Racial disparities in CVD incidence and mortality between African Americans and whites are well documented. CVD prevention includes healthy lifestyle behaviors, but the extent to which individuals believe that they are at risk for developing the disease is an important factor in health behaviors. Risk education that enhances knowledge and comprehension of risk factors may address perceived risk of developing CVD. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of alternate strategies for risk education on changes in perceived risk of CVD in a community-based sample of African American men and women.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-best-photograph\">Best Photograph<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/goldstar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2015GSJbestphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/goldstar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2015GSJbestphoto.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/goldstar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2015GSJbestphoto-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-james-mcmanusclass-of-2016social-studies-education-major\"><strong>James McManus<br>Class of 2016<br>Social Studies Education Major.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Second Battalion<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-featured-papers\">Featured Papers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item\"><details><summary class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item__title\"><strong>&#8220;The Ebola Epidemic: An Ethical Dilemma,&#8221; Matthew Scalise, Class of 2016, Biology Major.<\/strong><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p>The Ebola virus first appeared in 1976 in West Africa; the current outbreak in West Africa, however, is the largest Ebola outbreak since it was first discovered. The lack of infrastructure and political instability within the countries most affected by the virus have illustrated the extreme inefficiencies within their respective health care systems. Due to the ease with which this virus can travel, the international community has stepped in to provide medical aid and assistance. In certain cases, experimental drugs have been given to those who have the virus despite improper testing and oversight. As a result, a number of ethical issues have been raised.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item\"><details><summary class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item__title\"><strong>&#8220;Achievement Gaps and Affirmative Action: Social Responsibility?&#8221; James McManus, Class of 2016, Social Studies Education Major.<\/strong><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p>Education often does not receive as much publicity as other issues in the public eye, but education concerns tend to divide the country. Achievement gaps among genders, races, and socioeconomic strata are often not discussed but are at the heart of many of our nation\u2019s issues, from unemployment numbers to average salary and overall quality of life. Affirmative action, favoring students with a certain feature, characteristic, or situation in college placement, is a controversial way to fill quotas in incoming college classes in an attempt to close achievement gaps. Can we close achievement gaps by catering to a \u201clowest-common denominator\u201d in classes? Is affirmative action an ethical and effective way to eliminate achievement gaps?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item\"><details><summary class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item__title\"><strong>&#8220;The New Navy: From Wood to Steel,&#8221; Michael Barkley, Class of 2015, History Major.<\/strong><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p>This paper examines the impact of steel on the United States Navy.

In this case, the humans are actually clones, created in order to provide organ transplants to wealthy non-clones. In the novel Never Let Me Go, author Kazuo Ishiguro tackles this issue with grace. With this paper I intend to further examine the question of what should be more important- the desires of the few or the good of the collective? The clones are unusually preoccupied with religion, while the non-clones believe them to be soulless and expendable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator
