According to sociologist, C. Wright Mills, people often believe that their private lives can only be explained in terms of their personal successes and failures. They fail to see the links between their own individual lives and the society around them. The process of interpreting your individual life in the context of your community or the society in which you live is called sociological imagination . Choose ONE of the following issues: Being unemployed and the impact of unemployment as a broad issue Being an alcoholic or drug addict and the broader impact of alcoholism/drug addiction on society Being an unmarried pregnant teenager and the impact that unmarried teen pregnancy has on society Being a homeless person and the broader issue of poverty in society Use your sociological imagination to discuss the connection between individual experiences and the social impact of the issue you chose .

All scientific theories must be able to make testable predictions. Such predictions are based on observations. Experiments can then be conducted to verify (or falsify) such predictions. Darwin theorized that evolution occurred through natural selection; however, this may not have occurred in a smooth process. Some evolutionary theorists suggest that evolution by natural selection occurred in step-wise fashion. Assignment Write 3–4 pages on the following (not including the title and reference pages): Explain the concepts of phyletic gradualism and punctuated equilibrium. What predictions about the fossil record does punctuated equilibrium make? In this model, what are the processes that produce rapid evolution? Which evolutionary factors are responsible for the periods of relative stasis? Patterns of punctuated equilibrium have been observed in some cases, but the debate between punctuated equilibrium and phyletic gradualism continues and provides interesting areas of research. Based on your research into the scientific process, what evidence do we see today that supports a long history of life on the planet? What evidence do we see that supports evolution by gradual change? What evidence do we see that supports the concept of punctuated equilibrium? .

All literature involves some kind of performance which is intended for an audience. Sometimes, however, the performative quality of a work (i.e., the fact that it is being presented to an audience) is more obvious than at others. Drama and poetry, for example, tend to emphasize overt performance more than do short stories, which more often are read silently and in solitude. How is the more direct performative aspect of drama and/or poetry reflected in these forms? (Consider for example, each genre’s uses of literary structure, language, technique, and style.) How do these literary elements affect your reading experience? In your post, identify key qualities of drama and poetry which emphasize their performative qualities. Discuss how these characteristics shape your reading response. Support your views with at least one example of a dramatic text and one example of a poem . .

Alice Jones was employed as a clerk-typist by a company. She requested and was refused a vacation day. The employer's refusal was based on her failure to submit the request at least two weeks in advance as required by company policy. She announced that she would take the day anyway, and when she subsequently failed to report for work, was fired for insubordination, plus the unexcused absence. Jones claimed that the company's real reason for firing her was a complaint that she had made to her state's department of labor concerning elimination of employee rest breaks. Explain and evaluate the possible causes of action available to Jones, and identify and explain the possible defenses available to Jones’ employer with regard to each cause of action. Integrate case law and statutory support into your response. (Points : 30) .

Air pollution is an environmental health problem in many cities throughout the world. Residents in an urban community through which a major freeway transportation route runs are suffering from a number of health effects. The local organization arranges for you, a health educator, to consult with and assist a nurse from a local community clinic in planning and implementing a program that will address reduction in exposure of the community, particularly children, to air pollution and thereby reducing the impact of air pollution in the community. Write a 2-3 page paper in which you do the following: 1. Describe the common health problems associated with indoor and outdoor air pollution in urban settings. 2. Describe why children are more vulnerable to the effects of air pollutants. 3. Describe how you (as a Health Educator and consultant in this multi-disciplinary team), would assist the nurse to plan and implement a program that will reduce the exposure of this community to air pollution as well as reduce the impact of air pollution on the health of children. In your response, make sure to include preventive steps that can be taken by the community (home and school, for example) to reduce the exposure of children to air pollutants. .

Ideas about a life power were consistent with the scientific understanding of the day. Darwin himself spoke of an organizing “spirit of animation” in his Zoonomia; or, The Laws of Organic Life, in which he stated “the world itself might have been generated, rather than created.” Dr. Frankenstein picked all the parts for his monster based on their beauty, but when it comes to life, the monster is unbearably ugly. “I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body…the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart.
