HUM 200 Project Part One: Exploration Document Guidelines and Rubric Overview We all share common experiences that can be generally classified within the major themes of art. Examples of these themes include love, mortality, identity, truth, and beauty. The representation of these themes through various media reveals central beliefs shared by a common people. The comparison of objects from the humanities with similar themes helps to uncover not only the uniqueness of each respective cultural artifact, but also a shared human consciousness that transcends time and place. Your project for this course has two parts. In Project Part One, you will complete an exploration document examining two cultural artifacts that you select, identifying a theme common to both of them and developing a thesis statement related to the theme and artifacts. You will also identify an audience who would be interested in your artifacts, theme, and thesis statement. In Project Part Two, you will develop a presentation for your audience. In your presentation, you will discuss the impact of the cultural artifacts, theme, and thesis statement on both individuals and society, supporting your claims with evidence. You will also explain how study of the humanities has impacted you both personally and professionally. In Project Part One, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:  Illustrate the impact of the humanities on personal and professional experiences  Select appropriate and relevant resources in the humanities in investigating expressions of human creativity  Communicate effectively to specific audiences in examining fundamental aspects of human culture  Apply essential principles of the humanities in exploring major themes of human culture and creativity Prompt Choose two cultural artifacts to analyze. These artifacts may take the form of any artistic medium, such as literature, poetry, music, film, dance, painting, and sculpture, and so on. Then, identify a common theme and compare your examples to one another as expressions of the same theme in different cultural artifacts. Chapters 3 through 6 in the Soomo webtext will walk you through this process. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: I. Describe the cultural artifacts that you chose. Consider questions such as these in your response: What is the name or title of the artifact? Who is the author or artist? What is the date or time period when the artifact was created? What is the cultural location or physical setting of the artifact? In addition, you could consider including a photograph or image of each cultural artifact, if they are visual artifacts. II. Identify at least one common theme that will serve as the framework of your exploration document. How is the theme expressed in your artifacts? 1 III. Explain how the theme you identified is related to your personal experience. ...

Module 2: Discussion - Refine Thesis Sentence for Research Project Research Project : Diversity in Children Literature Note from professor that its missing revised thesis plus check MLA format Original File Attached. Purpose You have been working on your research project for a few weeks now. You began with a tentative thesis sentence on a chosen research topic, and then you conducted research on that topic and created an annotated bibliography of the sources you found. Now, it is time to refine your thesis sentence for your research project. Taking time to review what your research says and using that information to refine your thesis will provide you with a strong and focused thesis sentence for your research project. Directions · Refer back to your tentative thesis sentence; think about the information you found while conducting your research on your research topic; then, revise your thesis sentence so it reflects your research. Make sure you thesis sentence includes the topic of your research, your claim about that topic, and a list of the main ideas you will use to support/prove that claim. For example: · · EXAMPLE · My Tentative Thesis: Children in the 1800s developed biases for cultural, social and religious differences as they read or were exposed to literature adults read that had been written during that era. (NOTE: After researching my tentative thesis, I discovered that my original ideas were very general and my researching efforts produced too many resources, so I narrowed my research to focus on the cultural, social and religious differences within the Appalachian people.) New Thesis Ideas Based on Research: Topic: Literature written about how religious cults impacted Appalachia people during the 1800s Claim: Child readers were influenced since they often read or were exposed to what adults read Main Ideas: Religious cults created disturbing customs, cultural beliefs and social behaviors in Appalachian communities Revised Thesis Example: In the 1800s, young readers became skeptical of Appalachian people after reading about disturbing customs, cultural beliefs, and social behaviors that religious cults created by capitalizing on uneducated and culturally backward mentalities. .

My literature review's topic : Can a person choose euthanasia? LITERATURE REVIEW PROFESSOR STREICHLER Learning Objectives : (1) to familiarize students with the wealth of online research resources, especially at UW libraries; (2) to develop skills in online research; (3) to develop skills in synthesizing the content of scholarly publications in a particular subject area; (4) to learn in depth about a particular issue relating to the subject matter of this course. Your Task : Each student will prepare an annotated bibliography of 7-10 sources relating to an issue you select that concerns human rights in America. Pretend that you are going to write a paper on a topic and then prepare this bibliography with all sources relating to that topic. For each entry in this list, you should cite the publication with a brief parenthetical reference summarizing the publication's central point. The literature review is due October 20 at 5:45 PM submitted via Canvas. Late literature reviews will be reduced by one letter grade and an additional letter grade for each day late thereafter. Literature reviews submitted as an attachment will NOT be accepted. Students may include this assignment in their IAS portfolio. The literature review should be on a different topic from your presentation and your movie review. Additional Guidelines : You may conduct your research as a general Google search in part, but you should take advantage of exploring the online resources of the UW library system. You definitely do not need to read through entirely all of the articles, essays, books, or other publications that you are citing. What you want to do is capture the essence of the argument or point of the publication you are citing and put together the list of sources from there. Be aware that this is one version of a literature review or annotated bibliography. For this class, we are only requiring you to compile a short summary of a few sources. A literature review could consist of an entire chapter weaving sources into text. Example of One Entry in an Annotated Bibliography : Streichler, Stuart. “What Would Warren Do? A Brief Historical Comment on Brown and Parents Involved .” 76 Tenn. L. Rev. 159 (2008) (argues that the Supreme Court's plurality opinion in Parents Involved distorted the central meaning of Brown by stripping the principles stated in that landmark opinion from the historical and cultural context in which they were made). .

Writing Assignment: Annotated Bibliography (AB) Due Dates (by 11:59PM): Rubin AB entry: 1/30 AB Draft (3 entries): 2/25 OPTIONAL: AB Final Draft (5 entries): 3/ 10 AB Revised Draft: 3/17 Mechanics: 6 page minimum (including 5 AB entries and a Literature Review with CRQ), double-spaced, 12 point, 1” margins, MLA (or other) format Explanation Annotated Bibliography is a genre of writing in academia that works to show your awareness of what others have written about a topic. The work done in an AB, including introducing the authors with brief intellectual biographies; explicating the main claims and concepts; tracing the argument and its evidence; evaluating the source; and discussing its stakes and implications gives some context to the course reading you choose to research and situates the course reading into a research topic by indicating the intellectual conversations you are entering. The point of this assignment is to practice research skills but also to dig a little deeper into 4 of our readings using research. For this assignment:Writing Task 1. Compile an Annotated Bibliographyof five scholarly sources, including one entry for Gayle Rubin’s “Thinking Sex” and 4 more scholarly sources based on researching sources that are connected to one (the deep dive) or more of our course readings. See the next page for the specific AB entry format. · Sources · “Scholarly” means peer-reviewed articles from academic journals or chapters in books written by experts in a field and not wikis, encyclopedias, newspapers, popular magazines/media, blogs, websites, etc. (see the Library Guide on what constitutes a scholarly source). · “Connected” means that each of your researched, scholarly sources must be connection to a course reading in some way. You can either find a source that engages or discusses the particular critical essay or cultural text from the course calendar or you can do research on a topic or theme that is brought up in or similar to the course reading. Whatever you decide, you’ll explain the connection in your quote analysis. · “Deep Dive” means you may also include more than one researched source per course text. You can, for instance, research two sources on a critical essay and two on a cultural text or even include 4 sources that are all about one essay or text to give some in-depth engagement with one course reading. Alternatively, you may also include 4 sources on 4 different course texts. · Focus · If you’d like, you canfocus your research within a broad topic, on a field of knowledge, or on a really specific object of analysis within that topic. For example, you can produce an AB based on a specific topic (like racialized hypersexuality, the sex/gender/desire matrix, or a particular sexual stereotype) or a specific discipline (for instance, focus on the sociology of sex) or an interdisciplinary one that pursues a critical research question through multiple fields of knowledge (for instance, focused on how sociology, cult.

English 102: Literary Research Paper I. DEFINING THE RESEARCH PAPER A literary research paper--unlike a research paper on abortion or euthanasia--focuses on critically analyzing/interpreting the meaning of literature. What's more, the term "research" implies that you will be incorporating research from reputable secondary sources into your paper. In short, you will be analyzing/interpreting a piece (or several pieces) of literature and supporting your analysis with "research." The research paper must be at least eight (8) pages in length, and it must adhere to MLA standards and guidelines. Further, you must include a minimum of seven (7) sources in your paper, six (6) of which must be considered "secondary sources" (explained below), and it must include a "Works Cited" page. II. GETTING STARTED Your first step in writing the research paper is to decide which author (or authors) you would like to write about. You are required to make your selection(s) from the authors we have discussed this semester, although you are more than welcome to find texts from your chosen author(s) that were not included on the syllabus. After you have decided which author (or authors) you are interested in writing about, you need to decide which texts to include in your discussion; this may change as the paper progresses, but you should begin with a clear idea of which texts you would like to include in your analysis. The next and most obvious step in the process is to read and then reread--several times--the text or texts you have chosen. In order to say something meaningful about a text, you need to know it backward and forward. As one critic relates, you need to "have a sure sense of what the work itself is like, how its parts function, what ideas it expresses, how it creates particular effects, and what your responses are." In short, read, reread, and then when you think you are done, read some more. After you are comfortable with your knowledge of the text (or texts), the next step is to develop an angle of analysis. In other words, you need to decide how you want to approach and organize your paper. There are several different ways to organize a literary research paper, but more likely than not you will want to adopt one of the following organizing principles: A. Literary Elements: A research paper that is organized around literary elements generally includes a focused discussion on one or more of the following: setting, speaker, symbolism, irony, imagery, tone, language, etc. B. Themes: A research paper that is organized around a theme, such as death, life, love, race, gender, class, cultural identity, etc., generally includes a focused discussion on the role a particular theme plays in several pieces of literature. C. Critical Approaches: Whether you knew it or not, you adopted a specific approach to analyzing literature in both of the essays you wrote for class, namely a "formalist" approach to int.

Literature Reviews What this handout is about This handout will explain what literature reviews are and offer insights into the form and construction of literature reviews in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. Introduction OK. You’ve got to write a literature review. You dust off a novel and a book of poetry, settle down in your chair, and get ready to issue a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” as you leaf through the pages. “Literature review” done. Right? Wrong! The “literature” of a literature review refers to any collection of materials on a topic, not necessarily the great literary texts of the world. “Literature” could be anything from a set of government pamphlets on British colonial methods in Africa to scholarly articles on the treatment of a torn ACL. And a review does not necessarily mean that your reader wants you to give your personal opinion on whether or not you liked these sources. What is a literature review, then? A literature review discusses published information in a particular subject area, and sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time period. A literature review can be just a simple summary of the sources, but it usually has an organizational pattern and combines both summary and synthesis. A summary is a recap of the important information of the source, but a synthesis is a re-organization, or a reshuffling, of that information. It might give a new interpretation of old material or combine new with old interpretations. Or it might trace the intellectual progression of the field, including major debates. And depending on the situation, the literature review may evaluate the sources and advise the reader on the most pertinent or relevant. But how is a literature review different from an academic research paper? The main focus of an academic research paper is to develop a new argument, and a research paper will contain a literature review as one of its parts. In a research paper, you use the literature as a foundation and as support for a new insight that you contribute. The focus of a literature review, however, is to summarize and synthesize the arguments and ideas of others without adding new contributions. Why do we write literature reviews? Literature reviews provide you with a handy guide to a particular topic. If you have limited time to conduct research, literature reviews can give you an overview or act as a stepping stone. For professionals, they are useful reports that keep them up to date with what is current in the field. For scholars, the depth and breadth of the literature review emphasizes the credibility of the writer in his or her field. Literature reviews also provide a solid background for a research paper’s investigation. Comprehensive knowledge of the literature of the field is essential to most research papers. Who writes these things, anyway? Literature reviews are written occasionally in the humanities, but mostly in the sciences and social scienc.

Proposal Essay This assignment has three interrelated goals: 1. To help you develop the necessary skills to create a class A proposal, considering context, research questions, sources, timeline, and larger implications. 1. To give you practice working with the Research Proposal as an academic genre. 1. To provide an opportunity for working on stylistics and effective academic discourse. FORMAT: Your essay should be at least FIVE FULL PAGES and in MLA FORMAT. Please include page numbers, a heading, in-text citations and a properly labeled and formatted works cited. You may use images in your draft if you wish – just please use them rhetorically, not decoratively. In addition, be sure to cite any credible sources (textual or image-based) that you include in your draft and to include a bibliography/works cited at the end that includes a minimum of five sources. These sources must come from the Dallas College database or Dallas College library. If not, there should be a reason why. PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS AND STRUCTURE Your proposal should have a well thought out title and contain effective visual rhetoric as appropriate. It should be a traditional, linear Word document in MLA format. Make sure you are hitting the following parts within your essay (do not include subheadings. They are not needed): Introduction. This introduction should be designed to interest your reader in your topic and proposal and provide some historical/cultural context for your project. At the end of your introduction, include a tentative thesis to indicate to your reader that you are entering your project looking at your topic through a critical, analytic lens -- this thesis can state your intentions, but it SHOULD NOT BE IN FIRST PERSON. A good formula for an introduction is context + problem/complication + proposed argument or research question. Each stage in this formula should be a few sentences long. Body In your body paragraphs, make sure that you are addressing the problem and its solution. MORE SOLUTION THAN PROBLEM should be in this essay. What are you proposing? What are you offering to the world? Conclusion. In your conclusion, address the "So What?" of this research. That is, why does what you are investigating matter as more than an academic exercise? Why should your audience want to read it? Why does it matter? Works cited When you cite sources, you'll also need to have a works cited at the end of the proposal, with the citations in MLA format. Any parenthetical citations in the text itself should also follow MLA guidelines. You can find more help on in-text citations and works cited format through the Dallas College website or Purdue OWL. EVALUATION CRITERIA At a minimum, there needs to be some content for each of the sections listed above. Students who submit drafts that represent very little effort and are pronouncedly incomplete will receive a ½ grade (i.e., A- to .

Assessment 3: Group written assignment: Predicting the future of work Due Date T ues 7 th of April Length 6000 words The purpose of this assessment is to evaluate skills in research, the application of ideas from the literature, problem solving and critical analysis. Your assignment will outline your team’s vision of identifying future trends in work in 2040. You will need to incorporate key theory and identify factors that can affect changes in work trends and affects on individuals, organisations and society. Focus on one of the four key themes in your report (Globalisation, Gender and diversity, Technology and Management innovation – labour use) to guide your discussion of the literature and recommendations. This task is designed to develop research, communication, and team project management skills. In addition, you report should demonstrate evidence of critical thinking, analysis and problem solving in the way your team discusses and reports on the future of work. In developing your recommendations, the written report must utilise scenario planning, reflect on key readings and recommended readings relevant to your chosen theme and demonstrate understanding of relevant theories such as commodification, labour process, division of labour, Informalisation and formalisation and issues of relevance in applying these to a HRM or Management context. Changing Context of Work Themes (note The chosen theme is GENDER AND DIVERSITY) Globalisation : How do the shifts in global production and consumption impact on workers, and does this vary for workers in developed and developing countries? What changes have occurred in the labour process and what impact does this have on the types of work available? Has commodification of work, life, leisure changed how we work, and are these shifts uniform or vary in different industries and locations? Are we working longer hours, doing more for less? How can we understand global trends to inform what could happen locally? Is informalisation the new work order? Does neoliberal globalisation determine a race to the bottom for workers conditions? Gender and diversity : Is the future female? Will women transcend the glass ceiling, take control of boards, and run companies of the future more successfully? Do workplaces value diversity, such as, gender, race and ethnicity and abilities in the workplace? Is work life balance a myth? Will gender divisions of labour diminish while women remain responsible for child rearing? To what extent does society value difference and is the workplace just a reflection of this? Will affirmative action for disadvantaged groups still be an option? Technology : Can technology save us from labour intensive tasks? Will technology enable work to be performed in different ways, in a variety of contexts and what will this mean for workers, organisations and society?

"Assessing Readiness for Change" Please respond to the following: Based on the results of the Readiness for Change Assessment, summarize how ready your current or past organization is for a change management program. (I use to work at a Correctional Institution) Using the organization you identified in Part 1 of the discussion, describe at least two structural dilemmas that the company may face when attempting to facilitate organizational change and provide a solution for overcoming each one of these challenges TABLE 5.13 Readiness for Change Source: Stewart, 1994:106–10. Copyright © 1994 Time, Inc. All rights reserved. The left-hand column lists 17 key elements of change readiness. Rate your organization on each item. Give three points for a high ranking (“We’re good at this; I’m confident of our skills here.”); two for a medium score (“We’re spotty here; we could use improvement or more experience.”); and one point for a low score (“We’ve had problems with this; this is new to our organization.”). Be honest. Don’t trust only your own perspective; ask others in the organization, at all levels. Readiness Scoring How to score: High = 3 Medium = 2 Low = 1 Category Score Sponsorship. The sponsor of change is not necessarily its day-to-day leader; he or she is the visionary, chief cheerleader, and bill payer—the person with the power to help the team change when it meets resistance. Give three points—change will be easier—if sponsorship comes at a senior level; for example, CEO, COO, or the head of an autonomous business unit. Weakest sponsors: midlevel executives or staff officers. Leadership. This means the day-to-day leadership—the people who call the meetings, set the goals, work until midnight. Successful change is more likely if leadership is high level, has “ownership” (that is, direct responsibility for what’s to be changed), and has clear business results in mind. Low-level leadership, or leadership that is not well-connected throughout the organization (across departments) or that comes from the staff, is less likely to succeed and should be scored low. Motivation. High points for a strong sense of urgency from senior management, which is shared by the rest of the company, and for a corporate culture that already emphasizes continuous improvement. Negative: tradition-bound managers and workers, many of whom have been in their jobs for more than 15 years; a conservative culture that discourages risk taking. Direction. Does senior management strongly believe that the future should look different from the present? How clear is management’s picture of the future? Can management mobilize all relevant parties—employees, the board, customers, etc.—for action? High points for positive answers to those questions. If senior management thinks only minor change is needed, the likely outcome is no change at all; score yourself low. Measurements. Or in consultant-speak, “metrics.” Three points if you already use performance measures of t.

In this lab, you will see the time progression of impacts associated with either coal-fired or nuclear power plants for electricity generation to help you write up a scientific paper that centers on the following: Given that the current 2 primary sources of electricity generation are coal and nuclear power plants, which of these sources is better for human sustainability? Analyze Energy Sources Lab Everything people do in their daily lives involves the consumption of resources—particularly energy. With respect to energy, electricity is one of the most important resources consumed and also one of the highest in demand. Traditionally, fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil have dominated the U.S. energy mix; however, as it is well-known, carbon-emitting energy sources are very detrimental to the environment and are contributing to global warming. Fortunately, alternative energy resources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power are becoming more efficient and prevalent in today’s energy economy.

Asking the Right Questions: A Comprehensive Example Teenagers face extremely complicated social and emotional issues. The issues are inescapable, but most teens are not prepared to rationally handle them. Because they are ill prepared, the need for effective and honest communication between teens and their parents is more vital than ever. Parent's wisdom, accumulated by their experience and study, can guide their children to the best decision. This pressing need for communication is being undermined however, by the extension of individual rights to minors. A troubling example of minor's rights taken much too far is the federal law that permits minors to obtain an abortion without parental consent. The reasoning behind such a law is that a girl will be less likely to get the abortion she wants if she must disclose her intentions to her parents. What these supporters fail to consider is that just because a minor wants to get an abortion does not mean she should get one. Think about it. Would you want your daughter to make an impulsive decision about such an important matter? This law needs to be changed before more teenagers' lives are destroyed. Compare the situation with that of a young child who is terribly distraught over a particular bully's constant taunting. The child may want to retort with nasty remarks or a physical fight. Only after consulting with a parent will the child realize that a confrontation yields more aggravation and possible physical harm. Similarly, a girl who discovers she is pregnant will be overcome with emotions — regret, confusion, guilt, disappointment, and fear. With these emotions weighing upon her, she is likely to act unthinkingly. She needs the mature and rationale guidance a parent can provide to avoid making an impulsive decision. Supporters also argue that involuntary parental consent will only damage the parent/child relationship by escalating conflict and stress. Just the opposite is the case, however. Parental consent requirements prevent disastrous scenes that will inevitably occur if parents discover their daughter has had an abortion without their consent. Of course, some tensions may arise when the daughter reveals her pregnancy, but this initial tension is a small price to pay for an open and honest relationship. Statutes that allow abortions to be administered without parental consent prevent girls from seeking the advice of the people who care so much for them. These anti-parental-consent laws developed out of a legitimate concern for a minor's rights, but what about the rights of the parents? Law requires parental consent when a minor is to undergo any medical procedure. A minor can be refused medical attention until one parent consents, except in emergency situations. This law even applies to a minor's wish to get their ears pierced! In such cases, the law recognizes the parents' right to know the state of their child's well being. It is a denial of this right, therefore, to permit minors to und.

Asian Americans had been excluded from entering the U.S. for more than half a century through the litany of anti-Asian immigration legislation passed in the years (1882, 1917, 1924, 1934) leading up to WWII. How did the 1965 Immigration Act (Hart-Cellar Act) change this situation? Why have so many well-educated Asians immigrated into the U.S. after the passage of this act? To what extent will Asian immigrants continue to enter the U.S. in the 21 st century? Drawing upon evidence presented in the course reading (Fong's chapter), make a case that Asian immigrants will continue to come in a steady pace to the U.S., or slow down significantly, or halt altogether. Essay should be 3 to 4pages. .

Ashford 6: - Week 5 - Final Paper Civil Liberties, Habeas Corpus, and the War on Terror The final assignment for this course is a Final Paper. The purpose of the Final Paper is to give you an opportunity to apply much of what you have learned about American national government to an examination of civil liberties in the context of the war on terror. The Final Paper represents 20% of the overall course grade. Soon after the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the Bush administration developed a plan for holding and interrogating captured prisoners. They were sent to a prison inside a U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, on land leased from the government of Cuba. Since 2002, over 700 men have been detained at Gitmo. Most have been released without charges or turned over to other governments. In 2011, Congress specifically prohibited the expenditure of funds to transfer Gitmo prisoners to detention facilities in the continental United States, making it virtually impossible to try them in civilian courts. As of April 2012, 169 remained in detention at Gitmo (Sutton, 2012). An assumption made by the Bush administration in selecting this location was that it was beyond the jurisdiction of U.S. courts. The administration wanted to avoid any judicial oversight of how it handled detainees, characterized as enemy combatants. A possible legal challenge to indefinite detention with no formal charges or judicial proceedings might arise from the habeas corpus provision of the Constitution. Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution states, "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." Under this provision, persons detained by the government are entitled to a judicial hearing to determine if there is any legal basis for their detention. Some legal commentators refer to the right of habeas corpus as the "great writ of liberty" because it is a prisoner's ultimate recourse to an impartial judge who can review the possibility that he is being held illegally by the executive (e.g., the police or the military). In nations that do not honor habeas corpus, people simply disappear into prisons without ever having their day in court. Several controversial Supreme Court cases have come out of Gitmo. One fundamental question that has been debated, but not clearly resolved, is to what extent the war on terror justifies the President's indefinite detention of enemy combatants without the possibility of the minimal judicial review protected by habeas corpus? Another issue in the debate is to what extent Congress must clearly authorize the President to conduct extra-judicial detentions in order for them to be legal? In 2008, the Supreme Court’s decision in Boumediene v. Bush offered some answers to these questions. However, the deeply divided 5-4 Court and the likelihood of the protracted nature of the war on terror suggest that debate around these important quest.
