Humans vs. Westworld: A Cultural Science Approach
By John Hartley
What does it mean to be human? What does technology have to do with that? And how do we know where “we” stop and the non-human world – natural and artificial – begins? These questions are ever more urgent as human action changes the natural environment, while human labour is increasingly automated. What will become of us when robots achieve consciousness? The answers seem to depend much more on culture than on technology; and popular speculative fiction seems to be well ahead of formal scholarship in thinking them through. Using a cultural science framework, this presentation looks at how the problem of the human is imagined in two current hit TV series – Westworld (USA) and Humans (UK). What is at stake in their very different answers to the same troubling questions?

"Extraterrestrial Intelligence: Ancient Civilizations and Modern Scientific Discoveries”
Throughout millennia, people of all nationalities and religions have speculated on the idea of extraterrestrial contact. With over half the world’s population believing in some form of alien life, it is difficult to discount the possibility. The religions of the world, as of 2012, are 33% Christian, 24% Muslim, and 15% Hindu (The Top Three Religions) (Grover, 2018). Each of these religions share a commonality in the form of extraterrestrial life. Christians and Muslims refer to extraterrestrials as angels, while Hinduism refers to them as "gods". Nearly all of the ancient religions, from around the world, refer to extraterrestrials in one way or another. Greeks, Romans, Incas, Aztecs, Mayans, and Egyptians all believed in extraterrestrials, in the form of their "gods". With over half of the world’s population believing in extraterrestrial life, and nearly 80% of the world population believing in a mainstream religion, is the idea of extraterrestrial life still controversial?
In the Peer-reviewed journal, titled “Strategic Ignorance and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence: Critiquing the Discursive Segregation of UFOs from Scientific Inquiry”, outlines the underlying issue, regarding scientific stigma on the study and communication of the existence of extraterrestrial life. The scientific community, as a whole, inhibits public understanding of science, dissuades academic inquiry within the physical and social sciences, and undermines progressive space policy initiatives. (Todd, 75-95)
On 27 February, 2008, Steven Hawking presented a speech, at the TED2008 conference in Monterey, California. This article follows, primarily along the opposing lines of what Steven Hawking’s speech, titled “Questioning the Universe” delivered, about the possibilities of extraterrestrial life. Hawking was quoted as stating “we don’t seem to have been visited by aliens”, “I am discounting the reports of UFO’s”, Why would they only appear to cranks and weirdos?”, Despite an extensive search by the SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) project, we haven’t heard any alien television quiz show. This probably indicates that there are no alien civilizations at our stage of development within the radius of a few h ...

This document discusses several topics related to the social construction of science:
1. It references Bruno Latour and Steve Woolgar's 1979 book "Laboratory Life" which argued that scientific facts are social constructions.
2. It discusses the "Sokal Affair" where a physicist published a nonsense paper in a cultural studies journal to test their intellectual standards.
3. It covers the debate between positivism, which sees scientific truths as facts, and relativism, which sees them as social fetishes, as well as constructivism which sees them as "factish."
4. It examines arguments around extending the notion of agency in technoscience to include non-scientists, non
Ghost hunting 101
Brandy Stark gave a presentation on ghost hunting 101 at the Pinellas Park Library on June 20, 2016. She discussed her background in academia and ghost hunting. She explained key terms like supernatural, paranormal, and skeptic. Stark also covered different types of ghosts and research methods like using cameras, EMF meters, thermometers, and digital recorders. She emphasized the importance of the researcher as an instrument and documenting experiences. Stark provided resources for reliable paranormal teams and advised caution around ghost tours. She concluded that interest in ghosts continues to rise as technology advances.
The future - 2038
The document discusses challenges and opportunities that may arise in the future based on emerging technologies and their implications. It summarizes key points from several sources about the accelerating rate of technological change and its potential impacts. Some of the issues raised include the threats of climate change, artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, and how humanism may be impacted. It also highlights the momentum towards greater human control over nature and the environment through science and technology, and questions who or what may compete with humans as the dominant species in the future.
What lies over the horizon? Scenarios to the Future of Social Sciences in the...
The year was 2040 when the social sciences transformed into something really unrecognizable.
The social science catalogue now includes courses like coding and decoding, myth and magic, food futures, reality engineering, micropolitics, macrohistory and macrofutures, decolonization, re-creativity and re-invention, foresight studies, big history and galaxies, robotics and space sciences, spirituality and social transformations, etc. This was the tip of the iceberg. The climate of uncertainty and the explosive success of digital technology not to mention some game-changing events like the Occupy Wall Street, the discovery of the Higgs-boson like particle, the emergence of culture as driver of new economic growth among others continue to influence our ways of knowing and re-perceiving the social sciences.
Recently, many academics have speculated about the future of the social sciences. The shape of things to come will certainly come in a digitized content and more according to experts. This paper explored some scenarios on the futures of the social sciences. It tracked emerging developments and explored the possible, plausible, and preferred social science scenarios in 2040. It employed the futures triangle and archetypal scenario (business as usual, best case, worst case, outliers) methods developed by Sohail Inayatullah and Peter Schwartz respectively.The purpose of this paper is to anticipate events and leverage the changes shaping the future of the social sciences.
Does "Public Podcasting" Have a Future?
This document discusses the future of public podcasting in the US. It notes that while podcasting has boomed in recent years, driven by advertising dollars, many of the top 20 podcasts serve public purposes like news, education and science. However, the growing commercialization and "platformization" of podcasts threatens public podcasts, as platforms like Spotify control access and data while prioritizing lowest common denominator programming. The document argues public podcasters need to position themselves as a public resource to advocate for defenses that protect their mission-driven work, and calls for more support from public broadcasting and commercial news organizations.
Introducing sociology
This document provides an introduction to the field of sociology. It defines sociology as the systematic study of human society and social interaction, based on scientific research rather than common sense. It discusses key thinkers in the development of sociology such as Durkheim, Marx, Weber, DuBois, Parsons, and Mills and their perspectives on analyzing society. It also outlines how sociology can help debunk social myths and understand society in a more evidence-based way.

Sci fi broadcast
Science fiction combines elements of both fact and fiction by using empirical observations and imagination rooted in reflective thought to speculate about plausible extensions of contemporary science. It engages audiences by creating convincing fictional worlds and can inspire scientific ideas and progress. Some see it as a response to technological changes that promotes a particular worldview through speculation, while others view it as low culture entertainment or high-level social criticism depending on its execution.

The document discusses the advantages of Blitzkrieg warfare utilized by Nazi Germany in World War II. It notes that Hitler invested in developing new military techniques in the 1930s, including Blitzkrieg tactics which relied on speed, air power, and coordination of infantry and tanks to quickly overrun enemy forces. Blitzkrieg allowed Germany to achieve early victories against unprepared opponents through rapid, concentrated attacks.

The Multiverse of Lies - Explaining post-truth populism using MCU examples (Á...
Popular culture is an excellent, but little used intermediary for education and dissemination. Modern educational theory (e.g. constructivist pedagogy) has been long arguing that the only really integral parts of consciousness are those that can be related to earlier cognitive schemata. Such is typically the case in works of popular culture, which, moreover, often reflect on important social problems.
This is particularly important where civic education is virtually absent from school education. Hungary is such a country, that is why a series of books on well-known popular culture works for the purpose of science communication and education has had a strong resonance. The book series currently consists of 7 volumes with 83 papers by 72 authors. In addition to the MCU, examples are drawn from the Star Wars and Harry Potter universes, as well as from works such as The Handmaid's Tale.
The specific studies in the book series also show how the phenomenon of disinformation and fake news can be explained in terms of the MCU films. The films Iron Man 3 (2013) and Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019) are excellent examples to illustrate the post-truth situation. Iron Man exploits the audience's curiosity and fear of terrorism through the character of the "Mandarin", while Spider-Man is a spectacular illustration of the cognitive weaknesses behind disinformation. He makes us believe that he is stuck in spectacular clichés, and then asks us: how could we believe this transparent tale?
The indirect aim of the presentation is to discuss that in the current populist political environment of Hungary it is particularly important to find alternative discourses and narratives that make the problems of fake news and the post truth phenomenon articulable, understandable, and negotiable. The MCU provides an excellent framework for this.

The universe of possible worlds is constantly expanding and diversifying
thanks to the incessant world-constructing activity of human minds and

laboratory of the world-constructing enterprise.

Although design usually references sculpture and painting for material,
formal and graphic inspiration, and more recently the social sciences for
protocols on working with and studying people—if we are interested in shifting
design’s focus from designing for how the world is now to designing for how
things could be—we will need to turn to speculative culture and what Lubomír
Doležel has called an “experimental laboratory of the world-constructing
enterprise.”

70 CHAPTER 5
Speculating is based on imagination, the ability to literally imagine
other worlds and alternatives. In Such Stuff as Dreams Keith oatley writes
that “[i]magination gives us entry to abstraction, including mathematics.
We gain the ability to conceive alternatives and hence to evaluate. We
gain the ability to think of futures and outcomes, skills of planning.
The ability to think ethically also becomes a possibility.”
2
There are many kinds of imagination, dark imaginations, original
imaginations, social, creative, mathematical. There are also professional
imaginations—the scientific imagination, the technological imagination,
the artistic imagination, the sociological imagination, and of course
the one we are most interested in, the design imagination.

As Lubomír Doležel writes in Heterocosmica: Fiction and Possible Worlds,
“our actual world is surrounded by an infinity of other possible worlds.”

once we move away from the present, from how things are now, we enter
this realm of possible worlds. We find the idea of creating fictional worlds
and putting them to work fascinating. The ones we are most interested in
are not just for entertainment but for reflection, critique, provocation,
and inspiration. Rather than thinking about architecture, products,
and the environment, we start with laws, ethics, political systems,
social beliefs, values, fears, and hopes, and how these can be translated
into material expressions, embodied in material culture, becoming little

Pomo revision (before exam)
Postmodern media texts employ several defining features that blur traditional boundaries between reality and representation. These include hybridization, intertextuality, self-reflexivity, manipulation of time and space through nonlinear narratives, and an emphasis on dystopian themes and flattened affect. Key postmodern theorists like Baudrillard, Foucault, and Lyotard explored related concepts of hyperreality, panopticism, and the critique of grand narratives. While postmodern media challenge conventional understandings of genre, narrative and the audience experience, some critics argue that postmodernism is not a useful framework or that all contemporary media cannot be defined as postmodern.
Science in the 21st Century conference talk
The document discusses using blogs as a tool for scientists to engage the public in science. It argues that scientists need to do a better job communicating with non-experts to build support for funding. Blogs make outreach easy and allow scientists to find their voice and reach a large audience. The example is given of a science blogger who wrote imaginary conversations with her dog about physics concepts, which led to a popular science book deal.
Grand Weaver and World Views
This document discusses the changing world views over the past 50 years and the rise of postmodernism. It argues that each decade since the 1950s has seen the loss of an important aspect of what it means to be human: innocence in the 1950s, authority in the 1960s, love in the 1970s, hope and the future in the 1980s, and the power of reason in the 1990s. Postmodernism rejects objective truth and moral values in favor of subjective interpretations. As Christians, the document says we must define truth through correspondence to reality and logical coherence, and remain in the world but not of it, following Jesus' example.

It includes an interview with Elizabeth Grosz on Deleuze and the non-human turn, as well as chapters on non-human life, objectal humans, human and non-human agency, Bergson and Deleuze's conception of life beyond the human condition, insects and perception in the Baroque house, Iqbal's becoming-woman in The Rape of Sita, and becoming-animal as a trap for humans using the example of Madagascar. The collection aims to further develop Deleuze and Guattari's philosoph

Octavia Butler SF Lilith's Brood
This document discusses different perspectives on defining science fiction and its key characteristics. It examines views that science fiction involves introducing a "novum" or strange new element (Darko Suvin), exploring "what if" scenarios like thought experiments (Gwyneth Jones), emphasizing technology and symbolic objects over character (Damien Broderick), and satisfying readers' expectations of rational scientific explanations (Samuel Delany). The document also provides context on author Octavia Butler and her works like Lilith's Brood that feature symbiotic relationships between humans and aliens, exploring concepts like parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism.
Media theory top trumps
This document provides an overview of key concepts and theorists in media theory, organized into four sections: media language, media representation, media industries, and media audiences. In media language, it discusses concepts from semiotics, narratology, genre theory, structuralism, and postmodernism. In media representation, it outlines theories around representation, identity, gender, ethnicity and postcolonialism. It then covers theories relating to power and regulation in media industries, and effects, cultivation, reception and audience theories for media audiences. The document is intended as a study guide or reference tool for understanding important ideas and thinkers in media theory.

The Study of Sociology
Michael Burawoy
“Public sociologies: Contradictions,
Dilemmas, and Possibilities”
Joel Best “Telling the Truth about Damned Lies and Statistics”
Purpose of Sociology?
Provide abstract analytical “models” of society
to aid in understanding
Getting back to social reform…
C. Wright Mills and criticisms of “the power elite”
2
Applied sociology
Between extremes… using sociology to solve problems
NAACP
1954 Brown vs Board of Education
Environment
Social responses to natural disasters
AIDS
Education
Business
Difference between reform (radical…desire to rebuild society…we need a new system) and applying expert knowledge to particular contexts
“Public sociologies: Contradictions, Dilemmas, and Possibilities”
Michael Burawoy
Sociological knowledge for whom?
For what purpose?
NOT easy questions!
“Since the middle of the 19th century,
social scientists have been asking about the influence of their work on society (27)
Contribute to social order and stability?
Promote social change?
Address problems; devise solutions?
Objectivity? Neutral and value-free? Passion?
Opening scene of the essay…
“Public sociologies: Contradictions, Dilemmas, and Possibilities”
References a meeting of the ASA in 2003. Why?
Vote on a member resolution
Should sociologists have or act on opinions regarding important “issues of the day”?
Overwhelming opposition to the war in Iraq
“Foreign interventions that do not have the support of the world community…” (27)
Intervention could spark terrorist attacks…
Passed by 2/3 majority (22% abstained)
In an opinion poll; 75% opposed the war
Ethos
Historical shift…1968, Vietnam war
Hypotheses of shift
1) ASA – has moved further left
In 1968…many sociologists held beliefs similar to the majority of the country population (54% opposed the war)
In 2003, the inverse…75% sociologists opposed the war; 75% of the public supported it
2) the world itself is different
1968… world ripe for change…the 60s/70s
Public context and sociological conscience moved in opposite directions….
The vote
Controversial
Ethics/ code of conduct
Scientifically and professionally derived knowledge
Is taking a moral or political position incompatible with scientific objectivity?
What is Burawoy’s position? Explain.
Pure science/ public engagement?
Policy interventions?
Education?
Housing?
Healthcare?
Public sociology
Engages the publics beyond the academy (beyond the university) in dialogue about matters of political and moral concern (30)
Focuses in solutions to specific problems defined by clients (volunteerism…expertise in addressing problems; services contracted for a fee)
Businesses
State
Multilateral organizations
NGOs/ CBOs
Community of scientists
Committed to working on important puzzles through research programs

sapiens-a brief history of humankind
The book review provides a summary of Yuval Noah Harari's book "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" in 3 paragraphs. It discusses how the book divides human history into 4 major parts, from the cognitive revolution to the scientific revolution. It highlights an interesting story in the book about the evolution of economics and the development of currency. It concludes that the book is informative but could have explored its questions in more depth rather than just raising many questions without fully answering them.
Talking to My Dog About Science: Why Public Communication of Science Matters ...
Scientists need to better communicate science to the public to increase science literacy and build support. Blogs provide an easy way for scientists to engage the public in an accessible way on various science topics.

Science fiction combines elements of both fact and fiction by using empirical observations and imagination rooted in reflective thought to speculate about plausible extensions of contemporary science. It engages audiences by creating convincing fictional worlds and can inspire scientific ideas and progress. Some see it as a response to technological changes that promotes a particular worldview through speculation, while others view it as low culture entertainment or high-level social criticism depending on its execution.

It notes that Hitler invested in developing new military techniques in the 1930s, including Blitzkrieg tactics which relied on speed, air power, and coordination of infantry and tanks to quickly overrun enemy forces. Blitzkrieg allowed Germany to achieve early victories against unprepared opponents through rapid, concentrated attacks.

The Multiverse of Lies - Explaining post-truth populism using MCU examples (Á...
Popular culture is an excellent, but little used intermediary for education and dissemination. Modern educational theory (e.g. constructivist pedagogy) has been long arguing that the only really integral parts of consciousness are those that can be related to earlier cognitive schemata. Such is typically the case in works of popular culture, which, moreover, often reflect on important social problems.
This is particularly important where civic education is virtually absent from school education. Hungary is such a country, that is why a series of books on well-known popular culture works for the purpose of science communication and education has had a strong resonance. The book series currently consists of 7 volumes with 83 papers by 72 authors. In addition to the MCU, examples are drawn from the Star Wars and Harry Potter universes, as well as from works such as The Handmaid's Tale.
The specific studies in the book series also show how the phenomenon of disinformation and fake news can be explained in terms of the MCU films. The films Iron Man 3 (2013) and Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019) are excellent examples to illustrate the post-truth situation. Iron Man exploits the audience's curiosity and fear of terrorism through the character of the "Mandarin", while Spider-Man is a spectacular illustration of the cognitive weaknesses behind disinformation. He makes us believe that he is stuck in spectacular clichés, and then asks us: how could we believe this transparent tale?
The indirect aim of the presentation is to discuss that in the current populist political environment of Hungary it is particularly important to find alternative discourses and narratives that make the problems of fake news and the post truth phenomenon articulable, understandable, and negotiable. The MCU provides an excellent framework for this.

The universe of possible worlds is constantly expanding and diversifying
thanks to the incessant world-constructing activity of human minds and
hands. Literary fiction is probably the most active experimental
laboratory of the world-constructing enterprise.

Although design usually references sculpture and painting for material,
formal and graphic inspiration, and more recently the social sciences for
protocols on working with and studying people—if we are interested in shifting
design’s focus from designing for how the world is now to designing for how
things could be—we will need to turn to speculative culture and what Lubomír
Doležel has called an “experimental laboratory of the world-constructing
enterprise.”

Speculating is based on imagination, the ability to literally imagine
other worlds and alternatives. In Such Stuff as Dreams Keith oatley writes
that “[i]magination gives us entry to abstraction, including mathematics.
We gain the ability to conceive alternatives and hence to evaluate. We
gain the ability to think of futures and outcomes, skills of planning.
The ability to think ethically also becomes a possibility.”
2
There are many kinds of imagination, dark imaginations, original
imaginations, social, creative, mathematical. There are also professional
imaginations—the scientific imagination, the technological imagination,
the artistic imagination, the sociological imagination, and of course
the one we are most interested in, the design imagination.

once we move away from the present, from how things are now, we enter
this realm of possible worlds. We find the idea of creating fictional worlds
and putting them to work fascinating. The ones we are most interested in
are not just for entertainment but for reflection, critique, provocation,
and inspiration. Rather than thinking about architecture, products,
and the environment, we start with laws, ethics, political systems,
social beliefs, values, fears, and hopes, and how these can be translated

Pomo revision (before exam)
Postmodern media texts employ several defining features that blur traditional boundaries between reality and representation. These include hybridization, intertextuality, self-reflexivity, manipulation of time and space through nonlinear narratives, and an emphasis on dystopian themes and flattened affect. Key postmodern theorists like Baudrillard, Foucault, and Lyotard explored related concepts of hyperreality, panopticism, and the critique of grand narratives. While postmodern media challenge conventional understandings of genre, narrative and the audience experience, some critics argue that postmodernism is not a useful framework or that all contemporary media cannot be defined as postmodern.
Science in the 21st Century conference talk
The document discusses using blogs as a tool for scientists to engage the public in science. It argues that scientists need to do a better job communicating with non-experts to build support for funding. Blogs make outreach easy and allow scientists to find their voice and reach a large audience. The example is given of a science blogger who wrote imaginary conversations with her dog about physics concepts, which led to a popular science book deal.
Grand Weaver and World Views
This document discusses the changing world views over the past 50 years and the rise of postmodernism. It argues that each decade since the 1950s has seen the loss of an important aspect of what it means to be human: innocence in the 1950s, authority in the 1960s, love in the 1970s, hope and the future in the 1980s, and the power of reason in the 1990s. Postmodernism rejects objective truth and moral values in favor of subjective interpretations. As Christians, the document says we must define truth through correspondence to reality and logical coherence, and remain in the world but not of it, following Jesus' example.

This document discusses different perspectives on defining science fiction and its key characteristics. It examines views that science fiction involves introducing a "novum" or strange new element (Darko Suvin), exploring "what if" scenarios like thought experiments (Gwyneth Jones), emphasizing technology and symbolic objects over character (Damien Broderick), and satisfying readers' expectations of rational scientific explanations (Samuel Delany). The document also provides context on author Octavia Butler and her works like Lilith's Brood that feature symbiotic relationships between humans and aliens, exploring concepts like parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism.

“Public sociologies: Contradictions, Dilemmas, and Possibilities”
Michael Burawoy
Sociological knowledge for whom?
For what purpose?
NOT easy questions!
“Since the middle of the 19th century,
social scientists have been asking about the influence of their work on society (27)
Contribute to social order and stability?
Promote social change?
Address problems; devise solutions?
Objectivity? Neutral and value-free? Passion?
Opening scene of the essay…
“Public sociologies: Contradictions, Dilemmas, and Possibilities”
References a meeting of the ASA in 2003. Why?
Vote on a member resolution
Should sociologists have or act on opinions regarding important “issues of the day”?
Overwhelming opposition to the war in Iraq
“Foreign interventions that do not have the support of the world community…” (27)
Intervention could spark terrorist attacks…
Passed by 2/3 majority (22% abstained)
In an opinion poll; 75% opposed the war
Ethos
Historical shift…1968, Vietnam war
Hypotheses of shift
1) ASA – has moved further left
In 1968…many sociologists held beliefs similar to the majority of the country population (54% opposed the war)
In 2003, the inverse…75% sociologists opposed the war; 75% of the public supported it
2) the world itself is different
1968… world ripe for change…the 60s/70s
Public context and sociological conscience moved in opposite directions….
The vote
Controversial
Ethics/ code of conduct
Scientifically and professionally derived knowledge
Is taking a moral or political position incompatible with scientific objectivity?
What is Burawoy’s position? Explain.
Pure science/ public engagement?
Policy interventions?
Education?
Housing?
Healthcare?
Public sociology
Engages the publics beyond the academy (beyond the university) in dialogue about matters of political and moral concern (30)
Focuses in solutions to specific problems defined by clients (volunteerism…expertise in addressing problems; services contracted for a fee)
Businesses

Multilateral organizations
NGOs/ CBOs
Community of scientists
Committed to working on important puzzles through research programs

sapiens-a brief history of humankind
The book review provides a summary of Yuval Noah Harari's book "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" in 3 paragraphs. It discusses how the book divides human history into 4 major parts, from the cognitive revolution to the scientific revolution. It highlights an interesting story in the book about the evolution of economics and the development of currency. It concludes that the book is informative but could have explored its questions in more depth rather than just raising many questions without fully answering them.

Major Assessment 4 Cultural Bias Investigation Most educators agree.docx
Major Assessment 4: Cultural Bias Investigation Most educators agree that major influences on the achievement of students are the activities and support materials; environment; and types of expectations, interactions, and behaviors to which they are exposed. Therefore, an understanding of bias and skill in discerning subtle and/or overt bias in curriculum, instruction, and assessment are extremely important. Conduct a cultural bias investigation to examine a particular textbook with which you are familiar. Your investigation will focus on identifying instructional and assessment practices that reflect cultural bias and inhibit learning. The investigation will include reflection on the impact of these practices on student learning. Procedure 1. Make sure you are familiar with the key authors and experts described in the chapters in this section. Review at least five research-based sources that clarify the research to expand your understanding of the influence of culture on teaching and learning and the presence of bias in curriculum, instruction, and assessment. 2. Select and analyze a textbook with which you are familiar. Use the Sadkers’ (Sadker & Zittleman, 2012) list of the seven prevalent forms of bias in the curriculum to conduct a critical analysis of the textbook. Look at such aspects as pictures, names of people, the relative marginalization or integration of groups of people throughout the text, examples used, and so on. Summarize and present your data in displays (charts, tables, etc.). 3. Include in a written report the following: Introduction (text selected; rationale for selection; description of the text and context in which it is used) Review of the research on the influence of culture in teaching and learning and bias in the curriculum Summary of your findings (data tables and appropriate narratives) Discussion of the findings, including: { resonance with the research on bias { your understanding of bias and the challenges it poses to teaching and learning { the implications of your findings for teaching and learning Relate your discussion of the findings to class discussions and readings of the philosophy of education and purposes of curriculum. Be sure to adhere to APA guidelines in writing the final paper.

15-2aHow Identity Theft Occurs
Perpetrators of identity theft follow a common pattern after they have stolen a victim’s identity. To help you understand this process, we have created the “identity theft cycle.” Although some fraudsters perpetrate their frauds in slightly different ways, most generally follow the stages in the cycle shown in Figure 15.1.
Stage 1. Discovery
1. Perpetrators gain information.
2. Perpetrators verify information.
Stage 2. Action
1. Perpetrators accumulate documentation.
2. Perpetrators conceive cover-up or concealment actions.
Stage 3. Trial
1. First dimensional actions—Small thefts to test the stolen information.
2. Second dimensional actions—Larger thefts, often involving personal interaction, without much chance of getting caught.
3. Third dimensional actions—Largest thefts committed after perpetrators have confidence that their schemes are working.
Figure 15.1The Identity Theft Cycle
Stage 1: Discovery
The discovery stage involves two phases: information gathering and information verification. This is the first step in the identity theft cycle because all other actions the perpetrator takes depend upon the accuracy and effectiveness of the discovery stage. A powerful discovery stage constitutes a solid foundation for the perpetrator to commit identity theft. The smarter the perpetrator, the better the discovery foundation will be.
During the gaining information phase, fraudsters do all they can to gather a victim’s information. Examples of discovery techniques include such information-gathering techniques as searching trash, searching someone’s home or computer, stealing mail, phishing, breaking into cars or homes, scanning credit card information, or using other means whereby a perpetrator gathers information about a victim.
During the information verification phase, a fraudster uses various means to verify the information already gathered. Examples include telephone scams, where perpetrators call the victim and act as a representative of a business to verify the information gathered (this is known as pretexting), and trash searches (when another means was used to gather the original information). Although some fraudsters may not initially go through the information verification process, they will eventually use information verification procedures at some point during the scam. The scams of perpetrators who don’t verify stolen information are usually shorter and easier to catch than scams of perpetrators who verify stolen information.
Step 2: Action
The action stage is the second phase of the identity theft cycle. It involves two activities: accumulating documentation and devising cover-up or concealment actions.
Accumulating documentation refers to the process perpetrators use to obtain needed tools to defraud the victim. For example, using the information already obtained, perpetrators may apply for a bogus credit card, fake check, or driver’s license in the victim’s name. Although the perpetra.

In addition, soon after returning home, she began to experience moments of panic when in open spaces; flashbacks reliving the blast and the death of fellow soldiers; feelings of emotional numbness and depression; and being easily startled. She was placed on medical leave and diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and is currently being seen by a psychiatrist at the VA hospital. Her husband understands the concept of PTSD but is unprepared to handle his wife’s deteriorating condition.
Recently, Jennifer was seen at the local urgent care center for recurrent headaches, complaints of shortness of breath, and chest pain. Her husband informed the urgent care nurse that for the past four weeks his wife has been unable to care for the children, remains in bed, complaining of headaches, and is very ‘jumpy’.
The nurse assesses Jennifer knowing that returning veterans with PTSD and their families face an array of challenges, with implications for the veterans, their partners, and their children. The nurse considers referring them to: a social worker specializing in crisis intervention for veterans, a family counselor, the school nurse, a family health care practitioner.
Key elements of the nurse’s assessment are as follows:
Jennifer is 33 year-old woman who enlisted in Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) in college, where she majored in Journalism. Upon graduation, she obtained a position in the Army as public affairs broadcast specialist. Her first assignment was at a base in upstate New York. Three years ago, she was relocated to the St. Louis, Missouri area. Jennifer has been married to her husband, Zane, for 14 years and they have two children ages six and ten. Cameron is ten years-old and entering middle school and Zeta is six years-old and in kindergarten. Zane works as a civil engineer in the St. Louis area. Both Jennifer and Zane come from large families who reside in the Boston area. Jennifer’s family is Portuguese and Zane's is Irish, they were both raised Catholic. While Jennifer was deployed, her mother moved in with Zane and the children to provide additional support and child care.
One year ago, Jennifer was deployed to Afghanistan on a six month assignment to report on the events of the war: she thought she had a ‘safe’ assignment. While working on a story in the field an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) exploded near her: two soldiers and four citizens were killed including one child. Although she was unhurt, she was unable to sleep after this event. Upon returning stateside, she began experiencing vivid nightmares, sleeplessness, survivor guilt, and depression. She was recently diagnosed with PTSD and is attempting to find a support group and counseling. Unfortunately, she has found that treatment for fe.

Major Assignment - Learning NarrativeWrite a learning narr.docx
Major Assignment - Learning Narrative
Write a
learning narrative
that narrates a specific event from your life that helped you learn something new about yourself or others. Your narrative should focus on a specific event in a narrow timeframe, using vivid description, narration, detail, and dialogue to organize your memories and make the significance of what happened clear to an audience.
Assignment
A
narrative
is a specific type of essay that uses stories of particular moments to help audiences perceive, understand, and "appreciate the value of an idea" (
The Composition of Everyday Life
, Ch. 1, p. 19).
For this essay, you will write a
learning narrative
, a specific type of narrative that focuses on showing how a particular moment from your memory changed how you thought about yourself or others. The learning narrative requires you to organize your memories and decide which details best show an audience how the events from your past affected you. A learning narrative is broader than a "literacy narrative": while you can write about how language or education changed your life, you also can write about other things you learned through music, sports, business, or in any other relevant setting.
In order to write a strong, focused narrative, you will need to be attentive to the following expectations for the essay:
Find the significance:
Think of how your narrative connects your memories to feelings / concepts others have experienced
Tell a particular story:
Like Keller and Zimmer, choose a single moment or event that can reflect your process of learning
Choose relevant details:
Include only those details that contribute to the significance
Narrate and describe:
Add emotional weight and interest to your story by narrating events with dialogue, action, description, and sensory experiences
Caution
: Please keep in mind that writing in this class is public, and anything you write about yourself may be shared with other students and instructors. Please only write about details that you are comfortable making public within our classroom community. You should know that your teacher is required by the State of Texas

o f a Wail
H e r e ’s t h e j o u r n e y i n m i n i a t u r e .Oscar Hammerstein, not long before stomach cancer kills him,
writes the song as a duet between Marie and the Mother Abbess, for a
scene in which the plucky nun is told she’s being booted from the con
vent since she privileges melody over God. Marie doesn’t want to serve
as governess for the Von Trapp clan, but she’s already shown her hand
by giving rapturous voice to a song that summons the bliss and solace
o f secular joys. She needs to go. Although the film version of The Sound
of Music will shift “My Favorite Things” to the thunderstorm scene in
which Marie offers up raindrops on roses and warm woolen mittens as
balm to the terrified kids, John Coltrane’s classic jazz cover much more
radically revamps the Broadway hit, transfiguring mere catchiness into
complex modalities. Yet if this were simply a one-off recording, there
wouldn’t be much to say: turning cornball consolation into jazz isn’t
news. Instead, Coltrane can’t relinquish it. Instead, even throughout all
his late music-as-prayer work, he never lets go of the show tune.
“We played it every night for five years,” drummer Elvin Jones re
membered. “We played it every night like there would be no tomorrow.
Like it would be the last time we played it.” His son, Ravi Coltrane,
calculates that his father’s band played “My Favorite Things” thousands
o f times as a regular fixture in the set: “They worked a lo t— forty-five
weeks a year, six nights a week, three sets, sometimes even four sets on
the weekend. You’re talking about getting the blade as sharp as can be.”
But of all the blades to w het— especially one bedecked with ponies
and kittens— why that song in particular?
M y f i r s t e n c o u n t e r with Coltrane’s late free jazz work came from
an unlikely source: the writings o f cult rock critic Lester Bangs. At the age
o f fourteen, I stumbled upon a copy of his collected writings— Psychotic
632
Reactions and Carburetor Dung— and proceeded to treat it as less an assem
blage o f essays and music reviews than a checklist of writers and albums I
was obliged to track down if I might ever break free from my Ohio sub
urbs. The Velvet Underground, William Burroughs, Iggy and the Stooges’
Metallic K.O. (a live album in which you can hear beer bottles shattering
against guitar strings), and even Baudelaire all first came tumbling my
way through the same careening chute of Bangs’s writing. His claim that
Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks was fueled by many lifetimes o f wisdom
lured me into transcribing the entirety o f the album’s lyrics in my algebra
notebook, and the visible bottom edge of an Undertones poster in his
author photograph led me, without having heard a note o f the band’s
music, to bike six miles to Spin More records in Kent on a quest to
cobble together their discography.

A Cooperative Strategy for
21st Century Seapower
DRAFT/PRE-DECISIONAL - NOT FOR DISSEMINATION - 02 FEB
A COOPERATIVE STRATEGY FOR 21ST CENTURY SEAPOWER, MARCH 2015 [i]
America’s Sea Services—the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard—uniquely provide presence around the globe. During peacetime and times of conflict, across the full spectrum—from
supporting an ally with humanitarian assistance or disaster relief to
deterring or defeating an adversary in kinetic action—Sailors, Marines,
and Coast Guardsmen are deployed at sea and in far-flung posts to be
wherever we are needed, when we are needed. Coming from the sea, we
get there sooner, stay there longer, bring everything we need with us,
and we don’t have to ask anyone’s permission.
Our founders recognized the United States as a maritime nation and
the importance of maritime forces, including in our Constitution the re-
quirement that Congress “maintain a Navy.” In today’s dynamic security
environment, with multiple challenges from state and non-state actors
that are often fed by social disorder, political upheaval, and technological
advancements, that requirement is even more prescient.
The United States Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard are our
Nation’s first line of defense, often far from our shores. As such, main-
taining America’s leadership role in the world requires our Nation’s Sea
Services to return to our maritime strategy on occasion and reassess
our approach to shifting relationships and global responsibilities. This
necessary review has affirmed our focus on providing presence around
the world in order to ensure stability, build on our relationships with allies
and partners, prevent wars, and provide our Nation’s leaders with options
in times of crisis. It has confirmed our continued commitment to main-
tain the combat power necessary to deter potential adversaries and to
fight and win when required.
Our responsibility to the American people dictates an efficient use of
our fiscal resources and an approach that adapts to the evolving security
environment. The adjustments made in this document do just that. Look-
ing at how we support our people, build the right platforms, power them
to achieve efficient global capability, and develop critical partnerships
will be central to its successful execution and to providing that unique
capability: presence.
PREFACE
[ii] Forward ✦ Engaged ✦ Ready
Seapower has been and will continue to be the critical foundation of
national power and prosperity and international prestige for the United
States of America. Our Sea Services will integrate with the rest of our
national efforts, and those of our friends and allies. This revision to A
Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower builds on the heritage
and complementary capabilities of the Navy-Marine Corps-Coast Guard

Abstract
Background: Breast cancer-related arm lymphedema is a serious complication that can
adversely affect quality of life. Identifying risk factors that contribute to the development of
lymphedema is vital for identifying avenues for prevention. The aim of this study was to examine
the association between the development of arm lymphedema and both treatment and personal
(e.g., obesity) risk factors.
Methods: Women diagnosed with breast cancer in Iowa during 2004 and followed through 2010,
who met eligibility criteria, were asked to complete a short computer assisted telephone interview
about chronic conditions, arm activities, demographics, and lymphedema status. Lymphedema was
characterized by a reported physician-diagnosis, a difference between arms in the circumference
(> 2cm), or the presence of multiple self-reported arm symptoms (at least two of five major arm
symptoms, and at least four total arm symptoms). Relative risks (RR) were estimated using
logistic regression.
Results: Arm lymphedema was identified in 102 of 522 participants (19.5%). Participants treated
by both axillary dissection and radiation therapy were more likely to have arm lymphedema than
treated by either alone. Women with advanced cancer stage, positive nodes, and larger tumors
along with a body mass index > 40 were also more likely to develop lymphedema. Arm activity
level was not associated with lymphedema.

Lukas Nelson and his wife Anne and their three daughters had been living in their house for over five years when they decided it was time to make some modest improvements. One area they both agreed needed an upgrade was the bath tub. Their current house had one standard shower bathtub combination. Lukas was 6 feet four, and could barely squeeze into it. In fact, he had taken only one bath since they moved in. He and Anne both missed soaking in the older, deep bath tubs they enjoyed when they lived back East.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

A Visual Guide to 1 Samuel | A Tale of Two Hearts
These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.
