Guidance for Ecosystem Paper
Notes:
The organization and mechanics section of the scoring guide below describe an exemplary paper.
If you cannot point to one location on a map, then your selection is not specific enough. Broad classifications (such as “forest ecosystems,” “aquatic ecosystems,” “marine ecosystems”) are not specific enough and typically earn a failing score.
Remember: The ecosystem must be one that is natural. Manmade lakes and artificial public parks with lawns, playgrounds, and sprinkler systems are not good choices.
Tip: Good descriptions of ecosystems identify plants, animals, and settings; structural and functional dynamics address how they interact with one another.

text (2020).
In this paper, you will explore what a future sustainable world might look like, and in the process of doing so, extend your previous descriptions of selected terms and explain how they may play a role in aiding us in achieving environmental sustainability on a global scale.
The Journey to Sustainability
Imagine a future (probably a long time from now) in which human beings have achieved environmental sustainability on a global scale. That means that we as a species have figured out how to maintain a lifestyle that can go on indefinitely. Humans will exist in harmony with their environment, not needing more resources than can naturally be replenished. What would such a world be like? How might we get there from here?
In this final assignment, you will play the part of science-fiction writer, imagining and describing what a sustainable Earth, inhabited by humans, might look like in the distant future. You will need to provide examples throughout to support your descriptions. You should include all the terms that you have researched during Weeks 1 through 4 of this class, underlining each term as you include it. Be sure to expand on your terms and include other concepts that you learned in the course. Provide as detailed a picture as possible of how that future world might function on a day-to-day basis. In your paper, use grammar and spell-checking programs to insure clarity. Proofread carefully prior to submitting your work. F.

Unit 5: Module 5 - M5 Assignment 1
Assignment 1: Ethnographic Comparison
Anthropologists are interested in framing broad hypotheses about human behavior.
In order to do this, it is imperative to use examples from multiple cultures to ensure
that their conclusions are not grounded in a single case.
In this assignment, you will be taking on the role of an ethnologist, using multiple
ethnographic accounts to study human behavior and culture.
Do the following:
• Identify two to three societies to compare such as African, Indian, Chinese,
Korean, or Native American. Please note that these are suggested societies;
you may choose something not on this list.
• Choose one aspect of human culture discussed in the course:
◦ Domestic life and kinship
◦ Subsistence and economy
◦ Religion
◦ Culture change
Using the module readings, Argosy University online library resources, and the
Internet, write a research paper to include the following:
• Describe the background information of each of the societies you have
chosen. You need not analyze this background information, only provide
details regarding these societies.
• Analyze the aspect of human culture you selected for each of the societies.
• Compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the societies
in relation to the topic you chose—for example, standard of living, education,
or employment opportunities.
• Summarize and address human behavior in relation to your topic and based
on your examples.
◦ Address the realities of life for the cultures you have examined.
◦ Examine some of the social problems and public policy issues that
become apparent.
Your paper should have a title page as well as an introduction section. This
introduction section should include the societies you selected as well as the human
culture aspect you will be discussing and why it is relevant to anthropology. As an
anthropologist, use relevant anthropological terms in your analysis.
Support your statements with examples and scholarly references.
Write a 4–6-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of
sources. Use the following file naming convention:

Week 5 - Final Assignment
The Journey to Sustainability
[WLO: 4] [CLOs: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review chapters 9 and 10 of the Turk and Bensel’s Contemporary Environmental Issues textbook (2014).
During the first four weeks of this course, we explored sustainability issues relating to biodiversity, food production, water resources, and our atmosphere and climate. You researched different terms related to each week’s topic, explaining the term, and offering suggestions for how each of us might contribute to achieving sustainability in relationship to that particular concept, issue, or place.
For this two-part assignment, first you will pool your resources. Polish your written entries, and contribute them according to the instructions below to a single document, a Sustainable Living Guide, that will be emailed to everyone in the class a few days after the course ends. It is hoped that you will be able to make use of the guide and its recommendations for years to come.
In the second part of the journey, you will explore what a future sustainable world might look like, and in the process of doing so, extend your previous descriptions of selected terms and explain how they may play a role in aiding us in achieving environmental sustainability on a global scale.
Part 1: Sustainable Living Guide Contributions
For the first part of your assignment,
Using past feedback from the instructor and your peers, you will revise your work on the four terms you previously selected. Use grammar and spell-checking programs to insure clarity (consider using Ashford University’s Grammarly (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. proofreading tool). Proofread carefully prior to submitting your work.
Transfer your revised four terms to the Sustainable Living Guide.
Access the Sustainable Living Guide. This guide lists all of the terms from all four weeks, in alphabetical order by week.
Locate each of the terms you wrote about, click the "Edit" button so you can copy and paste the text for each term into the guide using the Sustainable Living Guide Contributions Template and into the online Sustainable Living Guide.
Ensure that you have submitted all of your items before clicking the "Save: button on the page to save your work.
Proceed to the Sustainable Living Guide Submission Acknowledgement page to confirm your submission once you have completed all of Part 1.
Part 2: Living in a Sustainable World
Imagine a future in which human beings have achieved environmental sustainability on a global scale. In this second part of your final assignment, you will be describing what a sustainable Earth will look .

Sources & Destinations Essay
This assignment asks you to produce a research-based essay on something you use/consume routinely in
your daily life. This can be a food item, a type of fuel, or something more durable, such as an article of
clothing or an electronic device. The possibilities are limitless. Your job is to account as thoroughly as
possible for this item’s contribution to your overall ecological footprint. To do this, you will need to
research information such as where it comes from, how and by whom it is made, the origins of its raw
material inputs, packaging, and how (and how far) it travels to reach you. You will also want to account
for what happens to this item when you finish with it.
Your essay should relate explicitly to principles and practices of sustainability as explored in this course.
Essays must consider both the item’s physical impact on the earth and the positive and/or negative
impacts the item has on human communities involved in and affected by its production, transport, and/or
disposal. You must choose to emphasize either the physical or the social, rather than both. You are
expected to also convey an awareness of the other’s impacts (i.e., if you focus on the physical, you must
convey an awareness of the social, and vice-versa). All essays should also explore and address more
sustainable alternatives to the item under consideration.
Your audience for this essay is an intelligent general readership. The essay should be between 2000 and
3000 words long (that’s 7 to 10 pages of double-spaced text if you’re using standard one inch margins
and 12 point font). In addition, your essay must include a bibliography (using MLA or APA format) of
all sources cited with information drawn from each of the following source categories (the guidelines
below are a minimum):
• 2 scholarly sources from books and/or peer-reviewed journals
• 3 high quality and reliable websites —Wikipedia will NOT be accepted as a credible source
• 3 other high quality and reliable sources of your choice
Learning Objectives
• To develop research skills within the field of sustainability studies and use these skills to heighten
your awareness of your own ecological footprint.
• To use written communication skills to inform others about ways consumption practices in the
developed world can affect the earth and other humans.
• To think critically about the environmental and social implications of your own and others’ habits.
The Sequence
The structure of the assignment helps to support your development of ideas for this project over the
duration of the course. Here’s the sequence:
Ecological Footprint Reading and Quiz—Discuss in class on 9/26.

About the Topic
Sources Of Genetic Variability
Genetic variations provide the raw material for
evolution
. These variations come from two sources:1.
mutations
that produce different
alleles
, and 2. sexual reproduction, in which alleles from parents segregate and recombine in offspring.
Evolution
Biological evolution involves genetic changes in a group of organisms. These changes occur on two levels:
macroevolution
(the grand scale), and
microevolution
(the small scale). On the "macro" scale of evolution, different species arise, live for a while, and then pass into extinction as new species arise to replace them (over thousands or millions of years). Microevolution involves small-scale changes within a single species. This occurs as populations respond to their own unique circumstances over a period of a few generations. Given enough time, microevolution can lead to macroevolution.
Populations Evolve, Not Individuals
Because an individual's genes are determined at conception, individuals can't evolve. But individuals are part of a
population
that may change over time. Some individuals have
genotypes
that are preferentially suited for survival. These individuals tend to produce more offspring. Thus, a larger proportion of their alleles is passed down to succeeding generations. Over time, the proportion of "good" alleles within the population increases and the "less good" alleles decrease. (
However, note that some traits are neither “good” or “bad”.
Biological Psychology WorksheetAnswer the following questions wi.docx
The document discusses biological psychology and asks 5 questions: 1) The core assumptions are that biology influences behavior. 2) Biological psychology converged from biology, physiology, and psychology. 3) Some early examples included studying brain lesions and the effects on behavior. 4) Modern careers include neuroscience, behavioral genetics, and pharmaceutical development. 5) Biological psychology is generally viewed positively today by other psychologists as a valuable approach.
Biodiversity hotspots are one conservation strategy used to direct f.docx
Biodiversity hotspots are one conservation strategy used to direct funds to areas in the globe that have the highest biodiversity and are most threatened. To qualify as a biodiversity hotspot an area must have more than 1,500 endemic plant species (0.5% of the world's total of 300,000) AND have experienced a 70% loss of habitat.
1) Each person will select a biodiversity hotspot (sign list in class) and use the Conservation Internationl Biodiversity Hotspots website as a key starting resource to find the following information to bring into class to
write on the board and share orally. USE THE WEBSITES POSTED UNDER ASSIGNMENTS/CH 1&2/HOTSPOTS to get started

Bill of RightsWhen the Constitution was completed in the summer of.docx
Bill of Rights
When the Constitution was completed in the summer of 1787, approval by representatives from nine of the thirteen states was needed for it to become the nation’s law. The issue of individual rights was managed—though this, too, created conflict among the Framers—with the addition of the Bill of Rights. Change was written into the supreme law of the land; since then, legal institutionalization of changes has occurred. Since the Constitution’s adoption, change has taken place through the amendment process identified in the Constitution. Change has also occurred under the direction of the branches of government established in the Constitution: the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary.
Research
The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Review the Bill of Rights in your textbook and select one of the first ten amendments to research more thoroughly. Using the Argosy University online library resources, select at least three peer-reviewed articles about the amendment you have selected. Look specifically for articles that focus on current events or controversies related to the amendment and be prepared to summarize the content of each article.
Annotated Bibliography
Prepare an annotated bibliography of your research. Please read

Week 5 - Final Assignment
The Journey to Sustainability
[WLO: 4] [CLOs: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review chapters 9 and 10 of the Turk and Bensel’s Contemporary Environmental Issues textbook (2014).
During the first four weeks of this course, we explored sustainability issues relating to biodiversity, food production, water resources, and our atmosphere and climate. You researched different terms related to each week’s topic, explaining the term, and offering suggestions for how each of us might contribute to achieving sustainability in relationship to that particular concept, issue, or place.
For this two-part assignment, first you will pool your resources. Polish your written entries, and contribute them according to the instructions below to a single document, a Sustainable Living Guide, that will be emailed to everyone in the class a few days after the course ends. It is hoped that you will be able to make use of the guide and its recommendations for years to come.
In the second part of the journey, you will explore what a future sustainable world might look like, and in the process of doing so, extend your previous descriptions of selected terms and explain how they may play a role in aiding us in achieving environmental sustainability on a global scale.
Part 1: Sustainable Living Guide Contributions
For the first part of your assignment,
Using past feedback from the instructor and your peers, you will revise your work on the four terms you previously selected. Use grammar and spell-checking programs to insure clarity (consider using Ashford University’s Grammarly (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. proofreading tool). Proofread carefully prior to submitting your work.
Transfer your revised four terms to the Sustainable Living Guide.
Access the Sustainable Living Guide. This guide lists all of the terms from all four weeks, in alphabetical order by week.
Locate each of the terms you wrote about, click the "Edit" button so you can copy and paste the text for each term into the guide using the Sustainable Living Guide Contributions Template and into the online Sustainable Living Guide.
Ensure that you have submitted all of your items before clicking the "Save: button on the page to save your work.
Proceed to the Sustainable Living Guide Submission Acknowledgement page to confirm your submission once you have completed all of Part 1.
Part 2: Living in a Sustainable World
Imagine a future in which human beings have achieved environmental sustainability on a global scale. In this second part of your final assignment, you will be describing what a sustainable Earth will look .

INTS 210: Sustainable World
Wingfield
Fall, 2016
Sources & Destinations Essay
This assignment asks you to produce a research-based essay on something you use/consume routinely in
your daily life. This can be a food item, a type of fuel, or something more durable, such as an article of
clothing or an electronic device. The possibilities are limitless. Your job is to account as thoroughly as
possible for this item’s contribution to your overall ecological footprint. To do this, you will need to
research information such as where it comes from, how and by whom it is made, the origins of its raw
material inputs, packaging, and how (and how far) it travels to reach you. You will also want to account
for what happens to this item when you finish with it.
Your essay should relate explicitly to principles and practices of sustainability as explored in this course.
Essays must consider both the item’s physical impact on the earth and the positive and/or negative
impacts the item has on human communities involved in and affected by its production, transport, and/or
disposal. You must choose to emphasize either the physical or the social, rather than both. You are
expected to also convey an awareness of the other’s impacts (i.e., if you focus on the physical, you must
convey an awareness of the social, and vice-versa). All essays should also explore and address more
sustainable alternatives to the item under consideration.
Your audience for this essay is an intelligent general readership. The essay should be between 2000 and
3000 words long (that’s 7 to 10 pages of double-spaced text if you’re using standard one inch margins
and 12 point font). In addition, your essay must include a bibliography (using MLA or APA format) of
all sources cited with information drawn from each of the following source categories (the guidelines
below are a minimum):
• 2 scholarly sources from books and/or peer-reviewed journals
• 3 high quality and reliable websites —Wikipedia will NOT be accepted as a credible source
• 3 other high quality and reliable sources of your choice
Learning Objectives
• To develop research skills within the field of sustainability studies and use these skills to heighten
your awareness of your own ecological footprint.
• To use written communication skills to inform others about ways consumption practices in the
developed world can affect the earth and other humans.
• To think critically about the environmental and social implications of your own and others’ habits.
The Sequence
The structure of the assignment helps to support your development of ideas for this project over the
duration of the course. Here’s the sequence:
Ecological Footprint Reading and Quiz—Discuss in class on 9/26.
Topic Exploration (posted to Blackboard by 11:59 on 9/30)—Preliminary list of sources (at least six
per topic) and reflection on two possible topics. Two double-spaced pages, 20 points poss.

About the Topic
Sources Of Genetic Variability
Genetic variations provide the raw material for
evolution
. These variations come from two sources:1.
mutations
that produce different
alleles
, and 2. sexual reproduction, in which alleles from parents segregate and recombine in offspring.
Evolution
Biological evolution involves genetic changes in a group of organisms. These changes occur on two levels:
macroevolution
(the grand scale), and
microevolution
(the small scale). On the "macro" scale of evolution, different species arise, live for a while, and then pass into extinction as new species arise to replace them (over thousands or millions of years). Microevolution involves small-scale changes within a single species. This occurs as populations respond to their own unique circumstances over a period of a few generations. Given enough time, microevolution can lead to macroevolution.
Populations Evolve, Not Individuals
Because an individual's genes are determined at conception, individuals can't evolve. But individuals are part of a
population
that may change over time. Some individuals have
genotypes
that are preferentially suited for survival. These individuals tend to produce more offspring. Thus, a larger proportion of their alleles is passed down to succeeding generations. Over time, the proportion of "good" alleles within the population increases and the "less good" alleles decrease. (
However, note that some traits are neither “good” or “bad”.
Biological Psychology WorksheetAnswer the following questions wi.docx
The document discusses biological psychology and asks 5 questions: 1) The core assumptions are that biology influences behavior. 2) Biological psychology converged from biology, physiology, and psychology. 3) Some early examples included studying brain lesions and the effects on behavior. 4) Modern careers include neuroscience, behavioral genetics, and pharmaceutical development. 5) Biological psychology is generally viewed positively today by other psychologists as a valuable approach.
Biodiversity hotspots are one conservation strategy used to direct f.docx
Biodiversity hotspots are one conservation strategy used to direct funds to areas in the globe that have the highest biodiversity and are most threatened. To qualify as a biodiversity hotspot an area must have more than 1,500 endemic plant species (0.5% of the world's total of 300,000) AND have experienced a 70% loss of habitat.
1) Each person will select a biodiversity hotspot (sign list in class) and use the Conservation Internationl Biodiversity Hotspots website as a key starting resource to find the following information to bring into class to

Bill of RightsWhen the Constitution was completed in the summer of.docx
Bill of Rights
When the Constitution was completed in the summer of 1787, approval by representatives from nine of the thirteen states was needed for it to become the nation’s law. The issue of individual rights was managed—though this, too, created conflict among the Framers—with the addition of the Bill of Rights. Change was written into the supreme law of the land; since then, legal institutionalization of changes has occurred. Since the Constitution’s adoption, change has taken place through the amendment process identified in the Constitution. Change has also occurred under the direction of the branches of government established in the Constitution: the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary.
Research
The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Review the Bill of Rights in your textbook and select one of the first ten amendments to research more thoroughly. Using the Argosy University online library resources, select at least three peer-reviewed articles about the amendment you have selected. Look specifically for articles that focus on current events or controversies related to the amendment and be prepared to summarize the content of each article.
Annotated Bibliography
Prepare an annotated bibliography of your research. Please read
Annotated Bibliography.pdf
for an overview on annotated bibiographies. Click
here
for an example of what an annotated bibliography looks like. Include the following:
For each article, write details such as the article title, author name, journal title, and publication date.
Write a summary of each article in 200–250 words.
Write the conclusions you have drawn from research and your opinion in 1–2 paragraphs.
Write a reference list of the selected articles in APA style.
Write a 2–3-page annotated bibliography in Word format. Apply APA standards for writing style to your work.

About the Topic
Sources Of Genetic Variability
Genetic variations provide the raw material for
evolution
. These variations come from two sources:1.
mutations
that produce different
alleles
, and 2. sexual reproduction, in which alleles from parents segregate and recombine in offspring.
Evolution
Biological evolution involves genetic changes in a group of organisms. These changes occur on two levels:
macroevolution
(the grand scale), and
microevolution
(the small scale). On the "macro" scale of evolution, different species arise, live for a while, and then pass into extinction as new species arise to replace them (over thousands or millions of years). Microevolution involves small-scale changes within a single species. This occurs as populations respond to their own unique circumstances over a period of a few generations. Given enough time, microevolution can lead to macroevolution.
Populations Evolve, Not Individuals
Because an individual's genes are determined at conception, individuals can't evolve. But individuals are part of a
population
that may change over time. Some individuals have
genotypes
that are preferentially suited for survival. These individuals tend to produce more offspring. Thus, a larger proportion of their alleles is passed down to succeeding generations. Over time, the pr.

Biblical Worldview Essay Instructions
Rationale for the Biblical Worldview Essay
Every person has a worldview whether he realizes it or not. What is a worldview? James W. Sire defines a worldview as:
[A] commitment, a fundamental orientation of the heart, that can be expressed as a story or in a set of presuppositions (assumptions which may be true, partially true or entirely false) that we hold (consciously or subconsciously, consistently or inconsistently) about the basic constitution of reality, and that provides the foundation on which we live and move and have our being.
[1]
Stated more succinctly, "…[A] worldview is simply the total set of beliefs that a person has about the biggest questions in life." F. Leroy Forlines describes such questions as the "inescapable questions of life." Life's inescapable questions include the following: "Is there a God? If so, what is He like? How can I know Him? Who am I? Where am I? How can I tell right from wrong? Is there life after death? What should I and what can I do about guilt? How can I deal with my inner pain?" Life's biggest, inescapable questions relate to whether there is a God, human origins, identity, purpose, and the hereafter, just to mention a few.
Satisfying answers to the "inescapable questions of life" are provided by the Holy Scriptures. The Holy Scriptures, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, form the starting point and foundation for the biblical worldview. More specifically related to our purposes, the apostle Paul reflects several components of the biblical worldview in his letter to the Romans.
The apostle Paul authored Romans toward the end of his third missionary journey, about 57 A.D. He addressed this letter specifically to the Christians in Rome. At the time the church in Rome consisted of Jewish and Gentile believers, with Gentile Christians in the majority. Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome in order to address specific concerns and challenges they were facing. While Romans was an occasional letter (not a systematic theology), Paul presents the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a very systematic fashion. The Gospel is actually the overarching theme of Romans as Paul spells this out in his programmatic statement in 1:16–17. As the systematic presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Romans is foundational to the biblical/Christian worldview.
Recognizing that Romans is not a systematic theology and does not contain all the essential truths that are relevant to a worldview per se, the apostle Paul articulates truths that are foundational to the biblical worldview. In Romans 1–8, Paul addresses certain components of a worldview that relate to the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture.
In a 750–1000-word essay, describe what Romans 1–8 teaches regarding (1)the natural world, (2)human identity,(3) human relationships, and (4) culture. Furthermore, (5)explain how this teaching of these topics affects your worldview. Make sure that you addr.

APA Format 1-3 pages Friday by 10pm New York Time 2-3 References
Even when volunteers come to an organization with a name that is recognized, community connections, and years of professional expertise and experience, they still require an understanding of the background, purpose, and procedures of the specific organization to which they plan to dedicate their time. Volunteer orientation serves this purpose. Volunteer training goes further. Training introduces and teaches the specific skills and expertise needed to carry out the volunteers’ roles.

Benefits of a Diverse Workforce
Communication is of utmost importance in diverse teams. How a manager approaches a situation can determine the future direction of teamwork and ultimately the level of success achieved. When communicating with diverse teams, whether verbally, via e-mail, or in writing, managers need to consider the potential reactions as well as the intention of the message.
and the discussion of possible HR actions. Based on the review, develop a FEW page memo to the project teams addressing the following:
Remind both managers and employees of the benefits of a culturally diverse workgroup.
Make recommendations on how to avoid scheduling issues due to the religious observance.
Explain how you arrived at your decision using relevant academic references.
Justify your suggestions by using empirical evidence and reference to any applicable laws.

*Explain what motivation is and why managers need to be concerned about it.
*Explain what leadership is, when leaders are effective and ineffective, and the sources of power that enable managers to be effective leaders.
*Explain how different elements of group dynamics influence the functioning and effectiveness of groups and teams.
*Explain why strategic human resource management can help an organization gain a competitive advantage.
Below is all of these questions answered by different classmates in my class. Please use their answers as a base to formulate your own...
Motivation is the psychological forces that determine the direction of a person’s behavior in an organization, a person level of effort and a person level of persistence in the face of obstacles. Managers should be concerned with motivation because it explains why people behave the way they do. It can explain why a waiter is mean or nice, or why the customer service representative you are dealing with is helpful and understanding or rude and unhelpful.
Leadership is the process by which a person exerts influence over other people and inspires, motivates, and directs their activities, to help achieve group or organizational goal. Leaders are affective when they can unite a group to achieve a common goal. There are five types of power that a leader must balance. Legitimate power: the authority that a manager has by virtue of their position in an organizations hierarch. Reward power: the ability of a manager to give or withhold tangible and intangible rewards. Coercive power: the ability of a manager to punish others. Expert power: power that is based on the special knowledge, skills, and expertise that a leader possesses. Referent power: power that comes from subordinates’ and coworkers’ respect, admiration, and loyalty.
There are five key elements of group dynamics. Group size: the number of members in a group can be an important determinant of members’ motivation, commitment and group performance. Group roles: a set of behaviors and task that a member of a group is expected to perform because of his or her position in the group. Group leadership: leadership is a key ingredient for high- performing groups, teams, and organizations. Group development over time: it sometimes takes a self-managed team two or three years to perform up to it true capabilities. Group norms: shared guidelines or rules for behavior that most group member follow. Group cohesivenes.
