PLEASE NOTE: You must incorporate a tertiary source and at least one secondary source to substantiate your analysis.
Keep in mind that primary sources can come in many forms. They can be maps, diaries, letters, memoirs, newspaper articles, government documents, posters, pamphlets, photographs, advertisements, paintings, films, novels, songs—just to name a few. If your source comes in a non-textual form (such as a film), please submit it to me in the form appropriate for its genre (such as a video or DVD, etc.).
The purpose of this assignment is to work on how to analyze a primary source. Your goal is to analyze your source excerpt as
deeply and as thoroughly
as possible. Do not simply provide a general summary or overview of your source. Think concretely and
critically
about its content, its historical context, the historical cultural values that shape it, and its relevance to your research. What are the author’s tone, style, and argument? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Read between the lines to discover its biases and assumptions. Depending on the nature of the primary source you select, the source may be as short as a paragraph or two or as long as dozens of pages.
In structuring your Primary Source Analysis Essay, you should address the following questions. Do not simply list answers to the questions below.
Rather, you must write your paper in essay form.
It should have an introduction, several body paragraphs, and a conclusion. You do not need to address the questions in order, but be sure that you address the questions
that are relevant to your source
in your essay. Your essay must be a polished piece of writing. I will grade it for both content and style.
Basic Identification
1. What type of source is it? (newspaper article, map, letter, film, etc.)
2. When was it created?
3. Where was it created?

2. How might the factors listed in the question above shape the author’s perspective in this source?
3. Why do you think the author created this source?
4. Does the author have an argument? If so, what is it?
5. Who is the intended audience for this source?
6. How might the intended audience shape the perspective of this source?

At the beginning of this week, I felt finding references for my research paper was a little bit difficult. My topic is “women in mass media” and my research question is “Why women are affected by the media the most?” I tried to search articles that were related to my research question through Cypress Library, Gale Literary Sources, and I found two articles from this source. They are “Selling the self: women and the feminine seduction of advertising” of Kristine Blair and “Gender Issues in Advertising Language” of Nancy Artz. In addition, I also did another searching on other resources and found one more article that was “The Role of the Media in Body Image Concerns Among Women: A Meta-Analysis of Experimental and Correlational Studies” of Shelly Grabe. Overall, there was nothing resource that I thought it was the least helpful this week. However, I thought the Gale Literary Sources of Cypress Library was most helpful for me because it provided me two articles. During finding sources, I used keywords, such as “women”, “media effects”, and “advertising”, and I refined my keywords as I went along. Moreover, I also found more keywords, such as “meta-analysis” and “body image”. The database provided the most material for my topic was the result of the experiment in the article “The Role of the Media in Body Image Concerns Among Women: A Meta-Analysis of Experimental and Correlational Studies”. I did not find sources from credible Internet sources. According to these article, I was able to find specific statistics to add to my essay. My impression overall of my research experience is writing a research paper is not easy and requires the writer to take time and follow the procedure to achieve it.

I had to research on my topic of, the impact of social media on society. I was surprised how difficult it was to actually find some research. Being that this topic is so relevant in this day and age, I thought I would find what I needed much easier. I read online day and night researching different things, but mostly things related to medicine. I am also very used to Google as a go to source, which I am sure is used most by everyone for quick information. I did find a good amount of information on the Pew Research Center which was very helpful. I ended up finding info that supported my points but was surprised to fin ...

Overview:
Music has long been used by movements seeking social change. In the 1950s and '60s, this was
particularly true, as successful black and white musicians openly addressed the issues of the day.
During the '60s, popular white singers such as Bob Dylan and Joan Baez lent both their names and
their musical talents to the American Civil Rights Movement. In fact, music long assisted those
working to win civil rights for African Americans. Freedom songs, often adapted from the music of the
black church, played an essential role in bolstering courage, inspiring participation, and fostering a
sense of community.

If there are questions or points associated with your chosen topic, be sure to answer all of the listed questions and address all of the items in that topic. If your topic asks you to do several things related to the topic, be sure to do each of the things listed.
The listed topics each have a certain writing genre with it (written speech, memo, poem with essay, scripted dialogue, etc). From this you can see that there is a fun, creative writing aspect to this assignment. In most cases students should stick with the genre as listed. However, your instructor might suggest some alternative genre on one of the topics. As a student, you also can propose to your instructor some alternative genre for the topic you choose—something different from what is listed.

Essay #4 Prompt – Pop Music Good or BadContext Music is o.docx
Essay #4 Prompt – Pop Music: Good or Bad?
Context: Music is one of the most popular forms of entertainment in today’s society. Whether it’s on iTunes, Pandora, Spotify, the radio, or even in the grocery store, people listen to music every day. Even music-themed television shows like Glee, The Voice, X Factor, and American Idol are seemingly everywhere. While pop culture is fun and entertaining, it also reflects and influences a culture. As we see in “Body Rituals of the Nacirema,” one can interpret the values and the beliefs of a culture based on the artifacts and activities of that culture. It is arguable that anthropologists 100 years from now will analyze the music that we listen to in order to make judgments regarding our society’s beliefs and values.
Prompt: For your essay, choose one American pop song from the following list. First, you will describe the song and what its message is. Second, you will argue whether or not the song has a positive or negative impact on society:
“23” by Mike WiLL Made-it ft. Miley Cyrus.
“Applause” by Lady Gaga
“Berzerk” by Eminem
“Black Skinhead” by Kanye West
“Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke
“The Fox” by Ylvis
“Gorilla” by Bruno Mars
“Hold On, We’re Going Home” by Drake
“Holy Grail” by Jay-Z ft. Justin Timberlake
“Mirrors” by Justin Timberlake
“Radioactive” by Imaginedragons
“Roar” by Katy Perry
“Royals” by Lorde
“Safe and Sound” by Capital Cities
“Same Love” by Macklemore
“Summertime Sadness” by Lana Del Rey
“That’s My Kind of Night” by Luke Bryan
“Wake Me Up!” by Avicii
“Work Bitch!” by Britney Spears
“Wrecking Ball” by Miley Cyrus
In your essay, be sure to use specific examples from the song’s lyrics (or the official music video for the song) to support your argument. Since many things are neither absolutely good nor absolutely bad, it may be appropriate for you to qualify your argument regarding which group or audience the show impacts positively or negatively.
As you brainstorm, consider the following questions: which of these songs do you like? Why do you like them? What songs are popular that you don’t like? Why not? What are the morals be put forth by the lyrics or the artists in the above songs? How do they compare to the values our society seems to promote? What does the target audience of the music seem to be? Is it kids? Adults? Partiers? Hipsters? A certain culture, ethnic, or religious group? Is the content of the song seemingly “low brow” or “high brow?” Would you be ok with your children listing to this song? Would you be comfortable if your parents listened to it? What seems to be the purpose of the song? Is it a dance song? A love song? A pop song? These can help you with your argument of whether or not the song is a good influence on society.
Note: if you don’t like what’s on the above list, you may be free to run any piece of popular culture (a movie, a book, a TV show, etc.) by me. My only stipulation is that it be culturally significant (not necessarily in ...

Assignment 2: Recipe for Success!
Every individual approaches life and situations differently. We all use communication as a means to express ourselves. However, communication is as much about listening as it is about talking. Communication is a mutual exchange.
Everyone has had a disagreement with someone in which the other person may respond with “You aren’t listening to me!” or “You don’t understand me!” The fact is, you are not validating the other person or are perceived as someone who is not providing validation. Validation can defuse a potentially explosive scenario.
Consider your personal experiences and communication skills.
What are the skills you use to communicate and how do they impact your interactions with others?
How do you plan to manage conflict communication?
Do you set a goal for the outcome you are seeking to achieve?
Do you consider your audience?
What point of view do you try to convey?
What is your message or argument in communication?
Have you ever applied the principles above? Have they worked for you? If not, what has worked for you?
Write your responses in two to three paragraphs

Assignment 2: Secure Intranet Portal Login
Background:
You are the security professional for a medium-sized manufacturing company. The organization would like to deploy a secure portal for in-house use only. The portal will be available from the company's intranet. The company is utilizing a Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) server to run the local intranet website. The portal will be created by in-house programming staff utilizing ASP.NET technology and scripting.
The management requires the login to be protected using Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). In addition, the management would like to use an integrated login so that users do not have to remember or create a separate username or password for this portal login. The company is using a Windows Server 2012 Active Directory infrastructure. All users logging on to the portal also have existing active directory user accounts. The company also has an in-house Windows Server that serves as a local certificate authority for other existing web applications and services.
Tasks:
Create a 4- to 5-page report that will be shared with the company's board of directors, providing guidance and recommendations on how to best secure the web portal. Your report should cover the following aspects:
Describe what Windows-integrated authentication is and how it could potentially be used to provide secure access control to the portal.
Describe the use of Windows security groups and explain how a connection to active directory could be performed using the existing technology (existing IIS server and Windows Server 2012 Active Directory).
Describe how Windows certificate services work. Recommend a solution that would utilize the in-house Windows certificate authority server to provide a certificate to the new portal.
Explain how users can connect and log on to the portal in a secure fashion using secured socket layer (SSL) or HTTPS to ensure that all login credentials and activities on the portal are secure and encrypted.
Ensure that you write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Instructions for Primary Source Analysis
Primary Source Analysis due: 6 March
(worth 15%)
primary-source-analysis-rubric
Primary sources are sources created in the historical period being researched and by historical actors themselves. (Contrast this with secondary sources, which are after-the-fact scholarly analyses of the past.) For this assignment, you will submit to me a 2-3 page analysis of that source along with instructions as to how I can access your source (or a copy of the source attached to your essay). PLEASE NOTE: You must incorporate a tertiary source and at least one secondary source to substantiate your analysis.
Keep in mind that primary sources can come in many forms. They can be maps, diaries, letters, memoirs, newspaper articles, government documents, posters, pamphlets, photographs, advertisements, paintings, films, novels, songs—just to name a few. If your source comes in a non-textual form (such as a film), please submit it to me in the form appropriate for its genre (such as a video or DVD, etc.).
The purpose of this assignment is to work on how to analyze a primary source. Your goal is to analyze your source excerpt as
deeply and as thoroughly
as possible. Do not simply provide a general summary or overview of your source. Think concretely and
critically
about its content, its historical context, the historical cultural values that shape it, and its relevance to your research. What are the author’s tone, style, and argument? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Read between the lines to discover its biases and assumptions. Depending on the nature of the primary source you select, the source may be as short as a paragraph or two or as long as dozens of pages.
In structuring your Primary Source Analysis Essay, you should address the following questions. Do not simply list answers to the questions below.
Rather, you must write your paper in essay form.
It should have an introduction, several body paragraphs, and a conclusion. You do not need to address the questions in order, but be sure that you address the questions
that are relevant to your source
in your essay. Your essay must be a polished piece of writing. I will grade it for both content and style.
Basic Identification
1. What type of source is it? (newspaper article, map, letter, film, etc.)
2. When was it created?
3. Where was it created?
4. Who created it?
Author’s Intent
1. What is the author’s place in society? (profession, status, class, gender, ethnicity, etc.)
2. How might the factors listed in the question above shape the author’s perspective in this source?
3. Why do you think the author created this source?
4. Does the author have an argument? If so, what is it?
5. Who is the intended audience for this source?
6. How might the intended audience shape the perspective of this source?
Historical Context
1. Under what specific historical circumstances was this source created?
2. What larger.

At the beginning of this week, I felt finding references for my research paper was a little bit difficult. My topic is “women in mass media” and my research question is “Why women are affected by the media the most?” I tried to search articles that were related to my research question through Cypress Library, Gale Literary Sources, and I found two articles from this source. They are “Selling the self: women and the feminine seduction of advertising” of Kristine Blair and “Gender Issues in Advertising Language” of Nancy Artz. In addition, I also did another searching on other resources and found one more article that was “The Role of the Media in Body Image Concerns Among Women: A Meta-Analysis of Experimental and Correlational Studies” of Shelly Grabe. Overall, there was nothing resource that I thought it was the least helpful this week. However, I thought the Gale Literary Sources of Cypress Library was most helpful for me because it provided me two articles. During finding sources, I used keywords, such as “women”, “media effects”, and “advertising”, and I refined my keywords as I went along. Moreover, I also found more keywords, such as “meta-analysis” and “body image”. The database provided the most material for my topic was the result of the experiment in the article “The Role of the Media in Body Image Concerns Among Women: A Meta-Analysis of Experimental and Correlational Studies”. I did not find sources from credible Internet sources. According to these article, I was able to find specific statistics to add to my essay. My impression overall of my research experience is writing a research paper is not easy and requires the writer to take time and follow the procedure to achieve it.

I had to research on my topic of, the impact of social media on society. I was surprised how difficult it was to actually find some research. Being that this topic is so relevant in this day and age, I thought I would find what I needed much easier. I read online day and night researching different things, but mostly things related to medicine. I am also very used to Google as a go to source, which I am sure is used most by everyone for quick information. I did find a good amount of information on the Pew Research Center which was very helpful. I ended up finding info that supported my points but was surprised to fin ...

Overview:
Music has long been used by movements seeking social change. In the 1950s and '60s, this was
particularly true, as successful black and white musicians openly addressed the issues of the day.
During the '60s, popular white singers such as Bob Dylan and Joan Baez lent both their names and
their musical talents to the American Civil Rights Movement. In fact, music long assisted those
working to win civil rights for African Americans. Freedom songs, often adapted from the music of the
black church, played an essential role in bolstering courage, inspiring participation, and fostering a
sense of community.
For your final project in this course, you will explore a special topic and artist in American Music that
is connected to American society and culture. Then you will create a PowerPoint presentation to
share with the class and exhibit what you have learned.

Essay #4 Prompt – Pop Music Good or BadContext Music is o.docx
Essay #4 Prompt – Pop Music: Good or Bad?
Context: Music is one of the most popular forms of entertainment in today’s society. Whether it’s on iTunes, Pandora, Spotify, the radio, or even in the grocery store, people listen to music every day. Even music-themed television shows like Glee, The Voice, X Factor, and American Idol are seemingly everywhere. While pop culture is fun and entertaining, it also reflects and influences a culture. As we see in “Body Rituals of the Nacirema,” one can interpret the values and the beliefs of a culture based on the artifacts and activities of that culture. It is arguable that anthropologists 100 years from now will analyze the music that we listen to in order to make judgments regarding our society’s beliefs and values.
Prompt: For your essay, choose one American pop song from the following list. First, you will describe the song and what its message is. Second, you will argue whether or not the song has a positive or negative impact on society:
“23” by Mike WiLL Made-it ft. Miley Cyrus.
“Applause” by Lady Gaga
“Berzerk” by Eminem
“Black Skinhead” by Kanye West
“Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke
“The Fox” by Ylvis
“Gorilla” by Bruno Mars
“Hold On, We’re Going Home” by Drake
“Holy Grail” by Jay-Z ft. Justin Timberlake
“Mirrors” by Justin Timberlake
“Radioactive” by Imaginedragons
“Roar” by Katy Perry
“Royals” by Lorde
“Safe and Sound” by Capital Cities
“Same Love” by Macklemore
“Summertime Sadness” by Lana Del Rey
“That’s My Kind of Night” by Luke Bryan
“Wake Me Up!” by Avicii
“Work Bitch!” by Britney Spears
“Wrecking Ball” by Miley Cyrus
In your essay, be sure to use specific examples from the song’s lyrics (or the official music video for the song) to support your argument. Since many things are neither absolutely good nor absolutely bad, it may be appropriate for you to qualify your argument regarding which group or audience the show impacts positively or negatively.
As you brainstorm, consider the following questions: which of these songs do you like? Why do you like them? What songs are popular that you don’t like? Why not? What are the morals be put forth by the lyrics or the artists in the above songs? How do they compare to the values our society seems to promote? What does the target audience of the music seem to be? Is it kids? Adults? Partiers? Hipsters? A certain culture, ethnic, or religious group? Is the content of the song seemingly “low brow” or “high brow?” Would you be ok with your children listing to this song? Would you be comfortable if your parents listened to it? What seems to be the purpose of the song? Is it a dance song? A love song? A pop song? These can help you with your argument of whether or not the song is a good influence on society.
Note: if you don’t like what’s on the above list, you may be free to run any piece of popular culture (a movie, a book, a TV show, etc.) by me. My only stipulation is that it be culturally significant (not necessarily in ...

Assignment 2: Recipe for Success!
Every individual approaches life and situations differently. We all use communication as a means to express ourselves. However, communication is as much about listening as it is about talking. Communication is a mutual exchange.
Everyone has had a disagreement with someone in which the other person may respond with “You aren’t listening to me!” or “You don’t understand me!” The fact is, you are not validating the other person or are perceived as someone who is not providing validation. Validation can defuse a potentially explosive scenario.
Consider your personal experiences and communication skills.
What are the skills you use to communicate and how do they impact your interactions with others?
How do you plan to manage conflict communication?
Do you set a goal for the outcome you are seeking to achieve?
Do you consider your audience?
What point of view do you try to convey?
What is your message or argument in communication?
Have you ever applied the principles above? Have they worked for you? If not, what has worked for you?

Assignment 2 Secure Intranet Portal LoginBackgroundYou are the.docx
Assignment 2: Secure Intranet Portal Login
Background:
You are the security professional for a medium-sized manufacturing company. The organization would like to deploy a secure portal for in-house use only. The portal will be available from the company's intranet. The company is utilizing a Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) server to run the local intranet website. The portal will be created by in-house programming staff utilizing ASP.NET technology and scripting.
The management requires the login to be protected using Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). In addition, the management would like to use an integrated login so that users do not have to remember or create a separate username or password for this portal login. The company is using a Windows Server 2012 Active Directory infrastructure. All users logging on to the portal also have existing active directory user accounts. The company also has an in-house Windows Server that serves as a local certificate authority for other existing web applications and services.
Tasks:
Create a 4- to 5-page report that will be shared with the company's board of directors, providing guidance and recommendations on how to best secure the web portal. Your report should cover the following aspects:
Describe what Windows-integrated authentication is and how it could potentially be used to provide secure access control to the portal.
Describe the use of Windows security groups and explain how a connection to active directory could be performed using the existing technology (existing IIS server and Windows Server 2012 Active Directory).
Describe how Windows certificate services work. Recommend a solution that would utilize the in-house Windows certificate authority server to provide a certificate to the new portal.
Explain how users can connect and log on to the portal in a secure fashion using secured socket layer (SSL) or HTTPS to ensure that all login credentials and activities on the portal are secure and encrypted.
Ensure that you write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Assignment 2: Required Assignment 1—The FMLA in Practice
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was enacted in 1993 and entitles eligible employees of employers covered under it to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specific family and medical reasons. During this leave, group health insurance coverage continues under the same terms and conditions applicable if the employees had not taken leave.
You may access the latest rules covered under the FMLA at the following Web site:
U.S. Department of Labor. (n.d.)
Wage and Hour Division (WHD): Family Leave and Medical Act
. Retrieved from
http://www.dol.gov/whd/fmla/
In this assignment, you will analyze the FMLA policy of an organization to understand the policy's role and importance in employee management.

What are three alternative methods of calculating twelve weeks of leave within a twelve-month period? Which method do you believe is the best and why?
An employee should give as much notice as possible to his or her employer. The Department of Labor suggests a minimum notice of thirty days. What if an employee needs emergency FMLA leave? Is the employee still allowed to take FMLA leave, although he or she was unable to give the thirty-day notice?
What are the legal ramifications if the same position is not available to an employee on his or her returning from FMLA leave?
During an employee's FMLA leave, Widgets Inc. downsizes and closes the department in which the employee works. What will happen to the employee? What are the legal ramifications?

Part I—Research Paper
This week, you will research laws or regulations related to the topic you selected. The information may require research of federal and/or state laws, as well as administrative agency laws. Compare the laws of two states, if applicable. For example, if you are writing about gender discrimination, compare the federal law with law from one of the states that also provides protection at the state level. State laws often provide more protection than the federal law. Summarize the information about the laws or regulations you found related to your topic.

Assignment 2 RA 2 Case ScenarioBackgroundThe defendant is a f.docx
Assignment 2: RA 2: Case Scenario
Background:
The defendant is a forty-year-old, single, black female charged with a first-degree assault. Specifically, she is alleged to have splashed liquid fire, a liquid drain cleaner, onto another woman's face, thus incidentally splashing five bystanders. Per the court order you received, Ms. Tyler was referred some time after the alleged crime for evaluation of her criminal responsibility. Her competency to stand trial (CST) was also at issue. At the time of the evaluation, Ms. Tyler was being held at the Southern County Detention Center. You met with Ms. Tyler. The defendant was informed that the results of the evaluation will be released to the court and that the results may be used against her in the court. Ms. Tyler gave her written consent to be evaluated.
Psychosocial History:
Only limited information is available regarding Ms. Tyler's background. She is a lifetime resident of the state. Her mother died of cancer at the age of seventy-nine years. Her father, L. Defendant, is eighty-four years old and is a retired farmer. Ms. Tyler has five living sisters, four living brothers, and two deceased siblings. Three of her sisters have received inpatient psychiatric treatment. One sister lives in Close Town, one in Europe with her husband who is in the military, and one sister died in a drowning accident. One brother committed suicide by hanging himself. There is no history of psychiatric problems among the other brothers.
Ms. Tyler has completed the tenth grade. She is literate. Ms. Tyler has worked on an assembly line for five years until 1988 when the factory closed. She then did an office-cleaning job. Her reasons for leaving this position are vague. She was unemployed for several years and was supported by her family. She lives in rent-free government housing. Her church pastor, A. Reverend, arranged for her to get employment at Helpful Industries through a vocational office at the State Psychiatric Hospital. She was employed at Helpful Industries for approximately two months prior to the incident. Ms. Tyler has never married. She has a thirteen-year-old son who lives with his father.
Psychiatric History:
Ms. Tyler denies any previous psychiatric treatment. Family members and individuals who know Ms. Tyler state that she has a long history of psychiatric symptoms such as loose associations and persecutory delusions. Ms. Tyler's sister, Ms. Sister, reports that Ms. Tyler has been violent in the past, threatening her niece with a knife. Her emotional difficulties were also apparently common knowledge among her congregation. As stated above, Ms. Tyler has a positive family history for psychiatric illness. Ms. Tyler is currently on haloperidol, an antipsychotic medication.
Ms. Tyler denies any alcohol or substance abuse. She states that she has one previous arrest for prostitution in 1975. She spent six months in jail for this offense.

Assignment 2 Pay Increase Demands of EmployeesYou are an HR manag.docx
Assignment 2: Pay Increase Demands of Employees
You are an HR manager with Spring Valley Laboratories. The organization pays its employees according to specific pay grades and ranges but maintains secrecy surrounding the specific numbers.
Nancy Lopez, a highly skilled medical technician, discovers that a male employee whose qualifications, experience, and job profile are similar to Nancy's is getting a considerably better package than she. Nancy serves a notice to the executive director, John Morrison, and threatens to resign if the organization does not grant her an immediate pay increase.
John does not want to lose Nancy because she is a skilled employee who has performed well in her eight-month career with the organization. John writes you an e-mail and seeks your advice on the case. You check Nancy's employment records and find that Nancy was given the compensation package that she had asked for during her final interview. You also find that Nancy's package is toward the lower limit of the pay range applicable for her job position. Nancy's salary is due for review after four months.
Based on this information frame your response to John. The response should answer the following:
Is Nancy's case a situation where a pay increase is called for? Why or why not? Justify your response with facts.
Is Nancy's case eligible as a pay inequity grievance? Why or why not? Explain.
How should Spring Valley Laboratories handle the situation? Provide John with a detailed plan of how the situation should be handled.
What impact would granting or not granting Nancy an immediate pay increase have on other employees? Why?
Articulate your response to John's e-mail. Your response should be in e-mail format and approximately two pages in MSWord. Use structured text (bolding, headings, bulleted lists, tables/charts) where appropriate to improve communicating your points. Send your email response to the

Assignment 2 Nuclear MedicineNuclear medicine is a specialized br.docx
Assignment 2: Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine is a specialized branch of modern medicine that exploits the process of radioactivity for imaging, diagnosis, and treatment. Many imaging techniques inject small amounts of radioactive material into the body, which are then tracked by a sensing device specific to the type of radiation emitted from that material. Radiation has also been used to destroy diseased tissue, typically beyond the reach of standard surgical techniques.
Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, write a paper on nuclear medicine. Address the following:
Explain the scientific and technical concepts related to nuclear medicine. Consider the following questions when you construct your response:
What type of radiation is typically exploited in most nuclear medicine procedures?
How are patients prepared for nuclear medicine procedures?
What are the advantages and limitations of nuclear medicine?
What ailments are typically diagnosed and treated via nuclear medicine procedures?
Evaluate a minimum of three applications of nuclear medicine relating to any of the following topics:
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans
Gallium scans

Assignment 2 RA 1 Human Service Needs Assessment ReportOver the .docx
Assignment 2: RA 1: Human Service Needs Assessment Report
Over the past two decades, the terms "accountability" and "program evaluation" have become the focus within the human services arena. Due to budgetary constraints and decrease in availability of public funding, the competition for scarce resources has increased. This increased competition has subjected human services agencies to an intense examination where requests for resources are scrutinized carefully.
The first step to conducting a program evaluation is to conduct a
needs assessment
to determine and justify the reason for carrying out the evaluation of a particular program. A need can be defined as the gap between what is and what should be and can be experienced by an individual, a group, or an entire community.
Tasks:
Using at least 3–5 scholarly resources from the professional literature, research human service needs assessment. The literature may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov).
Create a 7- to 9-page report in a Microsoft Word document, including the following:
Identify a program at a social agency or other human services program to which you have access and provide a description of the organizational context including the mission and objectives of the program and why an evaluation is being considered.
Conduct a
needs assessment
using concepts presented previously to confirm and explain the scope of the problem, the perceived versus actual gap in service, the affected population, whether the need is changing, and in what manner the need may be changing.
Identify possible resources to meet the perceived needs. Discuss what existing resources can be used, what additional information would be needed, and what sources for obtaining data you would use.
Identify the stakeholders who need to be included in the assessment and subsequent evaluation.
Analyze the interpersonal, political, and ethical considerations of interacting with decision makers and stakeholders who may have conflicting priorities and determine strategies for reconciling those priorities.

Assignment 2: Last Mile
The "last mile" is a term that is used to explain how the end user ultimately connects to a network. Regardless of which Internet service provider (ISP) a business or an individual uses, a network's connectivity, signal, noise ratios, and other network components are often determined by the last mile provider. Usually, there is only one, which makes it nearly impossible to have any form of true redundancy. It is an important element to understand while you study networking.
In this assignment, you will research and study the concept of the last mile and T1 communications.
Tasks:
Develop a 4- to 5-page paper and address the following:
Evaluate the last mile connection in terms of a link that is used between an end user and an ISP.
Explain the last mile link options that are typically available to most end users (such as cable and digital subscriber line [DSL] services). Keep in mind that these options are usually missing in small rural communities.
Identify two to three of the more common connections and summarize their associated data rates, typical uses, and approximate costs. Obtain the exact cost information from at least one of the service providers.
Examine the role that T1 communications lines play in long-distance communications in conjunction with repeaters.
Compare different carriers used by service providers (such as a telecommunication company versus a cable service provider). Also, differentiate the types of equipment used as carriers by these service providers.
Note
: Your paper should utilize at least three scholarly or professional sources (beyond your textbook). Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., in APA format); and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Part 1: Case Study 1: Textbook Chapter 2: "Security of Technical Systems in Organizations: An Introduction"
Many of the technical controls put into place can be circumvented with a simple phone call. Recently, famed hacker Kevin Mitnick demonstrated this, by breaking into Sprint's backbone network. Rather than mounting a buffer overrun or denial-of-service (DoS) attack, Mitnick simply placed a call posing as a Nortel service engineer and persuaded the staff at Sprint to provide log-in names and passwords to the company's switches, under the guise that he needed them to perform remote maintenance on the system. Once the password information had been obtained, Mitnick was able to dial in and manipulate Sprint's networks at will.
Many people believe this was an isolated incident, and they would not fall for a similar act of social engineering, but Mitnick gained notoriety during the 1980s and 1990s, by performing similar techniques on computer networks around the world. Mitnick's more notorious crimes included accessing computer systems at the Pentagon and the North American Defense Command (NORAD), and stealing software and source code from major computer manufacturers. Kevin Mitnick was arrested six times. He has been working as a consultant, specializing in social engineering techniques, having gone straight after serving a five-year sentence for his most recent crime. He has authored several books regarding social engineering, including
The Art of Intrusion
and
The Art of Deception
.
Create a 2- to 3-page report in a Microsoft Word document that includes responses to the following:
Analyze what procedures could help prevent a similar breach of security at your organization.
Phishing (the practice of luring unsuspected Internet users to fake Web sites by using authentic looking email) is usually associated with identity theft. Analyze whether this tactic could also be used to gain information needed to circumvent security controls. Why or why not?
Many social engineering breaches involve using what is believed to be insider information to gain the trust of individuals in an effort to obtain confidential information. Test your ability to obtain what some might consider insider information using a search engine to find contacts or other useful information referencing your organization. Report your findings.

Assignment 2 Music Analysis 3 pages pleasePURPOSE The purp.docx
- 1. Assignment 2: Music Analysis 3 pages please PURPOSE: The purpose of this assignment is to use content analysis to critically analyze how one social issue/problem is discussed and represented in popular culture through music lyrics. BACKGROUND: There are many agents of popular culture though which the messages, themes and symbols of popular culture are produced and consumed. Media is a key agent of popular culture, and within it music is one mode for the production and consumption of popular culture. The music of the 1960s marked a key period of transition in the United States as themes of social problems and dissidence started to fill the radio waves. This assignment will allow you to explore one social issue or problem in music today. See below (NOTE THAT THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS: OPTION 1 AND OPTION 2) for a detailed assignment description. Option 1 Instructions: 1) Choose one social issue or social problem (i.e. drugs, the environment, war, teenage pregnancy, hate crimes, etc.). 2) Find at least 5 songs with lyrics that address your chosen social issue/problem. You will need to cite these songs using proper APA formatting (see below). 3) Analyze the songs for similarities and differences in how they address the social issue/problem. You may: - look for themes within and among the songs (i.e. songs about war that talk about ‘ending war’ - consider the year the songs were copyrighted - consider the genre the song fits in - is the song directed at a particular audience? (think
- 2. socio-demographic characteristics: age, race/ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status (SES), and sexuality) - what type of vocabulary, words, grammar, euphemisms, vernacular is used for the lyrics? - Consider the actual production of the song as well: tempo, emotion, male/female singer, individual singer/band, etc. 4) Find at least two sources that address music and your social problem (i.e. the sources are providing similar analysis or commentary on how your social problem is addressed through music). These may be popular sources (i.e. magazine articles or websites), but Wikipedia is not acceptable. 5) Find at least one peer-reviewed article (see attached Finding Peer Reviewed Journals guidelines) that discusses your social issue problem and how it is portrayed by the media (ideally this would be focused on your social issue and problem, but this may be difficult to find – so an article on TV, radio, internet, movies is OK). 6) Write-up your paper a) Cover Page b) Clearly identify your chosen social issue/problem. a. Why are you interested in studying this? c) Write-up your analysis of how this social issue/problem is addressed in the 5 songs you chose a. NOTE: this is the majority of your paper. It is a ‘comparative critical’ analysis of how your chosen social issue/problem is addressed in these songs. It is NOT a summary of each song, and it should not include cutting and pasting the lyrics of all of the songs into the paper. b. Use the prompts in step 3 to help you organize this analysis c. Information about the singer/band should be a VERY minimal part of this analysis; the lyrics are the heart of the analysis d. APA-formatted in-text citations should be used
- 3. throughout this section d) Briefly describe the TWO sources you found that discuss music and your chosen social problem. a. Discuss how the analysis or commentary in these two sources compares to your analysis b. Remember your APA-formatted in-text citations e) Briefly describe your chosen peer-reviewed article. a. What is the main research question/thesis of the article b. What is the research method used in the article (i.e. survey, interview, content analysis, observation, experiment, etc.) c. What are the key findings of the article d. Discuss how the findings in this article can help you to better understand/explain your chosen social issue/problem and how it is addressed in your chosen songs e. Remember APA-formatted in-text citations f) Conclude by discussing how your analysis is helpful and relevant in the study of American Popular Culture
