Emotional Labor
In our society, we are expected to be open and friendly with everyone (at least on the surface). People who work serving the public must be especially warm and pleasant, whether or not they feel that way. Flight attendants, for example, are trained to smile no matter how rude passengers are (think of Pan Am, SWA). Clerks are supposed to tell us to have a nice day. And, servers in restaurants are often expected to introduce themselves and carry on cheery conversations. This kind of job requirement has been labeled “emotional labor,” since it requires that we manufacture emotions that we may not feel. Critics have noted that it can be exhausting work.
Answer the following set of discussion questions and submit
Have you ever worked in a job that called for “emotional labor” of this kind?
How did you feel about it? How were you treated by the public?
Was your friendliness reciprocated, ignored, or responded to rudely?
Describe some of the situations where you had to “put on a front.” Some people report that having to do this kind of emotional work makes them feel either guilty or phony. How can people keep from feeling burnt out by the interpersonal demands of their jobs?
Are men and women expected to show equal signs of warmth and friendliness or is there a sexual division of emotional labor?
How are emotional displays related to status (position in society, income level, etc.)?
Is the head of an organization expected to engage in as much emotional display as a clerical worker?
How personal should people be with those they work with?
Should a certain amount of reserve be maintained on the job, or is it always healthy to be as friendly and personal as possible?

I enjoyed reading your post regarding your implementations to improve the maternal and children mortality rate within Bolivia. The maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Bolivia is one of the higher rates in Latin America, at 229 per 100,000 live births.¹ With the implementation of insurance policies and coverage for mother and children, does your implementation involves making maternal and prevent services free for women and children?

You must respond with at least 250 words. Your replies must do the following:
Rebuttals in which you will have the final word and clarify your classmates’ understanding.

Reference at least 1 scholarly source for each reply.
References in APA.

Great Post! You are well on your way to a successful program. I really enjoyed reading about your efforts to help reduce maternal and child mortality. You’ve posed an interesting area to address. I do agree that a well organized fundamental program is very much desired to help the people of Bolivia more importantly the mothers. The maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Bolivia is one of the higher rates in Latin America, at 229 per 100,000 live births1. Though this is already a high number, it becomes more shocking when disaggregated in terms of rural and urban MMR: According to Womankind Worldwide, the ratio for Rural Bolivia is 602 out of 100,0002. What makes this number more tragic is that it is unnecessarily high, as “most deaths related to pregnancy and childbirth in developing countries can be prevented through appropriate use of health services”3.
 
 Educating the community on the importance of utilizing health services and educating them on the reproductive system can be benefitting and more important save lives. You have mentioned that a vertical approach would best fit programs goals you are trying to obtain. Lankester states that vertical approaches work best for tackling single complex issues but they tend to bypass community action and initiative. They focus more on empowerment. I wanted to ask other than tackling the concern of why the people aren’t utilizing health amenities and empowering the locals with the knowledge of the reproductive system, are you also going to consider the other diseases that causes maternal and child mortality rate to increase?

I enjoyed reading your post regarding your implementations to improve the maternal and children mortality rate within Bolivia. The maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Bolivia is one of the higher rates in Latin America, at 229 per 100,000 live births.¹ With the implementation of insurance policies and coverage for mother and children, does your implementation involves making maternal and prevent services free for women and children? We know that poverty is closely linked with higher maternal and perinatal mortality.² When it comes to insurance policies and coverage, the out of pocket cost such as premiums for the coverage, the deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and out of pocket maximums need to be very affordable for the low income families. Also, if the maternal services and prevent services are free, this will encourage individuals within the low income community to go to the doctor for these services because they know it will all be covered.
 
Equal distribution of health facilities and providers in urban and rural areas is a great implementation, because individuals in rural area are forgotten when the country makes decisions on where to place health facilities. Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.³ Providers should be held to a standard of treating all women with respect and stick to the code of conduct regarding the services they provide to patients. Sexual and reproductive health education programs is a great idea in order in to control the fertility rate, but are there particular diseases associated with the maternal and children mortality rate? Should there be educational programs in place to address these diseases?

Part 5
Week 2 Individual Project 1
Deliverable length: 200 -250 words
Course Objective(s):

Identify the proper methods for thawing, cooking, holding, and reheating food items.
Discuss the importance and method of rapid cooling.
Identify the methods for controlling foodborne illness.
Describe methods of cleaning and sanitizing.

The hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) approach is a food safety management system that focuses on the control of hazards through the food flow other than just sanitation. These actions, critical control points (CCP) such as times and temperatures, are required to prevent or eliminate a food safety hazard, or reduce danger zones to acceptable levels.
Assignment
The new owners of Mario’s Italian Restaurant have decided that all of their recipes must have time temperature controls built into their existing recipe base to reduce the possibility of an outbreak of food-borne illness. They have given you their secret recipe (below) for their meat-based tomato sauce known as Bolognese sauce.
Answer the following questions as part of your response: 

Using the Bolognese sauce recipe with identified the cooking, cooling, times and temperatures.
Describe 4 approved methods for safely defrosting foods.
What steps must be taken if food is defrosted in a microwave? Why?
Describe the proper cooling method.
On the day of service, the Bolognese sauce is to be reheated and hot held for service. Again, what are the time and temperature controls?
Make sure to include time and temperatures for all processes, and explain how these methods reduce the incidences of food-borne illnesses. Rapid chilling, labeling, and storage must take place.
