Scenario: The following information was relayed during an evening news broadcast. Law enforcement officers arrived to the scene of an alleged robbery during a community festival. The festival was held in the historic district of the community and was hosted by the historic district’s neighborhood association. The festival incorporated numerous activities that fully engaged participants in arts and crafts, use of technology, sampling of various food items, and the handling of various wares. The festival provided a variety of activities, so it attracted attendees from throughout the world. Thus, the festival was usually full of nonstop activity from the time it began in the morning until it ended in the evening. When the policemen arrived on scene, the festival appeared to have stopped. People were standing around in small clusters and watching a group of suspects that had been forced to sit down in the middle of a stage that was previously used for performing music groups. The festival security informed law enforcement that security had apprehended the suspects after several vendors reported that the suspects had taken their wares from the display tables without purchasing them. The vendors reported that when they confronted the suspects, the individuals fled the scene with the wares. The festival security also informed the policemen that when they apprehended the suspects, they had none of the reportedly missing wares in their possession. While the festival security personnel were briefing law enforcement on the situation, several of the suspects’ relatives entered the scene and asked why the suspects were detained. A police officer overheard one suspect who told a relative that the detention was a result of taking wares from the vendors without payment. The policeman also overheard the suspect telling the relative to pay the vendors for the missing wares in hopes that no charges would be filed. Based on the information that the law enforcement officer overheard, the suspects were taken into custody. During the transport to the local jail, several of the suspects engaged in casual conversation with the police officers and provided some details as to their whereabouts before, during, and after their apprehension. The law enforcement officers then booked the suspects, took them into an interrogation room, and read them the Miranda rights. All of the suspects requested legal counsel and refused to answer any of the investigators’ questions. .

Syrian refugee children arrested and beaten(tm) for
carrying toy guns in Greece
The Independent (London, England)
Five Syrian refugee children have been arrested and detained in
Greece after they were found carrying plastic toy guns on their way to
perform in a children's play.
The boys, aged between 12 and 16, were seized "on suspicion
of being members of an armed group", and then allegedly detained, beaten
and forced to strip naked.
International organisations have since condemned Greek police over
the alleged misconduct. Amnesty International has accused Greek officers of
committing human rights violations against children, describing the incident
as "disturbing", while Save the Children said the incident served
as a "reminder of the risks child refugees are facing every day in
Greece".
The children, who were due to perform in a production about the
Syrian conflict at a local cultural centre, were carrying their costumes and
toy guns in a carrier bag when they were detained on the afternoon of 27
September.
They were stopped and searched by four police officers on
motorbikes, who then called more officers for support.The children were then
taken to Omonoia police station along with two older Syrian refugees, aged 24
and 21, who had been walking to the cultural centre with them.
The children(tm)s lawyer, Electra Koutra, has given an account of
how the children said they were ill-treated in custody, verbally abused and
forced to undress by two police officers.
Ms Kourta wrote in her full account published on Facebook:
"The children were taken to a secluded room by two policemen, where they
were asked to undress completely. When two of them refused to remove their
underwear, police exercised physical violence on them, after which the one
succumbed and removed it, while the other continued to object and, as a
result, had his underwear forcibly removed.
"A third child also suffered physical violence, was made to
bend while naked and four were asked to turn around themselves while naked
more than once, so that the policemen would have the chance to have a good
presentation and look of their child bodies and genitals.
"The last child in the row started crying and asking for his
mother. The others advised him to undress, in order to not get beaten too.
After that, they were asked to dress and were subsequently photographed by
use of a policeman(tm)s cellphone, as a group and each one separately.
"They remained in a state of deprivation of freedom for more
than six hours, amongst adult drug users and criminal abductors. As for
water, they were advised, when they begged for it, to go drink directly from
the police station(tm)s toilet which was impossible to approach because of
the filth and odour. They were not allowed to use their cellphones for
calling their parents."
After the children were released, volunteers reportedly asked
police how they could report the incident, but were turned away. Later the

Report Overview
In this assignment, you will
Document and reflect on your university education and on learning experiences outside of the university;
Articulate how your upper-level coursework is an integrated and individualized curriculum built around your interests; and
Highlight the experiences, skills, and projects that show what you can do.
A successful report submission will be the product of many hours of work over several weeks.
A report earning maximum available points will be a carefully curated and edited explanation of your work that provides tangible evidence of—and insights into—your competencies and capabilities over time. In each section of this report, you are (1) telling a story about your own abilities, and (2) providing specific examples and evidence that illustrate and support your claims.
✍
Required Report Sections
Here the sections are listed as they must appear in your final graded submission. You’ll arrange the sections in this order when
submitting
the final report BUT you won’t follow this order when
writing
drafts of each section.
Note that each section description contains a Pro Tip that tells you how to proceed with the work – what to attempt first, second, and third, etc.
❖ I. Statement of Purpose ❖
Step 1.
Read these four very different
examples of successful Statement of Purpose sections
.
Step 2.
Consider the differences in tone, style, level of detail etc. Your own statement of purpose may resemble one of these. Indeed, writing a first draft based on an example or combination of examples is a good idea. BUT don’t let these examples limit your thinking or personal expression. You may want to begin with a quote from a famous person, use a quote from your mom, or skip the quote. You may want to discuss your personal motivations or get right down to the facts. You may want to list your classes or discuss how your work-life led you to this path.
Step 3.
Write a rough draft – let’s call that Statement of Purpose 1.0. Write Statement of Purpose 1.0 as quickly as you can and then put it away until after you have completed most of the report. Forget about Statement of Purpose 1.0 until most of your report is at least in draft form.
Step 4.
Once you have a draft of all sections of your report, you are in a good position to revise Statement of Purpose 1. You are ready for Step 4. Take Statement of Purpose 1.0 out its dusty vault and hold it up to the sun. Ah. Now read your report draft and compare it to the claims you made in Statement of Purpose 1.0. Ask yourself these questions:
Does Statement of Purpose 1.0. accurately introduce my report?
Are there important ideas or representative experiences in the report that should be highlighted in the Statement of Purpose but aren’t? Remember this isn’t a treasure hunt where its your reader’s job to figure out what matters. It’s your job to show the reader what matters.
If Statement of Purpose 1.0. isn’t the best map it can be for th.

■ Research Paper
General Systems Theory: Its Past and
Potential†
Peter Caws1,2*
1Department of Philosophy, The George Washington University, Washington, DC, USA
2American Association for the Advancement of Science, Washington, DC, USA
This paper has three parts. First, I discuss what I take as the original stimulus and the pur-
pose of general systems theory (GST) to be, why I think it is important, and how I came to
be involved in it. I reflect on von Bertalanffy’s general system (sic) theory and the early
debates on the topic, stressing the essential concept of isomorphism, with its rewards in
following up parallel developments in different domains, and its risks and temptations
in the projection of grand and all-inclusive systems. Second, I discuss the direction my
own work took after my term as President of the Society for General Systems Research
(1966–1967), and how it diverged from the early program, in particular in its emphasis
on the difference between system and structure and on the essential role of individual
subjectivity in the latter. I stress the importance of the concept of ‘relation’ as underlying
that of ‘system’, and in particular the difference between relations as embodied in physical
systems and relations as components of intentional structures that may or may not corre-
spond to physical systems. In the third and final part, I discuss the place of GST in the
philosophy of science, especially in connection with the unity of science movement, and
its potential for the organization of this domain. I ask what light the concept of system
can throw on our knowledge of the universe and its worlds (a distinction explained in
the paper), and what the risks are of assuming tight isomorphisms between mathematical
structures and physical systems, for example, in cosmology and quantum mechanics.

Your paraphrase can be as long as the excerpt you have chosen, but should not duplicate any phrasing from the excerpt. If you must, you can quote up to three words in a phrase.
Choose to paraphrase ONE of the excerpts below:
Option 1
Morrison began writing Sula in 1969, a time of great activism among African Americans and others who were working toward equal civil rights and opportunities. The book addresses issues of racism, bigotry, and suppression of African Americans; it depicts the despair people feel when they can't get decent jobs, and the determination of some to survive. Eva, for example, cuts off her leg in order to get money to raise her family. Morrison shows how, faced with racist situations, some people had to grovel to whites simply to get by, as Helene does on a train heading through the South. Others, however, fought back, as Sula does when she threatens some white boys who are harassing her and Nel.
or
Option 2
In 1993, Morrison was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, and thus became the first African American and only the eighth woman ever to win the award. According to Maureen O'Brien in Publishers Weekly, Morrison said, "What is most wonderful for me personally is to know that the Prize has at last been awarded to an African American. I thank God that my mother is alive to see this day." In 1996, she received the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

••• JONATHAN LETHEM CRITICS OFTEN USE the word prolifi.docx
•••
JONATHAN LETHEM
CRITICS OFTEN USE the word prolific to describe Jonathan Lethem. He has published
nine novels, five collections of stories, two essay volumes, a novella, and a comic
book. But a better word for him might be protean. In the religion of the ancient
Greeks, Proteus was a god of the sea who presided over unexpected change, a
power that gave him the ability to alter .his shape whenever humans tried to
compel him to foretell events. Like the mythical Proteus, Lethem is a shape-shifter
whose work threads across boundaries of all kinds-the boundaries between detective
:fiction, for example, and the "serious" literature of ideas. What Lethem has written
about New York might be said to encapsulate his view of both life and art:
To live in Manhattan is to be persistently amazed at the worlds squirreled
inside one another, like those lines of television cable and fresh water and
steam heat and outgoing sewage and telephone wire and whatever else
which cohabit in the same intestinal holes that pavement-demolishing
workmen periodically wrench open. . . . We only pretend to live on
something as orderly as a grid.
For Lethem, the writer's task is to look beneath the reassuring surface. He
believes the truth is seldom found by stopping with the obvious or respecting
conventions. Indeed, he sees the act of writing as fundamentally promiscuous.
Perhaps it is not at all surprising that Lethem would have some unexpected
ideas about what it means to be creative. Normally we think of creativity as the
ability to say or do something completely original, but the isolation implied by this
belief strikes Lethem as unappealing. Instead, he celebrates what he calls the
"ecstasy of influence." If we wish, we can treat words, ideas, and images as some
body's private property, but we can also view them as available for everyone to
use. Nothing, he suggests, is totally original: everything is bound up with every
thing else, if not on the surface, then underneath, like the "lines of television cable
and fresh water" hidden by the "grid." Once we give up the idea of the private
ownership of culture, writing and thinking take on a new life, as acts of generosity
that place us in debt to everyone who .has made our creativity possible.

A National Profile of
the Real Estate Industry and
the Appraisal Profession
by J. Reid Cummings and Donald R. Epley, PhD, MAI, SRA
FEATURES
T
J- he
he real estate industry has been devastated on many fronts' in the years
following the Great Recession, whieh began in 2007^ due to the bursting of the
housing bubble and the subsequent finaneial crisis relating to the mortgage
market meltdown.' The implosion of the mortgage markets initially began when
two Bear Stearns mortgage-backed securities hedge funds, holding nearly $10
billion in assets, disintegrated into nothing.* Panie quickly spread to financial
institutions that could not hide the extent of their toxic, subprime exposures, and
a massive, worldwide credit squeeze ensued; outright fear soon replaced panic.
Subsequent eredit tightening and substantial illiquidity in the financial markets
rapidly and severely affected the housing and construction markets.' Throughout
the United States, properties of all kinds saw dramatic value declines.
In thousands of cases, real estate foreclosures disrupted people's lives,
forced businesses to close, eaused financial institutions to falter, capsized wbole
market segments, devastated entire industries, and squeezed municipal and state
government budgets dependent upon use and property tax revenues.* While the
effeets of property value declines and the waves of foreclosures in markets across
the country captured most of the headlines, one significant impact of the upheaval
in US real estate markets has gone largely unreported: its impact on employment
in the real estate industry, and specifically, the real estate appraisal profession.
This article presents a
current employment
profile of the US real
estate industry, with
special attention given
to appraisal profes-
sionals. It serves as an
informative picture of
the appraisal profession
for use as a benchmark
for future assessment
of growth. As a
component of the real
estate industry, the
appraisal profession
ranks as the smallest
in employment, is
highly correlated to
movements in empioy-
ment of brokers and
agents, and relies on
commerciai banking,
credit, and real estate
lessors and managers
to deliver its products.

Let us consider […] a pair of cases which I shall call Rescue .docx
“Let us consider […] a pair of cases which I shall call Rescue I and Rescue II. In the first Rescue story we are hurrying in our jeep to save some people – let there be five of them – who are imminently threatened by the ocean tide. We have not a moment to spare, so when we hear of a single person who also needs rescuing from some other disaster we say regretfully that we cannot rescue him, but must leave him to die. To most of us, this seems clear […]. This is Rescue I and with it I contrast Rescue II. In this second story we are again hurrying to the place where the tide is coming in in order to rescue the party of people, but this time it is relevant that the road is narrow and rocky. In this version, the lone individual is trapped (do not ask me how) on the path. If we are to rescue the five we would have to drive over him. But can we do so? If we stop he will be all right eventually: he is in no danger unless from us. But of course, all five of the others will be drowned. As in the first story, our choice is between a course of action that will leave one man dead and five alive at the end of the day and a course of action which will have the opposite result. (Philippa Foot, “Killing and Letting Die,” from Abortion and Legal Perspectives, eds. Garfield and Hennessey, 2004, University of Massachusetts Press)
1. What would Mill tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his theory of utilitarianism? Be clear in explaining Mill’s recommendation, and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
o The Principle of Utility and how it would specifically apply in this situation—who gets “counted” and how?
2. What would Kant tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his deontological theory? Be clear in explaining Kant’s recommendation and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
o The first version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in these two situations (hint, you have to say what the maxim would be and what duty would be generated according to it).
o The second version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in this situation.
3. Explain one criticism of both Mill and Kant. Afterward, argue for which ethical approach, on your view is superior. Be specific and provide reasons for your claim.

General Systems Theory: Its Past and
Potential†
Peter Caws1,2*
1Department of Philosophy, The George Washington University, Washington, DC, USA
2American Association for the Advancement of Science, Washington, DC, USA
This paper has three parts. First, I discuss what I take as the original stimulus and the pur-
pose of general systems theory (GST) to be, why I think it is important, and how I came to
be involved in it. I reflect on von Bertalanffy’s general system (sic) theory and the early
debates on the topic, stressing the essential concept of isomorphism, with its rewards in
following up parallel developments in different domains, and its risks and temptations
in the projection of grand and all-inclusive systems. Second, I discuss the direction my
own work took after my term as President of the Society for General Systems Research
(1966–1967), and how it diverged from the early program, in particular in its emphasis
on the difference between system and structure and on the essential role of individual
subjectivity in the latter. I stress the importance of the concept of ‘relation’ as underlying
that of ‘system’, and in particular the difference between relations as embodied in physical
systems and relations as components of intentional structures that may or may not corre-
spond to physical systems. In the third and final part, I discuss the place of GST in the
philosophy of science, especially in connection with the unity of science movement, and
its potential for the organization of this domain. I ask what light the concept of system
can throw on our knowledge of the universe and its worlds (a distinction explained in
the paper), and what the risks are of assuming tight isomorphisms between mathematical
structures and physical systems, for example, in cosmology and quantum mechanics.

Your paraphrase can be as long as the excerpt you have chosen, but should not duplicate any phrasing from the excerpt. If you must, you can quote up to three words in a phrase.
Choose to paraphrase ONE of the excerpts below:
Option 1
Morrison began writing Sula in 1969, a time of great activism among African Americans and others who were working toward equal civil rights and opportunities. The book addresses issues of racism, bigotry, and suppression of African Americans; it depicts the despair people feel when they can't get decent jobs, and the determination of some to survive. Eva, for example, cuts off her leg in order to get money to raise her family. Morrison shows how, faced with racist situations, some people had to grovel to whites simply to get by, as Helene does on a train heading through the South. Others, however, fought back, as Sula does when she threatens some white boys who are harassing her and Nel.
or
Option 2
In 1993, Morrison was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, and thus became the first African American and only the eighth woman ever to win the award. According to Maureen O'Brien in Publishers Weekly, Morrison said, "What is most wonderful for me personally is to know that the Prize has at last been awarded to an African American. I thank God that my mother is alive to see this day." In 1996, she received the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

forced businesses to close, eaused financial institutions to falter, capsized wbole
market segments, devastated entire industries, and squeezed municipal and state
government budgets dependent upon use and property tax revenues.* While the
effeets of property value declines and the waves of foreclosures in markets across
the country captured most of the headlines, one significant impact of the upheaval
in US real estate markets has gone largely unreported: its impact on employment
in the real estate industry, and specifically, the real estate appraisal profession.
This article presents a
current employment
profile of the US real
estate industry, with
special attention given
to appraisal profes-
sionals. It serves as an
informative picture of
the appraisal profession
for use as a benchmark
for future assessment
of growth. As a
component of the real
estate industry, the
appraisal profession
ranks as the smallest
in employment, is
highly correlated to
movements in empioy-
ment of brokers and
agents, and relies on
commerciai banking,
credit, and real estate
lessors and managers
to deliver its products.

Let us consider […] a pair of cases which I shall call Rescue .docx
“Let us consider […] a pair of cases which I shall call Rescue I and Rescue II. In the first Rescue story we are hurrying in our jeep to save some people – let there be five of them – who are imminently threatened by the ocean tide. We have not a moment to spare, so when we hear of a single person who also needs rescuing from some other disaster we say regretfully that we cannot rescue him, but must leave him to die. To most of us, this seems clear […]. This is Rescue I and with it I contrast Rescue II. In this second story we are again hurrying to the place where the tide is coming in in order to rescue the party of people, but this time it is relevant that the road is narrow and rocky. In this version, the lone individual is trapped (do not ask me how) on the path. If we are to rescue the five we would have to drive over him. But can we do so? If we stop he will be all right eventually: he is in no danger unless from us. But of course, all five of the others will be drowned. As in the first story, our choice is between a course of action that will leave one man dead and five alive at the end of the day and a course of action which will have the opposite result. (Philippa Foot, “Killing and Letting Die,” from Abortion and Legal Perspectives, eds. Garfield and Hennessey, 2004, University of Massachusetts Press)
1. What would Mill tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his theory of utilitarianism? Be clear in explaining Mill’s recommendation, and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
o The Principle of Utility and how it would specifically apply in this situation—who gets “counted” and how?
2. What would Kant tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his deontological theory? Be clear in explaining Kant’s recommendation and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
o The first version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in these two situations (hint, you have to say what the maxim would be and what duty would be generated according to it).
o The second version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in this situation.
3. Explain one criticism of both Mill and Kant. Afterward, argue for which ethical approach, on your view is superior. Be specific and provide reasons for your claim.

https://app.box.com/s/hqnndn05v4q5a4k4jd597rkdbda0fniiA Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.

Scenario The following information was relayed during an evening .docx
- 1. Scenario: The following information was relayed during an evening news broadcast. Law enforcement officers arrived to the scene of an alleged robbery during a community festival. The festival was held in the historic district of the community and was hosted by the historic district’s neighborhood association. The festival incorporated numerous activities that fully engaged participants in arts and crafts, use of technology, sampling of various food items, and the handling of various wares. The festival provided a variety of activities, so it attracted attendees from throughout the world. Thus, the festival was usually full of nonstop activity from the time it began in the morning until it ended in the evening. When the policemen arrived on scene, the festival appeared to have stopped. People were standing around in small clusters and watching a group of suspects that had been forced to sit down in the middle of a stage that was previously used for performing music groups. The festival security informed law enforcement that security had apprehended the suspects after several vendors reported that the suspects had taken their wares from the display tables without purchasing them. The vendors reported that when they confronted the suspects, the individuals fled the scene with the wares. The festival security also informed the policemen that when they apprehended the suspects, they had none of the reportedly missing wares in their possession. While the festival security personnel were briefing law enforcement on the situation, several of the suspects’ relatives entered the scene and asked why the suspects were detained. A police officer overheard one suspect who told a relative that the detention was a result of taking wares from the vendors without payment. The policeman also overheard the suspect telling the relative to pay the vendors for the missing wares in hopes that no charges would be filed. Based on the information that the law enforcement officer overheard, the suspects were taken into custody. During the
- 2. transport to the local jail, several of the suspects engaged in casual conversation with the police officers and provided some details as to their whereabouts before, during, and after their apprehension. The law enforcement officers then booked the suspects, took them into an interrogation room, and read them the Miranda rights. All of the suspects requested legal counsel and refused to answer any of the investigators’ questions.
