Primary Source Analysis Paper Instructions for Primary Source Analysis Primary Source Analysis due: 6 March (worth 15%) primary-source-analysis-rubric Primary sources are sources created in the historical period being researched and by historical actors themselves. (Contrast this with secondary sources, which are after-the-fact scholarly analyses of the past.) For this assignment, you will submit to me a 2-3 page analysis of that source along with instructions as to how I can access your source (or a copy of the source attached to your essay). PLEASE NOTE: You must incorporate a tertiary source and at least one secondary source to substantiate your analysis. Keep in mind that primary sources can come in many forms. They can be maps, diaries, letters, memoirs, newspaper articles, government documents, posters, pamphlets, photographs, advertisements, paintings, films, novels, songs—just to name a few. If your source comes in a non-textual form (such as a film), please submit it to me in the form appropriate for its genre (such as a video or DVD, etc.). The purpose of this assignment is to work on how to analyze a primary source. Your goal is to analyze your source excerpt as deeply and as thoroughly as possible. Do not simply provide a general summary or overview of your source. Think concretely and critically about its content, its historical context, the historical cultural values that shape it, and its relevance to your research. What are the author’s tone, style, and argument? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Read between the lines to discover its biases and assumptions. Depending on the nature of the primary source you select, the source may be as short as a paragraph or two or as long as dozens of pages. In structuring your Primary Source Analysis Essay, you should address the following questions. Do not simply list answers to the questions below. Rather, you must write your paper in essay form. It should have an introduction, several body paragraphs, and a conclusion. You do not need to address the questions in order, but be sure that you address the questions that are relevant to your source in your essay. Your essay must be a polished piece of writing. I will grade it for both content and style. Basic Identification 1. What type of source is it? (newspaper article, map, letter, film, etc.) 2. When was it created? 3. Where was it created? 4. Who created it? Author’s Intent 1. What is the author’s place in society? (profession, status, class, gender, ethnicity, etc.) 2. How might the factors listed in the question above shape the author’s perspective in this source? 3. Why do you think the author created this source? 4. Does the author have an argument?

Primary Discussion Response is due by Friday (11:59:59pm Central), Peer Responses are due by Tuesday (11:59:59pm Central). Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas. In 1944, finance specialists and bankers from around the world met to discuss what the post-WWII monetary system would be. Given the instability of the pre-war period, the goal was to create a new system. The outcome of this was the Bretton Woods system, which had the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency linked to gold at $35 an ounce. All other currencies were tied to the dollar with limits on how much they could appreciate or depreciate. The system lasted until the 1970s, when the United States decided to move away from gold convertibility. The modern system is based on supply and demand for currency and a managed float. Discuss the following in your main post: The U.S. dollar remains the world's reserve currency. Is this good for the United States, and if so, why? People usually think a "strong" dollar is good. Is this true for U.S. businesses, and does it help or hurt the U.S. balance of payments? Responses to Other Students: Respond to at least 2 of your fellow classmates with at least a 100-word reply about their Primary Task Response regarding items you found to be compelling and enlightening. To help you with your discussion, please consider the following questions: Do you agree or disagree with your peers findings? Where are there similarities or differences within the class discussion? Are there particular considerations/ideas that particularly stand out? .

Previous Next Adjust automatic marking as read setting Webster dictionary gave a number of definitions of ‘Ritual’: “a system of rites, a Ceremonial act or action, a customarily repeated often formal act or series of acts”. In our everyday dealings there are different forms of actions taken that are repetitive but cannot be classified as symbolic eg, bathing, sleeping, and eating. However, if we kneel, and say a particular word of prayer and make the sign of the cross before doing any one of the above routinely, then that can be considered a ritual because it can be decoded as symbolic to the Catholic religion, and to other observers as a way of devotion. There are some symbolic rituals associated with health practiced by various cultures. In the Catholic Church the sprinkling of Holy water by the priest and burning of incense during Eucharistic prayers is believed to ward off evil spirit, and promote good health and everything progressive for the congregation. The vestment of the priest, the setup of the altar and the arrangement of the pews are symbols of a place of worship. The prayers said at every mass are rituals and members believe attending mass keeps them in good health, and good standing in life. So it is with other religious practices. As stated by Wintz, S., and Cooper, E. (2009), Islamic religious beliefs are based on five principles: “shahadatain (declaration of faith), Salat (prayer/worship), zakat (charitable contribution), sawn (fasting), hajj (pilgrimage to mecca)”, are all the five principles that require some degree of rituals to perform them. In health matters, doctors are seen as helpers of God’s will, so they are not restricted in the course of treatment, (p.21-22). As a child I remember my maternal grandmother had a large clay pot with water in it at a corner of her living room; decorated with white/red colored cloths, and figurines like a shrine, where every morning as traditional worshipper, she said her prayers. We were never allowed to play close to the area. But the water from the pot which she drank she gave us to drink too when we visited. She believed it promoted good health and good luck in life. I cannot say for sure if those deeds worked, but she lived to be 103years before she died in 1978. In the hospitals as described by Helman, C., (2007), the white coat worn by the doctors and other health professionals are symbolic, and the stethoscope used for checking blood pressure and other vitals are the rituals, performed to diagnose illness or certify clean bill of health. So many instruments, computers, hi-technology machines, the arrangement of the doctor’s consulting room, are all symbolic rituals associated to health and illness (p.227). For a patient who is certified ill; all these could symbolize healing, or may signify death, especially for the elderly. The process of getting admitted as illustrated by (Helman), is how a sick person goes through some rituals, such as being stripped of their social statu.

Presentation Title: The Behavior Impact of DUI Laws and Sanctions Research Focus: Deterrence and Social Control Theories Abstract: Determining whether legal sanctions administered by the judicial court system or by local law enforcements are effectively designed to reduce, discourage and/or deter people from driving while impaired. There are various studies that provide conflicting arguments on whether driving laws have been a successful strategy in deterring drinking and driving behavior. Deterrence theories are based on the assumption that the perception and probability of certain severe punishment discourages people from illegal activities. Deterrence theory assumes that law breaking is inversely related to the severity of punishment. Further, it is the deterrence model ideology that law enforcement entities depend on to reduce DUI/DWI’s. The social control theory expands on the deterrence model to incorporate social influences. According to this theory drinking laws are only one of many factors that influence DUI behavior. Social stigma and perceived risk in committing the crime also play a part in discouraging this type of behavior. Although there has been little research conducted examining both deterrence and social control theories and the impact on DUI behavior proponents for these theories believe that innate makeup of these two ideologies are effective enough to modify a person’s .
