Essay #2 Choose one of the following topics and write an essay of 1,000+ words (4 typed double-spaced pages) on that topic. Staple this assignment sheet at the very back of your essay package along with brainstorming, outlining, prewriting, etc. (The assignment sheet always goes at the very bottom, last. You will later staple revisions forms and new drafts on top of this original draft and under the revision.) Topic #1: Many observers think th at today’s young people are the most narcissistic generation in history. Digital Natives seem to be all about “me,” “me,” “me.” Write an essay in which you argue that today’s generation is worrisomely narcissistic – or not. Explain why you think so. Defi ne or explain what “narcissism” means to you. Of course, we are not talking about “clinical narcissism,” which is a kind of disease. We are just discussing selfish and self -centered behavior. What is too much? Taking and posting lots of pictures of oneself or one’s meals or activities? Writing personal blogs about one’s life? Detailing one’s life on social media? When does this become counterproductive? Or, does it ever become counterproductive? Topic #2: Almost everyone these days uses the internet for something. Write an essay on how serious you think the loss of privacy from using the internet is. First give a list of how we are losing our privacy and then give examples. Cite the video clips we watched. Points to keep in mind: 1) This is an academic essay. You must use MLA style and format . You can use “I” but you must use formal language. 2) You must have a thesis statement and you must support your thesis statement with general claims and specific examples . 3) You must have a separate Works Cited page. 4) You must cite a minimum of two (2) sources . You may cite more. You may cite material from other sources – books, newspapers, magazines, movies, CDs, etc., (as long as you document them properly in your essay and the Works Cited Page). Use direct quotes sparingly, only when the original author says it in the best way. Otherwise, paraphrase or summarize. 5) When you do cite something from the text, give a page number indicating where you got the information for all three kinds of citations: direct quotes, paraphrases, and summarizations. 6) When you do use a direct quote, introduce it first , tell us who wrote and in what context, and then after giving us the quote, tell us what it means in your argument. [P.I.E.] 7) You can use “I” and mention personal experiences, but leave out “I believe”, “I truly feel”, “I think”, “in my opinion”, and similar phrases. Remember you are trying to persuade your reader. 8) Keep your reader in mind at all times: it is someone outside our class who (probably) has not read the readings we have read, so introduce each writer/text before citing them. .

Formal Academic Critique You will be writing a formal academic critique. When you write a critique, you are providing the reader with a detailed analysis or assessment of a piece of work. Formal critiques identify the author’s thesis or purpose and evaluate the author on his or her effectiveness in matching the purpose. In a well-developed and carefully constructed essay of 3-4 pages, you will analyze either the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of one of the following three arguments: OPTIONS (1) Marcel Zentner’s “Men want Beauty, Women want Wealth, and other Unscientific Tosh” (2) Mark Hughes’ “Banning Netflix, Amazon from Festivals and Awards is Wrong” (3) Lenore Skenazy and Jonathan Haidt’s “The Fragile Generation” The purpose of this essay is to provide a thorough analysis of the chosen author’s work. The audience would be someone in the class or another college student; in other words, you are trying to show them how the author’s essay is either effective or not and why or why not.

A successful essay will: · Conform to APA guidelines · Include all elements of a formal critique (introduction, summary, evaluation, and conclusion) · Have a clear, well-developed, thought-provoking thesis · Be organized logically and coherently · Avoid using first- and second-person personal pronouns (I, you, me, we, us, etc.) · Demonstrate smooth transitions between paragraphs · Refrain from getting caught in the recap trap; make sure to offer your own original ideas. When utilizing other people’s ideas, be sure to properly cite and credit them! · Be relatively free of mechanical and grammatical errors Additional requirements for research essays: · Your argument must be supported (use direct quotations/paraphrases with correct APA parenthetical citations from your chosen essay) · You must have an APA style reference page with one entry for your chosen article · Do not use a quotation over 40 words/three typed lines in length · Be objective – avoid biased and sexist language Week 1 - Assignment Query Article for the Final Feature Article For this week’s assignment, you will write a query letter to be presented with your specific ideas for the Final Feature Article.

Thanks!!! Just worry about the highlighted yellow…..highlighted red is for my use!! Discussion : Minimum of 300 words What do you think about when you hear the word civilization? Do we really need it in order to survive and prosper on this planet? The real question is whether we can live above subsistence without the technological innovations that densely populated settlements generate. Moreover, the question is not as frivolous as it may seem at first glance. Many cultures throughout human history consciously decided not to take the route toward nucleated settlements and the resultant consequences. The Celts represent one example from the time line of our course of a people who preferred not to have cities. The Avars, a Turkic-speaking people from Central Asia, were pastoral nomads who acquired cities during the course of their conquests, yet they used cities in ways that would strike average city dwellers as most strange. Define civilization in your own words, based on your understanding of the nine characteristics commonly associated with civilizations presented in Section 2.1 of your textbook, World history: The human experience to 1500. Choose one society from the Week 1 Civilization Tour (Links to an external site.) Links to an external site. , which includes Mesopotamian, Olmec, Egyptian, Harappan, and Ancient Chinese societies. Based on at least two of the characteristics listed in Section 2.1, explain why your chosen society can be considered a civilization. Provide specific examples drawn from this week’s learning materials to support your claims. Cite and format all sources according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.) Links to an external site. , using both in-text citations and providing full references at the bottom of your post. Your initial post should be a minimum of 300 words, due on Day 3.

Students will write a response to each journal prompt below. Please address the entire prompt and make sure to thoroughly elaborate on the examples discussed. Your journal entries should be well organized, well-structured, and well-written. College-level writing is expected for this assignment. Upload as ONE document, with three separate journal entries. Due May 17th, 11:50 pm. Format: This assignment is to be typed using Times New Roman, 12-point font. The document should be double spaced and have 1-inch margins all around. Each journal response should be between 1-1½ pages. The paper should have a title page, and use ASA (American Sociological Association) reference style – if you use citations in your journals. ASA Style Guide (Links to an external site.) Each journal is worth 33.33 points. Journal #1, Chapter 1 and Coronavirus Define and describe the sociological imagination. Using the concept of the sociological imagination, discuss how our society’s response to the Coronavirus pandemic is shaping your life (remember, it is society’s response to the Coronavirus that is shaping our lives, not only the virus itself*). Please address the economy, education, media, and/or family (choose two). *Imagine living 1000 years ago: The virus itself may not have spread as rapidly since (most) people did not live in large urban areas. The virus would not have spread across the entire world because there was not regular contact (through travel, commerce, etc.) between different countries or societies. People sick with the virus who needed respirator would not be in the hospital using a respirator because there were no hospitals or respirators. People would not have been getting information on the virus through the media, because there was no mass media. The social world affects the spread of the virus and how society responds to the virus. Journal #2, Social Class, Race-Ethnicity and Coronavirus Drawing from Chapters 7 & 8 AND a newspaper article or news story of your choice (from a credible source like the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, Fox, CNN, etc. – make sure to provide a citation of your source) discuss how and why social class and/or racial-ethnic inequality are shaping the Coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. (You may focus on social class or race-ethnicity, or you may focus on both social class and race-ethnicity. You may focus on a specific U.S. city or state or the entire nation). Journal #3, Theory and Coronavirus Drawing from any chapter you would like, discuss the major tenets of functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. Discuss which theory you find the most helpful in understanding the spread of the Coronavirus and our society’ response to the virus? *Hint: Chapter 1 provides an overview of the three theories ...

The purpose of this assignment is to have you perform a critique of the way gender operates/is communicated/is enforced in an event that is happening in our lives. Pick something CONTEMPORARY from the newspaper, TV, or social media and make an argument about what type of gendered communication is occurring in the “story.” Use the book to support your claims about that which you are analyzing. Explain your position by backing up your claims with scholarly evidence and use articles from the BCC library (2 scholarly articles). The goal is to convince the reader to adopt your perspective about the gendered communication. What is this “story” telling us about the larger discourses surrounding power, gender, race, class, ability, etc? For this assignment you will be evaluated on your writing skills, your attention to persuasive appeals, and your use of evidence (focusing on particular parts of the “story” and relating them back to the theory from the book and external articles). This assignment will be 1,000 words and should contain an introduction, body, conclusion, a cover page and reference page all in APA, and will combine knowledge of all concepts discussed this semester. .

Most patients with mental health disorders are not aggressive. However, it is important for nurses to be able to know the signs and symptoms associated with the five phases of aggression, and to appropriately apply nursing interventions to assist in treating aggressive patients. Please read the case study below and answer the four questions related to it. Aggression Case Study Christopher, who is 14 years of age, was recently admitted to the hospital for schizophrenia. He has a history of aggressive behavior and states that the devil is telling him to kill all adults because they want to hurt him. Christopher has a history of recidivism and noncompliance with his medications. One day on the unit, the nurse observes Christopher displaying hypervigilant behaviors, pacing back and forth down the hallway, and speaking to himself under his breath. As the nurse runs over to Christopher to talk, he sees that his bedroom door is open and runs into his room and shuts the door. The nurse responds by attempting to open the door, but Christopher keeps pulling the door shut and tells the nurse that if the nurse comes in the room he will choke the nurse. The nurse responds by calling other staff to assist with the situation. 1. What phase of the aggression cycle is Christopher in at the beginning of this scenario? What phase is he in at the end the scenario? (State the evidence that supports your answers). 2. What interventions could have been implemented to prevent Christopher from escalating at the beginning of the scenario? 3. What interventions should the nurse take to deescalate the situation when Christopher is refusing to open his door? 4. If a restrictive intervention (restraint/seclusion) is used, what are some important steps for the nurse to remember? .

“Mrs. Walsh, a woman in her 70s, was in critical condition after repeat coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Her family lived nearby when Mrs. Walsh had her first CABG surgery. They had moved out of town but returned to our institution, where the first surgery had been performed successfully. Mrs. Walsh remained critically ill and unstable for several weeks before her death. Her family was very anxious because of Mrs. Walsh’s unstable and deteriorating condition, and a family member was always with her 24 hours a day for the first few weeks. The nurse became involved with this family while Mrs. Walsh was still in surgery, because family members were very anxious that the procedure was taking longer than it had the first time and made repeated calls to the critical care unit to ask about the patient. The nurse met with the family and offered to go into the operating room to talk with the cardiac surgeon to better inform the family of their mother’s status. One of the helpful things the nurse did to assist this family was to establish a consistent group of nurses to work with Mrs. Walsh, so that family members could establish trust and feel more confident about the care their mother was receiving. This eventually enabled family members to leave the hospital for intervals to get some rest. The nurse related that this was a family whose members were affluent, educated, and well informed, and that they came in prepared with lists of questions. A consistent group of nurses who were familiar with Mrs. Walsh’s particular situation helped both family members and nurses to be more satisfied and less anxious. The family developed a close relationship with the three nurses who consistently cared for Mrs. Walsh and shared with them details about Mrs. Walsh and her life. The nurse related that there was a tradition in this particular critical care unit not to involve family members in care. She broke that tradition when she responded to the son’s and the daughter’s helpless feelings by teaching them some simple things that they could do for their mother. They learned to give some basic care, such as bathing her. The nurse acknowledged that involving family members in direct patient care with a critically ill patient is complex and requires knowledge and sensitivity. She believes that a developmental process is involved when nurses learn to work with families. She noted that after a nurse has lots of experience and feels very comfortable with highly technical skills, it becomes okay for family members to be in the room when care is provided. She pointed out that direct observation by anxious family members can be disconcerting to those who are insecure with their skills when family members ask things like, “Why are you doing this? Nurse ‘So and So’ does it differently.” She commented that nurses learn to be flexible and to reset priorities. They should be able to let some things wait that do not need to be done right away to give the family some.

MSN 5550 Health Promotion: Prevention of Disease Case Study Module 2 Instructions: Read the following case study and answer the reflective questions. Please provide rationales for your answers. Make sure to provide a citation for your answers. Deadline: CASE STUDY: An Older Immigrant Couple: Mr. and Mrs. Arahan Mr. and Mrs. Arahan, an older couple in their seventies, have been living with their oldest daughter, her husband of 15 years, and their two children, ages 12 and 14. They all live in a middle-income neighborhood in a suburb of a metropolitan city. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan are both college educated and worked full-time while they were in their native country. In addition, Mr. Arahan, the only offspring of wealthy parents, inherited a substantial amount of money and real estate. Their daughter came to the United States as a registered nurse and met her husband, a drug company representative. The older couple moved to the United States when their daughter became a U.S. citizen and petitioned them as immigrants. Since the couple was facing retirement, they welcomed the opportunity to come to the United States. The Arahans found life in the United States different from that in their home country, but their adjustment was not as difficult because both were healthy and spoke English fluently. Most of their time was spent taking care of their two grandchildren and the house. As the grandchildren grew older, the older couple found that they had more spare time. The daughter and her husband advanced in their careers and spent a great deal more time at their jobs. There were few family dinners during the week. On weekends, the daughter, her husband, and their children socialized with their own friends. The couple began to feel isolated and longed for a more active life. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan began to think that perhaps they should return to the home country, where they still had relatives and friends. However, political and economic issues would have made it difficult for them to live there. Besides, they had become accustomed to the way of life in the United States with all the modern conveniences and abundance of goods that were difficult to obtain in their country. However, they also became concerned that they might not be able to tolerate the winter months and that minor health problems might worsen as they aged. They wondered who would take care of them if they became very frail and where they would live, knowing that their daughter had only saved money for their grandchildren’s college education. They expressed their sentiments to their daughter, who became very concerned about how her parents were feeling. This older couple had been attending church on a regular basis, but had never been active in other church-related activities. The church bulletin announced the establishment of parish nursing with two retired registered nurses as volunteers. The couple attended the first opening of the parish clinic. Here, they met one of the registered nur.

GOOD LUCK! Geely to build satellites for self-driving cars - Financial Times (US), 3/4... https://digital.olivesoftware.com/Olive/ODN/FTUS/PrintArticle.aspx?d... Automobiles CHRISTIAN SHEPHERD — BEIJING Geely is aiming to be the first China carmaker to design and build satellites to support its autonomous driving programme, the latest step by founder Li Shufu in his bid to build an industry leader. Geely, which owns Swedish brand Volvo Cars, Malaysia’s Proton, and a stake in Mercedes-Benz owner Daimler, will invest Rmb2.27bn ($325m) in a new development centre and factory to manufacture satellites this year, the company said yesterday. The announcement makes Geely the first known Chinese carmaker with plans to build its own satellites. Mr Li’s move sparked comparisons in China media with Elon Musk, founder of electric carmaker Tesla and private space exploration company SpaceX. Last month Geely drew comparisons with Volkswagen when Mr Li’s holding group announced plans to merge Geely Automobile and Volvo Cars, moving the company towards becoming the first global Chinese carmaker. Che Jun, Communist party boss of China’s eastern Zhejiang province, where Geely is based, said that the complex would be built in Taizhou city and that construction had begun. The centre will design, test and manufacture low-orbit communication satellites, purpose-built to improve geolocation of vehicles and to support their connected functions, Geely said. Geely has been pouring money into new technologies from self-driving cars to flying taxis, spending Rmb20bn on research and development in the past year. The investments are part of the group’s spend on global expansion, such as buying a $9bn stake in Daimler. The announcement comes as the coronavirus outbre.

Motivations to Support Charity-Linked Events After Exposure to Facebook Appeals: Emotional Cause Identification and Distinct Self-Determined Regulations Kaspar Schattke Université du Québec à Montréal Ronald Ferguson and Michèle Paulin Concordia University Nonprofit organizations are increasingly dependent on the involvement of Millennial constituencies. Three studies investigated their motivations to support charity-linked events: emotional identification with a cause, self-determination theory (SDT) regulations, and context-related Facebook promotions. This article addresses the recent call to expand SDT research from a simple analysis of autonomous versus controlled motivation, to studying the effects of all the regulations in the SDT continuum, in particular, the inclusion of the tripartite dimensions of intrinsic motivation and integrated motivation. Results demonstrated that the greater the emotional identification with the cause, the stronger was the tendency to support the charity-linked event. Also, the results in these social media contexts revealed that specific intrinsic dimensions (e.g., experience stimulation) are motivators of online and offline support, as is the personal value nature of integrated regulation. Whereas only autonomous motivational regulations predicted support for the two events organized specifically a for charitable causes, both autonomous and controlled regulations predicted support of a for-profit event organized with a charitable cause as an adjunct. These findings can assist practitioners in designing more effective social media communications in support of charity-linked events. Keywords: social media, self-determination theory, integrated regulation, tripartite model of intrinsic motivation, charitable causes Supplemental materials: http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/mot0000085.supp Social media is a new domain offering excit- ing opportunities to investigate research questions in social psychology (Greitemeyer, 2011; Kende, Ujhelyi, Joinson, & Greitemeyer, 2015). Our research examined motivation to support charity-linked events of nonprofit organizations that are currently faced with increased compe- tition for resources and declining government support (Paulin, Ferguson, Jost, & Fallu, 2014; Reed, Aquino, & Levy, 2007; White & Peloza, 2009). Presently, they depend on an ageing set of traditional supporters (Urbain, Gonzalez, & Le Gall-Ely, 2013). However, their future suc- cess lies in ensuring the sustainable involvement of the Millennial generation (Fine, 2009), distinguished from other generations by their intense exposure at an early age to interactive technology and social media (Bolton et al., 2013). Facebook, the most detailed social media, is used primarily to maintain or solidify existing offline relationships allowing people to develop a public or semipublic profile and to emotion- ally participate with those whom they can share This article was published Online First December .

Monica asked that we meet to see if I could help to reduce the differences between them. When the time came, she started the conversation by saying that Richard wasn’t saving any money at all. They hadn’t started implementing. She said he spent a good deal of time buying and selling stocks. He seemed to be influenced by the weekly ups and downs of the market. At least temporarily, however, he had raised the quality of the stocks he was buying. Richard seemed a little annoyed and said that Monica never wanted to sell any securities. She almost always told him to wait. She said the shares would come back. When I asked what money meant to them, Richard said an opportunity to gamble and Monica replied a chance to lose what you’ve accumulated. As far as their long-term goals were concerned, Richard said he had no real long-term goals. The future was too fickle. He said who knew what fate had in store for them. Monica’s goal was to feel secure. I had the feeling that her remark was in response to Richard’s behavior. She wouldn’t allow herself to think of anything beyond security until Richard’s activities could be controlled. Case Application Questions 1. What should be done about Richard’s spending? 2. What kind of investment behavior is Richard demonstrating?What can be done about it? 3. What is Monica’s investment behavior called? How can it be helped? 4. Contrast their two views of money. Do you have any recommendations? 5. How can Monica’s fears be dealt with? .
