(Times New Roman, 12 pt. font, double spaced). A Works Cited page is required and does not count towards your number of pages. You are required to use 4 approved, academic references: 2 web based articles from credible sources, 1 printed book (This would be the novel 1984 ), and one primary source document. You may use more than 4 sources, although you must first meet the minimum requirements for types of sources. You must use all 4 sources in your final draft.

If you do not submit your paper to Classroom by 11:59 p.m. you will receive a zero. Extra help is available, please make an appointment. Essay Topics: The Loss of Individual Rights in 1984 : Personal privacy and space is never granted throughout 1984 . Every person is always subject to observation, even by their own family members and friends. Furthermore, since Big Brother is always watching and the Thought Police are always on the lookout, it is impossible for any kind of individualism to flourish. For this essay you can look at the ways this occurs and how various characters attempt (successfully or not) to subvert it. Then move out to consider how this lack of privacy (and by proxy, individualism) influences individuals and society as a whole in the present day. How does the present US Government subvert the rights of the individual and how does this compare to the novel? Fear of Technology : During WWII, technology was primarily developed for military purposes, specifically for the surveillance of the enemy. People are generally resistant to technology that they believe can be used against them. George Orwell’s novel 1984 plays on this inherent fear of technology. Discuss the role of technology in Oceania. In what areas is technology highly advanced, and in what areas has its progress stalled? Why? How is it used against the people? To control them? How does this reflect the human fear of technology during the time the novel was written? How does this fear carry over in the modern world? Is it valid? How can technology be used against the common man to violate individual rights? How does this compare to the novel? Historical Analysis :.

These are short answers to get you to think about design Note: You have to have watched both The Container and Things I Know to be True to do this assignment. Looking back on The Container, what type of stage space was it? Hint, it is not one of the 4 traditional types of theatres and how does the set designer play a role when one chooses this type of space. For The Container - look on DTP and go to the bottom of the page where they list artists credits, who was the set designer for this production (Note: in Europe many times one person designs multiple elements and then is listed simply as Designer vs Scene Designer)? Things I Know to be True , who is the set, lighting, costume and sound designers. Please list name and titles Pick one character from The Container or Things I Know to be True and analyze the costume, discuss the elements of costuming, (line, color, etc) and how it tells a story or represents the character in that production. Compare the lighting between The Container and Things I Know to be True. As you know from watching them, because of the theatre space decisions they are vastly difference. Look at realistism verse non realism. You can analyze color, direction, etc. How is the sound design different between The Container and Things I Know to be True ? Sound effects, music and underscoring? How does sound play a role in these productions? .

These are some ideas I came up with from the stories “Sweat” by Zora Neale Hurston from Carol Oates, Joyce, Ed. The Oxford Book of American Short Stories. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1992. “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid from Charters, Ann, Ed. The Story and its Writer: An Introduction to Short Fiction. 6th Ed. Boston: Bedford/St. Martin’s, 2003. Brainstorm: Fill in the prompts below as needed and copy/paste into the box of your BLOG entry. Essay #2Assignment: COMPARE and CONTRAST: “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid and “Sweat” by Zora Neale Hurston In a 3 page essay COMPARE/CONTRAST two of the pieces above to develop a strong claim. The point of a compare/contrast essay is not to simply list similarities and differences between the two stories but to find a strong piece of insight that wouldn’t have been achieved if the two stories had been analyzed separately. To support your points, draw evidence from: · Source texts: Present evidence from both works. Quotes/Paraphrases/Summaries must be in “sandwich” form with an in-text citation to make a clear distinction between words/ideas in the text and your commentary/analysis. · Connections: Building off the in-class activity, how can you use the “text-to-self” or “text-to-text” connections to tell a story to prove a point through either a personal anecdote or real-world story? Brainstorm: Fill in the prompts below as needed and copy/paste into the box of your BLOG entry. For Essay #2, I am going to compare and contrast “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid with “Sweat” by Zora Neale Hurston Since I will introduce the titles/authors in my introduction, my thesis will focus on stating a clear main claim. With my essay, I am going to convince the reader to see that: (state your claim or thesis below) Thesis/ Main claim: Brainstorming 2-3 ideas for bold hooks that will grab the reader’s attention with the special sauce of my essay, they are: 1. 2. 3. 1.

These are questions and answers all of them have the right answers, I need you to paraphrase and shorten the answers as possible but not to lose the significant information. 2-Why do you suppose it is much easier to add tubulin to existing microtubules than to start a new microtubule from scratch? Explain how γ-tubulin in the centrosome helps to overcome this hurdle Two tubulin dimers have a lower affinity for each other (because of a more limited number of interaction sites) than a tubulin dimer has for the end of a microtubule (where there are multiple possible interaction sites, both end-to-end of tubulin dimers adding to a protofilament and side-to-side of the tubulin dimers interacting with tubulin subunits in adjacent protofilaments forming the ringlike cross section). Thus, to initiate a microtubule from scratch, enough tubulin dimers have to come together and remain bound to one another for long enough for other tubulin molecules to add to them. Only when a number of tubulin dimers have already assembled will the binding of the next subunit be favored. The formation of these initial “nucleating sites” is therefore rare and will not occur spontaneously at cellular concentrations of tubulin. Centrosomes contain preassembled rings of γ-tubulin (in which the γ-tubulin subunits are held together in much tighter side-to-side interactions than αβ-tubulin can form) to which αβ-tubulin dimers can bind. The binding conditions of αβ-tubulin dimers resemble those of adding to the end of an assembled microtubule. The γ-tubulin rings in the centrosome can therefore be thought of as permanently preassembled nucleation sites. 3- Dynamic instability causes microtubules either to grow or to shrink rapidly. Consider an individual microtubule that is in its shrinking phase. A. What must happen at the end of the microtubule in order for it to stop shrinking and to start growing again? The microtubule is shrinking because it has lost its GTP cap, i.e., the tubulin subunits at its end are all in their GDP-bound form. GTP-loaded tubulin subunits from solution will still add to this end, but they will be short-lived—either because they hydrolyze their GTP or because they fall off as the microtubule rim around them disassembles. If, however, enough GTP-loaded subunits are added quickly enough to cover up the GDPcontaining tubulin subunits at the microtubule end, a new GTP cap can form and regrowth is favored. B. How would a change in the tubulin concentration affect this switch? The rate of addition of GTP-tubulin will be greater at higher tubulin concentrations. The frequency with which shrinking microtubules switch to the growing mode will therefore increase with increasing tubulin concentration. The consequence of this regulation is that the system is self-balancing: the more microtubules shrink (resulting in a higher concentration of free tubulin), the more frequently microt.

You will also need to use at least 3 professional sources for this paper, and these should be listed on a separate Reference Page at the end of your paper. 2. In the first section of this 5 to 7 page double spaced paper, APA format (not including the title page and the Reference Page), list each characteristic from the paragraph above, and provide a definition of each (use 3 sources at least, for this information). 3. In the second section of this paper, describe what you can do to strengthen 3 characteristics within yourself. This will require some research, some careful self-reflection, self-awareness, and honesty. Include one goal behavior/action for each characteristic, that you will work to accomplish within the next 3 to 6 months. Be very specific. The more specific you can be about each goal (ie: what will this require of you, within yourself, and what you will do to "get there" on each one. Discuss your goal in terms of your strengths and weaknesses, and how these will impact your being successful in meeting your goal. See below the 9 characteristics that need to be listed in the paper. This information can also be found in the textbook: The World of a counselor: Introduction to the counselors Profession by E. Neukrug, 2016 10th edition; Chapter 1: The Counselor’s Identity what who and how. Please be sure to use the textbook along with 3 other professional resources. Characteristics of the Effective Helper In 1952, Hans Eysenck examined 24 uncontrolled studies that looked at the effectiveness of counseling and psychotherapy and found that “roughly two-thirds of a group of neurotic patients will recover or improve to a marked extent within about two years of the onset of their illness, whether they are treated by means of psychotherapy or not [italics added]” (p. 322). Although found to have serious methodological flaws, Eysenck’s research did lead to debate concerning the effectiveness of counseling and resulted in hundreds of studies that came to some very different conclusions, such as the following: It is a safe conclusion that as a general class of healing practices, psychotherapy is remarkably effective. In clinical trials, psychotherapy results in benefits for patients that far exceed those for patients who do not get psychotherapy. Indeed, psychotherapy is more effective than many commonly used evidence-based medical practices.…( Wampold , 2010a, pp. 65–66) But what makes counseling effective?

These 2 cases need to be in a legal brief format that is attached. In 1988, in Louisiana Association of Educators v. Edward , the Louisiana Supreme Court held that the Legislature has the exclusive authority to determine how much money would be appropriated for the public education system and that the school funding formula, developed by the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, provides for the equitable distribution of the money the Legislature chooses to appropriate. In Berry v. Pastorek in 2011, the U.S. District Court denied the State defendants’ motion to dismiss. Plaintiffs had claimed that as a result of education “reform” in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina, thousands of students with disabilities were not receiving an education, in violation of the federal Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA), Rehabilitation Act, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The parties negotiated a Consent Judgment, which the Court approved in 2015. Implementation is ongoing. .

there’s a line in Shakespeare’s Coriolanus (which isn’t worth looking up for present purposes), “His nature is too noble for the world.” Some people who regard themselves as “realists” seem to believe that the projects of international law and human rights are too noble—or too vapidly “idealistic”—for today’s international world. Yet the world has more international law, as well as far more talk of human rights, than it did a century ago. What role can international law and human rights talk play in today’s world—and what are the things that limit their force? .

There were several important themes about policy making. Here are a few quotes: “Policy-making and its subsequent implementation is necessary to deal with societal problems.” (Janssen, 2015) “Policy-making is driven by the need to solve societal problems and should result in interventions to solve these societal problems.” (Janssen, 2015) "Examples of societal problems are unemployment, pollution, water quality, safety, criminality, well-being, health, and immigration.” (Janssen, 2015). Question: Select one of below developments and describe how that development can influence policy to solve a specific problem. (It should be in APA format, in-text citation, 500 words and references).
