Israel Has the Right to Defend Itself
The document sarcastically argues that while certain groups like politicians and law enforcement claim the right to defend themselves, marginalized groups in America like indigenous peoples, African Americans, immigrants, and the poor are denied that same right. It criticizes the idea that citizens should help their government rather than expect their government to help citizens.
GOVcivilrights
The document provides an overview of civil rights and discrimination in the United States. It discusses the country's heterogeneous population and immigration history. It describes forms of race-based discrimination faced by African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans. It outlines key civil rights legislation and court cases that aimed to end segregation and discrimination based on race, sex, religion and other factors. Landmark cases discussed include Brown v. Board of Education, which ruled that separate educational facilities are inherently unequal, and Loving v. Virginia, which struck down laws forbidding interracial marriage.
PSYAttitudeandSocialInfluence
This document discusses attitudes, where they come from, and how they can change. It defines an attitude as a predisposition to think and act in certain ways towards people, objects, or ideas. Attitudes are formed through conditioning, observational learning, and cognitive evaluation. They can also be influenced by culture, parents, and peers. Attitudes help people interpret the world and guide behavior. While attitudes often predict behavior, they do not always match actions. Attitudes can change through compliance, identification, and internalization in response to social pressures or consistency with personal values. Prejudice involves inflexible stereotypes that are difficult to change and can lead to discrimination.
Geousandcanada2
The document provides an overview of cultural geography in the United States and Canada. It discusses population patterns, density and distribution of people, urbanization trends, and history and government influences in both countries. Key points include the US having a diverse population including many immigrants, and Canada having most of its population living near the US border with two official languages of English and French.
GOVChapter2
- The document outlines the basic concepts of government that influenced the development of government in the American colonies, including ordered government, limited government, and representative government as outlined in landmark English documents like the Magna Carta.
- It then discusses the different types of colonial governments and growing calls for unity among the colonies, culminating in the First and Second Continental Congresses. This led to the Declaration of Independence and establishment of new state governments with principles like popular sovereignty, limited government, and separation of powers.
- However, the Articles of Confederation that followed had many weaknesses, leading to compromises at the Constitutional Convention and the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, which was then ratified despite opposition from Anti-Federal
Election Process
The document summarizes the process of the U.S. presidential election system from the initial testing of candidacies around 2 years out, through campaigning, primaries and caucuses, national conventions, debates, election day voting, the electoral college vote, and culminating with the inauguration of the new president on January 20th. Key aspects include fundraising requirements, primary dates and locations, the roles of the media and campaign advertising, and the focus on swing states in the final months leading up to election day.
Europe Unit 4
1. Europe covers 1.9 million square miles and has a long jagged coastline that has facilitated trade by sea. Mountains like the Alps and Pyrenees cover central and southern Europe, while fertile plains and rivers provide key trade links.
2. The climate is generally mild due to ocean currents, though northern Europe has colder winters. Agriculture is very productive, while industry and services like banking and tourism are also important to the economy.
3. With a population of 520 million that mostly lives in urban areas, Europe has a long history stretching back to ancient Greece and Rome with key events like the Renaissance, Industrial Revolution, and post-WWII division and reunification.
GOVDebates
This document summarizes the positive and negative aspects of presidential debates, as well as voters' perspectives on debates. Positives include unmediated messages, participation in history, and revealing a candidate's ability to lead. Negatives include lack of new information and amplifying mistakes. Voters value seeing candidates' character, but debates may exaggerate superficial qualities over skills needed for governance. Voters also prefer fairness, engagement with opponents' ideas, and reasoned arguments over nonverbal factors like voice modulation.

It provides background that Rwanda had two main ethnic groups, the Hutus and Tutsis, with the Hutus launching a period of systematic killing of Tutsis and some Hutus. Tools used in the genocide included assassinations, death lists, hate propaganda, and civilian militias. Nearly 1 million people were killed, which was almost twice the population of Washington D.C. at the time. Students were then assigned to different groups to research and present on aspects of the genocide and its aftermath.
China Section 1
China has a diverse landscape that includes mountains, deserts, plains, and rivers. Mountains cover one-third of the country and include the high-altitude Plateau of Tibet. Deserts like the Taklamakan and Gobi are very hot and dry. Plains along the coast are fertile and home to most of China's large population. Major rivers include the Yellow River, known as "China's Sorrow" due to its destructive flooding, and the Yangtze River, where a massive new dam is being constructed to control floods. Climate varies widely due to geography but is influenced by monsoons along coastal areas.
Japan and the Koreas

GEOSouthAmerica1
1) Brazil is the largest country in South America, with diverse landscapes including the Amazon River basin, highlands, and coastal lowlands.
2) Brazil has a variety of climates and economic regions, from the tropical rainforest of the Amazon to the cattle ranching plains of the South.
3) Most Brazilians live along the Atlantic coast in cities, though the government is trying to encourage more inland settlement. Soccer is very popular nationwide.
Australia1
Australia is located between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It is considered a continent rather than an island due to its large size. Physically, Australia is mostly flat with low mountains and coastal plains, and has been worn down by wind and time to the lowest and flattest continent. The Great Barrier Reef is an important coral formation off the coast, and the Great Dividing Range divides water flows. The outback refers to remote interior regions, while stations are livestock ranches. Mining, agriculture, and tourism are key economic activities, and most Australians live along the coasts.
Five Themes of Geography
The document outlines the five themes of geography used to understand geographic locations:
1) Location describes where things are either through absolute coordinates or relative to other places.
2) Place looks at the physical and human characteristics that define different areas.
3) Human-environment interaction examines how humans adapt to, change, and depend on their environments.
4) Movement considers how people, goods, and ideas flow between places.
5) Region identifies areas with common physical or cultural features defined by geographers.
Domestic Policy
Three-strikes laws passed in the 1980s require life imprisonment for those convicted of a third felony. California saw reduced crime rates after passing such laws. However, they can also lead to over-criminalization, as marijuana offenders are 4 times more likely to be arrested. Poverty levels are determined based on the cost of a basic food plan, though new groups facing poverty include female-headed households. Nearly half of African American female-headed households live in poverty. While some claim only 600,000 are homeless, organizations working with the homeless estimate the number is between 2-3 million. Social Security and Supplemental Security Income help address poverty, though Social Security is projected to fall short starting in 2042.
GEOSouthAmerica2
The document provides an overview of the geography, economies, populations, and recent histories of countries in South America.

Several countries have faced issues with illegal drug cartels, civil wars, and economic crises in recent decades.
GOVcampaignsandmedi
The document discusses several aspects of media coverage of presidential campaigns including:
1. Media coverage tends to focus more on the "horse race" aspect of who is winning rather than substantive discussion of issues.
2. "Attack journalism" has become common where the media focuses on weaknesses and private lives of candidates in a disproportionately negative way.
3. Claims of bias in media coverage are often made, though studies show bias is often perceived based on whether coverage fits one's own beliefs rather than objective measures of bias.
4. The audience plays a role in how media messages are constructed and received, so it is important to understand audience interests, knowledge, and sources of information.
Centralia Conference 2009
The document discusses new technologies that can be used in the classroom, including online testing tools, video hosting websites, podcasting, Google Earth, open educational resources, and communication/collaboration tools. It provides examples of how these technologies engage students and enhance learning. The presenter advocates experimenting with various free and low-cost technologies and resources to facilitate teaching and learning.
Cold War U.S. History 1945-Present
The document provides background on the origins and early history of the Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union from 1945-1960. It discusses the emergence of the two superpowers after World War 2 and the ideological differences that fueled tensions. Key events that escalated the conflict included the Soviet domination of Eastern Europe, the communist revolution in China, and Soviet spying in the US. The arms race and use of covert operations by the CIA to undermine governments unfriendly to the US also increased Cold War hostilities.

Jane Goodall observed chimpanzees in Tanzania for over 30 years using naturalistic observation. Researchers must decide on a specific question and methodology before beginning research. Samples are small groups of participants studied out of the total population. Common research methods include naturalistic observation, case studies, surveys, longitudinal studies, cross-sectional studies, experiments, and correlations. Ethical issues around animal research have become prominent.
Psychology Chapter 1
This document provides an overview of the field of psychology. It discusses the goals of psychology, which are to describe, explain, predict, and influence behavior. The major approaches to psychology are also outlined, including psychoanalytic, behavioral, humanistic, cognitive, biological, and sociocultural approaches. The document also summarizes the history of psychology and describes different subfields within the profession, such as clinical, counseling, school, and industrial/organizational psychology.
Writing For Broadcast
There are two main types of stories for broadcast writing: news features and breaking news/daily announcements. News features are between 3 to 7 minutes long and discuss past events using a storyboard, while breaking news stories report on current events in short 15 second to 1 minute pieces written for a teleprompter. When writing for broadcast, stories should be conversational, concise, simplify complex ideas, and avoid newspaper-style writing conventions. Writers should also research information, avoid scaring viewers, and not characterize the news.
War in the pacific to atomic bomb
The document summarizes key events in the Pacific theater of World War II leading up to the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki:
1) The U.S. pursued an island-hopping strategy to capture strategic Japanese islands for airbases, suffering casualties in battles in the Gilbert Islands, Saipan and Guam.
2) MacArthur led forces to recapture the Philippines from 1944-1945, where the U.S. faced fierce resistance from Japanese defenders.
3) Battles on Iwo Jima and Okinawa in early 1945 involved heavy casualties from Japanese forces using kamikaze tactics and hiding in caves to fight to the end.
United Nations
The United Nations was established in 1945 with the goal of maintaining international peace and security. It was founded by 26 allied nations opposed to Germany, Italy and Japan in WWII. The UN Charter outlines the purposes, structure and powers of the organization, including preserving world peace, encouraging justice between nations, promoting cooperation to solve problems, and serving as an agency for these goals. The UN General Assembly represents all members and important decisions are made by majority vote. The Security Council is responsible for maintaining peace and its decisions can authorize military action by UN members.
Stress Chapter 15
This document discusses stress, its causes and effects, and ways to cope with and reduce stress. It defines stress as a feeling of tension, worry or threat resulting from demands placed on a person. Sources of stress include life changes, daily hassles, conflicts, and socioeconomic factors. Individual differences like hardiness and resilience impact responses to stress. Chronic stress can negatively impact physical health by suppressing the immune system and increasing risk of heart disease. Coping strategies include problem-focused approaches and emotion-focused approaches like relaxation. Treatment for stress-related disorders may involve psychotherapy and medication. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and social support system can also help manage stress.
Speech Power Point
The document provides tips and guidelines for effectively using visual aids such as overhead projectors, flip charts, posters, videos, audiotapes, books, handouts, and microphones when giving presentations or speeches. It discusses preparing, using, and handling the various visual aids before and during presentations. It also provides general guidelines for using supporting materials like examples, statistics, testimony, and comparisons to strengthen speeches. Finally, it suggests visualizing an improved speech to help with preparation and building confidence.
Psychology Exam Review 1
This document provides a summary of key concepts from chapters 6-10 of a psychology exam review. It defines important terms like neurons, the central nervous system, hormones, sleep stages, perception, classical conditioning, memory storage and the three stages of memory (sensory, short term, long term). Examples are given of experiments like Little Albert that demonstrated classical conditioning principles.
Thinking Chapter11
Thinking involves units like images, symbols, concepts, prototypes, and rules. There are two main kinds of thinking: directed thinking aims for a specific goal, while non-directed thinking allows free association. Problem solving uses strategies like breaking problems into steps, working backward from the goal, and recognizing similarities to past problems. Language develops in stages from babbling to one-word to two-word phrases to full sentences, and involves sounds, meanings, and rules of syntax. Theories differ on how language is learned, whether through conditioning, observation, or innate abilities.
Memory Chapter 10
The document summarizes the key processes and stages of memory. It discusses encoding, storage, and retrieval of memories and the three stages of memory: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. It also describes different types of long-term memory like semantic and episodic memory. The case of patient H.M. is discussed, who had brain surgery removing his hippocampus and lost the ability to store new long-term memories after the surgery.
Writing a Case Study
This document discusses case studies, providing definitions, benefits, drawbacks, and tips for writing case studies. It notes that case studies provide detailed observations of individuals or organizations to gain insights. They can produce more detailed pictures than other methods and help generate hypotheses, but the subjects may not be representative. There are two types - factual cases about real situations and fictional cases that use hypothetical scenarios. The document outlines advantages and disadvantages of each type and provides formatting guidelines for writing case studies.
Latin America
The document provides an overview of the geography, climate, economy, and people of Latin America. It notes that Latin America spans from Mexico to South America, covering around 8 million square miles. The region has diverse terrain including mountains, plains, rivers, and rainforests. The climate varies from tropical to temperate. The economy is based on agriculture, industry, and services. The population is around 500 million people and includes many ethnic groups.
