Over 600,000 Americans lost their lives in the Civil War, with the Northern troops suffering higher losses. The North believed the sacrifice was worth it; the slaves were freed, and the Union was preserved. The South, on the other hand, began almost immediately to glorify the lost cause. They turned their generals into mythic heroes and looked wistfully back at the antebellum period. They almost regretted surrendering. Historian Shelby Foote said, Any understanding of this nation has to be based…on an understanding of the Civil War . . . The Civil War defined us as what we are, and it opened us to being what we became, good and bad things. It is very necessary if you’re going to understand the American character in the 20th century to learn about this enormous catastrophe of the mid-19th century. It was the crossroads of our being. Burns, K. & Burns, R. (Writers). (1990). Episode 1: The cause (1861). In K. Burns (Producer), The Civil War . Arlington, VA: Public Broadcasting Service. Write a 1,400-word paper in which you answer the following questions: What do you think Foote meant in the quoted passage? How does the Civil War define Americans? If the Southern generals like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson were so brilliant, and if the South lost fewer men than the North, why did the North win the war? Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines .

Overview Write a 2–3-page assessment in which you respond to a series of questions about the field of biopsychology and the brain. Biopsychology, also known as behavioral neuroscience, has become a well-established multidisciplinary study that uses complicated techniques to reveal the relationship between brain functions and human behaviors. Show More By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: • Competency 1: Use information technology and tools to identify information in the domain of biological psychology. â–ª Describe the different regions of the brain and the associated functions. â€¨ â–ª Describe the ethical concerns connected to biopsychology research. â€¨ • Competency 2: Employ critical and creative thinking to evaluate problems, conflicts, and unresolved issues in the study of biological psychology. â€¨ â–ª Explain the mind-brain problem. â€¨ â–ª Describe the origin of biopsychology. â€¨ • Competency 3: Analyze the research methodology and tools typically associated with the study of biological psychology. â€¨ â–ª Describe scientific methods used by scientists to study the brain. â€¨ • Competency 6: Communicate effectively in a variety of formats. â–ª Write coherently to support a central idea with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics as expected of a â€¨ psychology professional. â€¨ â–ª Use APA style and format. â€¨ Context â€¨ As a branch of psychology, contemporary biopsychology studies the relationships between behavior and (mainly) the brain. Before this central hypothesis was established, the popular mind-brain questions raised in history included "What is the mind?" and "Does the mind control the brain or vice-versa?" Numerous scientists, psychologists, philosophers, and other scholars answered these questions differently and developed a variety of theories to explain their rationale. â€¨ Show More â€¨ Action Potential â€¨ The brain is part of the nervous system. A particularly important aspect of the nervous system is how neurons "fire," or act to transmit information. This process is known as the action potential and is governed by several different factors, including neurotransmitters and electrolytes. â€¨ Action potentials are subject to several laws. For instance, according to the all-or-none principle, an action potential occurs at full strength or not at all. This theory has been a foundation of the studies â€¨ of the brain and the theory is widely applied in today's medicine as well as the computer world and the robot industry. Nature or Nurture? The relationship between heredity and the environmental influence in shaping behavior has long been the topic of studies. The history of biological psychology development includes the contributions of Descartes, Fritsch, and Hitzig, Helmholtz, Broca, Gall, and Lashley. One of the most exciting scientific discoveries in the twentieth centu.

OVERVIEW Write a 4–5-page assessment in which you apply theories and concepts about prejudice, stereotypes, and groups to different points related to these topics. Prejudice and stereotyping seem to be part of the human condition, and it is essential to examine how attitudes develop in order to change our behavior as individuals and as a society. SHOW LESS By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: • Competency 2: Apply social psychological research and theory to examine social perception, social interaction, and social influence. • Examine how attitudes and behaviors of a group influence prejudice and stereotyping. • Explain how membership in a group influences social judgment. • Competency 3: Analyze social psychological theory and research to explain personal, professional, and social issues. • Analyze how portrayal of ethnic, cultural, and social groups by the media influences social perception of the group and perpetuates stereotyping. • Analyze how subtle stereotyping and cognitive dissonance can affect the ability to bring about social change. • Competency 5: Examine controversial research studies in social psychology from an ethical standpoint. • Describe ethical challenges researchers face when conducting research on controversial topics. • Competency 6: Apply critical thinking skills to resolve conflicts and issues in the field of social psychology. • Examine the implications and consequences for society of not addressing prejudice and stereotyping. • Competency 7: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for professionals in the field of psychology. • Write coherently to support a central idea with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics as expected of a psychology professional. Use APA format and style. CONTEXT Prejudice occurs all over the world, often contributing to violence, oppression, and other forms of harm. What are the distinctions between stereotypes, discrimination, and prejudice? When do stereotypes become prejudices? Racism and sexism occur across races, ages, genders, religions, physical appearances, sexual orientations, and so on. Prejudice creates emotional, physical, and economic harm to individuals, groups, and society as a whole. But what factors create prejudice, and how can prejudice be reduced? What role do media play in both maximizing and minimizing stereotypes and prejudices? By examining how prejudices are cultivated and the damage they cause, we can begin to see how we might overcome and prevent prejudice. Groups Anyone who has worked in teams knows the challenges of working as a team but also the synergistic accomplishments that come when the team works well together. The fact is that, as cultural animals, we are required to be part of groups of varying types and sizes. Social psychology seeks to answer important questions that assist us in und.

OVERVIEW w Write a 3–4-page assessment in which you use examples and research findings to explain the connections between technology and self-regulation. The more self-knowledge and self-awareness we have, the more intentional we can be about our behavioral choices and the more we can resolve conflicts between ourselves and the social world. CONTEXT Research conducted on the delay of gratification in the 1960s by Walter Mischel and his colleagues attempted to explain the concept of willpower by examining how long preschool children could resist settling for a small, immediately available reward in order to get a larger reward later. Follow-up surveys with the same group found that children who were able to resist for a longer period of time also scored higher on SAT tests, had higher levels of self-worth, and coped better with stress. The study also found that those children who had at first decided to wait and then chose the immediate reward were 30 percent more likely to be overweight by the age of 11 (Mischel, et al., 2011). Some of the ways the children self-regulated their behavior in order to delay gratification to receive a higher reward were to lay their heads down on the table, nap, talk to themselves, and sing.

Overview Toddlers are on a fast moving developmental trajectory – they are no longer dependent babies focused on survival. Instead, they are running, jumping, and problem-solving with unique personalities. Toddlerhood is a fun and exciting time as children are developing physically, cognitively, linguistically, and socially. There is a significant increase in language acquisition during toddlerhood as they are producing more words and following simple directions. According to the National Association for the Education of Young Children, families and professionals can serve as role models during this stage by demonstrating kindness, respect, and patience. As professionals we must recognize that toddlers need guidance, support, and understanding, as they are trying to navigate their own independence. Initial Post – Choose two of the following topics below: Individuation/separation Separation anxiety Language development Object permanence Egocentrism Conservation Zone of proximal development Self-help skills Safety for toddlers Next, address the following: Explain and define the specific topics that you selected. Discuss how you, as an educator (or other professional role such as therapist, social worker, etc.) can support a toddler in this stage of development by giving specific examples. Explain what is happening during this stage from a developmental perspective. (e.g. what are the cognitive, physical changes they are experiencing and why are they experiencing these changes) What advice would you give to parents and families who are having a difficult time adjusting to their toddler? .

In this assessment, you will be able to apply the knowledge you have gained regarding individual differences and learning and memory, in your personal or professional life. Show More By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: • Use information technology and tools to identify information in the domain of learning and cognition. ▪ Summarize scholarly research articles. • Assess the important theories, paradigms, research findings, and conclusions in human learning and cognition. ▪ Apply research findings to a particular research situation. • Analyze the research methodology and tools typically associated with the study of human learning and cognition. ▪ Describe the methods and measures used in research that seeks to understand individual learning differences. • Apply knowledge of theory and research in learning and cognition to inform personal behavior, professional goals, and values, in order to understand social policy. ▪ Apply knowledge of theory and research in learning and cognition to inform personal and professional behavior. • Communicate effectively in a variety of formats. ▪ Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate APA format with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics as expected of a psychology professional. Context African explorer and geographer, meteorologist, psychologist, statistician, and geneticist Sir (knighted in 1909) Francis Galton—cousin to Charles Darwin—lived a life of extraordinary measures, literally. In Galton's biography, Extreme Measures: The Dark Visions and Bright Idea of Francis Galton , Martin Brookes (2004) writes: His measuring mind left its mark all over the scientific landscape. Explorer, inventor, meteorologist, psychologist, anthropologist and statistician, Galton was one of the great Victorian polymaths. But it was in the fledgling field of genetics that he made his most indelible impression. Galton kick-started the enduring nature-nurture debate, and took hereditary determinism to its darkest extreme. Consumed by his eugenic 1 vision, he dreamed of a future society built on a race of pure-breeding supermen. (p. 3) Show More 1 According to the Oxford American Dictionary, eugenics is the "science of improving a human population by controlled breeding to increase the occurrence of desirable heritable characteristics. Developed largely by Francis Galton as a method of improving the human race, it fell into disfavor only after the perversion of its doctrines by the Nazis." As you explore this idea, consider how differences in both biology and social environment impact how people learn .

Overview Our first writing assignment centered upon the definition of the sociological viewpoint toward social problems, and an identification of a social problem that we felt was one of the most significant in society. For this next paper, we will expand upon our understanding of the social problem through analyzing the organizations that are committed to addressing it. For example, with respect to the problems of homelessness, we see a variety of local and national level organizations that seek to enable people the opportunity to have permanent housing. Habitat for Humanity would be an excellent example of an organization that deals with such a concern. In the same sense, we may look at the Salvation Army as a type of organization committed to helping impoverished people, or people recently released from prison or drug treatment, to find gainful employment and reclaim a quality-of-life. Your job in this paper will be to do your own independent research on two organizations that are committed to the social problem chosen in the first writing assignment. This will ultimately lead to our final paper in which we’ll examine the future of the social problem. Instructions Construct a 2-4 page paper that fully satisfies these two areas: Based upon your topic chosen in the first assignment, or based upon an entirely new topic of your choice, describe two organizations (Feel free to do your own independent research on these organizations) that is seeking to address this social problem. (1-2 pages). Note: If you do change topics please get prior approval from you instructor. Analyze two major ways that each organization is addressing the social problem you have mentioned. For example, are they helping to create homeless shelters, are they helping people receive drug treatment, or are they working with state and local authorities to curb suffering in some area? Use at least four concepts or theories from our text (not used in our first assignment) for each organization. Don’t forget to include proper APA-style citation and reference. (worth 10% of total grade). Due on by midnight the Sunday of Week 5 – submit using link in Sakai. The paper should be typed, double-spaced, 1” margins, arial or times new roman 11 pt font, and saved as .doc, .rtf or .pdf in the format: lastname_SOCI212_HW2.doc DISCLAIMER: Originality of attachments will be verified by Turnitin. Both you and your instructor will receive the results. LATE POLICY: See Syllabus Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes: Assignment 2 will evaluate your ability to do the following: Course Objectives: Course Objective One Identify specific social problems and their cause-effect patterns. Course Objective Two Identify current research methods that are utilized for the investigation of social problems.

Forgetting is so common that our lives are filled with automatic reminders to safeguard against forgetting important information. Cars are equipped with buzzers so you don't forget to put on your seatbelt or turn off your lights. News announcements remind you to reset your clocks as daylight saving time begins or ends. Dentists thoughtfully send brightly colored postcards so that your appointment doesn't slip your mind. Sometimes, of course, we want to forget. From the standpoint of a person's psychological well-being, it's probably just as well that we tend to forget the details of unpleasant memories, such as past failures, social embarrassments, and unhappy relationships. Even more generally, our minds would be cluttered with mountains of useless information if we remembered every television program, magazine article, billboard, or conversation we'd ever experienced. (p.260) • In the later part of the 19th century, Hermann Ebbinghaus, a German psychologist, conducted the first scientific experiments on learning and forgetting. • Spatial, Motor-Skill, and Implicit Learning • Is it possible to learn something without any awareness of doing so? It is an intriguing question. Max Sutherland and Alice Sylve.

Overall Instructions to the Research Paper As you complete this assignment, it is important that you keep in mind that the focus of this course is on the management, administration, and/or leadership aspects of criminal justice organizations. With that in mind, focus your efforts on addressing a problem area and solutions for that problem area that involve the real-world criminal justice community. You must focus on proposing a real-world solution to a real-world problem. This issue must be applicable to the ability of the leadership of a criminal justice agency to take constructive action on the problem(s) and recommendation(s) that you identify and address. In those respects, this assignment is more than a standardized research paper, and provides you with an exposure to problems that real-world criminal justice leaders face. The Assignment You will conduct sufficient web research to select a specific criminal justice-related issue/problem that the management, administration, and/or leadership of a major criminal justice organization are, have, or should be addressing. The specific problem and recommended solutions that you may review will vary considerably based upon the quality of your online research efforts. The better your research, the better you will gain knowledge from this assignment. You may relate the issue/problem to an agency/department in the area in which you live or any other area of the United States. To begin this effort you need take the following steps: · Conduct sufficient online research from any web source (including non-scholarly sources) that enables you to identify what you believe to be a major criminal justice management, leadership, and/or administration issue that the community has not addressed on a widescale basis. While you may identify the issue/topic from non-academic quality sources, remember that only scholarly/academic sources maybe used as references in the paper. You will need to be selective in conducting your topical research to insure that you identify an appropriate problem area that merits the attention of the senior management of an agency. · Once you have identified the general issue/topic, you will conduct appropriate online research to determine that sufficient scholarly/academic-quality sources of information are available on the subject that you selected. If that does not occur, you need to select a different issue/topic to address. The specific issue that you select to address in the assignment should be based on the volume and quality of web sources that you locate. · Once you have identified that a sufficient quantity of academic/scholarly-quality sources are available for your project, you will conduct further detailed web-based research on the issue. First determine that your references address how a particular city, county, state, or federal agency has successfully addressed the issue. The key here is to locate an organization that has identified the issue and that has already.

Scenario Worldwide Advertising, Inc. (referred to as “WAI”) has hired you as an IT consultant for implementing their Windows network infrastructure. WAI is a new advertising firm, and they are currently hiring staff, establishing two locations, and have a need to get their internal IT services configured. They do not yet have an IT staff, but when they do, the IT staff will take over all aspects of IT administration. You are required to supply WAI with a solution which describes the implementation and configuration of their core IT services. Cost is not a significant concern – WAI wishes to implement the “right” solution to fit their needs now and for the next 2-3 years. There are several details about WAI which will have an impact on your choices: · WAI will start with 90 employees, in the following departments: o Executives (9 employees) – manage and run the company o Accounts and Sales Department (15 employees) – perform market research and maintain accounts o Creative, Media and Production Department (49 employees) – advertising o Human Resources and Finances (12 employees) – perform HR and financial duties o IT (5 employees) – manage IT for the company o WAI will have two sites, one in Los Angeles and one in New York. Most staff will be located in LA, with at least 1 person from each of the departments above located in NY. · Networking equipment is already in place for both sites. A secure tunnel (using IPSec) will be established between the two sites so that inter-site traffic will be securely tunneled over the Internet. You may make whatever other assumptions you wish about intra-and inter-site connectivity. · Security mechanisms (e.g., firewalls, intrusion detection) will be handled separately, and there is no need to describe them. · Some departments will want their data to remain private from other departments (e.g., Finances personnel will not want Production staff to see the company’s financial details). Your team may make assumptions about how data should be shared or kept private. · Assumptions can be made regarding any information not included here; all assumptions should be identified, however. Topics to Cover Your document should cover the content presented in the course. The outline below contains recommended points to cover. You are free to add other related information. Describe the technical and business reasons for each choice, citing other resources as appropriate. The Windows Server 2012 operating system should be used for all aspects of the solution. The topics include: New Features of Wind.

outline for The hardships Hilda Satt faced an immigrant in the 1890s have a familiar ring to them Instructions: For this small writing assignment, you will prepare a full introduction, with a thesis statement, using the topic prompt for Paper #1. You will use these introductions and outlines when constructing the final draft of Paper #1. You must use the standards for introductions used in SWA #2, and available on BB. This means your introduction needs to have 3 parts, and be 5-7 sentences long. The outline portion of this assignment may be in any format you wish. However, the more information you include, the more feedback your TA can give you. There are outline guides available on Blackboard, should you need assistance. Topic Prompt for Paper #1: “The hardships Hilda Satt faced an immigrant in the 1890s have a familiar ring to them.” 1 “Hilda Satt, like every immigrant, had to shape a new identity that reconciled her homeland culture with her American experience.” 2 Topic Question: How does Satt’s autobiography reflect the larger 19 th century immigrant experience? As you formulate you answer, you may want to consider the following questions: -What ‘push’/’pull’ factors attracted Satt and others to the United States? (i.e. What is driving them from their home nations/drawing them to the U.S.?) -How did her daily life change after moving to the U.S.? -What institutions in the United States did immigrants use to help them identify as Americans? These are by no means the only points/themes you may include in your paper! There are a TON of different ways this document reflects the immigrant experience (as delineated in lectures, the textbook, and the assigned readings). Sources you may use in this essay (you are NOT permitted to use outside souces): -Going to the Source , Chapter 4, “Immigrant to the Promised Land,” p. 78-99 - Fraser, Pearson Revel textbook - Dr. Cornelius’ Lectures -Daniel E.

Events and characters on The Jerry Springer Show are used to market specific products advertised during the commercial breaks. To sell these valuable products, however, the show encourages its audience, middle-class viewers, to fear an unrealistic threat to their social values from the Springer Show’s so called “guests.” These fears are reinforced by the middle-class studio audience, which takes pleasure from separating itself from the actions and social class of the ‘guests.’ Logically, the show reinforces th.
