Instructions

Purpose: To show your ability to answer a client-specific report brief by researching appropriate information from the library, organising content into a report structure, writing coherent sentences and paragraphs using clear vocabulary and grammar, and formatting your writing to tertiary-level academic standards. Assignment question:Choose one of the topics below for your report assignment. Include a minimum of five (5) academic sources to support your statements. Format your report using APA style publication standards.Report briefs Topic 1: E-wasteWith the demand for electronic products and the throw-away nature of consumer behaviour, electronic waste or e-waste is increasing at an alarming rate. What classifies as e-waste? What types of e-waste contribute most to the problem? Does it cause pollution? Is this a serious problem for New Zealand? What solutions can be provided? An independent, environmental working group, EnviroNZ, has requested a report to better understand the growing problem of electronic waste (or ewaste) disposal. Tristan Johnston, Director of EnviroNZ, is interested in understanding the severity of this problem and what actions should be in place that could help individual homeowners, businesses, and public institutions in New Zealand. The research group will send your findings in a larger document to New Zealands Minister for the Environment; therefore, your report should include feasible recommendations which will hopefully begin to address this complex social and environmental issue. Topic 2: Flu vaccinationsA debate exists regarding the need for yearly flu vaccinations to be made mandatory for the general public. As migration, tourism and global trade has significantly increased over the past few decades, there is a concern amongst health professionals, politicians and policy advisers that a flu can easily spread through community transmission. One view is that flu vaccinations should be made compulsory; however, an opposing view suggests that flu vaccinations are recommended but remain optional for all citizens. A government subsidised organisation, HealthCare NZ, would like you to investigate the reasons supporting each side of the controversy. In your report, explain how the flu is transmitted and what health information exists for New Zealanders. Include recommendations on whether flu vaccinations should be made compulsory and how to educate the general public.Word limit: Between 1700-2000 words (include a word count at the end) (see the sample student reports from page 123)
