Social MovementThe two social movements that I will address in t.docx
Social Movement
The two social movements that I will address in the final project are the Abolition movement and the Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) social movement. These two social movements happened during different eras but both work towards a common goal, which is ensuring that a marginalized group in the society has equal rights. In my research, I will address the historical background of each social movement and the ideologies that jumpstarted each movement. I will go further to analyze the leadership structure of each movement and the challenges that they face or faced. Most importantly, the research will examine the success and failures and the impact of each of the campaign.
My initial findings have established the sources of each of these social movements and the major success that they have each managed to achieve. The Abolition movement was jumpstarted with the effort of ending slavery in America. The basis of this movement was that all men were created equal and hence, the effort to emancipate slaves (Martos, Wilson & Meyer, (2017). This movement began in the 1830s and ended around 1870 (Martos, Wilson & Meyer, (2017). This movement was an essential step in ensuring that African Americans were free to form slavery and played a crucial role in ending racial segregation and discrimination.
On the other hand, the Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) social movement was initiated with the interest of providing the LGBT with same movements as heterosexual individuals in the society (Lysack, 2012). This movement was started to end homophobic, transphobic and biphobic attitudes that prevented individual in this category to live comfortably in the society (Lysack, 2012). Notable successes of this movement are that it has managed to achieve legality of gay marriages (Lysack, 2012). Regardless, this movement continues to have challenges, especially on the international front, where certain cultures fail to recognize these laws. Each of these social movements has had an essential role in addressing human rights violations which is an aspect I would explore more in the final research process.

Five people are gathered outside city hall after a city council meeting. Each had attended the meeting to demand that the city address therapidly multiplying feral cat population. Each was involved in helping reduce the feral cat population on their own, spending their own timeand money to trap and spay/neuter cats. Noting the dangers faced by the cats and the smell and noise of the growing feral cat population,these five residents came to the meeting to press the city council to adopt what is known as a TNR program (trap-neuter-return). Acoordinated, citywide program could reduce the population and would get cats fixed and adopted.
Despite the impassioned pleas of the five concerned residents, the council members did not promise to address the feral cat problem. The fiveare agitated as they talk about the council’s disinterested response to their requests. One suggests that they join together to form a neworganization, “Friends of Cats,” to raise awareness and push the city council to act. They exchange numbers and promises to find each otheron Facebook before heading home.
Two days later, the fledging social movement has a Facebook page with over 100 followers. Soon after, membership grows from the originalfive to fifteen individuals. Meeting at a local coffee shop to plan their next steps, they decide to make informational flyers to distribute aroundtown and start a petition demanding the city council adopt their proposed policies.
The next time the city council meets, Friends of Cats has thirty-five people in attendance, all with signs demanding the council take action.They present a petition with 1,500 signatures of local residents and introduce experts on TNR policy from the Animal Protection League tospeak to the council. At that meeting, the council agrees to form a committee with Friends of Cats members on animal control. A few monthslater, it drafts and passes a TNR policy for the city.

The Evolution of Social Behavior and Opportunities That Arise
Social evolution in human society offers a unique premise to study and determine the effects and outcomes of social changes to organizations, societies, individuals, and businesses. This is because as long as man exists, social changes will always form a part of life, and since these changes take place within society, their effects reverberate through all society. Triggers of social change include current technology, environment, economy, and demographic features, and understanding these trigger points in history, can point out major social evolutions (Rousseau, 2006). Nonetheless, a major outcome of social change is the resultant gap in society marked by new needs and wants, non existent before the social change, and the subsequent opportunities for entrepreneurs.

Racial inequality and race have been important elements in the creation of the American nation.

With the nation being built on inequality, oppression, slavery and denial of fundamental freedoms it is easy to see a problem in race.

Introduction
The study of social movement reflects the social issues in different periods have faced. This work will focus on the Abolition Movement and the Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) social movements. Social movements are a result of general public consensus towards dealing with major social issues in the community.
I will discuss the historical background and ideals that supported the development of the Abolition Movement and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Social Movement. This is intended to show the correlation between their emergence and the key social issues that the community faced.
The Abolition movement
The Abolition movement was jumpstarted with the effort of ending slavery in America. It held that all people are created equal, and hence the practice of slavery was unacceptable. This movement existed in the 19th century when many people started publicly displaying dissatisfaction for the slavery practices in the country. It placed more pressure on the authorities to outlaw slavery (Martos, Wilson & Meyer, 2017). It would allow for increased debate about segregation and discrimination.
Slaved men and women worked on large agricultural farms as maids. Their life was brutal; they were subject to severe punishments and strict racial rules and policies. With time they opposed slavery through daily acts like antislavery movements. The basis of this movement was that all men were created equal and hence, the effort to emancipate slaves (Martos, Wilson & Meyer, (2017).
Abolitionists managed to integrate religion and moral movement, that focused on the acceptance that everyone was equal before the eyes of their creator and later on became political. Antislavery societies were formed by various churches to create awareness of evil effects of slavery (Lysack, 2012). American Colonization Society (founded 1817) was first movement to abolishing slavery but was greatly opposed since it was seen as unfair to send Black Americans from their motherland to Africa.
The American Antislavery Society was founded in 1833 by prominent leaders, such as William Lloyd Garrison David Walker and Frederick Douglass (Black Abolitionist) strongly opposed slavery in their publications (Pepin-Neff & Wynter, 2019). These publications disputed against slavery as anti-social and immoral and repeatedly used illustrations of African -American literatures and other accomplishments to outline that the Africans and their offspring had ability to learn like Americans, if granted freedom.
The abolition movement was politicized. The Native American Party opposed slavery as well immigrants. Thus, other parties like Free Soil and Whigs did so. They merge together in 1856 leading to election of Abraham Lincoln as president in United States (Lysack, 2012).
The abolitionists continued to pressurize the administration of Lincoln to terminate slavery. It to ...

1) For W.E.B. Du Bois (“Conservation of Races”) and Vincent Harding (“The
Vocation of the Black Scholar”) what is the role of intellectual work in the pursuit of
freedom? How do their positions compare? In what ways does Cedric Robinson’s
(Black Movements in America excerpt) understanding of “two alternative political
cultures” align with Du Bois’s and Harding’s perspective? How might we use this
work to frame issues that continue to persist?
2) Which of the five methods for approaching Black intellectual genealogy outlined by
Carr, singularly, or in combination with others, provides the most salient means for
studying the Black Power Movement? How would you use these same methods to
categorize the work of Peniel Joseph (Waiting ‘til the Midnight Hour) and Joshua
Bloom and Waldo Martin (Black Against Empire)? Why?
3) In what ways did Black Power exist as a concept or orientation before June 1966?
How does Peniel Joseph develop this history? Who are the key actors and
organizations involved in these movements in the 1950s and early 1960s? How does
this Black Power “pre-history” contribute to our understanding of what occurred
after June 1966?
4) What were the principal motivations around the conception of organizations like the
Group on Advanced Leadership and the Freedom Now Party? Who were the key
figures involved and what did they contribute? How did they energize political
movements in northern and urban settings? What was the relationship of the
organizing efforts like the Grassroots Leadership Conference to the Southern
freedom struggle? Why did prominent figures in the North develop critiques of the
Southern freedom struggle?
5) What was the context surrounding the June 1966 call for “Black Power”? How did
the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee engage other civil rights
organizations during this particular moment? What were the implications for the
evolution of Black Power and/or Black nationalist consciousness in the years to
come? How did figures like Stokely Carmichael conceptualize and justify the need or
desire for Black Power?
6) How did the Black Power movement approach the question of internationalism or
transnationalism? In what ways did the concept extend beyond the borders of the
United States? How did the Cold War influence these developments? How did the
Pan-Africanist movement connect to the Black Power movement? What were the
critical developments that extended these convergences of struggle into the early
1970s?

Case study history
Racial inequality and race have been important elements in the creation of the American nation. This is because the nation was built on the premise of political and religious freedom, as well as economic liberty. With the nation being built on inequality, oppression, slavery and denial of fundamental freedoms it is easy to see a problem in race. Today, minorities in the United States lag in virtually all areas of social lif ...

Introduction
The study of social movement reflects the social issues in different periods have faced. This work will focus on the Abolition Movement and the Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) social movements. Social movements are a result of general public consensus towards dealing with major social issues in the community.
I will discuss the historical background and ideals that supported the development of the Abolition Movement and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Social Movement. This is intended to show the correlation between their emergence and the key social issues that the community faced.
The Abolition movement
The Abolition movement was jumpstarted with the effort of ending slavery in America. It held that all people are created equal, and hence the practice of slavery was unacceptable. This movement existed in the 19th century when many people started publicly displaying dissatisfaction for the slavery practices in the country. It placed more pressure on the authorities to outlaw slavery (Martos, Wilson & Meyer, 2017). It would allow for increased debate about segregation and discrimination.
Slaved men and women worked on large agricultural farms as maids. Their life was brutal; they were subject to severe punishments and strict racial rules and policies. With time they opposed slavery through daily acts like antislavery movements. The basis of this movement was that all men were created equal and hence, the effort to emancipate slaves (Martos, Wilson & Meyer, (2017).
Abolitionists managed to integrate religion and moral movement, that focused on the acceptance that everyone was equal before the eyes of their creator and later on became political. Antislavery societies were formed by various churches to create awareness of evil effects of slavery (Lysack, 2012). American Colonization Society (founded 1817) was first movement to abolishing slavery but was greatly opposed since it was seen as unfair to send Black Americans from their motherland to Africa.
The American Antislavery Society was founded in 1833 by prominent leaders, such as William Lloyd Garrison David Walker and Frederick Douglass (Black Abolitionist) strongly opposed slavery in their publications (Pepin-Neff & Wynter, 2019). These publications disputed against slavery as anti-social and immoral and repeatedly used illustrations of African -American literatures and other accomplishments to outline that the Africans and their offspring had ability to learn like Americans, if granted freedom.
The abolition movement was politicized. The Native American Party opposed slavery as well immigrants. Thus, other parties like Free Soil and Whigs did so. They merge together in 1856 leading to election of Abraham Lincoln as president in United States (Lysack, 2012).
The abolitionists continued to pressurize the administration of Lincoln to terminate slavery. It to ...

1) For W.E.B. Du Bois (“Conservation of Races”) and Vincent Harding (“The
Vocation of the Black Scholar”) what is the role of intellectual work in the pursuit of
freedom? How do their positions compare? In what ways does Cedric Robinson’s
(Black Movements in America excerpt) understanding of “two alternative political
cultures” align with Du Bois’s and Harding’s perspective? How might we use this
work to frame issues that continue to persist?
2) Which of the five methods for approaching Black intellectual genealogy outlined by
Carr, singularly, or in combination with others, provides the most salient means for
studying the Black Power Movement? How would you use these same methods to
categorize the work of Peniel Joseph (Waiting ‘til the Midnight Hour) and Joshua
Bloom and Waldo Martin (Black Against Empire)? Why?
3) In what ways did Black Power exist as a concept or orientation before June 1966?
How does Peniel Joseph develop this history? Who are the key actors and
organizations involved in these movements in the 1950s and early 1960s? How does
this Black Power “pre-history” contribute to our understanding of what occurred
after June 1966?
4) What were the principal motivations around the conception of organizations like the
Group on Advanced Leadership and the Freedom Now Party? Who were the key
figures involved and what did they contribute? How did they energize political
movements in northern and urban settings? What was the relationship of the
organizing efforts like the Grassroots Leadership Conference to the Southern
freedom struggle? Why did prominent figures in the North develop critiques of the
Southern freedom struggle?
5) What was the context surrounding the June 1966 call for “Black Power”? How did
the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee engage other civil rights
organizations during this particular moment? What were the implications for the
evolution of Black Power and/or Black nationalist consciousness in the years to
come? How did figures like Stokely Carmichael conceptualize and justify the need or
desire for Black Power?
6) How did the Black Power movement approach the question of internationalism or
transnationalism? In what ways did the concept extend beyond the borders of the
United States? How did the Cold War influence these developments? How did the
Pan-Africanist movement connect to the Black Power movement? What were the
critical developments that extended these convergences of struggle into the early
1970s?

Final Paper To complete this assignment, read through the scenario.docx
Final Paper
To complete this assignment, read through the scenario below and address the specific questions and issues indicated. Review the "Introduction to the Miller Family" document for specific information on each member of the family.
Grandmother Ella has been dealing with cancer for years now and has tried alternative remedies and juicing. She went into remission for some time, but now the cancer has returned and she is in the hospital. Her husband, of American Indian descent, has his ideas about what needs to be done as Ella comes to the end of her life. Ella has her preferences, though she is now so weak that she has given up in many ways. The family members are each experiencing their own fears and are grieving as they face the loss that will occur as Ella’s life comes to a close. Ella prefers to die at home and has felt stressed by the discord and discomfort of family members since being hospitalized.
You are the social worker for this case. You meet this family in the hospital setting as they are considering whether the patient will remain there for her final days or whether hospice and palliative care will be provided for her in her home.
For this assignment, you will:
Synthesize the current research that is relevant to this scenario.
Discuss the cultural or traditional issues that could arise at this time. Consider how the integration of alternative and complementary medicine and beliefs, mainstream medical practices, and cultural/traditional rituals and practices might create issues and what they might include.
Describe how the family might react to the following possible scenarios:
Ella wishes to stick with alternative and complementary practices.
Ella is coerced into following mainstream medical advice.
Ella’s husband insists that, as father and husband, his family traditions should be adhered to.
Examine the biological basis for care and describe how the choices for care might affect the other family members with respect to their individual problems, if at all.
Son Sam, the alcoholic
Daughter Lila, with diabetes
Grandson Josh, starting to have drug problems
Granddaughter Lucy, bipolar with more entrenched drug problems
Daughter-in-law, Sarah’s stress related to her family’s medical issues (nephew with leukemia, brother with HIV, and her father’s perspective that they are all “crazy!”)
Discuss the micro, mezzo, and macro influences affecting both the patient and the diverse family members in this scenario as impacted by Ella’s medical condition and prognosis.
What are the pertinent and likely family (micro) conflicts and differences, and concerns that could be encountered?
How is the neighborhood and extended family (mezzo) reacting to the situation?
If she returns home, what considerations need to be taken into account as part of her discharge plan? Using your local area, research and present the needed or preferred community resources (macro) that would be available to them. Critique the ability of these communi.
Final Argument Paper The Case of the West Memphis ThreeIn 1994,.docx
Final Argument Paper: The Case of the West Memphis Three
In 1994, three teenage males were convicted for the crimes of murder in West Memphis, Arkansas. Jessie MisKelley Jr, Damien Echols, and Jason Baldwin were tried and convicted for the murder of three 8 year-old boys: Steven Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers. Jessie and Jason received life sentences while Damien, the suspected ring-leader, was sentenced to death.
In August of 2011, all three men made an Alford Plea and were released from jail as time served. An Alford plea is better known as the “I’m guilty but I didn’t do it” defense.
Under the Alford plea, the defendant admits that sufficient evidence exists with which the prosecution could likely convince a judge or jury to find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. However, the defendant(s) cannot be charged with these crimes again (Double Jeopardy Law). All three are currently free men and trying to integrate back into society.
In 2013, we are still in search of answers as to what happened to the three 8 year-old boys and who is responsible for their death. Under the Alford plea, Damien, Jason, and Jessie are considered guilty of these crimes. Under our laws, they are considered ex-cons. The state of Arkansas has declared the murders of the three boys a cold case despite questions that have been raised regarding the possible involvement of two of the stepfathers, John Mark Byers and Terry Hobbs.
There are many speculations as to what might have happened if the three men would have chosen to wait for a re-trial.
For this paper, present an argument as to what you believe would have been the outcome of such a case. Would the three been found guilty or not guilty?
Additionally, this argument will be focused on a specific element of the case.
You may choose one of the following: police error/law enforcement mistakes (including false confession), Satanic Panic, or Media Involvement in case.
Whichever element you choose to write about will be the sole argument for the paper.
After reviewing all of the court testimonies, documents, evidence, and extra accounts that the real jury did not have access to, you will make a decision and support it with evidence as to the guilt or wrongful conviction of these three young men.
There are a lot of evidence, statements, etc to dig through for this case. However, as a jury member it is imperative that you look at all that is available to you in order to make a sound judgment. The job of a jury member is to: sort through conflicting claims; weigh all evidence as objectively as possible, without personal biases; and uncover the assumptions behind the messages you are hearing.
For the introduction section to your paper (1.5-2 pgs), give an overview of the crimes and how/why these three young men were arrested and charged. Also indicate to your reader what sentences these men received as well as information pertaining to their Alford Plea. You will then foll.

Jimmy is the CEO of News Corp. His son, Johnny, runs Television Inc. One day Jimmy suggests that Johnny sell Television Inc. to News Corp. Jimmy and Johnny work together to radically inflate the value of Television Inc.

The board of directors diligently examines the transaction, but due to clever forgeries, the board does not discover the radical inflation of the corporation.

FederalismThe system of federalism was instituted with the writing.docx
Federalism
The system of federalism was instituted with the writing and authorization of the Constitution in 1787. In dividing power between states and the national government, federalism has undergone challenges to the placement of power. Should power reside primarily in national or in state government? The Civil War was the most dramatic challenge to the placement of power. Southern states argued, under the leadership of John C. Calhoun, that states’ power superseded national power, while northern states, under the leadership of President Abraham Lincoln, stressed the need for union under the leadership and direction of the national government.
In the more than two hundred years since the Constitution’s adoption, there have been many changes to the meaning of federalism, with power shifting between state and national governments. In the twentieth century, the shifts of power became largely associated with the national government’s ability to provide increased funding sources. With more funding available, the national government has expanded its impact on all areas of state governments. This increased power has had many advocates and many detractors, each with strong justifications.
Research federalism using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Write a paper on federalism. Structure your paper as follows:
Define federalism.
Explain three advantages of federalism.
Explain three disadvantages of federalism.
Identify and describe at least two ways in which American federalism has changed since the ratification of the Constitution.
Discuss one advantage or disadvantage of federalism most relevant to you.
Describe the relationship between contemporary politics and trends in the size and power of the federal government.

Fanciful, Inc. is a case study which allows you to incorporate n.docx
Fanciful, Inc.
is a case study which allows you to incorporate numerous financial and managerial accounting concepts into a single business setting. You will take the position of the company controller who will prepare the budget for the year ended December 31, 2013, using the actual data from 2008 through 2012, and information given to you by various departments. You will prepare a report for the president of the company, describing the strengths and weakness of the corporation, as well as provide suggestions for the future. In short, you will be responsible for the planning and control procedures for the company from an accounting standpoint.
In order to focus on important accounting concepts, certain simplifications are necessary to make this case manageable. The student should keep the following simplifications in mind while working on this case:
·
Work in process inventories will be ignored.
·
Financial and IRS tax will be the same.
·
Some projections for 2013 will be given.
·
Standards used for the 2013 budget will be the reasonably obtainable standards.
·
No hourly worker will work overtime.
·
All price changes will occur on January 1st and will remain in effect for the entire year.
·
The actual 2012 information is available while preparing the 2013 budget.
·
All debt transactions will occur either on January 1st or December 31st.
·
There are no bad debts.
The student should also keep in mind that the budgeting process is not an exact science; therefore, approximate figures provide adequate information for the decision maker. Figures should be rounded to the whole dollar throughout the budgeting process and the control applications. Since it is not possible to have a partial machine or person, certain figures will always have to be rounded up.
GENERAL COMPANY INFORMATION
Fanciful, Inc.
is a paint manufacturing company that produces two qualities of paint, Super and Stupendous. The company was established eight years ago and began with only one type of paint. Sales of the original product have been rather stable in the past 5 years. In 2010, a second, higher-quality paint was introduced, and sales of this product have increased each year due to reasonably effective sales efforts. The president is currently concerned about the potential inefficient use of capacity and the effect that this has on profits.
All raw materials are currently purchased from outside suppliers and no difficulty is foreseen in obtaining the necessary inventories for production in the future. All inventories are currently considered to be at the lowest safe levels possible given the delivery, production, and sales cycles.
Given the current production capacity, the company will have room for expansion for the next few years without building new facilities or expanding the current building. The company will also have the option of starting a second production shift to support future sales if necessary; therefore, increased production will be obt.

Final Paper To complete this assignment, read through the scenario.docx
Final Paper
To complete this assignment, read through the scenario below and address the specific questions and issues indicated. Review the "Introduction to the Miller Family" document for specific information on each member of the family.
Grandmother Ella has been dealing with cancer for years now and has tried alternative remedies and juicing. She went into remission for some time, but now the cancer has returned and she is in the hospital. Her husband, of American Indian descent, has his ideas about what needs to be done as Ella comes to the end of her life. Ella has her preferences, though she is now so weak that she has given up in many ways. The family members are each experiencing their own fears and are grieving as they face the loss that will occur as Ella’s life comes to a close. Ella prefers to die at home and has felt stressed by the discord and discomfort of family members since being hospitalized.
You are the social worker for this case. You meet this family in the hospital setting as they are considering whether the patient will remain there for her final days or whether hospice and palliative care will be provided for her in her home.
For this assignment, you will:
Synthesize the current research that is relevant to this scenario.
Discuss the cultural or traditional issues that could arise at this time. Consider how the integration of alternative and complementary medicine and beliefs, mainstream medical practices, and cultural/traditional rituals and practices might create issues and what they might include.
Describe how the family might react to the following possible scenarios:
Ella wishes to stick with alternative and complementary practices.
Ella is coerced into following mainstream medical advice.
Ella’s husband insists that, as father and husband, his family traditions should be adhered to.
Examine the biological basis for care and describe how the choices for care might affect the other family members with respect to their individual problems, if at all.
Son Sam, the alcoholic
Daughter Lila, with diabetes
Grandson Josh, starting to have drug problems
Granddaughter Lucy, bipolar with more entrenched drug problems
Daughter-in-law, Sarah’s stress related to her family’s medical issues (nephew with leukemia, brother with HIV, and her father’s perspective that they are all “crazy!”)
Discuss the micro, mezzo, and macro influences affecting both the patient and the diverse family members in this scenario as impacted by Ella’s medical condition and prognosis.
What are the pertinent and likely family (micro) conflicts and differences, and concerns that could be encountered?
How is the neighborhood and extended family (mezzo) reacting to the situation?
If she returns home, what considerations need to be taken into account as part of her discharge plan? Using your local area, research and present the needed or preferred community resources (macro) that would be available to them. Critique the ability of these communi.
Final Argument Paper The Case of the West Memphis ThreeIn 1994,.docx
Final Argument Paper: The Case of the West Memphis Three
In 1994, three teenage males were convicted for the crimes of murder in West Memphis, Arkansas. Jessie MisKelley Jr, Damien Echols, and Jason Baldwin were tried and convicted for the murder of three 8 year-old boys: Steven Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers. Jessie and Jason received life sentences while Damien, the suspected ring-leader, was sentenced to death.
In August of 2011, all three men made an Alford Plea and were released from jail as time served. An Alford plea is better known as the “I’m guilty but I didn’t do it” defense.
Under the Alford plea, the defendant admits that sufficient evidence exists with which the prosecution could likely convince a judge or jury to find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. However, the defendant(s) cannot be charged with these crimes again (Double Jeopardy Law). All three are currently free men and trying to integrate back into society.
In 2013, we are still in search of answers as to what happened to the three 8 year-old boys and who is responsible for their death. Under the Alford plea, Damien, Jason, and Jessie are considered guilty of these crimes. Under our laws, they are considered ex-cons. The state of Arkansas has declared the murders of the three boys a cold case despite questions that have been raised regarding the possible involvement of two of the stepfathers, John Mark Byers and Terry Hobbs.
There are many speculations as to what might have happened if the three men would have chosen to wait for a re-trial.
For this paper, present an argument as to what you believe would have been the outcome of such a case. Would the three been found guilty or not guilty?
Additionally, this argument will be focused on a specific element of the case.
You may choose one of the following: police error/law enforcement mistakes (including false confession), Satanic Panic, or Media Involvement in case.
Whichever element you choose to write about will be the sole argument for the paper.
After reviewing all of the court testimonies, documents, evidence, and extra accounts that the real jury did not have access to, you will make a decision and support it with evidence as to the guilt or wrongful conviction of these three young men.
There are a lot of evidence, statements, etc to dig through for this case. However, as a jury member it is imperative that you look at all that is available to you in order to make a sound judgment. The job of a jury member is to: sort through conflicting claims; weigh all evidence as objectively as possible, without personal biases; and uncover the assumptions behind the messages you are hearing.
For the introduction section to your paper (1.5-2 pgs), give an overview of the crimes and how/why these three young men were arrested and charged. Also indicate to your reader what sentences these men received as well as information pertaining to their Alford Plea. You will then foll.

FederalismThe system of federalism was instituted with the writing.docx
Federalism
The system of federalism was instituted with the writing and authorization of the Constitution in 1787. In dividing power between states and the national government, federalism has undergone challenges to the placement of power. Should power reside primarily in national or in state government? The Civil War was the most dramatic challenge to the placement of power. Southern states argued, under the leadership of John C. Calhoun, that states’ power superseded national power, while northern states, under the leadership of President Abraham Lincoln, stressed the need for union under the leadership and direction of the national government.
In the more than two hundred years since the Constitution’s adoption, there have been many changes to the meaning of federalism, with power shifting between state and national governments. In the twentieth century, the shifts of power became largely associated with the national government’s ability to provide increased funding sources. With more funding available, the national government has expanded its impact on all areas of state governments. This increased power has had many advocates and many detractors, each with strong justifications.
Research federalism using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Write a paper on federalism. Structure your paper as follows:
Define federalism.
Explain three advantages of federalism.
Explain three disadvantages of federalism.
Identify and describe at least two ways in which American federalism has changed since the ratification of the Constitution.

Fanciful, Inc. is a case study which allows you to incorporate n.docx
Fanciful, Inc.
is a case study which allows you to incorporate numerous financial and managerial accounting concepts into a single business setting. You will take the position of the company controller who will prepare the budget for the year ended December 31, 2013, using the actual data from 2008 through 2012, and information given to you by various departments. You will prepare a report for the president of the company, describing the strengths and weakness of the corporation, as well as provide suggestions for the future. In short, you will be responsible for the planning and control procedures for the company from an accounting standpoint.
In order to focus on important accounting concepts, certain simplifications are necessary to make this case manageable. The student should keep the following simplifications in mind while working on this case:
·
Work in process inventories will be ignored.
·
Financial and IRS tax will be the same.
·
Some projections for 2013 will be given.
·
Standards used for the 2013 budget will be the reasonably obtainable standards.
·
No hourly worker will work overtime.
·
All price changes will occur on January 1st and will remain in effect for the entire year.
·
The actual 2012 information is available while preparing the 2013 budget.
·
All debt transactions will occur either on January 1st or December 31st.
·
There are no bad debts.
The student should also keep in mind that the budgeting process is not an exact science; therefore, approximate figures provide adequate information for the decision maker. Figures should be rounded to the whole dollar throughout the budgeting process and the control applications. Since it is not possible to have a partial machine or person, certain figures will always have to be rounded up.
GENERAL COMPANY INFORMATION
Fanciful, Inc.
is a paint manufacturing company that produces two qualities of paint, Super and Stupendous. The company was established eight years ago and began with only one type of paint. Sales of the original product have been rather stable in the past 5 years. In 2010, a second, higher-quality paint was introduced, and sales of this product have increased each year due to reasonably effective sales efforts. The president is currently concerned about the potential inefficient use of capacity and the effect that this has on profits.
All raw materials are currently purchased from outside suppliers and no difficulty is foreseen in obtaining the necessary inventories for production in the future. All inventories are currently considered to be at the lowest safe levels possible given the delivery, production, and sales cycles.
Given the current production capacity, the company will have room for expansion for the next few years without building new facilities or expanding the current building. The company will also have the option of starting a second production shift to support future sales if necessary; therefore, increased production will be obt.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
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.

An understanding of the activities of the social movement, its participants, visions and strategies. An understanding of whether the social movement addressed more than one form of oppression, and if so, how the movement saw the connection between the forms of oppression.
