Describe a “real life” instance of your selected social issue in a professional or a personal setting.

Overview For this final project you will continue with the social issue that you selected (language and power; freedom and security; health and wealth) and you will write an essay where you discuss your perspective. You will use the ideas and information from the summary-response and the quote log to write your case study. You will submit a first draft and a revised draft of this assignment. Content Describe a “real life” instance of your selected social issue in a professional or a personal setting. Discuss your perspective on your selected social issue, including the reasons for your viewpoint. Discuss how your core values inform or influence your perspective on your selected social issue. Demonstrate that you are really thinking about your issue—don’t settle for easy answers, don’t pretend that conflicting evidence doesn’t exist, and don’t feel that you have to take an either-or position. Discuss the complexities of your selected social issue. For example, do not just conclude that using academic language is always good, or that government surveillance is always bad, or that wealth automatically leads to health. Think about the intricacies of these issues and how they play out in everyday life. Organization Include an introductory paragraph, where you clearly outline a “real-life” instance of your social issue and you give a thesis statement that indicates your perspective

Understanding the Impact of Culture on Student Behavior

What will you do? Work with a partner to choose one of the following school settings. Select a partner who is in a school setting different than your own: A rural school with a homogenous culture An urban school in an economically challenged student population an international school with multi-racial, multi-lingual, heterogenous student population A high income school with a homogenous culture Compare your own school with the different school setting you select from the perspective of how student behavior is linked with the overall culture of the school and the surrounding community. Choose a sample behavior plan from PBISWorld.com, linked in the Activity Resources and modify it to match the needs of the selected school setting. You may want to create one general plan, or several separate plans. Highlight what changes you made in a summary at the end of the document with reasons for those changes. Create a schedule for professional development of the faculty and staff on culturally appropriate behavior and behavior management. Identify how many workshops or events you will organize throughout the school year to ensure that faculty understand the impact of culture when dealing with students and parents. Include ways in which faculty can discuss challenges they face with specific students or parents. Report requirements Apply a school behavior plan to a school setting Schedule for professional development and regular meetings to discuss specific students or parents

Domestic violence

Where did all energy go?

The complete combustion of glucose results in DGo= -2870 kJ/mol, answer the following questions. Show your work in the response. Based on the amount of ATP molecules produced, how much Gibbs free energy is stored in these molecules under standard conditions? Based on the results in part 1, what is the efficiency of the energy conversion of glucose to carbon dioxide and water? The free energy from the hydrolysis of ATP under standard conditions, is DG0 = -30.5 kJ/mol. Assume the temperature in a particular cell is 320 K, the concentration of ATP is 0.35 mg/mL, the concentration of ADP is 0.035 mg/mL, and the concentration of phosphate is 0.02 mg/mL. What is the DG for ATP hydrolysis under these conditions? Based on the results in part 3, what is the efficiency of the energy conversion of glucose to carbon dioxide and water? How can the less than 100 % energy conversion in part 4 be explained?

What does the work communicate/represent?

Now that you are a pro at recognizing the elements and principles of art in a composition, you’ll be looking at works of art in virtual galleries. Thankfully, a lot of museums are making some of their galleries available online. Download a copy of the Virtual Gallery Links file on the “Course Materials” tab. You are required to visit any one of the galleries in that list and choose a work of art that matches the theme of “Art and Science ”When writing the paper answer the following questions: How does the work fit the theme of “Art and Science ”What is my first response to the work? When, where, and why was the work made? By whom and for whom? What is the cultural context? What is the title? Does it help to inform the work? How do the physical properties and the form of the work contribute to the viewers’ understanding of the work? What does the work communicate/represent

Joan Petersilia presents Sentencing, Risk Assessment, and Re-Offending. Stanford, March, 2013 (Links to an external site.)Joan Petersilia presents Sentencing, Risk Assessment, and Re-Offending. Stanford, March, 2013

Questions:

1. What does Dr. Joan Petersiliar say about the “peril” of risk assessment? In other words, what is the “peril” of risk assessment in the Dr. Petersiliar’s opinion.

2. What are the benefit’s of using actuarial risk assessments according to Dr. Petersiliar?

3. Why did California better fund risk assessment tools over (instead of) treatment programs?

4. How have computers helped in the use of risk assessments?

6. What does she mean by Time and Context sensitive factors with risk assessment tools….give a specific example for each – “time” and “context” sensitive issue.

7. What is the bias in using past arrest as a predictive indicator of recidivism? What is Dr. Petersiliar’s concern here?

Chemistry assignment

The idea that prolonged exposure to direct sunlight is harmful represents one of the main reasons why the use of sunblock/sunscreen has been widely promoted. In particular, ultraviolet (UV) rays are known to cause damage to the skin upon direct contact which can lead to various adverse effects such as: premature aging, sunspots, wrinkles, formation of benign and malignant melanomas, cancer, and possibly death. However, it is also known that direct sunlight (and more importantly, its contact with skin that has not been treated with any sunblock/sunscreen) is required for the synthesis of Vitamin D within the human body; which means that to some extent, there is an essential need to actually be exposed to direct sunlight each day.

As this issue continues to be debated more and more, the question that mostly remains is whether or not UV rays from the sunlight are ultimately more beneficial or harmful to human beings throughout their lifespan.

To address this issue, you will be required to do the following:

1. Introduce, present, and discuss both perspectives critically based on valid research that exists. Choose a position on where you stand on this particular issue and provide supporting evidence of your claim by citing academic sources.

2. Incorporate at least 1-2 graphical illustrations that highlight quantitative metrics (i.e. time, wavelengths, energy, frequency) associated with the dangers of UV rays making contact with human skin and at least 1-2 graphical illustrations that correlate with how UV rays are associated with synthesizing Vitamin D in the skin. You MUST also discuss your graphs thoughtfully in terms of the variables assessed/presented, and also provide at least 2 math equations and 2 calculations based on the scientific data presented on this issue. (Note: The equations and calculations can either be based on the graphs you include or used to address, introduce, or prove a particular point.)

3. Image – Select or draw an image that is properly referenced in your paper to show that you are able to relate your image to your content. The selected image must help the reader understand the topic better.

4. Graph – You may plot a graph from a data table from your cited source or use a graph already drawn to show that you are able to interpret the data table or graph. From the graph, what generalization can be made?

5. Mathematical Equations/ Calculations- Use relevant mathematical formulas used in chemistry to calculate an unknown quantity in your paper such as molarity, charge, energy, calories, frequency, mass, slope, y-intercept etc. In doing so you will demonstrate an ability to reason quantitatively. Be sure to thoroughly discuss both sides of the issue and present your position. Presenting both sides of the issue before you state your position demonstrates that you have critically analyzed the data and made a well-informed decision.

6.Write your paper third person even as you write your position.
