Differences between the nation-states that emerged in the aftermath of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of the nation-state

M4.1 Discussion: The Middle EastMany of the tensions in the Middle East today have their origins in the post-World War I settlements that created the states of Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon from the remnants of the Ottoman Empire.Negotiations took place primarily between the British and the French as imperial and economic interests (i.e. oil) took precedence over the ideas of self-determination of the native populations. The squabbling over the boundaries and leadership of these new successor states resulted in the creation of artificial states that had insufficient regard for ethnic and/or historic realities.For this discussion, please create posts about the following:British dealings in the Middle East, as seen in the primary source documents belowDifferences between the nation-states that emerged in the aftermath of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of the nation-state we considered in module 1.Long-term effects of the post-World War I settlements in the Middle East.These sources can assist you with answering the questions above:Sir Henry McMahon, Letter to Ali ibn Husain, 1915The Balfour Declaration, 1917Anglo-French Negotiations over the Boundaries of Palestine, 1919-1920Boundless World History, Partition of the Ottoman EmpireBoundless World History, Israel and PalestineThe Balfour Declaration’s Impact, 100 years On (video; 8:03)

Are drug addicts morel likely to break free from their addiction and stay out of the cycle?

Prompt:A few weeks ago, you watched a video called “No More Drama” by Mary J. Blige. In that video, you were introduced to three people who were Joyce, Paul, and Pelon.At that time, you were asked to compare and contrast at least two of these people to each other.For the ARE you are to compare and contrast at least two of these people again. However, this time, you will also have to determine who will be most likely to remain free from their vicious cycles.Are abused women more likely to break free from their abusers and stay out of the cycle?Are drug addicts morel likely to break free from their addiction and stay out of the cycle?Are gang members more likely to break free from their gangs and stay out of the cycle?Does gender play a role? Does socioeconomic status play a role? Does race play a role?I would recommend that since this is an ARE, and you have to bring in the opposing side or viewpoints that you decide who is your first choice to break and stay out of his/her cycle. Then decide on a second person who you think would be able to break the cycle.This way, your first-choice person becomes your PRO, and the second-choice person becomes your CON.Again, remember that since this an argumentation essay, you bring on the opposing side and refute it. If you do not, your ethos or credibility as the authors will be hurt. Are you trying to hide anything by not bringing in the other side’s viewpoints?There are different ways to bring in opposing views. Review the argumentation format sheet again. For example, you may oppose and refute at the beginning of the essay, throughout the essay, or you may devote only one paragraph to the opposing and refuting.Follow the MLA format for heading and title. No running header is required.

Write a 3-4 page essay in which you explain how you would use the scientific method and steps of the sociological research process to study two issues.IntroductionIf you have ever tried to complete a jigsaw puzzle, you probably know that one of the most common techniques is to assemble all the edge pieces first. Framing the picture in this way helps you develop a strategy for finding the pieces you need to complete the puzzle. Similarly, when you’re trying to solve a problem in society or your personal or professional life, you first need to frame the problem, then develop a strategy, and finally gather the pieces of evidence you need to find a solution.One way sociologists do this is by using the scientific method, a step-by-step process for collecting evidence to test a hypothesis (or explanation) about the way the world works. Sociologists use this step-by-step approach to explore observations and answer questions about society, such as which social factors influence the choice of romantic partners or to what extent gender affects economic mobility. For this assessment, you will review two scenarios and explain how you would use the scientific method and steps of the sociological research process to study two issues.PreparationReview the suggested resources for this assessment. Note that Chapter 3 of the Sociology: The Essentials textbook provides useful background information, including details about the scientific method and the steps involved in sociological research.Read the scenarios below:Scenario 1: Jessica is a sociologist who studies culture in the workplace at Company Y. She is designing a research study to get a better understanding of differences in productivity between mixed-gender teams and teams whose members are of the same gender.Scenario 2: There is growing concern over the issue of bullying in the local school district. Julius, who works in the school administration office, has been asked to design a research study to identify if the strict school policies (that some students and parents view as unfair) may be contributing to the increase of bullying.InstructionsFor each scenario, address the following questions in essay form. Organize your paper with a heading for Scenario 1 and a heading for Scenario 2.Develop a research question for each research scenario.For each scenario, provide a clear research question that captures what the researchers (Jessica and Julius) are studying.Explain how each researcher should use the remaining steps of the sociological research process to answer the research question.For each step of the sociological research process, explain what the researcher should do to achieve the goal of that particular step. For example, during the data collection process, Julius might gather information about school policies; conduct interviews with students, parents, and teachers; and review data on school incidents reported to teachers or principals.Be sure to address all four steps that follow the development of a research question: (1) research design and literature review, (2) data collection, (3) data analysis, and (4) conclusion.Explain how each researcher can use the study results to inform decision making.Discuss how both researchers can use the results of their research to make decisions. For example, how might Jessica use the findings from her research to improve organizational culture, collaboration, and productivity in her workplace? Similarly, how might Julius use the findings from his study to propose and develop effective bullying policies?Be sure to write in a well-organized and concise manner that adheres to the rules of grammar, usage, and mechanics.Additional RequirementsYour Word document submission should meet the following requirements:Written communication: Written communication should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.Citations: Include both in-text citations and a references list of your sources.
