Social Ecology of Health Promotion
Preservation of the existing ecosystems
Accumulating evidence suggest that sustainable agriculture should be promoted. The growth and development of agriculture will still be the driving force of the loss of ecosystems in the 21st century. In specified areas, the growth and development of agriculture poses a danger to ecosystems, establishment, evaluation, and technological diffusion. This could see the rise of the food production sustainably per unit area with the absence of trade-offs relating to excessive water consumption or nutrients and pesticides use, would lessen pressure significantly to ecosystems. For many cases, the required technologies are in place, and they could be implemented in a wider variety, but the nation is facing financial constraints and lacking intuitional capabilities to use and gain the stated technologies. In areas where technology is predominant of the landscape, maintenance of ecosystems within the landscape is a very significant constitute of the total efforts of conservation of the ecosystem, and in case they are well and properly managed, can also play a role in productivity of agriculture and ecosystem services sustainability which is provided for by biodiversity. For example, through control of pest, removing the excess nutrients, preventing the watercourses from soil erosion, soil fertility, and pollination (Scutchfield & Keck, 2009).
Benefits and limitations of the support for primary, secondary, and tertiary sewage treatments in your community
Treatment of primary water waste is a reference for the process of sedimentation and physical treatment instituted for removal of suspended...
A sedimentation basin typically circular has a cross-section that is the left, displays the overall solids and liquids flow pattern. The influent flows of water waste at the core of the sedimentation basin (clarifier). As the flow is directed from the clarifier circumference to the weir effluent, the solids are resolved out towards the outlet solids and are scraped. At the right side, a primary sedimentation basin in the circular sedimentation basin of the plant of water waste treatment exists (Hayden 2009).
The secondary process of water treatment is the removal of organic (biological, once living) waste material from wastewater, using a typical process of biological treatment. This method of treatment for of biological wastewater is popular and commonly used. Methods under this category include system stabilization and pond treatment, trickling filter, and activated sludge. Each of the above methods, work by combining water waste organic matter, dissolved oxygen and aerobic microorganisms. Biological water waste organic oxidation takes a position in the system of wastewater treatment naturally instead of in the river, stream of the lake, the way it would have in case the waste organic matter was to be dumped there. The biological process of treatment for the trickling filter that uses a base of rocks to allow for contact of the oxygen, aerobic bacteria and water waste organic matter (Stephens 2008).
Advanced treatment of water waste is instituted in a scenario where defined components of soft wastewater is removed using the secondary treatment process. Individual processes of treatment are mandatory for removal of phosphorous, nitrogen,…

Social Ecology of Health Promotion Modern day examples of human modification of an ecosystem Module 01 Question 01: Preservation of the existing ecosystems Various measures have been put in order to modify and contain the natural state of the ecosystem. Preservation is one of the approaches that have been used to foster equitable management of the ecosystem. Through preservation, it has become evident that the ecosystem has taken a different understanding from the
Social Ecology of Health Promotion Module 05 Question 01: explain the rationale behind the federal government's approach to regulatory containments in food. The federal government's approach in relation to the regulation of the containments in food, aims at protecting the consumers on food insecurity through elimination of food pathogens. It is the role of the government to enhance the health system and conditions of its citizens through adoption and implementation of various
Social Ecology and Homeless LGBT Youth The ecosystem is a basic well-structured and organized unit that facilitates the bringing together of the physical environment and the living organisms in a single framework. As a result, this makes it possible to study the interrelations between biotic and abiotic constituents. Social ecology takes into account the application of manifold levels and techniques of analysis and theoretical standpoints of social problems, acknowledging the dynamic
Health Behavior The "Theories At A Glance" manual discussed a variety of healthy behaviors. Select two theories that can be used to explain why people behave the way they do. Discuss the basic premise and constructs of the theories you choose. Cite two examples of how each theory could be used to explain a health behavior. Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) The relationship that exists between behavior and attitudes, beliefs and intention
Social Work A culturally sensitive model for practice is rooted in various systems approaches, taking into account factors such as family and community structure, worldview, role differentiation, and Hofstede's cultural dimensions. A social ecology framework posits the micro-meso-macro dimensions of social work and its intended effectiveness on these various spheres of influence. When the various inputs are incorporated into a culturally appropriate strategy, the social worker contributes to the overall health
In order to make better management of urbanization certain, governments can take on macroeconomic policies with the intention of alleviating the extent of urbanization to levels that can be controlled or to maintain people to keep on living in rural areas. A National Physical (Spatial) Development Plan could be set up as a principal means for dealing with the "national direction on distribution of population; utilization of land; development
