The State and LocalParty Organizationscentury ago, man.docx
The passage describes the rise and fall of powerful local political party machines in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These machines dominated city governments by controlling nominations, rewarding supporters with jobs and favors, and mobilizing large numbers of immigrant voters. However, most machines declined by the 1960s-1970s due to reform movements, racial tensions, and a loss of power in some cities. At their peak, machines provided jobs, services, and other benefits to newcomers in exchange for political loyalty and votes to control city governments.
The standard way to conduct quantitative content analyses prescribes.docx
The standard way to conduct quantitative content analyses prescribes that the main researcher should ideally train other people, called “coders”, to “code” the media content the researcher is interested in analyzing in their study. In other words, ideally the main researcher trains other people how to record numerical information about the media content being studied. Why is this a necessary step in content analyses? Why not just have the main researcher “code” the media messages themselves? And relatedly, if there is more than one “coder” analyzing media content in a study, what is the purpose of collecting intercoder reliability data? What does intercoder reliability data do for the main researcher and their findings?

The Stages of Change The stages of change are Preconte.docx
The Stages of Change
The stages of change are:
Precontemplation (Not yet acknowledging that there is a problem behavior that needs to
be changed)
Contemplation (Acknowledging that there is a problem but not yet ready or sure of
wanting to make a change)
Preparation/Determination (Getting ready to change)
Action/Willpower (Changing behavior)
Maintenance (Maintaining the behavior change) and
Relapse (Returning to older behaviors and abandoning the new changes)
Stage One: Precontemplation
In the precontemplation stage, people are not thinking seriously about changing and are not
interested in any kind of help. People in this stage tend to defend their current bad habit(s) and do
not feel it is a problem. They may be defensive in the face of other people’s efforts to pressure
them to quit.
They do not focus their attention on quitting and tend not to discuss their bad habit with others. In
AA, this stage is called “denial,” but at Addiction Alternatives, we do not like to use that term.
Rather, we like to think that in this stage people just do not yet see themselves as having a
problem.
Are you in the precontemplation stage? No, because the fact that you are reading this shows that
you are already ready to consider that you may have a problem with one or more bad habits.
(Of course, you may be reading this because you have a loved one who is still in the pre-
contemplation stage. If this is the case, keep reading for suggestions about how you can help
others progress through their stages of change)
Stage Two: Contemplation
In the contemplation stage people are more aware of the personal consequences of their bad
habit and they spend time thinking about their problem. Although they are able to consider the
possibility of changing, they tend to be ambivalent about it.
In this stage, people are on a teeter-totter, weighing the pros and cons of quitting or modifying
their behavior. Although they think about the negative aspects of their bad habit and the positives
associated with giving it up (or reducing), they may doubt that the long-term benefits associated
with quitting will outweigh the short-term costs.
It might take as little as a couple weeks or as long as a lifetime to get through the contemplation
stage. (In fact, some people think and think and think about giving up their bad habit and may die
never having gotten beyond this stage)
On the plus side, people are more open to receiving information about their bad habit, and more
likely to actually use educational interventions and reflect on their own feelings and thoughts
concerning their bad habit.
Stage Three: Preparation/Determination
In the preparation/determination stage, people have made a commitment to make a change.
Their motivation for changing is reflected by statements such as: “I’ve got to do something about
this — this is serious. Something has to change. What can I do?”
This is sort of a .

Introduction Chapter 4
4.1 Introduction
In Chapter 1, we defined management as the process that consists of a collection of techniques
used to lead the human resources in an organization to become productive. Notice that a key
element of that definition is the human resource component. The people who work in an organi-
zation are its most valuable resource, because they convert raw materials into finished products
and services, which help generate profits for the business. People also design products and make
decisions about when and how products and services are distributed to maximize organizational
effectiveness. People are often the most valuable asset of the organization. At the same time,
people can be the most expensive part of running a business and often pose the greatest chal-
lenges to effective management (Mathis & Jackson, 1997).

Zappos.com—Strategic Staffing
Shoe stores lose one out of every three sales because the customer’s size is not in stock. This factor
explains some of the success and growth of online shoe sales. The online shoe market share has
reached over $3 billion. Zappos.com, which is an adaptation of the Spanish word for “shoe,” has
captured a 20% share of the overall shoe market. The organization has moved into sales of various
products beyond footwear, increasing sales and market awareness. New product lines include cloth-
ing, electronics, and accessories.
Nick Swinmurn founded Zappos.com in 1999 after spending a day walking in a mall looking for a
pair of shoes and being unable to find the pair he wanted. His first business concept was to create
an inventory so large that the odds of the customer finding exactly the right pair would be very
high. Zappos.com now maintains more than 4 million pairs of shoes in its inventory. The Zappos.
com business model dictates that key customer contacts are made via the phone center. If a cus-
tomer cannot locate the exact pair of shoes he or she wants, the center’s service representative will
direct the person to two or three other companies that might have the item. Each phone operator
is required to exhibit a consistently friendly, upbeat, and helpful demeanor. Zappos.com represents
a prime example of a company that
effectively completes the staffing
function. The overall mission for the
organization combines employee sat-
isfaction with customer satisfaction.

Rome After People
The Roman Empire had its continuation in the east as the Byzantine Empire. But in the west, Europe was shattered by the destruction of Roman institutions. It literally crumbled as people vacated the dying or destroyed urban centers and fled to the country and simpler rural lifeways.
In onsite classes, I like to show the History Channel program called Life After People to demonstrate what it must have felt like to watch a sophisticated complex urban civilization devolve back to nature in the post-classical era. It uses Computer-Generated Imaging to show that, in a scenario where people are removed, time destroys the icons of our complex industrial civilization. Vines tear apart skyscrapers and algae clogs Hoover Dam. The lights go out and nature and wildlife cover the urban landscape.You can rent or stream this video from Netflix.
Rome’s collapse sent Europe backward into a simpler, non-urbanized period. Imagine all the complexities of urban life that we’ve discussed – diversified roles, complex religions and rituals, and levels of classism from elites to slaves – falling apart. The population of the City of Rome itself was reduced from about 1 million to around 10,000.
Without slaves and overseers to maintain baths, theaters, aqueducts and other public amenities of urban Roman life all over Europe, these structures and the customs associated with them fell to ruin. Even literacy and theoretical knowledge fell by the wayside. Historians called it the “Dark Ages” because of an absence of writing from this period to “illuminate” for us what happened then.
Janet Abu-Lughod in her book, Before European Hegemony, paints a picture of Europe as a virtual backwater in the post-classical period. Not so the rest of the Old World! Trade and commerce, exchange of ideas, language, and culture, and a steady stream of.

The St. Clare Hospital was founded in 1988. In the past few years, t.docx
The St. Clare Hospital was founded in 1988. In the past few years, the revenues have dropped steadily to a point where CEO James Edwards is considering cost control to improve the organization’s bottom line. Mr. Edwards understands physicians play a critical role in controlling cost, but they do not have a great interest in cooperating with him to sustain the viability of the hospital. Mr. Edwards decides to hire Wendy Jones as the chief operating officer and empower her to cut costs for the hospital.
The first measure taken by
Ms. Jones is to outsource the interpretation of imaging readings and fire the radiologist Dr. Harris. By doing so, the hospital would save $160,000 per year. However, after two weeks, the hospital sees 18% inaccuracy rates in outsourced reading reports. The hospital might face legal liabilities from inaccurate readings. Mr. Edwards and Ms. Jones want to stay with the plan to control costs, but the physicians are furious. The medical director, Dr. Wiseman, gathers all staff physicians to a call for action.
Write a four-to six-page double-spaced paper (excluding title and reference pages), addressing the following:
Describe types of conflict identified in this case.
Explain conflict management styles evidenced in this case.
Propose a conflict resolution strategy to be used.
Recommend strategies to reduce cost and legal liabilities.
Including an introduction and conclusion paragraph, your paper must be 5 spaced pages (excluding title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style
. Utilize a minimum of three scholarly and/or peer-reviewed sources, including the textbook, that were published within the last five years.

The Specificity Principle in Acculturation Science
Marc H. Bornstein
Child and Family Research, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development, National Institutes of Health, Public Health Service
Abstract
The Specificity Principle in Acculturation Science asserts that specific setting conditions of
specific people at specific times moderate specific domains in acculturation by specific processes.
Our understanding of acculturation depends critically on what is studied where, in whom, how,
and when. This article defines, explains, and illustrates the Specificity Principle in Acculturation
Science. Research hypotheses about acculturation can be more adequately tested, inconsistencies
and discrepancies in the acculturation literature can be satisfactorily resolved, acculturation
interventions can be tailored to be more successful, and acculturation policies can be brought to
new levels of effectiveness if the specificity principle that governs acculturation science is more
widely recognized.

The world is in motion. Throughout human history, people have been on the move, and
migration and acculturation have been facts of the human condition ever since peoples of the
African savannah radiated outward in their treks to new lands (Cann, Stoneking, & Wilson,
1987; Jin et al., 1999; Stringer, 1988). Polynesian expansion, Phoenician trade, Jewish
diaspora, Persian realm, Alexandrian conquest, Roman hegemony, Hun invasion, Umayyad
caliphate, Viking settlement, Ifat sultanate, Hanseatic league, and Columbian exchange
illuminate the history of successive intercultural contacts, just as, beginning 23 centuries BC
with Sargon’s expansion of Akkad across the Fertile Crescent, Egyptian, Kushite, Aksumite,
Ottoman, Inca, Mongol, Songhai, Moghul, Napoleonic, and British empires—all
intercultural permeations—followed one another inexorably. Indeed, human beings have not
ceased migrating even though virtually all habitable places on earth have long since been
settled.
It comes as little surprise, then, that migration and acculturation are global concerns in our
own time. Everywhere one looks, the numbers stun. What in 1990 was 154 million and in
2000 175 million, the United Nations (U.N.) Population Division reported that as of 2015
nearly 245 million people live outside the country of their birth or citizenship. That
translates into roughly 1 in every 30 people on the face of the globe (United Nations, 2016).

The special education resource teacher is trying to quiet an agitate.docx
The special education resource teacher is trying to quiet an agitated student in the library. The student is so out of control that he turns over his chair and throws a book from the shelf at the resource teacher. The resource teacher is struck in the head by the book. The regular education teacher attempts to restore calmness by slamming a large paperweight onto a table. The teacher has to remove the student from the library due to his uncontrollable behavior. The regular education teacher holds onto the student’s upper arm to guide him out of the library to a time-out area designated for this type of behavior. The student yells derogatory remarks at the teacher and tells her she will be sued. The next day, the parents of the student contacts the school administration and school resource officer with a report of child abuse.
Decide if there is a possible tort law liability and who might be liable? Next, propose an alternate way to resolve the situation above to avoid possible tort law liability.

The Sony Pictures Entertainment Hack The Problem On .docx
The Sony Pictures Entertainment Hack
The Problem
On November 24, 2014, a hacker group called the “Guardians of Peace” or
GOP successfully attacked Sony Pictures Entertainment (www.sonypictures.com;
SPE). The attackers obtained personally identifiable information about 47,000
current and former SPE employees and their dependents. These materials included
numerous sensitive e-mails among top SPE executives concerning actors, financial
deals, and creative disagreements; executive salaries; and complete copies of
unreleased Sony films. The information included names, addresses, social security
numbers, driver's license numbers, passport numbers, bank account information,
credit card information used for corporate travel and expenses, usernames and
passwords, and compensation and other employment-related information. The
hackers claimed to have stolen more than 100 terabytes of data from SPE.
The GOP initially released the most damaging information over the Internet.
This information consisted of digital copies of SPE films that had been released (e.g.,
Fury) or were yet to be released (e.g., Annie). In addition, the attackers announced
they would continue to release more interesting SPE information.
Although the specific motives for the attack had not been revealed as of mid-
2016, the hack has been linked to the planned release of the SPE film The Interview.
In this movie, producers of a tabloid television show learn that North Korea's leader,
Kim Jong Un, is a big fan of the show, and they set up an interview with him. While
the show's team is preparing for the interview, the CIA recruits them to assassinate
Kim Jong Un.
Prior to the Sony hack, North Korean officials had expressed concerns about
the film to the United Nations. The officials stated that “to allow the production and
distribution of such a film on the assassination of an incumbent head of a sovereign
state should be regarded as the most undisguised sponsoring of terrorism as well as
an act of war.”
On December 16, 2014, the GOP mentioned The Interview by name, and they
threatened to take terrorist actions against the film's New York City premiere at
Sunshine Cinema on December 18. The GOP also threatened similar actions on the
film's America-wide release date of December 25 (Christmas).
On December 18, two messages allegedly from the GOP appeared. The first
claimed that the GOP would not release any further information if SPE agreed not to
release The Interview and to remove it completely from the Internet. The second
http://www.sonypictures.com/
stated that SPE had “suffered enough” and it could release the film, but only if Kim
Jong Un's death scene was not “too happy.”
In the aftermath of the attack, the studio was forced to use fax machines, to
communicate through hard-copy posted messages, and to pay its employees with
paper checks. Employees worked with pen and paper, and shops located on Sony
property accepted only cash.

The soul friendships” can be difficult to cultivate. As it sta.docx
The “soul friendships” can be difficult to cultivate. As it states in the chapter, they can take time to develop, but usually there is some sort of commonality between the two people in which the friendship can develop into one of the soul. The example in the chapter in which Mark Vernon uses for this is between Montaigne and La Boetie. Montaigne is said to state that individuals that are capable of soul friendship are rare and thus the soul friendship even rarer. He goes on to say that they are a force of destiny. However, Mark Vernon points out that the friendship in which Montaigne and La Boetie formed was based off of timing and the period in which the lived. Both had similar, and dangerous points of view for the time, so when the met their friendship already had a foundation to built upon. This is an important aspect for the development of a friendship of the soul because without some form of commonality in where mutual respect is given the friendship cannot develop into something deeper. The author also uses Emerson and Fuller as an example, even all Emerson uses the “phrase divine friendship.” When they firs met Emerson did not initially take a liking to her, however he soon had a great respect for her because of her mind. This then laid a common ground and mutual respect was able to form and then deepen into a friendship of the soul. I think it is important for friends of the soul to have a foundation of mutual respect, and by having this they are less inclined to be upset or the friendship failing when the other person is completely honest with them. In fact, that should be something that is welcomed, because they respect each other to such a degree that it goes beyond petty indifferences. I can say that I have one such friend, I may not call our friendship a “soul friendship” but it is close. I respect him and he respects me and we have always been able to be honest with each other. It is a friendship where, although there is still and element of self-loving, we can see past our differences and in a way that makes the friendship more meaningful. The reason I say this is that I can count on him to real me back in when I am being a little stubborn, or when I cannot see the truth of a matter because I am blinded by some emotion. The key to is to be honest and respectful and to understand that difference of opinions is what makes the friendship more than just someone I can be around and be polite to.

The song is black holes by the Renee Rosnes Quintet
Contemporary jazz reflects both its past and the current music scene in general. Some artists are more traditional and are attached to older styles, while others stretch jazz to a place that is not necessarily even recognizable to many as jazz. R&B styles and musical styles from around the world have become common as part of the jazz language. Though this kind of genre mixing has been around in jazz for a long time, jazz today has its own sound and styles.

The solutions you wrote for meDr Palmer and his staff are ups.docx
The solutions you wrote for me:
Dr Palmer and his staff are upset by the many security elements provided in the health record system. Instead of inactivating the security features, a possible solution for their upset is to allow the security system to go to sleep after 15 minutes of no operation. This way, if the system will not be accessed for a given period of time, it shall be redirected into idle mode and health records shall not be rendered into jeopardy. This solution is practical because it gives the working staff enough time to have a break and go back in a manageable time-frame without having to log out. The drawback of this solution is that, within the set time frame, an intruder can access the system and possibly expose patient records.
In addition of accessing the system through a username and a password, the system could be opened by fingerprint. This technique would only need an employee to place their respective finger in the identification system, then they would be granted full access to the system. The solution is practical since it will eradicate passwords and usernames granting the user simple and easy access to the system (Jamoom et al., 2013). The negative part of this solution is embedded on the cost of the finger-print system. In other words, every computer must be fitted with the system and this calls of additional costs. However, when all areas are put into consideration, I believe that this is the best solution for the problem. Simply, the fingerprint system will eliminate the tedious access of records through usernames and passwords. Furthermore, security of the system shall be increased since fingerprints cannot be leaked or copied like usernames and passwords.
a. Identify any areas of weakness within your chosen solution.
b. Identify hidden assumptions and beliefs you may harbor about your choice of solution.

The Sociological Imagination Chapter One The Promise C..docx
The Sociological Imagination
Chapter One: The Promise
C. Wright Mills (1959)
Nowadays people often feel that their private lives are a series of traps. They sense that within
their everyday worlds, they cannot overcome their troubles, and in this feeling, they are often
quite correct. What ordinary people are directly aware of and what they try to do are bounded by
the private orbits in which they live; their visions and their powers are limited to the close-up
scenes of job, family, neighborhood; in other milieux, they move vicariously and remain
spectators. And the more aware they become, however vaguely, of ambitions and of threats
which transcend their immediate locales, the more trapped they seem to feel.
Underlying this sense of being trapped are seemingly impersonal changes in the very structure of
continent-wide societies. The facts of contemporary history are also facts about the success and
the failure of individual men and women. When a society is industrialized, a peasant becomes a
worker; a feudal lord is liquidated or becomes a businessman. When classes rise or fall, a person
is employed or unemployed; when the rate of investment goes up or down, a person takes new
heart or goes broke. When wars happen, an insurance salesperson becomes a rocket launcher; a
store clerk, a radar operator; a wife or husband lives alone; a child grows up without a parent.
Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without
understanding both.
Yet people do not usually define the troubles they endure in terms of historical change and
institutional contradiction. The well-being they enjoy, they do not usually impute to the big ups
and downs of the societies in which they live. Seldom aware of the intricate connection between
the patterns of their own lives and the course of world history, ordinary people do not usually
know what this connection means for the kinds of people they are becoming and for the kinds of
history-making in which they might take part. They do not possess the quality of mind essential
to grasp the interplay of individuals and society, of biography and history, of self and world.
They cannot cope with their personal troubles in such ways as to control the structural
transformations that usually lie behind them.
Surely it is no wonder. In what period have so many people been so totally exposed at so fast a
pace to such earthquakes of change? That Americans have not known such catastrophic changes
as have the men and women of other societies is due to historical facts that are now quickly
becoming 'merely history.' The history that now affects every individual is world history. Within
this scene and this period, in the course of a single generation, one sixth of humankind is
transformed from all that is feudal and backward into all that is modern, advanced, and fearful.
Political colonies are freed; new and less visible forms of imperialism installed. Re.
THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATIONSociology is often defined as the sc.docx
THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION
Sociology is often defined as the science of society. In this lecture it is argued that even more important than science is sociology’s use of the imagination. Indeed, it is suggested that science is not possible without the imagination. This insight, although subject to dispute, has led sociologists, starting with C.Wright Mills, to speak of the “sociological imagination.” The lecture begins by questioning what we mean by the imagination in general and the sociological imagination in particular. It highlights Mills’ concerns with the relationship between “personal troubles” and “public issues.” It then proposes four dimensions or sensibilities of the sociological imagination.
THE IMAGINATION
“Never does the soul think without phantasm” (imagination)
(Aristotle)
“the union
of deep feeling with profound thought … to see again, those things in which … custom and the common view … had bedimmed all the lustre, had dried up the sparkle and dew drops”
(Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
“[that] whereby ordinary things should be presented to the mind in an unusual way”
(William Wordsworth)
THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION
“being able to ‘think ourselves away’ from the familiar routines of our daily lives in order to look at them anew”
Anthony Giddens
(Sociology Second Edition,
Polity Press, Oxford. 1993:18)
“a quality of mind” … [that can] “grasp the interplay of the individual and society, of biography and history, of self and world.”
C. Wright Mills
The Sociological Imagination (1959)
You can read the original at http://www.lclark.edu/~goldman/socimagination.html
“A useful starting point for seeing why it is worthwhile to develop a sociological imagination has for some time been C. Wright Mills (1959) observation on the differences between our everyday knowledge of our social environment and a sociological understanding… There is a strong tendency in liberal democracies towards seeing human behaviour in terms of individual characteristics, abilities, choices and preferences… What sociologists, on the other hand, are more interested in is establishing the relationship between what happens to individuals…and the larger processes of social, economic and political change which might be said to lie underneath or behind those happenings… The sociological imagination wrote Mills, ‘enables us to grasp history and biography and the relation between the two in society.”
(Van Krieken et. al. 2006: 4)
A kind of interpretive imagination which does not treat its subject matter like objects in the natural world. The sociological imagination is anthropological, historical and critical.
(Holmes et. al., 2003: 7)
FOUR SENSIBILITIES OF THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION

The Social Self
Three Motivations in Social Psychology
Motivation for certainty We need to feel like we understand our environment
Motivation for esteem We need to feel competent and proud of ourselves
Motivation for belonging We need pleasant and stable social connections
Three Motivations in Social Psychology
Motivation for certainty
Motivation for esteem
Motivation for belonging
The way we view our self-concept is driven largely by these
Self-concept: A system of knowledge and beliefs about our personal qualities
Self-Concept
Me
My likes
My values
My skills
My traits
My feelings
Sources of Knowledge
Write a list of 5 subjective traits that define you
I am outgoing (subjective)
I am a student (objective)
These can include your values, likes, talents, personality traits, aspirations, etc.
Next to each one: How do you know?
Knowledge Through Behavior
Self-perception theory We learn about ourselves by watching our own behaviors
I am talking in front of a classroom, so I must be outgoing
Our behaviors are more telling when:
They are freely chosen
There is no reward
Knowledge Through Behavior
Children asked to draw with new markers for 20 minutes
Condition 1: Promised a “Good player” certificate
2 weeks later, played with markers 8% of free-time
Condition 2: Not promised a certificate, but surprised with one
2 weeks later, played with markers 16% of free-time
Condition 3: Not promised a certificate, not given one
2 weeks later, played with markers 16% of free-time
Knowledge Through Behavior
Why?
Condition 1: I played with these before, but it was for a certificate, so I don’t actually like them
Condition 2 + 3: I played with these before without the promise of a certificate, so I must like them!
Knowledge Through Thoughts/Feelings
Similarly, we use our thoughts and feelings to define who we are
I am calm in this classroom right now, so I must be outgoing
Knowledge Through Feelings/Thoughts
Researchers put a female surveyor in a national park to approach men
Condition 1: Men approached in an open field/ picnic area
Condition 2: Men approached as they crossed a swaying, unstable bridge
A second researcher approaches after and asks how attractive that female was
Men in condition 2 reported being more attracted to her
Knowledge Through Feelings/Thoughts
Conclusion:
Being on the bridge elevated heartrate, sweating, and attention
Men took this to mean attraction

The St. Clare Hospital was founded in 1988. In the past few years, the revenues have dropped steadily to a point where CEO James Edwards is considering cost control to improve the organization’s bottom line. Mr. Edwards understands physicians play a critical role in controlling cost, but they do not have a great interest in cooperating with him to sustain the viability of the hospital. Mr. Edwards decides to hire Wendy Jones as the chief operating officer and empower her to cut costs for the hospital.
The first measure taken by
Ms. Jones is to outsource the interpretation of imaging readings and fire the radiologist Dr. Harris. By doing so, the hospital would save $160,000 per year. However, after two weeks, the hospital sees 18% inaccuracy rates in outsourced reading reports. The hospital might face legal liabilities from inaccurate readings. Mr. Edwards and Ms. Jones want to stay with the plan to control costs, but the physicians are furious. The medical director, Dr. Wiseman, gathers all staff physicians to a call for action.

The Specificity Principle in Acculturation Science

Development, National Institutes of Health, Public Health Service
Abstract
The Specificity Principle in Acculturation Science asserts that specific setting conditions of
specific people at specific times moderate specific domains in acculturation by specific processes.
Our understanding of acculturation depends critically on what is studied where, in whom, how,
and when. This article defines, explains, and illustrates the Specificity Principle in Acculturation
Science. Research hypotheses about acculturation can be more adequately tested, inconsistencies
and discrepancies in the acculturation literature can be satisfactorily resolved, acculturation
interventions can be tailored to be more successful, and acculturation policies can be brought to
new levels of effectiveness if the specificity principle that governs acculturation science is more
widely recognized.
Migration and Acculturation
The world is in motion. Throughout human history, people have been on the move, and
migration and acculturation have been facts of the human condition ever since peoples of the
African savannah radiated outward in their treks to new lands (Cann, Stoneking, & Wilson,
1987; Jin et al., 1999; Stringer, 1988). Polynesian expansion, Phoenician trade, Jewish
diaspora, Persian realm, Alexandrian conquest, Roman hegemony, Hun invasion, Umayyad
caliphate, Viking settlement, Ifat sultanate, Hanseatic league, and Columbian exchange
illuminate the history of successive intercultural contacts, just as, beginning 23 centuries BC
with Sargon’s expansion of Akkad across the Fertile Crescent, Egyptian, Kushite, Aksumite,
Ottoman, Inca, Mongol, Songhai, Moghul, Napoleonic, and British empires—all
intercultural permeations—followed one another inexorably. Indeed, human beings have not
ceased migrating even though virtually all habitable places on earth have long since been
settled.
It comes as little surprise, then, that migration and acculturation are global concerns in our
own time. Everywhere one looks, the numbers stun. What in 1990 was 154 million and in
2000 175 million, the United Nations (U.N.) Population Division reported that as of 2015
nearly 245 million people live outside the country of their birth or citizenship. That
translates into roughly 1 in every 30 people on the face of the globe (United Nations, 2016).

The special education resource teacher is trying to quiet an agitate.docx
The special education resource teacher is trying to quiet an agitated student in the library. The student is so out of control that he turns over his chair and throws a book from the shelf at the resource teacher. The resource teacher is struck in the head by the book. The regular education teacher attempts to restore calmness by slamming a large paperweight onto a table. The teacher has to remove the student from the library due to his uncontrollable behavior. The regular education teacher holds onto the student’s upper arm to guide him out of the library to a time-out area designated for this type of behavior. The student yells derogatory remarks at the teacher and tells her she will be sued. The next day, the parents of the student contacts the school administration and school resource officer with a report of child abuse.

The Sony Pictures Entertainment Hack The Problem On .docx
The Sony Pictures Entertainment Hack
The Problem
On November 24, 2014, a hacker group called the “Guardians of Peace” or
GOP successfully attacked Sony Pictures Entertainment (www.sonypictures.com;
SPE). The attackers obtained personally identifiable information about 47,000
current and former SPE employees and their dependents. These materials included
numerous sensitive e-mails among top SPE executives concerning actors, financial
deals, and creative disagreements; executive salaries; and complete copies of
unreleased Sony films. The information included names, addresses, social security
numbers, driver's license numbers, passport numbers, bank account information,
credit card information used for corporate travel and expenses, usernames and
passwords, and compensation and other employment-related information. The
hackers claimed to have stolen more than 100 terabytes of data from SPE.
The GOP initially released the most damaging information over the Internet.
This information consisted of digital copies of SPE films that had been released (e.g.,
Fury) or were yet to be released (e.g., Annie). In addition, the attackers announced
they would continue to release more interesting SPE information.
Although the specific motives for the attack had not been revealed as of mid-
2016, the hack has been linked to the planned release of the SPE film The Interview.
In this movie, producers of a tabloid television show learn that North Korea's leader,
Kim Jong Un, is a big fan of the show, and they set up an interview with him. While
the show's team is preparing for the interview, the CIA recruits them to assassinate
Kim Jong Un.
Prior to the Sony hack, North Korean officials had expressed concerns about
the film to the United Nations. The officials stated that “to allow the production and
distribution of such a film on the assassination of an incumbent head of a sovereign
state should be regarded as the most undisguised sponsoring of terrorism as well as
an act of war.”
On December 16, 2014, the GOP mentioned The Interview by name, and they
threatened to take terrorist actions against the film's New York City premiere at
Sunshine Cinema on December 18. The GOP also threatened similar actions on the
film's America-wide release date of December 25 (Christmas).
On December 18, two messages allegedly from the GOP appeared. The first
claimed that the GOP would not release any further information if SPE agreed not to
release The Interview and to remove it completely from the Internet. The second
http://www.sonypictures.com/
stated that SPE had “suffered enough” and it could release the film, but only if Kim
Jong Un's death scene was not “too happy.”
In the aftermath of the attack, the studio was forced to use fax machines, to
communicate through hard-copy posted messages, and to pay its employees with
paper checks. Employees worked with pen and paper, and shops located on Sony
property accepted only cash.

The soul friendships” can be difficult to cultivate. As it sta.docx
The “soul friendships” can be difficult to cultivate. As it states in the chapter, they can take time to develop, but usually there is some sort of commonality between the two people in which the friendship can develop into one of the soul. The example in the chapter in which Mark Vernon uses for this is between Montaigne and La Boetie. Montaigne is said to state that individuals that are capable of soul friendship are rare and thus the soul friendship even rarer. He goes on to say that they are a force of destiny. However, Mark Vernon points out that the friendship in which Montaigne and La Boetie formed was based off of timing and the period in which the lived. Both had similar, and dangerous points of view for the time, so when the met their friendship already had a foundation to built upon. This is an important aspect for the development of a friendship of the soul because without some form of commonality in where mutual respect is given the friendship cannot develop into something deeper. The author also uses Emerson and Fuller as an example, even all Emerson uses the “phrase divine friendship.” When they firs met Emerson did not initially take a liking to her, however he soon had a great respect for her because of her mind. This then laid a common ground and mutual respect was able to form and then deepen into a friendship of the soul. I think it is important for friends of the soul to have a foundation of mutual respect, and by having this they are less inclined to be upset or the friendship failing when the other person is completely honest with them. In fact, that should be something that is welcomed, because they respect each other to such a degree that it goes beyond petty indifferences. I can say that I have one such friend, I may not call our friendship a “soul friendship” but it is close. I respect him and he respects me and we have always been able to be honest with each other. It is a friendship where, although there is still and element of self-loving, we can see past our differences and in a way that makes the friendship more meaningful. The reason I say this is that I can count on him to real me back in when I am being a little stubborn, or when I cannot see the truth of a matter because I am blinded by some emotion. The key to is to be honest and respectful and to understand that difference of opinions is what makes the friendship more than just someone I can be around and be polite to.

Contemporary jazz reflects both its past and the current music scene in general. Some artists are more traditional and are attached to older styles, while others stretch jazz to a place that is not necessarily even recognizable to many as jazz. R&B styles and musical styles from around the world have become common as part of the jazz language. Though this kind of genre mixing has been around in jazz for a long time, jazz today has its own sound and styles.

The solutions you wrote for meDr Palmer and his staff are ups.docx
The solutions you wrote for me:
Dr Palmer and his staff are upset by the many security elements provided in the health record system. Instead of inactivating the security features, a possible solution for their upset is to allow the security system to go to sleep after 15 minutes of no operation. This way, if the system will not be accessed for a given period of time, it shall be redirected into idle mode and health records shall not be rendered into jeopardy. This solution is practical because it gives the working staff enough time to have a break and go back in a manageable time-frame without having to log out. The drawback of this solution is that, within the set time frame, an intruder can access the system and possibly expose patient records.
In addition of accessing the system through a username and a password, the system could be opened by fingerprint. This technique would only need an employee to place their respective finger in the identification system, then they would be granted full access to the system. The solution is practical since it will eradicate passwords and usernames granting the user simple and easy access to the system (Jamoom et al., 2013). The negative part of this solution is embedded on the cost of the finger-print system. In other words, every computer must be fitted with the system and this calls of additional costs. However, when all areas are put into consideration, I believe that this is the best solution for the problem. Simply, the fingerprint system will eliminate the tedious access of records through usernames and passwords. Furthermore, security of the system shall be increased since fingerprints cannot be leaked or copied like usernames and passwords.
a. Identify any areas of weakness within your chosen solution.
b. Identify hidden assumptions and beliefs you may harbor about your choice of solution.

The Sociological Imagination Chapter One The Promise C..docx
The Sociological Imagination
Chapter One: The Promise
C. Wright Mills (1959)
Nowadays people often feel that their private lives are a series of traps. They sense that within
their everyday worlds, they cannot overcome their troubles, and in this feeling, they are often
quite correct. What ordinary people are directly aware of and what they try to do are bounded by
the private orbits in which they live; their visions and their powers are limited to the close-up
scenes of job, family, neighborhood; in other milieux, they move vicariously and remain
spectators. And the more aware they become, however vaguely, of ambitions and of threats
which transcend their immediate locales, the more trapped they seem to feel.
Underlying this sense of being trapped are seemingly impersonal changes in the very structure of
continent-wide societies. The facts of contemporary history are also facts about the success and
the failure of individual men and women. When a society is industrialized, a peasant becomes a
worker; a feudal lord is liquidated or becomes a businessman. When classes rise or fall, a person
is employed or unemployed; when the rate of investment goes up or down, a person takes new
heart or goes broke. When wars happen, an insurance salesperson becomes a rocket launcher; a
store clerk, a radar operator; a wife or husband lives alone; a child grows up without a parent.
Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without
understanding both.
Yet people do not usually define the troubles they endure in terms of historical change and
institutional contradiction. The well-being they enjoy, they do not usually impute to the big ups
and downs of the societies in which they live. Seldom aware of the intricate connection between
the patterns of their own lives and the course of world history, ordinary people do not usually
know what this connection means for the kinds of people they are becoming and for the kinds of
history-making in which they might take part. They do not possess the quality of mind essential
to grasp the interplay of individuals and society, of biography and history, of self and world.
They cannot cope with their personal troubles in such ways as to control the structural
transformations that usually lie behind them.
Surely it is no wonder. In what period have so many people been so totally exposed at so fast a
pace to such earthquakes of change? That Americans have not known such catastrophic changes
as have the men and women of other societies is due to historical facts that are now quickly
becoming 'merely history.' The history that now affects every individual is world history. Within
this scene and this period, in the course of a single generation, one sixth of humankind is
transformed from all that is feudal and backward into all that is modern, advanced, and fearful.
Political colonies are freed; new and less visible forms of imperialism installed. Re.

THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION
Sociology is often defined as the science of society. In this lecture it is argued that even more important than science is sociology’s use of the imagination. Indeed, it is suggested that science is not possible without the imagination. This insight, although subject to dispute, has led sociologists, starting with C.Wright Mills, to speak of the “sociological imagination.” The lecture begins by questioning what we mean by the imagination in general and the sociological imagination in particular. It highlights Mills’ concerns with the relationship between “personal troubles” and “public issues.” It then proposes four dimensions or sensibilities of the sociological imagination.
THE IMAGINATION
“Never does the soul think without phantasm” (imagination)
(Aristotle)
“the union
of deep feeling with profound thought … to see again, those things in which … custom and the common view … had bedimmed all the lustre, had dried up the sparkle and dew drops”
(Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
“[that] whereby ordinary things should be presented to the mind in an unusual way”
(William Wordsworth)
THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION
“being able to ‘think ourselves away’ from the familiar routines of our daily lives in order to look at them anew”

“a quality of mind” … [that can] “grasp the interplay of the individual and society, of biography and history, of self and world.”
C. Wright Mills
The Sociological Imagination (1959)
You can read the original at http://www.lclark.edu/~goldman/socimagination.html
“A useful starting point for seeing why it is worthwhile to develop a sociological imagination has for some time been C. Wright Mills (1959) observation on the differences between our everyday knowledge of our social environment and a sociological understanding… There is a strong tendency in liberal democracies towards seeing human behaviour in terms of individual characteristics, abilities, choices and preferences… What sociologists, on the other hand, are more interested in is establishing the relationship between what happens to individuals…and the larger processes of social, economic and political change which might be said to lie underneath or behind those happenings… The sociological imagination wrote Mills, ‘enables us to grasp history and biography and the relation between the two in society.”
(Van Krieken et. al. 2006: 4)
A kind of interpretive imagination which does not treat its subject matter like objects in the natural world. The sociological imagination is anthropological, historical and critical.
(Holmes et. al., 2003: 7)
FOUR SENSIBILITIES OF THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION
1. The Analytical Sensibility (science)What are the components of this situation and how do they relate to one another? The search for trends, correlation, causes, structures, functions and meanings that can be empirically demonstrated.

The Social Self
Three Motivations in Social Psychology
Motivation for certainty We need to feel like we understand our environment
Motivation for esteem We need to feel competent and proud of ourselves
Motivation for belonging We need pleasant and stable social connections
Three Motivations in Social Psychology
Motivation for certainty
Motivation for esteem
Motivation for belonging
The way we view our self-concept is driven largely by these
Self-concept: A system of knowledge and beliefs about our personal qualities
Self-Concept
Me
My likes
My values
My skills
My traits
My feelings
Sources of Knowledge
Write a list of 5 subjective traits that define you
I am outgoing (subjective)
I am a student (objective)
These can include your values, likes, talents, personality traits, aspirations, etc.
Next to each one: How do you know?
Knowledge Through Behavior
Self-perception theory We learn about ourselves by watching our own behaviors
I am talking in front of a classroom, so I must be outgoing
Our behaviors are more telling when:
They are freely chosen
There is no reward
Knowledge Through Behavior
Children asked to draw with new markers for 20 minutes
Condition 1: Promised a “Good player” certificate
2 weeks later, played with markers 8% of free-time
Condition 2: Not promised a certificate, but surprised with one
2 weeks later, played with markers 16% of free-time
Condition 3: Not promised a certificate, not given one
2 weeks later, played with markers 16% of free-time
Knowledge Through Behavior
Why?
Condition 1: I played with these before, but it was for a certificate, so I don’t actually like them
Condition 2 + 3: I played with these before without the promise of a certificate, so I must like them!
Knowledge Through Thoughts/Feelings
Similarly, we use our thoughts and feelings to define who we are
I am calm in this classroom right now, so I must be outgoing
Knowledge Through Feelings/Thoughts
Researchers put a female surveyor in a national park to approach men
Condition 1: Men approached in an open field/ picnic area
Condition 2: Men approached as they crossed a swaying, unstable bridge
A second researcher approaches after and asks how attractive that female was
Men in condition 2 reported being more attracted to her
Knowledge Through Feelings/Thoughts
Conclusion:
Being on the bridge elevated heartrate, sweating, and attention
Men took this to mean attraction
Knowledge From Others’ Reactions
We understand who we are through the ways others treat us/react to us.
My brother asked me to talk at his wedding, so I must be outgoing
We respond to both obvious and subtle information from others:
Obvious: Others tell me I am creative, people are impressed by what I create
Subtle: My brother asks me to help design his wedding invitations
Works more with under-developed self-concepts or new domains
Knowledge from Social Comparisons
We judge who we are by how we co.

Social Security provides benefits to millions but does not adequately serve all groups. For example, women often receive lower Social Security benefits than men.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
