ASSIGNMENT: In a two to three page paper give some thought to how you came to believe what you believe politically- freedom right or left, order right or left, or some combination (not everyone is a pure type. Many of us hold views from more than one quadrant). (Note: While some aspects of socialization can touch on personal areas you need not share any more detail than you are comfortable with especially in terms of issues of power/authority within the family, but these themes can still be addressed in terms of general life lessons).Your discussion can address any or all of the following areas. Be sure to include the agents of socialization and how they relate to your life. There Is no one way to write this paper as everyone has had a different life experience. Some agents of socialization may have been more influential in your life than others. SOCIALIZATION: How the culture, values and ways of life (i.e. lenses and frames) common to society are transmitted. CULTURE: Symbols (words, colors, objects, artifacts) Beliefs (shared ideas about what’s true) Values (shared ideas about what’s desirable) Religion, Art Norms, Sanctions (Expectations about behavior, rewards, punishments, what’s normal and what’s not. What’s inside the circle of accepted behavior and what’s outside) Political Order: Institutions, style of governance, civil and political rights. Social Order: Arts, music dance, dress, skirt length, racism, sexism etc. Some U.S. Cultural values Individualism, freedom (Self responsibility, self expression, consumption) Competition (Rational calculation in the quest for wealth “What’s in it for me?”) Technological achievement Fun. Comfort, convenience, pleasure AGENTS OF SOCIALIZATION Family: Parental interest in politics, party i.e., religion, power/authority decision-making models. Primary school: group norms, national slogans, symbols, introduce outside authority Secondary school: Civics, field trips, distinguishes between leaders and institutions. College: Critical thinking, emerging peers. Adulthood: media, religion, community, peers (the greatest impact- people most like you.) .

Review for Midterm, American Culture 1. Individualism and civic or community involvement. What does individualism mean in American culture, how it relates to concepts and values such as freedom, democracy, civic responsibility, community involvement. Be able to discuss how all this is related. Be able to discuss the concept of social capital and its decline. Understand and be able to explain the difference between utilitarian liberalism and moral liberalism. How do Americans connect their own fulfillment to that of other people, despite (or because of) individualism? 2. America as a land apart. This examines how Americans have always thought of America as somehow different, special, set apart from other people, cultures, or countries. It applies to questions like whether America is seen as a haven for the world’s oppressed, as a power in the world, etc. It refers to how many generations of immigrants have seen America and why they came here. It also refers to several opposing or conflicting attitudes and values, such as isolationism (America should not get involved with the rest of the world), nativism (foreign immigrants are the problem), extreme patriotism? What are the positive and negative sides to American exceptionalism? 3. Equality and inequality. This includes the tensions between our cultural ideals and values of equality and the reality of inequality in America—poverty, racism, the heritage of slavery and relations to Native Americans, etc. You should be able to explain how/why social categories such as race, social class, and even gender, as socially constructed, not biological or inherent--how racial and class categories are socially constructed and negotiated and “man-made,” rather than biologically inherent and “God-given.” Basically: our physical and genetic traits are inherent and given, but how we and others choose to perceive, emphasize, or ignore various physical and genetic traits, how we place people into arbitrary categories based on these traits, and how we set one category as “higher” or better than another are all socially constructed and learned. We can look at inequality as giving different groups of people different access to wealth, power, and prestige, and how the same social categories that define our identity (race, ethnicity, gender, etc.) also place us somewhere in a social hierarchy. We can always “negotiate” and try to change this. How can inequality be seen on the level of individuals and images (personal attitudes of prejudice, etc.), institutions discrimination, (policies and practices of institutions that perpetuate racism or inequality), and ideology (systems of attitudes, beliefs, ideas, and symbols that rationalize and support or challenge the “rightness” of a situation of inequality).We can change individuals on the level interpersonal relationships, but if we do not change institutional policies and practices and develop an alternative ideology, we won’t change inequality.

Sociology in a Nutshell: A Brief Introduction to the Discipline of Sociology Alan Barton, Ph.D. As an independent discipline, Sociology dates back to the end of the 19 th century, although Sociology has influences from various other disciplines, including Philosophy, Political Economy and Statistics. The first practitioners of Sociology were in France and Germany, as the effects of the industrial revolution were being felt across Europe, and early sociologists were primarily concerned with understanding the nature of industrial society (Levine, 1995). The first theories that emerged contrasted community structures, common in agrarian societies, with societal structures, common in industrial settings (Tönnies, 1887/2002; Durkheim, 1893/1997; Redfield, 1953). Community systems are rooted in personal emotional attachments, a desire for homogeneity, strict normative (informal) controls, and a rudimentary division of labor (e.g., by gender, within the household), while societal systems are based on professional rational attachments, valuing diversity, legal (formal) controls, and a complex division of labor (e.g., by occupation, at workplaces). As industrialization develops, systems of social organization move from community to society, and states and markets take central roles in the operation of society (Polanyi, 1944). Sociology came to America in the early twentieth century, and was first established at the University of Chicago (Collins, 1994). American sociologists developed a new approach to the study of modern (industrial) society, by appropriating ecological theories from Biology and applying them to urban settings. American sociologists also highlighted interaction as the root of social structures (Mead, 1934; Goffman, 1959; Blumer, 1969). As Sociology spread, other perspectives grew as well, including Functionalist Sociology, which emphasizes social order and the “social glue” that holds society together, and Conflict Sociology, which emphasizes social hierarchies and the differing levels of status accorded to different groups (Collins, 1994). At its core, Sociology is the study of the relationship between individuals and their social contexts. This is sometimes known as the Sociological Perspective (or the Sociological Imagination) , because in order to understand the social causes of human behavior, sociologists typically must adopt a way of thinking that differs from how most people see the world (Mills, 1959). Humans are by nature social beings; we cannot survive unless we interact with other humans. But our interactions are not random, they are shaped by our relationships with others, by our cultural values and beliefs, by the rules of institutions we participate in, and by our experiences in previous interactions, among other influences (Bellah, Madsen, Sullivan, Swidler & Tipton, 1991). Through interaction, we create the terms of these social structures―the r.

Sociology is the study of the relationship between individuals and their social contexts (Mills, 1959). Like other social scientists, sociologists are interested in understanding human behavior, and Sociology is focused on the social causes of human behavior. Humans are by nature social beings; we cannot survive unless we interact with other humans. But our interactions are not random, they are shaped by our social context, which consists of our relationships with others, our cultural values and beliefs, the rules of institutions (e.g., family, religion, government, economy) we participate in, our position in social hierarchies, and our experiences in previous interactions, among other things. All of these exert influence over our decisions and actions, by shaping how we perceive and interpret the actions of others around us. Our relationships, social groups, organizations, social class, institutions, and culture―which taken together form the structure of our society―are created as we interact with others. Our experiences within our social structures always guide us as we interact with others, and by “acting normally” within the parameters of our social context, we reinforce all of the structures that constitute the context. Thus, our interactions are both shaping our social context, and also shaping us at the same time. Our social context and structures influence our own personalities, identities and worldviews. And these guide us in making decisions and in acting. People experience interaction within these social structures over the course of a lifetime, beginning with interaction in the family, then among their neighbors, then with their teachers and classmates at school, perhaps in their church, later in the workplace, and so on. So, most of us do not think of ourselves as constructing the institutions―they are already in place when we are born and we live our lives within their rules. But, in fact, every time we adhere to time-honored means of interaction, we are essentially recreating that rule, and thus recreating the institution. So.

3-4 pages APA STYLE The U.S. has long been seen by many around the world as a bastion of freedom and liberty. But what does this mean? How can individual choice be promoted and protected when members of society have different views of how things should be organized and how their own interests can be preserved? The interests of an individual in his or her own freedom and liberty to act must be balanced against the interests of society as a whole, and sometimes these interests collide. Societies need to have laws to promote order. The larger, more diverse, and more complex a society is, the more regulated that society must be. At the same time, people have differing opinions about what choices should be allowed on many controversial subjects, about what the government itself should be allowed to do, and about whose interests should prevail. Assignment Guidelines Address the following in 3–4 pages: With respect to the making, enforcement, and interpretation of laws, what are the roles of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the U.S. government? Who does what? In other words, are these roles really separate and distinct, or are there ways in which these roles overlap? As society changes, how does this impact the making and interpretation of laws? What are your conclusions about the need to balance individual choice and liberty with the needs of U.S. society as a whole? Incorporate an example of a law or an issue or area of particular interest to you. Ideas could include: civil rights, domestic and/or child abuse, or detention of suspected terrorists. To illustrate your position on these questions, refer to your text, the supplemental course materials, or pertinent outside sources (library, Web, other resources) to support your responses. You may choose a law or policy that you are interested in to illustrate your conclusions. .

A survey of the mechanisms of disease and their expression in major organ systems of the human body. The goal is to use scientific reasoning to make informed decisions about matters related to human biology and health. Topics include infections, cancer, heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, stroke, malnutrition, poisoning by environmental toxins, stress, inflammation, disorders of the immune system, and aging. Emphasis is on analysis of factors that cause disruption of healthy body functions, leading to disease, and on prevention of disease through control of risk factors and early detection. Students may receive credit for only one of the following courses: BIOL 301 or BIOL 398H.  Course Introduction Human Health and Disease is an upper-level science course. You will learn about the human body and its structural components and mechanisms that help the body maintain optimal working order. We will explore the relationship between the body's structure (anatomy) and function (physiology), learning how the body works when it is healthy and what happens when it is affected by a disease. We will learn to distinguish between healthy and diseased function of the various levels of organization in the body starting from the smallest living units?cells?and moving on to tissues, organs, and organ systems. We will discuss how the coordination of metabolic activities at each level benefits the body and explore how all parts of the body work together to maintain a stable internal environment that allows the body to function properly within set limits. We will then discuss general categories of diseases caused by pathogens, genetic defects, and environmental factors, and learn how a single disease agent affects not just one organ, but ultimately causes disruption in the body's homeostasis. We will also explore diagnostic procedures, treatment options, and potential outcomes of various diseases as they pertain to specific organ systems. We will learn to recognize the risk factors leading to diseases and identi.

ASSIGNMENTINFORMATION.PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND ALWAYS CITE. No copying off from the internet. ALWAYS CITE · What constitutes American music? (The first thought that comes to my mind when I ask this question is that if there were a true American music, it would have to be that of the American Indians who were the original inhabitants of this part of the world. This is true but as we all know, the European settlers savagely repressed the Native Americans and so little of their music was absorbed into the Euro/American culture.) It is impossible to answer this question without considering the effect of African traditions on our musical heritage. Consider this quote from the Czech composer Antonin Dvorak, who spent several years in the United States teaching and conducting concerts of his own music: “I am now satisfied that the future music of this country must be founded upon what are called "negro melodies". This must be the real foundation of any serious and original school of composition to be developed in the United States." He was correct of course but I doubt he could ever have imagined the direction and diversity that school of composition would take. The "negro melodies" he was referring to are Negro Spirituals, work songs, field "hollers" and other such styles that developed in the South during the years of slavery. These songs are a blend of European musical traditions and African influences and are unique to the United States. They are rooted in the African American experience of slavery and the continuing struggle for freedom but if you think they are primarily political in that sense or racially exclusive, consider another quote for Dvorak: "In the Negro melodies of America I discover all that is needed for a great and noble school of music. They are pathetic, tender, passionate, melancholy, solemn, religious, bold, merry, gay or what you will. It is music that suits itself to any mood or any purpose. There is nothing in the whole age of composition that cannot be supplied with themes from this source." These "Negro melodies"- Spirituals, work songs, ragtime and the blues- are in fact at the heart of what American music has become. Everything from popular songs to jazz to "rock and roll" owe something to the style and energy of these songs. The goal of this paper is to get an understanding the origins of what has become, with all due respect to native Americans, a truly American music. To do this, I want you to research and write about the following topics: 1. The Negro Spiritual (pp. 44-46 in the text) a. What are they and where did they come from? b. What is their relation to Gospel music? c. Describe the basic musical elements of Spirituals as best you can, using the concepts of melody, rhythm, harmony, timbre, texture and form as discussed in the text. d. What elements of these .

Applied research can differ from traditional research in many ways, including the format of the final document. Unlike a traditional dissertation, applied research studies may take the form of a cost-benefit analysis, policy analysis, needs assessment, employee evaluation model, etc. Search the professional literature for an applied research study that differs in format from a traditional five-chapter dissertation. In addition, the following website might prove helpful in your search: Tasks: Find an applied research study (evaluation research, action research, or intervention research) in your respective discipline, complete an analysis of the study, and answer the following: •What type of applied research study have you selected (e.g., program evaluation or policy analysis)? •How does this study differ in format from a traditional dissertation? Answer with respect to the following: ◦The question/purpose/problem to be solved ◦The context of the study ◦Identification of participants and their role in the applied research study ◦The specific applied research (evaluation, action, intervention) method ◦The specific qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods research techniques used ◦The way data is analyzed ◦Issues or questions that they might have around the findings •Why is this study of particular interest to you? •What does the study contribute to your own research? •What new learnings came from the analysis of the study? Support your rationale and analysis by using at least two resources from professional literature in your response. Professional literature may include the online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (websites ending in .edu or .gov).

I traversed various busy streets and crime-filled regions to get to the school, though I had no idea how cruel and unkind human beings could be. I was still naïve (Jackson, 2008). I would walk to school in the company of my fellow classmates from my neighborhood. Along the way to school, there was a grey colonial household which had a small backyard and it looked like it had been converted into various apartments. I had never noticed how ragged the house was until one day an old lady hailed to us with a surprisingly sweet voice and a deep smile. “Look up at that tree!” she said, “can you see any Cedar Waxwings?” I had no knowledge about Cedar Waxwings till the lady pointed out to me the birds in her backyard.

Assignment: In considering how personality develops, the impact of the child's environment, as well as the child's innate characteristics, must be taken into consideration. Assess the nature versus nurture controversy. Assess your views on how each affects a child's personality and moral development. Provide supporting evidence or reasoning. Which theoretical perspective on personality and moral development most closely represents your view? Short response required for each question, in text APA citations required for each response (no assigned resource provided) Did the response apply the following Socratic Approach, using Steps 1 through 4? Question 1 of 4 Step 1: Identify the elements of the problem, issue, or question. Did the response adequately include this step? Yes or No? If no, what was missing? Question 2 of 4 Step 2: Analyze/ define/ frame the problem, issue, or question. Did the response adequately include this step? Yes or No? If no, what was missing? Question 3 of 4 Step 3: Consider solutions, responses, or answers. Did the response adequately include this step? Yes or No? If no, what was missing? Question 4 of 4 Step 4: Choose a solution, response, or answer. Did the response adequately include this step? Yes or No? If no, what was missing? Sample Response: In the context of the nature versus nurture controversy, nature means one’s genetic inheritance of traits such as intelligence, physical characteristics, and personality tendencies (Vander Zanden, Crandell, & Crandell, 2009). Nurture means the influence of environment, including parenting, schooling, physical environment, culture, and other factors (Vander Zanden et al., 2009). In the past, social scientists and others argued which factor—nature or nurture —was responsible in a given situation, but it is more common today to ask either how much is due to nature versus nurture, or how they interact (Vander Zanden et al., 2009). Vander Zanden et al. (2009) therefore characterize the current nature versus nurture controversy as asking either how or how much, rather than which. While there are many theories that address the nature-nurture controversy, behaviorism most closely represents my view. Most of the behaviors needed to succeed in life are within the capabilities of most people, but some people’s environments make success unlikely for them. If a person is raised in an environment that does not support educational activities, that person is unlikely to become a physicist, even if he or she was born with the intelligence traits of an Einstein. Similarly, those raised in a violent environment are more likely to be violent, such as those who were abused as children may subsequently abuse their own children. Reference: Vander Zanden, J.

Assignment: In Situating Research , the authors talk about ways in which writers analyze, synthesize, and interpret different types of texts. In this short writing assignment, discuss one or two types of non-academic, non-scholarly texts you might examine in your food-topic research. Describe the texts and explain how they will contribute to the research on your topic.

ENTREPRENEURIAL FINANCE: Strategy, Valuation, and Deal Structure EF 2-1 Case Study Amazon.com, Inc. – Early Development and Financing At age 31, Jeffrey Bezos resigned his position as Senior Vice President of D. E. Shaw & Co., a Wall Street investment firm, to found an Internet venture. Bezos, who holds a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Princeton University, had been searching systematically for a way to participate in the growth of retailing on the Internet. After considering a number of alternatives, he settled on the idea of establishing an online bookstore. Overview Amazon.com was founded in Seattle, Washington in July 1994 with an initial investment of $10,000 by Bezos. The entire first year of the venture’s existence was devoted to development of infrastructure: designing the website, establishing relations with distributors, developing software to manage book orders and deliveries, designing a search engine, and developing the software to manage the cash flow of the venture. For the most part, development efforts were performed by Bezos, himself. Amazon.com opened for business on the Internet in July 1995, billing itself as “Earth’s Biggest Bookstore.” The Company offers over 2.5 million titles, including most of the 1.5 million of the English-language titles currently in print. By contrast, even the largest traditional bookstore does not carry more than 175,000 titles in inventory. The Company’s objective is to become “the leading online retailer of information- based products and services, with an initial focus on books.” Amazon expects to compete against traditional bookstores by offering books that are in high demand at discount prices that are difficult for the traditional bookstores to match and by offering convenience and information that cannot be duplicated by traditional bookstores. Amazon’s reliance on the Internet affords it a cost advantage that canno.
