Date due:
Friday 29th April 2016 (11.59pm QLD time)
Choose one of the following questions:
Either:
1. Today’s workforce and the nature of work itself is changing, particularly in the climate of globalisation, and the new technological revolution. As a consequence issues facing HRM are expected to change dramatically in the next decade'. Consider this statement and draw upon at least two topics from the unit to discuss what some of these challenges are and the specific competencies faced by organisations and HR professionals to support employees in the contemporary business environment.
Or,
2. Discuss some of the ways organisations, jobs and careers have changed over the past 10 years. What changes do you anticipate over the next 10 years? How might these changes affect the manager’s job and the skills a manager needs to be successful? Illustrate with examples from at least two topics covered in the unit.
Notes for assistance
· There is no fixed way to answer the essay topic. Students are being tested on their capacity to think critically and integrate their learning gained in lectures and through their readings and experience.
· ‘Discuss’ means you need to think about and write about the different possibilities before you present a point of view. This is likely to need both description and interpretation.
· Opinion must be supported by carefully selected and authoritative evidence.
· Students are expected to use at least 10 refereed journal articles in writing their essay.
A peer-reviewed or refereed journal is a scholarly journal that requires submitted articles to be subjected to a process of critical review by experts on the subject, known as referees, before determining if the article is to be accepted for publication.
Note: not every academic or scholarly journal is refereed or peer-reviewed.
Be aware: not all articles contained in a refereed journal are peer-reviewed!
As a rule of thumb, editorials, short items, book reviews and letters to the editor are not peer reviewed. Brief commentaries, short communications and conference papers are not peer-reviewed either.
· Remember to arrive at a conclusion.
Essay Structure
An academic essay aims to persuade readers of an idea based on evidence.
· An academic essay should answer a question or task.
· It should have a thesis statement (answer to the question) and an argument.
· It should try to present or discuss something: develop a thesis via a set of closely related points by reasoning and evidence.
· An academic essay should include relevant examples, supporting evidence and information from academic texts or credible sources.
Basic steps in writing an essay
Although there are some basic steps to writing an assignment, essay writing is not a linear process. You might work through the different stages a number of times in the course ...
Following the Topic Selection Guidelines below, choose an argumentat.docx
Following the Topic Selection Guidelines below, choose an argumentative topic to research. This will be your topic throughout the entire course, so the activities required for this assignment will provide the foundation for your future Touchstones. The topic for an argumentative research paper must be a debatable topic, meaning that it involves conflicting viewpoints. Additionally, it cannot be a topic that is already decided or agreed upon by most of society. You will need to take a firm position on the topic and use evidence and logic to support the position. Touchstone 1.2 includes a research question, a working thesis, a detailed outline, and a reflection on this pre-writing process.
A. Topic Selection Guidelines
DIRECTIONS:
You may choose any topic you wish as long as the topic has two clear sides and is not agreed upon by most of society. Your topic should be current, appropriate for an academic context and should have a focus suitable for a 6-8 page essay.
B. Research Guidelines
DIRECTIONS:
Refer to the list below throughout the writing process. Do not submit your Touchstone until it meets these guidelines.
1. Research Question and Working Thesis
Keep in mind:
The research question and working thesis are the driving force behind your research and eventual argument.
❒ Your research question should be a single sentence, framed as a question.
❒ Your working thesis should be a single focused sentence, framed as a statement that takes a clear position on the research question.
❒ Include your research question followed by your working thesis.
2. Detailed Outline
Keep in mind:
Your detailed outline provides a map of the argumentative research essay that you will write, including your key claims and the sources that support them. You may not have all your sources yet, and that is fine. The outline is a way to organize your essay and determine which areas (e.g. your sub-points) will require researched evidence as support.
❒ Headings: one for each paragraph with a brief label of the paragraph’s controlling idea(s); at least 7 body paragraphs, an introduction, and a conclusion
❒ Introduction includes your working thesis.
❒ Body paragraphs should each have their own unique title and key points.
❒ Conclusion includes notes on your final thoughts.
❒ Subheadings: two to five for each paragraph, below each heading, indicating key points that support the controlling idea
❒ Sources: one to three for each subheading, as relevant, indicating the support for the key point
❒ For each source, include the author’s name and the idea or information relevant to your argument (e.g. “Lappé on mono-cropping corn/soy and production”).
3. Reflection
❒ Have you displayed a clear understanding of the research activities?
❒ Have you answered all reflection questions thoughtfully and included insights, observations, and/or examples in all responses?
❒ Are your answers included on a separate page below the main assignment?

Intercultural Concept Analysis Paper Due as noted in Learn b.docx
Intercultural Concept Analysis Paper
Due as noted in Learn by 11:59 pm
This paper will be your opportunity to discuss your understanding of class readings, concepts,
and discussions. The purpose of this paper is to help you synthesize and analyze different ideas
and concepts, not just summarize them. The first step is to select a specific topic or concept to
explore. Then, chose one of the articles assigned this semester that discusses that concept. Next,
fine two academic articles in the field of communication that also discusses this concept. I
recommend using the EBSCO host search for the Communication & Mass Media Complete
database through the Cline’s website. After reading your independently selected articles, you will
write a 4-5 page paper.
• You may want to begin your search by consulting the following journals: Journal of
International & Intercultural Communication; Communication and Critical/Cultural
Studies; Communication, Culture & Critique
Start by offering a clear definition of the concept under discussion as defined by the authors’ of
the articles you have selected. This is your chance to move beyond using a dictionary for
definition, look at the course reading and academic journal articles and see how the author define
the concept. They may not spell it out completely, you may have to read between the lines and
paraphrase their definition.
You will be graded on your engagement of the material and your grasp of the concept discussed
in class. Use the same process that you have been practicing in the collaborative reading
assignments. How do the three articles discuss the same concept: do they agree with each other,
do they approach the concepts differently (disagree with each), does one of the articles
complicate or expand the discussion of the concept? These are all elements that can be addressed
in this paper.
Draw on the readings in a thoughtful, meaningful manner. Use direct quotes sparingly, a quote
should be used to support what conclusion you draw, not replace your own voice. This is not
about your opinion but building an argument. Provide academic evidence to support your point.
As such, this paper should be written in third person rather than using “I” or “we”. Be sure to
provide page numbers for direct quotes in addition to author(s) last name and year of publication
for all citations. Include a references page for any reading or text mentioned in your article.
Formatting
• 1-inch margins all the way around.
• Double-spaced, no extra spacing between paragraphs.
• 12 pt. font, Times New Roman
• APA format for in-text citations and references at end of paper.
Use APA style to cite and reference readings. Assistance on APA format is available through the
Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL): http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/
Recommendations and Tips
• Be sure to proofread your answers carefully, spelling and grammar count.
• Aim for 2.5 paragraphs fo.

ENT3103 - Article review (10%) of Assessment 1
An article review format allows scholars or students to analyze and evaluate the work of other experts in a given field. Outside of the education system, experts often review the work of their peers for clarity, originality, and contribution to the discipline of study.
That is a professional paper writing which demands a high level of in-depth analysis and a well-structured presentation of arguments. It is a critical, constructive evaluation of literature in a particular field through summary, classification, analysis, and comparison.
Students should present a clear understanding of the topic you’ve been working on.
The purpose of this writing exercise is for you to learn to seek out information and to write an evaluative review of a journal article.
Writing Involves:
· Summarization, classification, analysis, critiques, and comparison.
· The analysis, evaluation, and comparison require use theories, ideas, and research, relevant to the subject area of the article.
· As you progress with reading your article, organize your thoughts into coherent sections in an outline. As you read, jot down important facts, contributions, or contradictions. Identify the shortcomings and strengths of your publication. Begin to map your outline accordingly.
· Outline your review: Look at your summary to see if the author was clear about each of them. Mark the points that could use some improvement, as well as the ones where the author was clear and accurate and where s/he pointed out something innovative. Then put together the lists of strong points and drawbacks and summarize them. For example, a strong point may be the introduction of new information, and a drawback may be the lack of accuracy in representing the existing knowledge on the topic. Add these outcomes to your study and back them up with evidence from the text of the article.
Answering these questions should facilitate your outline writing:
· What was the goal of the article?
· What theories does the author dwell upon?
· Is the author clear with definitions?
· Is the supportive evidence relevant?
· What is the place of the article in its field of knowledge?
· Does it contribute to the progress in this field?
· Does the author convey his or her thoughts clearly
Using the APA Format
· Web: Author [last name], A.A [first and middle initial]. (Year, Month Date of Publication). Title. Retrieved from {link}
· Journal: Author [last name], A.A [first and middle initial]. (Publication Year). Publication Title. Periodical Title, Volume (Issue), pp.-pp.
· Newspaper: Author [last name], A.A [first and middle initial]. (Year, Month Date of Publication). Publication Title. Magazine Title, pp. xx-xx.
Structure of Article review:
· Make sure your Article Review has a title
· Start with an introduction that mentions the article for the review.
· Follows with a summary of the main points of the article.
· Highlights the positive aspects and facts presented in the pu ...

WRITING 4.0 Documented Inquiry Project Novel Analysis E.docx
WRITING 4.0: Documented Inquiry Project: Novel Analysis
English 1302
Spring 2015
Synopsis of the Task.
As noted on the assignment sheet for Writing #3.0, your fourth project of the term is your
documented study: a paper that centers on a question worthy of academic research. This
particular paper will focus on analysis of a novel that you selected. The paper will be six to
eight pages (double spaced) long, not counting the abstract, annotated bibliography, (see
“Ancillaries” below) or your works cited page.
There is no one way you are required to analyze your novel, but the research paper must contain
some kind of analysis, and that analysis should be the focal point of paper. This analysis could
critical, evaluative, comparative, or some combination thereof. As long as it is analysis based on
evidence both from the text itself and outside academic sources, it will work for the paper. You
may wish to use one or more of the modes of literary criticism that we have discussed in class.
Keep in mind, plot synopsis may be part of the paper, but it can take up no more than a
paragraph in the paper if you use a dedicated plot synopsis section. Any paper that is mostly plot
synopsis, or simply a report of information gathered about the novel, can receive a grade no
higher than a 70.
Ancillaries.
Besides the text itself, you will create an annotated bibliography based on the tentative list
of works to be used you wrote for Writing 3.0, and you will also create an abstract, which
should be about one paragraph in length. The rough drafts of the annotated bibliography and
the abstract will be revised into a final draft for this paper. The annotated bibliography
and abstract are required parts of this assignment.
Other things will also be due along the way the rest of the semester: notes for me to check,
revisions, and an oral presentation of your final paper to the class. Each of these is part of the
entire assignment; without them, your final grade for Writing 4.0 will suffer.
Format.
The paper should be typed or word-processed, double spaced, and can include headings. For any
other questions about using tables or surveys, please consult the writing center, any of the MLA
help websites we have discussed, our textbooks, or myself. Page numbers are required for
this paper, and should be placed in the upper right hand corner of each page.
Documentation and Sources.
Once again, MLA will be the citation system that you use for this assignment. As far as numbers
of sources to consider for a paper of this length, 6-8 reputable, academic sources would be
appropriate. Direct use of Wikipedia as a source will not be permitted. Sites such as
About.com, Sparknotes, Shmoop, and other “homework/study” sites will not be permitted.
General dictionaries and encyclopedias will also not be permitted.

Literature Review Instructions
What Is a Literature Review?
A literature review is a survey and a discussion of the literature in a given area of study. It is a concise overview of what has been studied, argued, and established about a topic; it is generally organized chronologically or thematically. A literature review is also written in essay format.
A literature review is not an annotated bibliography because it groups related works together and discusses trends and developments rather than focusing on one item at a time. It is also not a summary; rather, a literature review evaluates previous and current research in regards to how relevant and/or useful it is and how it relates to your own research. Therefore, a literature review is more than an annotated bibliography or a summary because you are organizing and presenting your sources in terms of their overall relationship to your problem statement.
A literature review is written to highlight specific arguments and ideas in a field of study. By highlighting these arguments, the writer attempts to show what has been studied in the field and also where there are weaknesses, ga.

Compare and Contrast Essay AssignmentA Compare and Contrast essa
Compare and Contrast Essay Assignment
A Compare and Contrast essay explores the similarities and differences between two or more items, ideas, topics, trends, works, etc. When we compare, we point out the similarities between two items, and when we contrast, we show their differences. In fact, Compare and Contrast is one of the main rhetorical strategies that writers use to develop ideas and support their arguments.
For this assignment, you will write a Compare and Contrast essay in which you will
explore the similarities and differences between two of the following topics:
1. Generation Z vs. Millennials
2. Generation Z vs. Generation X
3. How Generation Z is perceived vs How Generation Z really is according to you
The American Family Then and Now
1. Compare and Contrast the way and times in which you were raised to that of children today. Do you think that your parent’s were more strict or concerned than today’s parents? Do you think that kids today expect too much? Provide specific examples as to how kids today are being raised similarly and differently than you.
2. How has the role of the woman changed in the family? Is this change good for families? How has the emergence of women in the workforce and their becoming "bread winners" affected the family?
3. As I look at the male figures in my own family, I can see that the role of the male has changed in two generations. My grandfather, for example, has never changed a diaper or cooked a meal in fifty-two years of marriage, yet I do these two things often. In your own family, how has the role of your gender changed in the last two generations. While the changes are probably many, there are still some things that have probably stayed the same. In considering this topic, be sure to include some of the things that are similar regarding the role of your gender in your family structure.
4. More and more couples are choosing not to be married. How and why is this different from the past? Why are people not getting married? How does the affect the family?
5. Non-traditional families are becoming the new normal in the United States. Discuss and compare the traditional family and non-traditional families.
Your purpose for this essay will be to simply inform your audience on their similarities and differences, on the relative merits of the items discussed, and establish the significance of this comparison and contrast. This last point will be expressed in the thesis of your essay which will also strengthen your essay and clarify its purpose.
Process
The first thing you want to do is brainstorm everything you know about each topic, research both of them, go back and look for connections that show similarities and differences, and then develop your thesis. Remember to select only those aspects that are explicitly comparable or contrastable. After you have formulated your thesis statement, established your basis of comparison, and selected your points for discussion, you are ready to organ ...

LECTURE 2
Introduction
Learning to communicate appropriately and effectively in a variety of settings and in a variety of formats is an important skill in both academic and professional environments. In an online learning environment, learning to communicate effectively through writing is particularly important because it is, by far, how the majority of communication occurs. Review the learning objectives for this module within the course syllabus and use the following lecture, which is about various forms of written communication used in the online graduate setting, to accomplish them.
Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing the ideas of others is a requirement in academic writing and graduate study. Paraphrasing is using your own words to restate ideas or information from a source material. Paraphrasing will help you grasp the full meaning of the source material and allow you to appropriately reference the source material to support your own ideas and academic writing. Paraphrased material is usually shorter and more concise than the original information. The following are some common guidelines taken from the Purdue Online Writing Lab (2012), which may assist you with learning to paraphrase information gathered from reading materials for use in completing your coursework.
Reread the original passage until you understand its full meaning.
Set the original passage aside and, on a note card, write what you think the passage means in your own words (paraphrase).
Jot down a few words below your paraphrase to remind you later of how you plan to use the information. At the top of the note card, write a key word or phrase to indicate the subject of your paraphrase.
Compare your paraphrase with the original to make sure that your version accurately expresses all the essential information.
Use quotation marks to identify any unique term or phrase you copied exactly from the original source.
Record the source (including the page) on your note card so that you can cite it easily if you decide to incorporate the material into a paper or discussion question response.
The following is an example of paraphrasing (Purdue OWL, 2012), which i.

For this assignment only, there is no draft option. You should simply submit your required final copy whenever you are ready. This assignment is designed to inform your larger research project.
Additional helpful resources:
Summary Exercise Rubric | Summary Exercise Sample 1 | Summary Exercise Sample 2
Option #1: Investigate and Interview
You have already chosen a topic and created a working thesis statement for your research paper topic. Find a non-profit organization (e.g., one that provides literacy instruction, a support group for cancer patients, a shelter that provides refuge for battered women) in your city that is connected to your topic. For example, if you are researching services for blind people, you might interview someone at the National Federation of the Blind.
Explain your assignment and request an interview with a staff member who is considered an expert in the field. Create 10 to 20 questions related to your thesis statement to ask the interviewee. For the writing assignment (Note that you should be conducting this interview yourself. You should not be summarizing an interview that someone else conducted):
· Create an introduction that includes the interviewee’s background. What is his/ her name? What is his/her position? How long has your interviewee worked at this organization, and what is his/her role there? These are just some of the questions that you can ask to help you build your introductory paragraph.
· Summarize the interviewee's responses in approximately three cohesive body paragraphs.
· Finish with a concluding paragraph that explains how this interview helped you better understand your chosen research paper topic.
Option #2: Getting What you Need from Periodicals
Locate credible sources for your chosen topic of the research paper project. Find at least five relevant sources from periodicals (Please do not use basic informative website such as ehow or Wikipedia. The source you choose will ideally be an academic or research-based article). From the sources that you find, choose one to summarize. The source you choose should be a credible periodical and not merely a random website. Also keep in mind that your chosen source should be research-based and non-fiction. For example, you should not summarize a short story for this assignment. Choose a source such as a journal article, an essay in an anthology, a magazine article, or a newspaper article. For this option, you might use this as a guideline for crafting your thesis statement: John Smith’s book The Guiding Light explained (add first paragraph focus), (add second paragraph focus), and (add third paragraph focus).

Required to do a 10-15 minute PowerPoint presentation on a case stud.docx
Required to do a 10-15 minute PowerPoint presentation on a case study based on one of the disorders discussed in the textbook.
The task is to present a comprehensive analysis of the case which includes identifying information, symptoms and problems, hypotheses regarding the presenting problem, a multi-axial diagnosis (along with disorders that were ruled-out), the type of treatment (therapy and/or medication) the client should receive, and relevant cultural considerations. In addition, the presenters should include a slide that lists additional questions that would help to treat the client and/or that would provide clarity regarding the presenting problem.
Students will be graded on correct diagnosis(es) for each axis, including principle, deferred and/or differential, whether each diagnosis or lack of a diagnosis was clearly justified based on clinical criteria, and if important features of the client’s symptoms/behaviors were clearly identified and insightfully analyzed. The presentation will also be graded for content, quality of presentation, presentation skills (e.g., level of comfort, knowledge of subject, etc.), and number of errors in mechanics, usage, grammar, and spelling. Breakdown of points as follows:
40 Points – Analysis of case
30 Points – Clarity, organization, and comprehensiveness
30 Points – Grammar, punctuation, and spelling
Differential diagnosis
refers to all of the diagnostic categories that you seriously considered during the diagnostic process. Because the symptoms present in the case study suggest the possibility of several disorders, a thorough discussion of disorders that you excluded is warranted. In other words, you should discuss why you assigned the diagnoses that you did and why you ruled out others.
Multi-axial Diagnosis Format
You can have multiple diagnoses on any axis. It is also possible that there is no diagnosis on an axis. List every diagnosis for which the diagnostic criteria are met. When no diagnosis exists for a particular axis, “No Diagnosis” is entered on the line. The first diagnosis listed on Axis I is assumed to be the principal diagnosis unless otherwise specified. If the principal diagnosis is a Personality Disorder or Mental Retardation, it should be listed on Axis II, labeled as the “Principal Diagnosis” in parentheses.
Axis I:
Includes all of the disorders we will cover in class, with the exception of Personality Disorders and Mental Retardation.
Axis II:
Includes only Personality Disorders and Mental Retardation
Axis III:
Includes general medical conditions that are relevant to Axis I and Axis II diagnoses.
Axis IV:
Includes a listing of any relevant psychosocial and environmental problems or stressors.
Axis V:
Includes a numerical rating of current functioning, and occasionally highest functioning over the past year, on a scale of 0 to 100. (Use chart below)

1.6 Writing a Research Proposal
After reviewing the literature and putting considerable thought into planning a study, the next step is to prepare a research proposal. The goalof any research proposal is to present a detailed description about the research problem and the methods with which you think that theresearch should be conducted. Research proposals are extremely important because they are key to unlocking the research project (Leedy &Ormrod, 2010). They may determine whether you receive approval or funding, so they need to clearly articulate the purpose of the researchand persuade the audience it is worthwhile. If research proposals do not clearly and specifically define the research problem and methods, theproject might not be accepted. Therefore, it is imperative that the research proposal include "a clearly conceived goal and thorough, objectiveevaluation of all aspects of the research endeavor" (Leedy & Ormrod, 2010, p. 117).
Research proposals can range from three pages for some grant applications to more than 30 pages (e.g., for a dissertation or federal grant).They may or may not require an abstract and will have a different format for institutional review board (IRB) approval (see Section 1.7, Ethics inResearch). For our purposes, in general, research proposals follow a standard format. The following is an example you might use:
1. Title/Cover Page
2. Abstract
3. Introduction or Statement of the Problem
a. The research problem
b. The statement of the problem and possible subproblems
c. The purpose statement
d. Hypotheses and/or research questions
e. Independent and dependent variables
f. The assumptions
g. The importance of the study
4. Review of the Literature
5. Method
a. Research methodology
b. Participants and participant selection
c. Data collection procedures
d. Data analysis techniques
6. Discussion
a. Strengths and limitations
b. Ethical considerations
7. References
8. Appendixes
Research proposals are written like research articles in APA style, which is favored in academia. The language must be clear and precise, inparagraph format, and written in a professional, academic manner. Unlike stories or memoirs, proposals are not intended to be creative literaryworks; rather, they should set down certain facts. Organized with headings and subheadings, the proposal should clearly and specifically explainthe research problem, who the participants will be and how they will be selected, what data collection methods will be used, and how the datawill be analyzed and interpreted. Research proposals are require.

There is no one way you are required to analyze your novel, but the research paper must contain
some kind of analysis, and that analysis should be the focal point of paper. This analysis could
critical, evaluative, comparative, or some combination thereof. As long as it is analysis based on
evidence both from the text itself and outside academic sources, it will work for the paper. You
may wish to use one or more of the modes of literary criticism that we have discussed in class.
Keep in mind, plot synopsis may be part of the paper, but it can take up no more than a
paragraph in the paper if you use a dedicated plot synopsis section. Any paper that is mostly plot
synopsis, or simply a report of information gathered about the novel, can receive a grade no
higher than a 70.
Ancillaries.
Besides the text itself, you will create an annotated bibliography based on the tentative list
of works to be used you wrote for Writing 3.0, and you will also create an abstract, which
should be about one paragraph in length. The rough drafts of the annotated bibliography and
the abstract will be revised into a final draft for this paper. The annotated bibliography
and abstract are required parts of this assignment.
Other things will also be due along the way the rest of the semester: notes for me to check,
revisions, and an oral presentation of your final paper to the class. Each of these is part of the
entire assignment; without them, your final grade for Writing 4.0 will suffer.
Format.
The paper should be typed or word-processed, double spaced, and can include headings. For any
other questions about using tables or surveys, please consult the writing center, any of the MLA
help websites we have discussed, our textbooks, or myself. Page numbers are required for
this paper, and should be placed in the upper right hand corner of each page.
Documentation and Sources.
Once again, MLA will be the citation system that you use for this assignment. As far as numbers
of sources to consider for a paper of this length, 6-8 reputable, academic sources would be
appropriate. Direct use of Wikipedia as a source will not be permitted. Sites such as
About.com, Sparknotes, Shmoop, and other “homework/study” sites will not be permitted.
General dictionaries and encyclopedias will also not be permitted.

Literature Review Instructions
What Is a Literature Review?
A literature review is a survey and a discussion of the literature in a given area of study. It is a concise overview of what has been studied, argued, and established about a topic; it is generally organized chronologically or thematically. A literature review is also written in essay format.
A literature review is not an annotated bibliography because it groups related works together and discusses trends and developments rather than focusing on one item at a time. It is also not a summary; rather, a literature review evaluates previous and current research in regards to how relevant and/or useful it is and how it relates to your own research. Therefore, a literature review is more than an annotated bibliography or a summary because you are organizing and presenting your sources in terms of their overall relationship to your problem statement.
A literature review is written to highlight specific arguments and ideas in a field of study. By highlighting these arguments, the writer attempts to show what has been studied in the field and also where there are weaknesses, ga.

Compare and Contrast Essay AssignmentA Compare and Contrast essa
Compare and Contrast Essay Assignment
A Compare and Contrast essay explores the similarities and differences between two or more items, ideas, topics, trends, works, etc. When we compare, we point out the similarities between two items, and when we contrast, we show their differences. In fact, Compare and Contrast is one of the main rhetorical strategies that writers use to develop ideas and support their arguments.
For this assignment, you will write a Compare and Contrast essay in which you will
explore the similarities and differences between two of the following topics:
1. Generation Z vs. Millennials
2. Generation Z vs. Generation X
3. How Generation Z is perceived vs How Generation Z really is according to you
The American Family Then and Now
1. Compare and Contrast the way and times in which you were raised to that of children today. Do you think that your parent’s were more strict or concerned than today’s parents? Do you think that kids today expect too much? Provide specific examples as to how kids today are being raised similarly and differently than you.
2. How has the role of the woman changed in the family? Is this change good for families? How has the emergence of women in the workforce and their becoming "bread winners" affected the family?
3. As I look at the male figures in my own family, I can see that the role of the male has changed in two generations. My grandfather, for example, has never changed a diaper or cooked a meal in fifty-two years of marriage, yet I do these two things often. In your own family, how has the role of your gender changed in the last two generations. While the changes are probably many, there are still some things that have probably stayed the same. In considering this topic, be sure to include some of the things that are similar regarding the role of your gender in your family structure.
4. More and more couples are choosing not to be married. How and why is this different from the past? Why are people not getting married? How does the affect the family?
5. Non-traditional families are becoming the new normal in the United States. Discuss and compare the traditional family and non-traditional families.
Your purpose for this essay will be to simply inform your audience on their similarities and differences, on the relative merits of the items discussed, and establish the significance of this comparison and contrast. This last point will be expressed in the thesis of your essay which will also strengthen your essay and clarify its purpose.
Process
The first thing you want to do is brainstorm everything you know about each topic, research both of them, go back and look for connections that show similarities and differences, and then develop your thesis. Remember to select only those aspects that are explicitly comparable or contrastable. After you have formulated your thesis statement, established your basis of comparison, and selected your points for discussion, you are ready to organ ...

LECTURE 2
Introduction
Learning to communicate appropriately and effectively in a variety of settings and in a variety of formats is an important skill in both academic and professional environments. In an online learning environment, learning to communicate effectively through writing is particularly important because it is, by far, how the majority of communication occurs. Review the learning objectives for this module within the course syllabus and use the following lecture, which is about various forms of written communication used in the online graduate setting, to accomplish them.
Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing the ideas of others is a requirement in academic writing and graduate study. Paraphrasing is using your own words to restate ideas or information from a source material. Paraphrasing will help you grasp the full meaning of the source material and allow you to appropriately reference the source material to support your own ideas and academic writing. Paraphrased material is usually shorter and more concise than the original information. The following are some common guidelines taken from the Purdue Online Writing Lab (2012), which may assist you with learning to paraphrase information gathered from reading materials for use in completing your coursework.
Reread the original passage until you understand its full meaning.
Set the original passage aside and, on a note card, write what you think the passage means in your own words (paraphrase).
Jot down a few words below your paraphrase to remind you later of how you plan to use the information. At the top of the note card, write a key word or phrase to indicate the subject of your paraphrase.
Compare your paraphrase with the original to make sure that your version accurately expresses all the essential information.
Use quotation marks to identify any unique term or phrase you copied exactly from the original source.
Record the source (including the page) on your note card so that you can cite it easily if you decide to incorporate the material into a paper or discussion question response.
The following is an example of paraphrasing (Purdue OWL, 2012), which i.

For this assignment only, there is no draft option. You should simply submit your required final copy whenever you are ready. This assignment is designed to inform your larger research project.
Additional helpful resources:
Summary Exercise Rubric | Summary Exercise Sample 1 | Summary Exercise Sample 2
Option #1: Investigate and Interview
You have already chosen a topic and created a working thesis statement for your research paper topic. Find a non-profit organization (e.g., one that provides literacy instruction, a support group for cancer patients, a shelter that provides refuge for battered women) in your city that is connected to your topic. For example, if you are researching services for blind people, you might interview someone at the National Federation of the Blind.
Explain your assignment and request an interview with a staff member who is considered an expert in the field. Create 10 to 20 questions related to your thesis statement to ask the interviewee. For the writing assignment (Note that you should be conducting this interview yourself. You should not be summarizing an interview that someone else conducted):
· Create an introduction that includes the interviewee’s background. What is his/ her name? What is his/her position? How long has your interviewee worked at this organization, and what is his/her role there? These are just some of the questions that you can ask to help you build your introductory paragraph.
· Summarize the interviewee's responses in approximately three cohesive body paragraphs.
· Finish with a concluding paragraph that explains how this interview helped you better understand your chosen research paper topic.
Option #2: Getting What you Need from Periodicals
Locate credible sources for your chosen topic of the research paper project. Find at least five relevant sources from periodicals (Please do not use basic informative website such as ehow or Wikipedia. The source you choose will ideally be an academic or research-based article). From the sources that you find, choose one to summarize. The source you choose should be a credible periodical and not merely a random website. Also keep in mind that your chosen source should be research-based and non-fiction. For example, you should not summarize a short story for this assignment. Choose a source such as a journal article, an essay in an anthology, a magazine article, or a newspaper article. For this option, you might use this as a guideline for crafting your thesis statement: John Smith’s book The Guiding Light explained (add first paragraph focus), (add second paragraph focus), and (add third paragraph focus).
Here are some possible places to search for good sources:
· Internet Public Library: http://www.ipl.org/
· Google Scholar: http://scholar.google.com/ (note that this is different from regular Google)

Required to do a 10-15 minute PowerPoint presentation on a case stud.docx
Required to do a 10-15 minute PowerPoint presentation on a case study based on one of the disorders discussed in the textbook.
The task is to present a comprehensive analysis of the case which includes identifying information, symptoms and problems, hypotheses regarding the presenting problem, a multi-axial diagnosis (along with disorders that were ruled-out), the type of treatment (therapy and/or medication) the client should receive, and relevant cultural considerations. In addition, the presenters should include a slide that lists additional questions that would help to treat the client and/or that would provide clarity regarding the presenting problem.
Students will be graded on correct diagnosis(es) for each axis, including principle, deferred and/or differential, whether each diagnosis or lack of a diagnosis was clearly justified based on clinical criteria, and if important features of the client’s symptoms/behaviors were clearly identified and insightfully analyzed. The presentation will also be graded for content, quality of presentation, presentation skills (e.g., level of comfort, knowledge of subject, etc.), and number of errors in mechanics, usage, grammar, and spelling. Breakdown of points as follows:
40 Points – Analysis of case
30 Points – Clarity, organization, and comprehensiveness
30 Points – Grammar, punctuation, and spelling
Differential diagnosis
refers to all of the diagnostic categories that you seriously considered during the diagnostic process. Because the symptoms present in the case study suggest the possibility of several disorders, a thorough discussion of disorders that you excluded is warranted. In other words, you should discuss why you assigned the diagnoses that you did and why you ruled out others.
Multi-axial Diagnosis Format
You can have multiple diagnoses on any axis. It is also possible that there is no diagnosis on an axis. List every diagnosis for which the diagnostic criteria are met. When no diagnosis exists for a particular axis, “No Diagnosis” is entered on the line. The first diagnosis listed on Axis I is assumed to be the principal diagnosis unless otherwise specified. If the principal diagnosis is a Personality Disorder or Mental Retardation, it should be listed on Axis II, labeled as the “Principal Diagnosis” in parentheses.
Axis I:
Includes all of the disorders we will cover in class, with the exception of Personality Disorders and Mental Retardation.
Axis II:
Includes only Personality Disorders and Mental Retardation
Axis III:
Includes general medical conditions that are relevant to Axis I and Axis II diagnoses.
Axis IV:
Includes a listing of any relevant psychosocial and environmental problems or stressors.
Axis V:
Includes a numerical rating of current functioning, and occasionally highest functioning over the past year, on a scale of 0 to 100. (Use chart below)

1.6 Writing a Research Proposal
After reviewing the literature and putting considerable thought into planning a study, the next step is to prepare a research proposal. The goalof any research proposal is to present a detailed description about the research problem and the methods with which you think that theresearch should be conducted. Research proposals are extremely important because they are key to unlocking the research project (Leedy &Ormrod, 2010). They may determine whether you receive approval or funding, so they need to clearly articulate the purpose of the researchand persuade the audience it is worthwhile. If research proposals do not clearly and specifically define the research problem and methods, theproject might not be accepted. Therefore, it is imperative that the research proposal include "a clearly conceived goal and thorough, objectiveevaluation of all aspects of the research endeavor" (Leedy & Ormrod, 2010, p. 117).
Research proposals can range from three pages for some grant applications to more than 30 pages (e.g., for a dissertation or federal grant).They may or may not require an abstract and will have a different format for institutional review board (IRB) approval (see Section 1.7, Ethics inResearch). For our purposes, in general, research proposals follow a standard format. The following is an example you might use:
1. Title/Cover Page
2. Abstract
3. Introduction or Statement of the Problem
a. The research problem
b. The statement of the problem and possible subproblems
c. The purpose statement
d. Hypotheses and/or research questions
e. Independent and dependent variables
f. The assumptions
g. The importance of the study
4. Review of the Literature
5. Method
a. Research methodology
b. Participants and participant selection
c. Data collection procedures
d. Data analysis techniques
6. Discussion
a. Strengths and limitations
b. Ethical considerations
7. References
8. Appendixes
Research proposals are written like research articles in APA style, which is favored in academia. The language must be clear and precise, inparagraph format, and written in a professional, academic manner. Unlike stories or memoirs, proposals are not intended to be creative literaryworks; rather, they should set down certain facts. Organized with headings and subheadings, the proposal should clearly and specifically explainthe research problem, who the participants will be and how they will be selected, what data collection methods will be used, and how the datawill be analyzed and interpreted. Research proposals are require.

Then, the conversation turns to you and your life,particularly your own dating, marital status, and fertility history. How are your experiences similar? How are they different? What economic,technological, and cultural changes have happened across those generations to shape your experiences? For example, how have cellphonesshaped dating? How has birth control changed the timing of having children? How have immigration and urbanization influenced how manychildren people have and the role children play in families?
Consider This
How can a sociological, rather than an individualistic, perspective on families benefit you and society?
In their most basic form, a family is a group of people who take responsibility for meeting each other’s needs. Whom we consider family, thebasis for our bonds, and the needs families meet, however, change over time in response to the social environment. Do you think you definefamily in the same way your great-great-grandparents did? Biological connections, living together, economic responsibility for each other, andthe law probably featured prominently in your great-great-grandparents’ understanding of family. Their definition even may haveemphasized nuclear family: parents and their children. Does yours?
How I Got Active in Sociology
Carissa Froyum
Like many of the boys in my small town growing up, my two older brothers played football when they entered fifth grade. I hadgrown up watching football—the Vikings—alongside my dad and brothers, from whom I absorbed the intricacies of I-formationsand cross-blocking. But as my brothers grew older and developed more in the game, the family devotion to football became .

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

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
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.

Required ResourcesReadreview the following resources for this a.docx
- 1. Required Resources Read/review the following resources for this activity: · Minimum of 5 scholarly sources (This includes the sources from the annotated bibliography. Additional sources may be included as appropriate.) Instructions This week you will submit your final paper. The paper should include the following: · Create your own 4-6 paragraph "dilemma” based on the controversial topic you chose in Week 3. · Summarize the dilemma. · Identify the key points of the dilemma. · Define the key terms associated with the dilemma. · Analyze the conflicts or controversies involved in the dilemma. · Provide an original point of view relative to the dilemma and the issue it signals. · Apply Kant’s Categorical Imperative to the dilemma. · Apply one other method you have encountered in lecture material and the readings. · State which of the two methods you selected you prefer and why. · Use the 5 articles from your annotated bibliography. (Additional academic scholarly research from the past 5 years can be included as well.) Include a reference page at the end of your paper in APA format that includes your bibliography with the annotations removed and any other sources used in your final paper. Paragraphs · Paragraphs are composed around topics, which naturally and organically emerge from a complex, focused, and sophisticated thesis. · Each paragraph explores one topic and one topic only.
- 2. · Topics directly relate to the thesis and are not theses in and of themselves. · The paragraph completely and fully develops and explains the topic and provides details, examples, illustrations, and quotations from research as well as from the primary texts. · Topics and paragraphs rise above commonplace thinking and summary. · Quoted material is used powerfully to support analytical points (and not as padding). · There is a graceful transition to the next paragraph. · The ideas explored are significant, substantive, and instructive. · Ideas/topics support the overarching thesis so that the paper is a unified whole, and not a concatenation of appended mini- essays. Grammar/Mechanics/Style · Grammar refers to the correct usage of Standard American English. · Mechanics refers to idiomatic conventions (capitalization of proper nouns, spelling, and punctuation). · Style refers to persuasiveness, sophistication, wit, and transcendent quality. · Sentences should be varied in length and complexity without loss of clarity or precision of meaning. · Style makes a paper a pleasure to read. Writing Requirements (APA format) · Length: 8-10 pages (not including title page or references page) · 1-inch margins · Double spaced · 12-point Times New Roman font · Title page · References page (minimum of 5 scholarly resources – remove annotations; format hanging indents) · Pagination (upper right of the page) · In-text citations correspond to full reference on a reference

Annotation Example In this article, Mezirow (2003) makes a distinction between "instrumental" and "communicative" learning. "Instrumental learning" refers to those processes which measure and gage learning, such as tests, grades, comments, quizzes, attendance records and the like. "Communicative learning," on the other hand, refers to understanding created over time between individuals in what Mezirow calls "critical-dialectical- discourse," (p. 59) which is a fancy way of saying, important conversation between 2 or more speakers. Another key idea Mezirow discusses is "transformative learning," (p. 61) which changes the mind, the heart, the values and beliefs of people so that they may act better in the world. Mezirow argues that "hungry, desperate, homeless, sick, destitute, and intimidated people obviously cannot participate fully and freely in discourse" (p. 59). On the one hand, he is right: there are some people who cannot fully engage because their crisis is so long and deep, they are prevented. But, I don't think Mezirow should make the blanket assumption that everyone in unfortunate circumstances is incapable of entering the discourse meaningfully. One thing is certain: if we gave as much attention to the non-instrumental forms of intelligence--like goodness, compassion, forgiveness, wonder, self-motivation, creativity, humor, love, and other non-measured forms of intelligence in our school curriculums, we'd see better people, actors in the world, and interested investigators than we currently have graduating high school.
