You will be required to write a thread of at least 400 words on the topic, complete with page references and specifics to document the response, and post it to the corresponding Discussion Board Forum. Correct use of English and grammar are required. 1. Conduct an Internet search to find and read 3 recent articles that relate to the term. 2. Select the 1 article that you wish to discuss. 3. Post a new thread that contains the following information in the following format, using the headers so that you ensure that all aspects of the assignment are completed as required. Failure to follow these instructions will result in a 1-point deduction. a. Definition: Give a brief definition of the key term followed by the APA reference for the term; this does not count in the 400-word requirement. b. Summary: Give a brief summary of the selected article, in your own words. c. Discussion: i. Give a brief discussion of how the article relates to the selected chapter key term. This gives you the opportunity to add value to the discussion by sharing your experiences, thoughts, and opinions. Draw your peers into discussion of topics by asking questions. This is the most important part of the posting! Discussion Board Example Groupthink Definition: Organizational Behavior notes, “Groupthink is the tendency of highly cohesive groups to value consensus at the price of decision quality” (McShane & Von Glinow, 2008, p. 257). Summary: The article entitled “The Turn to Online Research is Narrowing the Range of Modern Scholarship, a New Study Suggests” written by Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow discusses how the internet has made accessing research and other things on the internet extremely easy. By using search engines this has caused groupthink for many students conducting research. (Instructor Note: This is a shorter summary. Do not feel like you have to limit yourself to this length in the summary section.) Discussion: The internet has made performing research for students a matter of seconds. Students used to have to go to the library and conduct research out of textbooks and other publications but now by simply typing your subject in a search engine a variety of choices are at your fingertips. “Millions of journal articles are available online, enabling scholars to find material they never would have encountered at their university libraries” (Tuhus-Dubrow). A recent study by James Evans, a sociologist at the University of Chicago, has “determined that as more journal issues came online news papers referenced a relatively smaller pool of articles which tended to be more recent, at the expense of older and more obscure work” (Tuhus-Dubrow). The internet just like everything else has it costs as well as benefits. ...

kim woods Introduction & Concepts: The very idea of the “modern world” is complex; in fact, it is impossible to describe and fully comprehend the multitude of people, ideas, and events that defined modern world history. But, by channeling this multitude into broad categories and identifying themes or issues that different people, ideas, and events shared in common, we can make sense of an otherwise chaotic mass of information. One main idea that many people in the modern world embraced was “freedom.” However, different people defined “freedom” in different ways in various times and places. Our job as historians is to understand what freedom meant to people in the past and to describe the ways they sought to gain or keep their liberty—or the ways in which some people or groups restricted the freedom of others. To aid you in this effort, think about the following four types of freedom and how the material from HIS 11 might relate to each one: Freedom of Action (to do what you want) Freedom of Conscience (to say or think what you want) Freedom of Association (to have the friends or allies you want) Economic Freedom (to choose how you work and what you buy) Project Assignment: Your project this semester is to trace the way one (1) of these four types of freedom developed, changed, and affected the lives of people and/or the shapes of societies over the span of the modern era. During the semester, you will write a series of essays (one short Response Paper and the Midterm Exam), which will help you develop your ideas about freedom and relate them to different historical examples. The last essay will be a 4-6 page paper due by 11:59 PM on December 4 2016 . All essays except the Midterm should be typed, double-spaced, in 12-point Times New Roman font, and turned in through SafeAssign on Blackboard. Your semester project paper must contain the following elements: A clear and concise thesis statement Clearly identified sources of information (in footnotes or MLA citations) Multiple historical examples that support your thesis Your thesis will come from the following process: Identify one of the four (4) types of freedom above that will be the theme of your project. (You will inform me of your choice in your first response paper.) Choose three (3) major events, subjects, or historical figures covered in the course materials this semester that you think relate to your chosen type of freedom. Each historical example should come from a different one of the ten units listed on the syllabus. In other words, each example should cover a different place and time — do not draw all of your examples from a single historical period or location. Select three (3) primary sources from the documents listed on the HIS 11 Syllabus—one related to each example you chose above. Your thesis should then address the following questions: Comparing and contrasting your historical examples and documents, do they show change or continuity in the .

Quality Planning vs Quality Assurance vs Quality Control (Streaming video). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCgzbYi_Iw8 As project work is executed, project managers make certain that quality assurance is performed activities that are undertaken to ensure that a project uses the processes needed to meet quality requirements. Quality control entails monitoring specific project results to determine whether they meet relevant quality standards, which have been defined with the project scope. For example, in IT projects, factors that can negatively affect the likelihood of success may include advances in technology during the project's execution, infrastructure changes that impact security and data management, or the risks involved in implementing new technology for the first time.

P rocess Explanation , read the four paragraph and outline the methodology used while writing an essay. The size for this entry is no less then 150 words. 1. The Methodology of the Process Explanation essay. The process of writing requires proper understanding of the concepts. It is not just an area where any person can decide to focus on without understanding the skill. The instructor has a role of keeping the audience attentive. The first process in writing is the rewriting process. This is a process where the first ideas are written down. It is the preliminary stage of writing. The next step is on providing an outline for the preliminary writing. The third process is on writing a rough draft which will help the audience in understanding the importance of these steps in the writing process. The fourth is doing a revision of the draft, which focuses on looking for any mistakes and correcting them. The last step is editing of the work, which is finalizing on the whole paper, removing any grammatical errors and any mistakes (Lard bucket, 2012). 2. Culture-this refers to the beliefs, practices, values attitudes and experiences of a group of people who have a common origin or share a geographical background. It describes all aspects of life a group of related individuals. Social constructions-are the meanings, connotations and notions associated with events, objects or even names of people in an environment. These notions affect people’ s interactions with the objects or participation in events. Social constructions are natural and very acceptable for those using them but have no factual basis on them. Globalization- is the process of cultural integration among individuals, organizations and nations for the purpose of economic, social and political collaboration. Globalization involves interactions through modern communication technology to create relations across the world. This transforms the world into one small area accessible to all people. 3. Definitions plays a crucial role in reaching the audience. Definition clarifies some terminologies and enhance the passage of the message to the audience. Definition also increases the meaning of some terms and is used to ensure that the right message is passed to the audience. Definition also helps contextualize some terms and make it more meaningful. A very good article where the definition played a crucial role is an article in the New York Times dated January, 28, 2014 by Thomas B. Edsall entitled Capitalism vs. Democracy. In this article, the author tries to define Capitalism and Democracy from economic perspective. The author borrowed the definition from French newspaper and claoms that the capital system in the 21 st century is “a political and theoretical bulldozer.” By using the term political bulldozer, the audience will begin to think deeply about it. They will start to imagine how capital can be a bulldozer and in the process, they will get deeper perspective about what capita.
