Argument and Persuasion is a somewhat more challenging rhetorica.docx

hirstcruz

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 Discuss the issues you find in these writers that you feel are most important today. .

Are humans experiencing microevolution due to natural selection? If yes, propose an example. If no, explain why not. Cite your source(s) at the end of your post. What is the distinction between micro and macroevolution? Can one accept one idea and not the other? Explain your answer and cite your source(s). If we maintain a strict biological definition of “species”, H. sapiens and H. neanderthalensis were NOT separate species as they successfully interbred. What impact might this information have on assigning a date to the origin of humans? Are there any other implications? Cite your source(s) at the end of your post. Throughout the past seven modules you have been presented with an introduction to evolutionary theory and some lines of evidence for its validity. There are many websites that purport to illustrate the falsity of evolution. Go online and research a single argument that one of these sites makes against evolution.

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.

ApplicationVolunteers Roles and RelationshipsBoard Governanc.docx

hirstcruz

Application: 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 Chapter 4 in the course text, Volunteer Managemen t . Think about how you might include nongoverning volunteers in an organization. Consider what positions might foster an active and highly-motivated commitment to the mission of an organization. Review Chapter 13 in the course text, Volunteer Management . Pay close attention to the importance of staff–volunteer relationships and how integration and support of the two groups might enhance the mission of an organization. Consider how volunteer and staff diversity might influence an organization and what strategies you might use to foster positive attitudes and relationships within your organization. The assignment (1-3 pages): Briefly describe a volunteer position in an organization with which you are familiar (your Final Project organization or another). Explain the roles and tasks of this volunteer position based on the four "game characteristics" described in Chapter 4 of Volunteer Management . Based on the position you selected and the roles and tasks associated with it, predict what might be required of a supervising staff member to ensuOr will will will contact with the part of the Month after the id staff and a nongoverning volunteer in this position.

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.

Application Theoretical FrameworksEarlier weeks have focused on t.docx

hirstcruz

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. Support your Application Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation .

Application The Civil Service SystemHow do public adminis.docx

hirstcruz

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. Application Assignments must be in APA style and format .

Application: Collective Action for Social Movements For every historical figure known for making significant, if not revolutionary, shifts in society, there were many people working in support of addressing the same social issue. It is a disservice to the person and his or her peer activists to ignore the many individual contributions that result in and depend on social change. Having a good understanding of the history of social movements is essential to creating social change today. For this assignment, you explore an example of social change from history and consider the individual and collective roles involved. To prepare for this Assignment: Read Loeb’s reflection on Rosa Parks (2010, p. 1) in the Learning Resources for an example of individual versus collective efforts to promote social change. Use the Walden Library to research and locate an article on one of the following social movements: African American civil rights, Chicano movement, American Indian or ”Red Power” movement, women’s rights, LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) rights, or disability rights. As you review selected resources, look for both direct and indirect references to the human resources required to transform this issue into a movement. The Assignment: Write a 2-page analysis responding to the following questions: What did the collective effort accomplish that an individual could not? In what ways does group involvement cause these movements to be sustainable or have long-lasting impact? Include one reference from your selected resources on a social movement and two references from this week’s Learning Resources using proper APA citation .

Application: Access to Quality Health Care for Vulnerable Populations Access to quality health care for disparate populations is a critical challenge for today's health care organizations and for the health care system as a whole. In this Application Assignment, you will describe the advantages and challenges facing the health care system in providing equal access to quality health care. To prepare for this Application Assignment, consider how health care is delivered to populations who are sometimes affected by the Healthy People assigned focus area you were previously assigned. To complete this Application Assignment, write a 2- to 3-page paper (essay style) that addresses the following: What two obstacles confront vulnerable/underserved populations when they attempt to obtain quality health care Healthy People assigned focus area (e.g., a prevention program, screening program, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation)? Be specific. Name and describe two intervention programs that have addressed these obstacles (e.g., prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation). You can find examples of these on the internet or by searching the library databases (CINAHL). Try searching with your Healthy People area (i.e. obestiy; heart disease) as a key term as well as the word "intervention" or "program"). You may also try looking at professional organizations that address that health issue. For example, the American Diabetes Association sponsors a program called "Project Power" which addresses diabetes type 2 among African Americans—specifically for church settings. In your paper, summarize the programs by including the following: The name of the program The type of program (hospital based; for churches; online program, etc.) Who has implemented the program (researchers, professional group, university, state, etc.) and where was it implemented: For example, training programs are sometimes offered by commercial businesses and programs or activities are sometimes sponsored by federal government or professional organizations. The types of services the program provides How the program has addressed disparities The achievements of the program Does it address the issue of culture? How so? Is there any evidence that it has been successful? Your written assignments must follow APA guidelines (6th edition).

APA WORD COUNT 900 WordsQuestion What are Vandana Shivas views.docx

hirstcruz

APA WORD COUNT 900 Words Question: What are Vandana Shiva's views of development and progress as they relate to land use and control of environmental systems? Here are some notes the professor emailed me: The important point to note in responding to this question is that Shiva thinks that the contemporary, Western "capitalist, corporatist" conception of what development is and what progress is veers very far from what she sees as genuine development and progress. What development and progress mean for an agricultural corporation like Monsanto is something quite different than what it means for the poor farmers who must both compete with and defend themselves against the onslaught of giant agri-business. Remember, she is coming at things from a feminist position, which sees much of history and the cultural structures built on historical frameworks of both Western (white) male dominance and the attendant suppression of women's voices and women's and children's rights as supremely unjust. Think about who Shiva thinks should be in control of the land; what does she see as true progress and beneficial development for society? What specific views is she fighting against? Why do some people think she comes on too strong and even hurts the feminist cause? What do you think of her efforts? She is very famous and has an almost-saintlike appeal to her followers. *I need to have this assignment back to me by tomorrow night, please. After I receive it, I will make the full payment for both assignments. .

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...

Levi Shapiro

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg, The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation. This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability. Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots. The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee. • The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act. • The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X. • The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf

kaushalkr1407

The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence. The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth. Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration. The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority. Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages. Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...

Sandy Millin

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024 Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error. Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials. This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative

Peter Windle

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction. This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
