This the question the professor gave us. It is Based on a documentary the link provided below. The title is Left behind America and is about Dayton Ohio, how from once blooming now faces economic and opiod crisis. We can are also able to use Janesville book as a comparative example. The question given on the title is the one to be answered based on that documentary. It is an introductory sociology class, so i assume he mostly want us to learn and understand how all this terms (institutions, norms, social structure, culture) all combined together in order from us to explain this video https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/left-behind-america/

Your assignment is to write a concise yet comprehensive report on the one excerpt you
choose of the two provided below. They are both excerpts from texts we have read that
contains elements that are representative of the text as a whole. Write no more than one
page (12 point font, double spaced) and be sure to write in complete sentences and pay
careful attention to paragraph structure (you may find that you need more than one
paragraph). You are not required to do any research for this assignment. Your response
should draw on the lecture material and your tutorial discussions.
Your response should address (in this order):
1) context: briefly situate the gobbet in the work as a whole by noting what immediately
precedes and follows it (you are not required to provide page numbers). You should
identify any speaker(s) in the gobbet and briefly contextualize what they are talking
about, or what the narrator is speaking about;
2) meaning: what are the main ideas relating to the character(s) and theme(s)? Are there
key words, symbolic language, imagery?
3) significance: discuss how this particular gobbet speaks to our understanding of the
work as a whole. In this section, it is often useful to refer to the identifying features of the
passage (i.e.: the context) and to expand upon them. For example, does the gobbet
contain important characters whose development is crucial to the development of the
plot? Does it contain a discussion of an important moment in the plot? Does it somehow
exemplify a key theme? Are there important features of epic poetry in the gobbet? If so,
what is the purpose of those features?
30% of your mark will be for the content: have you correctly identified the passage and
the important elements of it? Have you identified how the passage relates to or is
representative of the work as a whole?
70% of your mark will be for style: is your work easily comprehensible? Do you express
yourself clearly? Do you write in complete sentences, and are your paragraphs properly
constructed? Is there a fluidity and ease in the structure of your writing, so that the reader
clearly understands the point you are making and is unimpeded by stilted wording or poor
grammar? Always aim for clarity of expression over flowery language or grammar. Be
sure to proof read your assignment before submitting it.

Choose one of the following gobbets:
1) “I don’t remember my father Tydeus very well, since I was still only a small child
when he left for Thebes in the war that killed so many noble Greeks. Nevertheless, that
makes me your friend, and it makes you my guest if ever and whenever you come to
Argos, just as you’ll be my friend and I’ll be your guest if ever and whenever I come to
Lycia.
“That’s the reason that we shouldn’t cross spears with one another here in the thick of
battle. No, there are enough people for me to kill out here, both Trojan and their allies
alike, whomever the gods will give me or I’ll hunt down myself. And there are enough
Greeks for you to kill aside from me.
“And so let’s exchange armor, so that everyone will see and know that we’re friends
from way back in the days of our fathers.”

2) Just like snowflakes that come so thick and fast at the onset of some northerly storm
sent by Zeus himself in the cold bright sky – just so did the shining helmets, bronze
shields, massive breastplates, and ash spears pour forth from the ships of the Greeks. The
glittering of their armor lit up the sky, and the earth shone with the gleam of bronze,
while the ground resounded with the thundering sound of their marching feet.
And, in their middle, Achilles was ready for battle. His heart was filled with
unbearable pain, he ground his teeth, his eyes blazed like fire, and in his fierce anger
against Troy he wore the gifts that divine Hephaestus had worked so hard to make for
him. First he put the fine leg-guards, with their silver ankle-pieces, around his legs. Next
he put on the breastplate and set the silver-riveted bronze sword across his shoulders.
Then he took hold of the great shield that-gleamed-like-the-distant-moon.

10. Select File -> Add Evidence Navigate to the location of Mantooth.E01 and add the file to your Evidence Tree within FTK Imager.

11. First, let’s look at how to obtain the hash for a single file. Within the FTK Imager Evidence Tree, navigate to the Documents folder under the “Wes Mantooth” user Find the folder called “SnagIt Catalog” and hash the .bmp file located in the directory. You can do this by highlighting the file name, right-clicking, and selecting Export File Hash List. Save the file to your computer as test_hash_file.csv and open it to view the hash values.

12. Now, let’s look at how to view the hash files contained within a directory. Find a directory which contains multiple files, such as the “Windows\System32” directory. Repeat the same process in step 11, but save the export file as csv. Open the file to view the results.

Quality improvement in Healthcare: 5 S tools are an approach to streamlining flow and reducing waste in an organization.

5 S tools are an approach to streamlining flow and reducing waste in an organization.The 5 S’s stand for:

• Sort – Get rid of everything not used in the process
• Straighten – Organize what you keep, have a place for everything and keep everything in their place
• Scrub – Clean the area
• Standardize – Establish procedures for staying organized
• Sustain – Maintain improvements

The 5 S’s are not consistently presented in the literature.In an earlier presentation, I presented the 5 S’s as SortàStraightenàSweepàStandardizeàSelf-discipline.The exercise we are about to do uses a slightly different taxonomy: SortàSet In OrderàShineàStandardizeàSustain

Step 1:This sheet represents our current workplace. Our job during a 20 second shift, is to select the Alphabets with CAPS in correct sequence. Click Start and use your mouse to left click on capital letters only in order (A, B, C, …).(2 points)

How many letters did you correctly select? __________Briefly comment on your experience.

Click on the arrow in the upper right-hand corner of the sheet.You may have to click Reset to see.

Step 2: For “Sort”, all characters that are not needed have been removed. Same rules apply, select the Alphabets with CAPS in correct sequence. Click Start and use your mouse to left click on capital letters only in order (A, B, C, …).(2 points)

How many letters did you correctly select? __________Briefly comment on your experience.

Click on the arrow in the upper right-hand corner of the sheet.You may have to click Reset to see.

Step 3:For “Set in Order” (Straighten), a “racking system” has been installed. The Alphabets ABC are organized in a grid starting with A in the bottom left hand corner, the characters are located from left to right and bottom to top.Note – Because this scenario presumes that this has resulted in a tidy workspace; the third S, “Shine”, is skipped. (2 points)

Same rules apply, select the Alphabets with CAPS in correct sequence. Click Start and use your mouse to left click on capital letters only in order (A, B, C, …).

How many letters did you correctly select? __________Briefly comment on your experience.

Click on the arrow in the upper right-hand corner of the sheet. You may have to click Reset to see.

Step 4:For “Standardize”, the Alphabets ABC are arranged in sequence.Same rules apply, select the Alphabets with CAPS in correct sequence. Click Start and use your mouse to left click on capital letters only in order (A, B, C, …).(2 points)

How many letters did you correctly select? __________Briefly comment on your experience.

Click on the arrow in the upper right-hand corner of the sheet. You may have to click Reset to see.

Additional benefits accrue from application of the 5 S’s.You are asked to perform a different task of finding two missing letters under two different scenarios.Scenario 1 begins with the original cluttered workplace.Scenario 2 presents the workplace after standardization.

Scenario 1:Click Start.You do not need to click on the letters.Simply try to identify the two missing letters.(1 point)

Which letters are missing? _______ _______Briefly comment on your experience.
