In my workplace I can earn points through a wellness application on my phone that allows me to cash in my points over time for gift cards. It is a great tool to encourage me to go for a run, meditate or get more sleep, amongst many other opportunities. Another opportunity example is to earn points by beginning to make an effort to quit smoking. If a current smoker tracks their non-smoking habit, they get points. Seems like a great opportunity for a smoker to make the decision for themselves on if they want to smoke or not as this is a legal practice across America. The key is that it’s a decision they get to make themselves and if they don’t they can still earn points for gift cards in other ways. No employee should feel like a legal practice being done during their off hours should lead them to being at risk of losing their job or health insurance. Understanding,…

The financial statements help the end-users, such as the business owners, to ascertain whether they are in a position to meet financial obligations as they fall due. The cash flow sources include operating, investing, and financing activities. In accounting, cash is the most liquid current asset; as such, any business should have a cash reserve for day to day operating expenses.

Over-the-counter Drugs In my opinion, prescription and over the counter drugs are very addictive, and in most cases, they are abused by the users. Drugs such as the painkillers (Opioid) are prescribed to ease someone from pain, but some people use them for the wrong purpose. In cases where the doctor correctly prescribes the painkillers, they become beneficial. However, there people who prescribe for themselves until they become very ineffective, but they cannot do without them. Other commonly used over-the-counter medications are stimulants. These drugs are prescribed to increase the activities of the nervous system. They can also be used to treat asthma, obesity, and respiratory problems. When the prescription is done in the right way, they are very safe. However, some people abuse stimulants for their beneficial reasons hence leading to addiction. Another commonly abused type of medication is the sedatives, which are the depressants of the central nervous system. The doctor can prescribe the sedatives to relieve anxiety and help in the sleeping problems of the patient. However, if bought for the wrong purpose other than having the…
Habitat/Niche I live in an urban system, which I would refer to as a town habitat. While my habitat is densely populated with human beings, the tropical rainforest accommodates a countable number of human beings. However, there is an abundance of wild animals and vegetation in the tropical rainforest compared to my town habitat. In fact, there is no wild animal in my habitat. Moreover, while my habitat is composed of high-rise buildings, tropical rainforest is composed of build-up trees and bushes. However, it is important to note that human beings can live and survive in the two habitats. Other factors that are common in both habitats include the existence of a physical geography and landscape elements. Drawing from a contrast between my niche and that of an ecologist studying sloth behaviour, there is no doubt that I share some of the normal daily routines with the ecologists such as taking breakfast in the morning and supper in the evening. Additionally, as I take time to go through my assignments and do research using books and internet sources, I…

Many people have had negative ideas about Obesity, with some people stigmatizing the obese around them. Obesity, according to various medical communities, occurs as a result of individual failing that ends up straining people’s health care system; it also shrinks a country’s Gross Domestic Product as well as affecting the strength of the military.
