Mid Term Election

erI need a research paper about the Mid term Election for any local (Corpus Christi “Nueces County”) or state of (Texas) Race. Which candidate would you vote for. The pro and cons on the candidate. Paper has to be Double spaced 3 to 4 pages. Font at 12 no larger, Proper Citation of sources within the text, Bibliography Sheet (work cited), Attached website or source used, Cover page, MLA Format (if using APA or any other citation style, put a sticky note on the front page).

Describe what it was like to be a slave in the United States as told through the experiences of Frederick Douglass

Font 12. One inch margins. In addition, paper should include a cover page and bibliography. Cite quotes and facts as needed. Limit citations and none should be longer than one sentence. Paper should describe what it was like to be a slave in the United States as told through the experiences of Frederick Douglass. Be as thorough as possible addressing all aspects and environments of American slaves; what was it like to be a slave? How did slavery impact slave owners? Focus should be on slavery in general not Douglass (don’t ignore Douglass, just focus on slavery). One approach would be to read the book and write your paper as if you were explaining slavery to a friend who knows nothing about slavery. Personal analysis is expected, not a summary of book. You should read the preface but the autobiography begins on page 1 with, ” I WAS born in Tuckahoe, near Hillsborough,…”

five easy questions

Provide well-developed and thoughtful answers by utilizing your analytic, interpretive, and critical thinking skills. Connect your answers to the broader social structure, ideologies, power relationships, sociological terms/concepts/theories, and to broader society overall. When appropriate please add an example and/or quote from the textbook to explain your answer.

Textbook link: http://open.lib.umn.edu/socialproblems/ ( chapter 12)

1 There is a much greater difference under capitalism between the rich and poor than under socialism (Section 12.1). ( point out it is true or false)

2 Explain the overall approach of functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism to understanding work and the economy (Section 12.2).

3 Select one problem associated with increasing economic inequality and provide an example of how this impacts our earnings on the open job market (Section 12.3).

4 After the Civil War, corporations quickly replaced individuals and their families as the owners of the means of production and as the competitors for profit. Corporations bought up competitors and drove others out of business by engaging in bribery, kickbacks, and complex financial schemes of dubious ethics. Eventually the federal government was forced to pass the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 (Section 12.3). ( point out it is true or false )

5 Select one type of social reform for improving work/economy and provide a detailed contemporary example (Section 12.4).

Research Paper

In 1,000 words, compare the ethics of Immanuel Kant and one Existentialist philosopher; reflect on their contrasting views of moral absolutes, freedom, and how someone can know the right thing to do.

To make things easier on you, try organizing your paper into five paragraphs, each with one purpose: an introduction paragraph (written last so that you can introduce and summarize what you say in the paper), one paragraph summarizing each thinker’s philosophy, one paragraph comparing/contrasting the two thinkers, and a conclusion reflecting on this from your perspective (ask: What do I believe? How do I respond?).

Option A: The brain goes through many changes as we age. Select and examine a developmental phase (infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age) and describe the status of the brain at the selected phase. How may this shape behavior?

Option B: Sleep patterns change as we age. Select and examine a developmental phase (infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age) and provide a description of the sleep patterns at the selected phase. How does your selected phase compare to those of other developmental phases?

Your initial post must be at least 300 words and use a minimum of one scholarly source located in the Ashford University Library or on Google Scholar that is cited and referenced according to APA style, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Assignment: Relationship Between Qualitative Analysis and Evidence-Based Practice

Evidence-based practice is integral to social work, as it often informs best practices. Competent social workers understand this connection in general and the ways it benefits clients in particular. For this Assignment, consider your informed opinion on the relationship between qualitative analysis and evidence-based practice.

By Day 7

Submit a 2-page paper that addresses the following:

  • Choose two qualitative research studies from this week’s resources and analyze the relationship between qualitative analysis and evidence-based practice.
  • Consider how the qualitative study contributes to social work practice and how this type of knowledge would fit into building evidence-based practice.

HD 105 Goals Workbook

There is also an 11-page goals workbook that you need to complete and turn in with the final essay. I want you to look at the Goal Setting Worksheet because it is an excellent guide for how to write a goal in general but don’t turn in. You may use it to help you complete the Goals Workbook which must be completed in its entirety and turned in. I just need you to fill out the form you don’t have to write that many pages just answer all the questions asked in that form please?

Discussion 3

Sonar Seeing

Please watch this video up to at least minute 17.10:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wby1CIhnYWI

Now close your eyes and try to navigate through several rooms using “clicks” only. Tell us how you did! Did you find that you became more sensitive to sounds when you were forced to rely on that sensory system?

  • You need to Replay to Himangshu: This video simply gives us the message that when there’s a will there’s a way. The way Ben handled this situation is really beyond imagination. Losing both of your eyes and still enjoying the life normally is beyond imagination. I really loved how Ben’s mom handled this. Even though she cried inside her room, she never expressed how sorry she felt in front of Ben. I believe the support of Ben’s family is extremely phenomenal. The most interesting part for me in the video was when they compared Ben’s clicking method to see with a submarine. This comparison made me believe that something miraculous is working with Ben. Out of nowhere, this comparison made me believe that miracle is really true. I have heard miracle stories but this one is a legit miracle. Not only viewers are in shock, even scientist are. I tried this same method as Ben by closing eyes. But I had no idea. Almost I fell asleep. Overall this video tells me that when there’s a will there’s definitely a way.
  • You need to Replay to Holler: I became more sensitive to the sounds when I was forced to rely on that sensory system. It is just like a blind person. He tends to have a better hearing system compared to a non-blind person. Blind individuals use auditory data to find sound-reflecting objects and sources. Sound origin localization gains from the sensory system’s capability to terminate disturbing sound reflections while sound-reflecting objects would gain from not ending these reflections. There is a better inter-aural level difference (ILD) for blind people compared to listeners who were seeing. The blind people also have increased capabilities of not stopping lagging clicks. It could be associated with the blind individual’s encounter of localizing mirrored sounds for which ILD could be more productive than inter-aural time differences (ITDs). Blind people can discern between nearly placed reflecting items. For sighted listeners like me, I have to undergo extensive training before I can become more sensitive to these sounds and how the system generally works. Ben in the video can use clicks to locate objects and even show approximately the height of the object (Barcroft, 2015). Nevertheless, as much as he can detect, he cannot tell what kind of object it is. Reference Barcroft TV. (2015, April 14) DOCS: The Boy Who Can See Without Eyes.

Annotated Bibliography

In your textbook (pp. 325-326), you’ll find a model of an annotated bibliography. Review the model, focusing on the components of the entry: (1) the reference citation, (2) the summary, and (3) the assessment. Then draft one reference entry and two paragraphs from one of your sources. We’ll use the rest of the week to peer review the entries to prepare you for this week’s assignment.
