We talked about common sense and the need for sociological research in, but I want us to discuss it a little further. Quite often we have heard or have said, ?Why, that?s just common sense.? Common sense has helped a lot of us through various situations in our lives, but it really can?t be relied on as a source of knowledge because it?s quite limited (How much common sense does one have?) and what we feel is ?correct? often is not. What may seem ?right? for you or is considered as common sense to you may not be for me.

## Send to the Discussion Forum five things you think are common sense concepts, e.g., common sense tells us it?s foolish to cross the street when the light is green. ##

When sociologists do research, they work from a model which has eight Basic Steps.
First
they choose a topic that generally will have the following criteria for doing the study.
Curiosity
: Why do certain behaviors lead to certain outcomes? Why is it that two children raised by the same methods (it doesn?t matter if they are from upper or lower income families) turn out differently? One reaches their potential, the other doesn?t.
Interest
: A particularly interesting topic surfaces and sparks interest in the researcher.
Funding
: Often, grants from Federal, state, and local governments become available to study certain topics, e.g., what has made society so conducive to the formation of gangs?
Social Issues
: Social issues of global to local significance attract sociologists? attention. Things like drug cultures, unemployment, gangs, urban blight, etc.
Second,
once the problem is identified, it must be defined. Then they will ask, ?What do we want to learn and why??
Third,
they will take a look at any existing data or literature that is
available. What have previous studies (if any) shown? What methods of study were used? When and where was the data collected? (Time, year, etc.)
Fourth,
they will develop a hypothesis. What are the expected relationships between all of the variables according to what our theory predicts? Are they congruent or are there differences. If so why? (The hypothesis needs
to have operational definitives, i.e. If this happens, a particular event, emotion, etc. then we can expect this result by this time.) It is very important that precise ways are used in measuring hypotheses.
Fifth,
the choice of a research method is critical. Some methods will not work as well or at all when you are collecting data. Surveys, questionnaires, etc., all have to be specifically written and administered to obtain ?scientific? results. The way .

Here is a way to streamline presentations you make so that you do not have to take your laptop, or FlashDrive with you to interviews.
The nice part is you can insert videos at any point in the slide show. It also enables you to leave your slideshow as accessible to anyone on the committee to review your ideas, your work, and video of you teaching
Anthropology 2 Spring 2020 MW 7-825 a.m. (Revised Online) .docxYASHU40
Anthropology 2 Spring 2020: M/W: 7-8:25 a.m. (Revised Online) Mr. Coltman
Course Syllabus: Cultural Anthropology
Course Description:
Through the comparative study of different cultures, anthropology explores fundamental questions
about what it means to be human. It seeks to understand how culture shapes societies and
individuals, from the smallest island in the South Pacific to the largest global metropolis, and affects
the way institutions work, from scientific laboratories to Christian mega-churches. This course will
provide a framework for analyzing diverse facets of human experience such as gender, ethnicity,
language, politics, economics, and art.
Course Requirements (Revised for Online):
Lecture: You are encouraged to attend and participate in online classroom sessions, as this is a lecture and discussion
course. This means that you should do the reading in advance and be prepared to be engaged in the course, even
though we are now online. If you are unable to attend the online lecture it will be recorded and will be available at your
convenience. You will be sent a link to the recorded lecture through Canvas Announcements.
Exams: There will be two exams, including the final, each worth 1/3 of your grade. Exam 1 and the Final will consist of
50 multiple-choice questions (25 from lecture and 25 from the text) and will be taken on Canvas. The final will be
cumulative in course materials, concepts, theorists, and theories.
The textbook and lectures: You are expected to read the textbook, which covers material related to the lecture. The
exams will require information that you will find in both the text and lecture, so you will also have to take careful notes.
The Essay: 1/3 of your grade will be earned from a critical-thinking essay. The requirements for the essay will be provided
to you. This paper will approximately 3-5 pages in length. The paper is due (approximately!) Wednesday, May 6th.
Attendance: If you stop attending a class, it is your responsibility to officially drop the class and you must do so prior to
deadlines that can be found online. If you fail to drop the course through the proper channels you will end up with an “F”
in the course.
How it all turns into an “A” or what you will:
Course totals: Multiple choices exams will be curved and assigned a letter grade. The term paper will receive a letter
grade. No grades will be dropped but I will do my best to overlook total disaster, as long as your other grades argue on
your behalf and as long as you do the extra credit assignment.
Extra Credit: There will be one extra credit opportunity, similar in topic and scope to the term paper. You will be given a
handout on this opportunity after the midterm. It will require that you pick some aspect of cultural belief or behavior that
interests you, research it, analyze it, and produce a critical analysis for my review. A hard copy will be due the day of the
final exam. There will be no exc.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
