throughout your time as a CAS student, you have been exposed to various developmental theories and practices that align with them. One way that we can connect theoretical understandings with developmentally appropriate practices is through the spaces we create for children and adolescents at-risk.
Develop a classroom or community center/plot of land floorplan where there is intentionality behind every inch of the space. Label each area with its purpose and what area of development it is meant to foster. Be specific, go beyond saying, "Cognitive, Social-emotional, Language, or Physical development". You should have a minimum of 4 pages:
1. A cover page (1 points) where you list your name, student ID, dat, "HW3" and then tell me about the space you are designing and for what age group and population.
· Ages can range from 4 year old's to 18 year old's
· Populations can range from a low-income classroom in an urban, suburban, or rural area to a targeted population (e.g., LGBTQIA+, sexual assault survivors, individuals with learning differences, undocumented youth, etc.)
· Overarching goal of the space you are creating
2. The visual (3 points) representation of the space you created with each area labeled
· You can do this with colored pencils and paper (take a picture or scan it) or on your ipad/tablets and computers using any software/program available to you.
· You can label using letters or numbers or short label names/descriptors
3. The index (4 points) for each area with
· a full name of the area & its goals
· the developmental aspect it is targeting
· through what processes specifically it is targeting that area of development
· Finally, how is it serving a buffer or protective factor for children and adolescents at risk
4. Reflection (2 points) on the process and how realistic your design would be in a school or organization with low resources.
· What 3 areas would you cut and what 2 areas would you absolutely fight to keep if budget was a barrier?
*** You do not need to be an artistic genius to do well on this assignment. It is most important to demonstrate your intentionality in curating spaces for children and adolescents at-risk. Importantly, it needs to be clear that you thought through different processes that impact development.
***There are no file format restrictions given that this is more than a writing assignment.

In this assignment, you will be taking on the role of an ethnologist, using multiple
ethnographic accounts to study human behavior and culture.
Do the following:
• Identify two to three societies to compare such as African, Indian, Chinese,
Korean, or Native American. Please note that these are suggested societies;
you may choose something not on this list.
• Choose one aspect of human culture discussed in the course:
◦ Domestic life and kinship
◦ Subsistence and economy
◦ Religion
◦ Culture change
Using the module readings, Argosy University online library resources, and the
Internet, write a research paper to include the following:
• Describe the background information of each of the societies you have
chosen. You need not analyze this background information, only provide
details regarding these societies.
• Analyze the aspect of human culture you selected for each of the societies.
• Compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the societies
in relation to the topic you chose—for example, standard of living, education,
or employment opportunities.
• Summarize and address human behavior in relation to your topic and based
on your examples.
◦ Address the realities of life for the cultures you have examined.
◦ Examine some of the social problems and public policy issues that
become apparent.
Your paper should have a title page as well as an introduction section. This
introduction section should include the societies you selected as well as the human
culture aspect you will be discussing and why it is relevant to anthropology. As an
anthropologist, use relevant anthropological terms in your analysis.
Support your statements with examples and scholarly references.

Overview For the first part of your final project, the critical.docx
Overview:
For the first part of your final project, the
critical analysis portfolio
, you will select an issue or event in diversity and critically analyze it through the four general education lenses: history, humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences. By viewing the issue/event through these lenses, you will gain insight into how the intersectional nature of diversity affects society, as well as both your own individual framework of perception and the choices, attitudes, and behaviors of others in the world around you.
For this first milestone, due in
Module Two
, you will select an issue/event to analyze through the four general education lenses. You will explain the issue/event and its relationship to diversity, as well as describe its connection to all four lenses.
Prompt:
First, review the module resources you have so far encountered, as well as your work in Module One. In addition, it is suggested that you visit the IDS 400 LibGuide for guidance on how to select a topic. Select one issue/event in diversity and write a paper that addresses how this issue/event fits into the framework of diversity, and then addresses how each lens influences perceptions and attitudes toward the issue/event, diversity, and society. The paper should outline each lens’s impact and framing of the issue/event. Be sure to provide a working thesis statement and clear definitions for your key terms.
Specifically, you must address the
critical elements
listed below.
I.
Introduction:
You will compile a series of critical analyses of a single issue/event in diversity through the four general education lenses: history, humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences.
A.
Topic
: Using the four lenses, explain how an issue/event within diversity has or has not influenced modern society.
II.
Lens Connections
: In this section of your assignment, you will describe the connections between your issue/event and each of the four general education
lenses.
What is the connection of your issue/event to the lens of
history
for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize evidence from theory
and research to support your analysis.
What is the connection of your issue/event to the lens of the
humanities
for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize evidence from
theory and research to support your analysis.
What is the connection of your issue/event to the lens of the
natural sciences
for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize evidence
from theory and research to support your analysis.
What is the connection of your issue/event to the lens of the
social sciences
for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize evidence

The Reflection Paper supports the three learning outcomes for the course:
1. Analyze the components of positive psychology that contribute to the health and well-being of individuals, organizations, and environments.
2. Use critical thinking, skeptical inquiry, research methodologies, and appropriate instruments to analyze scientific evidence to differentiate positive psychology from other psychological approaches.
3. Evaluate positive psychology theories and theorists to determine appropriate and ethical applications and interventions within the individual as well as organizational and multicultural settings.
Objective: Write a 4 to 5-page personal Reflection Paper that communicates how specific topics, theories, and research findings covered in the course 1) shape your understanding of positive psychology; and, 2) connect to your current knowledge, experiences, and areas of interest.
Instructions Summary: The following guidance lists the key steps for the Reflection Paper.
1. Review the topics we have covered in class, to include those covered during the week this assignment is due.
2. Choose two to three* positive psychology topics, theories, or research studies covered within the applicable week’s content.
3. Reflect and identify personal relevance of the selected subjects.
4. Research using the UMGC Library.
5. Write and submit for grading a well composed, 4 to 5-page APA style formatted Reflection Paper.
*This is a minimum target, not a finite value. To maximize the benefits of this assignment, focus on a range of subjects that capture your attention. It is appropriate to discuss and integrate related topics. For example, in a discussion of “hope,” the inclusion of theory (e.g., Snyder, 2002), details extracted from course Learning Resources, and research findings pulled from peer-reviewed articles, can create topic depth. Incorporating relevant points that address linkages to the construct, optimism, can demonstrate breadth of understanding. The related points, when constructively used to compare, contrast, and synthesized your understanding of hope, builds out a thoughtfully elaborated presentation on the topic.

I. INTRODUCTION to the ASSIGNMENT
Institutionalized Inequalities Persists
Sociology reveals that we live in a stratified society. An individual person’s access to social resources and opportunities varies markedly depending on numerous
factors
, including those
associated with their social location at the always intersecting systems of institutionalized inequalities. Class, race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, religion, and sexual orientation
are important predictors of patterned outcomes at the social group level, across institutions. Examining these arenas at a macro level allows sociologists to achieve a more sophisticated grasp of their workings and the larger social structural dynamics at play. This higher level thinking is also necessary to the creation of well-informed strategies designed to create new forms of justice. Half measures are arguably problematic. As Malcom X once said, "If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made" (1964, but as relevant as ever today).
People Make History
Sociology also reveals that people make history. We are historical agents who help (re)produce and (potentially) transform institutions and culture moment-to-moment throughout our days perpetually. As historical agents, we have the capacity to contribute to positive change in our daily lives. A more just and sustainable world is possible and looming. “Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." (
Arundhati Roy)
Social Policy is an Excellent Avenue for Concrete and Critically Informed Social Change.
Social policy is an excellent avenue for achieving social justice
because it moves human and economic resources and facilitates enacting concrete actions for concrete change. Importantly, it allocates our combined social wealth (tax dollars, human energy). We can continue to invest policy dollars and energy into war, policing, punishment, and corporate welfare--deepening the existing social relationships and macro patterns of unequal power. Another route, already underway, is to shift our resources toward policy efforts that address social inequities at their roots, and nourish healthy communities. Your readings in the final section of the class include policy platforms that you may consider models for this paper (though your proposal will necessarily be much smaller in scope, given word count limits).
Other strategies for social change include but are not limited to
legislation
(lawmaking by representative government or other governmental bodies),
litigation
(using the courts),
research
(the work of think tanks, universities, organizations, activists),
community organizing
(movement building; awareness-building;.

Overview
This course explores globalization and its impact on shaping the world around us. Globalization influences society, and society influences each of us, creating a
feedback loop between them. We will critically analyze this feedback loop in this course through social, historical, and theoretical approaches to globalization as
well as the four general education lenses: history, humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences. Each of these four perspectives allows us to
better understand the construction of globalization and its interrelation with society. From this enhanced understanding, you will be equipped to draw
connections between global society and your personal and professional lives, helping you to become a better-informed citizen who can make a positive
difference in the world.
Issues and events in globalization have a pervading influence on many aspects of society, and how they are dealt with requires diverse knowledge and
perspectives to investigate and change. The purpose of this project is to examine a specific issue or event in globalization and how it impacts individuals and
society through the development of a critical analysis portfolio and a presentation in which you will demonstrate your ability to think critically, investigate, and
communicate clearly. These skills are often necessary to achieve personal and professional goals across many disciplines.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Analyze the role of the individual in one’s discipline of study or chosen profession in an expanding global network [IDS-401-01]
Integrate interdisciplinary approaches for determining the effect that global connectedness has on the state of national identity [IDS-401-02]
Recommend strategies for increasing global awareness and fostering culturally inclusive discourse to meet personal and professional goals [IDS-401-04]
Assess the benefits and challenges of global connectedness through the incorporation of diverse perspectives and viewpoints informed by relevant
literature and peer experiences [IDS-401-06]

UNIT III ESSAY
Instructions
Rome and Romanization
This assignment gives you the opportunity to practice determining the purpose and function of artifacts in order to create your interpretation of a specific historical development—Romanization.
Discuss the impact of the process of Romanization on the Roman world. Identify at least two examples of cultural structures that were patterned across Roman-conquered cities. Cultural structures can include physical features of Roman-ruled cities, practices, policies, ideas, or any artifact that was used to shape the conquered religions.
Discuss how these structures impacted daily life, which may include politics, economics, or social roles. Describe how and with what intent these events were "memorialized" or used in the cultural arena.
Step 1: Choose two appropriate sources. At least one source must come from the CSU Online Library. The Academic Search Complete and eBook Academic Collection databases in the CSU Online Library would be good places to start your search. If you need additional help with using or locating information in the online library, there are library video tutorials available on the main page of the online library under the heading “Research Guides.” Resources from outside of the library should be credible and peer-reviewed and cannot include Wikipedia, Biography.com, History.com, any type of message board, or other similar encyclopedias.
Step 2: Complete your research. Choose one interesting development that illustrates the main point that you want to make about your chosen physical structures, practices, or ideas. Gather details about your choice. For example, what types of buildings were first introduced in Rome, and why were they purposely replicated in other, smaller cities?
Step 3: Draw conclusions from the details you found, and prepare your thesis. A thesis is prepared after you have completed your research and gathered enough information about the chosen structures. You should sit back to think about what it means to see the influence on culture. Your thesis statement should offer your reader the overall insight into the use and impact of the structure on Roman development.
Use the following guidelines to help decide on your thesis.
· Ask yourself about how the cultural element (idea, practice, or structure) was shaped by its time period and environment.
· Ask yourself how the structure impacted the lives of the people around it, the general public, and the immediately following period in the history of Rome.
· Find the perfect specific example to demonstrate the qualities of the structure you would most like to show.
Step 4: Write your essay. Your essay must be at least 500 words in length. All sources must be referenced and cited according to APA guidelines.
Be sure to consider the following guidelines in your essay.
· The introduction should engage the reader and clearly present the essay’s thesis and summarize the main points that clarify your point of vie ...

kim woods
Introduction & Concepts:
The very idea of the “modern world” is complex; in fact, it is impossible to describe and fully comprehend the multitude of people, ideas, and events that defined modern world history. But, by channeling this multitude into broad categories and identifying themes or issues that different people, ideas, and events shared in common, we can make sense of an otherwise chaotic mass of information.
One main idea that many people in the modern world embraced was “freedom.” However, different people defined “freedom” in different ways in various times and places. Our job as historians is to understand what freedom meant to people in the past and to describe the ways they sought to gain or keep their liberty—or the ways in which some people or groups restricted the freedom of others. To aid you in this effort, think about the following four types of freedom and how the material from HIS 11 might relate to each one:
Freedom of Action (to do what you want)
Freedom of Conscience (to say or think what you want)
Freedom of Association (to have the friends or allies you want)
Economic Freedom (to choose how you work and what you buy)
Project Assignment:
Your project this semester is to trace the way
one (1)
of these four types of freedom developed, changed, and affected the lives of people and/or the shapes of societies over the span of the modern era. During the semester, you will write a series of essays (one short Response Paper and the Midterm Exam), which will help you develop your ideas about freedom and relate them to different historical examples. The last essay will be a

Background & Purpose This report will investigate a sensation.docx
Background & Purpose:
This report will investigate a sensation- or thrill seeking activity that could be a leisure or recreation activity that is taken to an extreme level. This assignment helps you to practice research, present different sides of an argument, and integrate your own evaluation of your chosen sensation- or thrill seeking behavior.
Topic: Young adults, such as students at UCD, are very likely to engage in thrill-seeking behavior. You will select a sensation seeking activity (subject to instructor approval) that exemplifies a leisure or recreational activity that is taken to an extreme level.
Task:
Write a well composed analytical paper that includes the following four components.
Introduction to the topic
Introduce your sensation- or thrill seeking activity and describe how this activity is done. Cite a real life example of it that you have researched. Use this example as your hook. It will be necessary to provide background information about why this activity might be classified as a thrill- or sensation seeking activity and what may be the motivation for individuals to engage in this activity.
Analysis of risks and rewards
Next, provide analysis of why this activity is both risky and rewarding for its participants. In this portion of the paper, discuss what risk factors participants have to deal with in order to do their activity and why such factors are important. Address any possible outcomes that may occur if the activity goes awry. Balance your analysis with a discussion of the possible payoffs participants may gain from doing this activity. Point out any rewards the participants may reap while achieving their goals.
Argument
Lastly, use the information from your analysis to argue whether engaging in this activity is truly dangerous or not. Be sure to develop your reasoning adequately in this section and consider 1-2 counterarguments.
Conclusion
Conclude your analysis by recommending whether this activity is a viable leisure or recreation activity for most people and point out what can be gained from observing such behaviors and those that participate in thrill- or sensation seeking activities.
Genre and Audience:
Your paper should be written in formal language for an educated audience. Use APA citation style and add a reference list at the end of the report. Prepare your paper with interesting headings for individual sections. If you choose, you may include images of the activity that may support your analysis give the reader a sense of the actual activity. However, you must include references to all sources and images that you use.
Sources to Consult
Your analysis must cite two of the required readings we read for this unit (readings we read after the midterm). In addition, you must include 2-3 additional sources that will supplement your analysis of the activity. It is recommended that these sources be from either scholarly sources, newspapers, or current events magazines. However, you are encourag ...

It discusses that frameworks provide perspectives and models used by researchers to organize their work. Theoretical frameworks apply theories to explain phenomena, while conceptual frameworks graphically present concepts and relationships. Literature reviews help establish connections to prior work, theories, and accuracy of research questions. Hypotheses tentatively explain variable relationships and must be testable. Definitions of terms clarify meanings within a study. Organization and criteria are outlined for effective literature reviews.

Student Population & Needs Assessment
The instructional plan being presented is a college-level political science course. The political science course targets college students in other areas of specialization. The introductory course will provide the students with the fundamental knowledge on the key aspects of political science. The student population is not expected to have extensive knowledge of political science.
The training program will begin by assessing the current beliefs and attitudes of the students towards the position and value of political science. The objective of the learning needs assessment is to establish the knowledge gaps that can be addressed through the training program (Spooner et al., 2007; Edwards et al., 2014).
Learning Objectives
The specific learning objectives are:
• To introduce the students to the key concepts in political science

About The Semester Project
This course requires a long-term investigative project. This project will require the formation of teams. As a team you will be asked to
defend a claim about a relevant political concept or phenomenon, and to connect
each of the following cultural artifacts to a concept or set of related concepts addressed in this course:
·
· An event
· A film
· A book or short story
· A painting
· A sculpture
· A musical composition
This project must include an explanatory essay and a presentation, which you will turn in as a team. The explanatory essay must conform either to MLA format or the Chicago Manual of Style, and be of sufficient length to incorporate each of the examples listed above. Depending on the size of your team, the minimum page length shall vary as follows:
· For a single author, the minimum length shall be 12 full pages in standard manuscript form.
The presentation must involve every member of your team, and must be presented in the session during Finals Week.
Unlike other information tasks in this course, the Semester Project is an Open Task rather than a Direct Task (Please see the Big6 Information Literacy presentation for details about the difference). You and your team are asked to construct your topic together. In the past, successful teams have built their project in a variety of ways. Some have connected their project in Government to their own specific fields of study or interest. Others have synthesized two or three thematic areas from the list of content themes appearing on page 3 of this document. Remember also that for this project, the article you and your team compose should be a unified article, in that the reader should not be able easily to tell where one author ends and another begins; that is, if you have more than one member of your team.
This Project
mustinclude the following:
·
A single discernible thesis. This is the main idea of your project. This thesis
must be either
analytical or
expository in nature. It may serve an argumentative or persuasive purpose. However, the essay must conform to the Universal Intellectual Standards outlined by the
Foundation for Critical Thinking.
·
An appropriate thesis. Your team must relate the above cultural artifacts to a theme or concept in this course. In Federal Government, this means a topic connected to any of the following:
·
·
· Political theory or philosophy
· Political culture or Ideology
· US Constitutional Principles
· US Constitutional Provisions
· Themes of the US Constitution
· Federalism
· Public Opinion
· Political Socialization
· Information media
· Interest Groups
· Political pa.

Argument and Persuasion is a somewhat more challenging rhetorica.docx
Argument and Persuasion is a somewhat more challenging rhetorical mode to employ (than description or cause and effect) because it has to function successfully on three levels simultaneously. These are called the three “Levels of Appeal.” The levels are:
Logical/rational
Moral/ethical
Emotional
Other rhetorical modes only operate on the logical/rational level. As you study READ3, notice and think about how Jefferson, Lincoln, King, and Hughes use Argumentation and Persuasion while satisfying the three “Levels of Appeal.” Then, in the discussion board

The Reflection Paper supports the three learning outcomes for the course:
1. Analyze the components of positive psychology that contribute to the health and well-being of individuals, organizations, and environments.
2. Use critical thinking, skeptical inquiry, research methodologies, and appropriate instruments to analyze scientific evidence to differentiate positive psychology from other psychological approaches.
3. Evaluate positive psychology theories and theorists to determine appropriate and ethical applications and interventions within the individual as well as organizational and multicultural settings.
Objective: Write a 4 to 5-page personal Reflection Paper that communicates how specific topics, theories, and research findings covered in the course 1) shape your understanding of positive psychology; and, 2) connect to your current knowledge, experiences, and areas of interest.
Instructions Summary: The following guidance lists the key steps for the Reflection Paper.
1. Review the topics we have covered in class, to include those covered during the week this assignment is due.
2. Choose two to three* positive psychology topics, theories, or research studies covered within the applicable week’s content.
3. Reflect and identify personal relevance of the selected subjects.
4. Research using the UMGC Library.
5. Write and submit for grading a well composed, 4 to 5-page APA style formatted Reflection Paper.
*This is a minimum target, not a finite value. To maximize the benefits of this assignment, focus on a range of subjects that capture your attention. It is appropriate to discuss and integrate related topics. For example, in a discussion of “hope,” the inclusion of theory (e.g., Snyder, 2002), details extracted from course Learning Resources, and research findings pulled from peer-reviewed articles, can create topic depth. Incorporating relevant points that address linkages to the construct, optimism, can demonstrate breadth of understanding. The related points, when constructively used to compare, contrast, and synthesized your understanding of hope, builds out a thoughtfully elaborated presentation on the topic.

I. INTRODUCTION to the ASSIGNMENT
Institutionalized Inequalities Persists
Sociology reveals that we live in a stratified society. An individual person’s access to social resources and opportunities varies markedly depending on numerous
factors
, including those
associated with their social location at the always intersecting systems of institutionalized inequalities. Class, race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, religion, and sexual orientation
are important predictors of patterned outcomes at the social group level, across institutions. Examining these arenas at a macro level allows sociologists to achieve a more sophisticated grasp of their workings and the larger social structural dynamics at play. This higher level thinking is also necessary to the creation of well-informed strategies designed to create new forms of justice. Half measures are arguably problematic. As Malcom X once said, "If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made" (1964, but as relevant as ever today).
People Make History
Sociology also reveals that people make history. We are historical agents who help (re)produce and (potentially) transform institutions and culture moment-to-moment throughout our days perpetually. As historical agents, we have the capacity to contribute to positive change in our daily lives. A more just and sustainable world is possible and looming. “Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." (
Arundhati Roy)
Social Policy is an Excellent Avenue for Concrete and Critically Informed Social Change.
Social policy is an excellent avenue for achieving social justice
because it moves human and economic resources and facilitates enacting concrete actions for concrete change. Importantly, it allocates our combined social wealth (tax dollars, human energy). We can continue to invest policy dollars and energy into war, policing, punishment, and corporate welfare--deepening the existing social relationships and macro patterns of unequal power. Another route, already underway, is to shift our resources toward policy efforts that address social inequities at their roots, and nourish healthy communities. Your readings in the final section of the class include policy platforms that you may consider models for this paper (though your proposal will necessarily be much smaller in scope, given word count limits).
Other strategies for social change include but are not limited to
legislation
(lawmaking by representative government or other governmental bodies),
litigation
(using the courts),
research
(the work of think tanks, universities, organizations, activists),
community organizing
(movement building; awareness-building;.

Overview
This course explores globalization and its impact on shaping the world around us. Globalization influences society, and society influences each of us, creating a
feedback loop between them. We will critically analyze this feedback loop in this course through social, historical, and theoretical approaches to globalization as
well as the four general education lenses: history, humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences. Each of these four perspectives allows us to
better understand the construction of globalization and its interrelation with society. From this enhanced understanding, you will be equipped to draw
connections between global society and your personal and professional lives, helping you to become a better-informed citizen who can make a positive
difference in the world.
Issues and events in globalization have a pervading influence on many aspects of society, and how they are dealt with requires diverse knowledge and
perspectives to investigate and change. The purpose of this project is to examine a specific issue or event in globalization and how it impacts individuals and
society through the development of a critical analysis portfolio and a presentation in which you will demonstrate your ability to think critically, investigate, and
communicate clearly. These skills are often necessary to achieve personal and professional goals across many disciplines.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Analyze the role of the individual in one’s discipline of study or chosen profession in an expanding global network [IDS-401-01]
Integrate interdisciplinary approaches for determining the effect that global connectedness has on the state of national identity [IDS-401-02]
Recommend strategies for increasing global awareness and fostering culturally inclusive discourse to meet personal and professional goals [IDS-401-04]
Assess the benefits and challenges of global connectedness through the incorporation of diverse perspectives and viewpoints informed by relevant
literature and peer experiences [IDS-401-06]

UNIT III ESSAY
Instructions
Rome and Romanization
This assignment gives you the opportunity to practice determining the purpose and function of artifacts in order to create your interpretation of a specific historical development—Romanization.
Discuss the impact of the process of Romanization on the Roman world. Identify at least two examples of cultural structures that were patterned across Roman-conquered cities. Cultural structures can include physical features of Roman-ruled cities, practices, policies, ideas, or any artifact that was used to shape the conquered religions.
Discuss how these structures impacted daily life, which may include politics, economics, or social roles. Describe how and with what intent these events were "memorialized" or used in the cultural arena.
Step 1: Choose two appropriate sources. At least one source must come from the CSU Online Library. The Academic Search Complete and eBook Academic Collection databases in the CSU Online Library would be good places to start your search. If you need additional help with using or locating information in the online library, there are library video tutorials available on the main page of the online library under the heading “Research Guides.” Resources from outside of the library should be credible and peer-reviewed and cannot include Wikipedia, Biography.com, History.com, any type of message board, or other similar encyclopedias.
Step 2: Complete your research. Choose one interesting development that illustrates the main point that you want to make about your chosen physical structures, practices, or ideas. Gather details about your choice. For example, what types of buildings were first introduced in Rome, and why were they purposely replicated in other, smaller cities?
Step 3: Draw conclusions from the details you found, and prepare your thesis. A thesis is prepared after you have completed your research and gathered enough information about the chosen structures. You should sit back to think about what it means to see the influence on culture. Your thesis statement should offer your reader the overall insight into the use and impact of the structure on Roman development.
Use the following guidelines to help decide on your thesis.
· Ask yourself about how the cultural element (idea, practice, or structure) was shaped by its time period and environment.
· Ask yourself how the structure impacted the lives of the people around it, the general public, and the immediately following period in the history of Rome.
· Find the perfect specific example to demonstrate the qualities of the structure you would most like to show.
Step 4: Write your essay. Your essay must be at least 500 words in length. All sources must be referenced and cited according to APA guidelines.
Be sure to consider the following guidelines in your essay.
· The introduction should engage the reader and clearly present the essay’s thesis and summarize the main points that clarify your point of vie ...

kim woods Introduction & Concepts The very idea of the moder.docx
kim woods
Introduction & Concepts:
The very idea of the “modern world” is complex; in fact, it is impossible to describe and fully comprehend the multitude of people, ideas, and events that defined modern world history. But, by channeling this multitude into broad categories and identifying themes or issues that different people, ideas, and events shared in common, we can make sense of an otherwise chaotic mass of information.
One main idea that many people in the modern world embraced was “freedom.” However, different people defined “freedom” in different ways in various times and places. Our job as historians is to understand what freedom meant to people in the past and to describe the ways they sought to gain or keep their liberty—or the ways in which some people or groups restricted the freedom of others. To aid you in this effort, think about the following four types of freedom and how the material from HIS 11 might relate to each one:
Freedom of Action (to do what you want)
Freedom of Conscience (to say or think what you want)
Freedom of Association (to have the friends or allies you want)
Economic Freedom (to choose how you work and what you buy)
Project Assignment:
Your project this semester is to trace the way
one (1)
of these four types of freedom developed, changed, and affected the lives of people and/or the shapes of societies over the span of the modern era. During the semester, you will write a series of essays (one short Response Paper and the Midterm Exam), which will help you develop your ideas about freedom and relate them to different historical examples. The last essay will be a
4-6 page paper
due by 11:59 PM
on December 4 2016
. All essays except the Midterm should be typed, double-spaced, in 12-point Times New Roman font, and turned in through SafeAssign on Blackboard.
Your semester project paper
must
contain the following elements:
A clear and concise thesis statement
Clearly identified sources of information (in footnotes or MLA citations)
Multiple historical examples that support your thesis
Your
thesis
will come from the following process:
Identify
one
of the four (4) types of freedom above that will be the theme of your project. (You will inform me of your choice in your first response paper.)
Choose three (3) major events, subjects, or historical figures covered in the course materials this semester that you think relate to your chosen type of freedom. Each historical example should come from a different one of the ten units listed on the syllabus. In other words,
each example should cover a different place and time
—
do not
draw all of your examples from a single historical period or location.
Select three (3) primary sources from the documents listed on the HIS 11 Syllabus—one related to
each
example you chose above.

Background & Purpose This report will investigate a sensation.docx
Background & Purpose:
This report will investigate a sensation- or thrill seeking activity that could be a leisure or recreation activity that is taken to an extreme level. This assignment helps you to practice research, present different sides of an argument, and integrate your own evaluation of your chosen sensation- or thrill seeking behavior.
Topic: Young adults, such as students at UCD, are very likely to engage in thrill-seeking behavior. You will select a sensation seeking activity (subject to instructor approval) that exemplifies a leisure or recreational activity that is taken to an extreme level.
Task:
Write a well composed analytical paper that includes the following four components.
Introduction to the topic
Introduce your sensation- or thrill seeking activity and describe how this activity is done. Cite a real life example of it that you have researched. Use this example as your hook. It will be necessary to provide background information about why this activity might be classified as a thrill- or sensation seeking activity and what may be the motivation for individuals to engage in this activity.
Analysis of risks and rewards
Next, provide analysis of why this activity is both risky and rewarding for its participants. In this portion of the paper, discuss what risk factors participants have to deal with in order to do their activity and why such factors are important. Address any possible outcomes that may occur if the activity goes awry. Balance your analysis with a discussion of the possible payoffs participants may gain from doing this activity. Point out any rewards the participants may reap while achieving their goals.
Argument
Lastly, use the information from your analysis to argue whether engaging in this activity is truly dangerous or not. Be sure to develop your reasoning adequately in this section and consider 1-2 counterarguments.
Conclusion
Conclude your analysis by recommending whether this activity is a viable leisure or recreation activity for most people and point out what can be gained from observing such behaviors and those that participate in thrill- or sensation seeking activities.
Genre and Audience:
Your paper should be written in formal language for an educated audience. Use APA citation style and add a reference list at the end of the report. Prepare your paper with interesting headings for individual sections. If you choose, you may include images of the activity that may support your analysis give the reader a sense of the actual activity. However, you must include references to all sources and images that you use.
Sources to Consult
Your analysis must cite two of the required readings we read for this unit (readings we read after the midterm). In addition, you must include 2-3 additional sources that will supplement your analysis of the activity. It is recommended that these sources be from either scholarly sources, newspapers, or current events magazines. However, you are encourag ...

Final Research Paper Topic and PlanThe first step in the researc.docx
Final Research Paper Topic and Plan
The first step in the research process is selecting a topic that is both interesting and manageable. For this discussion, complete the following:
· Review the Final Research Paper instructions in Week Five, and identify three potential research topics.
· Describe methods that may be helpful in identifying and narrowing your research paper topic.
· Examine two scholarly sources that may prove valuable as you seek to defend your claims.
· Address why scholarly sources should be used to support your writing on the selected topic.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly sources, and properly cite any references
Social Media
The introduction of new technologies has significantly affected the social lives of many. These changes, which reflect how people use technology to interact, provide an example of trends that you might examine in your Final Research Paper. For this discussion, identify a significant change that has occurred in the way people communicate and share information, and reflect on the impact this change has had on individuals and society in general today (local and global). Keep in mind that not all social trends affect all groups in society to the same degree. In addition, examine the influence of social media on an individual’s personal and professional pursuits.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.
Final Research Paper
Research the responsibility of a critical thinker in a contemporary society. You may choose any topic that deals with a contemporary social concern. Examine the principles of critical thought in relation to the chosen societal concern, and consider the importance of ethics, moral reasoning, a research-based process to search for truth, and the advantages of information technology in gathering data.
Potential social concerns include, but are not limited to health (e.g., obesity, smoking, or underage drinking), poverty (e.g., homelessness, basic needs, or transportation issues), family relations and dynamics (e.g., teen violence, physical abuse, depression, or suicide), social media (e.g., privacy), immigration (e.g., illegal), and education (e.g., plagiarism and/or cheating).

Chapter 3
This document provides guidance on conceptual and theoretical frameworks, literature reviews, hypotheses, and definitions of terms for research. It discusses that frameworks provide perspectives and models used by researchers to organize their work. Theoretical frameworks apply theories to explain phenomena, while conceptual frameworks graphically present concepts and relationships. Literature reviews help establish connections to prior work, theories, and accuracy of research questions. Hypotheses tentatively explain variable relationships and must be testable. Definitions of terms clarify meanings within a study. Organization and criteria are outlined for effective literature reviews.

About The Semester Project
This course requires a long-term investigative project. This project will require the formation of teams. As a team you will be asked to
defend a claim about a relevant political concept or phenomenon, and to connect
each of the following cultural artifacts to a concept or set of related concepts addressed in this course:
·
· An event
· A film
· A book or short story
· A painting
· A sculpture
· A musical composition
This project must include an explanatory essay and a presentation, which you will turn in as a team. The explanatory essay must conform either to MLA format or the Chicago Manual of Style, and be of sufficient length to incorporate each of the examples listed above. Depending on the size of your team, the minimum page length shall vary as follows:
· For a single author, the minimum length shall be 12 full pages in standard manuscript form.
The presentation must involve every member of your team, and must be presented in the session during Finals Week.
Unlike other information tasks in this course, the Semester Project is an Open Task rather than a Direct Task (Please see the Big6 Information Literacy presentation for details about the difference). You and your team are asked to construct your topic together. In the past, successful teams have built their project in a variety of ways. Some have connected their project in Government to their own specific fields of study or interest. Others have synthesized two or three thematic areas from the list of content themes appearing on page 3 of this document. Remember also that for this project, the article you and your team compose should be a unified article, in that the reader should not be able easily to tell where one author ends and another begins; that is, if you have more than one member of your team.
This Project
mustinclude the following:
·
A single discernible thesis. This is the main idea of your project. This thesis
must be either
analytical or
expository in nature. It may serve an argumentative or persuasive purpose. However, the essay must conform to the Universal Intellectual Standards outlined by the
Foundation for Critical Thinking.
·
An appropriate thesis. Your team must relate the above cultural artifacts to a theme or concept in this course. In Federal Government, this means a topic connected to any of the following:
·
·
· Political theory or philosophy
· Political culture or Ideology
· US Constitutional Principles
· US Constitutional Provisions
· Themes of the US Constitution
· Federalism
· Public Opinion
· Political Socialization
· Information media
· Interest Groups
· Political pa.

Argument and Persuasion is a somewhat more challenging rhetorical mode to employ (than description or cause and effect) because it has to function successfully on three levels simultaneously. These are called the three “Levels of Appeal.” The levels are:
Logical/rational
Moral/ethical

Argumentative Essay
This writing assignment involves writing your Argumentative essay. Once you draft your essay and
revise, you may submit it for feedback. The feedback will help you revise the draft so you can submit it
as a final. The final version will be graded.
Option #1: Your Position on Pirated Movies
Develop a
thesis statement
on the topic of pirated movies (piracy hurts the economy by…, society can
prevent movie piracy by…, etc.) and write an argumentative essay. Strive for
at least three strong
arguments
in addition to a
counterargument and refutation
(see counterargument and refutation
details in the Top Ten Tips section). Using
argumentative topic sentences
that include your opinion for
each section can help ensure the majority of your essay is argumentative. Beginning of a sample topic
sentence: “The first way movie piracy hurts the economy is….” Then be sure to support that claim with
researched data.
Conclude each paragraph
with a sentence that summarizes the paragraph’s main
ideas.
Sample Thesis Statement:
Ideally, a thesis would include the major assignment objectives for the essay, which in this case would
be your claim/opinion, reasons why you have that opinion, and the counter-argument: “Movie piracy is
unethical because (add argument 1), (add argument 2), and (add argument 3), even though (add
counterargument focus).”
Note that a thorough thesis statement will include the
counterargument
in addition to your own
arguments.
See Top Ten Tips section for more thesis statement assistance.
Use
at least three
credible sources
(the author should be considered an expert on the topic in which he
or she writes; try Google Scholar to search), such as books, articles, and websites, to support your thesis.
Include a mix of
cited paraphrases, summaries, and quotes
in your argumentative research paper. Use
MLA format to create proper parenthetical citations as well as a
Works Cited

Should student writers be subject to having their work checked by anti-plagiarism software?
Why or why not?
•
Is anti-plagiarism software an effective deterrent to stealing published work? Why or why not?
•
You may choose another topic regarding electronic policing as well; just be sure that your main
thesis addresses the topic of

But if one were to take the time and look at Titian's "Venus of Urbino", you would realize Manet's work is making specific reference to this painting with a strong social commentary about the morals and values of the times and the way in which poverty have taken its toll on the poor in Paris.
Art continues to be a powerful force in drawing attention to social issues. For your discussion topic, briefly identify one instance in present-day culture where an individual communicated a social message in the form of a painting, film, commercial, billboard, poster, or any other visual mode of communication. Analyze your selection and describe the visual message represented.

Volunteers: Roles and Relationships
Board Governance & Volunteer Management
ASSIGNMENT DUE SUNDAY 3/15/20 8:00 pm NEW YORK TIME
APA format 1-3 pages within the references and in paper citations
Many nonprofit organizations cannot afford to employ staff for all the work that must be done to achieve organizational goals. Volunteers, then, are often integral contributors to organizational success. In order to ensure high volunteer retention, special care must be taken to design volunteer positions that are both interesting and meaningful to the volunteer and important to the organization.
Paid staff members are usually responsible for designing and delegating work to volunteers, so the relationship between the two groups is important. Volunteers need to know they are valued and appreciated for their contribution to the overall mission of the organization. Tensions arise when paid staff regard volunteers as somehow "less than" the staff or as an impediment to their getting their work done. The goal is for there to be a working relationship that satisfies the needs and desires of both groups.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review

Application Special Needs From a Variety of PerspectivesThroughou.docx
Application: Special Needs From a Variety of Perspectives
Throughout this course, you will be studying many topics related to children with special needs. The readings, content reviews, and Discussions will help you gain a valuable base of information. To expand your knowledge, the course Applications will offer ways to explore areas of special needs in more depth and increase your awareness of what it is like to teach and to parent a child with special needs, or to be someone who has been identified with a special need.
Before you begin the Week 1 Application, review the outline below in order to plan effectively.
Week 1: Write a Brochure on Early Intervention Services.
You will imagine yourself in the role of a Child Development Community Liaison for a nonprofit organization that provides programs related to infant/toddler healthy development. Your job is to create a brochure for infant/toddler program directors and caregivers informing them about your services.
Week 2: Interview with a Teacher or Caregiver.
You will have a choice of interviewing a teacher whose expertise is special education and who works with children ages 3–8, or a teacher or caregiver who has a child or children in his/her setting who have been identified with special needs.
Week 3: Research and Information Exchange, Part 1.
You will research a category of special needs that is of interest to you in order to gain a greater depth of knowledge.
Week 4: Research and Information Exchange, Part 2.
You will share, review, and reflect on fellow students' research on different categories of special needs.
Week 5: Interview with a Parent of a Child with Special Needs or with a Student or Adult with Special Needs.
You will have a choice of interviewing a parent or other close adult family member of a child with special needs, or a person with special needs who would like to share his or her experiences and perspectives.
Week 1: Write a Brochure on Early Intervention Services
As you have learned this week, early intervention services can include programs for infants and toddlers who may be at risk from biological or environmental issues that could lead to developmental delays or other special needs. One challenge to early intervention service providers is to ensure that they reach out and connect with families. All of the various types of infant and toddler programs in a community, including family day care homes, Early Start, faith-based programs, community organizations, can play an important role in connecting families to available early intervention services.
For your Application Assignment this week, imagine that you have been hired as a Child Development Community Liaison for a community organization called The Guidance Center Inc. In reality, this respected, not-for-profit organization serves the communities of Cambridge and Somerville in Massachusetts. As part of The Guidance Center's Early Childhood Services for ages 0–6 , their Infant-Toddler Services include four p.
Application Theoretical FrameworksEarlier weeks have focused on t.docx
Application: Theoretical Frameworks
Earlier weeks have focused on the importance of identifying and evaluating relevant scholarly literature, and then creating a synthesis that forms the literature review. In designing studies on social problems and in policy arenas, researchers build on these findings from earlier studies, often with new topics in the same or a related field, or with new populations, research design, or research methods.
This is described in your research text in the context of identifying elements to study, together with their relevance and relationships, as “investigators integrate their ideas, the observations of others, the research literature, and their own research” (O’Sullivan, Rassel, & Berner, 2008, p. 7). Just as scholarly researchers base their study designs on related research literature, so, too, must they investigate and apply various theories. Theories, in both researchers’ own and related disciplines, are built on and developed from earlier theories. In order to understand and be able to apply theories to research in public policy and administration, one must “appreciate the historical contexts through which it has developed and the cultural milieus during which important contributions were made to its body of ideas and knowledge” (Shafritz, Ott, & Jang, 2016, p. 2).
An illustration of the networks, connections, and processes among three theories in a theoretical framework will provide the visual that may help to stimulate your thinking about your work on a theoretical framework, and its relationship to your literature synthesis .
Examine the literature in your readings and search peer-reviewed journal articles, to analyze how the theoretical frameworks you are considering using have been used in other research. In 1–2 pages, justify your selection of the two theoretical frameworks you identified in this week’s Discussion. In what way are the theoretical frameworks applicable to your proposed research? Provide examples from the literature. Explain the appropriateness to public policy and administration.

Application The Civil Service SystemHow do public adminis.docx
Application: The Civil Service System
How do public administrators become public administrators? Who recruits, selects, and hires them? How are they paid, promoted, and evaluated? The civil service system is similar to the human resources (HR) department at a private organization. That is, it is concerned with all of the issues and tasks related to employment within the organization. Since the "organization" in this case is the government, there also are many differences between the civil service system and the human resources practices at most private companies. Government organizations have very specific, rigid processes for recruitment, selection, promotion, and appraisal of employees. Many of these processes have been in place since the 19th century. For example, prospective civil servants must pass exams before even being considered for a government position. This is part of the merit system, which is one of the foundational principles of the civil service system. The merit system is based on the idea that the most qualified person should fill each position, rather than a person who simply has the "right" political connections. In addition, government positions all are given a specific classification, which determines the rate of pay. Although these rules sound logical in theory, in practice they often become extremely complicated, leading to dishonesty and inefficiency. As a result, efforts at civil service reform are common and span throughout history, from the Pendleton Act of 1881, to President George W. Bush's push for competitive sourcing in 2001. In this assignment, you examine what the civil service system comprises, as well as how it might be improved.
The assignment (2–3 pages):
Due Thursday 6/11/2015
In your own words, define the civil service system.
Explain the major components of the civil service system.
Explain one way in which you might improve the civil service system.
Explain why you would choose to implement this improvement and what its positive results might be.

Then describe the type(s) of personal actions you could take, with the support of the organization, to contribute to your community. Explain why you chose these particular actions and how this involvement aligns with Walden’s mission.
If you are already involved in community service activities, name and describe the organization with which you work. Also explain how you contribute to the organization’s activities.
Note
: The purpose of this Application is to encourage you to begin thinking about what you might do to contribute to your community. You are not required to volunteer or take part in any activities. The objective is to begin thinking about ways you could apply the Walden mission.

An outline for the research paperAn important part of our course i.docx
- 1. An outline for the research paper An important part of our course is researching information on diversity and multiculturalism and its social, cultural, and ethical impact upon individual citizens, groups of people, and society at large. Below are four scenarios pertaining to cultural diversity. For this assignment, you will prepare a research paper that focuses on one of these scenarios, analyzing what happened, what the consequences either are or might be, and how the situation can be corrected and or prevented in the future.
