theme of academic integrity and our own experiences in this class. During our written and spoken
discussions, many ideas have arisen, including how much new technology has changed human’s lives
and possibly our brains, opinions and research on multitasking, the benefits and drawbacks of using new
technology, the typical panicked response throughout history when a new kind of technology is created,
and ways to reduce the negative effects of technology in everyday life.
Assignment Requirements:
For this assignment, you will write a 3 to 4 page essay (typed and double-spaced) that answers one of
the following questions:
1. How can new technologies such as the Internet be used most effectively? In other words, how
can we minimize their negative effects and enhance their positive effects?
2. When the written language began to be widely used in Greece in the fourth century B.C.,
Socrates, a philosopher of the time, opposed it, saying that writing was a lot less flexible than
oral language and also that it would have a negative effect on our mind, destroying our ability to
memorize. What are some similar objections to the development of new technology?
3. How have new technologies such as the Internet affected education?
To successfully complete this assignment, you group must support your thesis with a variety of evidence
from at least three of our sources.

Your Final Project from this course will enable you to compare cultu.docxmelbruce90096
Your Final Project from this course will enable you to compare cultural viewpoints toward death and dying in Western society to those in other parts of the world.
Final Project Information
Overview
Your Final Project will be a medium-length essay in which you address the cultural viewpoints toward death and dying in Western society and compare these to the perspectives toward death and dying in other parts the world. As the course content will point out, much about the Western response to death and dying amplifies the process of grief and bereavement, perhaps unnecessarily. In the West, death is something that is denied and, in many ways, is something that people seem ill-equipped to deal with once the event occurs or is imminent. Your job in this paper will be to put on your social scientist cap and offer “cultural solutions” to the way that death and dying is dealt with in Western society.
Assignment
Based on your own independent research in which you compare the cultural beliefs toward death and dying in Western societies to those in Eastern societies such as China, Vietnam, Japan, and so forth, write an essay that addresses the following points:
Describe in detail the major differences between the Western viewpoint toward death and dying and those in these Eastern societies (you may focus on one country, such as China, or talk about Eastern societies more generally). Be sure to describe the rituals involved with the process of death and dying, the various technologies, or anything that helps explain these differences.
Give one specific example of a famous case of death and dying in Western society that demonstrates some of the problems or dysfunctions of the Western viewpoint (examining cases in the media, for example, will be a great place to start!).
Finally, conclude your final paper with a detailed commentary about what we can do to change the cultural beliefs toward death and dying in Western societies in a way that makes us less afraid of the dying process. Be very specific in your commentary.

Gandhi’s “Economic and Moral Progress” suggests that morality and economic prosperity do not go hand in hand. In fact, he argues, oftentimes, one loses one’s morality when one becomes wealthy. Do you agree with Gandhi? Does wealth correlate with immorality? Yes or no. Explain by referring to passages from the essay.
Compare David Suzuki’s understanding of interdependence [interconnectedness] with Ricard and Thuan’s.
Discuss the ways in which Gandhi supports his argument—first with historical examples, then with famous people, then by using the writing of a famous scientist. Is his essay more effective as he adds this type of support?
Desmond Tutu describes South Africa’s decision to seek a middle path between two extremes. What are these extremes and what is this middle path? Is Tutu right in arguing for this road down the middle?
Compare Desmond Tutu’s “middle path” with the teachings of Lao Tzu. Does Lao Tzu advocate a similar position? You might include other famous historical figures who’ve argued a similar position.
David Suzuki’s “The Sacred Balance” appears to be in two parts: first, he identifies the problem in three parts, then he identifies the solution in three parts. What is the essential problem and what is Suzuki’s solution?
Tom Shadyac’s film, “I Am” has a central thesis and advocates a certain solution. What is the basic thesis of the film and what is the solution or solution[s] he advocates? What’s the basic problem and what’s the answer? And how does he convince the audience of these truths?
Kenzaburo Oe develops a very smart and very controversial thesis. What is his thesis and what exactly does he refer to in an attempt to develop, support that thesis.
Kenzaburo Oe discusses the Great Flood [Noah] at the end of his essay and identifies something very troubling about the Western mind. What is this thing he is identifying here? How does it relate to the overall theme of the essay [man’s inhumanity to man]?

Your assignment is to report on TWO "cultural experience" visits you make during this term. After each visit, write a 500-800 word report about the visit and what you learned.
Your instructor may modify this assignment.
Instructions
For your two reports, attend two different venues from this list.
art museum or sculpture garden
significant or notable architectural site (if there is explanatory material there to help you understand it)
music concert
theater play
poetry reading or spoken word performance
dance performance
religious service, ceremony or ritual for a religion very different from yours, if you practice (for instance, if you are Christian, you may not go to another Christian denomination's service)
other displays or performances may be acceptable. Check with your instructor for approval beforehand.
Restrictions: The experience should be done in person. If this is impossible, contact the instructor to arrange for alternatives. You may not report on a cultural experience from prior to this class.
Write a report after each cultural experience (Cultural Experience Report #1 and #2).
Each report should include the following information. Include photos or links that help convey the information. As always, be sure to document all sources you consult in preparing your work.
Name and location of the museum, site, or performance event. If there is on-line information about the site or performance, include a link.
Type of museum, site or event. For example, is it a portrait museum, a poetry slam, an outdoor Shakespeare festival performance? If you attended a performance, name the performer or the piece. Be specific about what you attended, when, and where.
Briefly describe the general setting.
Describe at least one aspect of the experience that you found especially interesting. For example, you might write about a particular work of art, cultural artifact, song, dance section, scene in a play, costumes or lighting, a particular actor or vocalist, etc. Explain what impressed you, and why. Your reaction can be positive or negative, as long as you offer an explanation.
Identify and use at least two things you've learned in class in your essay. For example, if you visit a museum, you might point out the architectural style, discuss an artist you've learned about in the course, or tie your experience to a class discussion.
Reflect on the relevance--if any--of your experience to your everyday life. How did the experience engage your feelings or emotions, if at all? What does this tell you about human culture, or about yourself?

Your Final Project from this course will enable you to compare cultu.docxmelbruce90096
Your Final Project from this course will enable you to compare cultural viewpoints toward death and dying in Western society to those in other parts of the world.
Final Project Information
Overview
Your Final Project will be a medium-length essay in which you address the cultural viewpoints toward death and dying in Western society and compare these to the perspectives toward death and dying in other parts the world. As the course content will point out, much about the Western response to death and dying amplifies the process of grief and bereavement, perhaps unnecessarily. In the West, death is something that is denied and, in many ways, is something that people seem ill-equipped to deal with once the event occurs or is imminent. Your job in this paper will be to put on your social scientist cap and offer “cultural solutions” to the way that death and dying is dealt with in Western society.
Assignment
Based on your own independent research in which you compare the cultural beliefs toward death and dying in Western societies to those in Eastern societies such as China, Vietnam, Japan, and so forth, write an essay that addresses the following points:
Describe in detail the major differences between the Western viewpoint toward death and dying and those in these Eastern societies (you may focus on one country, such as China, or talk about Eastern societies more generally). Be sure to describe the rituals involved with the process of death and dying, the various technologies, or anything that helps explain these differences.
Give one specific example of a famous case of death and dying in Western society that demonstrates some of the problems or dysfunctions of the Western viewpoint (examining cases in the media, for example, will be a great place to start!).
Finally, conclude your final paper with a detailed commentary about what we can do to change the cultural beliefs toward death and dying in Western societies in a way that makes us less afraid of the dying process. Be very specific in your commentary.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
Your community is opening a brand new community center. Now that yo.docx
1. Your community is opening a brand new community center.
Now that you are an expert in the field, you have been chosen
to lead a development team that will create a proposal for
interactive, fun, and educational programming activities that
will be provided for children and adolescents in this center.
Utilize problem-solving techniques in exploring developmental
issues, grounded in child development, in order to assess what
activities and items should be included in each program. Once
you have chosen these features, you will present your ideas to a
mock city council board (i.e. your instructor) with both a
written proposal describing the programming, as well as an
interactive presentation that will illustrate your ideas for
promoting continued learning throughout childhood and
adolescence.
You have been asked to propose programming for five different
age groups in the community center:
Infant (0-1 year)
Toddler (1-3 years)
Early Childhood (3-6 years)
Middle/Late Childhood (7-12 years)
Adolescence (13-18 years)
There are two parts to your final project; a written proposal
(Part A) and a visual presentation (Part B). In Part A, you will
be creating a written proposal in which you identify and
describe at least two weekly activities for each age group (for a
total of 10 activities) that address their developmental
pathways: physical, cognitive, and psychosocial. All three
domains of development must be addressed within your classes
or activities. For example, you may have one activity which
enhances cognitive and psychosocial development and a second
activity which enhances physical development. In addition to
identifying these activities, you will demonstrate a foundational
knowledge of the age group’s developmental continuum by
2. explaining your reasoning for choosing each activity, based on
your analysis of theory and current child development research.
Additionally, you will go “shopping” for at least one age-
appropriate game, toy, picture, or other “play” item to enhance
the chosen activities within each age group. Keep in mind that
this may include things like art, music, technology, or safety
gear as you deem fit. For each item that you recommend, your
written proposal will provide a link to a website from which the
item can be purchased by the city, as well as an explanation for
why the city should purchase the item informed by research and
theory.
The overall goal of the written proposal and visual presentation
is much like that of a grant proposal, in which a developer must
convince the city council that their new business or activity is
both cost-effective and beneficial to the community. You are
encouraged to be creative and persuasive in your proposal, but
remember that everything must be supported by the theories and
research covered in our class. Included in Part A is a Written
Proposal Template, demonstrating what information should be
included in your written portion of the project. While you are
expected to cite facts and include a reference page in your
proposal, these do not need to be read out loud in your final
visual presentation.
In addition to the written component of the assignment, Part B
will utilize a visual and audio/interactive screencast to share
your learning acquisition in child development with the
members of a mock city council (again, your instructor will be
acting as this council) in an interactive presentation which
visually and vocally presents the activities and products which
should be available for each age group. Design your community
center presentation as if you were guiding a visitor through each
activity. Your presentation will include a picture of each
activity (appropriately labeled), while you will utilize a screen
3. casting tool (such as screencast-o-matic.com) to provide the
voice-over description of the activity and item(s) to be
purchased for the activity. Below is a sample screencast
presentation, demonstrating how your own presentation might
look and what you might say in your proposal. (Please note that
this is a sample only. No part of this video should be used in
your own assignment.)
Part A: Written Proposal
You will utilize the PSY104 Written Proposal template to create
your script. Enter the requested information on the title page
where indicated. Where you find the text “This is where you
will…” within the proposal, please remove that and enter your
own content. The headings in bold and the outline formatting
with numbers and letters should not be altered.
In your Written Proposal, you must include the following:
Complete each section of the template including the information
requested.
Within section “iv” for each room, you will be asked to justify
your activities and items by analyzing interactions of the major
themes: Health and Well-Being, Family and Parenting,
Education, Culture and Gender as factors influencing the
developmental physical, cognitive and psychosocial pathways.
Your written proposal must address how you have accounted
for each of these themes in its associated room as they relate to
physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development. Each theme
must be included in at least one room, and each room must
address one or more themes. (Please see these samples for ways
to explain how you have accounted for this.)
Cite your sources according to APA style as outlined in the
Ashford Writing Center. For information regarding APA
samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, located
within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar
4. in your online course. The EBSCOHost and PSYCinfo databases
in the Ashford Online Library are helpful sources of
information, as are the required and recommended resources
found in your course materials. To locate EBSCOHost and
PSYCinfo, visit the Ashford Online Library through the tab on
the left navigation toolbar in your online course and select
"Databases by Subject" and then "Psychology." (For further
assistance in researching scholarly sources, please access the
tutorials page on the Ashford University Library website.)
Part B: Presentation
In your presentation, you must include the following:
A visual presentation which includes:
A title slide/image which includes the name of your Community
Center, a picture, your name, the course, your instructor’s
name, and the date submitted.
Ten images representing children’s activities which correspond
with what your own Community Center Rooms might look like
for each specified age group in your Written Proposal.
A 5-minute screencast which includes:
A vocal introduction to your Community Center, in which you
state a description of the overall goals of the Center and a brief
overview of some of the activities found inside.
With each of your ten activity images, you should provide very
brief vocal summary the activity, what item(s) are needed, and
the theory and research supporting your decisions.
A vocal conclusion to your presentation, in which you thank the
city council and state that this is your official recommendation
for these rooms.
You may utilize technology from this list, or any other visual or
screencast editing software which you see fit, as long as the
instructor will be able to view the presentation without needing
to download and/or pay for additional software.
