Informative Presentation Outline

As we have learned, the overall purposes of the informative presentation can be to describe, demonstrate, or explain something to your audience.

You must be able to includes references to credible outside sources, (at least one for each main point of your presentation) so be sure to select a speech topic that has scholarly sources written about it. The natural tendency is for us to want to show how to do something as opposed to telling the audience. For this presentation, however, we will not be using visual aids. Therefore, it is very important that you use effective language in the delivery of your presentation as we learned in Week 1. This will help you to learn to be vivid in your delivery of a presentation without the use of presentation aids. A great presentation is well organized and easy for the listener to understand. Your audience has only one opportunity to understand the message conveyed in your presentation. This assignment requires that you create a formal outline. A formal outline is detailed and written in complete sentences instead of using a keyword or sentence fragment for each point.

Creating a formal outline will assist you both in developing your ideas and in following the organizational patterns that you have learned in this week’s readings and discussion forum about delivering presentations. A great presentation is well organized and easy for the listener to understand. Your audience has only one opportunity to understand the message conveyed in your presentation. It is important to have a clearly established audience for your presentation and to consistently adapt the content of your presentation for that audience.

For examples of acceptable and unacceptable ways of developing your formal outline, please review the Sample Outlines document.

Create your formal outline using the Informative Presentation Outline Template. The template includes all of the elements that are required for the outline.

Question 3024 Characteristics Of Interpersonal Communication

INTRODUCTION

Week 1: Characteristics and Utility of Interpersonal Communication

Constantly talking isn’t necessarily communicating.

—Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

All interpersonal communication begins with a need to convey a message to another person. Until very recently, this has primarily meant speaking face-to-face, handwriting a letter, or calling by phone. Now, technologies such as e-mail, text messaging, instant messaging, social media, and video chat applications offer even more popular interpersonal communication options. Today, there are a myriad of ways to communicate, but no matter which you choose, you are still faced with the responsibility to communicate well so that others may understand you.

In order to be a clear communicator, you must first understand how interpersonal communication is structured and what elements influence effective communication. This week, you will focus on some of the basic theories, principles, and models of communication. You will consider guidelines for being a more effective interpersonal communicator.

Through the Discussion and the Assignments, you will apply learning and insights to your own interpersonal relationships—a reflective first step to developing new communication skills. You will also be introduced to your Final Project. Work on this assignment begins in Week 1. It is therefore recommended that you carefully review the Final Project guidelines early in this week.

Learning Objectives

Explain the importance of the principles of interpersonal communication
Define interpersonal communication
Apply basic models of interpersonal communication to your own life

Not part of the 150-200 words will be a description of where you found this news item (N.Y. Times, CNN on TV, etc.), the title of the story, the date, and URL, if applicable, although I need to have this info. Just don’t count these words toward you 150-200 range. The story must appear in the news media during April 7, 2019—April 12, 2019. In addition to the summary of the story, I’m looking for any insights you might have on why this is an important case or issue and any implications for journalists, organizations, the media in general, corporations, etc. Remember: If your story has nothing to do with the First Amendment or nothing to do with the media, it will count as a zero. The story must include BOTH.

Writing newscast teases is one of the most important jobs in keeping your audience tuned to your program for the entire time. A tease should be short and not reveal the whole story. If that were the case, then your audience would turn the channel after hearing the tease. You wish to tease your audience by not giving all the details of the story. Keep the audience guessing or hanging on. Below you will find ten story leads. These are not all factual stories. You are to write a tease for each story. Write your teases in present, present-perfect or future tense. Three points will be counted off for each tease written in past tense.

Question 3028 Inductive and Deductive Reasoning

Attachment preview

Instructions: In class we discussed the logic behind inductive and deductive reasoning, as well as specific examples of each of these types of reasoning. For this activity, you will watch a short scene from the movie Sherlock Holmes (2009) in which Sherlock Holmes uses reasoning to reach conclusions about his friend Dr. Watson’s new fiancé, Mary Morstan. You will then decompose the premises and conclusions of arguments within this scene. Refer to class notes from Units 10 (Logical Reasoning) as well as the Facione and Gittens (2013) readings from each of these units to help you complete this activity.

(1) Watch the scene from Sherlock Holmes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=388-rOzD9SM) and address each of the following:
a. Choose two arguments from the scene.
b. Identify whether each argument is inductive or deductive.
c. Construct the argument using the following format:
Premise #1: _______________________
Premise #2: _______________________
Conclusion: _______________________

Hint: if an argument you chose is deductive, also make sure to follow the appropriate language template (e.g., denying the consequent, applying a generalization, etc.).

Question 3030 Media Crisis Management

A paper about handling a crisis on media so focus on a single event/crisis and see how a company/corporation or a government has handled the crisis on media.

(Six to seven pages- double space & font size 12)

bibliography not counted in total words)

The purpose of this assignment is to deepen your understanding of academic research design and process. For this assignment, you have to conduct a literature review on the topic that you have selected (and approved by me), choose the appropriate research methods and present your data gathering plan. Your research proposal should be five to seven pages–double-spaced pages with standard margins, a “Works Cited” (MLA) or “References” (APA) page(s).The “Works Cited” (MLA style) or “References” (APA style) is essentially keyed to your actual citations in your text (If you need help with references and in-text citation, you may consult the Library website or a librarian).

In order to keep your paper to only five to seven pages, try to think that you should think of your topic as a question to be answered. When writing your paper, keep in mind these four parts:

Introduction – including the purpose and importance of the study
Literature Review –a survey of the theory and research related to the problem
Methodology
Data Collection Plan

A passing paper must address all these four parts and cite at least 6 relevant sources. Not encyclopedias or dictionaries or Wikipedia should be used.

Question 3031 Torey Lampart Case Study

In the Torey Lampart case, how do you assess the responsibility for the unfortunate conflict that has arisen? Is there any possible solution to have her stay, or at least a reconciliation? If so, how should this now be conducted?

Question 3032 13th Documentary

Watch the documentary 13th (2016). Documentary available on Netflix and write a 750-1000 word essay on what you learned from the documentary and how it relates to the topics of our class. Going over 1000 word limit is ok.

Writing Your Essay

The essay should reflect careful thought, writing, and attention to form. The essay is a form of expository prose, a kind of writing in which you argue several points. Once you selected your documentary, watch it several times, noting the thesis and the subpoints in the reading. You can also note aspects of style that affect the strengths and weaknesses in the article, and how well the article develops its main ideas and subpoints. If you are not familiar with the topic/issue discussed in the documentary, you will need to do additional research to learn about the event/topic/issue covered in the news article.

Work on this essay similarly to how you completed your first assignment. Begin with an outline, write a draft, then refine your essay.

Additional Research Required

To support your analysis, you must cite at least 2 scholarly sources. These have to be in addition to sources you read as part of the course. So citing course readings is strongly suggested but will not count towards the 2 source requirement.

INTERRACIAL COMMUNICATION THEORY INTO PRACTICE (MARK P. ORBE AND TINA M. HARRIS)

Question 3034 Data Analytics Application Articles

ANALYTICS APPLICATIONS:

Nate Silver is one of the most prominent current practitioners of analytics. He came to national attention for his political modeling during the 2012 presidential election, when he correctly predicted the outcome in all fifty states. (He didn’t do quite so well in 2016, but at least was giving Donald Trump one chance in three of winning the election when virtually every other analyst was pretty much writing off his chances.) Before he became famous for his political analyses he was well-known in sabermetric (i.e., baseball statistics) circles for his development of the PECOTA system of analyzing player performance.

His website, fivethirtyeight.com (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.(named for the total number of electoral votes) contains a large and regularly updated collection of analytics-related articles on a variety of topics. While it is most famous for, and best at, political and sports analysis, there are also articles on a variety of other topics, ranging from science to the Oscar race. Some of them, admittedly, are fluff. (One of the curses of running a major internet presence is that you have to post stuff even when there isn’t stuff worth posting.) But many articles involve some serious analytic work, involving on real data crunching and giving good insight.

Your task on this assignment is to identify TWO good articles on that site. A “good” article in this context means one involving some actual data analysis, not merely some opinionating. For each article, read the article and provide a brief (one or two paragraph) summary. Be sure to include the title of the article and a full citation for each article.

Due Sunday, November 4, 2018. Your work should be 12-point font and double spaced. Your citations should be on a separate page at the end of your assignment. Citations are in APA format.

Question 3057 Relationships And Perceptions Between Self & Others

INTRODUCTION: Week 2: Relationships and Perceptions Between Self and Others

What you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing; it also depends on what sort of person you are.

—C.S. Lewis, The Magician’s Nephew

As you begin to work on Week 2 of this course, ask yourself this question: “Who am I right now?” You may be “the student” who is preparing to focus on coursework, “the parent” who has to leave the computer soon to tuck a child into bed, or any number of other “selves” that flow in and out of your daily situations. How do these “selves” change depending on the people around you? What are the changes in how you represent yourself when you talk with your coworkers compared to when you talk with your friends?

This week’s content moves from the interpersonal communication foundation introduced in Week 1 to looking at how your relationships and perceptions of yourself and of others impact how you apply interpersonal communication skills. In this week, you will consider your self-concept and how you present different “faces” in different contexts, and how these faces play in your relationships and communication with others.

You will also consider how one’s own perceptions develop and how that ties into identity formation, relationships, and communication with others. By the end of this week, you may have a new appreciation for the complexity inherent to your relationships and perceptions of others!

Learning Objectives

Students will:

Explain how communication shapes the self
Identify how particular others and the generalized other shape our identity
Explain the three-step process of perception
Appraise problematic stereotypes
Explain factors that affect individuals’ perceptions
Analyze methods for improving perception and communication

Question 3059 Cultural Approach Individual Communication Theory

Cultural Approach to Organizations
The Cultural Approach contends that people are like animals who are suspended in webs that they created. Theorists in this tradition argue that an organization’s culture is composed of shared symbols, each of which has a unique meaning. Organizational stories, rituals, and rites of passage are examples of what constitutes the culture of an organization.

The presentation should illustrate and explain a specific interpersonal, group or organizational communication theory or set of theories as one might experience in the workplace. (Alternate scenarios may be permissible. Consult your instructor.) You are to dramatize,illustrate and/or explain your theories through an informative, original PowerPoint or other multimedia presentation format such as Animoto, PowToon, or Prezi. The presentation should be designed to help your classmates understand interpersonal communication principles, so it can entertain while it explains. This project is meant to be a fun way for you to demonstrate your understanding of the general principles we’ve been examining, both in the presentations you produce and in the way you interact in a small group or individually with your class.

Presentations will be evaluated for substance and creativity.

You can write reflection papers about the class sessions, exercises, guest speakers and movies wherever you see this note: ‘Don’t forget to write your reflection paper after today’s class’. A reflection paper is not a recap of the class, lecture or the exercise. A proper reflection paper is a combination of your thoughts, analysis of what you have experienced. In doing so, please relate your reflections to class topics. A reflection paper demonstrates your understanding and interpretation of the experience/course material. Therefore, a reflection paper is a personal account and is less structured than a regular paper you write for other classes. Each journal entry should be minimum 500 words. Please include a word count.

Question 3061 A Tale of Two Routes

Activity 14: A Tale of Two Routes

Instructions: In class we discussed one of the major theories ofpersuasion, the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM). For this activity, you will apply your knowledge of the two routes of processing proposed by the ELM (i.e., the central and peripheral routes) to identifying the extent to which components of a sales pitch on the popular show Shark Tank encourage each of these routes. Refer to class notes from Unit 13 (Persuasion and Public Communication) as well as the Booth-Butterfield (n.d.) and O’Keefe (2012) readings from Unit 13 to help you complete this activity.

Choose any sales pitch from Shark Tankduring whichentrepreneursask the Sharks to invest in their product. You may choose any sales pitch that is available to you on Youtube. Then, respond to the following:

(1) Identify 3message factorsfrom this clip that encouraged central route processing about investing in the product and describe why they are relevant to the message argument of investing in the product.

(2) Identify 3message factors from this clipthat encouraged peripheral route processing about investing in the product and describe why each is a heuristic cue rather than a message that supports the message argument of investing in the product.

(3) Are the Sharks more likely to process centrally or peripherally? Why? Make sure to discuss this in terms of your motivation and your ability to process the message.

(4) When YOU watched this video, did you use central or peripheral route thinking? Why? Make sure to discuss this in terms of your motivation and your ability to process the message.

If so, describe at least two ways Mr. Smith is a good representation of Aristotle’s ideal citizen. If not, describe at least two reasons why Mr. Smith would fall short in Aristotle’s estimation.

However, Plato endorses a political system built on similarly rigid social hierarchies as the most-just kind of political order. Does the system on display in the film embody his vision of the ideal-city ruled by the Wise? If so, describe how this system ensures “Justice” as Plato understands it.

Choose ONLY ONE prompt:

1) Katniss exists in a state that seems to bear many similarities to absolutist regime, or Leviathan, Thomas Hobbes believes is the best system of government because it ensures peace. However, Katniss and many of the other Tributes rebel and seek to create a new system of government. Based on your reading of both Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, is Katniss’s revolution justified? That is, would Hobbes and/or Locke endorse the revolution she ends up leading as the “Mockingjay”? Why or Why not? In your answer, cite at least one direct quotation from both Locke and Hobbes.

*OR*

2) Rousseau’s political theory has frequently been accused of justifying violent repression of dissidents or those who oppose political regimes in the name of the “General Will” and “The People.” Based on your viewing of the film Danton, do you believe these criticisms are justified? In other words, are the actions of Robespierre against Danton a correct interpretation of Rousseau’s ideas, or do they represent a corrupted or perverse understanding of Rousseau’s work? In your answer, include at least two direct quotations from Rousseau.

Question 3092 Policy Making Ability of the President

Checks and Constraints of the Presidency

You have studied how the legislative and judicial branches of government have a wide variety of checks that they can utilize to constrain the power of the president.

However, the framers of the U.S. Constitution also invested within the presidency a wide arsenal of tools. These tools allow the executive branch to effectively block the policymaking powers of other branches of government. As the Learning Resources indicate, even the threat of a veto from the White House is often enough to greatly influence discussions, compromises, and working sessions regarding legislation for one simple reason: It is extremely difficult for the Congress to muster a two-thirds majority to override a presidential veto. Therefore, the very threat of such a veto is often enough to motivate lawmakers to change course or to integrate important considerations of the president.

While there are many checks and balances between the different branches of the federal government, the extent to which they are used depends upon the individuals who occupy offices in Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Oval Office.

Consider how the powers and constraints of the executive branch may influence the policymaking ability of the president. Think about how the powers of the presidency might serve as a check on the policymaking activities of the legislative and judicial branches of government.

The Executive Branch, best exemplified in the person of the president, saw its power grow considerably in the 20th century. Consider the scope of those powers and the degree to which the other two branches of government have constrained the reach of the Executive Branch in recent years.

Select one constraint and one power of the executive branch (presidency). Then analyze the impact of each on the policymaking powers of the legislative and judicial branches.

The Assignment 1-1.5 pages must include:

an explanation of one constraint on the policymaking powers of the presidency.
Then explain one power that allows the executive branch to serve as a check on the policymaking powers of the legislative and judicial branches.
Provide and analyze an example of a recent policy decision (The “Muslim Ban” is a good example) that illustrates either a constraint on the power of the executive branch or a check on the powers of the other branches.

Question 3093 Ideas and American Foreign Policy

Prompt

Thus far in our class we have read and discussed a wide variety of arguments for specific foreign policies beginning with the early Republic though the start of the Second World War. Doing so has allowed us to see how certain ideas, arguments, and themes have changed in response to new threats and opportunities. Although all of these arguments were made prior to the advent of modern game theory, they all nevertheless employ implicit or explicit strategic logic. Indeed, given our readings in the intellectual development of US foreign policy, it is clear that the earliest statesman of the United States understood the role of strategy and advocated for policies which they believed were in the best interests of America’s strategic place in the world.

In this essay, you are to select 4 selections from previous readings and analyze their strategic logic. You can choose any selections that we have read thus from Ideas and American Foreign Policy. Possible questions to consider include (but are not limited to):

Do the early policy-makers advocate for positions which make strategic sense? Why or why not?
Are there lessons from the early history of American foreign policy which can be applied today?
Why do several others seem to point to the same principle but reach different conclusions? Is it because some misunderstood or were misrepresenting the principle, or because the application of the principle changed according to different fact-patterns in the changing landscape of international politics?
Is America safer with a foreign policy of engagement with the world or with a turning away toward insular concerns?

Guidelines

Your paper should follow the standard 5 paragraph essay, with one paragraph for an introduction, one for a conclusion and three well-written paragraphs which defend or otherwise advance your thesis. If necessary, you may include an additional 2 paragraphs for a total of 7 paragraphs. Your paper should therefore be about 1000-1400 words.

Your paper must have a clearly defended thesis. You must also rely only on the texts to justify your position. Outside citations are not permitted: this is not a research paper but a sustained reflection on the course to this point.

You be graded on the quality of your thesis, evidence, logic, formatting, and spelling/grammar.

The best papers will, in addition to a clearly articulated and defended thesis, format their papers in line with the Chicago Manual of Style. Papers should use 1″ margins on all sides, use 12pt Times New Roman Font, and double spaced text. Include a formatted title page. For additional information on these guidelines, see the formatting handout given in class. (If you were not in class, you should consult Kate Turabian, A Manual for Writers, Eighth Edition[Chicago Press].).

On November 6th, 2018 we had a midterm election that choose U.S. senators and representatives as well as a number of state and local officials from governors on down to local justices of the peace. Midterm elections have historically low voter turnout (only about 40% of those eligible actually vote – and even less in Texas!). Consider what you’ve read in the chapters and comment on the following:

What is necessary for a democracy to thrive? Can it still exist without the things you mentioned?
Why are so few Americans inclined to participate in the process that determines so much about their lives?
Do Americans even want a democracy? Is there a better alternative?

Assignment:

(1) How is the media, biased, more towards progressive-liberal values, conservative values or in both directions depending on the specific media outlets you may access? Explain your response.

(2) Find two or more examples of media bias (video clip, article, images) and attach to your Dropbox submission. Explain in detail how these example/s represent media bias and the impact that it has on public opinion. As part of your research and examination of media bias include recent polling data results showing the public’s confidence in the objectivity or fairness of the media. Provide an Internet citation for each polling source discussed.

Question 3126 Robert Josephs Texas Candidate for US Senate

Objective: The objective of this assignment is for students to think critically about effective political campaigns in Texas and understand both the personal and social responsibility inherent in representative democracy.

Attachment previewDescription of Assignment: You have been hired to be the campaign manager for a candidate to represent Texas in the United States Senate. As campaign manager, you need to develop the campaign plan based on the four of the five (do not worry about campaign organization) components of a modern campaign discussed in the lecture notes. In your paper, please address the following:

Candidate: A description of the qualifications (personal and professional) of the fictional candidate you will be working for. Create the biography for your candidate, including name, experience, history and characteristics (include political party) for your candidate. (Unit 2 Written Lectures, Slide 22)

Campaign Message: Select one of the campaign messages in the notes and talk about how it will be used in your campaign- it should be a good fit for the candidate you describe. (Unit 2 Written Lectures, Slide 23)

Campaign Strategy: Explain what types of voters are likely to vote for you (based on candidate qualities and campaign message). (Unit 2, Written Lectures, Slide 24)

Campaign Resources: Explain what types of people are most likely to donate money to and work in your campaign. (Unit 2, Written Lectures, Slide 24)

Question 3127 Constraints Of Powers And Legislative Branch

The legislative branch does not work in a vacuum. Instead, Congress crafts legislation with the full knowledge that the other two branches of government have the ability to limit the power of the legislative branch. However, checks and balances are a two-way street: the U.S. Constitution also delegates powers to the legislative branch to limit the powers of the judiciary and executive branches. Understanding these checks and balances is important from a constitutional perspective. It also gives you some insight into the constraints that members of the House and Senate are cognizant of as they go about the process of constructing public policy.

Think about the interactive constraints and powers of the legislative branch in relation to the judicial and executive branches. Consider, for example, how the budget process gives power and/or places restraints on the legislative branch of government. Also consider how the powers of the legislative branch might serve as a check on the policymaking powers of the judicial and executive branches.

Select one constraint and one power of the legislative branch of government. Consider how you might explain each. Think about how the power you selected specifically serves as a check on the other branches of government.

The Assignment must be 1-1.5 pages and include:

Post an explanation of one constraint on the policymaking powers of the legislative branch in the US
Then explain one power that allows the legislative branch to serve as a check on the policymaking powers of the executive and judicial branches.

Resources will be provided, therefore they must be used and cited properly

Question 3128 Political Science Discussion Post Comment/Response

Question Description

In America today people get to elect the politicians they want to run their government. In many countries the citizens do not get to vote and others get to vote but there is only one candidate so it is a mute point if they vote or not. In America, the citizens not only get to vote for the officials that control their lives, they get to choose the candidates. The first step is the primaries, where the parties choose their candidates. It happens at every level, state , county and cities. In California, we have County Supervisors, City Mayors, and State Governor, just as an example of who is elected in our State, among many other positions, like Judges and the Chief of Police and State Senators and others. Most of all those positions have to go through a Primary, then the General Election, which is held every year on the first Tuesday of November. Every four years it is the big election, where we vote for the President . Over time it seems like the election process has changed.

First of all, the type of ballots that we get has changed over time. It was a straight ticket vote where all the candidates were on one ballot together based on their party, so you choose a party, grabbed a ballot and voted for everyone on that page. Then it evolved to what we have now is voting on a computer in many areas, or voting on a little punch booklet. All the candidates are on the ballot and we get to choose exactly who we want to vote for. As for the President, the person has to be nominated at the party’s National Convention. Also, at that time they draft the party platform, a statement of basically the party’s rules.

Then we have the electoral college controversy. The states all hold their presidential elections in November every four years and get the results then the Electoral College votes in December, someone from each and every state. There is an unwritten rule that the Electoral College votes the way their state voted, like if Abraham Lincoln won, the electoral college votes for Abe. the winner of this Electoral college vote, is deemed the winner. Over the 200 plus years that we have been using this system, our country has been doing very well, surprisingly enough. Now, there’s a big movement to change the voting system and eliminate this system. According to all knowledgeable people about this, it will never change . It will throw off the whole election protection of fairness. Without the way we do it now, the President will be elected solely by New York and California and maybe Texas and Ohio. We have 50 states that need to be included. Everyone wants equality and fairness so we cannot eliminate the Electoral College. Many young people think it seems more fair to have the majority vote decide who wins, but it is not.

The next major issue people are contentious about is that they want the candidates to only talk about issues and what they will do if they are elected, not to have negative campaigns and to keep everything friendly. That’s a great idea, but it does not work. Especially since today’s news media is not like it should be in reporting the facts and real news. The way the citizens learn about the candidates is by the campaigning and especially the debates. Many people obviously liked what Trump said during the primaries and then continued to like him and he won the election. This surprised many news people because in their opinion, he was not doing things the way they thought he should do and say things. It was almost as if the news media was in charge of the candidates and it was their demand that the candidate obey what they say. The funny thing is it ended up that the general public did not want the news media to control the candidates. It seemed like the general public was appreciative of straight forward talk, direct messages through Twitter and Instagram and they were tired of politicians who just had professionals write everything they should say on a teleprompter. In 2016, people were just happy to have a candidate with an alternative style and so, that candidate won. People were tired of all talk and no action.

I am of course, very skeptical of just about everything, so, it’s just me but I feel like there was lots of voter fraud in the 2018 midterms. I do not think there was as much in the 2016 election because no one ever imagined that Trump would win, so no one had to cheat. But in 2018, everyone in the swamp was running scared so they probably had a few million dead people vote. I read about many people who were caught cheating in that election.

In a perfect world, I would sure like to invent a fool proof voting machine, maybe voting by fingerprints, or something to keep our elections truly legit. I worry about our future and being free to vote and having our vote count. It is a very real concern in the whole world, especially in our country. We want the good guys running the country.

Question 3129 Electoral and Party Systems

Electoral & Party Systems): Again, unless some country is going through a constitutional change between systems, it’s unlikely you’ll find something direct about electoral systems. Therefore, you should find some news story about electoral competition (maybe an election coming up, an election that recently occurred, or controversy over one that recently occurred).The news link is https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w172wy9gq9xsk3x

What Needs to Go In an Entry?

Each entry needs to have four things:

1) A link to the story you are using, if it is available on the web. If you find a story in a print publication, you should be able to find and provide the link to it online. Many radio and television stories also likely have web links to listen or watch.

2) A short description of the event being covered. You do not need to get in great detail here. Just tell enough to cover the main points of the story. This need not be more than 2-3 sentences.

**Important: Do not cut and paste text from the story itself and use that as your summary. This constitutes plagiarism. The summary must be in your own words!**

3) Somewhere, in either the summary or the questions, you need to make it clear why you see a connection between this particular event or news story and the topic we have just covered. For example, one could write an entry on a story about the poor condition of roads in Kenya and how that has contributed to a recent traffic accident there. However, you should also make clear that you understand
that this story is related to the topic of The State (if you’re writing for that particular topic), in that even minimalists think that states should maintain roads, and the fact that Kenya does not do that very well is some indication of a weaker state.

4) At least 2 questions that came to mind as you read the story. I anticipate that these will mostly be “how” or “why” questions. For example, if you’ve read a story about ethnic violence in Myanmar (Burma), a question might be, “Why did Group A attack Group B?” If civilians, or even children, were targeted in the attack, a good question would be “Why did the attackers target children?”

A really good question integrates significant amounts of context from the story. For example, if you were reading a story from August 2013 about the elections in Zimbabwe, and the story mentioned how then-President Mugabe’s ZANU-PF party won quite a few seats in opposition strongholds (such as Masvingo Province), and how the last election in 2008 had involved significant violence against members of the opposition there, you could ask, “Why did people in Masvingo Province, who had voted for the opposition in the past, vote for Mugabe’s party in this election? Wouldn’t the violence people in the region suffered at the hands of ZANU-PF supporters in 2008 have made them unlikely to ever vote for ZANU-PF?”

These questions should be something that intrigues, puzzles, or even confuses you about the story. After a few weeks of this, you will hopefully be asking the types of questions that political scientists try to answer in their work.

Bad questions (for the purpose of this assignment) would be ones that are more strictly factual in nature. For example, if you read an article on the 2013 election in Zimbabwe, and it mentioned that ZANU-PF won in Masvingo Province, a good question would *not* be, “How many people voted in Masvingo Province?” Other inappropriate questions would be, “When did Zimbabwe get its independence?” “How old is Robert Mugabe?” “What are the main crops grown in Masvingo Province?” etc.

Also, avoid questions that simply ponder what will happen in the future. For example, “How much longer will authoritarianism last in Zimbabwe?” is not a good question for this assignment. Political scientists mainly focus on analyzing things that have happened in the past.

Question 3130 Challenging Nursing Care Issue

Question: Select a challenging nursing care issue (examples include falls, medication errors, pressure ulcers, and other clinical issues that can be improved by evidence in nursing). Do not select a medical issue (disease, medical treatment). Do not select a workforce issue (staffing, call-offs, nurse to patient ratios). Explain the following for the selected clinical issue.

State the issue.
Explain the process you would use to search CINAHL for evidence. Include your search terms.
Consider how the situation directly affects you as a nurse and will influence your nursing practice in the future.

Requirements: Use text book and any other scholarly source

Question 3131 Evidence-Based Treatment Programming

In a research study published in 1974 commonly referred to as the “Nothing Works” report, Robert Martinson and his colleagues were presumed to have concluded that attempts at rehabilitation will always be unsuccessful. Current research on correctional programming indicates the opposite: Evidence-based approaches are successful in reducing recidivism.

For this Discussion, review the Learning Resources and identify the elements of a successful correctional rehabilitation program based on the corrections research.

Provide a description of an effective evidence-based offender treatment or reentry program. Identify a minimum of three evidence-based elements of this program. Explain which element you think is most important and why.

Question 3132 Federalist papers

Assignment: Application: Literature on Democratic Governance

In this week’s Discussion, you analyzed founding documents of American democracy to determine how democratic concepts and principles are manifested in those early writings, including the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution. For this Assignment, you are asked to shift your thoughts to the Federalist Papers. The Federalist Papers are a series of 85 essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay supporting the ratification of the Constitution. Although often overlooked in mainstream education in favor of The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution, The Federalist papers are the best description of the founders’ intent for governance of their new nation. The proposed Constitution was sent to the states for ratification in September 1787. Articles soon appeared and became known as the “Anti-Federalist Papers” which became critical to the new Constitution. In response, Hamilton decided to defend ratification of the new Constitution and began an extensive explanation.

To prepare for this Assignment:

Review the articles “Federalist Paper No. 10,” “Federalist Paper No. 51,” and “Federalist Paper No. 78.”
Peruse the Walden Library, academic databases, and the Internet for current literature on The Federalist Papers, particularly 10, 51, and 78.
Reflect on of the significance of the three selected Federalist Papers (10, 51, and 78) for democratic governance today.
Think about how each of the three selected Federalist Papers could be applied to a current situation today.

The Assignment (2 pages):

Briefly describe what The Federalist Papers are, why they were written, who the authors were, and why the papers are important today.
Describe Federalist Papers 10, 51, and 78. Explain how each can be applied to governance today.
Explain which of the three selected Federalist Papers you believe has had the most significant impact on governance in America and explain why.
If you live outside the United States, explain which of the three selected Federalist Papers most closely resembles a principle of government in your country and explain why.

Question 3133 Statesmanship to a Public Administration

In these papers, you will apply your model of statesmanship to a particular Public Administration context.

In this case study, you will apply the Statesmanship model you discussed in Module 1 to a real, specific public administration context. What type of interpersonal skills are needed to effectively administer statesmanship in that context? Remember to discuss the importance of emotional intelligence and covenant in your case study.

General Guidelines:

Case Study scenarios must be taken from documented (published) public administration contexts; no hypotheticals are allowed. Students can focus on one particular public administration organization or may refer to a particular situation (well-documented by the research) that many public administrators face.

Integrate Biblical principles in your case study discussion.

All ideas shared by the student must be supported with sound reason and citations from the required readings, presentations, and additional research.
The paper should be 4-5 pages of content in length (not counting the title page or references), double-spaced, and in APA format.

All required readings and presentations from the assigned module must be cited.

3-5 additional sources must be used. This need not be scholarly so long as they are provide relevant political and economic analysis of your chosen nation. Wikipedia may not be used (though certainly the student is welcome to review its content), and informal blogs are not appropriate.

Taylor: pg. 111-175; (skim) pg. 71-109.

Based on the relevant lectures and assigned reading for Week 12, take a clear position on your chosen question. No “fence-sitting.” Provide as much support for your position and claims as possible. This also means explaining how the evidence you present supports your claim. Evidence/support rarely, if ever, “speaks for itself.” Make sure that all references to the assigned reading include page numbers [e.g., (Losurdo, pg. 15).] and all references to the lecture are cited by the week of the lecture and the title of the slide being referenced [e.g., (Lecture, Week 1, “What is Liberalism?”).]. Citations should be placed at the end of the relevant sentence(s), prior to the final punctuation. If you include mentions of current events, news stories, or historical events, please provide proper citations for those as well. Please use in-text/parenthetical citations, not footnotes or endnotes, for all citations. Remember, you need to include citations for all references to words AND ideas that are not your own, regardless of whether you are quoting directly or not. Please email me if you have a specific question about the reference/citation requirements. Any post that does not include any properly cited references will not receive credit. Posts that have some properly cited references but are missing other citations where they are necessary, will receive partial credit.

Grammar and spelling do not technically “count,” but excessive errors and/or errors that interfere with my ability to figure out what you are saying will negatively impact your grade. Reading over your post out loud to yourself once before submitting it is a simple and easy way to catch most major mistakes.

There is no specific right or wrong answer, only well-argued and well-supported responses or poorly argued and poorly supported responses. There is no specific word count requirement. Generally speaking, discussion posts should be between 400 and 500 words, but this is only a loose guideline. No credit will be gained or lost by meeting (or failing to meet) this word count guideline. Posts will be evaluated on substance alone (i.e., answering the question given or fully explaining your own take, clear argumentation, support, effort, and creativity).

Question 3136 Totalitarian Government Understanding Political Ideas, Issues & Institutions

Question 3137 Riley V. California Cloud Computing Court Case Brief

In both your textbook and supplemental materials you have learned about how cases make it to the Supreme Court. In this discussion you will have a chance to choose a recent (within the past 5 years) Supreme Court case, summarize it, think more deeply about its possible impact on politics/your own life and discuss this impact with others. Not all of these cases have been decided yet, so you may also need to find out the status of the case.

Getting Started

Step 1: Choose Your Case

Choose a case that has either been decided or will be decided this term:

You can go to OYEZ.ORG 2013 (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.cases for a list of current cases. If you decide to research some of the cases that have gotten a lot of press recently, you are welcome to choose one of these to research:

Town of Greece v. Galloway
Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby
Fernandez v. California
Riley v. California
McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission

Step 2: Research Your Case

Find out the following information about your case:

Has a decision been made in your case? If yes, what was that decision? How many Justices voted for/against the decision? (The page for the case you are researching on OYEZ.ORG (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.will have this information – at the bottom of the page you can also see who voted for/against this as well as sort by ideology).
What is the issue being discussed? Summarize the main points.
What are the two sides of argument? Summarize those.
Why do you think this issue this issue is important? What impact could this have?
Do you think ideology impacted this case? If so, how?

Some places to go to research more about your issue:

Oyez.org (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
SCOTUS Blog (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.(the Supreme Court Blog – the search feature will pull up information about your case)
PCC Shatford Library Databases. Try Opposing Viewpoints in Context or National Newspapers Core. If accessing off campus, you will need to enter your LancerPoint ID and password.

Step: 3 Create Your Summary + Thought Questions

Combine the information you have found and create a 300-400 word summary and analysis of this issue for your initial post in your own words based on your research.

Post your summary of your article and the websites you got your information from. Make certain to include a citation.
Create 1 or 2 thought questions about the article. These should be questions that help your classmates’ think more deeply about the topic and their own perspective. Such as:
1. If decision is made …. , what do you think would happen?
2. How should the public respond to…?
3. Why do you think…?
4. How do you feel about…?

Question 3138 Methods Used In Comparative Administration

Compare and contrast the methods that are utilized in these three articles. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of these varying methods. What major differences exist in the methods used in comparative administration compared to other areas of public administration you are familiar with? Finally, which (if any) of these methods might you consider using in your own research project on comparative administration?

Question 3139 Terrorism Must be Dealt With as a Military Threat to American Security

Terrorism must be dealt with as a military threat to American security, not as a simple law

enforcement issue. Terrorists are hardened individuals who cannot be reasoned with or

rehabilitated. It is the single greatest threat to the lives of Americans. Disagree or agree.

Papers should be about 5 double spaced pages, not including citations. You will be graded on the following aspects of your paper:

1) Presenting your case persuasively through reference to the academic scholarship you have

reviewed. The items on your annotated bibliography will not necessarily be enough. These

should be based as much as possible on facts rather than mere opinion. For instance it is not

enough to just assert that free trade is bad for American workers or that Kim Jong-Un is crazy

and cannot be trusted. We need some citations to back that up and those citations must be

academic in nature, not themselves just unsubstantiated assertions.

2) Consideration of alternative viewpoints and explanation of why you feel them lacking. These can

be alternative points of view that you have read or those you might logically imagine given the

pieces you have read or your own brainstorming.

3) Organization and grammatical writing.

4) Depth of research and proper citation, using MLA style. Minimum of 15 references.

WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT DO

Don’t make claims without evidence. If you terrorism is not a big issue, use scholarly work to support your argument.
An essay full of opinion without any supporting data is not a good essay.
Avoid attacks to the person by finding holes in their logic or showing that empirical evidence does not support their position
Do not build strawman arguments: a strawman argument is an exaggeration or misrepresentation of an opposing view.
Dont turn in essay full of grammatical errors
Dont write an incoherent paper. MAKE IT CLEAR. Make it logical and in order
1. You have to make it make sense
Don’t rely on just economic journals. 2-3 are okay but you should use mostly political science literature

Question 2851 Future without Global Warming

It is a three-part essay. In the first part, you will need to give a brief summary of 3 of the major environmental paradigms covered in the class and make an argument for the one(s) that you consider most convincing (that is, able to address the environmental/climate crisis). The major paradigms were covered in lecture. They include conquest mentalities, preservation and conservation, modern mainstream environmentalism, environmental justice, and the two principal meanings of sustainability (Bruntland’s sustainable development vision and free-market/corporate sustainability). Note: it might behoove you to conclude that more than one is very convincing, but instead of defending them separately, use your critical thinking skills to bring them together to form your own environmental ethics. Be sure that if you synthesize two or more paradigms that your new formulation does not have contradictions. For instance, in an extreme case, the conquest paradigm does not square very well with modern environmentalism for reasons that should be evident from lecture and readings.

Question 2858 HR Management Hundred Years’ Shifts In Type Of Jobs And Implications

Workplace Shifts

Society has evolved over the last century causing organizations to change with the times.

This evolution has, in turn, required workers to “re-tool” to be a productive and indispensable member of the workforce.

Using this lead-in as the context, describe the workforce shifts in types of jobs during the past hundred years. Also, answer the over-arching question, “What implications have these workforce shifts created for today’s HR manager?”

The requirements below must be met for your paper to be accepted and graded:

Write between 750 – 1,250 words (approximately 3 – 5 pages) using Microsoft Word in APA style, see example below.
Use font size 12 and 1” margins.
Include cover page and reference page.
At least 80% of your paper must be original content/writing.
No more than 20% of your content/information may come from references.
Use at least three references from outside the course material, one reference must be from EBSCOhost. Text book, lectures, and other materials in the course may be used, but are not counted toward the three reference requirement.
Cite all reference material (data, dates, graphs, quotes, paraphrased words, values, etc.) in the paper and list on a reference page in APA style.

References must come from sources such as, scholarly journals found in EBSCOhost, CNN, online newspapers such as, The Wall Street Journal, government websites, etc. Sources such as, Wikis, Yahoo Answers, eHow, blogs, etc. are not acceptable for academic writing.

Question 2859 C++ Programming Internet Provider Anonymous Data Project

Imagine a fictitious Internet provider that keeps the following “anonymized” data about each of their customers and the services they purchase. The data is anonymous, as many modern data sets are, to allow the data to be processed with fewer privacy concerns. Customer ID takes the format one letter A-Z followed by 5 numbers 0-9. For example, A123, B777, C817 are all valid Customer IDs.

StreamingMovies, StreamingTV and MultipleLines are boolean values represented by 0 (false) or 1 (true). For example, if the customer record has ‘1’ for a StreamingMovies value, it means the customer subscribes to the StreamingMovies service.

MonthlyCharges is a floating point value, representing the customer’s monthly bill.

Write a C++ console program that prompts a user to enter attributes for three customers, and outputs the collected data in a formatted table.

Since the code block to prompt the user for attributes and cin and store their values is to be used three times instead of just one, write a generic value-returning function to do all that and return a ‘Customer’ data structure (struct). Call it three times from main — once for each customer.

You may write a void function to output the result for a Customer struct, passed as a parameter to the function. Or do so in a code block in main — your choice.

Here are other requirements:

Define a ‘struct Customer’ data type with the fields and types from the above table.
In the output, include table column headings, correctly-spaced.
The total of all column widths and the spaces separating them should not exceed 80 spaces.
You can use either cin >> for the attributes or getline().
Serialize down to customers.txt as the last thing that your program does. If you do this right, the file should have 15 lines — 5 for each of the 3 objects.

We will not fully implement serialization in this assignment. But to prepare for it in later assignments, you’ll include “serializing down” int his one. It will have no effect on the program, because you won’t be serializing up. But it’s done this way here to get you used to making sure that serializing down works right before attempting add serializing up in all future work.

Question 2860 Jesus Death And Resurrection Application Of The Paschal Mystery

Question 2861 Shifting Focus On Hold-out In SEP Licensing

Licensure/Registration

When thinking about what it means to be licensed or registered, we have to consider that regulation occurs when licensure and re-licensure is sought. The regulating body can be governmental (local, state, or federal) as well as an outside agency. As you explored this week, there are multiple ways in which one can become licensed or registered, and the profession selected will dictate how this process occurs.

How do you feel about the process of licensure or registration? Do you think additional professions should be included or that there are enough controls? You might want to view this website for information on Florida’s licensed professions: http://www.doh.state.fl.us/mqa/med-boards.html. This list is not all-inclusive, but it will give you a general idea of regulated professions in the State of Florida.

Question 2877 Berkeley University Desert Biome

USE THIS INFORMATION TO ANSWER QUESTIONS:

Deserts cover about 30% of the land. Desert climates are characterized by the fact that water is unavailable for living things. Some deserts are hot, with very little rainfall. Some deserts are not hot. These “cold deserts” receive some of their rain at a time when it is too cold for plants to use it. Organisms living in deserts have adapted to the harsh conditions. Plants such as cacti retain moisture in their stem tissues and have eliminated leaves to reduce water loss. Animals living in the desert, such as jack rabbits and kangaroo rats, have adaptations for water conservation including behavior, such as feeding at night, and physiology, such as very efficient kidneys.

Learn more: http://kidcyber.com.au/?s=desert+biomes

Deserts occur where rainfall is less than 50 cm/year. Although most deserts, such as the Sahara of North Africa and the deserts of the southwestern U.S., Mexico, and Australia, occur at low latitudes, another kind of desert, cold deserts, occur in the basin and range area of Utah and Nevada and in parts of western Asia. Most deserts have a considerable amount of specialized vegetation, as well as specialized vertebrate and invertebrate animals. Soils often have abundant nutrients because they need only water to become very productive and have little or no organic matter. Disturbances are common in the form of occasional fires or cold weather, and sudden, infrequent, but intense rains that cause flooding.

There are relatively few large mammals in deserts because most are not capable of storing sufficient water and withstanding the heat. Deserts often provide little shelter from the sun for large animals. The dominant animals of warm deserts are nonmammalian vertebrates, such as reptiles. Mammals are usually small, like the kangaroo mice of North American deserts.

There are four major types of desert biomes: hot and dry , semiarid, coastal, cold.

Hot and dry desert
The four major North American deserts of this type are the Chihuahuan, Sonoran, Mojave and Great Basin. Others outside the U.S. include the Southern Asian realm, Neotropical (South and Central America), Ethiopian (Africa) and Australian. The seasons are generally warm throughout the year and very hot in the summer. The winters usually bring little rainfall.

Temperatures exhibit daily extremes because the atmosphere contains little humidity to block the Sun’s rays. Desert surfaces receive a little more than twice the solar radiation received by humid regions and lose almost twice as much heat at night. Many mean annual temperatures range from 20-25 0 C. The extreme maximum ranges from 43.5-49 0 C. Minimum temperatures sometimes drop to -18 0 C.

Rainfall is usually very low and/or concentrated in short bursts between long rainless periods. Evaporation rates regularly exceed rainfall rates. Sometimes rain starts falling and evaporates before reaching the ground. Rainfall is lowest on the Atacama Desert of Chile, where it averages less than 1.5 cm. Some years are even rainless. Inland Sahara also receives less than 1.5 cm a year. Rainfall in American deserts is higher by almost 28 cm a year.

Soils are course-textured, shallow, rocky or gravely with good drainage and have no subsurface water. They are coarse because there is less chemical weathering. The finer dust and sand particles are blown elsewhere, leaving heavier pieces behind.

Canopy in most deserts is very rare. Plants are mainly ground-hugging shrubs and short woody trees. Leaves are “replete” (fully supported with nutrients) with water-conserving characteristics. They tend to be small, thick and covered with a thick cuticle (outer layer). In the cacti, the leaves are much-reduced (to spines) and photosynthetic activity is restricted to the stems. Some plants open their stomata (microscopic openings in the epidermis of leaves that allow for gas exchange) only at night when evaporation rates are lowest. These plants include: yuccas, ocotillo, turpentine bush, prickly pears, false mesquite, sotol, ephedras, agaves and brittlebush.

The animals include small nocturnal (active at night) carnivores. The dominant animals are burrowers and kangaroo rats. There are also insects, arachnids, reptiles and birds. The animals stay inactive in protected hideaways during the hot day and come out to forage at dusk, dawn or at night, when the desert is cooler.

Semiarid desert
The major deserts of this type include the sagebrush of Utah, Montana and Great Basin. They also include the Nearctic realm (North America, Newfoundland, Greenland, Russia, Europe and northern Asia).

The summers are moderately long and dry, and like hot deserts, the winters normally bring low concentrations of rainfall. Summer temperatures usually average between 21-27 0 C. It normally does not go above 38 0 C and evening temperatures are cool, at around 10 0 C. Cool nights help both plants and animals by reducing moisture loss from transpiration, sweating and breathing. Furthermore, condensation of dew caused by night cooling may equal or exceed the rainfall received by some deserts. As in the hot desert, rainfall is often very low and/or concentrated. The average rainfall ranges from 2-4 cm annually.

The soil can range from sandy and fine-textured to loose rock fragments, gravel or sand. It has a fairly low salt concentration, compared to deserts which receive a lot of rain (acquiring higher salt concentrations as a result). In areas such as mountain slopes, the soil is shallow, rocky or gravely with good drainage. In the upper bajada (lower slopes) they are coarse-textured, rocky, well-drained and partly “laid by rock bench.” In the lower bajada (bottom land) the soil is sandy and fine-textured, often with “caliche hardpan.” In each case there is no subsurface water.

The spiny nature of many plants in semiarid deserts provides protection in a hazardous environment. The large numbers of spines shade the surface enough to significantly reduce transpiration. The same may be true of the hairs on the woolly desert plants. Many plants have silvery or glossy leaves, allowing them to reflect more radiant energy. These plants often have an unfavorable odor or taste. Semiarid plants include: Creosote bush, bur sage (Franseria dumosa or F. deltoidea), white thorn, cat claw, mesquite, brittle bushes (Encelia farinosa), lyciums, and jujube.

During the day, insects move around twigs to stay on the shady side; jack rabbits follow the moving shadow of a cactus or shrub. Naturally, many animals find protection in underground burrows where they are insulated from both heat and aridity. These animals include mammals such as the kangaroo rats, rabbits, and skunks; insects like grasshoppers and ants; reptiles are represented by lizards and snakes; and birds such as burrowing owls and the California thrasher.

Coastal desert
These deserts occur in moderately cool to warm areas such as the Nearctic and Neotropical realm. A good example is the Atacama of Chile.

The cool winters of coastal deserts are followed by moderately long, warm summers. The average summer temperature ranges from 13-24 0 C; winter temperatures are 5 0 C or below. The maximum annual temperature is about 35 0 C and the minimum is about -4 0 C. In Chile, the temperature ranges from -2 to 5 0 C in July and 21-25 0 C in January.

The average rainfall measures 8-13 cm in many areas. The maximum annual precipitation over a long period of years has been 37 cm with a minimum of 5 cm.

The soil is fine-textured with a moderate salt content. It is fairly porous with good drainage. Some plants have extensive root systems close to the surface where they can take advantage of any rain showers. All of the plants with thick and fleshy leaves or stems can take in large quantities of water when it is available and store it for future use. In some plants, the surfaces are corrugated with longitudinal ridges and grooves. When water is available, the stem swells so that the grooves are shallow and the ridges far apart. As the water is used, the stem shrinks so that the grooves are deep and ridges close together. The plants living in this type of desert include the salt bush, buckwheat bush, black bush, rice grass, little leaf horsebrush, black sage, and chrysothamnus.

Some animals have specialized adaptations for dealing with the desert heat and lack of water. Some toads seal themselves in burrows with gelatinous secretions and remain inactive for eight or nine months until a heavy rain occurs. Amphibians that pass through larval stages have accelerated life cycles, which improves their chances of reaching maturity before the waters evaporate. Some insects lay eggs that remain dormant until the environmental conditions are suitable for hatching. The fairy shrimps also lay dormant eggs. Other animals include: insects, mammals (coyote and badger), amphibians (toads), birds (great horned owl, golden eagle and the bald eagle), and reptiles (lizards and snakes).

Cold desert
These deserts are characterized by cold winters with snowfall and high overall rainfall throughout the winter and occasionally over the summer. They occur in the Antarctic, Greenland and the Nearctic realm. They have short, moist, and moderately warm summers with fairly long, cold winters. The mean winter temperature is between -2 to 4 0 C and the mean summer temperature is between 21-26 0 C.
The winters receive quite a bit of snow. The mean annual precipitation ranges from 15-26 cm. Annual precipitation has reached a maximum of 46 cm and a minimum of 9 cm. The heaviest rainfall of the spring is usually in April or May. In some areas, rainfall can be heavy in autumn. The soil is heavy, silty, and salty. It contains alluvial fans where soil is relatively porous and drainage is good so that most of the salt has been leached out.

The plants are widely scattered. In areas of shadscale, about 10 percent of the ground is covered, but in some areas of sagebush it approaches 85 percent. Plant heights vary between 15 cm and 122 cm. The main plants are deciduous, most having spiny leaves. Widely distributed animals are jack rabbits, kangaroo rats, kangaroo mice, pocket mice, grasshopper mice, and antelope ground squirrels. In areas like Utah, population density of these animals can range from 14-41 individuals per hectare. All except the jack rabbits are burrowers. The burrowing habit also applies to carnivores like the badger, kit fox, and coyote. Several lizards do some burrowing and moving of soil. Deer are found only in the winter.

Question 2878 Latent Heat of Water

In this course, we will engage in weekly graded discussions that “make it real”, by applying the weather concepts we are learning about to both everyday life and to aviation.

After completing the readings and concept-related activities in the above sections of the module, you will be prepared to engage in this discussion.

Initial Post Instructions and Requirements:

Choose one of these discussion topics.
Formulate an organized, clearly worded, and succinct initial post that substantively covers all discussion points stated for your chosen topic. Because your initial post will be scored on the degree to which you meet these standards, there is no set minimum word requirement. However, there is a set maximum word requirement – confine your initial post to 500 words. Remember that we are all reading each other’s posts, and one that is succinctly written is more likely to be read and responded to, thus furthering our discussion on that topic.
Include at least one graphic, video, or image that visually adds to some aspect of your post – as they say, pictures are worth 1000 words!
Post your initial post by the 4th day of the module week. You will not be able to see any posts until you post your initial post.

Question 2879 Climate change Solutions

My issue is about Climate change Solutions. and the stakeholder that I used in the previous part is “United Nations Security Council”.

Description

Begin by selecting a non-engaged stakeholder who is uninvolved, unconcerned, uninterested, or not invested in the issue you have been researching or in taking action on that issue. In constructing your multimodal argument with this non-engaged stakeholder as your audience, start thinking about how you will educate, engage, and empower this non-engaged stakeholder to agree with your call to action. You will draw on the credible sources of the research you conducted in the past two projects. Respond to the following guiding questions with this research handy and in mind. Note: these questions map onto your course rubric to guide your essay development.

Please copy and paste the questions below or download them into a Word document and answer each question fully. To answer each question fully, you will need to provide at least three complete sentences per question and have answered the entirety of the question(s). Upload your list of answers as a worksheet.

Questions

Why is the issue that you have been researching important and timely? What kind of problem does this issue create? Name the issue, and drawing from your previous research, provide some context as to its background, and briefly note what you already know about this issue.
What persons or organizations would be (or are currently) interested in this issue? Why? Who would not be interested in this issue. Why not?
What do you know about the non-engaged stakeholder(s)? If you have a tangible person or group of people in mind, provide information and describe their non-engagement as best as you can. If you have a more generic sense of a non-engaged stakeholder, how would you define what characterizes this person or group of people who will be the audience that you persuade?
What kinds of questions do you anticipate your audience asking?
Your multimodal argument has a combination of intended purposes: to educate, engage, and empower. What kind of information do you need to provide to educate the non-engaged stakeholder? Give at least 3 examples. Why do you need this information?
Appealing to an audience’s sense of reason and logic with facts, examples, statistics, models is an effective way to educate your audience, but what do you think is the most convincing evidence you could provide that might persuade the non-engaged stakeholder that your argument has merit? Name at least 3 points.
What do you see as possible points of resistance in convincing your audience of the value in engaging in your issue? How will you overcome and refute this resistance without offending your audience?
What frame of mind do you want to put your audience in to appeal to their sense of emotion? How might you create an emotional response to your plea to have your audience take on your cause?
Why should your audience believe in you? What ethos do you bring to the argument? How might you build on the credibility, reputation, or trustworthiness of others who make similar arguments? Think about how your audience could identify with your appeals to ethos. Draw from your research for some examples.
What kind of action do you think would advance your cause or present a reasonable solution to the problem your issue creates? What are the steps to taking this action? How will you incentivize your audience to agree with this action? What obstacles still stand in your way, and what can you do to remove them?
What tone do you think would be most effective in convincing your non-engaged stakeholder to come around to your way of thinking? Why do you think this tone will be effective, and how will you create this tone?
Your project 3 assignment requires 3 new sources you have not previously used, based on your preliminary responses to these questions, in what direction should your expanded research take you? Specifically, in what areas do you need more evidence to deliver an effective multimodal argument?

Question 2880 Japanese Beetles Invasive Species Management Plan

Project One:

Invasive Species

“The transplantation of species by humans has occurred throughout history to the point where most people are unable to distinguish between the native and exotic species living in their lands” (Wright, 2011).

An invasive species (can be a plant or animal) is a species that is introduced to an area, whether accidentally or on purpose, that can severely disrupt native species in a given ecosystem. When allowed to proliferate, they can kill off indigenous plant or animal life, causing whole natural habitats to change. Project One will explore invasive species and the consequences of their introduction and presence in non-native ecosystems.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose an invasive species (plant or animal) to research. Describe the invasive species in detail. Provide background on the species and its native environment. Describe the non-native ecosystem in which the invasive species is found.

Some questions to think about: Where did the species originate? What are the species’ defining characteristics? Does it have any natural predators? Where has the invasive species spread? How was it introduced to the non-native environment? What are the consequences/rewards of the invasive species inhabiting the new environment? What kind of impacts has the invasive species had on the non-native ecosystem? What effects has it had on other wildlife and the biodiversity of the ecosystem? Humans? The economy?

Question 2881 Fossil Fuels Report

Integrating and making sense of interdisciplinary information from various sources is a major objective of this course. Synthesis sessions are designed to allow interaction with your peers in a small group setting to discuss the implications and linkages of each topic in more detail.

Small discussion groups of 4 – 5 students will be formed for each synthesis session. Prior to each session, a handout of Synthesis Session discussion questions (see above) will be made available electronically. In small-group format, each group member will be responsible for answering one of the questions in detail and leading discussion within the group on this topic, integrating the material presented from all sources within the thematic framework of the course. Each group member will be allotted about 30 minutes for discussion and presentation within the first 2.5 hours of class. You will be asked to evaluate your peers on their participation and performance in the small-group discussion sessions.

A properly formatted written synthesis report must be submitted electronically on Sakai to all your peers in the course by midnight two days before each synthesis session. Each synthesis report will consist of a concise (maximum 1500 words) response to the question for which you are responsible.

Substantiate your response and conclusions with properly formatted, academically credible references from outside sources and from course readings. Aim for a minimum of 10 references, at least half of which should be from peer-reviewed academic journals or similar credible academic sources.

Prior to the synthesis session, prepare four brief questions for your peers, one for each of the other topics that you do not report on yourself. These questions do not have to be submitted with your synthesis report. You will prepare them to ensure that there will be plenty of relevant discussion in your group during the question periods, and to evaluate the way in which your peers respond.

Question 2887 Laborer Killed in Fall Through Roof

Please don’t forget to review the rubric for discussion board expectations (cite from at least one source, ask a question, etc.)

Laborer Killed in Fall Through Roof
A 40-year-old laborer/helper died when he fell through an opening in a warehouse roof. He fell approximately 27 feet to the floor below.
The employer was demolishing the roof of the warehouse portion of a commercial building. Work was done at night because the coal tar on the roof would release hazardous gases if disturbed in the heat of the day. The site had adequate halogen lighting. None of the workers on the job were using fall protection.
After the roofing material was removed, 4×8 foot sheets of plywood were exposed. Any damaged sheets needed to be replaced. The helper’s job was to follow the workers who were replacing the plywood, and to pick up the damaged sheets of plywood they had removed. He disposed of them in a chute.
On this evening, one worker had removed a sheet of damaged plywood, but had run out of nails to attach the replacement plywood. He walked away to get more nails. The opening where the damaged plywood had been was left unguarded. The crew was not informed that it was temporarily unguarded. The opening was covered by silver-colored insulation inside the roof.
The helper came along, picked up the sheet of damaged plywood, and headed for the chute. He stepped into the opening, ripped through the insulation, and fell. (April 20, 1998)

What should have been done to prevent this accident? Please be sure to cite the OSHA standards.

Question 2888 Fall Protection PFAS OSHA Standard

Please answer the following questions in complete sentences using correct and professional verbiage. Please restate the question in your answer such that I am able to understand what question was asked, based on your answer.

Question 2889 Position Statement Letter New Technologies To Solve Climate Change Issue

In a democratic society, our elected representatives have a duty to listen to their constituents’ opinions. One of the most effective ways to make your opinion heard is to write a letter. A personal letter carries the most weight with any

recipient than signing a petition.

Students in this class have a powerful voice in the issue of climate change. This is due, in part, to the following reasons:

After completing the previous lesson on climate change science you know more about the issue than most people.

Your knowledge of the issue will allow you to write a well-informed and persuasive letter.
You are young, and climate mitigation decisions being made right now will affect the rest of your life.
You are able to vote. Decision makers know youth are developing a strong voice and are becoming involved in civic life more than the generations before them.

in the government. For example:

The President sets the general course.
The State Department and its Special Envoy for Climate Change take a leadership role in the negotiations.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee reviews any potential treaties.
Congress must ratify any treaties before they become law.

The following tips will help you write a powerful letter to a decision maker:

Keep it short. Limit your letter to one page and one issue.
Identify yourself and the issue. In the first paragraph of your letter state who you are and what issue you are writing about.
Focus on your main points. Choose the three strongest points to support your argument and develop them clearly. Too much information can distract from your position.
Make it personal. Tell your decision maker why the issue matters to you and how it affects you, your family, and your community. Make a connection to the elected official. Did you vote for him or her? Did you contribute to the campaign?
Ask for a reply. Include your name and address. Trust your voice. Be polite and take a firm position in your letter. Be confident in your understanding of the issue and remember that the official may know less than you. Thank elected officials when they make.

Question 2890 The Island President Environmental Film

The activity consists of selecting a non-fiction environmental documentary video to view. Fictional films cannot be used for this assignment. The video must be at least 90 minutes in length. After watching the video, prepare an essay of at least 1000 words.

To assist you in the preparation of your essay, I have some topics below for you to consider while you watch the video.

What was the film-maker’s purpose in producing this documentary? Was there a viewpoint that was evident in the video? How well did the film-maker deliver the message?
Describe any cinematic techniques used in presenting particular scenes, images, or sounds that lead the viewer to agree with the position advocated by the film. Were there appeals to reason or emotion, or both? Give examples of the use of these techniques. Were they effective in conveying the film-maker’s message?
Did the video change your mind about any aspect of the subject that it presents? What information, argument or persuasive technique caused you to change your mind? Give examples to support your opinion.
Think of 1-2 introductory sentences for your review based on your experience of the film. If you feel strongly that the reader of the review should/should not see the film, explain why. You want to catch the interest of the reader.
Would you recommend this video to someone else? Why or why not? Build this recommendation into a closing paragraph for your review.

Question 2891 Unique Posture Assessment Tool

The instructions for the ergonomics field exercise are as follows:

Purpose- to become familiar with an ergonomic assessment tool through hand-on practice.

Tool – OWAS posture assessment tool

Assignment – identify and capture an image of 10 unique postures, with the goal of having an even distribution of action categories (1-4).

– images can be a screenshot from the web, but please include a URL

You will determine the individual scores (back, arms, legs, and use of force) for each of the 10 unique postures, as well as the composite score (i.e., the action category).

Based on the action category for each posture, describe in 2-3 sentences what you would advise the worker to do different and/or what corrective solution you would employ to limit the risk of long term health effects.

Create the document in word or powerpoint and then save the final version as a PDF.

Question 2892 Delivery Center Research Summery

Research process & Research Summery Text: Summaries of your topic of interest in

written text discussing your research studies and explaining how it has supported the

development of your thesis 500-1000 words. (use images, quotes ect.)

the topic is: This thesis aims to design a centralized automatized delivery center that could be placed in every major metropolis. It is important to create such a structure because there is an increasing demand for online purchases that would require an enormous amount of delivery services.

The delivery center in this thesis is based on three types of delivery methods. First of all, airborne drones would deliver small and light items. Then, underground carriers can transport large items, whereas food deliveries would be handled by driverless vehicles.This design combines vertical storage and automated systems together. It aims reduce the environmental footprint of delivery services and at the same time, increase the efficiency of receiving, sorting and storing a variety of goods.

it is about the building, not the drones, focus on delivery centre and automatized!!!! (about the function or type of building, not how to use drones to delievry )

the research need to be very deep, From different angles, it must be comprehensive, not some common sense.

You need to analyze b y research some books, articles, and analysis charts.

the research is about the topic, not to explian the topic in different words.

Question 2894 Manufacturing Employee’s Actual Exposure to Iron Oxide

The theme or setting for each project

You are employed by Be Safe Consulting, Inc. (BSCI), as an entry level safety consultant. You report directly to Bob Sanders, the supervising Certified Safety Professional (CSP). For the last two months you have been assigned to conduct a comprehensive safety evaluation for Acme Manufacturing Co. Based on the observations, calculations, and recommendations in Unit II through Unit VIII prepare a Comprehensive Report to Bob Sanders, who will, in turn, use this information to prepare a final report to Acme Manufacturing Co. Board of Directors. While the Board of Directors may be looking for detailed business impacts, Bob Sanders is looking for a detail of potential employee hazard exposures and your recommendation rationale (calculations, observations, and/or regulation).

Ventilation Report

You are employed by Be Safe Consulting, Inc. (BSCI) as an entry level safety consultant. You report directly to Bob Sanders, the supervising Certified Safety Professional (CSP). BSCI has been contracted by Acme Manufacturing Co. to conduct a study to determine employee exposures to various particulates and gases. In addition, your company has been contracted to determine if the current ventilation systems that are in place are adequate to protect employees from an over exposure to these chemicals. After conducting a field assessment, prepare a written report that Bob Sanders can utilize to prepare a final comprehensive report for the Board of Directors. During your field investigation, you find the following field observations:

Welding Room

The company has six welding booths, or areas that are partitioned only for the use of welding curtains. The booth is open to mixing in the front and top. The company is worried about the welder’s exposure to iron oxide (PEL 10 mg/m³). For a valid sample, you must have a minimum of six hours of sampling (The remaining two hours of the work day is considered to be equal to or less than the sampled exposure. As a result of your air sampling over an eight-hour time period (i.e., the work schedule), you receive the following analytical report:

Question 2895 Acme Employee’s Actual Exposure

Radiation Safety Report

The executives at Acme Manufacturing Co. were impressed by your first report, and they have asked you and BSCI to return for more work. BSCI has been contracted by Acme Manufacturing Co. to conduct a study to determine employee exposures to radiation. In addition, your company has been contracted to determine the effectiveness of engineering controls, including shielding. After conducting a field assessment, prepare a written report for Bob Sanders (CSP) to present to the Board of Directors. During your field investigation, you find the following field observations:

Test Equipment and Repair Facility

The company has an on-site test equipment and repair facility. Much of the test equipment contains a radiation source. Normal practice inside the facility is to limit the time of exposure of employees working on this equipment as a method of control. However, the company is looking at the possibility of installing lead shields or increasing the distance from the source, thus increasing employee time working on equipment. Based on the following information determine the employee’s exposure:

Movie: Before the Flood

Question:

Nearly 70% of Americans believe that climate change is taking place throughout the world. While most Americans believe that climate change depends on making deep structural changes to the world’s economies — such as ending fossil fuel extraction — people can accelerate the process in their own lives. Assess the New Green Deal and the balance between the role that average people can play and the macro-structural trends that impact climate change. Despite scientific evidence, not everyone believes in climate change. Why is that the case?

An animal is being poached for its horn which is believed in some cultures to cure many diseases, it is not critically endangered.
The demand for farming is increasing, which is destroying native forests and affecting their biodiversity.
An animal is starting to become isolated because it is afraid to cross roads created by deforestation.
Local birds typically migrate over the winter, but people are feeding them and thermal pollution at a local stream is keeping the water warmer, so the birds are not migrating, resulting in water pollution.
A drought has been going on for a period of time; the water needed for homes, businesses, and farms has decreased lake and river levels impacting the amount available for local flora and fauna.
Species are being found dead on local beaches due to plastic.

Question 2922 Improving the Health of American People

Question Description

After reading the attached article please answer the following questions. and reply to the two classmates.

Describe the 2 reasons Schroeder gives to explain why the US ranks poorly on many health measures in spite of spending more money than other countries on health care. What other single factor would you suggest that might also contribute to this paradox?
In what ways is the problem of obesity in America like the now decreasing problem of tobacco use? In what ways is it different?
The pie chart illustrating the 5 proportional categories contributing to premature death in the US are based on total US population mortality. How might these percentages change if the chart were to be redrawn to reflect populations living in poverty in inner cities? People living in poverty in rural areas? Suggest new percentages for each and explain why you think as you do.
Social determinants of health are relatively new considerations as predictors of premature death, yet a growing body of research indicates their contribution is strong. Name a social determinant and describe a possible role for the Church in ameliorating it.

Question 2923 Conflict Resolution Case Analysis

CN308:

nt Objectives:

Define and apply key concepts and theories important in the related chapter
Understand and explain ways these concepts and theories may be applied in your case
Understand and explain specific concepts and theories as they are illustrated by your case
Use your case analysis as the basis for “talking points” for use in group discussion of the chapter

Why Cases?

Cases teach us by asking questions rather than delivering answers.

They create different kinds of relationships in the classroom than lecturing can (we become a task-focused group). A case study asks everyone to be present, take risks, participate, critique / defend / challenge ideas. The process helps to foster critical thinking and interaction skills. Many cases offer dilemmas without “right” answers. In fact, no amount of additional information will take you to a “right” answer. Y et real-world problems demand answers.

So, what do we do? In this sense, case offer depictions of real people with real problems and gives us practice in thinking them through, applying and testing theories, and seeing ways that key concepts expressed in various forms of jargon and technical language in textbooks actually occur in daily work-life. Thus, life is a problem-set without a single “right” solution. Success depends on how well we see the issues, how well we develop possible solutions, and how well we weigh potential outcomes. It also depends on how well we can communicate about these.

FIRST STUDENTS

Topic: College cheating scandal

Source: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/lori-loughlin-felicity-huffman-college-183944060.html (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

A group of wealthy parents allegedly paid a college prep organization to take the SAT/ACT in place of their children or to change their answers. Another part of this scandal was bribing college coaches to take in their children as recruits. I think this whole situation is very sad because there are people out there that work very hard and cannot afford college. These parents are not setting a good example for their children. What are they teaching their kids by buying their way through life? The parents should have used their money to get them a good education so that they had the actual abilities to get accepted into these colleges. I would argue that the children should not be punished for such fraudulent behaviors from their parents. Olivia Jade who is Lori Loughlin’s daughter was stripped away from her many sponsorships because of this scandal. Yes, the children were probably aware of what their parents were doing, but I just feel as if the children should not be as punished. Now Olivia’s life is ruined forever because of this scandal. The parents need to be held 100 percent responsible for these scandals.

SECOND STUDENTS

Topic: Vaping

Claim: Many think vaping is better than smoking, however, it is just as or more dangerous.

Source: https://www.procon.org/headline.php?headlineID=005430 (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Vaping came to be in 2006 and has only gotten more and more popular. The JUUL, which came out in 2015, is a product that goes along with vaping. When these forms of E-Cigarettes began to be sold, they advertised themselves as a way to help people quit smoking and a way to decrease death and diseases caused by traditional cigarettes, however, it is been proved that vaping has started to affect a large number of teens, getting a new generation addicted to nicotine and smoking. So, vaping has solved the problem for the adults smoking but has made it fun and easy for teens.

It is true that vaping involves a safer way to ingest tobacco, but it comes with serious health concerns. E-cigarettes drastically increase the risk for inhalation of terrible chemicals, a stroke, or a heart attack. These objects also come with the risk of exploding, which could lead to the loss of body parts such as eyes, tongues, or teeth, third-degree burns, holes in the roof of the mouth, and even death.

Even though vaping is newer, and Americans tend to think newer means better, does not mean that it is safer than smoking cigarettes.

THIRD STUDENTS

https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/20/us/california-girl-duffel-bag-child-mother-charged/index.html (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

This is the rhetorical situation that I came across. So, basically, this woman killed her 9-year-old daughter, and now she is a convicted felon. I’m not too sure how this could be a persuasive speech, but I do think that it is sick how people can give birth to people and then turn around and kill them. This also reminds me of the time that a guy that went to Plainfield Central killed both of his parents when they were coming to pick him up for spring/winter break (I can’t remember which one). I also don’t know how that could be a persuasive speech, but I also think that it is sort of a mental health thing and that we should really pay more attention to mental health issues because there are people struggling with it, and very few people address it.

FURTH STUDENTS

Topic: 2nd Amendment

Source: https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/04/second-amendment-needs-update-clarify-individual-right/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Ever since the rise of school shootings, the question of whether or not the 2nd amendment should be changed. I feel as if the 2nd amendment should always stand as a right to United States citizens, although there should be drastic change, such as stronger background checks, shorter ammo clips and not be able to buy assault rifles. Why must we have individuals suffering far more than they should? I agree with the fact when the author states that the purchase of firearms should be regulated. Yes, every individual has the right to their own arms, but I also feel as if a mentally ill person or any individual should not be able to purchase a gun like an AR-15 what is meant for killing.

You need to do as same as any one of the above example in 2 paragraphs

Question 2929 Communication Styles

Overview

Write a 3–4-page report that examines the current research on male and female communication styles.

This exercise allows you to consider the ways gender differences in communication impacts day-to-day interactions in personal and professional environments.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

Competency 1: Critically analyze issues related to gender and communication.
- Explain current research associated with male and female communication styles.
- Distinguish between male and female communication styles.
Competency 2: Evaluate personal and social dimensions of gender, communication, and culture.
- Describe the impact of communication styles on workplace communication and interaction.
- Explain how communication styles differ depending on personal and professional environments.
Competency 5: Communicate effectively in a variety of formats.
- Communicate in a concise, balanced, and organized manner and include an appropriate number of scholarly, high-quality resources.

Context

The Assessment 1 Context document explores the subject of male and female communication styles in greater depth. You may wish to review the document for key concepts and ideas related to the following topics:

- Communication Differences.
- Workplace Differences.
- Strategies for Better Communication.
- Do Gender Differences Really Matter?

ASSESSMENT 1 CONTEXT

George Bernard Shaw once said, “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” Many believe this is never truer than when communicating with someone of the opposite sex. Our ideas about gender differences in communication styles are frequently shaped by circumstance. They are constantly evolving. While it is good to be aware of gender communication differences, you must go beyond assumptions and decide how to respond and interact based on actual behavior.

Communication Differences

Much of the research on gender differences, as they relate to leadership roles, is fairly new. This research was initially driven by the low number of females holding significant leadership roles in corporations, politics, and government. While women have made great strides in recent years, they are still underrepresented at the higher levels of these organizations (Richmond & McCroskey, 2000). Research has found significant differences in the ways men and women communicate, as well as how they lead others (Muir, 2007). Often, these differences account for many misunderstandings and communication breakdowns. In the bulleted lists below, you will find examples of gendered communication differences (Note: Researchers often group male and female communication styles into speech communities.):

Female Speech Communities

- Use communication as a tool to establish and maintain relationships.
- Think in “webs,” seeing more connections among individuals and roles, as well as the impact a given communication may have on these connections.
- Establish equality and symmetry by sharing experiences.
- Invite others to speak, using more “agreement cues” to indicate value and caring.
- Pay more attention to relationship than content level in conversation.
- Engage in more “maintenance work” to sustain conversation (Lieberman, n.d.).

Male Speech Communities

- Talk to establish status and indicate knowledge and control.
- Tend to be direct and assertive.
- Tend to avoid personal disclosures, especially if it suggests vulnerability or weakness.
- Tend to be less emotionally responsive, often more abstract (versus personal).
- Interpret smiling as an “emotional” response.
- Self-identify as instrumental problem solvers, discovering facts and suggesting solutions.
- Use minimal response cues even if engaged (Lieberman, n.d.).

Workplace Differences

Specific differences in how men and women lead others are also present in the workplace. These differences can often be categorized in four ways: thinking, processing, leading, and speaking (McManus, 1999).

Thinking

Women are often more relationship oriented, while men are more task oriented. For example, women enjoy connecting to others when working, while men are more connected to the task at hand.

Deciding and Processing Information

- Women like to “talk things out,” while men process things internally.
- Women tend to work in groups and ask for help, while men work independently.

Leading

Women often take the “majority rules” approach, while men only consult those closest to them.

Speaking

- Communication style—verbal and nonverbal behaviors are important.
- Men tend to be more assertive and take up more time and space.
- Men often talk more than women.

Strategies for Better Communication

Now that we understand the differences between male and female communication styles, it is important to understand how we can bridge the gap between these gender roles in the hope of facilitating effective communication. Below are four strategies we can use to encourage better communications, regardless of gender:

Avoid stereotyping! Some men may communicate using a feminine style, while some women may use a more masculine style. Be aware that biases do exist.
Be open to breaking the cycle. Multiple leadership styles can be effective.
Work together and embrace differences.
Approach different people differently. Stay informed and be a chameleon. Learn more about male and female styles of communication and how to use both.

Do Gender Differences Really Matter?

The purpose of examining gender and communications is not to decide which communicative style is superior. Nor is it to motivate people to change their style. Rather, the purpose of this examination is to identify differences with a goal of understanding how best to communicate. Those around us shape our environment, so we must learn to overcome our differences if we want to work together effectively.We should also recognize that some men and women have almost none of the traits attributed to their respective gender. So it is important to recognize that people are unique and do not fit into a mold. To ensure effective and functional communication takes place, we must learn to understand and respect one another regardless of gender. Our goal should always be to focus on the individual with whom we are working and not the categories that might define him or her.

Question 2938 Records Label Independent Recording Company analysis

Question Description

Overview

This Critical Process exercise takes a deeper look at indie labels. We will be applying the steps of the critical process (that we read about in Chapter 1 and is discussed in every chapter) to the music industry.

Instructions

Investigate a small, independent recording company (of which there are tens of thousands throughout the United States and the world). Visit its Web site, and/or e-mail or telephone the company. In your investigation, proceed through the steps of the critical process (listed below).

Write up your analysis in about 3- 5 pages (double spaced).
Please number your responses.

Description.What kind of music does this label specialize in? Is the label limited to only one genre? What are some of the groups that the label produces? Where and how does the label identify its musical artists? How does the label describe itself? How does the label distribute its recordings to consumers?
Analysis.Look at the variety of groups that the label produces. What kind of fan is the label trying to target? How does this label promote its artists and get a recording to the consumer? What obstacles does the label face in popularizing its artists? Is the label fiercely independent, or is its goal to sell to a major label? Is the label struggling, or is it financially viable?
Interpretation.From what you’ve gathered so far from your research, what major problems do independent recording labels face? Do you see independent labels overcoming these problems? How?
Evaluation.What is the value of small independent recording companies to the entire recording industry? What would be different about the recording industry as a whole if small independent labels didn’t exist? Add other questions and information as you go along.

- ASSESSMENT 2 CONTEXT
  Theories About Gender and CommunicationAccording to Fixmer-Oraiz and Wood, a theory is a “way to describe, explain, and predict relationships among phenomena” (Fixmer-Oraiz & Wood, 2019, p. 34). Specifically, theories help make sense of the world around us. “Although we are not always aware of the theories we hold, they still shape how we act and how we expect others to act” (Fixmer-Oraiz & Wood, 2019, p. 34). Moreover, theories are a practical way of explaining what goes on around us, and although we sometimes believe theories are removed from the real world, they are directly connected to our everyday actions (Fixmer-Oraiz & Wood, 2019). It is important to remember the following:
- A theory represents a particular viewpoint as an attempt to understand phenomena.
- A theory offers more than explanations; it also influences attitudes and behaviors.
- One theory should not be considered the theory on gender development; multiple theories work together to create a fuller picture.
- The study of theoretical approaches to gender development and communication has been on the focus of researchers for many years. Before we can truly understand how males and females communicate, we must understand why we communicate a certain way. To do this we must study the theoretical approaches to gender development and communication.Specifically, gender is a social construct shaped by a number of social characteristics, larger normative expectations, personal experiences, and socializations. As communicators we must recognize the power of language and communication. We must understand why we use this to perceive, judge, and evaluate others.Communication Style Theories
  Following are some of the main theories that help us better understand the why behind our communication styles:Symbolic Interaction Theory
  Symbolic interaction theory helps us negotiate and define a situation. It helps us understand questions such as the following:
- Who am I?
- What should I do?
- What can I expect from you?
- What does this behavior mean?
- The symbolic interaction theory suggests that cultural definitions of gender follow us into the workplace, along with specific value placed on “masculine” versus “feminine” behaviors. It suggests that, because you must interpret a new situation based on previous experience, you may have to “feel uncomfortable” to create the perception that is important to you. This discomfort comes from breaking social norms, that is, you are requiring others to actively negotiate a new definition of the situation.Performative Theory
  The performative theory suggests that gender is an expression of identity. Language and how we communicate are part of how we perform this identity. It suggests that we are always engaged in a collaborative performance: male and female define each other. This may speak to the important boundaries we enforce culturally. We call this essentializing, where we assume a dichotomy between men and women. In this experience, gender is a lies on a continuum; it is neither a “he” nor “she.” The performative theory suggests that we can create and support performances to provoke change to socially constructed categories of gender expectations. Routine performances are more important than dramatic departures if change is desired. Heed this word of caution: We are wired to protect self (self-esteem). Change can be seen as threat to our definition of self. Communicate accordingly.Standpoint Theory
  This theory suggests that social location is culturally assigned. You experience society through the lens of the membership groups and the social locations you occupy. Critical evaluation of this location leads to a standpoint. In other words, a feminist perspective does not mean that only “women can understand women.” Members of the majority group (the powerful) have a vested interest in preserving the existing hierarchy and their place in it. As a result, views of social life may be more distorted. There may be a deep need to protect definition of self. Those in subordinate groups must understand their own perspectives to survive. They may also have a clearer view of the network due to outsider status. The standpoint theory holds that you must invest time in understanding the power structure you work in. You will need the support of others seeking to change the communication dynamic in your workgroups.References

Apply concept 1 through critical thinking skills
Concept 2- Summarize thoroughly and cite the book
Apply concept 2 through critical thinking skills
Conclusion- Close with telling us what concepts you chose. Each concept should be one or two sentences. Each concept application should be at least one sentence and how you applied them.

Make sure to cite your work in MLA or APA format. Use 12 point font. Double Space your paper. Each bullet point in this document should be different paragraphs. There is no page requirement as long as you do all of the above parts of the journal.

One way to cite the book in APA would be

Floyd (2017) states that plagiarism “which means using information from another source without giving proper credit to that source.”
Intellectual theft in several different ways including global theft, patchwork theft, and incremental theft (Floyd, 2017).

You do not have to use APA for these journals. MLA is fine with me. Always remember to cite anytime you use an idea that is not widely known.

Question 2958 Barrack Obama First Presidential Inaugural Address Speech Criticism

Question Description

In this paper, you are to criticize a speech using the Neo-Aristotelian concepts. Find a speech that interests you; speeches are available in anthologies, online from a variety of sources (see AmericanRhetoric.com) reprinted in newspapers and on the Internet. Do NOT critique a fictional speech (like a speech from a movie).

Please note: The focus here is on public speeches delivered by speakers to a live or televised audience. Short Youtube clips, speeches in movies, editorial articles, press releases, and book chapters are NOT considered public speeches.

Some considerations in writing the paper:

1) Critique the speech using concepts from our discussions of Neo-Aristotelian methodology. This should include a short treatment of context (situation, speaker, audience, constraints), then analysis of the speech itself using three key canon elements (style, ethos, logos, pathos, delivery, memory, arrangement), ending with an assessment of the effects or effectiveness of the speech. See the Classical Criticism Worksheet is you need a layout of the key elements.

2) At the end of the Context section, develop a Thesis Statement (or Research Question) as an italicized single sentence that will focus your analysis of the three key canon elements and clarify argument about the Effect of the speech. put it at the end of the context section. Italicize this!

3) Make titles of main points as arguments (something you claim about the speech/speaker), and support those points with good reasons and quoted examples from the speech, not just assertions. Analyze not just what was done in the speech, but how it was done, perhaps why it was done, and whether or not it was effective. Assess ways of improving the speech as a way of criticizing choices that the rhetormade.

Question 2959 Software Developer John Edward Interview

Find someone who has a job in the field you’d like to enter once you graduate. Set up a time and interview the person, in person. Don’t interview someone you already know, or someone who works at Dominican. Linked-in is a great method to find someone, as are more informal networks and contacts you may already have. Cold calls can be good as well, and will stretch your assertiveness.

You are aiming to find out how they got from where you are (seniors in college) to where they are now. A good tool – but not the only tool — for organizing the interview is the GOSS method. That means you should start out with their:

Goals. What were their goals as a young person?

Obstacles. What sort of obstacles did they face as they worked toward their goals?

Solutions. What sort of solutions did they come up with to deal with the obstacles?

Start. When did they put the solutions into play?

Repeat as necessary.

Write up a 500-600 report that hits the main points of the person’s career path, and also offers your own reflection on what you learned.

Obviously, dress nicely, be polite, be prompt, and honor any promises you make as far as time, etc.

It might be helpful to reach out to more than one person initially, in case the first person doesn’t respond. And if you get two, or three responses by the end of it all don’t worry. They are ALL good contacts for networking as you go forward. (Just tell them that you’ll be contacting them later in the semester.)

Question 2960 Enterprise Risk Management In Manufacturing

Understand how concept mapping can be used to help refine your thinking and writing of your paper.

Concept mapping can be a useful tool for helping you conceptualize your paper. This method is often used in research to help scholars conceptualize research studies. Creating a concept map is useful in helping you think through the major ideas, concept and bodies of literature that are guiding your work and help you organize these in a way that is cohesive, clear and compelling.

Assignment:

1-You specifically need to focus on implementing Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). Choose a “theme” (i.e. ERM in higher education, manufacturing., etc.), and make sure that all your resources relate to your theme.

2-Each of you will identify the main ideas and concepts that are embedded in his/her paper.

3-Once you have generated some concepts to work with, ask yourself how these concepts are related.

4-Create a concept map of the important concepts that underpin your paper and their connection to each other.

* Be creative don’t think about getting the right concept map. Think about the paper you are writing, the underlying thesis statement, the argument that you are making and how the concept embedded in your argument is related.

Once you have created a visual representation of the concepts in your paper, you will use it to answer the following questions (DON’T SIMPLY WRITE THE ANSWERS FOR THOSE QUESTIONS, those questions should help you to write the concept paper):

What are the central concepts at the heart of your paper?

How do you think these concepts related to each other and what is your basis for these?

What is the relationship between the concepts and ideas that you will discuss in your paper?

What literature informs your paper and how does this literature connect / relate?

You need to construct one page concept paper based on the concept map. This paper will illustrate your concept map.

At the end of this assignment, you need only to submit the visual representation of the concept map, and one page concept paper.

This assignment can be challenging one. Therefore, to be on the right track please do the following:

1) Read the instructions for completing this assignment carefully.

ASSESSMENT 5 CONTEXT

Over the years, sexual discrimination within the workplace has become less prominent. However, gendered organizational communication is often a key factor in workplace interactions and the overall success or failure of communication. Specifically, many stereotypes exist regarding women and men, masculine and feminine norms, and gendered patterns of communication in organizations. The interworking of gendered relationships within the workplace and the factors that contribute to the success or failure of communication interactions help set the tone within corporations throughout our country. It is important to examine the meaning of personal workplace relationships and models of personal relationships and gain an understanding of how we (the sexes) can better coexist and work together. It is important to understand that, as Fixmer-Oraiz and Wood explain, “personal relationships are those in which partners depend upon each other for various things ranging from material assistance to affection”(2019, p. 173), and that “partners regard each other as unique individuals who cannot be replaced” (p. 173), and finally that “of the many relationships we form, only a few become really personal” (p. 173).

Male and Female Leadership-Style Stereotypes Within the Workplace

Females

Females are expected to play the role of a mother and be nurturing, supportive, and deferential.
Females are expected to smile constantly, listen, and support others
Female employees who are mothers are often considered less reliable and less committed to their work.
Females are more critical of other women.
Females lead democratically.
Females use only positive reinforcement.

Males

Men are expected to be tough and not show affect.
Men are expected to be aggressive and commit themselves more to work than to family.
Men are expected to outearn women.
Men often feel their identity is linked to their earning power.
Men use less positive reinforcement.
Men are very direct.
Men like to work independently.

ASSESSMENT 4 CONTEXT

We enter a gendered society at birth and continue to receive messages about gender throughout our lives. (Wood & Bodey, 2011, p. 100). Is gender learned? Are we born with a specific gender? What does the research suggest? These are the questions we often consider when we study gender.

As you explore these questions, think about how foundational pieces of our identities are shaped throughout our life. It is important to understand that our identities are formed by our culture and other key influences that shape who we are as we grow and develop. The truth is that we do not passively receive gender, but, rather, we select messages to accept or reject over time.

Gender is learned.
- We are born with our sex (male, female), and we learn our gender (masculine, feminine).
- We learn and express our gender through interactions with others and with the media.
Cultures create gender by giving social meanings to biological sex.
- Gender differs from culture to culture.
- Currently, in the United States, masculinity is associated with strength, ambition, rationality, and emotional control.
- Currently, in the United States, femininity is associated with physical attractiveness, deferential and nurturing behavior, emotional expression, and concern with people and relationships.
Gender is not stable.
- Cultural and individual meanings of gender can change over time and context.
- New identity labels (people who reject traditional gender categories) challenge our ideas about gender.
- Gender is a relational concept. We can only understand masculinity in relation to femininity, and vice versa. Changing ideas about one gender affect the other.
Gender is a social, symbolic construction that varies across cultures, over time within a given culture, over the course of individuals’ life spans, and in relation to the other gender.
- Self-as-object is a central process in personal identity formation. In this process, we are able to think about, reflect upon, and respond to ourselves. As we internalize others’ views of us, their views become important to how we see and evaluate ourselves.
- Monitoring is a second process in identity formation, in which we engage in internal dialogues with these internalized perspectives. Through these dialogues, we remind ourselves what others have told us to think, do, look like, feel, and so on.

Question 2965Social Psychology of Communication

Unit 2 – Your Own Model of Communication

Design your own model of communication and film a 3-4 minute speech describing the model and the reasons why you designed it the way you did

The goal of this assignment is to describe your model clearly to the audience, present an extemporaneous speech, and formulate an outline that you will turn in along with your speech. You may use note cards or a copy of your outline to present your speech. Please do not attempt to type your speech out word for word. Using a word for word outline can result in reading directly from your paper and will result in a point deduction.

Evaluation of the self-introduction speech will focus on organization, content, and delivery. Specifically, the following speech structures will be evaluated:

Introduction	Captured audience attention Establish credibility Clear preview
Transitions	Smoothly move between main ideas
Body (Main points and supporting points)	Clear organization
Conclusion	Review main ideas Summarize speech (memorable/creative)

Question 2967 Five Stages for Staying Together

Question Description

In his book Social Intercourse; From Greeting to Goodbye (1978), Mark Knapp introduced his Interaction Stages based on Altman and Taylors Social Penetration theory. In the book, Knapp identifies five relational stages for coming together and five for coming apart. What he does not do is identify the stages that represent staying together.

Your task is to develop at least five stages for Staying Together that fit with Knapp’s model specifically and Social Penetration theory in general. Identify each stage by name, clearly define each stage, and provide a real example with dialogue for each stage. Also, identify the type(s) of relationships that Knapp and your model’s stages do and do not represent, and provide a rationale.

Question 2971 Shopify Annual Report

Each week, you’ll be participating in a threaded discussion relative to chapter topics. They involve the whole class and deal with questions that come up in your chapter readings. You are required to post twice weekly in each unit discussion. In many cases, I will have multiple topics within each chapter discussion. You are not required to post on each topic to receive credit; you are required to respond and/or comment to one or more of the topics twice. Remember, it is a discussion so you should be responding to each other unless, of course, you begin the discussion on a specific topic. Short responses such as “I agree with John” will not count; nor will short one or two sentence responses. Also, if your response/comment is not original in thinking, you will not receive full credit. In other words, be sure to read other comments before you make your own or you could duplicate someone else’s response therefore reducing the point value for your thread. Those who wait until late Sunday may have a more difficult time with this.

Topic 1: Look at the the following annual report (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.by Shopify and discuss what you think is done well, could be improved and find another annual report online that you feel is as good or better than the Shopify report. Explain why.

Question 2973 Social Media Usage

Part 1

For this assignment, you will write emails explaining a situation to both an employer and a friend.
Your employer has asked you to work on a day that you have already requested off for personal reasons. You are unable to change your plans and must therefore explain why you are unable to work (a family wedding or similar event is a possible choice for this). Your friend has asked you to assist him or her with moving on the same day. Again, you are unable to help because of the same prior engagement.

Write an email to your employer explaining why you are unable to work on the day specified.
Write an email to your friend explaining why you are unavailable to help with his or her move.
In a short, 1-page reflection, explain the differences between how you have communicated in the two emails. Familiarity with the other person, formality, type of language used, and other factors you may wish to include.
Keep in mind the audiences to whom you are writing. Ideas of grammar, formality, and word choice may be very different depending on your audience, but in both cases, clarity and succinctness are important.

Part 2

You have been working on a group project with several other students. The project has generally been going well, but one person on the project has not been pulling his or her weight, relying on everyone else in the group to complete the project. The group has discussed this problem, and you have elected as the person to communicate with the student who has not been helping on the project.

Using Microsoft Word or a similar program, draft an email to your fellow student discussing the issue and what you think can or should be done to resolve it. You will want to communicate carefully, being clear on the problem as you see it without being aggressive or angry. Proper language and tone will be extremely important.

On the same document, in 2-3 paragraphs, discuss how you came to the solution for this issue. In this discussion, include what would constitute a good resolution for the problem in your opinion and what actions (or non-action) by the offending student would cause you to contact the instructor for additional help in resolving the problem.

Part 3

In the same way that you would analyze a work or personal life communication situation, you will be asked to create a short presentation (using media choices below) about the nonverbal communication demonstrated in a series of photographs. In addition to identifying aspects of nonverbal communication, you will also need to show how these elements can affect communication both positive and negatively. Include your observations of how nonverbal elements that you see alter the direction of communication.

Select four of included photographs.
Using either PowerPoint or Prezi, create a presentation that demonstrates your comprehension regarding these communication elements: Please include the following:
1. A title slide including your name.
2. Four slides that explain aspects of the nonverbal communication that you see depicted in the photographs. Be sure to include the photograph on the slide. Be as specific and detailed as possible in your description of body language, facial expression, physical distance (if applicable), gesture, and other aspects of nonverbal communication that you see.

Using Screencast-o-matic (screencast-o-matic.com) or similar software, create a short video presentation of your PowerPoint or Prezi. Explain in detail the nonverbal elements of communication that you observe in each of the four photographs you have selected. Video should be between four and seven minutes long. This video should either be of the presentation itself or a hybrid video that includes both the presentation and an inset webcam video.

Upload your video to screencast-o-matic, YouTube, or similar online video sharing site and provide a link to your video. Include your PowerPoint or Prezi with your submission.

Part 4

You have just received two emails, one from your boss or supervisor and one from a coworker. The two emails address the same situation. A minor problem has occurred that you may be responsible for creating. Your boss/supervisor has asked you for a resolution to the problem. Your coworker, who has been affected by this problem, is angry with you and has written an inflammatory email accusing you of creating this problem on purpose.

Using word, write an email as a reply to both of the emails that you have received. You should attempt to resolve the problem as efficiently as possible. Since your email will be received both by a supervisor and a coworker, consider all aspects of your communication including the formality of the language you use, grammar, and all aspects of formal communication. Your goal is to solve the problem and maintain your professionalism at the same time.
On the same document, analyze the conflict that has happened. What was the cause of the conflict? How did you attempt to resolve the conflict? What did you need to address in terms of your supervisor’s concerns, and how were these different from your coworker’s concerns? Do you think your supervisor and coworker handled the conflict well in their emails to you? How effective are these emails?

Part 5

For this, you will be asked to generate posts on social media as it is used by businesses.

Your current employer is interested in using various social media to increase the company/organization’s profile in the area. The company/organization has also recently introduced a new product or service that your boss wants the general public to know about. You have been asked to create the initial contact to the public on both Facebook and Twitter.

Select a product or service that is appropriate either for your current job or for the career you intend to have.
Create two Facebook posts of up 100 words each announcing the product/service to the company’s Facebook audience and two tweets (limit 140 characters including spaces) for the company’s Twitter audience announcing the new product or service. These should be written as if they will be posted to social media, but should be submitted as a Word document.
Keep in mind the conventions of social media. Grammar and spelling are critically important, as is maintaining professionalism while still being fun and welcoming to customers or clients.
Write a 2-3 paragraph reflection on how you approached these posts and how writing social media posts for a professional entity like a business differs from your personal use of social media.

Part 6

Consider your experiences at work, school, and in your personal life. You have, at some point, been asked to work with a group to achieve a particular goal. It might have been a group research project, a new marketing plan, a learning plan, a schedule to roll out new technology, planning a wedding, or even planning and creating a large family meal. In many collaborative efforts like these, there are disagreements. Select one collaborative experience from your past that involved some disagreements or significant differences of opinion.

Write a short (2-page) paper in APA style discussing the following elements:

Describe the project that you were working on, including the people involved.
Explain the problem that you encountered with the group. How was that problem overcome? What was the end result of encountering and dealing with that problem?
What do you think was the cause of the problem? How much of the problem came from miscommunication, either from you or from other people involved? What did you do to help resolve the problem?
If you were able to relive that experience, how would you change the way that you approached the encountered problem? How would you communicate differently?
How, ultimately, was the conflict resolved?

Name three of your own original ideas that may also be worthwhile, and discuss why this would increase learning in your classroom.
If you were a parent and received the letter shown in Case 7.4, how would you feel? Would you be motivated to support this teacher? Would you be glad that your child was in this teacher’s classroom? How convinced are you the teacher’s statement “I will do what is needed to help your child be successful academically?” Who does it seem the teacher is blaming for incomplete homework? Is it clear to you what exactly the teacher is concerned about? Discuss why you feel this letter to parents is appropriate or not appropriate.
In your own words, redo the letter in Case 7.4 using what you have learned in this module so the result would be ultimately a more positive learning environment for the student.
Identify four ways you can develop a positive working relationship with your students’ parents. Discuss why this would be beneficial if problems should ever occur. Discuss what may happen if problems with a student occur and there is not a pro-active relationship going on between teacher and parents.

For example, I suggest reading the first two chapters in Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Friere as they apply to all of the books considered as texts. Finally, what do you consider strengths and weaknesses in the book, key learnings, and what does the book say or not say about participation, popular education, dialogue or other key concepts in participatory realms of thinking and doing (or ideas linked to community engagement and adult learning).

Specifically, discuss the emotional impact on the parent(s) when children develop proficiency that they themselves do not have. 2. Specifically, how will you minimize the barrier of parent’s limited English proficiency? (Remember not every ELL parent speaks Spanish. Therefore, a Spanish interpreter is not a solve all solution and is difficult to find interpreters in all languages) 3. Specifically, how will you minimize the barrier of a parent’s limited educational background? 4. Specifically, how will you minimize the mismatch between school culture and home culture? 5.

Question 200 Talking With Parents Talking with parents about the struggles their child is having in class can be a difficult task for teachers and childcare professionals

Talking With Parents Talking with parents about the struggles their child is having in class can be a difficult task for teachers and childcare professionals. According to Powell and Driver (2013), “teachers and school staff can talk with parents about the possibility of their child needing to undergo an evaluation for ADHD, but the official diagnosis must come from a medical professional or clinician (i.e., medical doctor, psychiatrist, or psychologist)” (Section 5.5). Reflect on what this statement means to you. How can you talk with parents about this subject without sounding as if you are diagnosing? What advice can you provide to parents who come to you with concerns about their child without implying that a disability is present? I need this assignment done by tomorrow

Question 203 children must develop strong self-regulation skills

Regardless of a child’s unique qualities, one thing remains the same; to improve learning and behavior, children must develop strong self-regulation skills. Read the article from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), “Developing Young Children’s Self-Regulation Through Everyday Experiences (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..” The marshmallow experiment is a famous test conducted by Walter Mischel at Stanford University and discussed by Daniel Goleman in his popular work. In the 1960s, a group of four-year-olds were given a marshmallow and promised another only if they could wait 20 minutes before eating the first one. Some children could wait and others could not. The researchers then followed the progress of each child into adolescence, and demonstrated that those with the ability to wait were better adjusted and more dependable (determined via surveys of their parents and teachers), and scored an average of 210 points higher on the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Read the American Psychological Association (APA) article, “Delaying Gratification (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..” Reflect on the information in the NAEYC article, the article, and your text and explain how toddlers with better self-regulation skills are less likely to demonstrate behavior problems in preschool. Explain why these self-regulation skills are so important and how you will promote the learning of self-regulation. How will you deliberately teach self-regulation as part of everyday experience? Share an example of your own self-regulation skills that you can model for others.

Patton video: Please analyze some of the transactional leadership skills of this heroic World War II leader to our quest of enhancing student learning in today’s schools. Consider Patton’s leadership strengths that could prove helpful in causing positive change in classrooms today, as well as aspects of Patton’s leadership that would not be effective or recommended in leading students today. Chamberlain video: One of Chamberlain’s first roles as a leader is to transform 120 mutineers into a fighting army. In this segment from the famed film titled Gettysburg, you will observe a revered transformational leader in action who helped change the course of American history. In a 3-4-page paper, identify the leadership style depicted in each of the video clips you viewed this week and compare/contrast the efforts made by the video leaders to develop a shared vision, establish a working relationship, and enlist others in the effort before them. Make relevant applications of these strengths to your leadership today in the classroom. In addition, please describe your thoughts about the benefits and/or disadvantages of adopting a transformational leadership style versus a transactional one.

Iron Jawed Angels

What to do: In this discussion, I would like you to write a post that touches on some of the following topics relating to Iron Jawed Angels (below). Make sure to incorporate specific details from the film AND specific details from lecture and readings to help back up your ideas. Anacronism: Can you think of a few examples in the film where the filmmaker took license with history? For example, where did they put in modern details, attitudes, or sensibilities to make the film resonate with a 21st century audience? (Anacronism = something, a word, object or an event, that is mistakenly paced in a time where is does not belong). We are not looking for obscure inaccuracies, just major ones that might be important when critiquing the overall value of the film. The whole story? Do you think that someone watching this movie will get an accurate depiction of how the 19th Amendment was won? Explain to reason for your answer with specific details from readings and lecture to show your knowledge . How does “Iron Jawed Angels” compare to our textbook and lecture accounts of the road to suffrage (1848-1920)? The merit of the film? What do you think is the greatest merit of the film? Are the anachronisms and limited chosen narrative outweighed by the film’s overall value? Provide specific examples to explain your answer.

Film as history. Whether we historians like it or not, many Americans get most of their ‘history’ from Hollywood films (and TV shows). These films may be inaccurate, biased toward modern sensibilities, or politically motivated. Are there dangers or advantages of using popular films to learn history? Provide specific examples to explain your answer. Discussion Directions: NOTE: This post needs to be your own work. This means: Resist the temptation to google “Iron Jawed Angels + Anachronism.” If you write some obscure details about the inaccuracy of number of stars on the American flag or incorrect door handles being used or how the wrist watches were from the wrong time period, I will be pretty sure that you looked up that information online (or else you will need to prove to me how you came to be so knowledgeable in the subject of historic door handles…). Please only use our readings and lectures this week as the basis for your discussion. Do not go online looking for additional information. One of your goals is to demonstrate that you have completed this week’s assigned materials. Also you will have to watch this lecture and give evidences from it. This is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBsAeAz0yBQ&feature=youtu.be

Portfolio Reflection

In this module, we’ve learned a great deal about the value of history, how learning from the past may help provide definition to our present world perspective and how studying and learning from our ancient ancestors can potentially contribute in shaping our own future. Throughout this course, we have examined various civilizations and in each one we’ve learned about a myriad of aspects that helped influence our ancestors’ capacity to act responsibly and determine their roles or abilities to contribute to society. For this reflection, you will answer the question: “What can I, as an historian of the ancient world, learn and apply from the history of my ancient ancestors to my own role in contributing to and acting responsibly for the betterment of society?” In order to answer this question effectively for your reflection you must: Pick one common theme/criteria topic (from the list below) that you think significantly influenced an individual from the ancient world to act responsibly and contribute towards society. o Technology o Politics/Bureaucracy o Law/Ethics o Arts/Sciences o Economy/Business o Education o Military/Police o Religion/Morals & Traditions Explain how at least one specific example (one individual) from at least three different civilizations covered throughout this course supports your selected theme/criteria.

(So, your essay will talk about 3 different people – each from a different civilization that we discussed.) Support each of your examples with evidence from the articles in the M13 learning module about why we study history. In total, you must reference at least three of the articles in the learning activities, Support each of your examples with evidence from the module where we discussed their civilization (So, you will reference at least 3 learning modules in your paper.) Connect how understanding the history of your ancient ancestors in the context of your selected theme/ criteria has influenced your sense of responsibility and contributing role towards the betterment of society. In other words, what have you learned from their experiences that can help you act more responsibly today?

So, as you are composing your posts, be sure to write your post in your own words, your own voice, while placing quotations around a sentence or two that you may lift from the text to support your opinion. But remember that your opinion is taken from your clear and concise understanding of the critical ideas from the readings. #1. Explain Hume, Kant, Blyden and Crummell’s negative views of African/Black people. How are their ideas similar or different to one another? Be sure to know that Kant and Hume were white philosophers and Blyden and Crummell were African Americans who lived during the 1800s; evidence the sources from eLearn. However, all responses must be written in your OWN words. #2. Why is Dr. Yefru having this conversation about Hume, Kant. Blyden and Crummell in his introductory chapter? Sit with this question a bit. This is an introductory course to the discipline of Africana studies where we promote African-centered critical thinking (which we will discuss next week.) Why is this discussion important for Yefru? What does Yefru think about the ideas of Hume, Kant, Blyden and Crummell?

Once you have determined characteristics of the audience the document is addressing, write your technical document analysis based on the requirements below: Your analysis should be in essay form, with at least three paragraphs. Your paper should have introduction and conclusion paragraphs. The analysis should focus on audience.

The discussion should elaborate on certain points about the audience (for example, organization, use of graphics, etc.).

Your essay should be two typed pages long (double-spaced with 12-pt. font). Since you are referring to another piece of writing, you should cite the article you have used, using a method acceptable in your field (or MLA style).

Question 965 Entity-Relationship Diagrams

The article, “Issues and Guidelines in Modelling Decomposition of Minimum Participation in Entity-Relationship Diagrams,” found in the Reading & Study folder of Module/Week 1, presents arguments for the construction of tables involving entity relationships with minimum cardinalities of zero in such a way that the table designs minimizes the occurrences of nulls in the data.

That is, in a 1-to-1 relationship, it is generally understood that it does not matter which table receives the foreign key.

In the article, however, when a minimum cardinality of zero exists, improper placement of the foreign key can result in excessive nulls. It can be said that Christianity follows a

1-to-many (1-M) relationship in that one man (Jesus Christ) died for all humankind and that all are offered eternal life through this one man’s death upon the cross. Likewise, this relationship can be expressed with minimum cardinalities

(1:1; 0:M) such that Christ is the only way to heaven (1:1), but that not all who are offered the chance of eternal life will accept the gracious and divine gift of salvation through Christ

(0:M). Relate this article to a biblical scenario. Specifically, discuss 1 example of a biblical relationship, principle, or event in which a 1-to-many or many-to-many relationship exists with at least 1 cardinality of zero. Elaborate on the implications of this relationship.

For example, in the above illustration, the minimum cardinality of zero from Christ to mankind means that not all who are offered the gift of salvation accept it. The minimum cardinality of 1 from mankind to Christ means that Jesus is the one and only way to eternal salvation.

Q26

Debates on whether the converged International Financial Reporting Standards have resulted in harmonised international accounting practices across countries have been growing over the last ten years. Study based in emerging economies, such as China (He et al., 2012), Romania (Albu et al., 2014), India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh (Ali et al., 2006), South Pacific Island countries (Chand, 2005), United Arab Emeritus (Irvine, 2008), and Turkey (Misirlioglu et al., 2013), have consistently reported the challenge of effectively implementing IFRS in those countries due to country-specific contextual issues. Nobes (2015) also reported challenging issues in implanting IFRS in developed countries. Assignment questions 1. Prepare a report critically arguing why having a single set of accounting standards (i.e. IFRS) for a world-wise use is inherently problematic. 2. Review literature explaining the contextual issues of implementing IFRS in emerging economies and in developed countries. 3. Critique whether adoption and use of IFRS will lead to improved financial reporting quality.

Q37

Luxurious firm performs its expenditure cycle activities using its integrated ERP system as follows: • Employees in any department can enter purchase requests for items they note as being either out of stock or in small quantity. • Occasionally, special items are ordered that are not regularly kept as part of inventory, from a specialty supplier who will not be used for any regular purchases. In these cases, an accounts payable clerk creates a one-time supplier record. • Each day, employees in the purchasing department process all purchase requests from the prior day. To the extent possible, requests for items available from the same supplier are combined into one larger purchase order in order to obtain volume discounts. Purchasing agents use the Internet to compare prices in order to select suppliers. If an Internet search discovers a potential new supplier, the purchasing agent enters the relevant information in the system, thereby adding the supplier to the approved supplier list. Purchase orders above $10,000 must be approved by the purchasing department manager. Electronic Data Interchange is used to transmit purchase orders to most suppliers, but paper purchase orders are printed and mailed to suppliers who are not Electronic Data Interchange capable. • Receiving department employees have read-only access to outstanding purchase orders. Usually, they check the system to verify existence of a purchase order prior to accepting delivery, but sometimes during rush periods they unload trucks and place the items in a corner of the warehouse where they sit until there is time to use the system to retrieve the relevant purchase order. In such cases, if no purchase order is found, the receiving employee contacts the supplier to arrange for the goods to be returned. • Receiving department employees compare the quantity delivered to the quantity indicated on the purchase order. Whenever a discrepancy is greater than 5%, the receiving employee sends an email to the purchasing department manager. The receiving employee uses an online terminal to enter the quantity received before moving the material to the inventory stores department. Required: Identify weaknesses in Luxurious firm existing expenditure cycle procedures, explain the resulting problems, and suggest as solution.

The California State University (CSU) system is the largest four-year higher educationsystem in the United States. In 2004, all twenty-three CSU campuses adopted PeopleSoft,an enterprise resource planning system, for managing finances, personnel records andother important functions. The project was referred to as the Common ManagementSystem (CMS). Considering Brown’s taxonomy of risk, identify five risks the CSU and itsmanagement took by making the PeopleSoft decision.2. The following is a question in which one is expected to evaluate internal controls.The Art Appreciation Society operates a museum for the benefit and enjoyment of the community.During hours when the museum is open to the public, two clerks who are positioned at theentrance collect a $5 admission fee from each nonmember patron. Members of the ArtAppreciation Society are permitted to enter free of charge upon presentation of their membershipcards.At the end of each day one of the clerks delivers the proceeds to the treasurer. The treasurercounts the cash in the presence of the clerk and places it in a safe. Each Friday afternoon thetreasurer and one of the clerks deliver all cash held in the safe to the bank, and receive anauthenticated deposit slip which provides the basis for the weekly entry in the cash receipts journal.The Board of Directors of the Art Appreciation Society has identified a need to improve their systemof internal control over cash admission fees.The Board had determined that the cost of installing turnstiles, sales booths, or otherwise alteringthe physical layout of the museum will greatly exceed any benefits that may be derived. However,the Board has agreed that the sale of admission tickets must be an integral part of its improvementefforts.Smith has been asked by the Board of Directors of the Art Appreciation Society to review theinternal control over cash admission fees and provide suggestions for improvement.RequiredIndicate weaknesses in the existing system of internal control over cash admission fees, which Smithshould identify, and recommend one improvement for each of the weaknesses identified.

Topic: Research Individual Assignment

Task Details: Mags Ltd is an Australian mail-order company. Although the sector in Australia is growing slowly, Mags Ltd has reported significant increases in sales and net income in recent years. While sales increased from $50 million in 2009 to $120 million in 2018, profit increased from $3 million to $12 million over the same period. The stock market and analysts believe that the company’s future is very promising. In early 2019, the company was valued at $350 million, which was three times 2018 sales and 26 times estimated 2019 profit.

Company management and many investors attribute the company’s success to its marketing flair and expertise. Instead of competing on price, Mags Ltd prefers to focus on service and innovation, including: •

free delivery • a free gift with orders over $200.

As a result of such innovations, customers accept prices that are 60% above those of competitors, and Mags maintains a gross profit margin of around 40%.

Nevertheless, some investors have doubts about the company as they are uneasy about certain accounting policies the company has adopted. For example, Mags Ltd capitalises the costs of its direct mailings to prospective customers ($4.2 million at 30 June 2018) and amortises them on a straight-line basis over 3 years. This practice is considered to be questionable as there is no guarantee that customers will be obtained and retained from direct mailings.

In addition to the mailing lists developed by in-house marketing staff, Mags Ltd purchased a customer list from a competitor for $800 000 on 4 July 2019. This list is also recognised as a non-current asset. Mags Ltd estimates that this list will generate sales for at least another 2 years, more likely another 3 years. The company also plans to add names, obtained from a phone survey conducted in August 2019, to the list. These extra names are expected to extend the list’s useful life by another year.

Mags Ltd.’s 2018 statement of financial position also reported $7.5 million of marketing costs as noncurrent assets. If the company had expensed marketing costs as incurred, 2018 net income would have been $10 million instead of the reported $12 million. The concerned investors are uneasy about this capitalisation of marketing costs, as they believe that Mags Ltd.’s marketing practices are relatively easy to replicate. However, Mags Ltd argues that its accounting is appropriate. Marketing costs are amortised at an accelerated rate (55% in year 1, 29% in year 2, and 16% in year 3), based on 25 years’ knowledge and experience of customer purchasing behaviour.

Required: Discuss the requirements under AASB138 / IAS 38 Intangible Assets how Mag Ltd should account for the costs. Provide reasons for your answer in reference to relevant paragraphs of AASB138 / IAS 38.

Research requirements: Students need to support their analysis with reference to relevant material from the text and a minimum of eight (8) suitable, reliable, current and academically acceptable sources – this should include at least 2 peer-reviewed academic journal articles.

Presentation: 2000 + 10% word short report format.

Q54

You are the audit manager of Overseas Explorer Ltd (OEL), which acquired the small
proprietary company Local Pty Ltd (Local) on 30 June 2018. The price of the acquisition was
agreed at $5 million, on the condition that OEL is satisfied with the financial records of Local.
As Local is a small proprietary company, it has not prepared statutory financial reports or
undergone an audit since its incorporation in 2016. However, Local has agreed to allow your
firm, which is the auditor of OEL, to access its books and records. The CEO of OEL, Wendy
Champion, has requested that your firm provide assurance on the following three items:
? The management accounts for the year ended 30 June 2017
? All transactions occurring from the date negotiations commenced until the settlement
date, to ensure that all transactions were within the normal course of operations
? The financial report prepared at the acquisition date of 30 June 2018
In order to clarify your responsibilities, you requested that OEL indicate the level of
assurance that they require for each item. Wendy replied that the financial report as at
acquisition date is very important, as are the transactions since negotiations commenced,
but that she is willing to have less work done on the previous year’s management accounts.
Required:
Indicate the type of engagement that will most likely be undertaken for each of the three tasks
and the level of assurance to be provided. Explain your selections. (10 marks)

Use the spreadsheet template tab Task 1 in order to complete this task.
Task 2
Materiality assessment requires an auditor to make judgements about the size of
misstatements that would be considered ‘material’ to the users of the financial statements.
The auditor will design procedures in order to identify and correct errors or irregularities that
would have a material effect on the financial report and affect the decision making of the
users of the financial report. Materiality is used in determining audit procedures, sample
selections, and evaluating differences from client records to audit results. It is the maximum
amount of misstatement, individually or in aggregate, that can be accepted in the financial
report.
In selecting the base figure to be used to calculate materiality, an auditor should consider the
key drivers of the business. They should ask, ‘What are the end users (i.e. shareholders, banks
etc.) of the accounts going to be looking at?’ For example, will shareholders be interested in
profit figures that can be used to pay dividends and increase share price?
S & A Partners’ audit methodology dictates that one planning materiality (PM) amount is to
be used for the financial report as a whole (that is, rather than separate PMs for the income
statement and the balance sheet). The basis selected is the one determined to be the key
driver of the business.

100) We all have a culture that we learn about through the lifelong process of socialization. Enculturation is the process of acquiring the characteristics of a certain culture. Socialization is the process through which we learn social norms of the culture. Through these processes we internalize social and cultural norms, so that they become a part of our self. The sources of socialization are clear – the family, the church, the school, peers, the media, etc. As a part of a cultural group, we share customs, language, dialects, ideas, faith, and beliefs about our own culture, as well as beliefs about other cultures. Our own culture is a lens through which we view the world. This is only natural, but we must be careful that we do not use our culture as the standard by which we measure up and judge the value of other cultures.

Sometimes, culture is so intertwined with our feelings that there is a fine line between subjectivity and objectivity. As a teacher, you must be aware of your cultural lens – your learned attitudes as well as learned feelings – about the microcultures to which some of your students may belong.

Your cultural lens is made up of attitudes and opinions and feelings. Your attitudes and opinions are essentially judgments that you may pass from your cultural perspective about the rightness or wrongness of things. Attitudes and opinions are explainable. You can intellectually reason and rationally explain why you believe something is right or wrong, moral or immoral, good or bad. Attitudes and opinions are learned in the socialization process, and may even be so strong that are perceived as feelings. Feelings, however, are different. Your feelings emerge quickly and may be harder for you to explain or understand than your attitudes. There may be some attitudes, opinions and feelings you want to change, or you may be completely comfortable as you are. Either way, in a multicultural teaching environment, you must be keenly aware of your culture, and the cultural lens through which you consciously and/or unconsciously view your students.

In this assignment, reflect on your own cultural lens and think critically about your attitudes and feelings about certain microcultures. Your cultural lens is how you view the rest of the world from the vantage point of your own culture. It is your learned and socially shared set of attitudes, opinions and feelings about other microcultures. You will also assess the Educational Impact (positive or negative) of your feelings and attitudes.

Instructions:

Using the list of microcultures below, respond to the following questions for five (5) microcultures that are listed:

Indicate your personal feelings. Remember that feelings cannot be right or wrong – they are only feelings. List the first three “feeling words” (not adjectives to describe the microculture) that come to mind. How does it make you feel when you think about that microculture? Do not describe how you think members of that microculture feels or should feel. If you are not sure if a word is a “feeling word,” try it in the sentence, “I feel ______.” For example, you may feel sad or frustrated or angry or empathetic when you think about poor people because…….
Indicate your attitudes and opinions about the microculture. Remember, attitudes and opinions are reasoned, intellectual positions. If asked, you could rationally explain and defend (though others may disagree) your position without describing your feelings. If you are not sure if a word is a “thinking word,” try it in the sentence, “I think ________.” For example, you may think that rich people are snobby or shallow or high achievers or intelligent because…….
Reflect on where your feelings, attitudes and opinions come from. What are the sources of your cultural lens? What socialization forces in your life contribute to your cultural lens? Church, media, friends, family, personal experiences, personal observations?
Reflect on how you think your cultural lens could impact your students. How could your feelings and attitudes about this microculture impact your classroom positively or negatively?
Finally, reflect on your comfort level with you own cultural lens, and how it views other microcultures. Do you think that you need to change some aspect of your cultural lens to be an effective teacher? If you think you need to change, indicate the first three things (be specific) that you could do to begin the process of effecting change.

Case Study One Pat and Chris are medical billing specialists who have been in the same department for 2 years. They are both well qualified and do a good job. They have always been competitive, each believing that they are the biggest contributors to team success. There is also an ongoing problem between them based on political views. During a team meeting 2 weeks ago, they had an argument after the state’s new gun control law was mentioned. Pat leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and loudly stated, “The government should keep its hands off my rights,” and, “Anyone who thinks that gun control is a good idea is ignorant.” Chris immediately leaned forward, pointing his finger at Pat and sternly told him that he did not know what he was talking about: guns cause hundreds of unnecessary injuries and deaths every year because the public has access to them. Their manager calmed things down and finished the meeting, but now Pat and Chris are avoiding each other whenever possible and not sharing important work-related information with each other. When the two are forced to interact, they find ways to subtly make verbal attacks at one another. The tension between them has spread, the entire team feels stressed because of the situation, and production has slowed.

Case Study Two

Agnes is a new medical assistant in a large primary care practice. At the end of the day, she was in the waiting room straightening up when the office manager, Jaime, entered the room and seemed to be checking up on Agnes’s work. Jaime picked up a stack of a local health newsletters and frowned. “What are these doing here, Agnes?” Agnes took a step back and quietly said, “I’m not sure,” keeping her eyes toward the floor. Jaime stepped toward Agnes, shaking the newsletters as he said, “Look Agnes, you don’t get to decide what the patients get to see. That’s Dr. Ruiz’s job.” At this point, Dr. Ruiz walked through the waiting room, smiled, and said, “Oh sorry, I put them out there as a resource for patients. Have a good evening!” Dr. Ruiz then walked out. Under his breath, Jaime muttered, “Who does he think he is?” and tossed the newsletters back on the table. Agnes looked at Jaime and an irritated voice said, “I guess you can leave them out then,” and shrugged as he walked out of the room. Agnes took a deep breath and straightened the newsletters.

Case Study Three
Darnell and Janine work for a large lab company in an appointment office. They have worked in the same office for 2 years. Darnell needed a patient file to prepare materials for a blood draw, and the file was not in the back. He walked up to the front desk, irritated that once again he had to track down a file that Janine was supposed to have filed. When Darnell arrived at the front desk, he saw a woman waiting to be checked in for lab work and Janine talking on her cell phone with her back to the waiting room. As soon as the woman saw Darnell, she waved at him and said, “Excuse me, sir, I’ve been waiting here for a couple of minutes, and I’m not feeling well. Could you check me in?” Darnell smiled and checked her in, asking her to have a seat in the waiting room and telling her that he would make sure she was not waiting any longer than necessary. During this patient encounter, Janine turned and gestured that she would be just another minute. Another person stepped up to the counter, holding lab orders and an insurance card. Darnell started checking this person in, too. While photocopying the insurance card, Darnell whispered, “Janine, get off of the phone. I have my own job to do.” Janine frowned, put her hand over the phone, and said, “I’m on the phone with my kids!
