Comparative Essay
Due Week 8 and worth 200 points
This “Assignment 2” writing assignment is a comparative essay focused on topics encountered in our HUM 111 class. The project will be based on research but will reflect your views and interpretation of the topic. This project is designed to help you stretch your mind and your abilities as an organized, innovative, and critical thinker. If approached properly, it should also be fun!
Choose one (1) of the topics from the list of topic choices below. Read the topic carefully. Write a three to four (3-4) page paper (750-1,000 words) that follows instructions and covers each part of the topic. (The title page and References list do not get included in this word count).
Note:
Your instructor may require you to submit your topic choice for approval before the end of Week 5.
For the topic you choose:
Establish a clear thesis about your topic as part of the introductory paragraph (often the thesis is the last thing one determines after doing the basic research and outline; however it will be placed in the first paragraph of your paper).
This is a comparative essay. Comparison approached properly will require some critical thinking on your part. Use a point-by-point approach for the essay. That means, if comparing subject A with subject B, don't do the first half of the essay on subject A and then the second half on subject B--that will seem like two (2) separate essays and comparisons will tend to get lost. Instead, you should be mentioning both subjects in most of your paragraphs as you compare them throughout the essay. Comparisons will identify similarities as well as contrasts.
Do not try to do everything on your two (2) subjects. You should end up narrowing your focus to a few insights and issues about the subjects being compared. And, from those fairly specific points of comparison, you will develop a thesis and glean some lessons.
Follow closely the instructions below for your specific topic.
Include a concluding paragraph at the end. This paragraph will, in some way, refer back to the thesis established in your first paragraph, since now you have demonstrated and supported it. It may be here that you also include your observations relating your study to the modern workplace or society (see your topic). Try to finish with flair!
Use at least three (3) good quality academic sources, with one (1) source being the class text.

Comparative Essay
Due Week 8 and worth 200 points
This “Assignment 2” writing assignment is a comparative essay focused on topics encountered in our HUM 111 class. The project will be based on research but will reflect your views and interpretation of the topic. This project is designed to help you stretch your mind and your abilities as an organized, innovative, and critical thinker. If approached properly, it should also be fun!
Choose one (1) of the topics from the list of topic choices below. Read the topic carefully. Write a three to four (3-4) page paper (750-1,000 words) that follows instructions and covers each part of the topic. (The title page and References list do not get included in this word count).
Note:
Your instructor may require you to submit your topic choice for approval before the end of Week 5.
For the topic you choose:
Establish a clear thesis about your topic as part of the introductory paragraph (often the thesis is the last thing one determines after doing the basic research and outline; however it will be placed in the first paragraph of your paper).
This is a comparative essay. Comparison approached properly will require some critical thinking on your part. Use a point-by-point approach for the essay. That means, if comparing subject A with subject B, don't do the first half of the essay on subject A and then the second half on subject B--that will seem like two (2) separate essays and comparisons will tend to get lost. Instead, you should be mentioning both subjects in most of your paragraphs as you compare them throughout the essay. Comparisons will identify similarities as well as contrasts.
Do not try to do everything on your two (2) subjects. You should end up narrowing your focus to a few insights and issues about the subjects being compared. And, from those fairly specific points of comparison, you will develop a thesis and glean some lessons.
Follow closely the instructions below for your specific topic.
Include a concluding paragraph at the end. This paragraph will, in some way, refer back to the thesis established in your first paragraph, since now you have demonstrated and supported it. It may be here that you also include your observations relating your study to the modern workplace or society (see your topic). Try to finish with flair!
Use at least three (3) good quality academic sources, with one (1) source being the class text.

Assignment 2 Tests of SignificanceThroughout this assignmen.docxkarenahmanny4c
Assignment 2: Tests of Significance
Throughout this assignment you will review mock studies. You will needs to follow the directions outlined in the section using SPSS and decide whether there is significance between the variables. You will need to list the five steps of hypothesis testing (as covered in the lesson for Week 6) to see how
every
question should be formatted. You will complete all of the problems. Be sure to cut and past the appropriate test result boxes from SPSS under each problem and explain what you will do with your research hypotheses.
All calculations should be coming from your SPSS
. You will need to submit the SPSS output file to get credit for this assignment. This file will save as a .spv file and will need to be in a single file. In other words, you are not allowed to submit more than one output file for this assignment.
The five steps of hypothesis testing when using SPSS are as follows:
State your research hypothesis (H
1
) and null hypothesis (H
0
).
Identify your significance level (.05 or .01)
Conduct your analysis using SPSS.
Look for the valid score for comparison. This score is usually under ‘Sig 2-tail’ or ‘Sig. 2’. We will call this “p”.
Compare the two and apply the following rule:
If “p” is < or = significance level, than you reject the null.
Be sure to explain to the reader what this means in regards to your study. (Ex: will you recommend counseling services?)
* Be sure that your answers are clearly distinguishable. Perhaps you bold your font or use a different color.
This assignment is due no later than Sunday of Week 6 by 11:55 pm ET. Save the file in the following format: [your last name_SOCI332_A2]. The file must be a word file.

Researches are interested in whether depressed people undergoing group therapy will perform a different number of activities of daily living after group therapy. The researchers have randomly selected 12 depressed clients to undergo a 6-week group therapy program.
Use the five steps of hypothesis testing to determine whether the average number of activities of daily living (shown below) obtained after therapy is significantly different from a mean number of activities of 17 that is typical for depressed people. (Clearly indicate each step).
Test the difference at the .05 level of significance and at the .01 level (in SPSS this means you change the “confidence level” from 95% to 99%).
As part of Step 5, indicate whether the behavioral scientists should recommend group therapy for all depressed people based.

Assignment 2 Physical Development in Early AdulthoodDuring earl.docxkarenahmanny4c
Assignment 2: Physical Development in Early Adulthood
During early adulthood, people begin make important life decisions in three areas: career, family, and health. Young adults establish patterns of nutrition and physical activity that can have either positive or negative effects on their physical development in later stages of adulthood. They also begin to make decisions about what career path to follow. At some point during early adulthood, individuals also choose either to marry or remain single, and decide whether or not to start a family. Consider the following example:
Jeff is 23 years old. He recently graduated from college with a business degree and took a managerial position with a midsize company. He likes his coworkers, but often finds himself bored with his work. Although he was active in college, recently he has gained about 10 pounds due to his sedentary job and lack of time to exercise. Jeff broke up with his college girlfriend after graduation, and since then he has dated a few different women, but hasn’t had another serious relationship. Jeff wonders what the remainder of his 20’s and his 30’s will bring.
Based on your reading, prepare a PowerPoint presentation that would help individuals like Jeff set goals related to career, health, and family. The presentations should discuss the relationship between lifestyle choices and health risks. In addition, it should address how factors like personality and attachment may influence both career- and family-related goals. Finally, address diversity in the presentation. Explain how your plan could be adapted to fit the needs of different socioeconomic or ethnic groups.
Your PowerPoint presentation should include an introduction, a conclusion, and detailed speaker’s notes. Include your references on one slide.
Develop a 6–8-slide presentation in PowerPoint format with speaker’s notes. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.ppt.

Assignment 2 Overview of Interviewing and InterrogationA criminal.docxkarenahmanny4c
Assignment 2: Overview of Interviewing and Interrogation
A criminal justice professional gathers information through effective interviews and interrogations. Ineffective victim or suspect interviews or interrogations can cost an investigator a case, and understanding the difference between an interview and an interrogation is critical in selecting an appropriate approach for a specific situation. Interviews and interrogations are dynamic, evolving situations, and developing interviewing and interrogation skills takes time and practice. Interrogation involves an accusatory, persuasive approach. Effective interviewers have the ability to quickly establish rapport with their subjects and gain complete, concise, and accurate information about crimes, additional witnesses, and suspects. Building rapport early helps take down barriers to open and clear communication, which is critical in conducting interviews and interrogations.

Assignment 2 Midweek Production Assignment Pendente Lite Support.docxkarenahmanny4c
Assignment 2: Midweek Production Assignment: Pendente Lite Support
Parents have a legal obligation to support their minor children. This gets complicated during the pendency of a divorce since the parties are not yet divorced and thus “final” orders cannot be entered. That does not relieve the parents of their obligation and if the non-custodial parent refuses support, a Motion must be filed with the Court to have the Court order the support. Further, read the scenario below and answer the following questions too.
Richard and Susan are in the process of a divorce. They had two children together during the course of their marriage. Richard refused to pay Susan child support for their children. Susan cannot support the children on her own and needs Richard to pay child support. Prepare a motion for Pendente Lite Child Support to compel Richard to pay Susan child support.

Assignment 2: Library Research—Training Police Recruits
Chief Draper has noticed that the behavior of many of his officers reflects a lack of understanding of many basic criminal justice concepts. Last week, he received a complaint about a patrol officer with ten years of experience on the force. The complaint alleged that the officer pulled over a car for a traffic violation and allowed the driver to leave with a verbal warning after the driver gave him free football game tickets. Another complaint involved the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) supervisor. In this complaint, it is alleged that the SWAT team broke down the door of a suspected drug dealer only to find that it had the wrong house. The team later found the suspected dealer at another location and arrested and interrogated him before reading the Miranda warnings. These are only a few of the complaints being reviewed, and Chief Draper believes that police recruits need more training on the following topics:
Discretion
Ethics
Probable cause
Plain view doctrine
Arrest
Good faith exception
Miranda
Reasonable suspicion
Use of force
Racial profiling
Tasks:
Prepare a 12- to 14-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation with your recommendations of the important points that should be addressed in the training of police recruits.
Devote at least one slide to each of the ten topics listed.
Use court cases to support your explanations.
Use the Notes section to provide for deeper exploration of each topic.
Include a cover slide and at least one slide at the end of your presentation to reference your sources, formatted in the APA style, that link back to your in-text citations and support your recommendations. See your Argosy Handbook or APA materials to properly cite your text.

Assignment 2: Midweek Production Assignment: Annulment Complaint
There are certain, limited reasons why an annulment would be granted instead of a divorce. What is the difference between the two, and why would it matter to Ashley, as it was granted in the case below? In preparing the Complaint, you need to state the reason. Is Dave’s change or acknowledgment of sexual preference enough?
Dave Johnson, 36, and Ashley, 33, married in October 2002. They live in West Virginia in an apartment owned by Dave. They do not have any children. Dave is an investment consultant, and Ashley works as a counselor in a high school. In August 2004, Dave starts his own firm with his friend John. Dave tells Ashley that he needs to spend time away from home during the setting-up phase, as he needs to create business plans and meet prospective clients.
In November 2004, after two years of marriage Dave tells Ashley that he is not in love with her anymore. He has realized that he is a homosexual and in love with his friend, John. Ashley wants the marriage annulled. Prepare a complaint for annulment on behalf of Ashley.
Use the template provided to prepare a complaint for annulment.

Assignment 2: Tests of Significance
Throughout this assignment you will review mock studies. You will needs to follow the directions outlined in the section using SPSS and decide whether there is significance between the variables. You will need to list the five steps of hypothesis testing (as covered in the lesson for Week 6) to see how
every
question should be formatted. You will complete all of the problems. Be sure to cut and past the appropriate test result boxes from SPSS under each problem and explain what you will do with your research hypotheses.
All calculations should be coming from your SPSS
. You will need to submit the SPSS output file to get credit for this assignment. This file will save as a .spv file and will need to be in a single file. In other words, you are not allowed to submit more than one output file for this assignment.
The five steps of hypothesis testing when using SPSS are as follows:
State your research hypothesis (H
1
) and null hypothesis (H
0
).
Identify your significance level (.05 or .01)
Conduct your analysis using SPSS.
Look for the valid score for comparison. This score is usually under ‘Sig 2-tail’ or ‘Sig. 2’. We will call this “p”.
Compare the two and apply the following rule:
If “p” is < or = significance level, than you reject the null.
Be sure to explain to the reader what this means in regards to your study. (Ex: will you recommend counseling services?)
* Be sure that your answers are clearly distinguishable. Perhaps you bold your font or use a different color.
This assignment is due no later than Sunday of Week 6 by 11:55 pm ET. Save the file in the following format: [your last name_SOCI332_A2]. The file must be a word file.

Researches are interested in whether depressed people undergoing group therapy will perform a different number of activities of daily living after group therapy. The researchers have randomly selected 12 depressed clients to undergo a 6-week group therapy program.
Use the five steps of hypothesis testing to determine whether the average number of activities of daily living (shown below) obtained after therapy is significantly different from a mean number of activities of 17 that is typical for depressed people. (Clearly indicate each step).
Test the difference at the .05 level of significance and at the .01 level (in SPSS this means you change the “confidence level” from 95% to 99%).

Assignment 2 Physical Development in Early AdulthoodDuring earl.docxkarenahmanny4c
Assignment 2: Physical Development in Early Adulthood
During early adulthood, people begin make important life decisions in three areas: career, family, and health. Young adults establish patterns of nutrition and physical activity that can have either positive or negative effects on their physical development in later stages of adulthood. They also begin to make decisions about what career path to follow. At some point during early adulthood, individuals also choose either to marry or remain single, and decide whether or not to start a family. Consider the following example:
Jeff is 23 years old. He recently graduated from college with a business degree and took a managerial position with a midsize company. He likes his coworkers, but often finds himself bored with his work. Although he was active in college, recently he has gained about 10 pounds due to his sedentary job and lack of time to exercise. Jeff broke up with his college girlfriend after graduation, and since then he has dated a few different women, but hasn’t had another serious relationship. Jeff wonders what the remainder of his 20’s and his 30’s will bring.
Based on your reading, prepare a PowerPoint presentation that would help individuals like Jeff set goals related to career, health, and family. The presentations should discuss the relationship between lifestyle choices and health risks. In addition, it should address how factors like personality and attachment may influence both career- and family-related goals. Finally, address diversity in the presentation. Explain how your plan could be adapted to fit the needs of different socioeconomic or ethnic groups.
Your PowerPoint presentation should include an introduction, a conclusion, and detailed speaker’s notes. Include your references on one slide.
Develop a 6–8-slide presentation in PowerPoint format with speaker’s notes. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.ppt.

Assignment 2 Overview of Interviewing and InterrogationA criminal.docxkarenahmanny4c
Assignment 2: Overview of Interviewing and Interrogation
A criminal justice professional gathers information through effective interviews and interrogations. Ineffective victim or suspect interviews or interrogations can cost an investigator a case, and understanding the difference between an interview and an interrogation is critical in selecting an appropriate approach for a specific situation. Interviews and interrogations are dynamic, evolving situations, and developing interviewing and interrogation skills takes time and practice. Interrogation involves an accusatory, persuasive approach. Effective interviewers have the ability to quickly establish rapport with their subjects and gain complete, concise, and accurate information about crimes, additional witnesses, and suspects. Building rapport early helps take down barriers to open and clear communication, which is critical in conducting interviews and interrogations.

That does not relieve the parents of their obligation and if the non-custodial parent refuses support, a Motion must be filed with the Court to have the Court order the support. Further, read the scenario below and answer the following questions too.
Richard and Susan are in the process of a divorce. They had two children together during the course of their marriage. Richard refused to pay Susan child support for their children. Susan cannot support the children on her own and needs Richard to pay child support. Prepare a motion for Pendente Lite Child Support to compel Richard to pay Susan child support. Use the template to draft the motion.

Assignment 2 Miranda RightsAs you learned in your readings, befor.docxkarenahmanny4c
Assignment 2: Miranda Rights
As you learned in your readings, before interrogating a suspect in police custody, the police need to inform the suspect about his or her constitutional rights.
Tasks:
Assume you are a high-ranking official in a law enforcement agency and have ten years of experience in the field. You have been asked to make a presentation to newly sworn police officers about Miranda rights. While the rules for how and when Miranda rights should be given to suspects used to be relatively simple, they have changed dramatically over the past few years.
Utilizing the Argosy University online library, research how Miranda rights and the interpretation of the application of the Fifth and Sixth Amendments to the US Constitution have changed over time.
Prepare a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation regarding these changes and address the following:
Describe the original Miranda case and the statements required for making a valid Miranda warning.
Explain under what circumstances Miranda rights are triggered.
Describe the changes in the Fifth and Sixth Amendments and the custodial protections that are provided under these.
Discuss the past, present, and possible future applications of the following for suspects in police custody:
The right to remain silent
The right to counsel
Submit the details in the Notes section of the presentation.

Assignment 2: Library Research—Training Police Recruits
Chief Draper has noticed that the behavior of many of his officers reflects a lack of understanding of many basic criminal justice concepts. Last week, he received a complaint about a patrol officer with ten years of experience on the force. The complaint alleged that the officer pulled over a car for a traffic violation and allowed the driver to leave with a verbal warning after the driver gave him free football game tickets. Another complaint involved the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) supervisor. In this complaint, it is alleged that the SWAT team broke down the door of a suspected drug dealer only to find that it had the wrong house. The team later found the suspected dealer at another location and arrested and interrogated him before reading the Miranda warnings. These are only a few of the complaints being reviewed, and Chief Draper believes that police recruits need more training on the following topics:
Discretion
Ethics
Probable cause
Plain view doctrine
Arrest
Good faith exception
Miranda
Reasonable suspicion
Use of force
Racial profiling
Tasks:
Prepare a 12- to 14-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation with your recommendations of the important points that should be addressed in the training of police recruits.
Devote at least one slide to each of the ten topics listed.
Use court cases to support your explanations.
Use the Notes section to provide for deeper exploration of each topic.
Include a cover slide and at least one slide at the end of your presentation to reference your sources, formatted in the APA style, that link back to your in-text citations and support your recommendations. See your Argosy Handbook or APA materials to properly cite your text.

Assignment 2 Midweek Production Assignment Annulment ComplaintTh.docxkarenahmanny4c
Assignment 2: Midweek Production Assignment: Annulment Complaint
There are certain, limited reasons why an annulment would be granted instead of a divorce. What is the difference between the two, and why would it matter to Ashley, as it was granted in the case below? In preparing the Complaint, you need to state the reason. Is Dave’s change or acknowledgment of sexual preference enough?
Dave Johnson, 36, and Ashley, 33, married in October 2002. They live in West Virginia in an apartment owned by Dave. They do not have any children. Dave is an investment consultant, and Ashley works as a counselor in a high school. In August 2004, Dave starts his own firm with his friend John. Dave tells Ashley that he needs to spend time away from home during the setting-up phase, as he needs to create business plans and meet prospective clients.
In November 2004, after two years of marriage Dave tells Ashley that he is not in love with her anymore. He has realized that he is a homosexual and in love with his friend, John. Ashley wants the marriage annulled. Prepare a complaint for annulment on behalf of Ashley.
Use the template provided to prepare a complaint for annulment.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Comparative Essay
Due Week 8 and worth 200 points
This “Assignment 2” writing assignment is a comparative essay
focused on topics encountered in our HUM 111 class. The
project will be based on research but will reflect your views and
interpretation of the topic. This project is designed to help you
stretch your mind and your abilities as an organized, innovative,
and critical thinker. If approached properly, it should also be
fun!
Choose one (1) of the topics from the list of topic choices
below. Read the topic carefully. Write a three to four (3-4) page
paper (750-1,000 words) that follows instructions and covers
each part of the topic. (The title page and References list do not
get included in this word count).
Note:
Your instructor may require you to submit your topic choice for
approval before the end of Week 5.
For the topic you choose:
Establish a clear thesis about your topic as part of the
introductory paragraph (often the thesis is the last thing one
determines after doing the basic research and outline; however
it will be placed in the first paragraph of your paper).
This is a comparative essay. Comparison approached properly
will require some critical thinking on your part. Use a point-by-
point approach for the essay. That means, if comparing subject
A with subject B, don't do the first half of the essay on subject
A and then the second half on subject B--that will seem like two
2. (2) separate essays and comparisons will tend to get lost.
Instead, you should be mentioning both subjects in most of your
paragraphs as you compare them throughout the essay.
Comparisons will identify similarities as well as contrasts.
Do not try to do everything on your two (2) subjects. You
should end up narrowing your focus to a few insights and issues
about the subjects being compared. And, from those fairly
specific points of comparison, you will develop a thesis and
glean some lessons.
Follow closely the instructions below for your specific topic.
Include a concluding paragraph at the end. This paragraph will,
in some way, refer back to the thesis established in your first
paragraph, since now you have demonstrated and supported it. It
may be here that you also include your observations relating
your study to the modern workplace or society (see your topic).
Try to finish with flair!
Use at least three (3) good quality academic sources, with one
(1) source being the class text.
Note:
Wikipedia
and other similar Websites do not qualify as academic
resources. You are highly encouraged to use the Resource
Center tab at the top of your Blackboard page.
