University Of California Oceanicas Throne Room Gods Short Story

University Of California Los Angeles

Question Description
1. Name and describe the major problem (again, climate change, pandemic, etc) that your project is responding to.

As humans have evolved and developed throughout time, the issue of marine pollution has steadily increased, resulting from new developments in technology. These new developments have allowed humanity to abuse its surroundings, funneling processed materials and disposing all of its rejected waste into the world’s oceans. From this blind ignorance to the abuse of the planet, massive garbage patches have formed as the ocean’s response to its treatment as a disposal site. Land runoff, ship disposal, sewage disposal, deep sea mining, and air pollution have all contributed to the degradation of our oceans that fuel life in all forms. This pollution has led to the evolution of animals—altering their biochemistry in response to new chemicals being infused into the oceans and transforming the food chain that leads directly back to humans.

2. Name and describe your group’s mythology — If you create a pantheon, describe all of the gods within it; if your focus is on specific myth-stories that change how we think about the large problem, then tell those stories. Your group has COMPLETE FREEDOM here.

Before humanity began, the oceans were peaceful and quiet. A population of ocean spirits subsided in the calm waters that surrounded every bit of land on Earth, ruled by their mother spirit, Oceanica, whose body encompassed the entire body of water. As time evolved, Oceanica and her children grew lonesome of their existence, and from their loneliness, they bore new organisms—microbes of life that would grow into humanity on land. Once these microbes evolved into humans, they began to conquer the unclaimed lands that Oceanica surrounded, dividing into their own subpopulations and warring over the masses of land. Without their mother spirit to guide them, they became distant and unruly, fighting and killing one another. Soon enough, they began to evolve further and develop industrially, utilizing resources from the land in order to build their dynasties and legacies. With this industrial revolution, they released new spirits into the atmosphere—air pollutants and spirits of waste that were drawn back to the oceans in which their makers, the humans, were born.

For humans’ own development, they constructed high-rise buildings, chemical factories; they over consume marine species by fisheries and trap marine creatures to the aquarium, which lead more and more species to go extinct from the ocean. As a result, the marine food chain is broken and unbalanced. Dumping their chemical waste, household garbage, industrial refuse to the ocean to pretend as if they never produced all of that. When those pollutants gradually harms the oceans, all the gods that guard the ocean spirits plan to defend oceanica. The god of acidification in the ocean, his duty is to keep all of the chemicals and elements in a proper balance so that the water is in good condition to hold all those marine animals in proper living conditions. The god of current is taking charge of the waves to make sure the rising and receding tide are in proper amounts and don’t rush to the human land to create over flooding. Also, the waves don’t hurt people who surf and ship transit as well as keeping cruise tourists safe on the ocean. The god of evolution takes charge of marine animals in the oceans, she keeps every species in the proper place of habitats, and she also controls the marine lives breeding and evolution for over thousands of years. The whole ecosystem underwater relies on her to be balanced. However, those gods together are discussing how to fight back against humans in order to let them know what they had done to the ocean is wrong and all of that will pay back to themselves…..continue write

And you need to write about how they fight back/ examples: god of acidification (releasing toxins from trash into waters so people don’t survive in them), god of currents (currents form garbage patches so trash isn’t everywhere), god of evolution (changing animals to survive in these oceans)

We can create the new pantheon of ocean gods in response to marine pollution and write a descriptive paragraph per each of them

Discussion Board Instructions/Expectations [READ]
Chapter Discussion Boards are a major part of the course as well as a big part of your overall grade in the course. Interaction is the key to learning! For this course, interaction is based on discussion board posts.

Each student must post their own response to the discussion board question (called an original thread) along with posting a response to at least two other student postings (called a peer response).
When you respond to a peer posting, you don’t always have to agree with them. Use your critical thinking skills and analyze their response, give more details or challenge their assumptions. Being a good student means using critical thinking! You will want to create discussion board assignments that are meaningful and interesting to you personally and to your colleagues in the class.
This assignment is a discussion between you and your classmates. It is not necessary to evaluate the post. You will need to stay away from evaluative statements: “You did a really great job. You have all the required information and I like your structure, it is organized.” Address the chapter prompt.
Do not use material from your original post in your peer responses (including the textbook references).
Do not copy and paste materials from any peer original threads in your response, i.e., …when you said “and then you copy and paste a chunk from the original thread you are responding to…” Yeah, that, don’t do that.
Textbook References: Clear references to the textbook are required in both the original thread post and both peer responses for all course DBs.

Textbook references should come from the chapter(s) specified in the assignment prompt and be clearly connected to your post and the assignment topic.
Be sure and include the chapter and page number from the textbook in your posts, for example (chapter 2, 59), just as you would do for any research paper/post!
Chapter DBs: You can earn a total of 10 points per discussion board: 5 points maximum for your original thread posting and 5 points maximum for your response to 2 or more other student’s postings:

Original threads/posts should be at least 400-500 words total and have a least one clear and connected textbook reference from the specified chapter with a proper citation (chapter number, page number).
Each of the two peer responses should be at least 150 words each in length and have a least 1 textbook reference from the specified chapter. You will have one textbook reference in each of your peer response posts.
Important Information:

Participants must create/post a thread in order to view other threads in each forum.
Please do not include prompt/DB questions in your posts.
Your post should be in essay format (paragraphs), not a list of answers with bullets
Grammar and spelling should be checked and corrected before you post. You cannot edit or delete your post once you submit/post it. Do not post a response to your original post with additional information or materials.
Do not submit your post as an attachment or link(i.e., Word file, Google Docs, etc). It must be typed/copy & pasted into the text box.
All DB assignments require multiple textbook references.

You will be required to write a total of three 2-3 page journal entry (double-spaced), in which you describe and reflect on an interpersonal communication concept discussed in class.

Briefly describe the normal function of these three systems and associated organs:

The Immune System functions consist of a series of cells, chemicals, and barriers that protect the body from invasion by pathogens (Colbert et al. , 2013) The associated organs are Lymphoid Organs, Bone Marrow, Thymus, Lymph Nodes, Spleen, Tonsils, and Mucous membranes. The Gastrointestinal systems functions consist of Ingestion, Mastication Digestion, Secretion, Absorption, and Excretion (defecation) (Colbert et al. , 2013) The associated organs are the Salivary glands, Liver, Gallbladder, and the pancreas. Lastly, the Urinary System functions consist of making urine, thereby controlling the body’s fluid and electrolyte (ion) balance, eliminating waste products, and removing nitrogen-containing wastes, certain salts, and excess water from the blood through excretion. (Colbert et al, 2013) The associated organs are the kidneys, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder, and urethra.

Choose and briefly describe one chronic disease or disorder for each of the three systems and explain how the diseases/disorders alter the normal function:

The Immune System: A well-known disease of this system is Immunodeficiency. This disease is the result of a weak immune system that is unable to fight off even mild infections. (Hopkins, 2020)

The Gastrointestinal System: A common disorder of this system is Constipation. This disorder is a result of a person passing less than three bowel movements a week or has difficult bowel movements.

The Urinary System: A common disorder of this system is Urinary Tract Infection. This disorder is the result of an infection in any part of the urinary system, the kidneys, bladder, or urethra.

Examine potential causes for the disease or disorder and list signs and symptoms that indicate the disease has developed:

The Immune System: Immunodeficiency can be caused by a genetic defect. Signs that this disease has developed are chronic ear infections, meningitis, pneumonia, etc.

The Gastrointestinal System: Constipation is caused by eating foods with low amounts of fiber. Signs that this disorder has developed are the loss of appetite, lethargy, and cramping.

The Urinary System: A Urinary Tract Infection is caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract. Signs this disorder has developed are a burning sensation when you urinate, needing to urinate more frequently, and small amounts of urine.

Analyze actions people can take to reduce their risk of developing the chronic disease or disorder. Briefly explain how these actions would impact the environment:

The Immune System: Gene therapy could help treat Immunodeficiency. No one knows how it affects the environment.

The Gastrointestinal System: Constipation can be treated and cured with more fibrous foods and drinking more liquids. It affects the environment by creating less toxic waste because of how bunched up the person may be.

The Urinary System: An UTI can be treated with antibiotics and cranberry juice or pills. It affects the environment by creating more toxic waste with how much the person with the infection urinates in a day.

Normal function of the Immune system includes the ability to fight pathogens, parasites and fungi within the body, recognize and neutralize harmful substances from the environment, and fight disease causing changes in the body (How Does, 2020).

Normal function of the Gastrointestinal system allows your body to break down food into nutrients. These nutrients are then transferred via the blood stream to provide energy to the muscles. This process begins at the oral cavity where food is softened and moistened for the digestive system

Normal function of the Urinary system allows your body to filter blood and create a waste by-product known as urine. “The kidney and urinary systems help the body to eliminate liquid waste called urea, and to keep chemicals, such as potassium and sodium, and water in balance” (Anatomy, 2020).

Brief description of a chronic disease for the immune, GI, and urinary systems along with information on how normal function is altered/impacted due to the disease: A chronic immune disease like Lyme’s Disease alters your immune system by causing rashes, fevers, headaches, and fatigues; if not treated it can lead to nervous system and heart issues. Celiac Disease is an immune disease that effects the GI system. Patients with Celiac Disease cannot have gluten in their diet since their body responds to this by damaging their small intestine. A disease that can effect your urinary system is bladder cancer. This is cause by abnormal growth of the cells in the bladder and can spread to other organs and lymph nodes within the body and can cause bloody urine, pain, and frequent urination (Bladder, 2020).

Brief description of the normal function of the immune, gastrointestinal and urinary systems and associated organs:

Normal function of the Immune system: To keep the body free of infection. According to PokemanMinecraft (2010), “The immune system attacks one type of microbe, overcomes it and provides future protection against that microbe but no other. This is why we refer to the immune system as a specific defense against invasion.”
Normal function of the Gastrointestinal system: To take in, break down, absorb, and eliminate food that enters the body (Colbert, Ankney, & Lee, 2013).
Normal function of the Urinary system: To make urine, thereby controlling the body’s fluid and electrolyte balance, eliminating waste products, and removing nitrogen-containing wastes, certain salts, and excess water from the body through excretion (Colbert, Ankney, & Lee, 2013).
Brief description of a chronic disease for the immune, GI, and urinary systems along with information on how normal function is altered/impacted due to disease:

A chronic disease of the immune system: Celiac disease

This disease impacts the immune system function by: causing chronic inflammation in the small intestine.

Potential causes for this disease or disorder: Health issues such as surgery, a pregnancy, childbirth, bacterial gastroenteritis, viral infection, or severe mental stress can trigger celiac disease.

Signs and symptoms that indicate the disease has developed: fatigue, bone or joint pain, arthritis, seizures, migraines, missed menstrual periods, dermatitis, peripheral neuropathy, and infertility.

Actions people can take to reduce their risk of developing this disease. The only way to manage the symptoms of celiac disease is to eat a strict gluten-free diet. There is no medication that treats this disease.

These actions impact the environment by: increasing the risk of death in patients with celiac disease.

A chronic disease of the gastrointestinal system: Irritable Bowel Syndrome

This disease impacts the gastrointestinal system function by: causing the digestive tract not to function as it should.

Potential causes for the disease or disorder: muscle contractions, inflammation in the intestines, severe infection, and changes in bacteria in the gut.

Signs and symptoms that indicate the disease has developed: abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, excess gas, diarrhea, constipation, and mucus in the stool.

Actions people can take to reduce their risk of developing this disease: self-care to include quitting smoking, avoiding caffeine and foods that make symptoms worse, and getting regular exercise.

These actions impact the environment by: decreasing a person’s quality of life. IBS frequently affects individuals of working age, which can led to an increased financial burden when they are too sick to work.

A chronic disease of the urinary system: Kidney disease

This disease impacts the urinary system function by: preventing the kidneys from absorbing water from the urine to reduce the volume of urine and concentrate it.

Potential causes for the disease or disorder: diabetes and high blood pressure

Signs and symptoms that indicate the disease has developed: urinating at night, fatigue, nausea, itching, muscle twitching. cramps, loss of appetite, confusion, difficulty breathing, and body swelling.

Actions people can take to reduce their risk of developing this disease: make healthy food choices, make physical activity part of daily routine, aim for a healthy weight, and get enough sleep.

These actions impact the environment by: providing limited or lack of access to clinical care.
