compare and contrast the values, world-views, similarities, and differences between the following approaches to governance and society

compare and contrast the values, world-views, similarities, and differences between the following approaches to governance and society in each of the following documents from the Sources of World Societies textbook:
The Laws of Manu (p. 39-42)
Confucian Maxims and Sayings (p. 49 -51)
Laozi offers advice on following the Way (p. 52-54)
Han Fei lays out the Legalist View of Good Government (p. 54-56)
Consider the following questions:
In these documents, what groups of people seem to have the most liberties and options in their societies? Who has the least? Why?
Do these documents all fit within the same genre? Are they, for example, what we would consider to be legal codes, or are they closer to a philosophy of life? Or would you consider them primarily political in nature?
What might account for the differences or similarities in these documents? Consider the following aspects of each society:
Geography
Religion
Economic status (i.e. is the economy doing well, or poorly, around the time the document was produced)
Where would these documents be posted, or how would they circulate? How would people hear about them, and be affected by them?
The stability of the political situation (i.e. is this a peaceful society, or warlike? Is it threatened by outside forces or internal instabilities?)
If mentioned, how does the treatment of women vary across these societies? What do you think explains differences or similarities?

Eric Lacourse and his colleagues used questionnaires to measure several variables: suicide risk (yes or no), marital status of parents (together or divorced/separated), the extent to which the person’s mother and father were neglectful, self-estrangement/powerlessness (adolescents who have negative self-perceptions, are bored with life, etc.), social isolation (feelings of a lack of support), normlessness (beliefs that socially disapproved behaviors can be used to achieve certain goals), meaninglessness (doubting that school is relevant to gain employment) and drug use. In addition, the authors measured liking of heavy metal; they included the sub-genres of classic (Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden), thrash metal (Slayer, Metallica), death/black metal (Obituary, Burzum) and gothic (Marilyn Manson). As well as liking, they measured behaviora...

Are there modifiable factors, such as health behaviors that lend themselves to better prevention efforts?

 Identify a current health issue of interest to you e.g diabetes, HIV/AIDS, heart disease etc. On the basis of current epidemiologic evidence, explain the factors that have contributed to the following: the observed trend in mortality rates for this disease, the changes in survival; the changes in incidence.
