Assignment Overview
In the assignment this week, you will write a paper (7–10 pages), including a literature review, that examines ethical behavior, diversity, and civil discourse in the context of your particular focus and specialization.
What You Need to Know
Ethical Reasoning
Morris (2016) tells us:
In fall 2016, more than twenty million students enrolled across more than four million colleges and universities in the U.S. One in four students were members of a minority group, and approximately one million were international students. These students interacted with approximately four million administrators and faculty and staff members in a diversity of settings. Most of these students will easily transition into a life of academics and social interactions. For others, insults, aggressions, and lack of inclusion are a reality; and these experiences will shape their interactions and perceptions . . . on the challenges facing the nation and world and considering the role that post-secondary education plays in improving civil discourse nationally and creating safe spaces for dialogue and personal growth. (p. 361)
Morris (2016) goes on to argue:
First, [we must] identify resources to support conversations around civil discourse, social justice, and inclusion. Could we individually and collectively in every department, college, and administrative unit resolve to make a difference—to role-model and ask our students to be kind, show compassion, be inclusive and fair, and extend a hand of friendship? Maybe our academic words, like social justice, just do not resonate. Perhaps people forget that words have power and can cause long-lasting pain or can provide encouragement. While we may study and advocate for equity, perhaps we should say that this campus and my class will discuss challenging topics; but we will be characterized by the following values: to listen, to reflect, to show compassion, to think critically, and to care about this community of learners. I know: it sounds like Robert Fulghum’s
All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
(1988). However, sometimes simple guidelines work best. (p. 361)
Use your
Critical Thinking
text to quickly review the following:
Chapter 14, "Develop As an Ethical Reasoner," pages 345–365.
If you did not complete the
Blooming Park: Ethics, Diversity, and Personnel Selection
simulation last week, complete it now to begin work on the interviews relevant to your organization: P–12 education, higher education, business or corporate, or military. This activity will give you the opportunity to grapple with the ethical questions that frequently arise in professional contexts, which will be the focus of your assignment this week.
Diversity and Multiculturalism
Diversity in all organization settings can take many forms. We may consider differences across many criteria, including the following:
Ethnicity.
Ethnic identity.
Gend.

Assignment Overview
In the assignment this week, you will write a paper (7–10 pages), including a literature review, that examines ethical behavior, diversity, and civil discourse in the context of your particular focus and specialization.
What You Need to Know
Ethical Reasoning
Morris (2016) tells us:
In fall 2016, more than twenty million students enrolled across more than four million colleges and universities in the U.S. One in four students were members of a minority group, and approximately one million were international students. These students interacted with approximately four million administrators and faculty and staff members in a diversity of settings. Most of these students will easily transition into a life of academics and social interactions. For others, insults, aggressions, and lack of inclusion are a reality; and these experiences will shape their interactions and perceptions . . . on the challenges facing the nation and world and considering the role that post-secondary education plays in improving civil discourse nationally and creating safe spaces for dialogue and personal growth. (p. 361)
Morris (2016) goes on to argue:
First, [we must] identify resources to support conversations around civil discourse, social justice, and inclusion. Could we individually and collectively in every department, college, and administrative unit resolve to make a difference—to role-model and ask our students to be kind, show compassion, be inclusive and fair, and extend a hand of friendship? Maybe our academic words, like social justice, just do not resonate. Perhaps people forget that words have power and can cause long-lasting pain or can provide encouragement. While we may study and advocate for equity, perhaps we should say that this campus and my class will discuss challenging topics; but we will be characterized by the following values: to listen, to reflect, to show compassion, to think critically, and to care about this community of learners. I know: it sounds like Robert Fulghum’s
All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
(1988). However, sometimes simple guidelines work best. (p. 361)
Use your
Critical Thinking
text to quickly review the following:
Chapter 14, "Develop As an Ethical Reasoner," pages 345–365.
If you did not complete the
Blooming Park: Ethics, Diversity, and Personnel Selection

This activity will give you the opportunity to grapple with the ethical questions that frequently arise in professional contexts, which will be the focus of your assignment this week.
Diversity and Multiculturalism
Diversity in all organization settings can take many forms. We may consider differences across many criteria, including the following:

Context
African explorer and geographer, meteorologist, psychologist, statistician, and geneticist Sir (knighted in 1909) Francis Galton—cousin to Charles Darwin—lived a life of extraordinary measures, literally. In Galton's biography, Extreme Measures: The Dark Visions and Bright Idea of Francis Galton , Martin Brookes (2004) writes:
His measuring mind left its mark all over the scientific landscape. Explorer, inventor, meteorologist, psychologist, anthropologist and statistician, Galton was one of the great Victorian polymaths.
But it was in the fledgling field of genetics that he made his most indelible impression. Galton kick-started the enduring nature-nurture debate, and took hereditary determinism
to its darkest extreme. Consumed by his eugenic 1 vision, he dreamed of a future society built on a race of pure-breeding supermen. (p. 3)
Show More
1 According to the Oxford American Dictionary, eugenics is the "science of improving a human population by controlled breeding to increase the occurrence of desirable heritable characteristics. Developed largely by Francis Galton as a method of improving the human race, it fell into disfavor only after the perversion of its doctrines by the Nazis."

ASSIGNMENT
:
Audience:
Other cultural anthropology students
Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is to have students demonstrate an understanding of social inequality as it is manifested in different cultural settings.
Most societies have systems of social inequality that result in people having differential access to property, power and prestige. Anthropological research has demonstrated that the most common forms of social inequality are based on sex, race/ethnicity, caste and socioeconomic class.
Directions:
Choose
two specific cultural examples
of the kinds of social inequality listed above and describe how the lives of individuals are affected by the types of inequality you have identified. Both examples must be drawn from the cultures discussed in the class materials.
For both of your examples, identify and describe the social, economic, political or global conditions you believe to be most responsible for maintaining these examples of social inequality over time.
Do you believe anthropologists are or are not ethically obligated to try to find ways to eliminate social inequality in other cultures?

Compare and Contrast Essay AssignmentA Compare and Contrast essa
Compare and Contrast Essay Assignment
A Compare and Contrast essay explores the similarities and differences between two or more items, ideas, topics, trends, works, etc. When we compare, we point out the similarities between two items, and when we contrast, we show their differences. In fact, Compare and Contrast is one of the main rhetorical strategies that writers use to develop ideas and support their arguments.
For this assignment, you will write a Compare and Contrast essay in which you will
explore the similarities and differences between two of the following topics:
1. Generation Z vs. Millennials
2. Generation Z vs. Generation X
3. How Generation Z is perceived vs How Generation Z really is according to you
The American Family Then and Now
1. Compare and Contrast the way and times in which you were raised to that of children today. Do you think that your parent’s were more strict or concerned than today’s parents? Do you think that kids today expect too much? Provide specific examples as to how kids today are being raised similarly and differently than you.
2. How has the role of the woman changed in the family? Is this change good for families? How has the emergence of women in the workforce and their becoming "bread winners" affected the family?
3. As I look at the male figures in my own family, I can see that the role of the male has changed in two generations. My grandfather, for example, has never changed a diaper or cooked a meal in fifty-two years of marriage, yet I do these two things often. In your own family, how has the role of your gender changed in the last two generations. While the changes are probably many, there are still some things that have probably stayed the same. In considering this topic, be sure to include some of the things that are similar regarding the role of your gender in your family structure.
4. More and more couples are choosing not to be married. How and why is this different from the past? Why are people not getting married? How does the affect the family?
5. Non-traditional families are becoming the new normal in the United States. Discuss and compare the traditional family and non-traditional families.
Your purpose for this essay will be to simply inform your audience on their similarities and differences, on the relative merits of the items discussed, and establish the significance of this comparison and contrast. This last point will be expressed in the thesis of your essay which will also strengthen your essay and clarify its purpose.
Process
The first thing you want to do is brainstorm everything you know about each topic, research both of them, go back and look for connections that show similarities and differences, and then develop your thesis. Remember to select only those aspects that are explicitly comparable or contrastable. After you have formulated your thesis statement, established your basis of comparison, and selected your points for discussion, you are ready to organ ...

My friend liked her class, but she felt that the teacher was very cold. She said the teacher just taught grammar and never asked about the students’ families or talked about her own.
A man commented one day that the reason there are so many single women in Canada is that they are lazy. His female friend was surprised and insulted by his attitude.
A young woman had recently arrived in Canada ready to start a new life. She found the weather a little cold but still enjoyed wearing the same style she wore at home—tight skirts and tight tops that had low neck- lines. After about a month, she began to notice people staring at her. She thought they were looking at her because she was a foreigner. Then one day someone told her that only prostitutes dressed that way. She felt angry and insulted.
Next choose from the following cultural orientations and themes as they relate to the critical incidents (can be more than one). Explain how your chosen critical incident relates to one or more cultural orientation(s) and theme(s) in your report:

Death and grief on-line: Virtual memorialization and changing
concepts of childhood death and parental
bereavement on the Internet
LISA M MITCHELL, PETER H STEPHENSON*, SUSAN CADELL"^ AND MARY ELLEN MACDONALD'
Department of Anthropology, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada; *School of
Environmental Studies and Department of Anthropology, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC,
Canada; ^School of Social Work, Renison University College, University of Waterloo, Waterloo,
ON, Canada; 'Faculty of Dentistry, McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada
A B S T R A C T : 'Virtual memorials' intended to memorialize the lives of children imply significant shifts in the conceptualiza-
tion of death, particularly for grieving parents. Created by parents in memory of their deceased children, on-line memorials
constructed using templates reflect strong cultural beließ about the nature of childhood deaths, grief and the development of a
kind of distal afterlife. Yirtual memorials create a new social value for the deceased and shift death and bereavement from
private into more public experiences. Building upon this work, we describe a kind of 'on-line immortality' created through
virtual memorials where the virtiud presence of the deceased in text and images, and practices intended to sustain a relation-
ship with the deceased can extend bereavement and the social lives of the dead indefinitely. While such memorials can offer
solace, they also potentiate business opportunities for those hoping to create lasting customers. As such, they may also extend
mourning indefinitely. This may be especiaUy true for certain kinds of deeply problematic deaths, such as those of children.
KEYWORDS: virtual, online, memorials, grief, children, parents
Though many people sit night after night intheir living rooms watching various kinds of
'death' and irmumerable dead bodies as a form
of entertainment (e.g., CSI, Bones), the death of
loved ones and the grief which follows are still
mosdy sequestered from everyday life in eco-
nomically and technologically advantaged coun-
tries, including Canada. Grief and bereavement
are confmed to specific times and places, and are
mainly private, or secluded experiences. Most
deaths take place in hospitals, nursing homes, and
hospices, and are managed by health care profes-
sionals who also inform the bereaved of what is
'normal' and what is 'pathological' in the grief
process, and offer ways to 'resolve' grief and to
grieve properly. Anthropological research has
long established that the dead in many cultural
contexts have social lives (Baydala, Hampton,
Rinunwa, Kinunwa, & Kinunwa, 2006; Counts
& Counts, 2004; Hattori, McCubbin, & Ishida,
2006; Keesing, 1982; Rodman & Rodman,
1983). But, until recendy the dominant approach
in Canadian bereavement care has been that
survivors should view death as fmal and they

Statistical properties of (moving-average) rule returns
Date: 23 October 2018
Jen-Wen Lin, PhD, CFA
1. Introduction
Technical indicator is widely used to generate trading signals by practitioners to make
trading decisions. The usual rule is to trade with the trend. In this case, the trader initiates a
position early in the trend and maintains that position as long as the trend continues.
In this assignment, you are asked to study the statistical properties of returns for applying
the oldest and most widely used method in technical indicators—moving averages.1
The structure of this paper is given as follows. Section 2 defines the trading rule (or
strategy). In Section 3 and 4, we formulate the trading return based on a given trading rule and
state the corresponding statistical properties, respectively. The questions for you to answer are
listed in Section 5. Finally, references and appendix are given in Section 6 and 7, respectively.
2. Trading rule
Suppose that at each time 𝑡, market participants predict the direction of the trend of asset
prices using a price-based forecast 𝐹#, where 𝐹# is a function of past asset prices
𝐹# = 𝑓(𝑃#,…,𝑃#*+,-,…).
1 The simplest rule of this family is the single moving average which says when the rate penetrates from below
(above) a moving average of a given length, a buy (sell) signal is generated.
Copyright © Jen-Wen Lin 2018
2
The above predictor is then converted to buy and sell trading signals 𝐵#: buy (+1) and sell (-1)
using, i.e.
{
"𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙" ⇔ 𝐵# = −1 ⇔ 𝐹# < 0
"𝐵𝑢𝑦" ⇔ 𝐵# = +1 ⇔ 𝐹# > 0
Note that the signal of a trading rule is completely defined by one of the inequalities giving a
sell or buy order (if the position is not short, it is long).
For example, consider a trading rule based on the moving average of order five rule (𝑚 =
5). In this case, 𝑓 is given by
𝑓(𝑃#,…,𝑃#*+,-) = 𝑃# −
∑ 𝑃#*BCBDE
5
.
In this case, we buy the asset (𝐵# = +1) at time 𝑡 + 1when
𝐹# > 0 ⟺ 𝑃# >
∑ 𝑃#*BCBDE
5
;
and sell the asset (𝐵# = −1) when
𝐹# < 0 ⟺ 𝑃# <
∑ 𝑃#*BCBDE
5
.
The Figure below illustrates the dynamics of the above 5-periods moving average method—
when the rate penetrates from below (above) the moving average of order five, a buy (sell)
signal is generated.
Copyright © Jen-Wen Lin 2018
3
For your assignment, we consider 𝐹# based on a moving-average technical indicator. In
general, for a given moving-average indicator, 𝐹# may be expressed as (a function of log
returns):
𝐹# = 𝛿 + I 𝑑K𝑋#*K
+*M
KDE
, (1)
where 𝑋# = 𝑙𝑛(𝑃# 𝑃#*-⁄ ), 𝛿 and 𝑑K are defined by a given trading rule (See Appendix for more
details). For this assignment, we assume 𝛿 = 0.

The Special
Senses
Copyright © John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
Special SensesRecall that a sensation is the conscious or subconscious awareness of an internal or external stimulus
For this chapter, “external stimulus” means light rays striking the retina of the eye, sound waves impinging on the tympanic membrane of the ear, molecules in the air and food transmitting smells and tastes to the chemical sensors in the nose an on the tongue, and the force of gravity acting on equilibrium receptors in the inner ear which sense changes in inertia
Copyright © John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
Special SensesReceptors for the special senses of smell, taste, vision, hearing, and equilibrium are anatomically distinct from one another and are concentrated in specific locations in the head
In addition to the stimuli and the receptors, there are specific afferent pathways and translation sites in the brain for information assembled from these special senses
Copyright © John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
Special Senses
General Senses
Include somatic sensations (tactile, thermal, pain, and proprioceptive) and visceral sensations
Are scattered throughout the body
Are relatively simple structures
Special Senses
Include smell, taste, vision, hearing and equilibrium
Are concentrated in specific locations in the head
Are anatomically distinct structures
Form complex neural pathwaysComparing the general senses and the special senses
Copyright © John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
Olfaction and TasteOlfaction is the process of perceiving smells. Smell and taste are brought about through the interpretation of chemicals present in the environment
Olfactory and gustatory (taste) impulses travel not only to the cerebral cortex, but also to the limbic systemthis is why we can have emotional responses and trigger strong memories to certain smells and tastesgustation and olfaction work together but olfaction
is much stronger/more sensitive (when someone has a cold it is difficult to taste food)
Copyright © John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
OlfactionThe olfactory epithelium is located in the superior part of the nasal cavity covering the surface of the cribriform plate and extending along the superior nasal concha
Copyright © John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
OlfactionThe olfactory epithelium consists of 3 kinds of cells:
The olfactory receptor is a bipolar neuron with cilia (called olfactory hairs). There are 10-100 million of these receptors in the nose that respond to odorant molecules
Supporting cells provide
support and nourishment
Basal cells are stem cells
that replace olfactory
receptors

The Aztec Account of the
Conquest of Mexico
edited by Miguel León Portillo
1
OVERVIEW
The Native Americans left few written records of the arrival of the Spanish conqueror
Hernán Cortés in Tenochtitlán (today's Mexico City) in 1519. From them, however, Miguel
León Portillo, a Mexican anthropologist, constructed an eyewitness account of how Cortés
treated the Native Americans and seized Montezuma (also known as Moctezuma) before
going on to destroy the city and to take over much of what is present-day Mexico.
GUIDED READING As you read, consider the following questions:
• How did Montezuma’s messengers describe Cortés and his troops?
• How did Cortés and his troops treat the Native Americans?
he Spaniards arrived in Xoloco, near the entrance to Tenochtitlan. That
was the end of the march, for they had reached their goal.
Motecuhzoma now arrayed himself in his finery, preparing to go out to
meet them. The other great princes also adorned their persons, as did the
nobles and their chieftains and knights. They all went out together to meet the
strangers.
They brought trays heaped with the finest flowers—the flower that
resembles a shield; the flower shaped like a heart; in the center, the flower with
the sweetest aroma; and the fragrant yellow flower, the most precious of all.
They also brought garlands of flowers, and ornaments for the breast, and
necklaces of gold, necklaces hung with rich stones, necklaces fashioned in the
petatillo style.
Thus Motecuhzoma went out to meet them, there in Huitzillan. He
presented many gifts to the Captain and his commanders, those who had
come to make war. He showered gifts upon them and hung flowers around
their necks; he gave them necklaces of flowers and bands of flowers to adorn
their breasts; he set garlands of flowers upon their heads. Then he hung the
gold necklaces around their necks and gave them presents of every sort as gifts
of welcome. . . .
Report on the Spaniards
The messengers reported to the king. They told him how they had made
the journey, and what they had seen, and what food the strangers ate.
Motecuhzoma was astonished and terrified by their report, and the description
of the strangers' food astonished him above all else.
T

He was also terrified to learn how the cannon roared, how its noise
resounded, how it caused one to faint and grow deaf. The messengers told
him: "A thing like a ball of fire comes out of its entrails: it comes out shooting
sparks and raining fire. The smoke that comes out with it has a pestilent odor,
like that of rotten mud. This odor penetrates even to the brain and causes the
greatest discomfort. If the cannon is aimed against a mountain, the mountain
splits and cracks open. If it is aimed against a tree, it shatters the tree into
splinters. This is a mo.

CHAPTER 3
The Interorganizational Context of Public Administration
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Understanding the relationships among the many groups—public, private, and
nonprofit—that drive the effectiveness of public programs and affect the work of the
public manager
2. Learning about the federal system of government and the complexities of
intergovernmental relations that result from federalism
3. Understanding how the relationship and power division between federal and state
governments has evolved
4. Exploring the issues associated with privatization and contracting and public-private
partnerships
5. Understanding the unique challenges of nonprofit organizations
SUMMARY OVERVIEW
This chapter is concerned with relationships among public-sector organizations, an issue that has
become an increasingly important focus for public administrators at all levels. Given the
complexity of modern society, the work of a public administrator likely will involve an intricate
set of relationships with a variety of groups external to the administrator’s own agency, including
public, nonprofit, and private organizations. The chapter includes a comprehensive discussion
about the concept of intergovernmental relations (IGR), which the authors define as “the complex
and interdependent relationships among those at various levels of government as they seek to
develop and implement public programs,” and federalism, which is the relationship and division
of power between the federal government and state governments.
This discussion addresses the changing patterns of funding for public programs, which is
instrumental to an understanding of intergovernmental relations, and touches on the various
approaches to federalism that have been employed in the United States. This includes a
description of how recent presidential administrations, from Reagan to Obama, have approached
the relationship between the federal government and the states, and offers insights into the courts’
influence in this area as well. This chapter also addresses IGR from the perspective of states and
localities, including funding and the use of preemptions and mandates, and includes a discussion
of subnational relationships, including state-to-state, state-to-local, and local-to-local.
This is followed by an examination of the relationships between governmental and
nongovernmental organizations in the public sector, highlighting the role of the latter in the
policy process. As the authors note, not only have nonprofit, for-profit, and faith-based
organizations taken a leading role in delivering public services, they also play an important part in
bringing issues to the public agenda and influencing decisions about public problems. An
important theme running throughout this discussion concerns a description and an evaluation of

The Story of an Hour
Kate Chopin
Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break
to her as gently as possible the news of her husband's death.
It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences; veiled hints that revealed in
half concealing. Her husband's friend Richards was there, too, near her. It was he who had been
in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently
Mallard's name leading the list of "killed." He had only taken the time to assure himself of its
truth by a second telegram, and had hastened to forestall any less careful, less tender friend in
bearing the sad message.
She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to
accept its significance. She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister's arms.
When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no
one follow her.
There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair. Into this she sank,
pressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul.
She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with
the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was
crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly,
and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.
There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and
piled one above the other in the west facing her window.
She sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of the chair, quite motionless, except
when a sob came up into her throat and shook her, as a child who has cried itself to sleep
continues to sob in its dreams.
She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain
strength. But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on
one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a
suspension of intelligent thought.

There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. What was it? She
did not know; it was too subtle and elusive to name. But she felt it, creeping out of the sky,
reaching toward her through the sounds, the scents, the color that filled the air.
Now her bosom rose and fell tumultuously. She was beginning to recognize this thing that
was approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back with her will—as powerless
as her two white slender hands would have been.
When she abandone.

Context
African explorer and geographer, meteorologist, psychologist, statistician, and geneticist Sir (knighted in 1909) Francis Galton—cousin to Charles Darwin—lived a life of extraordinary measures, literally. In Galton's biography, Extreme Measures: The Dark Visions and Bright Idea of Francis Galton , Martin Brookes (2004) writes:
His measuring mind left its mark all over the scientific landscape. Explorer, inventor, meteorologist, psychologist, anthropologist and statistician, Galton was one of the great Victorian polymaths.
But it was in the fledgling field of genetics that he made his most indelible impression. Galton kick-started the enduring nature-nurture debate, and took hereditary determinism
to its darkest extreme. Consumed by his eugenic 1 vision, he dreamed of a future society built on a race of pure-breeding supermen. (p. 3)
Show More
1 According to the Oxford American Dictionary, eugenics is the "science of improving a human population by controlled breeding to increase the occurrence of desirable heritable characteristics. Developed largely by Francis Galton as a method of improving the human race, it fell into disfavor only after the perversion of its doctrines by the Nazis."

ASSIGNMENT
:
Audience:
Other cultural anthropology students
Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is to have students demonstrate an understanding of social inequality as it is manifested in different cultural settings.
Most societies have systems of social inequality that result in people having differential access to property, power and prestige. Anthropological research has demonstrated that the most common forms of social inequality are based on sex, race/ethnicity, caste and socioeconomic class.
Directions:
Choose
two specific cultural examples
of the kinds of social inequality listed above and describe how the lives of individuals are affected by the types of inequality you have identified. Both examples must be drawn from the cultures discussed in the class materials.
For both of your examples, identify and describe the social, economic, political or global conditions you believe to be most responsible for maintaining these examples of social inequality over time.
Do you believe anthropologists are or are not ethically obligated to try to find ways to eliminate social inequality in other cultures?

An outline for the research paper
An important part of our course is researching information on diversity and multiculturalism and its social, cultural, and ethical impact upon individual citizens, groups of people, and society at large.
Below are four scenarios pertaining to cultural diversity. For this assignment, you will prepare a research paper that focuses on one of these scenarios, analyzing what happened, what the consequences either are or might be, and how the situation can be corrected and or prevented in the future. These must be concrete suggestions that could actually be implemented rather than vague references or opinions. While the situations have been fictionalized, there have been actual situations that are very similar. You will submit the report in three sections throughout the course, with a due date for each section. These due dates are posted on the Course Schedule.

Compare and Contrast Essay AssignmentA Compare and Contrast essa
Compare and Contrast Essay Assignment
A Compare and Contrast essay explores the similarities and differences between two or more items, ideas, topics, trends, works, etc. When we compare, we point out the similarities between two items, and when we contrast, we show their differences. In fact, Compare and Contrast is one of the main rhetorical strategies that writers use to develop ideas and support their arguments.
For this assignment, you will write a Compare and Contrast essay in which you will
explore the similarities and differences between two of the following topics:
1. Generation Z vs. Millennials
2. Generation Z vs. Generation X
3. How Generation Z is perceived vs How Generation Z really is according to you
The American Family Then and Now
1. Compare and Contrast the way and times in which you were raised to that of children today. Do you think that your parent’s were more strict or concerned than today’s parents? Do you think that kids today expect too much? Provide specific examples as to how kids today are being raised similarly and differently than you.
2. How has the role of the woman changed in the family? Is this change good for families? How has the emergence of women in the workforce and their becoming "bread winners" affected the family?
3. As I look at the male figures in my own family, I can see that the role of the male has changed in two generations. My grandfather, for example, has never changed a diaper or cooked a meal in fifty-two years of marriage, yet I do these two things often. In your own family, how has the role of your gender changed in the last two generations. While the changes are probably many, there are still some things that have probably stayed the same. In considering this topic, be sure to include some of the things that are similar regarding the role of your gender in your family structure.
4. More and more couples are choosing not to be married. How and why is this different from the past? Why are people not getting married? How does the affect the family?
5. Non-traditional families are becoming the new normal in the United States. Discuss and compare the traditional family and non-traditional families.
Your purpose for this essay will be to simply inform your audience on their similarities and differences, on the relative merits of the items discussed, and establish the significance of this comparison and contrast. This last point will be expressed in the thesis of your essay which will also strengthen your essay and clarify its purpose.
Process
The first thing you want to do is brainstorm everything you know about each topic, research both of them, go back and look for connections that show similarities and differences, and then develop your thesis. Remember to select only those aspects that are explicitly comparable or contrastable. After you have formulated your thesis statement, established your basis of comparison, and selected your points for discussion, you are ready to organ ...

My friend liked her class, but she felt that the teacher was very cold. She said the teacher just taught grammar and never asked about the students’ families or talked about her own.
A man commented one day that the reason there are so many single women in Canada is that they are lazy. His female friend was surprised and insulted by his attitude.
A young woman had recently arrived in Canada ready to start a new life. She found the weather a little cold but still enjoyed wearing the same style she wore at home—tight skirts and tight tops that had low neck- lines. After about a month, she began to notice people staring at her. She thought they were looking at her because she was a foreigner. Then one day someone told her that only prostitutes dressed that way. She felt angry and insulted.
Next choose from the following cultural orientations and themes as they relate to the critical incidents (can be more than one). Explain how your chosen critical incident relates to one or more cultural orientation(s) and theme(s) in your report:

Death and grief on-line: Virtual memorialization and changing
concepts of childhood death and parental
bereavement on the Internet
LISA M MITCHELL, PETER H STEPHENSON*, SUSAN CADELL"^ AND MARY ELLEN MACDONALD'
Department of Anthropology, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada; *School of
Environmental Studies and Department of Anthropology, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC,
Canada; ^School of Social Work, Renison University College, University of Waterloo, Waterloo,
ON, Canada; 'Faculty of Dentistry, McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada
A B S T R A C T : 'Virtual memorials' intended to memorialize the lives of children imply significant shifts in the conceptualiza-
tion of death, particularly for grieving parents. Created by parents in memory of their deceased children, on-line memorials
constructed using templates reflect strong cultural beließ about the nature of childhood deaths, grief and the development of a
kind of distal afterlife. Yirtual memorials create a new social value for the deceased and shift death and bereavement from
private into more public experiences. Building upon this work, we describe a kind of 'on-line immortality' created through
virtual memorials where the virtiud presence of the deceased in text and images, and practices intended to sustain a relation-
ship with the deceased can extend bereavement and the social lives of the dead indefinitely. While such memorials can offer
solace, they also potentiate business opportunities for those hoping to create lasting customers. As such, they may also extend
mourning indefinitely. This may be especiaUy true for certain kinds of deeply problematic deaths, such as those of children.
KEYWORDS: virtual, online, memorials, grief, children, parents
Though many people sit night after night intheir living rooms watching various kinds of
'death' and irmumerable dead bodies as a form
of entertainment (e.g., CSI, Bones), the death of
loved ones and the grief which follows are still
mosdy sequestered from everyday life in eco-
nomically and technologically advantaged coun-
tries, including Canada. Grief and bereavement
are confmed to specific times and places, and are
mainly private, or secluded experiences. Most
deaths take place in hospitals, nursing homes, and
hospices, and are managed by health care profes-
sionals who also inform the bereaved of what is
'normal' and what is 'pathological' in the grief
process, and offer ways to 'resolve' grief and to
grieve properly. Anthropological research has
long established that the dead in many cultural
contexts have social lives (Baydala, Hampton,
Rinunwa, Kinunwa, & Kinunwa, 2006; Counts
& Counts, 2004; Hattori, McCubbin, & Ishida,
2006; Keesing, 1982; Rodman & Rodman,
1983). But, until recendy the dominant approach
in Canadian bereavement care has been that
survivors should view death as fmal and they

Statistical properties of (moving-average) rule returns
Date: 23 October 2018
Jen-Wen Lin, PhD, CFA
1. Introduction
Technical indicator is widely used to generate trading signals by practitioners to make
trading decisions. The usual rule is to trade with the trend. In this case, the trader initiates a
position early in the trend and maintains that position as long as the trend continues.
In this assignment, you are asked to study the statistical properties of returns for applying
the oldest and most widely used method in technical indicators—moving averages.1
The structure of this paper is given as follows. Section 2 defines the trading rule (or
strategy). In Section 3 and 4, we formulate the trading return based on a given trading rule and
state the corresponding statistical properties, respectively. The questions for you to answer are
listed in Section 5. Finally, references and appendix are given in Section 6 and 7, respectively.
2. Trading rule
Suppose that at each time 𝑡, market participants predict the direction of the trend of asset
prices using a price-based forecast 𝐹#, where 𝐹# is a function of past asset prices
𝐹# = 𝑓(𝑃#,…,𝑃#*+,-,…).
1 The simplest rule of this family is the single moving average which says when the rate penetrates from below
(above) a moving average of a given length, a buy (sell) signal is generated.
Copyright © Jen-Wen Lin 2018
2
The above predictor is then converted to buy and sell trading signals 𝐵#: buy (+1) and sell (-1)
using, i.e.
{
"𝑆𝑒𝑙𝑙" ⇔ 𝐵# = −1 ⇔ 𝐹# < 0
"𝐵𝑢𝑦" ⇔ 𝐵# = +1 ⇔ 𝐹# > 0
Note that the signal of a trading rule is completely defined by one of the inequalities giving a
sell or buy order (if the position is not short, it is long).
For example, consider a trading rule based on the moving average of order five rule (𝑚 =
5). In this case, 𝑓 is given by
𝑓(𝑃#,…,𝑃#*+,-) = 𝑃# −
∑ 𝑃#*BCBDE
5
.
In this case, we buy the asset (𝐵# = +1) at time 𝑡 + 1when
𝐹# > 0 ⟺ 𝑃# >
∑ 𝑃#*BCBDE
5
;
and sell the asset (𝐵# = −1) when
𝐹# < 0 ⟺ 𝑃# <
∑ 𝑃#*BCBDE
5
.
The Figure below illustrates the dynamics of the above 5-periods moving average method—
when the rate penetrates from below (above) the moving average of order five, a buy (sell)
signal is generated.
Copyright © Jen-Wen Lin 2018
3
For your assignment, we consider 𝐹# based on a moving-average technical indicator. In
general, for a given moving-average indicator, 𝐹# may be expressed as (a function of log
returns):
𝐹# = 𝛿 + I 𝑑K𝑋#*K
+*M
KDE
, (1)
where 𝑋# = 𝑙𝑛(𝑃# 𝑃#*-⁄ ), 𝛿 and 𝑑K are defined by a given trading rule (See Appendix for more
details). For this assignment, we assume 𝛿 = 0.

The Special
Senses
Copyright © John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
Special SensesRecall that a sensation is the conscious or subconscious awareness of an internal or external stimulus
For this chapter, “external stimulus” means light rays striking the retina of the eye, sound waves impinging on the tympanic membrane of the ear, molecules in the air and food transmitting smells and tastes to the chemical sensors in the nose an on the tongue, and the force of gravity acting on equilibrium receptors in the inner ear which sense changes in inertia
Copyright © John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
Special SensesReceptors for the special senses of smell, taste, vision, hearing, and equilibrium are anatomically distinct from one another and are concentrated in specific locations in the head
In addition to the stimuli and the receptors, there are specific afferent pathways and translation sites in the brain for information assembled from these special senses
Copyright © John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
Special Senses
General Senses
Include somatic sensations (tactile, thermal, pain, and proprioceptive) and visceral sensations
Are scattered throughout the body
Are relatively simple structures
Special Senses

Olfaction and TasteOlfaction is the process of perceiving smells. Smell and taste are brought about through the interpretation of chemicals present in the environment
Olfactory and gustatory (taste) impulses travel not only to the cerebral cortex, but also to the limbic systemthis is why we can have emotional responses and trigger strong memories to certain smells and tastesgustation and olfaction work together but olfaction
is much stronger/more sensitive (when someone has a cold it is difficult to taste food)
Copyright © John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
OlfactionThe olfactory epithelium is located in the superior part of the nasal cavity covering the surface of the cribriform plate and extending along the superior nasal concha
Copyright © John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
OlfactionThe olfactory epithelium consists of 3 kinds of cells:
The olfactory receptor is a bipolar neuron with cilia (called olfactory hairs). There are 10-100 million of these receptors in the nose that respond to odorant molecules
Supporting cells provide
support and nourishment
Basal cells are stem cells
that replace olfactory
receptors

The Aztec Account of the
Conquest of Mexico
edited by Miguel León Portillo
1
OVERVIEW
The Native Americans left few written records of the arrival of the Spanish conqueror
Hernán Cortés in Tenochtitlán (today's Mexico City) in 1519. From them, however, Miguel
León Portillo, a Mexican anthropologist, constructed an eyewitness account of how Cortés
treated the Native Americans and seized Montezuma (also known as Moctezuma) before
going on to destroy the city and to take over much of what is present-day Mexico.
GUIDED READING As you read, consider the following questions:
• How did Montezuma’s messengers describe Cortés and his troops?
• How did Cortés and his troops treat the Native Americans?
he Spaniards arrived in Xoloco, near the entrance to Tenochtitlan. That
was the end of the march, for they had reached their goal.
Motecuhzoma now arrayed himself in his finery, preparing to go out to
meet them. The other great princes also adorned their persons, as did the
nobles and their chieftains and knights. They all went out together to meet the
strangers.
They brought trays heaped with the finest flowers—the flower that
resembles a shield; the flower shaped like a heart; in the center, the flower with
the sweetest aroma; and the fragrant yellow flower, the most precious of all.
They also brought garlands of flowers, and ornaments for the breast, and
necklaces of gold, necklaces hung with rich stones, necklaces fashioned in the
petatillo style.
Thus Motecuhzoma went out to meet them, there in Huitzillan. He
presented many gifts to the Captain and his commanders, those who had
come to make war. He showered gifts upon them and hung flowers around
their necks; he gave them necklaces of flowers and bands of flowers to adorn
their breasts; he set garlands of flowers upon their heads. Then he hung the
gold necklaces around their necks and gave them presents of every sort as gifts
of welcome. . . .
Report on the Spaniards
The messengers reported to the king. They told him how they had made
the journey, and what they had seen, and what food the strangers ate.
Motecuhzoma was astonished and terrified by their report, and the description
of the strangers' food astonished him above all else.
T

He was also terrified to learn how the cannon roared, how its noise
resounded, how it caused one to faint and grow deaf. The messengers told
him: "A thing like a ball of fire comes out of its entrails: it comes out shooting
sparks and raining fire. The smoke that comes out with it has a pestilent odor,
like that of rotten mud. This odor penetrates even to the brain and causes the
greatest discomfort. If the cannon is aimed against a mountain, the mountain
splits and cracks open. If it is aimed against a tree, it shatters the tree into
splinters. This is a mo.

CHAPTER 3
The Interorganizational Context of Public Administration
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Understanding the relationships among the many groups—public, private, and
nonprofit—that drive the effectiveness of public programs and affect the work of the
public manager
2. Learning about the federal system of government and the complexities of
intergovernmental relations that result from federalism
3. Understanding how the relationship and power division between federal and state
governments has evolved
4. Exploring the issues associated with privatization and contracting and public-private
partnerships
5. Understanding the unique challenges of nonprofit organizations
SUMMARY OVERVIEW
This chapter is concerned with relationships among public-sector organizations, an issue that has
become an increasingly important focus for public administrators at all levels. Given the
complexity of modern society, the work of a public administrator likely will involve an intricate
set of relationships with a variety of groups external to the administrator’s own agency, including
public, nonprofit, and private organizations. The chapter includes a comprehensive discussion
about the concept of intergovernmental relations (IGR), which the authors define as “the complex
and interdependent relationships among those at various levels of government as they seek to
develop and implement public programs,” and federalism, which is the relationship and division
of power between the federal government and state governments.
This discussion addresses the changing patterns of funding for public programs, which is
instrumental to an understanding of intergovernmental relations, and touches on the various
approaches to federalism that have been employed in the United States. This includes a
description of how recent presidential administrations, from Reagan to Obama, have approached
the relationship between the federal government and the states, and offers insights into the courts’
influence in this area as well. This chapter also addresses IGR from the perspective of states and
localities, including funding and the use of preemptions and mandates, and includes a discussion
of subnational relationships, including state-to-state, state-to-local, and local-to-local.
This is followed by an examination of the relationships between governmental and
nongovernmental organizations in the public sector, highlighting the role of the latter in the
policy process. As the authors note, not only have nonprofit, for-profit, and faith-based
organizations taken a leading role in delivering public services, they also play an important part in
bringing issues to the public agenda and influencing decisions about public problems. An
important theme running throughout this discussion concerns a description and an evaluation of

Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” originally published 1894.
The Story of an Hour
Kate Chopin
Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break
to her as gently as possible the news of her husband's death.
It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences; veiled hints that revealed in
half concealing. Her husband's friend Richards was there, too, near her. It was he who had been
in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently
Mallard's name leading the list of "killed." He had only taken the time to assure himself of its
truth by a second telegram, and had hastened to forestall any less careful, less tender friend in
bearing the sad message.
She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to
accept its significance. She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister's arms.
When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no
one follow her.
There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair. Into this she sank,
pressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul.
She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with
the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was
crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly,
and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.
There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and
piled one above the other in the west facing her window.
She sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of the chair, quite motionless, except
when a sob came up into her throat and shook her, as a child who has cried itself to sleep
continues to sob in its dreams.
She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain
strength. But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on
one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a
suspension of intelligent thought.

Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” originally published 1894.
There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. What was it? She
did not know; it was too subtle and elusive to name. But she felt it, creeping out of the sky,
reaching toward her through the sounds, the scents, the color that filled the air.
Now her bosom rose and fell tumultuously. She was beginning to recognize this thing that
was approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back with her will—as powerless
as her two white slender hands would have been.
When she abandone.

Case 1: Arnold, a 62-year-old plumber, had been experiencing a series of symptoms, including increased thirst, frequent urination, and
unusual weight loss. After some prodding from his wife, he went to see his family physician, Dr. Lopez. The doctor gave him a physical
exam, ordered some blood work, and scheduled a follow-up appointment. On the return visit, Arnold sat down with the doctor to discuss
his diagnosis. Dr. Lopez explained, “You have noninsulin-dependent diabetes or type 2 diabetes, which is a chronic condition that affects
the way your body metabolizes glucose. Insulin is a pancreatic hormone that transforms dietary glucose into energy for your cells. If you
had type 1 diabetes, it would mean that your pancreas produces little or no insulin. However, with type 2 diabetes, your pancreas produc-
es sufficient amounts of insulin, but your cells are no longer utilizing it efficiently, which causes fluctuation in your blood glucose levels. To
treat your condition, you’ll need to start eating a healthy diet, start exercising regularly, and monitor your blood sugar. I’m writing you a
prescription for Metformin and a glucose monitor.” After finishing his explanation, Dr. Lopez asked Arnold if he had any questions. Slightly
stunned, Arnold just shook his head and replied, “No.” Dr. Lopez also told him that his practice has a diabetes fact sheet posted on their
website and suggested that he look it up and read it. Arnold thanked him and left. He went to the pharmacy to have his prescription filled
and also bought a bottle of glucosamine, a dietary supplement used by some people to treat joint pain. When his wife asked what the
glucosamine was for, Arnold said, “I think I’m supposed to be taking it. The doctor mentioned it a few times.”
1. What are some reasons why Arnold likely did not understand what Dr. Lopez told him?
2. What could Dr. Lopez have done to better present the information in a way that Arnold would understand?
3. Was it a good idea for Dr. Lopez to refer Arnold to his practice’s website for more information? Why or why not?
Case 2: Dr. Falk and Dr. Keller operate a family medical practice. One afternoon, as they ate lunch in the break room, they discussed an
article about health literacy that Dr. Falk was reading in a national news magazine. “There’s been a growing trend toward healthcare or-
ganizations becoming health literate,” Dr. Keller said. “The statistics are pretty surprising,” Dr. Falk replied. “More than half of the people
surveyed had only basic or below basic health literacy skills.” “Do you think it’s something we should look into at our practice?” Dr. Keller
asked. “I think we should,” Dr. Falk replied. While they were talking, Amanda, the office manager, and Jean, one of the nurses, came
into the break room to get some coffee. They overheard what the doctors were discussing, and Amanda asked Jean, “What.

Types of Files and File Access MethodsIn general, two types of files
Text file: contains data that has been encoded as text
Binary file: contains data that has not been converted to textTwo ways to access data stored in file
Sequential access: file read sequentially from beginning to end, can’t skip ahead
Direct access: can jump directly to any piece of data in the file

Topic: In the box below, state the topic of your research as a full sentence.
How do addictions of a family member affect nonaddicted family members?
Preliminary Thesis Statement: In the box below, state your preliminary thesis statement as
a full sentence or two. (Note: Your thesis statement may change as you discover new
information about your topic.)
Addiction has a devastating effect on families. When a family member is addicted to
drugs or alcohol, tension, miscommunication, and frequent arguments are likely to become a
part of the addict’s household. (DrugRehab.org, 2016).
List the curiosity questions you asked about the topic before researching it.
What is addiction, and what are the different types of addiction?
How does addiction affect family life?
How does addiction of a parent or parents affect a child?
How does addiction of a spouse affect a person?
What are the consequences of addiction?
How does addiction of a child affect the parents?
How does addiction affect the social life of a family that has an addicted member?
What kinds of people are prone to addiction?
What causes addiction?
How should the problem of addiction be dealt with?
What other points of view, in addition to your own, did you consider before deciding your
position on this specific topic?
Comment [A1]: Hi! Wonderful thesis
statement—it clearly establishes the point of
view and position for you paper.
Comment [A2]: Hi! The citation should come
before the final period in the sentence.
Comment [A3]: Hi! Great curiosity question
that reflect an open-minded approach to the
topic and a willingness to see where the
information will take you!

Before deciding my position on addiction, I considered the following points of view, in
addition to my own:
• Addiction of a family member is beneficial to nonaddict family members.
• Addiction of a family member does not affect nonaddict family members.
• Addiction of a family member may affect nonaddict children and adolescents in the family
as they tend to have impressionable minds.
• Addiction of a family member may affect nonaddict family members who have poor
mental health.
• Addiction of a family member may affect nonaddict family members who can be easily
influenced.
Comment [A4]: Hi! Wonderful job looking at
point of view! With points of view, we’re looking
at different ways the topic could be viewed from
a top-view level. The thesis is that addiction is
harmful for the non-addicted family member. A
starting point for looking at different points of
view is start with the opposite: addiction is
beneficial for the non-addict family member.
That may seem to viola.

Introduction
Is our democracy in danger? It is a question we never thought we’d be
asking. We have been colleagues for fifteen years, thinking, writing, and
teaching students about failures of democracy in other places and times—
Europe’s dark 1930s, Latin America’s repressive 1970s. We have spent years
researching new forms of authoritarianism emerging around the globe. For
us, how and why democracies die has been an occupational obsession.
But now we find ourselves turning to our own country. Over the past two
years, we have watched politicians say and do things that are unprecedented
in the United States—but that we recognize as having been the precursors
of democratic crisis in other places. We feel dread, as do so many other
Americans, even as we try to reassure ourselves that things can’t really be
that bad here. After all, even though we know democracies are always
fragile, the one in which we live has somehow managed to defy gravity. Our
Constitution, our national creed of freedom and equality, our historically
robust middle class, our high levels of wealth and education, and our large,
diversified private sector—all these should inoculate us from the kind of
democrat.

Twelfth Edition
Chapter 1
What Is Psychology?
Copyright © 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Psychology, Pseudoscience, and
Popular Opinion
• LO 1.1.A Define psychology, and describe how it
addresses topics from a scientific perspective.
• LO 1.1.B Provide examples of pseudoscience,
psychobabble, popular opinion, and “plain old
common sense” related to psychological topics,
and describe how scientific psychology would
address such claims.
Copyright © 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
What Psychology Is
• Psychology is the discipline concerned with
behavior and mental processes and how they are
affected by an organism’s external and internal
environment.
• Unlike pop psychology, scientific psychology is
based on research and empirical evidence.
– gathered by careful observation, experimentation, and
measurement
Copyright © 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
What Psychology Is Not (1 of 4)
• Psychologists have many pseudoscientific
competitors, such as astrologers and psychics.
• Like psychologists, promoters of nonscientific
systems try to explain people’s problems and
predict their behavior.
• When their claims are put to the test, they turn out
to be so vague as to be meaningless or just plain
wrong.
Copyright © 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
What Psychology Is Not (2 of 4)
• Psychology’s methods and reliance on empirical
evidence distinguish it from pseudoscience and
“psychobabble.”
• Like scientists in other fields, psychological
researchers strive to:
– discover new phenomena and correct mistaken ideas
– deepen our understanding of an already familiar world
Copyright © 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
What Psychology Is Not (3 of 4)
• Psychobabble is appealing because it confirms
our beliefs and prejudices.
• In contrast, psychology often challenges them.
• Fully understanding basic human processes that
most people take for granted often involves:
– examining them in a new light
– turning common wisdom on its head for a different
perspective
– shaking up cherished beliefs to see why and when they
hold true

Psychology
• LO 1.2.A Explain why critical thinking applies to all
scientific pursuits, and also why it should guide
everyday judgments and decision making.
• LO 1.2.B List eight important critical-thinking
guidelines and give an example of how each
applies to the science of psychology.

Berkshire Instruments
Al Hansen, the newly appointed vice president of finance of Berkshire Instruments, was eager to talk to
his investment banker about future financing for the firm. One of Al’s first assignments was to
determine the firm’s cost of capital. In assessing the weights to use in computing the cost of capital, he
examined the current balance sheet, presented in Figure 1 below.
In their discussion, Al and his investment banker determined that the current mix in the capital structure
was very close to optimal and that Berkshire Instruments should continue with it in the future. Of some
concern was the appropriate cost to assign to each of the elements in the capital structure. Al Hansen
requested that his administrative assistant provide data on what the cost to issue debt and preferred
stock had been in the past. The information is provided in Figure 2 below.
When Al got the data, he felt he was making real progress toward determining the cost of capital for the
firm. However, his investment banker indicated that he was going about the process in an incorrect
manner. The important issue is the current cost of funds, not the historical cost. The banker suggested
that a comparable firm in the industry, in terms of size and bond rating (Baa), Rollins Instruments, had
issued bonds a year and a half ago for 9.3 percent interest at a $1,000 par value, and the bonds were
currently selling for $890. The bonds had 20 years remaining to maturity. The banker also observed that
Rollings Instruments had just issued preferred stock at $60 per share, and the preferred stock paid an
annual dividend of $4.80.
In terms of cost of common equity, the banker suggested that Al Hansen use the dividend valuation
model as a first approach to determining cost of equity. Based on that approach, Al observed that
earnings were $3 a share and that 40 percent would be paid out in dividends (D1). The current stock
price was $25. Dividends in the last four years had grown from 82 cents to the current value.
The banker indicated that the under-writing cost (flotation cost) on a preferred stock issue would be
$2.60 per share and $2.00 per share on common stock. Al Hansen further observed that his firm was in a
35 percent marginal tax bracket.
With all this information in hand, Al Hansen sat down to determine his firm’s cost of capital. He was a
little confused about computing the firm’s cost of common equity. He knew there were two different
formulas: One: One for the cost of retained earnings and one for the cost of new common stock. His
investment banker suggested that he follow the normally accepted approach used in determining the
marginal c.

What is
Organizational Buying?Business market
Consists of all the organizations that acquire goods and services used in the production of other products or services that are sold, rented, or supplied to others
Frederick E. Webster Jr. and Yoram Wind define organizational buying as the decision-making process by which formal organizations establish the need for purchased products and services and identify, evaluate, and choose among alternative brands and suppliers. Any firm that supplies components for products is in the business-to-business marketplace. More dollars and items change hands in sales to business buyers than to consumers.

Business marketsFewer, larger buyersClose supplier–customer relationshipsProfessional purchasingMultiple buying influencesMultiple sales callsDerived demandInelastic demandFluctuating demandGeographically concentrated buyersDirect purchasing
Business marketers contrast sharply with consumer markets in some ways. The business marketer normally deals with far fewer, much larger buyers than the consumer marketer does, particularly in such industries as aircraft engines and defense weapons. Because of the smaller customer base and the importance and power of the larger customers, suppliers are frequently expected to customize their offerings to individual business customer needs. Business goods are often purchased by trained purchasing agents, who must follow their organizations’ purchasing policies, constraints, and requirements. More people typically influence business buying decisions. Buying committees consisting of technical experts and even senior management are common in the purchase of major goods. A study by McGraw-Hill found that it took four to four-and-a-half calls to close an average industrial sale. The demand for business goods is ultimately derived from the demand for consumer goods. The total demand for many business goods and services is inelastic—that is, not much affected by price changes. The demand for business goods and services tends to be more volatile than the demand for consumer goods and services. The geographical concentration of producers helps to reduce selling costs. Business buyers often buy directly from manufacturers .

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Unit 5 Module 5 - M5 Assignment 1Assignment 1 Ethnograph.docx
- 1. Unit 5: Module 5 - M5 Assignment 1 Assignment 1: Ethnographic Comparison Anthropologists are interested in framing broad hypotheses about human behavior. In order to do this, it is imperative to use examples from multiple cultures to ensure that their conclusions are not grounded in a single case. In this assignment, you will be taking on the role of an ethnologist, using multiple ethnographic accounts to study human behavior and culture. Do the following: • Identify two to three societies to compare such as African, Indian, Chinese, Korean, or Native American. Please note that these are suggested societies; you may choose something not on this list. • Choose one aspect of human culture discussed in the course: ◦ Domestic life and kinship ◦ Subsistence and economy ◦ Religion ◦ Culture change Using the module readings, Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, write a research paper to include the following:
- 2. • Describe the background information of each of the societies you have chosen. You need not analyze this background information, only provide details regarding these societies. • Analyze the aspect of human culture you selected for each of the societies. • Compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the societies in relation to the topic you chose—for example, standard of living, education, or employment opportunities. • Summarize and address human behavior in relation to your topic and based on your examples. ◦ Address the realities of life for the cultures you have examined. ◦ Examine some of the social problems and public policy issues that become apparent. Your paper should have a title page as well as an introduction section. This introduction section should include the societies you selected as well as the human culture aspect you will be discussing and why it is relevant to anthropology. As an anthropologist, use relevant anthropological terms in your analysis. Support your statements with examples and scholarly

Unit 4: Module 4 - M4 Assignment 2 Assignment 2: Analyzing Religions The US culture has a broad spectrum of religious affiliations and religiosity. As a result of interacting with people who share similarities, people seldom evaluate the main premises of other religions. This assignment will give you the opportunity to explore two religions that are new to you. Using Argosy University online library resources, identify and research • Two religions which are unfamiliar to you. • Select two peer-reviewed academic resources on these selected religions. Based on your research, complete the following:
- 5. • Compare and contrast these religions from an anthropological perspective. • Describe the history of the religion. Be sure to include the following: ◦ When and how it was first founded ◦ Details of initial leaders of the movement and spread of the religion • Explain the main principles of each religion’s belief systems, the religious texts—if utilized—and the significant practices. • Examine the role religious leaders have in these religions as well as the roles devotees or followers play. • Describe how the religions view at least three varying social norms or cultural issues. • Examine how these two religions coexist in a globalized world. Support your statements with examples. Be sure to include a list of scholarly references. Write a 3–4-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M4_A2.doc. By Wednesday, July 9, 2014, deliver your assignment to the M4: Assignment 2 Dropbox.
