Please read the guidelines carefully. This assignment will be discussed in class.
Chapters 4 and 5 (among others) of the textbook all deal with topics relating to civil liberties
and/or civil rights. You should look over all of these chapters to make sure you haven’t missed
anything.
You may choose from the following issues for your paper (Please pick one of the following topics
below). Keep in mind, some topics such as “right to privacy” raise more than one issue (civil liberty
or civil right).
(1) 1st A (Pick: Speech, Press or Religion)
(2) 2nd A (Gun rights)
(3) 4th A (Rights of the accused)
(4) 6th A (right to trial, jury, etc.)

(6) Right to Privacy (discuss all issues—then focus on one)
(7) Gay rights (Rt. To Privacy and Same-Sex Marriage)
In this paper, you will be discussing the development of a civil liberty or civil rights based on
the reading and the research you will be conducting. You will also focus on one issue related to
the right. So you will first discuss the entire issue and then focus on one aspect or dimension of
the issue (e.g. Right to Privacy—Abortion; 8th A Cruel and Unusual Punishment—Sentencing
or Death Penalty, etc.).
Once you have chosen an issue, you will be required to discuss the following in your paper:
(I) Introduction: Introduce your topic by describing the U.S. Political Culture. What is the
dominant ideology in the U.S. political culture? (hint: liberalism) How does liberal ideology
relate to the conception of civil liberties and civil rights? Where do we find these rights in the
Constitution? How does your issue relate to the idea of civil liberties or civil rights? (check out
your lecture notes on liberalism to address this question).
In other words, discuss which constitutional issue or question the issue raises. Is it a civil
liberty? A civil right? Is it both?
Make sure to clearly state your thesis regarding the development of the issue (write your thesis
last, after you have researched your issue). Please state “my thesis is…..” in your introduction
(II) Explain the history or development of the issue you picked as put forth in the textbook
(make sure to include any pertinent/important Supreme Court decisions/national or state legislation
related to.

SPRING 2015
This midterm is designed to gage your skills at textual analysis and argumentation, as well as your
familiarity with the cultural and literary history of slavery we have explored in class thus far. Together,
the two parts of the exam challenge your abilities to critically assess the “big picture,” the “little
picture,” and their relation to each other – the little picture being your analysis and close readings of
particular passages or elements of the text(s), and the big picture being your larger claims about
slavery and slave narratives. Your exam should be typed, double-spaced, clearly labeled and stapled,
and is due at the start of class on T h u r s d a y , M a r c h 5 .
I. C L O S E R E A D I N G (35 points)
Select o n e o f t h e t h r e e passages below to analyze carefully. Your close reading should be between
1 ½ - 2 p a g e s typed, double-spaced. Identify the author and text quickly, and then explain its
significance to the text as a whole. first ID the author and text title, and quickly ID what is happening
in the passage. Then, provide a close reading that makes an argument about how the passage
functions, analyzing how and why this passage is important to the text as a whole. Your aim is to
demonstrate your familiarity with the particular text at hand and its relationship to slavery and
pertinent course concepts. contexts of the course, and your skills at close reading. Support your claim
about the relationship between passage and text by identifying and analyzing key elements of the
passage. How do specific features of the selected passage – language, rhetorical strategies, symbolism,
imagery, tone, irony, etc. – contribute to its meaning(s) and to the larger cause of abolition? Certainly,
you may (should, even) reference other parts of the text not quoted below, but your primary focus
should be on close reading of the passage you select.
1. The gentleman said my master could obtain the very best advice in Philadelphia. Which
turned out to be quite correct, though he did not receive it from physicians, but from kind
abolitionists who understood his case much better. The gentleman also said, “I reckon your
master’s father hasn’t any more such faithful and smart boys as you.” “O, yes, sir, he has,” I
replied, “lots on ’em.” Which was literally true. This seemed all he wished to know. He
thanked me, gave me a ten-cent piece, and requested me to be attentive to my good master. I
promised that I would do so, and have ever since endeavoured to keep my pledge.

Introduction Your introduction should include the following· .docxmariuse18nolet
Introduction
Your introduction should include the following:
· Background information on the topic of your essay. This includes introducing key figures or concepts, as well as providing dates and locations to place your topic in an historical context. Do not assume that your reader knows the topic or the sources that you are using. Always fully introduce your sources, historical figures, and topics.
· A thesis statement. A thesis statement is the argument that you will be proving in your paper. For example, do not make general statements such as, "Phillip II and Henry IV had many similarities and differences." A thesis is a very focused argument. A better thesis statement would be, "Henry IV and Phillip II both faced challenges to the stability of their kingdoms that developed from religious conflicts. While Henry IV was primarily concerned with domestic unrest, Phillip II faced these challenges in outlying regions of his kingdom." You can see that one is much more focused and specific in the points that it will prove in your essay. The following link provides some great information and demonstrates how to create a thesis statement:

· Historical details and examples. These are the building-blocks of your argument. You should include relevant dates, events, people, and examples to prove your thesis.
· Sources. Your writing should include references to your sources and properly formatted footnotes or in-text citations. Avoid using lengthy quotes to insert historical information the majority of your writing should be your own, not quotes. General historical information can be related in your own words. Reserve direct quotes for examples that prove your point or to briefly relate the ideas of a source. Find a way to transition between your own writing and the quote to fluidly connect the statements.
2. Conclusion
Your conclusion of your essay should do the following:
· Draw together the points that you have raised in the essay.
· Connect your points to a larger revelation about the topic that proves your thesis.
· Avoid using overly general statements or making connections to our current time, unless the essay instructions specifically ask you to make this connection. For example, if you are writing an essay on women regents in Ancient Egypt, you would not end your essay with the statements, “Women have played major political roles throughout time.

PLSC 102 Term Paper on Political Ideologies
The purpose of this assignment, according to Thomas Jefferson:
“Difference of opinion leads to inquiry, and inquiry to truth.”
Check the list on Blackboard to see which issue of the following issues you’ve been assigned.
Illegal Immigration, Stem Cell Research, Affirmative Action, or US Foreign Aid (only non-military aid).
After getting your assigned issue from the list on Blackboard, address the following in at least 6-7 typed pages. You will need to use your lecture notes on the ideological spectrum, and outside research. In addition to books and journals, the following online databases will help you locate opposing views and recent laws/court decisions: Britannica Online, the Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center, ProQuest and LexisNexis (newspaper and newsmagazine searches), and the CQ Researcher. These and other MiraCosta databases can be accessed for free at MCC libraries or at home (using your Surf password). Simply click on “Library” on the MCC website, and then click on “All Online Databases” under “Online Resources.”
You should start your research with your textbooks (check the index), Britannica Online (or another trustworthy encyclopedia), and the Opposing Viewpoints database. Then, after you have a better understanding of your issue, you can move on to other specific sources such as newspaper and journal articles, newsmagazines such as Newsweek and Time, websites for political parties and other sources.
You will need to use at least 8 different sources for your paper other than your course textbooks. At least three of your sources must be something other than websites (i.e articles, books, etc). If you can find a source in print, but you choose to get it online (like a newspaper article from LATimes.com), it does not count as a website source. All sources must be cited in the paper and listed in a separate bibliography (citation format described below).
The paper must be double-spaced, with size 12 Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and your name, class, and date in the header (not in the body of the paper – click View-->Header&Footer).

the scope of the argument – including the specific time period, geographic
area, & demographics of the group of people you’ll discuss. 2) A thesis
statement (located at the end of the introduction) in which you establish a
specific position that you will defend in the body of your essay. 3) A
detailed presentation of evidence to support your thesis derived from both
lecture & course readings, with particular emphasis on primary documents.
Each paragraph should begin with a topic sentence that advances your
argument and is supported, in the body of the paragraph, by at least one
primary source. 4) A concluding paragraph that restates your argument and
explains its significance. No bibliography is needed. However, please cite
readings in the body of your paper by indicating the editor or author’s name
and page number in the following format: (Taylor, 65). Please proofread

PLSC 102 Term Paper on Political Ideologies
The purpose of this assignment, according to Thomas Jefferson:
“Difference of opinion leads to inquiry, and inquiry to truth.”
Check the list on Blackboard to see which issue of the following issues you’ve been assigned.
Illegal Immigration, Stem Cell Research, Affirmative Action, or US Foreign Aid (only non-military aid).
After getting your assigned issue from the list on Blackboard, address the following in at least 6-7 typed pages. You will need to use your lecture notes on the ideological spectrum, and outside research. In addition to books and journals, the following online databases will help you locate opposing views and recent laws/court decisions: Britannica Online, the Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center, ProQuest and LexisNexis (newspaper and newsmagazine searches), and the CQ Researcher. These and other MiraCosta databases can be accessed for free at MCC libraries or at home (using your Surf password). Simply click on “Library” on the MCC website, and then click on “All Online Databases” under “Online Resources.”
You should start your research with your textbooks (check the index), Britannica Online (or another trustworthy encyclopedia), and the Opposing Viewpoints database. Then, after you have a better understanding of your issue, you can move on to other specific sources such as newspaper and journal articles, newsmagazines such as Newsweek and Time, websites for political parties and other sources.
You will need to use at least 8 different sources for your paper other than your course textbooks. At least three of your sources must be something other than websites (i.e articles, books, etc). If you can find a source in print, but you choose to get it online (like a newspaper article from LATimes.com), it does not count as a website source. All sources must be cited in the paper and listed in a separate bibliography (citation format described below).
The paper must be double-spaced, with size 12 Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and your name, class, and date in the header (not in the body of the paper – click View-->Header&Footer). Do not use any cover pages or folders – only a staple in the upper left corner. Your paper must be in essay format (no outlines). Do not include an introduction or conclusion. Points will be deducted for spelling and grammatical errors, and for deviations from the format described below.
Section 1: Describe how contemporary American liberals approach this issue. You will need to provide an objective, unbiased description, so that most liberals would agree with what you have written. Specifically,
a) Describe their beliefs about this issue – are they in favor, opposed? More importantly, what arguments do they give to support their position?
b) Describe the specific changes they propose to address this issue. You will need to research and describe several policies or ideas for reform, including recent laws (state and federa.
Struggle for Civil and Human RightsHuman rights are rights y.docxcpatriciarpatricia
Struggle for Civil and Human Rights
Human rights are rights you have because you are human. Civil rights are rights you have as a member of a particular society. Some civil rights are political rights to participate in government. Civil rights can be limited. For example, children have human rights like self-defense, but not the civil rights of marriage or driving or the political right of voting. As you did in the pandemic essay, you will synthesize two time periods and then compare and contrast the two periods.
Assignment directions
Read TWO of the sources from the 1950s-1970s AND TWO from the twenty-first century. Select sources which can be easily synthesized and compared; for example, discussing a particular right or a particular group of people. There are multiple documents in the Women's Liberation and Stonewall Riots websites. Your two sources cannot come from the same site. The sources are primary sources of either time period. As before, focus on the actual primary source, not an editor's introduction to it.
1. Using the two sources of the time period, synthesize the status of one or more civil and/or human rights for a particular group of people, such as African Americans or LGBTQ.
2. Using the two sources of this time period, synthesize the current status for the same right(s) and group of people.
3. Compare and contrast the differences and predict what the future will hold for the same right(s) and group of people.
Use only the information from the four sources you chose (and the Lecture Notes if needed). I want your analysis, not something you found on the Internet on the subject. Work alone.
2-4 pages, 12 point font, 1 inch margin all around, double-space. You don't need a title page or Works Cited since you are only discussing the four sources which you will identify in the first paragraph or as soon as you start discussing them. Use proper American English spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and paragraphs.

Part 1
Select a research topic area for Project 1 based on which of the following areas interests you the most. You will explore the selected topic a little later in this theme. Mark your selection in the right-hand column.
Topic
Selection
Drafting of the U.S. Constitution
x
Mao Zedong’s Rule Over China
South African Apartheid
Choose Your Own Topic (insert pre-approved topic here)
In the space below, replace the bracketed text with a short paragraph about what you already knew prior to this course about the topic you selected, based on your personal history or experiences. This may include assumptions, beliefs, or values related to the topic. Be as detailed as possible.
The drafting of the U.S. Constitution began on 5/25/1787 when the Constitutional Convention met for the first time in Pennsylvania. The Convention ended on 9/17/1787. The Constitution was made of seven articles, twenty-seven amendments, and the major Principles of Government embodied in the Constitution. It is signed eleven years after the Declaration of Independence. It is not one of the founding documents of America. This important document guaranteed basic rights for every citizen. One of the most remembered amendments is the thirteenth due to the abolish of slavery.
Part 2
Now that you have identified your topic and described what you already know about the topic, what questions do you still have about the topic? Replace the bracketed text with your answers.
Question
Response
Identify one question about the topic that you are curious about.
Why was the Constitution written?
Describe why this question matters to you personally.
It affects my right of freedom of speech and the right to vote. I can go to any church I choose. I can also own a firearm.
Describe why this question matters to society.
It dived power among the government and the states.
Identify a second question about the topic you are curious about.
Should the President of the United States have absolute power?
Describe why this question matters to you personally.
This would matters to me personally because if the President has complete control then he would have control over our electronic communications; including financial records.
Describe why this question matters to society.
The U.S. is in Danger. Insufficient government. Institutional reform is the challenge and the nation’s success in meeting it will determine out future as a nation.
Part 3
You are now ready to complete the final part of your Topic Exploration Worksheet. You have chosen a topic, posed some research questions, and are ready to start thinking about what kind of sources you will need to investigate your research questions further. Using the library guide in the Shapiro Library provided for your chosen topic, skim through the suggested resources (or find your own) and replace the bracketed text with relevant information about your research questions.

This is the week to learn as much as possible about the key theoriestrappiteboni
This is the week to learn as much as possible about the key theories in international relations, why they are important, and how if at all they are related to policymaking. Among the three most important for us this week are realism, liberalism, and constructivism, though you may discover many other important theories like dependency theory, Marxist theory, radical theory (These three theories overlap in places as do the others). It is useful this week to gain a grasp of what the theories imply or assume about the behavior of states and sometimes citizens as international actors, and also begin to understand both the usefulness and limits of theory as instruments of policymaking. Whatever sources you use, make use of the Walt article and be able to explain how you believe to what extent theory relates to policymaking. Clearly, knowing the diversity and contested nature of theories will help you answer questions related to other assignments in the course as well as the three-part question below. Whenever possible, be sure to provide examples in supporting your arguments.
Instructions
In 5-7 double spaced pages in
Turabian
format, not including additional pages for title and references, answer the following 3 prompts below separately in a single document. You may write more pages if necessary. At least 7 sources must be used and may include the course text, Bible, and scholarly articles.
What is the relationship of theory to actual policy?
Are theories pre-packaged conceptual tools policymakers then apply to the interpretation of actual events? Expressed differently, is there a 1/1 correspondence between a particular event and a theory that explains it? If so, how do we explain two ‘realist’ (or liberals or constructivists, etc.) policymakers who both call for completely opposite policies in the same case, one opting for military intervention for example, while the other prefers a policy of restraint? What does this say about the relationship between theory and actual policy?
Can you identify a particular IR theory that appeals to you as the better explanation of human behavior than others
? Or would you say that the existence of multiple theories is an indication that perhaps all of them are plausible as possible interpretations of the same or different human events? Be clear and use examples to make your case.
Consider the
structure of the US government
as reflected in the
Constitution
(i.e., institutional checks and balances, power-sharing among federal and state authority, etc.) Does this structure reflect a realist, liberal, or some other theory of human behavior? In effect, is the ‘more perfect union’ of 1787 infused with a more realist or more liberal spirit, or maybe a bit of both. Explain the possibilities concisely yet clearly with examples?

Third Essay:
Learning to Write about Difference
READING
:
Rereading America
, from chapter five:
Parrillo, “Causes of Prejudice”
Fredrickson, “Models of American Ethnic relations: A Historical Perspective”
Harris and Carbado, “Loot or Find:
Fact or Frame?”
Kaplan, “Barack Obama:
“Miles Traveled, Miles to Go”
CONTEXT
:
Making arguments in our lives usually means persuading an audience; often it means, if it is a real argument, addressing a group that is not completely open to hearing and understanding our point of view.
This assignment will address two issues:
·
Building an argument using convincing textual evidence
·
Writing in order to persuade an unsympathetic argument
THE ASSIGNMENT
:
Chapter 5 in Rereading America addresses the history and present realities of the tensions that have surrounded, and still surround, racial and ethnic differences in the United States.
We can broaden the range of this topic to include areas of class, sexual orientation, religion, gender, and political affiliation, at the least.
Each of these categories, including race, are populated by groups we could call “others”—groups that both are seen by the majority culture as being somehow “outside” and are viewed by the majority culture with a degree of suspicion.
In a four-and-a-half to five page, double-spaced, 12-point typeface essay, argue for how some of the ideas in TWO of the essays in chapter 5 of
Rereading America
apply to ONE of these groups of “others” of your choosing. Define the group carefully. Write to an audience who would doubt the validity of your topic, the book’s texts, and your argument. If you choose to write about an “other” that is defined by race or ethnicity, be specific in naming this group (e.g., Korean, or mixed-race, or Persian).
For example, I might take the arguments in Harris and Carbado’s essay and apply them to similar thought patterns I see in Orange County about people whom the majority culture in the OC might consider “others”—those out of the cultural mainstream. Perhaps I would select French people as my group of others. I could talk about how Orange Countians see French speaking people suspiciously—people who spend too much time thinking about food. This would be a fairly silly paper, but I could nonetheless choose this topic.
IMPORTANT ADVICE
: Read all four essays and the discussion board entries on the essays. Try choosing the focus of your essay by writing about ideas from the essays that strongly affect you; don’t start out with a particular group in mind. Once you have identified interesting ideas, then think about a group of “others.”
AUDIENCE
: Each of the assigned essays from
Rereading America
for this assignment are written for audiences that likely will not agree with the respective writer’s ideas. Note the following areas in both the essays you read, and in constructing your own essays:

Touchstone 1: Case Study Close Reading
ASSIGNMENT: For this Touchstone, you will select a case study of a topic in U.S. history source to read like a historian. As you learned, doing a close reading means reading the text multiple times, with a different set of questions in mind each time. You will then write and submit answers to a set of close reading questions:
Origin and context: Who wrote this text? When did they write it? What do I know about the events being discussed?
Meaning: What is the author’s main idea? What is the text generally about?
Argument: What is the author’s point of view? Are they trying to convince the reader of something? What evidence do they use to support their argument?
Skills: Is there evidence in the text of agility or problem solving skills being used? In what way(s)?
This Touchstone provides an opportunity for you to delve more deeply into a topic in U.S. history and practice thinking like a historian. It will also prepare you for later Touchstones, which ask you to research a historical question and create a presentation to help others understand how historical events can be applied to current issues. Lastly, it will develop your problem solving skills, because being a critical reader helps you to obtain and evaluate the information you need to solve problems.

The purpose of this forum is to encourage you to think through the m.docxlourapoupheq
The purpose of this forum is to encourage you to think through the major debates that occurred after the drafting of the Constitution. These are important debates both for the historic nature of the debates and for the ways in which those debates shaped the lines of political debate throughout American history.
After the Constitution was written, major debates ensued between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists over proper role, size, and scope of the government. In this assignment, you will have the opportunity to explore, explain, and analyze this debate. Refer to the significance/role of the Bill of Rights, Madison’s Federalist Paper #10, and the 9th and 10th Amendments (among other things).
What were the major arguments of the Anti-Federalists and the Federalists?
Based upon your course reading, were the Anti-Federalist or the Federalists more consistent with American political thought?
Find an example of Anti-Federalist thought in current events and find an example of Anti-Federalist thought in current events. Explain how your example represents the perspective you’re describing.

ARP Step 3: Secondary Source Integration Instruction
The Secondary Source Integration asks you to revisit your work in the Primary Source Analysis and the Annotated Bibliography. You will extend or rethink your original analytical claims and integrate secondary evidence seamlessly and effectively into your own writing.
Below you will find a list of objectives for the assignment. Be sure to follow the directions outlined in Getting Started carefully as you seek to extend the work completed in STEP 1: Primary Source Analysis.
Your work should be 4-5 pages, double-spaced, typed in 12-point font, and set to 1” margins.
Objectives:
· Identify two (2) timely, useful, credible, and relevant secondary sources from Step 2: Annotated Bibliography. Your work with these sources should help you revise and extend the work you completed in Step 1: Primary Source Analysis
· Demonstrate the ability to comprehend the central arguments of these sources
· Perform meaningful, thoughtful analysis of these secondary sources
· Assert and maintain your own critical voice rather than letting the secondary evidence speak for you
· Develop an evolving thesis to orient your analysis and source integration
· Integrate secondary sources into your analysis by paraphrasing and/or directly citing the writers’ language and ideas
· Include proper in-text citations of each source and an appropriately formatted Works Cited page using MLA guidelines
Getting Started:
Extending Your PSA
· Return to your Primary Source Analysis, look over my comments, and decide which parts you plan to focus on in your final paper. This will probably require expanding or deleting parts of your initial analysis.
· Consider each secondary source’s main argument and how it relates to, supports, complicates, or differs from the argument you plan to make in your final paper.
· The Secondary Source Integration should not simply be added onto the end of your Primary Source Analysis but rather woven in and responding to specific elements of your own analysis. I recommend that you open a new document when you begin your Secondary Source Integration. You can cut and paste from your Primary Source Analysis and Annotated Bibliography as needed.
· Choose two sources that will allow you to engage in conversation, not just sources that agree with or support your main point.
· Use the secondary evidence to extend and revise the analysis completed in Step 1: Primary Source Analysis. This is an opportunity to add new sentences to existing paragraphs, to add new paragraphs, and, in general, to revise the existing Primary Source Analysis.

CAPABILITIES AND HUMAN RIGHTS
Martha C. Nussbaum*
INTRODUCTION
W HEN governments and international agencies talk about peo-
ple's basic political and economic entitlements, they regularly
use the language of rights. When constitutions are written in the mod-
em era, and their framers wish to identify a group of particularly ur-
gent interests that deserve special protection, once again it is the
language of rights that is regularly preferred.
The language of rights has a moral resonance that makes it hard to
avoid in contemporary political discourse. But it is certainly not on
account of its theoretical and conceptual clarity that it has been pre-
ferred. There are many different ways of thinking about what a right
is, and many different definitions of "human rights."' For example,
rights are often spoken of as entitlements that belong to all human
beings simply because they are human, or as especially urgent inter-
ests of human beings as human beings that deserve protection regard-
less of where people are situated.2 Within this tradition there are
differences. The dominant tradition has typically grounded rights in
the possession of rationality and language, thus implying that non-
human animals do not have them, and that mentally impaired humans
may not have them.3 Some philosophers have maintained that senti-
ence, instead, should be the basis of rights; thus, all animals would be
rights-bearers.4 In contrast to this entire group of natural-rights theo-
rists, there are also thinkers who treat all rights as artifacts of state
action.5 The latter position would seem to imply that there are no

Introduction to Sociology – Final PaperObjective of Paper Thi.docxmariuse18nolet
Introduction to Sociology – Final Paper
Objective of Paper: This is a standard research paper based on secondary and primary sources. It should address its topic from a sociological perspective. This means that whatever topic you pick should be discussed using terminology from the readings and class discussions, should be critically examined (meaning its construction, labels, and groups should be discussed and critiqued), and should be placed in a larger context based on what we’ve read and the material we’ve discussed.
Format: The paper must be typed in Times New Roman font, size 12, double-spaced. Points will be deducted for not following these specifications. Do not use color, include images, or provide a cover page. List your name, the course name, and the term at the top of the page, then write your title, then begin the paper. Papers must be at least 6 pages (not including the reference page). Points will be deducted if papers less than 6 and exceed 9 pages.
Citation Style: All citations (to be discussed later in this document) should be in American Sociological Association (ASA) format. See this website: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/583/02/ for information on in-text citations as well as reference page formatting (you’ll have to click on a link to get to the reference page specifications). All citations must appear in the text. You cannot simply list them all at the end of the paper. If you take an idea or a quote from an author, you must cite that author in the text and include her in the reference page as well. Failure to properly cite will result in point deductions.
Layout of Paper: The paper should be divided into FIVE parts:
· Introduction: You will introduce your topic and briefly describe it. You must also tell the reader:
· Why this topic should be interesting to an average reader (e.g., why should I care about the history of the “insanity” please in US courts if I am not a lawyer?)
· Why the topic is sociological
· Literature Review: Since you are probably not the first person to research this topic, you should do some reading of past authors’ works. You should give a summary of their works and explain why it is important to be aware of their works before doing your own research on your topic. You must use a minimum of 4 sources in your literature review. Also, you may only use academic sources or government publications. Acceptable sources are: academic books, journal articles from peer-reviewed journals, and government publications. Unacceptable sources include (but are not limited to): magazines, newspapers, blogs, “.com” websites, online news articles, or non-academic books. There are two major types of literature to look for:
· Literature which covers your topic specifically
· Literature which covers a topic somewhat related to your topic, but which helps you understand your own topic. For instance, if I’m writing a paper on a specific “Doomsday Cult” in Texas, I might end up with a lot of literature.
InstructionsThis paper requires you to analyze various primary so.docxJeniceStuckeyoo
Instructions:
This paper requires you to analyze various primary source documents. You are expected to provide an original, carefully considered interpretation of these documents based on the historical context you have learned in the course thus far. As a response paper, it is appropriate for you to employ first-person language in your paper, however, in formulating your opinions, you must demonstrate a thorough understanding of the texts and create
a well-organized
3-4 page paper.
All papers must be written in 12-font size, Times New Roman, double-spaced with 1-inch margins. It MUST contain citations (either in-text or Chicago Style).
Your paper should be uploaded as a word.doc format into Canvas
.
All other formats will not be accepted.
PROMPT:
For this paper assignment, you are asked to draw from the various primary and secondary sources available
to
answer all three of the following questions:
How did the planters’ paternalism serve to justify the system of slavery? Meaning, what were the arguments used to justify the existence of slavery in the south? In particular, consider the basic points made by the proslavery defense and how they justified their point of view to both southerners and non-southern audiences.
What were the lives of slaves like (including men, women and children) in the south? Consider the different types of labor systems (gang labor, task labor), and the ways in which slaves created communities and cultures that allowed them to survive in an oppressive society.
What attempts were made to resist slavery? Consider the attempts made by slaves (including rebellions, runaway tactics, etc.) as well as the attempts made by the abolitionist movement. Were these attempts successful or not?
Collectively, you should consider the ways in which the documents that you have chosen to highlight help us to understand more about the institution of slavery and this time period in history. Papers that do not answer all 3 prompts will not score well.
SOURCES
: For this assignment you need to
use AND cite
at least 6 sources
throughout your paper
. This should include any
6
of the following sources (a combination of primary sources, secondary sources, images, and videos, which are all available to you in Canvas).
Your sources should be cited using either footnotes or in-text citations and can include a Bibliography at the end (the Bibliography is NOT part of the page limit).

Discussion 1Interpretations of Social JusticeReligious.docxtheresiarede
Discussion 1
Interpretations of Social Justice
Religious doctrine, philosophy, law, and more formalized human rights initiatives influence how people interpret social justice. While early interpretations of social justice included concepts of fairness and dignity, what constitutes social justice today remains a source of debate. Basic freedoms that are considered keystones of human rights and social justice in one region may be considered only a privilege in another. For example, according to Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment,"* and yet, some countries justify the use of torture to protect national security and interests. Differing views of human rights reflect varying interpretations of social justice with no “correct” answers.

Review the book excerpts, “ Foreword,” “Preface,” and “Part I: Human rights as the bedrock of social justice.” Pay attention to the five core notions (concepts) of human rights. Consider how the various notions (concepts) of human rights shape the idea of social justice.
Review the book excerpt, “ Before and Beyond the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.” Reflect on the evolution of human rights prior to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and consider how this impacts social justice.
Review the Interactive Map, “Social Justice Issues,” focusing on the social justice outcomes. Select two regions on the map and think about the social justice outcomes for each. Consider how you might interpret the social justice outcomes.
Think about your understanding of social justice.
Consider various interpretations of social justice from your readings and from the Interactive Map, “Social Justice Issues.” Think about one interpretation with which you agree and one with which you do not agree.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Participant observation is one type of data collection method typically done in the qualitative research paradigm. It is a widely used methodology in many disciplines, particularly cultural anthropology, less so in sociology, communication studies, human geography and social psychology. Its aim is to gain a close and intimate familiarity with a given group of individuals (such as a religious, occupational, sub cultural group, or a particular community) and their practices through an intensive involvement with people in their cultural environment, usually over an extended period of time. The method originated in the field research of social anthropologists, especially Bronisław Malinowski in Britain, the students of Franz Boas in the United States, and in the later urban research of the Chicago School of sociology.

History and development
Participant observation was used extensively by Frank Hamilton Cushing in his study of the Zuni Indians in the later part of the nineteenth century, followed by the studies of non-Western societies by people such as Bronisław Malinowski,[1]E.E. Evans-Pritchard,[2] and Margaret Mead[3] in the first half of the twentieth century. It emerged as the principal approach to ethnographicresearch by anthropologists and relied on the cultivation of personal relationships with local informants as a way of learning about a culture, involving both observing and participating in the social life of a group. By living with the cultures they studied, researchers were able to formulate first hand accounts of their lives and gain novel insights. This same method of study has also been applied to gro.

Struggle for Civil and Human RightsHuman rights are rights y.docxcpatriciarpatricia
Struggle for Civil and Human Rights
Human rights are rights you have because you are human. Civil rights are rights you have as a member of a particular society. Some civil rights are political rights to participate in government. Civil rights can be limited. For example, children have human rights like self-defense, but not the civil rights of marriage or driving or the political right of voting. As you did in the pandemic essay, you will synthesize two time periods and then compare and contrast the two periods.
Assignment directions
Read TWO of the sources from the 1950s-1970s AND TWO from the twenty-first century. Select sources which can be easily synthesized and compared; for example, discussing a particular right or a particular group of people. There are multiple documents in the Women's Liberation and Stonewall Riots websites. Your two sources cannot come from the same site. The sources are primary sources of either time period. As before, focus on the actual primary source, not an editor's introduction to it.
1. Using the two sources of the time period, synthesize the status of one or more civil and/or human rights for a particular group of people, such as African Americans or LGBTQ.
2. Using the two sources of this time period, synthesize the current status for the same right(s) and group of people.
3. Compare and contrast the differences and predict what the future will hold for the same right(s) and group of people.
Use only the information from the four sources you chose (and the Lecture Notes if needed). I want your analysis, not something you found on the Internet on the subject. Work alone.
2-4 pages, 12 point font, 1 inch margin all around, double-space. You don't need a title page or Works Cited since you are only discussing the four sources which you will identify in the first paragraph or as soon as you start discussing them. Use proper American English spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and paragraphs.

Part 1
Select a research topic area for Project 1 based on which of the following areas interests you the most. You will explore the selected topic a little later in this theme. Mark your selection in the right-hand column.
Topic
Selection
Drafting of the U.S. Constitution
x
Mao Zedong’s Rule Over China
South African Apartheid
Choose Your Own Topic (insert pre-approved topic here)
In the space below, replace the bracketed text with a short paragraph about what you already knew prior to this course about the topic you selected, based on your personal history or experiences. This may include assumptions, beliefs, or values related to the topic. Be as detailed as possible.
The drafting of the U.S. Constitution began on 5/25/1787 when the Constitutional Convention met for the first time in Pennsylvania. The Convention ended on 9/17/1787. The Constitution was made of seven articles, twenty-seven amendments, and the major Principles of Government embodied in the Constitution. It is signed eleven years after the Declaration of Independence. It is not one of the founding documents of America. This important document guaranteed basic rights for every citizen. One of the most remembered amendments is the thirteenth due to the abolish of slavery.
Part 2
Now that you have identified your topic and described what you already know about the topic, what questions do you still have about the topic? Replace the bracketed text with your answers.
Question
Response
Identify one question about the topic that you are curious about.
Why was the Constitution written?
Describe why this question matters to you personally.
It affects my right of freedom of speech and the right to vote. I can go to any church I choose. I can also own a firearm.
Describe why this question matters to society.
It dived power among the government and the states.
Identify a second question about the topic you are curious about.
Should the President of the United States have absolute power?
Describe why this question matters to you personally.
This would matters to me personally because if the President has complete control then he would have control over our electronic communications; including financial records.
Describe why this question matters to society.
The U.S. is in Danger. Insufficient government. Institutional reform is the challenge and the nation’s success in meeting it will determine out future as a nation.
Part 3
You are now ready to complete the final part of your Topic Exploration Worksheet. You have chosen a topic, posed some research questions, and are ready to start thinking about what kind of sources you will need to investigate your research questions further. Using the library guide in the Shapiro Library provided for your chosen topic, skim through the suggested resources (or find your own) and replace the bracketed text with relevant information about your research questions.

This is the week to learn as much as possible about the key theoriestrappiteboni
This is the week to learn as much as possible about the key theories in international relations, why they are important, and how if at all they are related to policymaking. Among the three most important for us this week are realism, liberalism, and constructivism, though you may discover many other important theories like dependency theory, Marxist theory, radical theory (These three theories overlap in places as do the others). It is useful this week to gain a grasp of what the theories imply or assume about the behavior of states and sometimes citizens as international actors, and also begin to understand both the usefulness and limits of theory as instruments of policymaking. Whatever sources you use, make use of the Walt article and be able to explain how you believe to what extent theory relates to policymaking. Clearly, knowing the diversity and contested nature of theories will help you answer questions related to other assignments in the course as well as the three-part question below. Whenever possible, be sure to provide examples in supporting your arguments.
Instructions
In 5-7 double spaced pages in
Turabian
format, not including additional pages for title and references, answer the following 3 prompts below separately in a single document. You may write more pages if necessary. At least 7 sources must be used and may include the course text, Bible, and scholarly articles.
What is the relationship of theory to actual policy?
Are theories pre-packaged conceptual tools policymakers then apply to the interpretation of actual events? Expressed differently, is there a 1/1 correspondence between a particular event and a theory that explains it? If so, how do we explain two ‘realist’ (or liberals or constructivists, etc.) policymakers who both call for completely opposite policies in the same case, one opting for military intervention for example, while the other prefers a policy of restraint? What does this say about the relationship between theory and actual policy?
Can you identify a particular IR theory that appeals to you as the better explanation of human behavior than others
? Or would you say that the existence of multiple theories is an indication that perhaps all of them are plausible as possible interpretations of the same or different human events? Be clear and use examples to make your case.
Consider the
structure of the US government
as reflected in the

(i.e., institutional checks and balances, power-sharing among federal and state authority, etc.) Does this structure reflect a realist, liberal, or some other theory of human behavior? In effect, is the ‘more perfect union’ of 1787 infused with a more realist or more liberal spirit, or maybe a bit of both. Explain the possibilities concisely yet clearly with examples?

Rereading America
, from chapter five:
Parrillo, “Causes of Prejudice”
Fredrickson, “Models of American Ethnic relations: A Historical Perspective”
Harris and Carbado, “Loot or Find:
Fact or Frame?”
Kaplan, “Barack Obama:
“Miles Traveled, Miles to Go”
CONTEXT
:
Making arguments in our lives usually means persuading an audience; often it means, if it is a real argument, addressing a group that is not completely open to hearing and understanding our point of view.
This assignment will address two issues:
·
Building an argument using convincing textual evidence
·
Writing in order to persuade an unsympathetic argument
THE ASSIGNMENT
:
Chapter 5 in Rereading America addresses the history and present realities of the tensions that have surrounded, and still surround, racial and ethnic differences in the United States.
We can broaden the range of this topic to include areas of class, sexual orientation, religion, gender, and political affiliation, at the least.
Each of these categories, including race, are populated by groups we could call “others”—groups that both are seen by the majority culture as being somehow “outside” and are viewed by the majority culture with a degree of suspicion.
In a four-and-a-half to five page, double-spaced, 12-point typeface essay, argue for how some of the ideas in TWO of the essays in chapter 5 of
Rereading America
apply to ONE of these groups of “others” of your choosing. Define the group carefully. Write to an audience who would doubt the validity of your topic, the book’s texts, and your argument. If you choose to write about an “other” that is defined by race or ethnicity, be specific in naming this group (e.g., Korean, or mixed-race, or Persian).
For example, I might take the arguments in Harris and Carbado’s essay and apply them to similar thought patterns I see in Orange County about people whom the majority culture in the OC might consider “others”—those out of the cultural mainstream. Perhaps I would select French people as my group of others. I could talk about how Orange Countians see French speaking people suspiciously—people who spend too much time thinking about food. This would be a fairly silly paper, but I could nonetheless choose this topic.
IMPORTANT ADVICE
: Read all four essays and the discussion board entries on the essays. Try choosing the focus of your essay by writing about ideas from the essays that strongly affect you; don’t start out with a particular group in mind. Once you have identified interesting ideas, then think about a group of “others.”
AUDIENCE
: Each of the assigned essays from
Rereading America
for this assignment are written for audiences that likely will not agree with the respective writer’s ideas. Note the following areas in both the essays you read, and in constructing your own essays:

Touchstone 1: Case Study Close Reading
ASSIGNMENT: For this Touchstone, you will select a case study of a topic in U.S. history source to read like a historian. As you learned, doing a close reading means reading the text multiple times, with a different set of questions in mind each time. You will then write and submit answers to a set of close reading questions:
Origin and context: Who wrote this text? When did they write it? What do I know about the events being discussed?
Meaning: What is the author’s main idea? What is the text generally about?
Argument: What is the author’s point of view? Are they trying to convince the reader of something? What evidence do they use to support their argument?
Skills: Is there evidence in the text of agility or problem solving skills being used? In what way(s)?
This Touchstone provides an opportunity for you to delve more deeply into a topic in U.S. history and practice thinking like a historian. It will also prepare you for later Touchstones, which ask you to research a historical question and create a presentation to help others understand how historical events can be applied to current issues. Lastly, it will develop your problem solving skills, because being a critical reader helps you to obtain and evaluate the information you need to solve problems.

The purpose of this forum is to encourage you to think through the m.docxlourapoupheq
The purpose of this forum is to encourage you to think through the major debates that occurred after the drafting of the Constitution. These are important debates both for the historic nature of the debates and for the ways in which those debates shaped the lines of political debate throughout American history.
After the Constitution was written, major debates ensued between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists over proper role, size, and scope of the government. In this assignment, you will have the opportunity to explore, explain, and analyze this debate. Refer to the significance/role of the Bill of Rights, Madison’s Federalist Paper #10, and the 9th and 10th Amendments (among other things).
What were the major arguments of the Anti-Federalists and the Federalists?
Based upon your course reading, were the Anti-Federalist or the Federalists more consistent with American political thought?
Find an example of Anti-Federalist thought in current events and find an example of Anti-Federalist thought in current events. Explain how your example represents the perspective you’re describing.

ARP Step 3: Secondary Source Integration Instruction
The Secondary Source Integration asks you to revisit your work in the Primary Source Analysis and the Annotated Bibliography. You will extend or rethink your original analytical claims and integrate secondary evidence seamlessly and effectively into your own writing.
Below you will find a list of objectives for the assignment. Be sure to follow the directions outlined in Getting Started carefully as you seek to extend the work completed in STEP 1: Primary Source Analysis.
Your work should be 4-5 pages, double-spaced, typed in 12-point font, and set to 1” margins.
Objectives:
· Identify two (2) timely, useful, credible, and relevant secondary sources from Step 2: Annotated Bibliography. Your work with these sources should help you revise and extend the work you completed in Step 1: Primary Source Analysis
· Demonstrate the ability to comprehend the central arguments of these sources
· Perform meaningful, thoughtful analysis of these secondary sources
· Assert and maintain your own critical voice rather than letting the secondary evidence speak for you
· Develop an evolving thesis to orient your analysis and source integration
· Integrate secondary sources into your analysis by paraphrasing and/or directly citing the writers’ language and ideas
· Include proper in-text citations of each source and an appropriately formatted Works Cited page using MLA guidelines
Getting Started:
Extending Your PSA
· Return to your Primary Source Analysis, look over my comments, and decide which parts you plan to focus on in your final paper. This will probably require expanding or deleting parts of your initial analysis.
· Consider each secondary source’s main argument and how it relates to, supports, complicates, or differs from the argument you plan to make in your final paper.
· The Secondary Source Integration should not simply be added onto the end of your Primary Source Analysis but rather woven in and responding to specific elements of your own analysis. I recommend that you open a new document when you begin your Secondary Source Integration. You can cut and paste from your Primary Source Analysis and Annotated Bibliography as needed.
· Choose two sources that will allow you to engage in conversation, not just sources that agree with or support your main point.
· Use the secondary evidence to extend and revise the analysis completed in Step 1: Primary Source Analysis. This is an opportunity to add new sentences to existing paragraphs, to add new paragraphs, and, in general, to revise the existing Primary Source Analysis.
Developing Your SSI
In order to complete the extension and revision of your previous work, consider the following steps:
1. Focus on your own analytical claims. Interaction with secondary sources should allow for your Research Questions to evolve and to take shape, enabling you to revise or extend claims made in the previous assignment.
2. Focus on analyzing and integrating the seconda.

CAPABILITIES AND HUMAN RIGHTS
Martha C. Nussbaum*
INTRODUCTION
W HEN governments and international agencies talk about peo-
ple's basic political and economic entitlements, they regularly
use the language of rights. When constitutions are written in the mod-
em era, and their framers wish to identify a group of particularly ur-
gent interests that deserve special protection, once again it is the
language of rights that is regularly preferred.
The language of rights has a moral resonance that makes it hard to
avoid in contemporary political discourse. But it is certainly not on
account of its theoretical and conceptual clarity that it has been pre-
ferred. There are many different ways of thinking about what a right
is, and many different definitions of "human rights."' For example,
rights are often spoken of as entitlements that belong to all human
beings simply because they are human, or as especially urgent inter-
ests of human beings as human beings that deserve protection regard-
less of where people are situated.2 Within this tradition there are
differences. The dominant tradition has typically grounded rights in
the possession of rationality and language, thus implying that non-
human animals do not have them, and that mentally impaired humans
may not have them.3 Some philosophers have maintained that senti-
ence, instead, should be the basis of rights; thus, all animals would be
rights-bearers.4 In contrast to this entire group of natural-rights theo-
rists, there are also thinkers who treat all rights as artifacts of state
action.5 The latter position would seem to imply that there are no

Introduction to Sociology – Final PaperObjective of Paper Thi.docxmariuse18nolet
Introduction to Sociology – Final Paper
Objective of Paper: This is a standard research paper based on secondary and primary sources. It should address its topic from a sociological perspective. This means that whatever topic you pick should be discussed using terminology from the readings and class discussions, should be critically examined (meaning its construction, labels, and groups should be discussed and critiqued), and should be placed in a larger context based on what we’ve read and the material we’ve discussed.
Format: The paper must be typed in Times New Roman font, size 12, double-spaced. Points will be deducted for not following these specifications. Do not use color, include images, or provide a cover page. List your name, the course name, and the term at the top of the page, then write your title, then begin the paper. Papers must be at least 6 pages (not including the reference page). Points will be deducted if papers less than 6 and exceed 9 pages.
Citation Style: All citations (to be discussed later in this document) should be in American Sociological Association (ASA) format. See this website: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/583/02/ for information on in-text citations as well as reference page formatting (you’ll have to click on a link to get to the reference page specifications). All citations must appear in the text. You cannot simply list them all at the end of the paper. If you take an idea or a quote from an author, you must cite that author in the text and include her in the reference page as well. Failure to properly cite will result in point deductions.
Layout of Paper: The paper should be divided into FIVE parts:
· Introduction: You will introduce your topic and briefly describe it. You must also tell the reader:
· Why this topic should be interesting to an average reader (e.g., why should I care about the history of the “insanity” please in US courts if I am not a lawyer?)
· Why the topic is sociological
· Literature Review: Since you are probably not the first person to research this topic, you should do some reading of past authors’ works. You should give a summary of their works and explain why it is important to be aware of their works before doing your own research on your topic. You must use a minimum of 4 sources in your literature review. Also, you may only use academic sources or government publications. Acceptable sources are: academic books, journal articles from peer-reviewed journals, and government publications. Unacceptable sources include (but are not limited to): magazines, newspapers, blogs, “.com” websites, online news articles, or non-academic books. There are two major types of literature to look for:
· Literature which covers your topic specifically
· Literature which covers a topic somewhat related to your topic, but which helps you understand your own topic. For instance, if I’m writing a paper on a specific “Doomsday Cult” in Texas, I might end up with a lot of literature.
InstructionsThis paper requires you to analyze various primary so.docxJeniceStuckeyoo
Instructions:
This paper requires you to analyze various primary source documents. You are expected to provide an original, carefully considered interpretation of these documents based on the historical context you have learned in the course thus far. As a response paper, it is appropriate for you to employ first-person language in your paper, however, in formulating your opinions, you must demonstrate a thorough understanding of the texts and create
a well-organized
3-4 page paper.
All papers must be written in 12-font size, Times New Roman, double-spaced with 1-inch margins. It MUST contain citations (either in-text or Chicago Style).
Your paper should be uploaded as a word.doc format into Canvas
.
All other formats will not be accepted.
PROMPT:
For this paper assignment, you are asked to draw from the various primary and secondary sources available
to
answer all three of the following questions:
How did the planters’ paternalism serve to justify the system of slavery? Meaning, what were the arguments used to justify the existence of slavery in the south? In particular, consider the basic points made by the proslavery defense and how they justified their point of view to both southerners and non-southern audiences.
What were the lives of slaves like (including men, women and children) in the south? Consider the different types of labor systems (gang labor, task labor), and the ways in which slaves created communities and cultures that allowed them to survive in an oppressive society.
What attempts were made to resist slavery? Consider the attempts made by slaves (including rebellions, runaway tactics, etc.) as well as the attempts made by the abolitionist movement. Were these attempts successful or not?
Collectively, you should consider the ways in which the documents that you have chosen to highlight help us to understand more about the institution of slavery and this time period in history. Papers that do not answer all 3 prompts will not score well.
SOURCES
: For this assignment you need to
use AND cite
at least 6 sources
throughout your paper
. This should include any
6
of the following sources (a combination of primary sources, secondary sources, images, and videos, which are all available to you in Canvas).
Your sources should be cited using either footnotes or in-text citations and can include a Bibliography at the end (the Bibliography is NOT part of the page limit).

Discussion 1Interpretations of Social JusticeReligious.docxtheresiarede
Discussion 1
Interpretations of Social Justice
Religious doctrine, philosophy, law, and more formalized human rights initiatives influence how people interpret social justice. While early interpretations of social justice included concepts of fairness and dignity, what constitutes social justice today remains a source of debate. Basic freedoms that are considered keystones of human rights and social justice in one region may be considered only a privilege in another. For example, according to Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment,"* and yet, some countries justify the use of torture to protect national security and interests. Differing views of human rights reflect varying interpretations of social justice with no “correct” answers.

To prepare for this Discussion
:
Review the Course Introduction and think about ideas and concepts of social justice that are highlighted. Refer back to the Course Introduction throughout the course for reference.
Review the article, “Social Justice in an Open World: Chapter 1: Dimensions of International Justice and Social Justice.” Consider various aspects of social justice.
Review the book excerpts, “ Foreword,” “Preface,” and “Part I: Human rights as the bedrock of social justice.” Pay attention to the five core notions (concepts) of human rights. Consider how the various notions (concepts) of human rights shape the idea of social justice.
Review the book excerpt, “ Before and Beyond the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.” Reflect on the evolution of human rights prior to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and consider how this impacts social justice.
Review the Interactive Map, “Social Justice Issues,” focusing on the social justice outcomes. Select two regions on the map and think about the social justice outcomes for each. Consider how you might interpret the social justice outcomes.
Think about your understanding of social justice.
Consider various interpretations of social justice from your readings and from the Interactive Map, “Social Justice Issues.” Think about one interpretation with which you agree and one with which you do not agree.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Participant observation is one type of data collection method typically done in the qualitative research paradigm. It is a widely used methodology in many disciplines, particularly cultural anthropology, less so in sociology, communication studies, human geography and social psychology. Its aim is to gain a close and intimate familiarity with a given group of individuals (such as a religious, occupational, sub cultural group, or a particular community) and their practices through an intensive involvement with people in their cultural environment, usually over an extended period of time. The method originated in the field research of social anthropologists, especially Bronisław Malinowski in Britain, the students of Franz Boas in the United States, and in the later urban research of the Chicago School of sociology.

History and development
Participant observation was used extensively by Frank Hamilton Cushing in his study of the Zuni Indians in the later part of the nineteenth century, followed by the studies of non-Western societies by people such as Bronisław Malinowski,[1]E.E. Evans-Pritchard,[2] and Margaret Mead[3] in the first half of the twentieth century. It emerged as the principal approach to ethnographicresearch by anthropologists and relied on the cultivation of personal relationships with local informants as a way of learning about a culture, involving both observing and participating in the social life of a group. By living with the cultures they studied, researchers were able to formulate first hand accounts of their lives and gain novel insights. This same method of study has also been applied to gro.

Formulating the Problem Statement and the Purpose Statement
Over the past decade, there have been several changes in drug addiction treatment that has shown results that show reduced associated health and social costs by more than the cost of the treatments. It has been found that treatments cost much less that the alternatives, such as incarcerating people with addictions. There are many savings related to healthcare, which includes, total savings that can exceed costs with a ratio of 12 to 1. Major savings to the individual and to society also stems from fewer interpersonal conflicts; greater workplace productivity; and fewer drug-related accidents, including overdoses and deaths (Woody, M.D., 2018).
Problem Statement
A common misperception is detoxification cures the addiction, yet addiction is a chronic disorder requiring long term multimodal treatment (Korsmeyer et al., 2009. Long-term treatment for substance abuse and co-occurring disorders might reduce recidivism rates and lessen costs for rehabilitation. Goldstein, A. (1997). examined the benefits of long-term substance abuse and posited the benefits. Goldstein further suggested not treating addiction appropriately or at all contributes to the high costs associated with substance use in the United States.
Insurance companies are reluctant to support long term substance abuse treatment; however, Weisner, Ray, Mertens, Satre and Moore (2003) noted patients receiving a minimum of six months substance treatment abstained from drug and alcohol use at least five years after treatment yet abusers of alcohol were less likely to remain sober for lengthy periods of time after treatment (Weisner et al., 2003).
According to the National Drug Institute (2012), every dollar invested in substance abuse treatment yields a return of $5.50 in reduced drug-related crime, costs associated with criminal justice, and theft. Healthcare savings can exceed costs by a 12 to 1 ratio. Therefore, drug addiction treatment reduces costs associated with primary care and is less costly than incarceration. Addressing addiction also contributes to the more positive aspects of life, such as increase in work productivity, and fewer incidents related to drug use, fewer overdoses and deaths.
Purpose Statement
The purpose of this correlational study is to see if a relationship exists among periods of sobriety and four levels of substance abuse treatment. The research will examine substance abuse treatment throughout various levels of care: higher levels (detox, Inpatient (IP), and Residential (RTC) and lower levels (partial hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and routine Outpatient (OP). Current trends in substance abuse treatment provides evidence that length of treatment is inadequate contributing to more frequent relapses among substance abusers. Longer treatment options for addiction may reduce the number of relapses, reduce costs asso.

Research
methods a critical review
1
Aims
To re-cap on learning to date
To explore in a little more depth some examples of methods
To review grounded theory
To explore ethnography
In-put around 3 actual research projects (PhD study)
So far….
We are aware that there are different research methodologies which lead to the use of different methods
There is a fundamental split based upon structure
determining whether a qualitative or quantitative approach is taken
This is influenced by researcher preferences and the area to be followed
Which methods is best?
Opinion is divided and this means there is no simple answer
Debate about which approach is superior ends in personal preference and that all methods have their own strengths
Yet there is a critical review of both methods and methodology
Important to engage with to understand bias and limitation
Method 1: Surveys
What? Gathers information / opinions / can describe a trend
Can be structured / semi-structured / sample or whole population
Usefulness / strengths: Provides a quantitative or numeric description of events
Limitations: Closed and encoded / lacks flexibility/ restricted information / researcher and tool are in control
Method 2: Interviews
What? ‘Conversation with a purpose’ / two way approach / Unstructured / semi-structured
Usefulness / strengths: Findings are created and recorded at the time / flexibility / allows for a reflexive approach
Limitations: Requires a skilled interviewer / side-lining can be a problem / personal disclosure / ethically challenging
Methods 3: Focus group
What? A group interview or discussion (Gill et al., 2008). Based upon interaction to create findings.
Usefulness / strengths: Less time required and rich qualitative data created / findings are co-constructed / potential for egalitarianism
Limitations: Requires careful facilitation / some participant may dominate / ethics / sensitivity need to be adhered to
E.G. Grounded Theory (GT)
A qualitative strategy were theory is derived from participants feedback (understand humans)
Data collection and analysis occur simultaneously
Social processes are discovered building ideas / theory from the ground up / avoiding pre-conceptions
Categories and analytic codes developed from data
Theoretical sampling used to refine categories
Analytical memos used between coding
and writing
Categories integrated into a theoretical
framework
Defining and evaluating…
“The spirit of grounded theory is open-ended and flexible, a form of research that seeks to understand individuals involved in social interactions of various types within various contexts” Gilgun (2010)
GT provides tools, which are flexible, reflexive and allowing ‘fresh ways’ to examine data
“ We begin by being open to what is happening in the studies scenes and interview statements so that we might learn about out research participants’ lives” Charmaz (2006)

Research Methods 1
Draft 1
Anton Kropotkin
Banking system and economy of Russia
1) Proposal
· Idea
Make a research of about banking system and economy of Russian Federation and connect it to small business, politics and corruption. Recognize week points, and establish possible solutions, that can improve economy of Russia.
· Introduction
The central Bank of Russia was created since 1990s and up to know days it is the bank of the first level, which is the main bank for holding federal funds of 475 billion dollars up to know. The central bank is the main one to issue banknotes and is acting as the main coordinating and regulatory body of the entire credit system of the country. Also it controls the activities of credit organizations, issues and withdraws licenses from them for banking operations, and credit organizations work with other legal entities and individuals. The economy of Russia is directly connected with Central bank and plays the biggest role. Currently the situation in our country is not the best, and the crisis is developing in bad way. Year by year people are living worse, mainly due to inflation, people who got the normal job, let’s say as a teacher have the same salary but the prices for the goods are growing dramatically. The bank and economy of Russia are seriously affected by prices for oil which now days jump a lot in prices, mainly due to geo politics of our country.
· What are the problem?
As in beginning my main objective was to study the bank system and the central bank of Russian Federation. But after analyzing data and thinking about all of those years, looking how the economy and our currency, falls in front of Dollar and Euro, which means the economy struggles and there are weak points in Russian economy.
· Topics to connect (problems to solutions)
1) Small business has two chooses or they fall as a bankruptcy or they don’t pay taxes.
Reasons: Low wages vs high prices for goods, high inflation, monopolization of a number of economic sectors and bureaucracy.
2) Politics
Reasons: Sanctions, geo politics, micro, and oil prices.
3) Corruption
Reasons: 52% of corruption, which means the government don’t get paid taxes. Government regulations
All of that plays a big role in economy of Russia, in which I want to study and make my research paper, I want to find solutions and how people in my country can live better.
· Structure
1) Introduction
2) Structure of central bank and system
3) Functions
4) Legal status
5) Goals of Central bank and growing economy
6) Problems
7)
Solution

8) Conclusion
· Conclusion of the proposal
After researching about this topic and thinking further, I can see that my country experiencing lack of attention in banking system, government regulations and political side, which are affecting the Russian economy dramatically, there are many reasons which I have proposed on up section, my objective will be to find solution to each one and see how they are all connected .

In this week’s discussion about strategic planning, we discussed more corporate strategy. We learned that there are three scopes of corporate strategy which include vertical integration, diversification as well as geographic scope. We also learned the role of the company leaders in the strategic planning of the company. The discussion also touched on concepts such as tape, innovation integration global strategy and international strategy among many other concepts (Rothaermel, 2019). The main aim of these concepts is to help the company strategically plan for activities that will help the company grow. The concepts also help to align the company strategically with other companies. In this journal, I will discuss some of these concepts and how they apply to the company’s strategic planning.
Caterpillars Inc. short versus long term goals.
Caterpillars Inc. has created both short term and long-term goals to help grow the company. The short-term goals of the company are mainly key improvements in various areas are that enable the company to achieve its long-term goals. These short-term goals include improvements in renewable energy areas, water consumption intensity, reducing the number of recordable injuries, improving sales and revenues, and reducing the GHG emissions intensity in the next five years (Caterpillar Inc., 2019). The company also has long term goals that encompass the short term goals and this includes, reducing the energy intensity by 50 percent, reducing the emissions of the company by 50 percent, reducing the water consumption in the company by 50 percent and reducing the injury recorded rate in the company by 60 percent (Caterpillar Inc., 2019). All of these should be achieved in 5 years. The short term goals are the necessary steps that the company must take to achieve its long term goals. The main purpose of achieving the goals is to reduce the costs of operations, offer better products and reduce pollution to the environment.
Mergers and acquisitions contributed to the company’s performance.
The company has acquired three companies through mergers and acquisitions in the last 5 years. Two of the three companies acquired by caterpillar are from the private sector and have divested a total of 8 assets. These mergers and acquisitions have enabled caterpillar companies to increase their aggressiveness in the market place increasing its dominance in the global industrial market (Merger. 2019). It has helped the companies increase their value, improve their overall performance and has reached an increased growth in the regional and global market share and its products in the market. It has established a strategic market realignment in the company’s network helping it achieve more market shares and thrive well in the last 5 years.
The company’s global str.

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

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

Research Paper Assignment SheetFor your third paper assignment, .docx
1. Research Paper Assignment Sheet
For your third paper assignment, you will use a primary source
in an introductory paragraph to introduce your topic and
develop a thesis. Then, you will support and develop your thesis
claim by using outside research (secondary sources) to expand,
illustrate, and/or supplement that claim. Like the other two
papers that you've written this semester, your research essay
must be an academic paper that provides an analysis of texts
and develops an argument regarding an assigned topic. You are
not writing an informative report but must instead develop an
argument to support your thesis.
In your research paper, you will need to discuss one of the
topics that you'll find in the file that is attached below. The
topics are taken from
Topics for Discussion: Unit 4
, so you should begin your exploration of them as you post
responses for those discussion topics.
Follow the Paper Plan & Development Strategy from Writing
Your Research Paper to develop and organize your essay into an
introduction (one introductory paragraph), body (multiple body
paragraphs), and conclusion (one concluding paragraph).
This essay should be 4-5 pages, not counting the Works Cited
page (one-inch margins, typed and double-spaced). You will
need to use MLA documentation (see MLA Documentation for
Research Papers). Be sure to cite all quotations, paraphrases,
and references to outside sources in proper MLA style. Include
a Works Cited page as the final page of your paper (see pages
356-398 in your grammar handbook for tips and reminders).
2. You must use 3 secondary sources (found through your
research) along with one primary source (from the assigned
topics). Secondary sources can be found using TTC's online
databases (Infotrac, Biography Resource Center, Literature
Resource Center, etc.).
Topics
The following topics will give you ideas for getting started, but
you will need to narrow them to develop your thesis because the
topics are broad. You will need to decide what you think about
the topic you choose and then develop an argument. Personal
experience is not acceptable as evidence in this assignment.
Topic I
Individual Liberty VS Social Equality
What is the relationship between individual liberty and social
equality? When-if ever-should one person's individual rights be
denied for the social good? In your introductory paragraph, you
should discuss
Democracy in America
to set up this topic. In the body of your paper, you will need to
examine a current issue-smoker's rights, gun control, drug
testing, or affirmative action, for example-to discuss this issue.
Make sure, however, that your paper is not about that issue but
instead relates that issue to the topic concerning individual
rights and social equality.
Topic II
The Ideal America Vs the Real America
Discuss the relationship between the
3. ideal America
and the
real
America
. First, in your introductory paragraph, you should write about
the
Declaration of Independence
to explain the ideals that are described in that text. Then, you
should find texts through research (secondary sources) that
describe the ways in which access to those ideals has been
denied a certain group of people. For example, you may
develop an argument in the body of the paper that explains the
struggle by black people in this country-from slavery to the
civil rights movement to today-as a struggle to gain access to
the ideals promised in the
Declaration
, or you might write about the struggles another group (women,
homosexuals, etc.) have faced in an effort to gain equality and
liberty.
Topic III
Thomas Jefferson's Life Vs His Idealism
Examine Jefferson's life and times to discuss the conflict
between the ideals he described in writing and the life he lived.
In his lifetime, equal rights were legally guaranteed to no one
but white, male, landowners, and Jefferson not only owned
slaves but also referred to Native Peoples as "merciless Indian
savages" instead of people with unalienable rights. How can an
examination of Jefferson's life and other writings help us learn
something about him as well as about American ideology? For
this topic, use the
Declaration of Independence
in the introductory paragraph to define the ideals that Jefferson
4. prescribed in that document. The body paragraphs will contain
research that shows both his violation of those ideals, as well as
other writers' perspectives concerning the conflict between
Jefferson's actions and his ideals.
Topic IV
Types of Political Activism: Separatism VS Assimilation
In the
Declaration of Independence
, Jefferson argues that the people have the right and the duty to
"alter or abolish" a government that does not insure the rights of
its citizens. Discuss that part of the
Declaration
in an introductory paragraph as a way of explaining these two
methods of political activism. In general, political activism, no
matter what the agenda, can be divided into these two camps
(those who wish to abolish existing governments and those who
wish to alter it). How does the history of African American
activism in this country reflect these two forms of political
activism? For example, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King
represent these two options, as do Louis Farrahkan and Jesse
Jackson. Through research, examine either these two strains of
activism in the black community, or you can choose another
political movement (feminism, (Native American activism, gay
rights activism, etc.). Explain the way in which the political
movement you choose to write about represents the two strains
of political activism that are described in the
Declaration
.
Topic V
The Myth of the "Vanishing Indian"
5. In "Wounded Knee," Black Elk suggests that, after the Wounded
Knee Massacre, Native American nations were "broken and
scattered." Certainly, the U.S. government worked hard to wipe
out the Native Peoples in America, but these people have not
disappeared. Provide a discussion of "Wounded Knee" in your
introductory paragraph to set up this topic. Then, through
research, examine both the attempts by the U.S. government to
wipe out native ways of life in this country and the responses of
Native Peoples to the activities of the Federal government.
