Student Socioautobiography
Below is an example of what you may include in your socioautobiography. Notice how the key terms are in bold blue font. This is the format that I want you to use, since it directs me to the concepts that you are using to frame what you are writing.
Leaving home at eighteen to go out on my own and start my own life, there were many things I wasn’t prepared for. Because of my ascribed status at birth, being born to poor parents, I couldn’t afford to go to college, and even if I could, I really had no idea of what I wanted to do with my life. I guess that as agents of socialization, my parents did not know how to prepare me for the world of work. Thus, I had little anticipatory socialization for the workplace. I just figured I could find a job that would pay me well enough that I could afford to have all the things I never had growing up.
I truly believed that I could do anything a man could do, and deserved to be paid the same for the same work. With this in mind, I found a job in a manufacturing plant where I was, it appeared, the “token” female employee. My fellow employees were all men, and I was placed in the uncomfortable position of having to prove that I not only could do the job, but was also “one of the guys.” I soon came to learn that gender role differences are apparent in the workplace. While there are the obvious physical differences and capabilities, there are also the differences in how each gender deals with perceived problems, whether it is pertaining to the job at hand, or the interaction with fellow employees. By being the only female in a male dominated workplace, I had numerous problems to overcome. The most prevalent one was sexual harassment. I felt that I was treated as an “object”, one that had been hired simply to provide enjoyment for
the men. I had been at work an hour when the first suggestive remark came out. Being only 19 years old at the time, I had very little experience with dealing with this and was completely at a loss as to how to handle the situation. Sad to say, I handled it exactly wrong; by losing my temper. I pointed out, in no uncertain terms, that I was not a piece of meat and did not appreciate his attention. This gave him the opportunity to make another remark, this one aimed at women in the workplace in general, which caused another outburst on my part. Needless to say, by the end of my first day, it wouldn’t have mattered if I had been the best machine operator to walk in the door in a long time. By allowing this man to make me lose my temper, I had also given them a validation of the opinions they already held: that women didn’t belong in their line of work; they were too emotional and physically unsuited for the work.
Nowhere in my reading was there any information on how men were to deal with the situation. I found this to be totally unfair, and felt that maybe it was in my power to at least educate the men I was working with in proper work etiqu.
Men! Where are you? Can we take our rightful position, understand who we are, what is expected of us, learn what God wants with us and let us take the lead.
Harrison believes that one of the most important things to any human being is to feel important. We all have the need to feel significant and this need is something that really controls and governs many of our lives. Being focused on the work is incredibly important. Being focused on your own significance is attachment, and all attachments eventually result in disappointment.

Chapter 13 Global Health Challenges
MANY INDIVIDUALS AND NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS (NGOS) HELP FIGHT GLOBAL DISEASE. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation plays a key role in the war against malaria, AIDS, and other diseases. Melinda and Bill Gates met with doctors and patients at the Manhica Research Center and Hospital in an area of Mozambique heavily affected by malaria.
Learning Objectives
1. 13.1Recall the causes and effects of noncommunicable diseases
2. 13.2Evaluate the role of global travel and trade in facilitating the globalization of infectious diseases
3. 13.3Outline the three developments that gave rise to the concept of human security
4. 13.4Describe the three epidemiologic transitions to better understand contemporary concerns about infectious diseases
5. 13.5Report the cause, spread, effects, and control measures of influenza and avian flu
6. 13.6Report the cause, spread, effects, and control measures of malaria
7. 13.7Recognize the causes and preventive measures of HIV
8. 13.8Report the origin, spread, effects, and control measures of SARS
9. 13.9Report the origin, spread, effects, and control measures of Ebola
10. 13.10Outline role of the WHO in preventing the spread of infectious diseases
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and mental illness in general and Alzheimer’s disease in particular are the leading causes of death and disability globally. Long associated with affluent Western standards of living, NCDs are now a global problem. While rich countries are better equipped to deal with chronic diseases, they are far more deadly in poor countries. Growing numbers of old people and the spread of middle-class lifestyles make NCDs more prevalent than infectious diseases. Globalization also contributes to the growth of NCDs by helping expand the global middle class and by promoting fast foods, sugary drinks, alcohol, smoking, processed foods, and sedentary lifestyles. A major global health threat that undermines efforts to cure diseases is the emergence of germs that are resistant to antibiotics. This is due mainly to the excessive use of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture.
Infectious diseases are intertwined with numerous global issues and are inseparable from political, economic, and cultural components of globalization. Ethnic conflicts make populations vulnerable to infectious diseases. Fighting contributes to the collapse of public services, which means that many people die from what would ordinarily be treatable diseases, such as diarrhea and respiratory infections. Conflicts also create refugees, overcrowding, and unsanitary conditions, thereby creating environments conducive to the spread of infectious diseases.
Environmental degradation and deforestation expose humans to a variety of infectious diseases. They also contribute to global warming and flooding,.
Scapegoating is a theory of prejudice and discrimination. Societ.docxtodd331
Scapegoating is a theory of prejudice and discrimination. Society looks at the weakest group, and places blame on that group for all ills. That group then becomes the bottom level of society. We've seen this over the past 18 months. Illegal immigrants have been blamed for many issues, in particular crime and unemployment rates. Yet, I know few in my own area who will do the jobs these folks do every day. As for crime, please see the link below for a journal article that addresses this issue. Most crimes committed by immigrants without papers are misdemeanors.

Discussion 3.2: Hypothesis Test Tag Team
Corporate Responsibility 8;
The Social Responsibility of Business Is
to Increase Its Profits
Milton Friedman
When I hear businessmen speak eloquently
about the “social responsibilities of business
in a free-enterprise system,” I am reminded
of the wonderful line about the Frenchman
who discovered at the age of 70 that he had
been speaking prose all his life. The busi
nessmen believe that they are defending free
enterprise when they declaim that business
is not concerned “merely” with profit but
also with promoting desirable “social” ends;
that business has a “social conscience” and
takes seriously its responsibilities for provid
ing employment, eliminating discrimina
tion, avoiding pollution and whatever else
may be the catchwords of the contemporary
crop of reformers. In fact they are—or
would be if they or anyone else took them
seriously—preaching pure and unadulter
ated socialism. Businessmen who talk this
way are unwitting puppets of the intellectual
forces that have been undermining the basis
of a free society these past decades.
The discussions of the “social responsibil
ities of business” are notable for their analyt
ical looseness and lack of rigor. What does it
mean to say that “business” has responsibili
ties? Only people can have responsibilities.
A corporation is an artificial person and in
this sense may have artificial responsibili
ties, but “business” as a whole cannot be said
to have responsibilities, even in this vague
sense. The first step toward clarity in ex
amining the doctrine of the social responsi
bility of business is to ask precisely what it
implies for whom.
Presumably, the individuals who are to be
responsible are businessmen, which means
individual proprietors or corporate execu
tives. Most of the discussion of social respon
sibility is directed at corporations, so in what
follows I shall mostly neglect the individual
proprietors and speak of corporate execu
tives.
In a free-enterprise, private-property sys
tem, a corporate executive is an employee of
the owners of the business. He has direct re
sponsibility to his employers. That responsi
bility is to conduct the business in accord
ance with their desires, which generally will
be to make as much money as possible while
conforming to the basic rules of the society,
both those embodied in law and those em
bodied in ethical custom. Of course, in some
cases his employers may have a different ob
jective. A group of persons might establish a
corporation for an eleemosynary purpose—
for example, a hospital or a school. The
manager of such a corporation will not have
money profit as his objectives but the ren
dering of certain services.
In either case,.

Application Assignment 2: Part 2 - Developing an Advocacy Campaign
The following application, Part 2, will be due in Week 7.
To prepare:
· Review Chapter 3 of Health policy and politics: A nurse’s guide.
· In the first assignment, you reflected on whether the policy you would like to promote could best be achieved through the development of new legislation, or a change in an existing law or regulation. Refine as necessary using any feedback from your first paper.
· Contemplate how existing laws or regulations may affect how you proceed in advocating for your proposed policy.
· Consider how you could influence legislators or other policymakers to enact the policy you propose.
· Think about the obstacles of the legislative process that may prevent your proposed policy from being implemented as intended.
·
To complete:
Part Two will have approximately 3–4 pages of content plus a title page and references. Part Two will address the following:
· Explain whether your proposed policy could be enacted through a modification of existing law or regulation or the creation of new legislation/regulation.
· Explain how existing laws or regulations could affect your advocacy efforts. Be sure to cite and reference the laws and regulations using primary sources.
· Provide an analysis of the methods you could use to influence legislators or other policymakers to support your policy. In particular, explain how you would use the “three legs” of lobbying in your advocacy efforts.
· Summarize obstacles that could arise in the legislative process and how to overcome these hurdles.
Milstead: 3 Legs of Lobbying
“According to Milstead (2013), Leg One of the Three-Legged Stool consists of lobbying which is the act of influencing – the art of persuading-a government entity. “Legislators often rely on lobbyists’ expertise to help them understand what they are voting for or against.” (Milstead, 2013, p. 53). Local State Representatives should be targeted as a champion for the bill and that’s likely where an average voter can begin for their voice to be heard at the local and state levels.Leg Two of the Three-Legged Stool also includes the grassroots lobbyists. The AmericanNurses Association often spear-heads lobbying efforts in the best interest of the public on healthcare related issues and has a strong history of working with Congress on these important issues. “Grassroots lobbyists are constituents who have the power to elect officials through their vote and have expertise and knowledge about a particular issue (such as nurses in healthcare reform debates)” (Milstead, 2013, p. 54). Nurses can become a member of the American Nurses Association or other associations to ensure nurses have a voice on these important issues”

Chapter 13:The Bureaucracy
ADA Text Version
Learning Objectives
1. Describe the formal organization of the federal bureaucracy.
2. Classify the vital functions performed by the bureaucracy.
3. Explain the present Civil Service system and contrast it with the 19th century spoils system.
4. Identify the various factors contributing to bureaucracy's growth over time.
5. Compare the means by which Congress and the president attempt to maintain control over the bureaucracy.
6. Analyze and evaluate the problems that bureaucratic organization poses for American democracy.
Introduction
The very word "bureaucracy" often carries negative connotations. To refer to an institution as a "bureaucracy" or characterize it as "bureaucratic" is usually intended as an insult. But the national bureaucracy, sometimes called the "fourth branch of government", is responsible for practically all of the day-to-day work of governing the country. While bureaucracy in the United States, consistent with our tradition of more limited government, is smaller than its counterparts in other longstanding democracies, its influence extends to almost every corner of American society. From delivery of the mail to regulation of the stock market to national defense, federal employees plan, regulate, adjudicate, enforce, and implement federal law. Despite recurrent calls to "shrink" the size of government, the federal bureaucracy remains the largest single employer in the United States. This lesson examines the bureaucracy's formal organization, its critical role in the American economy and society, and its perceived weaknesses.
Study Questions
1. How did sociologist Max Weber define bureaucracy?
2. Identify the various functions federal bureaucracies perform giving at least one example each:
a. Implementation
b. Regulation
c. Adjudication
d. Enforcement
e. Policy-making
3. How many people does the federal government employ? For what percentage of GDP does federal spending account? How does this compare to other economically advanced democracies?
4. Classify and distinguish the major types of bureaucracy in the federal government:
a. Cabinet Departments
b. Independent Agencies
c. Independent Regulatory Commissions
d. Government Corporations
5. How does the federal bureaucracy select and recruit personnel? Contrast the present civil service system with the spoils system. What advantages does the present system provide?
6. What factors explain the growth of bureaucracy over time despite recurrent calls for limiting the size of government?
7. Identify those factors in the budget process making it difficult to cut bureaucratic funding.
8. Describe the way Congress authorizes funding for the federal bureaucracy.
9. How does Congress attempt to control the federal bureaucracy?
10. How does the president attempt to control the federal bureaucracy?
11. What special problems does bureaucratic independence present in a democracy? Discuss with re.

TABLE 2.2 Connecting Knowledge of Development and Learning to Teaching Practices
Principles of Child Development and Learning
Developmentally Appropriate Teaching Practices
Children develop holistically
• Teachers plan daily activities and routines to address aesthetic, emotional, cognitive, language, physical, and social development.
• Teachers integrate learning across the curriculum (e.g., mixing language, physical, and social; combining math, science, and reading).
Child development follows an orderly sequence
• Teachers use their knowledge of developmental sequences to gauge whether children are developing as expected, to determine reasonable expectations, and to plan next steps in the learning process.
Children develop at varying rates
• Teachers give children opportunities to pursue activities at their own pace.
• Teachers repeat activities more than once so children can participate according to changing needs and abilities.
• Teachers plan activities with multiple learning objectives to address the needs of more and less advanced learners.
Children learn best when they feel safe and secure
• Teachers develop nurturing relationships with children and remain with children long enough so children can easily identify a specific adult from whom to seek help, comfort, attention, and guidance.
• Daily routines are predictable. Changes in routine are explained in advance so children can anticipate what will happen.
• There is two-way communication between teachers and families, and families are welcome in the program.
• Children have access to images, objects, and activities that reflect their home experiences.
• The early childhood environment complies with all safety requirements.
• Adults use positive discipline to enhance children’s self-esteem, self-control, and problem-solving abilities.
• Teachers address aggression and bullying calmly, firmly, and proactively.
Children are active learners
• Activities, transitions, and routines respect children’s attention span, need for activity and need for social interaction. Inactive segments of the day are short.
• Children participate in gross motor activities every day.
Children learn through a combination of physical experience, social experience, and reflection
• Adults encourage children to explore and investigate. They pose questions, offer information, and challenge children’s thinking.
• Children have many chances to document and reflect on their ideas.
Children learn through mastery and challenge
• Practitioners simplify, maintain, or extend activities in response to children’s functioning and comprehension.
Children’s learning profiles vary
• Teachers present the same information in more than one modality (seeing, hearing, touching) and through different types of activities.
• Children have opportunities to play on their own and with others; indoors and outdoors; with natural and manufactured materials.

Human Impact on the Environment
Every day, I see the harmful impacts of humans on the environment. Just 13 percent of the globe’s oceans remain unsoiled by humanity’s damaging impacts (Carrington, 2018). In the remotest poles and Pacific areas, most of the ocean has no natural marine wildlife. Pollution, huge fishing fleets, and global shipping along with climate change are all degrading the oceans. The vehicles we drive every day, industrial wastes, overpopulation, and fossil fuels, all have negative effects on the environment. Human activities are negatively affecting the environment by degrading it and sooner or later, the earth will not be able to sustain humans.
Overpopulation is now an epidemic with decreased mortality rates, improved medicine, and food sustainability. We are living longer, which is increasing population. The impact of overpopulation includes environmental degradation due to cutting down of trees to create space. With less trees to filter the air, an increase in carbon dioxide levels is damaging every single organism (Interesting Engineering, 2019). Another effect of overpopulation is overdependence on fossil fuels such as coal and oil, which emit plentiful carbon oxide into the air. With increased population, humans need more space, which damage ecosystems and augment carbon dioxide emissions.
Pollution is another impact of human activities on the environment. From trash, industrial wastes to carbon dioxide emissions into the air, pollutions is inevitable. Over 2.4 billion individuals have no access to sources of clean water. Human activities continue to deplete indispensable resources such as soil, water, and air. United States, for example, produces 147 million metric tons of air pollution annually (Interesting Engineering, 2019). Air quality in developing nations continues to plummet as well. This means that we are engaging in activities that are hurting the environment.
Global warming is one of the greatest causes of environmental degradation contributed by human activities. Some people do not believe that global warming is real. However, that is not true, and its major contributors include carbon dioxide emissions from respiration, deforestation, and burning fossil fuels. Each year, we continue to contribute to levels of carbon dioxide globally. Current levels exceed 400 PPM, and the rise in carbon dioxide emissions are attributed to an increase in global temperatures (Interesting Engineering, 2019). The result is the melting of arctic glaciers and land ice, which will increase sea levels, and have negative effects on oceanic life.
Climate change is another impact on the environment that is being caused by us. It is linked .

Review
Mendel’s paper ‘Versuche über Pflanzen-Hybriden’ is the
best known in a series of studies published in the late 18th
and 19th centuries that built our understanding of the
mechanism of inheritance. Mendel investigated the seg-
regation of seven gene characters of pea (Pisum sativum),
of which four have been identified. Here, we review what
is known about the molecular nature of these genes,
which encode enzymes (R and Le), a biochemical regula-
tor (I) and a transcription factor (A). The mutations are: a
transposon insertion (r), an amino acid insertion (i), a
splice variant (a) and a missense mutation (le-1). The
nature of the three remaining uncharacterized characters
(green versus yellow pods, inflated versus constricted
pods, and axial versus terminal flowers) is discussed.

STANDARIZATION OF A BASE
AND TITRATION OF A VINEGAR SOLUTION
ADDITIONAL READING
The concepts in this experiment are also discussed in sections 3.6 AND 17.3 of Chemistry and Chemical Reactivity by
Kotz, Treichel, Townsend and Treichel, and in sections 4.3b, 17.3a, and 17.3b of Mindtap General Chemistry by Vining,
Young, Day, and Botch
ABSTRACT
This experiment is divided into two parts. Each student is expected to perform the experiment individually.
In Part A, you will prepare a NaOH titrant solution, then standardize it (determine its exact concentration) using the acid
primary standard, potassium hydrogen phthalate, KHC8H4O4, frequently abbreviated as KHP. Note KHP is not a chemical
formula.
In Part B you will use your standardized NaOH solution to determine the molar concentration of vinegar (an acetic acid,
CH3COOH, solution), and convert this concentration unit to a mass percent concentration unit, and finally compare your
measured mass percent concentration to the value reported on the bottle.
BACKGROUND
TITRATIONS
One of the most useful strategies in analytical chemistry is to use a known reagent (known composition or concentration)
as a standard to analyze an unknown substance. A titration is an analytical procedure in which a solution of known
concentration, the standard solution, is slowly reacted with a solution of unknown concentration. The concentration of
the unknown solution can be easily calculated. Titration is often used to measure the concentration of an acid or base,
but it can also be used for any chemical reaction if the stoichiometry is known.
EXPERIMENTS 6 AND 7 ARE BOTH ACID BASE TITRATION EXPERIMENTS, QUITE SIMILAR TO EACH OTHER.
THE REASONS FOR DOING TWO TITRATION EXPERIMENTS
A. TO GIVE STUDENTS PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY BOTH TO PERFECT THEIR TITRATION TECHNIQUE AND
TO LEARN TO DO THE CALCULATIONS;
B. TITRATION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TECHNIQUE LEARNED IN CHEM 1033 LAB.
YOU WILL DO A PRACTICAL LAB EXAM AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER; IT WILL BE A VERY SIMILAR
TITRATION.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT TITRATION IS AN ACQUIRED SKILL, REQUIRING PRACTICE. MOST
STUDENTS ARE NOT PROFICIENT AT FIRST, BUT IF YOU WANT TO BECOME EXPERT AT IT, YOU WILL GET
THERE WITH PRACTICE.
It is critical that there be an observable change that signals that the titration is complete. This is called the endpoint,
since it signals the end of the titration, when the equivalents of titrant added just equal the equivalents of the analyte
unknown. When performing an acid-base titration, we commonly use an acid-base indicator that has one color before the
endpoint but changes sharply to a different color at the pH of the endpoint.
Titrations are carried out using a specialized piece of glassware called a buret, which is long tube with a dispensing valve.
The buret scale has graduated marks in units of 0.01 mL or 0.02 mL. You can apply the techniques used for readi.
Scanlon Technologies, Inc. Anne Scanlon founded Scanlon Technol.docxtodd331
Scanlon Technologies, Inc.
*
Anne Scanlon founded Scanlon Technologies, Inc., in 1993. The company designed and manufactured high-tech products that were used in various industries ranging from semiconductor to aviation. Over the years, Scanlon Technologies reported a compound annual growth rate in revenues of over 20% due to high demand for the company’s products and Anne’s superior management skills. By the end of 1996, it was clear that any further growth would have to come from international expansion. However, establishing manufacturing operations and opening up sales and marketing offices abroad required a significant amount of capital. Anne considered investing more of her own money into the business; however, given that she already had most of her wealth tied up in the company, she decided against the idea. Moreover, she believed that the amount of funds Scanlon Technologies needed to raise for expansion was in the tens of millions. In her mind, there was only one clear solution—go public.
In September 1996, Anne hired J.P. Suisse, a top tier investment bank, to take Scanlon Technologies public. On January 1, 1997, the company, which was authorized by the State of Delaware to sell 20 million common stock and 10 million preferred stock, issued one million shares of common stock in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol STI. The stock, which had a par value of $1, was sold for $20 per share and climbed to $26 a share by the end of its first trading day.
As expected, the funds raised in the IPO were used to open offices all over the world as well as build a second manufacturing plant in Toronto, Canada. Over the next couple of years, business was good and the company was able to generate enough cash to maintain its level of operations.
In October 1999, Anne learned that Kadehjian
Solution
s Coporation, a competitor, was considering the option of being acquired. Anne believed that such an acquisition would position Scanlon Technologies as the industry leader. One of Kadehjian’s requirements for such an acquisition was that it be an all-cash transaction. Anne knew that this would require Scanlon Technologies to raise approximately $7 million.
Ann contracted J.P. Suisse to discuss raising these funds through the capital markets. The managing directors at J.P. Suisse recommended that Scanlon Technologies employ a combination of debt and equity securities. Anne agreed and on January 1, 2000, the company issued an additional one hundred thousand shares of its $1 par value common stock at $40 per share. On the same day, the company issued $2 million in bonds at 95.8, due in 5 years with 5% interest payable annually (at year end). The market interest rate at the time was 6% per year. Also on January 1, 2000, Scanlon Technologies issued $1.3 million in zero-coupon (i.e. no interest) convertible bonds, also due in 5 years. Each $1,000 bond converted into 20 shares of its commo.

Upon Julia's Breasts
Display thy breasts, my Julia, there let me
Behold that circummortal purity;
Between whose glories, there my lips I'll lay,
Ravished in that fair Via Lactea.
Upon a Child That Died
Here she lies, a pretty bud,
Lately made of flesh and blood,
Who as soon fell fast asleep
As her little eyes did peep.
Give her strewings, but not stir
The earth that lightly covers her.

Scale Ratio Variable Histograms are useful for presenting qu.docxtodd331
Scale Ratio Variable
Histograms are useful for presenting quantitative data such as the example variable ADULT_CT which describes the number of individuals per household. The variable measurement is scale ratio and as it depicts a number, a histogram is able to reflect the number of individuals belonging to each variable value or interval of values (Mishra, Pandey, Singh & Gupta, 2018).). Histograms divide the variable into equal intervals as shown below in individuals reported per home. The graph indicates nearly 3,000 reporting and displays the individual numbers per interval. The bar levels of the graph make it is easy to discern the average number reporting as 2 per household.
Nominal Variable
As nominal variables depict qualitative data such as in the variable Q87 which describes the level of trust individuals felt towards others, a pie graph would be beneficial to use as it easily displays each group or individual share in the total being examined (Mishra, Pandey, Singh & Gupta, 2018). For example, the pie graph here which shows what percentage of trust was and wasn’t felt toward others. Graphs like these are appropriate for showing a variable that cannot be ordered or numerical in value such as feelings of trust (Frankfort-Nachmias, Leon-Guerrero & Davis, 2020).

Chapter 13 Global Health Challenges
MANY INDIVIDUALS AND NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS (NGOS) HELP FIGHT GLOBAL DISEASE. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation plays a key role in the war against malaria, AIDS, and other diseases. Melinda and Bill Gates met with doctors and patients at the Manhica Research Center and Hospital in an area of Mozambique heavily affected by malaria.
Learning Objectives
1. 13.1Recall the causes and effects of noncommunicable diseases
2. 13.2Evaluate the role of global travel and trade in facilitating the globalization of infectious diseases
3. 13.3Outline the three developments that gave rise to the concept of human security
4. 13.4Describe the three epidemiologic transitions to better understand contemporary concerns about infectious diseases
5. 13.5Report the cause, spread, effects, and control measures of influenza and avian flu
6. 13.6Report the cause, spread, effects, and control measures of malaria
7. 13.7Recognize the causes and preventive measures of HIV
8. 13.8Report the origin, spread, effects, and control measures of SARS
9. 13.9Report the origin, spread, effects, and control measures of Ebola
10. 13.10Outline role of the WHO in preventing the spread of infectious diseases
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and mental illness in general and Alzheimer’s disease in particular are the leading causes of death and disability globally. Long associated with affluent Western standards of living, NCDs are now a global problem. While rich countries are better equipped to deal with chronic diseases, they are far more deadly in poor countries. Growing numbers of old people and the spread of middle-class lifestyles make NCDs more prevalent than infectious diseases. Globalization also contributes to the growth of NCDs by helping expand the global middle class and by promoting fast foods, sugary drinks, alcohol, smoking, processed foods, and sedentary lifestyles. A major global health threat that undermines efforts to cure diseases is the emergence of germs that are resistant to antibiotics. This is due mainly to the excessive use of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture.
Infectious diseases are intertwined with numerous global issues and are inseparable from political, economic, and cultural components of globalization. Ethnic conflicts make populations vulnerable to infectious diseases. Fighting contributes to the collapse of public services, which means that many people die from what would ordinarily be treatable diseases, such as diarrhea and respiratory infections. Conflicts also create refugees, overcrowding, and unsanitary conditions, thereby creating environments conducive to the spread of infectious diseases.
Environmental degradation and deforestation expose humans to a variety of infectious diseases. They also contribute to global warming and flooding,.
Scapegoating is a theory of prejudice and discrimination. Societ.docxtodd331
Scapegoating is a theory of prejudice and discrimination. Society looks at the weakest group, and places blame on that group for all ills. That group then becomes the bottom level of society. We've seen this over the past 18 months. Illegal immigrants have been blamed for many issues, in particular crime and unemployment rates. Yet, I know few in my own area who will do the jobs these folks do every day. As for crime, please see the link below for a journal article that addresses this issue. Most crimes committed by immigrants without papers are misdemeanors.

Discussion 3.2: Hypothesis Test Tag Team
Corporate Responsibility 8;
The Social Responsibility of Business Is
to Increase Its Profits
Milton Friedman
When I hear businessmen speak eloquently
about the “social responsibilities of business
in a free-enterprise system,” I am reminded
of the wonderful line about the Frenchman
who discovered at the age of 70 that he had
been speaking prose all his life. The busi
nessmen believe that they are defending free
enterprise when they declaim that business
is not concerned “merely” with profit but
also with promoting desirable “social” ends;
that business has a “social conscience” and
takes seriously its responsibilities for provid
ing employment, eliminating discrimina
tion, avoiding pollution and whatever else
may be the catchwords of the contemporary
crop of reformers. In fact they are—or
would be if they or anyone else took them
seriously—preaching pure and unadulter
ated socialism. Businessmen who talk this
way are unwitting puppets of the intellectual
forces that have been undermining the basis
of a free society these past decades.
The discussions of the “social responsibil
ities of business” are notable for their analyt
ical looseness and lack of rigor. What does it
mean to say that “business” has responsibili
ties? Only people can have responsibilities.
A corporation is an artificial person and in
this sense may have artificial responsibili
ties, but “business” as a whole cannot be said
to have responsibilities, even in this vague
sense. The first step toward clarity in ex
amining the doctrine of the social responsi
bility of business is to ask precisely what it
implies for whom.
Presumably, the individuals who are to be
responsible are businessmen, which means
individual proprietors or corporate execu
tives. Most of the discussion of social respon
sibility is directed at corporations, so in what
follows I shall mostly neglect the individual
proprietors and speak of corporate execu
tives.
In a free-enterprise, private-property sys
tem, a corporate executive is an employee of
the owners of the business. He has direct re
sponsibility to his employers. That responsi
bility is to conduct the business in accord
ance with their desires, which generally will
be to make as much money as possible while
conforming to the basic rules of the society,
both those embodied in law and those em
bodied in ethical custom. Of course, in some
cases his employers may have a different ob
jective. A group of persons might establish a
corporation for an eleemosynary purpose—
for example, a hospital or a school. The
manager of such a corporation will not have
money profit as his objectives but the ren
dering of certain services.
In either case,.

Application Assignment 2: Part 2 - Developing an Advocacy Campaign
The following application, Part 2, will be due in Week 7.
To prepare:
· Review Chapter 3 of Health policy and politics: A nurse’s guide.
· In the first assignment, you reflected on whether the policy you would like to promote could best be achieved through the development of new legislation, or a change in an existing law or regulation. Refine as necessary using any feedback from your first paper.
· Contemplate how existing laws or regulations may affect how you proceed in advocating for your proposed policy.
· Consider how you could influence legislators or other policymakers to enact the policy you propose.
· Think about the obstacles of the legislative process that may prevent your proposed policy from being implemented as intended.
·
To complete:
Part Two will have approximately 3–4 pages of content plus a title page and references. Part Two will address the following:
· Explain whether your proposed policy could be enacted through a modification of existing law or regulation or the creation of new legislation/regulation.
· Explain how existing laws or regulations could affect your advocacy efforts. Be sure to cite and reference the laws and regulations using primary sources.
· Provide an analysis of the methods you could use to influence legislators or other policymakers to support your policy. In particular, explain how you would use the “three legs” of lobbying in your advocacy efforts.
· Summarize obstacles that could arise in the legislative process and how to overcome these hurdles.
Milstead: 3 Legs of Lobbying
“According to Milstead (2013), Leg One of the Three-Legged Stool consists of lobbying which is the act of influencing – the art of persuading-a government entity. “Legislators often rely on lobbyists’ expertise to help them understand what they are voting for or against.” (Milstead, 2013, p. 53). Local State Representatives should be targeted as a champion for the bill and that’s likely where an average voter can begin for their voice to be heard at the local and state levels.Leg Two of the Three-Legged Stool also includes the grassroots lobbyists. The AmericanNurses Association often spear-heads lobbying efforts in the best interest of the public on healthcare related issues and has a strong history of working with Congress on these important issues. “Grassroots lobbyists are constituents who have the power to elect officials through their vote and have expertise and knowledge about a particular issue (such as nurses in healthcare reform debates)” (Milstead, 2013, p. 54). Nurses can become a member of the American Nurses Association or other associations to ensure nurses have a voice on these important issues”

Chapter 13:The Bureaucracy
ADA Text Version
Learning Objectives
1. Describe the formal organization of the federal bureaucracy.
2. Classify the vital functions performed by the bureaucracy.
3. Explain the present Civil Service system and contrast it with the 19th century spoils system.
4. Identify the various factors contributing to bureaucracy's growth over time.
5. Compare the means by which Congress and the president attempt to maintain control over the bureaucracy.
6. Analyze and evaluate the problems that bureaucratic organization poses for American democracy.
Introduction
The very word "bureaucracy" often carries negative connotations. To refer to an institution as a "bureaucracy" or characterize it as "bureaucratic" is usually intended as an insult. But the national bureaucracy, sometimes called the "fourth branch of government", is responsible for practically all of the day-to-day work of governing the country. While bureaucracy in the United States, consistent with our tradition of more limited government, is smaller than its counterparts in other longstanding democracies, its influence extends to almost every corner of American society. From delivery of the mail to regulation of the stock market to national defense, federal employees plan, regulate, adjudicate, enforce, and implement federal law. Despite recurrent calls to "shrink" the size of government, the federal bureaucracy remains the largest single employer in the United States. This lesson examines the bureaucracy's formal organization, its critical role in the American economy and society, and its perceived weaknesses.
Study Questions
1. How did sociologist Max Weber define bureaucracy?
2. Identify the various functions federal bureaucracies perform giving at least one example each:
a. Implementation
b. Regulation

d. Enforcement
e. Policy-making
3. How many people does the federal government employ? For what percentage of GDP does federal spending account? How does this compare to other economically advanced democracies?
4. Classify and distinguish the major types of bureaucracy in the federal government:
a. Cabinet Departments
b. Independent Agencies
c. Independent Regulatory Commissions
d. Government Corporations
5. How does the federal bureaucracy select and recruit personnel? Contrast the present civil service system with the spoils system. What advantages does the present system provide?
6. What factors explain the growth of bureaucracy over time despite recurrent calls for limiting the size of government?
7. Identify those factors in the budget process making it difficult to cut bureaucratic funding.
8. Describe the way Congress authorizes funding for the federal bureaucracy.
9. How does Congress attempt to control the federal bureaucracy?
10. How does the president attempt to control the federal bureaucracy?

TABLE 2.2 Connecting Knowledge of Development and Learning to Teaching Practices
Principles of Child Development and Learning
Developmentally Appropriate Teaching Practices
Children develop holistically
• Teachers plan daily activities and routines to address aesthetic, emotional, cognitive, language, physical, and social development.
• Teachers integrate learning across the curriculum (e.g., mixing language, physical, and social; combining math, science, and reading).
Child development follows an orderly sequence
• Teachers use their knowledge of developmental sequences to gauge whether children are developing as expected, to determine reasonable expectations, and to plan next steps in the learning process.
Children develop at varying rates
• Teachers give children opportunities to pursue activities at their own pace.
• Teachers repeat activities more than once so children can participate according to changing needs and abilities.
• Teachers plan activities with multiple learning objectives to address the needs of more and less advanced learners.
Children learn best when they feel safe and secure
• Teachers develop nurturing relationships with children and remain with children long enough so children can easily identify a specific adult from whom to seek help, comfort, attention, and guidance.
• Daily routines are predictable. Changes in routine are explained in advance so children can anticipate what will happen.
• There is two-way communication between teachers and families, and families are welcome in the program.
• Children have access to images, objects, and activities that reflect their home experiences.
• The early childhood environment complies with all safety requirements.
• Adults use positive discipline to enhance children’s self-esteem, self-control, and problem-solving abilities.
• Teachers address aggression and bullying calmly, firmly, and proactively.
Children are active learners
• Activities, transitions, and routines respect children’s attention span, need for activity and need for social interaction. Inactive segments of the day are short.
• Children participate in gross motor activities every day.
Children learn through a combination of physical experience, social experience, and reflection
• Adults encourage children to explore and investigate. They pose questions, offer information, and challenge children’s thinking.
• Children have many chances to document and reflect on their ideas.
Children learn through mastery and challenge
• Practitioners simplify, maintain, or extend activities in response to children’s functioning and comprehension.
Children’s learning profiles vary
• Teachers present the same information in more than one modality (seeing, hearing, touching) and through different types of activities.
• Children have opportunities to play on their own and with others; indoors and outdoors; with natural and manufactured materials.

Human Impact on the Environment
Every day, I see the harmful impacts of humans on the environment. Just 13 percent of the globe’s oceans remain unsoiled by humanity’s damaging impacts (Carrington, 2018). In the remotest poles and Pacific areas, most of the ocean has no natural marine wildlife. Pollution, huge fishing fleets, and global shipping along with climate change are all degrading the oceans. The vehicles we drive every day, industrial wastes, overpopulation, and fossil fuels, all have negative effects on the environment. Human activities are negatively affecting the environment by degrading it and sooner or later, the earth will not be able to sustain humans.
Overpopulation is now an epidemic with decreased mortality rates, improved medicine, and food sustainability. We are living longer, which is increasing population. The impact of overpopulation includes environmental degradation due to cutting down of trees to create space. With less trees to filter the air, an increase in carbon dioxide levels is damaging every single organism (Interesting Engineering, 2019). Another effect of overpopulation is overdependence on fossil fuels such as coal and oil, which emit plentiful carbon oxide into the air. With increased population, humans need more space, which damage ecosystems and augment carbon dioxide emissions.
Pollution is another impact of human activities on the environment. From trash, industrial wastes to carbon dioxide emissions into the air, pollutions is inevitable. Over 2.4 billion individuals have no access to sources of clean water. Human activities continue to deplete indispensable resources such as soil, water, and air. United States, for example, produces 147 million metric tons of air pollution annually (Interesting Engineering, 2019). Air quality in developing nations continues to plummet as well. This means that we are engaging in activities that are hurting the environment.
Global warming is one of the greatest causes of environmental degradation contributed by human activities. Some people do not believe that global warming is real. However, that is not true, and its major contributors include carbon dioxide emissions from respiration, deforestation, and burning fossil fuels. Each year, we continue to contribute to levels of carbon dioxide globally. Current levels exceed 400 PPM, and the rise in carbon dioxide emissions are attributed to an increase in global temperatures (Interesting Engineering, 2019). The result is the melting of arctic glaciers and land ice, which will increase sea levels, and have negative effects on oceanic life.
Climate change is another impact on the environment that is being caused by us. It is linked .

Research Summary (paper)
For this assignment you summarize one of the experimental research studies from your research collection.
(I did not make one, feel free to choose any research that has to do with psychology.)
Check out Audris Oh's research summary I put in the files -- it's a great model.
Write your summary in 5 pages or so, basically summarizing each of the major sections - literature review, methods section, results section and discussion. Let the abstract at the beginning of the paper guide you (It's just one paragraph but is a great guide). Why was the study done and how does it fit in with other work in the field (the intro or lit review)? What was the actual experiment (the methods section)? What were the results (the results section)? Why is it important (the discussion section)? Conclude your paper with a personal reaction -- does this fit with what you’ve seen? How might you use any insight the study provides?
Include the pdf of the article (or link to it) and the reference to the article in APA style. Here's an example of a reference:

Review
Mendel’s paper ‘Versuche über Pflanzen-Hybriden’ is the
best known in a series of studies published in the late 18th
and 19th centuries that built our understanding of the
mechanism of inheritance. Mendel investigated the seg-
regation of seven gene characters of pea (Pisum sativum),
of which four have been identified. Here, we review what
is known about the molecular nature of these genes,
which encode enzymes (R and Le), a biochemical regula-
tor (I) and a transcription factor (A). The mutations are: a
transposon insertion (r), an amino acid insertion (i), a
splice variant (a) and a missense mutation (le-1). The
nature of the three remaining uncharacterized characters
(green versus yellow pods, inflated versus constricted
pods, and axial versus terminal flowers) is discussed.

STANDARIZATION OF A BASE
AND TITRATION OF A VINEGAR SOLUTION
ADDITIONAL READING
The concepts in this experiment are also discussed in sections 3.6 AND 17.3 of Chemistry and Chemical Reactivity by
Kotz, Treichel, Townsend and Treichel, and in sections 4.3b, 17.3a, and 17.3b of Mindtap General Chemistry by Vining,
Young, Day, and Botch
ABSTRACT
This experiment is divided into two parts. Each student is expected to perform the experiment individually.
In Part A, you will prepare a NaOH titrant solution, then standardize it (determine its exact concentration) using the acid
primary standard, potassium hydrogen phthalate, KHC8H4O4, frequently abbreviated as KHP. Note KHP is not a chemical
formula.
In Part B you will use your standardized NaOH solution to determine the molar concentration of vinegar (an acetic acid,
CH3COOH, solution), and convert this concentration unit to a mass percent concentration unit, and finally compare your
measured mass percent concentration to the value reported on the bottle.
BACKGROUND
TITRATIONS
One of the most useful strategies in analytical chemistry is to use a known reagent (known composition or concentration)
as a standard to analyze an unknown substance. A titration is an analytical procedure in which a solution of known
concentration, the standard solution, is slowly reacted with a solution of unknown concentration. The concentration of
the unknown solution can be easily calculated. Titration is often used to measure the concentration of an acid or base,
but it can also be used for any chemical reaction if the stoichiometry is known.
EXPERIMENTS 6 AND 7 ARE BOTH ACID BASE TITRATION EXPERIMENTS, QUITE SIMILAR TO EACH OTHER.
THE REASONS FOR DOING TWO TITRATION EXPERIMENTS
A. TO GIVE STUDENTS PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY BOTH TO PERFECT THEIR TITRATION TECHNIQUE AND
TO LEARN TO DO THE CALCULATIONS;
B. TITRATION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TECHNIQUE LEARNED IN CHEM 1033 LAB.
YOU WILL DO A PRACTICAL LAB EXAM AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER; IT WILL BE A VERY SIMILAR
TITRATION.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT TITRATION IS AN ACQUIRED SKILL, REQUIRING PRACTICE. MOST
STUDENTS ARE NOT PROFICIENT AT FIRST, BUT IF YOU WANT TO BECOME EXPERT AT IT, YOU WILL GET
THERE WITH PRACTICE.
It is critical that there be an observable change that signals that the titration is complete. This is called the endpoint,
since it signals the end of the titration, when the equivalents of titrant added just equal the equivalents of the analyte
unknown. When performing an acid-base titration, we commonly use an acid-base indicator that has one color before the
endpoint but changes sharply to a different color at the pH of the endpoint.
Titrations are carried out using a specialized piece of glassware called a buret, which is long tube with a dispensing valve.
The buret scale has graduated marks in units of 0.01 mL or 0.02 mL. You can apply the techniques used for readi.
Scanlon Technologies, Inc. Anne Scanlon founded Scanlon Technol.docxtodd331
Scanlon Technologies, Inc.
*
Anne Scanlon founded Scanlon Technologies, Inc., in 1993. The company designed and manufactured high-tech products that were used in various industries ranging from semiconductor to aviation. Over the years, Scanlon Technologies reported a compound annual growth rate in revenues of over 20% due to high demand for the company’s products and Anne’s superior management skills. By the end of 1996, it was clear that any further growth would have to come from international expansion. However, establishing manufacturing operations and opening up sales and marketing offices abroad required a significant amount of capital. Anne considered investing more of her own money into the business; however, given that she already had most of her wealth tied up in the company, she decided against the idea. Moreover, she believed that the amount of funds Scanlon Technologies needed to raise for expansion was in the tens of millions. In her mind, there was only one clear solution—go public.
In September 1996, Anne hired J.P. Suisse, a top tier investment bank, to take Scanlon Technologies public. On January 1, 1997, the company, which was authorized by the State of Delaware to sell 20 million common stock and 10 million preferred stock, issued one million shares of common stock in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol STI. The stock, which had a par value of $1, was sold for $20 per share and climbed to $26 a share by the end of its first trading day.
As expected, the funds raised in the IPO were used to open offices all over the world as well as build a second manufacturing plant in Toronto, Canada. Over the next couple of years, business was good and the company was able to generate enough cash to maintain its level of operations.
In October 1999, Anne learned that Kadehjian
Solution
s Coporation, a competitor, was considering the option of being acquired. Anne believed that such an acquisition would position Scanlon Technologies as the industry leader. One of Kadehjian’s requirements for such an acquisition was that it be an all-cash transaction. Anne knew that this would require Scanlon Technologies to raise approximately $7 million.
Ann contracted J.P. Suisse to discuss raising these funds through the capital markets. The managing directors at J.P. Suisse recommended that Scanlon Technologies employ a combination of debt and equity securities. Anne agreed and on January 1, 2000, the company issued an additional one hundred thousand shares of its $1 par value common stock at $40 per share. On the same day, the company issued $2 million in bonds at 95.8, due in 5 years with 5% interest payable annually (at year end). The market interest rate at the time was 6% per year. Also on January 1, 2000, Scanlon Technologies issued $1.3 million in zero-coupon (i.e. no interest) convertible bonds, also due in 5 years. Each $1,000 bond converted into 20 shares of its commo.

Behold that circummortal purity;
Between whose glories, there my lips I'll lay,
Ravished in that fair Via Lactea.

Lately made of flesh and blood,
Who as soon fell fast asleep
As her little eyes did peep.

Scale Ratio Variable Histograms are useful for presenting qu.docxtodd331
Scale Ratio Variable
Histograms are useful for presenting quantitative data such as the example variable ADULT_CT which describes the number of individuals per household. The variable measurement is scale ratio and as it depicts a number, a histogram is able to reflect the number of individuals belonging to each variable value or interval of values (Mishra, Pandey, Singh & Gupta, 2018).). Histograms divide the variable into equal intervals as shown below in individuals reported per home. The graph indicates nearly 3,000 reporting and displays the individual numbers per interval. The bar levels of the graph make it is easy to discern the average number reporting as 2 per household.
Nominal Variable
As nominal variables depict qualitative data such as in the variable Q87 which describes the level of trust individuals felt towards others, a pie graph would be beneficial to use as it easily displays each group or individual share in the total being examined (Mishra, Pandey, Singh & Gupta, 2018). For example, the pie graph here which shows what percentage of trust was and wasn’t felt toward others. Graphs like these are appropriate for showing a variable that cannot be ordered or numerical in value such as feelings of trust (Frankfort-Nachmias, Leon-Guerrero & Davis, 2020).

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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 ImperativePeter Windle
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.

of my ascribed status at birth, being born to poor parents, I
couldn’t afford to go to college, and even if I could, I really had
no idea of what I wanted to do with my life. I guess that as
agents of socialization, my parents did not know how to prepare

the things I never had growing up.
I truly believed that I could do anything a man could do, and
deserved to be paid the same for the same work. With this in
mind, I found a job in a manufacturing plant where I was, it
appeared, the “token” female employee. My fellow employees
were all men, and I was placed in the uncomfortable position of
having to prove that I not only could do the job, but was also
“one of the guys.” I soon came to learn that gender role
differences are apparent in the workplace. While there are the
obvious physical differences and capabilities, there are also the
differences in how each gender deals with perceived problems,
whether it is pertaining to the job at hand, or the interaction
with fellow employees. By being the only female in a male
dominated workplace, I had numerous problems to overcome.
The most prevalent one was sexual harassment. I felt that I was
treated as an “object”, one that had been hired simply to provide
enjoyment for
the men. I had been at work an hour when the first suggestive
2. remark came out. Being only 19 years old at the time, I had very
little experience with dealing with this and was completely at a
loss as to how to handle the situation. Sad to say, I handled it
exactly wrong; by losing my temper. I pointed out, in no
uncertain terms, that I was not a piece of meat and did not
appreciate his attention. This gave him the opportunity to make
another remark, this one aimed at women in the workplace in
general, which caused another outburst on my part. Needless to
say, by the end of my first day, it wouldn’t have mattered if I
had been the best machine operator to walk in the door in a long
time. By allowing this man to make me lose my temper, I had
also given them a validation of the opinions they already held:
that women didn’t belong in their line of work; they were too
emotional and physically unsuited for the work.
Nowhere in my reading was there any information on how men
were to deal with the situation. I found this to be totally unfair,
and felt that maybe it was in my power to at least educate the
men I was working with in proper work etiquette in regards to
women. Learning about sociological theories enabled me to gain
confidence and the added confidence in my manner helped me
to better handle the stress of dealing with various gender issues.
For example, we discussed how socialist feminism has its roots
in Conflict Theory proposed by Karl Marx. According to Marx,
the root of social inequality lies in the economy. This makes
sense, since women like me constantly have a harder time than
men in the workplace, for reasons that I addressed above.
I found that most of the men were actually feeling threatened by
the whole equal rights rhetoric. Feeling unsure and
uncomfortable with the idea, they tended to revert to
the patriarchy that their upbringing dictated. Like me, most of
them had been raised in families where Dad worked and Mom
stayed home with the kids. Having women move into the
workplace was just as disorienting for them as it was for the
women, and not having the skills to be able to communicate
with women only added to their sense of disorientation. I
realized that our similar upbringing reflected the Structural
3. Functional Theory, which supports the idea of everyone in
society behaving according to roles that help society function as
a whole. The disorientation represented anomie, which
Durkheim wrote results when there are too many competing
social norms.

48. used to formulate your ideas for this assignment, since these
allow you to reflect on material that we cover in a way that is
personal to you.
By the end of the semester you will have a document that
describes things about your own life, framed within sociological
theories, concepts and terminology. Submit your document
using Microsoft Word. Your final document will include a
glossary, including identified chapters, to correspond to the
sociological terms used in the body of the paper.
You will quickly see that as you write the drafts, you will be
building the socio- autobiography. You will find that the socio-
autobiography seems be writing itself, and you will gain a new
appreciation of your own experiences, as you place them in
sociological context.
The purpose of this paper is for me to share my life story from a
sociologist view. I will be covering several events throughout
my lifespan that had help shape me into the individual I am
today. I will do this by use one term per chapter that was cover
during this course. I will also be reflecting back on the weekly
discussing. There were a lot of variable thought-out my
duration.
I was born in Florida in 1971. As I look back on my life, I
recognize some of the events that help shape the person I am
49. today. The social setting of large families was the norm back
then. As it is different today, where families have few children,
I come from a family of nine children. I am the third oldest and
have to take on many different roles. Being born into an
ascribed status, I was determined to change my status from
poverty to at least middle class. As my agents of socialization,
my parents did not stress how important education; either of
them did not finish school. In my mind being successful meant
doing well in school. My life took it first major change during
the end of my fifth grade year of schooling, my parents
separated. My mother drinking increase, which I found myself
in experiencing my first role conflict between her and my
grades cause I have less time to study. I have to learned how to
balance schooling with help taking care of my sibling; so I
guess you can, as that was also my status change from sister to
partial care provider. This was a difficult time for me being the
second oldest daughter. My older sister escapes this
responsible. For some reason our parents sent her to live with
our father parents in Cordele, Georgia. I always felt I got the
short end of the stick. I have to make sacrifice but she did not.
And still today I am look at being the oldest of nine when I am
actually the third oldest.
My mother passed right after my 11th birthday, this was
depressing, and it caused me a state of anomie. I was angry with
both of my parents more so with my father, I felt he let me
50. down as a father so I held him responsible for her death. I felt
confused and engaged in irresponsible behaviors, such as hang
out late nights and doing unspeakable things. I was annoyed
with the world and did not know how to process the grief I was
in this probably why I became a social deviance. Fortunately, I
moved from Florida to Georgia to stay with grandparents, a
move that helped in my social construction. The distance from
my peers helped me desist from irresponsible traits; my
grandmother had a way of telling educational and insightful
stories that instilled good life values in me. To date, I still
practice the values my grandmother taught me and have instilled
in my friends and siblings.
My social network in Georgia was my family. We were surround
with uncles, aunts, and cousins. This was the first time I lived
in a neighborhood were everyone was family. It was strange at
first but I learned how to adapt. My friends were my cousins.
We did everything together. It was like a close and tight
community until tragic strike again. We had grown secure and
strong with my grandmother only for her to pass on when I was
at the age of sixteen. The demise of my grandmother was a big
blow to me as it caused an immense culture shock in my life, I
questioned life and became skeptical of the things and people
around me. The strong pillars of my life, my mom and
grandmother were taken away; leaving a huge void that affected
how I viewed life onwards. Due to the culture shock, I decided
51. to be emotionless and brave, which made me overcome life
hurdles to date.
I moved backed to Florida to stay with father and his new wife.
I understood he needed a life companion and it was one of the
norms for people to be married even after their partner passed
on. My father new wife did not want to take of eight children.
My oldest was grown and married when grandmother passed.
So, once again I had to take on the role as partial care provider.
As previously education was not stressed as necessary in our
household because of different ideologies and culture lag. My
father had grown up in a family background that did not identify
well with education; his new wife was also uneducated. The two
had a culture lag in matters of education; their ideologies were
about working hard and not committing to distractions like
education.
I was fortunate enough to convince my father on the essence of
education, and he supported me all through. I graduated in 1989
fighting the setbacks in my life with a positivist sociology
mindset; it helped me to keep focus. Socialization was exciting
to me, and I ensured I made new friends. I earned a one-
semester scholarship that I thought would have helped with my
52. consumerism since I would save my funds. Instead, I decided to
join the military; this was mainly due to the media, it portrayed
the military as an honorable career. Media also helped throw
light on gender roles, which allowed me to pursue the male-
dominated career. I served a total of 22 years of military
service.
My first duty station was Germany where I enjoyed a foreign
national status; I always wanted to travel and experience a new
culture. First time being away from family was an exciting
experience for me. I felt I was on my way of making my dream
come true about middle class. I travel and visited several
Europe countries while I was stationed there.
I became pregnant and was married in 1991 in Denmark. One
year unto my marriage I discovered that I was not in a dyad. We
seek marriage counseling to save our current lifestyle because
of our child. Regrettably, the marriage counseling did not help
much. We later ask our pastor to be the mediator; however due
to many conflicts we could not workout, we divorced in 1994. I
was determined did not get married again because of the lack of
trust I developed toward the opposite sex.
My second duty station would be Elpaso, Texas, which was a
line unit that consists of more males than female. Unlike my
first duty station, which was a not, a line unit that consists of
53. more female and males equality conditions was not granted to
me. I have to prove that I can be just a good as my male
counterparts.
My third duty station would be Augusta, Georgia. This is where
I meet my second husband. We dated for six months and before
he asks me to marry him. This was a very hard decision for me
because he was of a different race. And I was worry about my
family not accepting him. Even though, my family never
displayed racism I was still mull over. I was also bearing in
mind about our children future as well. Being be of an
interracial family how would life be for them. And also they
would always be thought of as African American because of the
one-drop rule. I gave in and remarried in 1995 as a result of the
reflection theory; I wanted to have a united family that would
see us grow into the future. Therefore, I thought hard and
settled for a partner who has held my hand since then.
My second child was born in 1996. Two years later I was
assigned to South Korea on an unaccompanied tour for one year;
my third duty station. This was one of my hardest duty station
the first time being separated from my children. I contemplated
about ending my career in the military. But six months into my
tour it got easier and I was granted mid tour leave which help a
lot. I found after this separation the next ones came much
54. easier.
My second son was born at my fourth duty station, which was in
Killen, Texas. I was untied with my family there. I was
prejudice by my male peer because I was a female. I last female
that held my current slot lack the drive. I had to proved that I
was not her and do not judge me before you know me. I was
now in charge a Logistical Warehouse. I have 34 soldiers that
fall under my supervisor once they were release by the Platoon
Sergeant; he was my peer. The first Platoon run was to rest me.
The Platoon Sergeant lost over half his soldiers’ trying to out
run me. Let say; I did not have anymore problem with this male
peer for the rest of my tour there after our first run.
My fifth duty station would be Germany again. I have the
opportunity to revisit so of my favorite places the second time
around. I love sharing these experiences with my family. It felt
good to know that I was open their eyes to different culture and
how our culture compare to others culture. This help me validity
what type of example I was setting for why children.
My sixth duty station would be Honolulu, Hawaii. This was my
long I place assignment due to all the deployments. I was
deployed three times from Hawaii to a combat zone for over 15
months each time. This was not good for my marriage or my
children. We are had to adjust to me coming and going
55. sometime without knowing for how long. After my last
deployment I was great ill. I was always on sick role. Two years
later I retired from the military with an honorable discharge.
Life was pretty much normal until last year. My older brother
was diagnose with stomach cancer and was given six months to
live. He was the first to pass away out of the nine of us. He was
48 years old. I took with very hard. I did not think I was going
to be able to recover from such a terrific event. I start going
back to church and seek help from the pastor to help me
understand and cope with this lost.
In conclusion my lifespan have experience several trajectories,
main events, and turning points.
