Upon successful completion of Milestone One, you should be able to:
● Explain the biological and molecular basis of public health [MPH.BIO.04]
● Apply biological principles to development and implementation of disease prevention, control, or management programs [MPH.BIO.08]
● Integrate general biological and molecular concepts into public health [MPH.BIO.10]
Overview
Milestone One: Introduction
In Module Two, you will submit a paper that describes the health issue, how the issue developed, why the pathogen is a concern based on its molecular and
biological components and that includes a general discussion of how biology informs public health programs and interventions. This milestone will be graded
with the Milestone One Rubric.
Prompt
You will select a case scenario focused on a biologic agent and perform a case analysis. You will analyze the influences on the agent, the impact of the agent on
society, and determine an appropriate strategy to combat the agent.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction: In this section you will set the stage for your analysis by describing the public health issue, its development, and its concern to public
health.
A. Describe the public health issue in your selected scenario and its importance and relevance to the world.
B. Outline how the issue has developed, providing specifics around the biological and molecular components.
C. Explain why, based on its biological and molecular components, this pathogen is of concern to public health.
D. Analyze how biology assists public health in planning, implementing, and evaluating local or global public health programs and interventions. In
other words, analyze the relationship between biology and public health’s attempts to mitigate diseases

Three biggest differences between life at the start of the 20th century and today
Answer one of the three prompts listed below with a short essay (2-5 pages, 12 point font, double-spaced, with name and title). The essay should include
a.) an introduction paragraph with a thesis and
b.) three body paragraphs (min. 7 sentences each) providing detailed descriptions of supporting evidence.
Each body paragraph should include at least one quote from the course readings to support your argument. Quotes or ideas taken from non-assigned readings are not necessary, and they must be cited in Chicago style with footnotes if used. This response must be your own; any uncited work copied from another student or an online source may be considered academic dishonesty and result in a zero.
1. In Short Response #2, you were asked to identify the three biggest differences between life at the start of the 20th century and today. But what has stayed the same? Identify three areas of continuity in modern U.S. history, with a body paragraph for each. In those paragraphs, present an argument for why the trend you have selected has persisted. Be sure to acknowledge and explain if/how the trends you select have had to change and evolve in different eras in
order to persist.
2. What social or political movement has had the biggest impact on shaping modern U.S. history? In your introduction, present your thesis argument. In your
first two body paragraphs, describe two different ways that the movement has shaped the country. In the third, identify what goals the movement has failed
to achieve and explain why (counter-movements, strong social norms, etc.)
3. What three single events- economic depressions, wars, political scandals, elections, concerts, etc.- have had the biggest impact on U.S. history in the past 120 years? Describe each with a full body paragraph that presents your argument for why these specific events were especially important within the context of the entire 20th/21st century.
