The Problem of Racism (in relation to the problem of evil which is the course topic) Course overview: "As our world has ground to a halt under the sway of a global pandemic, an ancient question troubles us anew: where do evil and suffering come from ? Do deadly diseases, natural disasters, war, conquest, slavery and genocide come about by accident or by the arbitrary actions of a few malign individuals? Or do all these forms of evil, in the ancient sense of the term, have some sort of common root? And, of course, why does God allow suffering to exist? This course will begin by attending to particular atrocities in the modern world that demand these questions be continuously re-raised, such as the current Covid-19 pandemic, the Holocaust, and racial injustice." .

The Progressive u 17 Toward the end of the oral argument in a pivotal labor case before the U.S. Supreme Court last February, Justice Sonia Sotomayor made a comment that cut to the heart of the matter. “You’re basically arguing, do away with unions,” Sotomayor said. The case, Janus v. American Feder- ation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Council 31, concerns the right of public-employee unions to collect fees from nonunion workers. The plaintiff, Mark Janus, is an Illinois state public employee who refuses to join AFSCME, which acts as the bargaining agent for rank-and-file employees in his department, and objects to having “fair-share” fees deducted from his monthly paychecks. Sotomayor’s remark was directed to Janus’s attorney William Messenger. It echoed the concerns of progressive activists across the country, who say the case poses an existential threat to public-sector unions, which rely on fair- share fees from nonmembers to defray the costs of collective bargaining and contract administration. Messenger, a staff lawyer for the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and member of the conservative Federalist Society, hemmed a bit at the justice’s bluntness, but he stuck to the central position he had advanced in his argument and briefs: that the case was about the First Amendment. He insisted that Americans have not only an affirmative right to speak but also Bill Blum is a Los Angeles lawyer and a former state of California administrative law judge who writes at Truthdig.com.

And making nonunion public employees pay fees to a union, he and others contend, amounts to compelled speech. In late June, the Supreme Court ac- cepted this reasoning and sided with Janus, ruling 5-4 that public-employee unions may not collect fair-share fees. Without these revenues, many unions believe their coffers will dry up, and their membership rolls will shrivel. .

The program reads data from two files, itemsList-0x.txt and inventoryList-0x.txt . File extensions on Linux may be arbitrary–i.e., these files could have been named with .dat as the extensions. The first file, itemsList-0x.txt , lists all possible items. Each line represents one item in the form id name . Example 1: Sample itemsList-0x.txt 0 Air 1 HP Potion 2 MP Potion 5 Iron Ore 3 Bow Tie 4 Dirt 6 Diamond Ore 7 Iron Ingot 8 Diamond 9 Diamond Block The second file, inventoryList-0x.txt , lists each individual inventory–or storage chest–followed by a list of items. Example 2: Sample inventoryList-0x.txt # 5 - 1 10 - 2 5 - 3 2 # 6 - 4 3 - 5 27 - 6 44 - 7 55 - 8 1 - 9 4 - 4 3 # 2 - 2 5 - 9 4 - 8 1 - 5 2 - 10 5 Each line preceded by # denotes the start of a new inventory. Each line preceded by - denotes an item. The program creates a new inventory each time a # is encountered. When a - is encountered, a stack of items, ItemStack, is created. The ItemStack is placed in the Inventory based on the following rules: If the Inventory is empty, store the ItemStack, and return true . If the Inventory is not empty, examine the Inventory. If a matching ItemStack is found, merge the two ItemStacks and return true . If no matching ItemStack is found, store the new ItemStack and return true . If the Inventory is full, return false . Through the magic of abstraction, this is not one function, but four (4) functions in total. Yes, it does seem unnecessary at first. However, each function does one thing and only one thing. This is an exercise in understanding the thought process behind abstraction, interfaces, and the S / O in S.O.L.I.D (with some C++ code) in a multi-ADT program. Most of your time will be spent on understanding the abstractions (and interfaces) as opposed to spamming cobblestone blocks… I mean C++ code. 3.2 Output The output consists of three reports written to standard output, one after the other. A report listing items that were stored or discarded. A report listing all valid items. Finally, a detailed report is printed. listing data for each inventory: Maximum Capacity–i.e., total slots. Utilized Capacity–i.e., occupied slots Listing of all items. If the program is run with the provided input files, the following output should be generated… Example 3: Sample Output Processing Log: Stored (10) HP Potion Stored ( 5) MP Potion Stored ( 2) Bow Tie Stored ( 3) Dirt Stored (27) Iron Ore Stored (44) Diamond Ore Stored (55) Iron Ingot Stored ( 1) Diamond Stored ( 4) Diamond Block Stored ( 3) Dirt Stored ( 5) MP Potion Stored ( 4) Diamond Block Discarded ( 1) Diamond Discarded ( 2) Iron Ore Item List: 0 Air 1 HP Potion 2 MP Potion 3 Bow Tie 4 Dirt 5 Iron Ore 6 Diamond Ore 7 Iron Ingot 8 Diamond 9 Diamond Block Storage Summary: -Used 3 of 5 slots (10) HP Potion ( 5) MP Potion ( 2) Bow Tie -Used 6 of 6 slots ( 6) Dirt.

The purpose of the Domestic Use Water Analysis is to understand the importance of water treatment for domestic use. The clear, safe, even tasteful water that flows from a water faucet has been treated by a water treatment facility. Locally, the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department is responsible for providing residents with water that poses no hazards to the consumer. In South Florida, the Biscayne Aquifer is the primary source of water for domestic and industrial use. In order for domestic water to be considered safe for human use, it must meet certain standards set by local, State, and Federal governments before the water is delivered to our homes. Routine laboratory testing for heavy metals, organic pesticides, volatile organic compounds, and pathogens that can potentially penetrate groundwater systems is critical for the health and welfare of citizens. Concentrations of hardness ions, such as calcium (Ca 2+) and magnesium (Mg 2+), as well as dissolved solids, must also be significantly reduced for domestic use. The following activity will help you assess how much water you are using (on average) as a result of your lifestyle. Note, these numbers are all estimates and are meant as discussion points to help you use personal data and apply them to concepts of domestic water use analysis and environmental science and sustainability. Water for Domestic Use · Water used at home (Drinking, Washing Clothes, Food Preparation, Yard, Toilet) · Biscayne Aquifer is the main source of water for domestic use in S. FL · Provides water for domestic use for Dade, Broward, Monroe Counties · Biscayne Aquifer = Unconfined Coastal Aquifer · Aquifer-Area where ground water exists in sufficient quantities to supply wells or springs · Confined Aquifer: Has impermeable materials lining its edges, often a deep depths · Unconfined Aquifer: Has permeable linings, often found closer to the surface · Groundwater · Stored in small spaces between rocks and soil · Important natural resource · Creates drinking water for 90% of population · Groundwater must travel through the water cycle · Continuous movement of water between the earth and the atmosphere · Water falls to earth and migrates to surface water bodies, evaporates, and is used by plants. Remaining water is absorbed by the ground can be used for domestic use. Regulations for Water for Domestic Use · Water is treated by Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department · Water for domestic use (the water that flows into your home) MUST be treated before use · In order to qualify for domestic use water must meet certain standards set by local, state, federal governments · Water often goes through testing for heavy metals, pesticides, and harmful pathogens · Water hardness (dissolved Ca2+ and Mg2+) is reduced · Drinking Water Standards · Primary: Set contamination levels for contaminants are established and must be met. · Ex.

The purpose of a personal narrative, in general, is to make an argument by telling a story from your own life. In this paper, that argument should relate to how you “came of age”. In other words, you should write a story about a personal experience you went through at some point, and show how that experience helped you change, in some way, into who you are today. Examples of significant experiences you could write about include (but certainly are not limited to): A rite of passage for a culture or group you are a part of A favorite experience growing up A horrible experience growing up A major change in your life An ethical dilemma Someone or something that influenced you A challenge you overcame An initiation that impacted your identity Things to consider: Time: do not try to write about a great expanse of time. Frame the narrative into a small period of time. Belief: Do not be afraid to create information where gaps exist in memory. Details: readers like to be informed about things they have not experienced: use action, language, emotion, facts, and figurative language. Construct a story: with a beginning, middle, and an end. This is a straight chronology. Or, use other formulas, such as starting at the end and working backwards in time. The epic formula, for instance, begins in the middle, goes into the past, and then forward to the end. Narrative writing includes description: concrete details bring the story to life. Stories offer some type of point: a value claim (an implicit thesis in personal narratives) about human experience. Ask yourself “so what?” Format Double spaced 12 point, Times New Roman font 1 inch margins 4-5 pages Last name and page numbers on the top, right-hand corner of each page .

THE PURPOSE: Knowledge: After completing this assignment, you will understand: 1) The scope and diversity of psychology as a discipline. 2) How psychologists working from different philosophical and theoretical perspectives make different contributions to our understanding of particular psychological topics. Skills: After completing this assignment, you will be able to: 1) Assess the strengths and weaknesses of various explanations for your topic. 2) Explain how the Integration and/or competition between explanations from various perspectives helps psychology advance our understanding of human behavior and mental processing. YOUR TASK: Your task is to select ONE psychological topic you find particularly interesting. This may be a topic we have covered in the course or a psychological topic we have not covered. You will then examine this topic from three different philosophical or theoretical perspectives within psychology. For example, you could examine your topic from any of the following philosophical perspectives: physiological, behavioral, cognitive, social, humanistic, evolutionary, psychoanalytic, etc). Alternatively, you could opt to examine your topic more specifically using three different theories, which may or may not differ in their philosophical perspectives. For example, imagine that you choose “bullying” as your topic. You could examine how bullying is explained from a biological, behavioral, and social perspective (three different philosophical perspectives). Alternatively, you could choose to examine how three different theories attempt to explain bullying. Two of these theories might be theories from a “social” perspective and one might be a theory from a “biological” perspective. In either case, you must utilize and cite original sources for those perspectives in your analysis/discussion. This means that you must research your topic to find three different explanations for your topic. Your analysis cannot be based on personal opinion alone. Write-up: Your write-up should begin with a general overview of your topic and the reasons why it is particularly interesting or relevant to you. This introduction should be followed by an analysis of your topic from three different philosophical or theoretical perspectives. Your analysis should demonstrate a general understanding of your topic and the fundamental principles used by each philosophical or theoretical perspective to explain that topic (using at least three academic sources outside of your textbook as source material). In addition, you should discuss whether the explanations offered by the different perspectives are complimentary to one another or contradict one another. Finally, your analysis should include your own personal reflection of these perspectives and an informed assessment of what you see as the strengths and weaknesses of each based on your research of them. THE CRITERIA: Review the grading criteria for this .
