throughout your time as a CAS student, you have been exposed to various developmental theories and practices that align with them. One way that we can connect theoretical understandings with developmentally appropriate practices is through the spaces we create for children and adolescents at-risk.
Develop a classroom or community center/plot of land floorplan where there is intentionality behind every inch of the space. Label each area with its purpose and what area of development it is meant to foster. Be specific, go beyond saying, "Cognitive, Social-emotional, Language, or Physical development". You should have a minimum of 4 pages:
1. A cover page (1 points) where you list your name, student ID, dat, "HW3" and then tell me about the space you are designing and for what age group and population.
· Ages can range from 4 year old's to 18 year old's
· Populations can range from a low-income classroom in an urban, suburban, or rural area to a targeted population (e.g., LGBTQIA+, sexual assault survivors, individuals with learning differences, undocumented youth, etc.)
· Overarching goal of the space you are creating
2. The visual (3 points) representation of the space you created with each area labeled
· You can do this with colored pencils and paper (take a picture or scan it) or on your ipad/tablets and computers using any software/program available to you.
· You can label using letters or numbers or short label names/descriptors
3. The index (4 points) for each area with
· a full name of the area & its goals
· the developmental aspect it is targeting
· through what processes specifically it is targeting that area of development
· Finally, how is it serving a buffer or protective factor for children and adolescents at risk
4. Reflection (2 points) on the process and how realistic your design would be in a school or organization with low resources.
· What 3 areas would you cut and what 2 areas would you absolutely fight to keep if budget was a barrier?
*** You do not need to be an artistic genius to do well on this assignment. It is most important to demonstrate your intentionality in curating spaces for children and adolescents at-risk. Importantly, it needs to be clear that you thought through different processes that impact development.
***There are no file format restrictions given that this is more than a writing assignment.

Research Paper Options and GuidelinesFor the individual final pa.docxmandygoatesxio0
Research Paper Options and Guidelines
For the individual final paper, students can choose one of the following four options (A, B, C, and D).
All papers should be a minimum of (6) typed pages and a maximum of (10) pages.
In addition to your 6-10 pages,
please include a title page, a table of contents, and reference pages.
At least 2/3 of the references should have been published within the last 5 years.
Papers should be in APA format, double-spaced using Times New Roman, size 12 for the font.
Option A:
The purpose of this final paper is to enhance your knowledge and understanding of normal development during adolescence or adulthood. You should select a developmental task (or tasks) appropriate for either adolescence or adulthood.
For example, the development of an identity is a task that typically occurs during adolescence in Erickson’s theory of psychosocial development. You should review the literature related to this developmental task and write a comprehensive literature review that addresses not only the traditional views and theoretical explanations for this task, but also explores non-traditional explanations as well. For example, if you choose the issue of spousal abuse, you must address the traditional views outlined in the literature which define the cause and role of battering in interpersonal relationships including the alternative view of some theorists that violence in relationships can be viewed as acceptable behavior.
In so doing, you must identify the value systems underlying both traditional and alternative views on the issues. Your literature review may focus on normal development in adolescence or adulthood, or abnormal development.
Illustrating your literature with case examples, either from your field experiences or the literature is required.
For example, you may focus on abnormal development in adolescence, providing a case example of how teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, or depression may derail the normal development process.
Additionally, each student will be responsible for interviewing a MSW faculty member who has experience with your topic to learn how the individual applies and integrates knowledge and values relating to human behavior and the social environment in their practice with clients with your selected developmental task.
The student must also discuss the implications of the research for social work practice and social policy. (See Objectives 1, 7, 8, 11, 12).
If you should use a work experience or field experience, please protect the identity of all individuals involved by changing the names, dates, and locales to protect the innocent persons involved.
Option B:
Use developmental/ecological theory to address a psychosocial problem.
Problem description
: Identify a psychosocial problem, e.g., a phenomenon of psychosocial pain or distress, experienced in a particular population group, in particular individuals, or in families. Based on 5-10 background readings, articl.

Global Issues in the Liberal Arts Research Paper Proposal.docxwhittemorelucilla
Global Issues in the Liberal Arts
Research Paper Proposal
Name: _____Shannon Gutierrez_____ Date: __1/11/18_______________
1. What is the general topic you want to learn and write about? The general topic must be
an objective examination of a topic related to one of the four breadth areas and it must
have a global perspective or be of global significance.
Economics of global warming is the general topic for my research paper.
2. Identify which breadth area(s) the topic is related to and explain how the topic is related
to this breadth area (s), or how you can use the perspectives of this particular breadth area
(s) to examine the topic of your research within its global context.
This topic will fall within the science/description and social civic breadth area of liberal
arts. First, Social/Civic because the climate affects the entire world and the >>>> policy
on global warming requires that countries develop relationships to accomplish an overall
objective. Many Activist believe that science has proven global warming to be a real
ecological concern yet many countries and individuals in society choose not to
acknowledge global warming as fact.
The Science/Description breadth area because as mentioned one must believe in the facts
and evidence provided on the topic. Global warming and the study of its effects requires
an understanding of nature and the structure. Technological advances may provide many
solutions to the challenge, however, few countries have the financial means or education
to implement such solutions.
3. What is the purpose of the study? Why have you chosen this particular general topic?
Do you intend to educate or illuminate a particular group about your topic? Do you
intend that this group or person will change it's/his/her thinking or take action because of
your study?
The purpose of this study is to have a deeper understanding of global politics and how the
United States decision to leave the Paris Agreement will financially impact third world

4. What is your research question? You are not conducting field research (i.e., survey data,
interviews, primary source data). Research in this context means investigating a topic in
depth using credible sources.
Your research question guides what sources you select and read in depth. This is a
specific, clear, concise question you have about the topic that is grounded in facts that
can be discovered in the literature. Remember that the question should be intellectually
challenging and not be one that can be answered with a simple “yes,” “no,” or “maybe.”
Review your question for its clarity and scope. Will the question point you to specific
information on your topic? Will you be able to find enough information on the topic? Is it
so broad that you will get hundreds or thousands of articles on the topic? Could you write
approximately 8-10 pages that illuminate what scholars are writing about ...

Knot theoryDid you tie your shoe laces the same way today .docxcroysierkathey
Knot theory
Did you tie your shoe laces the same way today as yesterday? We are all
familiar with knots from everyday life. But when does a mathematician
consider two knots to be the same? To capture the mathematical, rather
than physical, features of a knot, we glue the ends together to form a circular
loop, and then treat the string as infinitely strong, thin, and stretchy. The
downside of doing so is that it is not immediately clear how to distinguish
two knots, as there are infinitely many configurations for the same knot.
For this project you should find out about how knots are represented, and
about some of the invariants used to tell them apart. Some possible areas of
investigation include:
• tricolourability.
• genus.
• the Jones polynomial.
You should include plenty of your own examples to illustrate your under-
standing.
Prerequisites
No particular background knowledge is needed, but you will need to be able
to interpret a 2D diagram as a 3D object in space and visualise it moving
over time.
Literature
• Colin Adams, The Knot Book
• Peter Cromwell, Knots and Links
Additional tips:
The purpose of the final assignment is for you to analyze an existing policy (at the federal, state, or local level) and discuss its impact on a social problem. You aren’t proposing a policy, but analyzing an existing policy of interest to you.
Be sure to take enough time reading about the policy you selected to thoroughly understand it in an in-depth way and be able to confidently answer the questions in the assignment.
Please take time to carefully read each question in the assignment and be sure to answer it. As you proof-read your paper, take the opportunity to again review the assignment and double check that you have thoroughly but succinctly provided the information for each applicable question.
Please make sure you are using APA style in your final paper, including the title page with name and dates.
The assignment is 8 – 10 pages long because that’s roughly the length of a comprehensive social policy analysis. Please try to refrain from adding more words than necessary to stretch the length.
Proof-reading more than once is a great idea to try to catch sentences that aren’t sentences and words that are inadvertently misused. Read it out loud. I understand that the U of MD’s writing lab is available to help those interested in strengthening their writing skills – don’t hesitate to take advantage of it!
My expectation is that direct quotes be kept to a minimum in that graduate-level writing involves synthesizing ideas and then presenting them in your OWN words. For those quotes you do use, please be sure to use the correct citation and quotation marks. Not doing so may be considered plagiarism and will be responded to accordingly.

Personal experience and perception lend a great deal to addressing a.docxrosacrosdale
Personal experience and perception lend a great deal to addressing a social issue. However, as individuals, there are limits to one’s knowledge on any topic. The ability to conduct research on a social issue allows for a more comprehensive perspective on multiple aspects of an issue, insight into the communities impacted, and lessons learned for other like-minded groups who have done similar work.
In this Journal Assignment, you explore the concept
Discovery
as it relates your group's research on a social topic.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Consider the assigned readings from the first 3 weeks of this course.
Review the explanation of Walden University's DEEP-C Model General Education Learning Outcome “Discovery” in the Syllabus.
Consider
“
Discovery” as it relates to the work you are doing in this course.
Bearing in mind the amount of information that is readily available in current times, think about how people involved in social movements of the past gained information on the social issue and related topics.
The Assignment:
Write
a 2- to 3-paragraph journal entry in which you address the following questions:
What appropriate sources of information will be used to support your group's claims about your topic?
At this early stage in the process of investigating your topic, what advantages do you see in conducting research to discover various factors associated with the topic?
In what ways does the ability to conduct research strengthen your group's approach?

Assessment 4Create and analyze a 1–2-page simulated casVinaOconner450
Assessment 4:
Create and analyze a 1–2-page
simulated
case study of an adult with developmental challenges. Then, create a 5–7-page intervention plan based on evidence-based strategies that have proven effective in similar cases and make projections of possible long-term impacts that current challenges may produce across the individual's remaining lifespan.
Theorists and researchers focus on these phases to understand the developmental trajectories of adults:
Early adulthood, often referred to as young adulthood or emerging adulthood, is a period from 18 to 25 years, where the focus on relationships and career choice and success can become primary. Young adulthood is often understood by applying lifespan development theories that help in understanding social-emotional and career development issues that emerge in young adulthood. Examples are adult attachment theory, Holland's personality type theory linked to career development, Super's vocational self-concept stages, as well as Erikson's stage of identity development.
Middle adulthood, or
midlife
is a period where, according to developmental theory, there is evidence of growth, maintenance, and regulation of loss in various contexts such as family and work. Middle adulthood is often understood by applying lifespan development theories that help in understanding the cognitive and social development issues that emerge in midlife. Concepts of maintenance and loss as well and coping strategies linked to stress such as Hobfoll's theory of conservation of resources (COR) are often useful. Cognitive changes are often understood in terms of fluid and crystallized intelligence. Social development is often understood in terms of Erikson's concept of generativity.
Adulthood or
late
adulthood is a period when people move into their 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, with various challenges and losses that can define developmental trajectories. Late adulthood is often understood by applying lifespan development theories that help in understanding the gains and losses that are hallmarks of this stage of adulthood, such as the lifespan theory developed by Baltes and colleagues.
To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the business community.
Consider these questions
· How do changes in the brain during adulthood affect success in school or the workplace?
· In what ways does adult female development differ from adult male development? In what ways is it similar?
· How might your knowledge of adult development be useful in your current or future professional pursuits?
· What factors promote stability in adult life? What factors promote change?
· How do the different measures of health in middle age contribute to the cognitive and social changes assoc ...

On the other hand, Ralph rarely thinks of diversity, except when it is mentioned in the workplace. Monica is sensitized to multicultural issues because her parents are immigrants who still struggle with discrimination after being here for 20 years.
To obtain a cross-section of what people think about diversity, conduct five-minute interviews with three individuals you don't know well, and assess their views on diversity. You have been provided an
Informed Consent
document for the respondents to sign along with verbally consenting to participate in this assignment. This is to enable that the respondents demonstrate a clear understanding of the meaning and purpose of this assignment. While you are expected to use the informed consent form in keeping with ethical practices for data collection, you do not need to submit it to the instructor as part of the assignment.
Ask the respondents the following questions and record their answers:
When you hear the word diversity mentioned in the workplace, in the media, or in casual conversation, what meaning do you assign this term?
Does a particular race, ethnic group, or other minority group come to mind when you think of diversity? Does one of these groups pertain to you?
Do you think the majority of people in our culture:
Respect cultural differences among groups of people.
Show indifference to cultural differences.
Lack respect for cultural differences. Explain each choice.
If you were to make a suggestion about how our culture should handle diversity over the next decade, what would it be?
Compile your responses and write a brief reflection paper (two pages) on your findings. Specifically address the following issues:
What did you discover was the general attitude toward diversity in our culture?
Is diversity more associated with one race, ethnic, or other minority group than with others? If so, explain why this might be the case.
Compare and contrast the respondent's views with your own. How would you answer the same questions?

the topic at hand and the study of history in general.
Primary Sources provide first-hand accounts of the events, practices, or conditions. In general, these are
documents that were created by the witnesses or first recorders of these events at about the time they
occurred, and include diaries, letters, reports, court decisions, speeches, photographs, newspaper articles, and
creative works – poems, novels, or political cartoons. Primary Sources form the base that supports historians’
reconstructions of the past. To use primary sources with confidence, historians ...

This topic will fall within the science/description and social civic breadth area of liberal
arts. First, Social/Civic because the climate affects the entire world and the >>>> policy
on global warming requires that countries develop relationships to accomplish an overall
objective. Many Activist believe that science has proven global warming to be a real
ecological concern yet many countries and individuals in society choose not to
acknowledge global warming as fact.
The Science/Description breadth area because as mentioned one must believe in the facts

Knot theoryDid you tie your shoe laces the same way today .docxcroysierkathey
Knot theory
Did you tie your shoe laces the same way today as yesterday? We are all
familiar with knots from everyday life. But when does a mathematician
consider two knots to be the same? To capture the mathematical, rather
than physical, features of a knot, we glue the ends together to form a circular
loop, and then treat the string as infinitely strong, thin, and stretchy. The
downside of doing so is that it is not immediately clear how to distinguish
two knots, as there are infinitely many configurations for the same knot.
For this project you should find out about how knots are represented, and
about some of the invariants used to tell them apart. Some possible areas of
investigation include:
• tricolourability.
• genus.
• the Jones polynomial.
You should include plenty of your own examples to illustrate your under-
standing.
Prerequisites
No particular background knowledge is needed, but you will need to be able
to interpret a 2D diagram as a 3D object in space and visualise it moving
over time.
Literature
• Colin Adams, The Knot Book
• Peter Cromwell, Knots and Links
Additional tips:
The purpose of the final assignment is for you to analyze an existing policy (at the federal, state, or local level) and discuss its impact on a social problem. You aren’t proposing a policy, but analyzing an existing policy of interest to you.
Be sure to take enough time reading about the policy you selected to thoroughly understand it in an in-depth way and be able to confidently answer the questions in the assignment.
Please take time to carefully read each question in the assignment and be sure to answer it. As you proof-read your paper, take the opportunity to again review the assignment and double check that you have thoroughly but succinctly provided the information for each applicable question.
Please make sure you are using APA style in your final paper, including the title page with name and dates.
The assignment is 8 – 10 pages long because that’s roughly the length of a comprehensive social policy analysis. Please try to refrain from adding more words than necessary to stretch the length.
Proof-reading more than once is a great idea to try to catch sentences that aren’t sentences and words that are inadvertently misused. Read it out loud. I understand that the U of MD’s writing lab is available to help those interested in strengthening their writing skills – don’t hesitate to take advantage of it!
My expectation is that direct quotes be kept to a minimum in that graduate-level writing involves synthesizing ideas and then presenting them in your OWN words. For those quotes you do use, please be sure to use the correct citation and quotation marks. Not doing so may be considered plagiarism and will be responded to accordingly.

Personal experience and perception lend a great deal to addressing a.docxrosacrosdale
Personal experience and perception lend a great deal to addressing a social issue. However, as individuals, there are limits to one’s knowledge on any topic. The ability to conduct research on a social issue allows for a more comprehensive perspective on multiple aspects of an issue, insight into the communities impacted, and lessons learned for other like-minded groups who have done similar work.
In this Journal Assignment, you explore the concept
Discovery
as it relates your group's research on a social topic.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Consider the assigned readings from the first 3 weeks of this course.
Review the explanation of Walden University's DEEP-C Model General Education Learning Outcome “Discovery” in the Syllabus.
Consider
“
Discovery” as it relates to the work you are doing in this course.
Bearing in mind the amount of information that is readily available in current times, think about how people involved in social movements of the past gained information on the social issue and related topics.
The Assignment:
Write
a 2- to 3-paragraph journal entry in which you address the following questions:
What appropriate sources of information will be used to support your group's claims about your topic?
At this early stage in the process of investigating your topic, what advantages do you see in conducting research to discover various factors associated with the topic?
In what ways does the ability to conduct research strengthen your group's approach?
General Education Learning Outcomes (The DEEP-C Model)
Discovery
:
Students will locate and identify appropriate sources of information using multiple sources and methods, including bibliographic, textual, experiential, and experimental research.
Evaluation:
Students will critically assess texts and arguments in multiple forms and contexts using quantitative and qualitative logic, the scientific method, ethics, and pragmatics.
Expression:
Students will effectively and ethically communicate information and opinions verbally and nonverbally using written, oral, behavioral, and visual methods adapted for diverse audiences and purposes.
Perspective
: Students will be able to articulate the consistency and flexibility of knowledge as it is experienced across time, space, and culture.
Change
: Students will articulate how their ability to discover, evaluate, and express ideas from different perspectives is instrumental in their progress toward achieving personal goals and effecting positive social change.

Journal Evaluating ResourcesPersonal experience and perception le.docxcareyshaunda
Journal: Evaluating Resources
Personal experience and perception lend a great deal to addressing a social issue. However, as individuals, there are limits to one’s knowledge on any topic. The ability to conduct research on a social issue allows for a more comprehensive perspective on multiple aspects of an issue, insight into the communities impacted, and lessons learned for other like-minded groups who have done similar work.
In this Journal Assignment, you explore the concept
Discovery
as it relates your group's research on a social topic.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Consider the assigned readings from the first 3 weeks of this course.
Review the explanation of DEEP-C Model General Education Learning Outcome “Discovery” in the Syllabus.
Consider
“
Discovery” as it relates to the work you are doing in this course.
Bearing in mind the amount of information that is readily available in current times, think about how people involved in social movements of the past gained information on the social issue and related topics.
The Assignment:
Write
a 2- to 3-paragraph journal entry in which you address the following questions:
What appropriate sources of information will be used to support your group's claims about your topic?
At this early stage in the process of investigating your topic, what advantages do you see in conducting research to discover various factors associated with the topic?
In what ways does the ability to conduct research strengthen your group's approach?
General Education Learning Outcomes (The DEEP-C Model)
Discovery
:
Students will locate and identify appropriate sources of information using multiple sources and methods, including bibliographic, textual, experiential, and experimental research.
Evaluation:
Students will critically assess texts and arguments in multiple forms and contexts using quantitative and qualitative logic, the scientific method, ethics, and pragmatics.
Expression:
Students will effectively and ethically communicate information and opinions verbally and nonverbally using written, oral, behavioral, and visual methods adapted for diverse audiences and purposes.
Perspective
: Students will be able to articulate the consistency and flexibility of knowledge as it is experienced across time, space, and culture.
Change
: Students will articulate how their ability to discover, evaluate, and express ideas from different perspectives is instrumental in their progress toward achieving personal goals and effecting positive social change.

Assessment 4Create and analyze a 1–2-page simulated casVinaOconner450
Assessment 4:
Create and analyze a 1–2-page
simulated
case study of an adult with developmental challenges. Then, create a 5–7-page intervention plan based on evidence-based strategies that have proven effective in similar cases and make projections of possible long-term impacts that current challenges may produce across the individual's remaining lifespan.
Theorists and researchers focus on these phases to understand the developmental trajectories of adults:
Early adulthood, often referred to as young adulthood or emerging adulthood, is a period from 18 to 25 years, where the focus on relationships and career choice and success can become primary. Young adulthood is often understood by applying lifespan development theories that help in understanding social-emotional and career development issues that emerge in young adulthood. Examples are adult attachment theory, Holland's personality type theory linked to career development, Super's vocational self-concept stages, as well as Erikson's stage of identity development.
Middle adulthood, or
midlife
is a period where, according to developmental theory, there is evidence of growth, maintenance, and regulation of loss in various contexts such as family and work. Middle adulthood is often understood by applying lifespan development theories that help in understanding the cognitive and social development issues that emerge in midlife. Concepts of maintenance and loss as well and coping strategies linked to stress such as Hobfoll's theory of conservation of resources (COR) are often useful. Cognitive changes are often understood in terms of fluid and crystallized intelligence. Social development is often understood in terms of Erikson's concept of generativity.
Adulthood or
late
adulthood is a period when people move into their 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, with various challenges and losses that can define developmental trajectories. Late adulthood is often understood by applying lifespan development theories that help in understanding the gains and losses that are hallmarks of this stage of adulthood, such as the lifespan theory developed by Baltes and colleagues.
To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the business community.
Consider these questions
· How do changes in the brain during adulthood affect success in school or the workplace?
· In what ways does adult female development differ from adult male development? In what ways is it similar?
· How might your knowledge of adult development be useful in your current or future professional pursuits?
· What factors promote stability in adult life? What factors promote change?
· How do the different measures of health in middle age contribute to the cognitive and social changes assoc ...

Unit 1: Module 1 - M1 Assignment 3
Assignment 3: Views on Diversity
Pablo believes that diversity is the most important issue in our culture, and that it is greatly underemphasized. On the other hand, Ralph rarely thinks of diversity, except when it is mentioned in the workplace. Monica is sensitized to multicultural issues because her parents are immigrants who still struggle with discrimination after being here for 20 years.
To obtain a cross-section of what people think about diversity, conduct five-minute interviews with three individuals you don't know well, and assess their views on diversity. You have been provided an
Informed Consent
document for the respondents to sign along with verbally consenting to participate in this assignment. This is to enable that the respondents demonstrate a clear understanding of the meaning and purpose of this assignment. While you are expected to use the informed consent form in keeping with ethical practices for data collection, you do not need to submit it to the instructor as part of the assignment.
Ask the respondents the following questions and record their answers:
When you hear the word diversity mentioned in the workplace, in the media, or in casual conversation, what meaning do you assign this term?
Does a particular race, ethnic group, or other minority group come to mind when you think of diversity? Does one of these groups pertain to you?
Do you think the majority of people in our culture:
Respect cultural differences among groups of people.
Show indifference to cultural differences.
Lack respect for cultural differences. Explain each choice.
If you were to make a suggestion about how our culture should handle diversity over the next decade, what would it be?
Compile your responses and write a brief reflection paper (two pages) on your findings. Specifically address the following issues:
What did you discover was the general attitude toward diversity in our culture?
Is diversity more associated with one race, ethnic, or other minority group than with others? If so, explain why this might be the case.
Compare and contrast the respondent's views with your own. How would you answer the same questions?

Unit 1: Understanding the Tourism and Hospitality Industry with Work Placement
Introduction
To be assessed on this unit you need to undertake and
SUBMIT
a 2,000 word assignment, clearly following relevant
instructions
on content, word count and referencing procedures.
The assignment is designed to cover the learning outcomes of the unit and help you obtain a clear understanding of the subject area via the research, reading and relevant work experience (if
APPLICABLE
) undertaken during your studies.
You may already be working in the industry and studying OTHM on a part-time basis or perhaps an individual who wishes to
ENTER
the industry or
upgrade
skills through study and work placement.
Some Issues to Consider
Historically, Great Britain played a major role in developing the tourism infrastructure used today, starting with the first tour operator and leading to the development of railway networks and travel by ocean liner – enabling visitors to travel both nationally and internationally.
Modern tourism is a major source of
FOREX
to many developing economies and is often the main industry in an economy. An increase in disposable
income
and the growth of mass air, coach and rail travel has also had a major impact (sometimes negative as well as positive) on a region or economy.
Tourism and hospitality is the world’s largest
EMPLOYER
and an understanding of the industry will enable you to progress further with the other specialist areas of the
diploma
.
Researching the Tourism and Hospitality
The assignment has been designed to encourage you to research the industry, considering the main factors driving the development and demand within the industry. Your assignment should also allow you to gain a clear understanding of the supply chain within the tourism and hospitality industry.
You are required to choose a number of case examples that include

Understanding the Value of Qualitative ResearchAn important part.docxTakishaPeck109
Understanding the Value of Qualitative Research
An important part of both analyzing other’s research approaches and reflecting on your own includes understanding the positive and negative aspects of varied forms of social research and how they can influence a researcher’s stance and tone. While quantitative data can provide a general overview of the impacts of public policy and systems which manage society, qualitative data can provide specific and important information regarding the causes of this impact, such as the how, why, and who. Therefore, qualitative research can provide beneficial information to aid public policy in regards to social problems. This is especially important to know when public policy and systems create negative impacts, such as profiling, inequality, limited access, and social exclusion. It is also important to be able to recognize the stance or informed viewpoint of the researcher reporting on this information.
One of the more immersive forms of social research methods available is one of the qualitative methods: ethnography. Ethnography allows a researcher to experience the impacts through living amongst the citizens who have to engage with public policy and its systems in their daily lives. The most intriguing aspects of this type of research is how the researcher maintains an ethical and neutral stance during and after the process of research and how the experience can impact their stance or underlying tone.
In this assignment, you will present the benefits of ethnographical research in terms of informing public policy, as well as understanding the researcher’s role in performing and reporting on ethnographic research. You will do this through your own research of immersive ethnographical approaches (including the course text), and also through analyzing Dr. Alice Goffman’s work on inner city people of color in Philadelphia. You will be provided with reporting and reviews of her work to help fuel your own analysis of Dr. Goffman’s approach. This will help you become better at discerning what useful research is in order to appropriately inform decision-making in society.
In your paper, you must address the following:
Explain the researcher’s role in qualitative research. Discuss the unique issues that researchers should be concerned about in regards to their role in research, and explain how this is specifically a challenge in ethnographical research. Discuss specific actions researchers can take to ensure they retain their ethical and neutral stance in performing qualitative research and reporting their qualitative research results.
Regarding Alice Goffman’s recent ethnographical work in inner-city Philadelphia, and based on what you know from the text and your own research on ethnographic immersion, determine whether or not Goffman maintained an ethical and neutral stance, and provide justification of the approach Goffman chose to take. Based on what you have been able to ascertain from Goffman’s work, discuss th.

Kesha has invited her friend Carrie to go home with her over the school’s short holiday break. Kesha, like many African Americans, has a rich spiritual tradition that permeates most areas of her life. In addition, Kesha is close to her immediate and extended family. Carrie, on the other hand, comes from a predominantly Caucasian Presbyterian background, is an only child, and rarely sees any of her extended family.
During her visit, Carrie is noticeably uncomfortable with the vastly different dynamics of Kesha’s family. Carrie is rethinking her friendship with Kesha and wants to withdraw from her.
How will you help Carrie understand the cultural values inherent in the African American culture and how these might be affecting her?

Under the common law, from the 1500s until today, the law has allow.docxTakishaPeck109
Under the common law, from the 1500's until today, the law has allowed past property owners to place limitations on the uses of real property in the future through the use of covenants (promises) as set forth in real property deeds as well as use of the fee defeasable estates (i.e. "To John Doe, so long as the property is used as a tobacco farm") and the evolution of zoning statutes and practice. Thomas Jefferson argued vehemently that no past owner of real property (dead or alive) should be allowed to restrict a future owner of real property concerning its present use; however, the Virginia State Legislature disagreed with him and land use limitation continues today. Jefferson described this practice as "Allowing the dead to control the lands of the living."
Was Jefferson right, or should we maintain the practice of allowing past property owners to place land use limitations in deeds of lands sold or gifted? Further, should the government be allowed to determine how a private property owner uses his/her respective land?

UMUC CMIT 265 Fundamentals of Networking
Hello there! I have am lost. My rough draft is due Sunday, December 13. I'm not looking for a stellar proposal to be written but help on
what
Computer Components to use
and why
and
where
they should be placed (see diagram)
and why
. Same thing for the IP/subnetting, and Network devices. I really need to see the setup of the devices and wiring schematics. If you have time to write a design proposal by Saturday, that would be a bonus.
Here are the assignment details. There are two attachments: one includes what you see below plus a diagram of the building design and the template we are to use for the paper.
ASSIGNMENT SCENARIO:
You have been hired as part of the networking team at UMUC. After completing orientation and training in your first week, your manager calls you into a meeting to discuss your first project.
The university has recently leased a building in Adelphi, Maryland. The building will house some offices, classrooms, a library, and computer labs. Security is very important for UMUC, as the university must protect students’ and employees’ data, as well as any intellectual property that UMUC has on its servers and computers. As a result, IT management would like to take the time to review some proposals on how best to move forward. As a network engineer, you have been asked to prepare a network proposal on how to set up a secure network infrastructure in this new building to support university operations.
After speaking to your manager, you are excited about the project, but you realize you will have a busy schedule. As you write your proposal, you will also have to prepare for the Network+ Certification exam. One of the conditions of your employment at this company is that you obtain this certification within 60 days of being hired. You will have to manage your time wisely, because you will have to take a practice certification test just as you are completing your final project.
To get started, follow the steps below.
OVERVIEW
You will provide detailed network design proposal. Your task is to design the network for this new building with the following criteria:
·
Student-accessed computers should be on separate network from the staff-accessed computers. Computers for public use should be on a separate network.
·
There must be a minimum of 40 Mbps Internet connection, with a backup line capable of at least 20Mbps. Cable, DSL, or FIOS should not be used for primary Internet service.
·
The network should use physical cable, not wireless. But do provide wireless access in the Student Lobby area (second-floor hallway). Set the maximum simultaneous wireless users to 254.
·
The network has been assigned the 10.11.12.0/23 network address for all computers and devices
Your proposal should have three major sections:
1.
Physical Network Design
2.
Network Addressing
3.
Network Services Design
To learn how you will be assessed on this assignment, please take a.

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.

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.

1. throughout your time as a CAS student, you have been exposed
to various developmental theories and practices that align with
them. One way that we can connect theoretical understandings
with developmentally appropriate practices is through the
spaces we create for children and adolescents at-risk.
Develop a classroom or community center/plot of land floorplan
where there is intentionality behind every inch of the space.
Label each area with its purpose and what area of development
it is meant to foster. Be specific, go beyond saying, "Cognitive,
Social-emotional, Language, or Physical development". You
should have a minimum of 4 pages:
1. A cover page (1 points) where you list your name, student ID,
dat, "HW3" and then tell me about the space you are designing
and for what age group and population.
· Ages can range from 4 year old's to 18 year old's
· Populations can range from a low-income classroom in an
urban, suburban, or rural area to a targeted population (e.g.,
LGBTQIA+, sexual assault survivors, individuals with learning
differences, undocumented youth, etc.)
· Overarching goal of the space you are creating
2. The visual (3 points) representation of the space you created
with each area labeled
· You can do this with colored pencils and paper (take a picture
or scan it) or on your ipad/tablets and computers using any
software/program available to you.
· You can label using letters or numbers or short label
names/descriptors
3. The index (4 points) for each area with
· a full name of the area & its goals
· the developmental aspect it is targeting
· through what processes specifically it is targeting that area of
development
· Finally, how is it serving a buffer or protective factor for
children and adolescents at risk
2. 4. Reflection (2 points) on the process and how realistic your
design would be in a school or organization with low resources.
· What 3 areas would you cut and what 2 areas would you
absolutely fight to keep if budget was a barrier?
*** You do not need to be an artistic genius to do well on this
assignment. It is most important to demonstrate your
intentionality in curating spaces for children and adolescents at-
risk. Importantly, it needs to be clear that you thought through
different processes that impact development.
***There are no file format restrictions given that this is more
than a writing assignment.
Research Paper Project Guidelines
This project is an exercise in the social scientific study
of public administration,
Students are expected to perform the following tasks:
(a) Choose a substantive, empirical issue pertaining to the topic
of the class. The
topic may certainly have normative implications, but it should
be
fundamentally an empirical issue. The paper should not
be an advocacy
document.
(b) Examine a substantial portion of the social scientific or
scholarly literature
analyzing that issue.
(c) Select one or more explanations or perspectives from that
literature (or derive
a new approach) for the chosen phenomenon.
(d) Meet with the prof (or communicate by phone or e-
mail) to discuss the
project. This may be done at the start of the student’s
research, if desired.
At some point students who are examining an empirical
3. issue should be able
to state, in hypothesis form, what observable implications can
be drawn from
their explanation(s). Students should also be able to
state the assumptions
from which their hypothesis is derived. Students dealing
primarily with a
normative issue need to be able to state a particular
thesis and also the
premises from which that thesis may be derived. The
prof will ask each
student what literature he/she has read in researching
his/her topic. Each
student is required to submit a written version of a paper
proposal. The
written proposal should contain a stated hypothesis or
thesis, the premises
upon which the argument(s) is/are based, and a preliminary
bibliography.
(e) Submit a brief, written progress report on the research
project. The progress
report should contain an outline of the paper, an
introductory section and
literature review, as well as an expanded bibliography.
and
9
(f) Write a paper, roughly seven to eight pages long, evaluating
the
explanation(s) or thesis as applied to the substantive topic.
Students should
cite references using the format used by the American
Psychological
Association. Use Times New Roman, 12 point font. At least
ten of the
sources cited in the bibliography and used in the paper
should be from
4. peer-reviewed, scholarly journals. Students should submit
an electronic
copy of their papers. The electronic copy should be
submitted to the
Assignment function within Canvas. Late papers will be
penalized. The
instructor will be happy to read and make comments upon
rough drafts of
student papers up to one week before the deadline.
The methodological approach used in the paper is pretty much
up to the student.
In-depth case studies of single events, comparative case
studies of two or more events,
bibliographic essays comparing several explanations or
perspectives in general terms,
qualitative examinations of trends over time or across different
agencies or states, cities,
etc., or statistical analyses of large numbers of cases are all
permissible.
Students may find newspapers, magazines, government
documents, and a variety
of Internet sources helpful in doing the paper. If so,
they are encouraged to use them.
Yet these sources are not generally adequate to provide an
understanding of social
science explanations. For that reason students must rely
upon some scholarly journals
and/or books as sources. Journals dealing generally
with public administration,
management, public policy, political economy, and law may be
helpful. These include
Public Administration Review, Administrative Science
Quarterly, Administration and
Society, Journal of Human Resources, Academy of
Management Journal, Journal of
Public Administration Research and Theory, Policy Studies
5. Journal, the Journal of
Policy Analysis and Management, the Journal of Political
Economy, and others.
General social science journals such as the American
Political Science Review, the
American Journal of Political Science, the American
Sociological Review, and the
American Economic Review may be helpful. Magazines and
web pages may be useful,
but they should not be relied upon exclusively

Paper Proposal for Spring 2022
I would like to do my paper on the topic of connecting people to
meaningful work and how it drives our economy forward.
I hypothesize that when employees are passionate and satisfied
with their jobs, they are more detailed with their work, are
likely to grow within the organization, and report having a
better quality of life.
Preliminary Bibliography: More sources are to come.
