Select at least two sources that express competing opinions on a specific problem

For this assignment, you must select at least two sources that express competing opinions on a specific problem. Your task is to mediate those two stances, finding a compromise between the two opinions that you can support. Since you will need to form a compromise, try to avoid topics where no middle ground can be found, or where one side is obviously right or wrong.

Your final paper will follow this organizational structure:

An introduction to the problem, with a compromise thesis
Summary of one position
Fair discussion of why that position is held
Summary of the opposing position
Fair discussion of why that position is held
Your new argument that is a compromise drawn from these two sides

Note that these can, and likely should, be combined—in other words, you don’t need to write six separate paragraphs for your paper (although you can, if you really want to).

GUIDELINES:

Research requirements: your paper must include at least two secondary sources—at least one for each side. You may consider finding more in order to establish your topic or to support your compromise, if you wish. You can use one of our assigned readings from units 1-3 for one of the sides, but I want you to find an opposing viewpoint on your own.

Word count: 800-1000 words (counting only the essay, not the works cited page).

Format paper according to MLA style.

Write formally. First-person is likely inappropriate.

Be sure to bring drafts with you on peer review days. If you are unable to participate in a peer review day, you will lose five points on your final paper grade each time.

Work must be submitted in a .doc Word document format to be accepted.

Qualitative data is helpful to generate a hypothesis and gather information

Data can be qualitative or quantitative. Qualitative data is helpful to generate a hypothesis and gather information if little is known about an expected association. Focus groups, key informant interviews, and case studies are types of qualitative data collection methods used to identify common themes from which to build a hypothesis.

Quantitative data collection and analysis is use d to test a hypothesis and make comparisons to determine the direction and strength of a potential association. The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is cross-sectional panel survey use d to collect quantitative data on adult behaviors and risk factors. It is one of the largest U.S. health data collection efforts. The data can be use to analyze associations on a state or country level. Follow the steps to obtain a 2×2 contingency table (also known as a “cross tabulation”) crossing binge drinking with depression.

Firstly, retrieve the “BRFSS Web-Enabled Analysis Tool” resource provided in the Topic Materials.

Secondly, select “Cross Tabulation.”

Thirdly, select “2015” for the year.

Fourthly, select “Arizona” for the state.

Further, select “Alcohol Consumption: Binge drinkers (males having five or more drinks on one occasion, females having four or more drinks on one occasion)” for Step 2 Select Row.

Additionally, select “Chronic Health Conditions: Ever diagnosed with a depressive disorder, including depression, major depression, dysthymia, or minor depression” for Step 3 Select Column.

Also, skip Steps 4 and 5.

Finally, select “Sample Size” for Step 6 Select Statistics and run the report for the cross tabulation.

Part 1

Using the data from the cross tabulation results, calculate the odds ratio for depression among those exposed to binge drinking. Interpret the odds ratio and discuss if the odds ratio is a good estimate of the relative risk in this situation. Why or why not? Show your 2×2 table and all calculations. Present or describe the formula you used to arrive at your answer.

Part 2
Use the Topic Material, “BRFSS Web-Enabled Analysis Tool,” located on the CDC website, and run a report for two variables of interest to you. Create a 2×2 table and calculate the odds ratio for this association. Additionally, Interpret the odds ratio and discuss the public health importance of the association. Show your 2×2 table. Present or describe the formula you used to arrive at your answer.

Refer to the “Creating a 2×2 Contingency Table” resource for guidance in creating 2×2 contingency tables.

Reflect on how creating a step-by-step and organized approach to the assignment helped you to adjust your financial priorities and financial plan.

What to submit/deliverables: Two completed templates: Assignment 2 Financial Plan Explanation Word Template and Assignment 2 Financial Plan Budget Excel Template.

What is the value of doing this assignment?

We all have financial goals—buying or renting a home, purchasing a car, paying off a loan, or saving up for a vacation. And it can be challenging to figure out exactly how to save toward these goals, given the numerous expenses of daily living. A financial plan helps you identify how you can reach your short-term and long-term goals, and leverage planning and organization strategies to make meaningful, incremental progress toward realizing these goals. This assignment gives you the opportunity to apply what you’ve learned about personal financial planning, productivity strategies, and the use of Excel to develop a personal financial plan aligned to your financial goals.

Your goal for this assignment is to: Build your productivity skill by creating a plan for reaching a specific financial goal within an identified time frame. You will use productivity strategies to break financial planning into manageable, organized steps, and you will use Excel to develop a realistic plan that is aligned to your financial goal and considers economic drivers, requirements, and resources.

Steps to complete: In Week 7, submit your assignment in BlackBoard by following these steps:

STEP 1:Review the following scenario for this assignment. Additionally, review the Assignment 2 Financial Plan Explanation Word Template and Assignment 2 Financial Plan Budget Excel Template.

Context: : Imagine that you are in a position where you need to move – this could be because of a change in job or dissatisfaction with your current living arrangement, or something else entirely. Besides needing to find different housing, you also want to begin saving for a specific financial goal.

Scenario:

Imagine that you are in a position where you need to move. This could be because of a change in job, dissatisfaction with your current living arrangement, or something else entirely. Besides needing to find different housing, you also want to begin saving for a specific financial goal.

You will use the Assignment 2 Financial Plan Budget Excel Template to create your financial plan and budget table. You will use the Assignment 2 Financial Plan Explanation Word Template to answer the questions related to your financial goals and plan.

STEP 2: Think through the productivity strategies you have learned in your coursework. Make a plan for how you will break down creating your financial plan into smaller steps to help you stay organized and be productive.

STEP 3: Identify an annual income as a starting point for your financial plan. Also, insert the value in the budget table at the top of the Excel template as needed. Use an annual income value that you feel comfortable using for this assignment. You may use one of the following:

The sample annual income of $50,000 provided in the template.

Your current annual income

The average/median income of a career field that you would like to be working in at some point in the future. Check out O*Net or CareerOneStop for more information on income for career fields you are interested in.

STEP 4: Identify a financial goal you would like to save towards. This can be a short-term (1-2 years) or long-term (3+ years) goal and determine how quickly you want to save for it (Question 2 in Template).
Select one of the following goals:

Firstly, create an emergency fund of $1000

Secondly, save up for a vacation that will cost $2000

Thirdly, save up to buy a $15,000 vehicle

Present your intervention plan as an addition to the existing program

In this milestone, you will develop and present your intervention plan as an addition to the existing program.
When looking for applicable research, review the interventions and specific practices recommended from the research that you want to incorporate into your intervention. You should discuss how these practices support the intervention. Keep in mind that this is a draft of section III of your final paper, so including a complete plan will mean that your instructor can provide more concrete suggestions for your final submission. Note that you cannot use the same research you used for your analysis (Milestone Two).

We recommend using the Shapiro Library to locate evidence-based programs and interventions.

Prompt: For this milestone, you will submit a draft of the intervention plan (section III of the final project), including all critical elements as listed below. Submit a draft plan for an intervention that will contribute to the effectiveness of the program in promoting personal and social (socioemotional) functioning for children living in diverse circumstances. How will the intervention reduce risk and increase resiliency? Now is a good time to revisit the Definitions handout (linked within the Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric document) to refresh your understanding of these concepts.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in this milestone:

III. Intervention Plan: Now that you have identified the needs of your target age group and evaluated the efficacy and utility of the program you have selected, propose a plan for an additional intervention. Your intervention should strengthen the program by promoting personal and social (socioemotional) functioning and incorporating outcome measurements and also evidence-based practices. You will research existing interventions and recommend one that best fits the age group and program.

A. Based on your research, what is an intervention that would contribute to the effectiveness of the program in promoting personal and social functioning for children living in differing circumstances? Further, how would the intervention promote personal and social functioning?

B. How would you take different cultures into consideration when applying this intervention? Provide an example.

C. What outcomes would be expected from this new intervention? Also, what is one method of measuring whether the intervention met the desired outcomes, and how would this method be applied to the intervention? How would the outcomes be measured?

D. Does this intervention constitute an evidence-based practice, or include evidence-based practices? What is the evidence that supports the practice(s)? Alternatively, how evidence-based practices could be applied to this intervention, and what would be the benefit of doing this? Furthermore, how would the practice(s) support the intervention in meeting the desired outcomes?

E. How will this intervention consider the risk and resiliency factors of the specific age group? Moreover, how would addressing these factors benefit the intervention in promoting personal and social functioning?

F. Finally, what are ways the intervention will reduce risk and increase resiliency factors? How will the intervention do this?

Mohamed Melehi
https://youtu.be/GFJ-xCZv9ng

This week we will explore additional artists from the Arab world whose art practices include ideas associated with Modernity yet in their development are also uniquely Arab?
Samia Halaby, although working and teaching in North America for many decades, continues to be represented and exhibited by galleries in Dubai’s Alserkal Avenue.
Mohamed Melehi was a founder of the Art School. Which is the focus of the exhibition ‘New Waves: Mohamed Melehi and the Casablanca Art School Archives that will open in Dubai Alserkal Avenue on September 19th. Hopefully we can view the exhibition virtually.
Both of these videos come from recent sessions of Sultan Sooud al-Qassimi’s Cultural Majlis Forum. You will remember that Sultan is also the founder of the Barjeel Foundation and also is a very dynamic person who continues to activate the arts scene in the UAE in so many ways!

Assignment

1)      Firstly, view videos of one of the contemporary artists above.
2)      Secondly, discuss how their art practice continues to include ideas that we associate with Modern Art or notions of Modernity. This can include additional research from the web.
3)      Thirdly, discuss how in the biography of both artists, their studying and working in Europe and North America contributed to the development of their ideas of Modern Art.

4)      Fourthly, can we consider the practice of these artists to be examples of ‘hybridity’. Where through their art practices they negotiate a new and unique articulation of Modernity which is specific to them. As well as any art movement they are active in? Explain how this ‘hybridity’ or unique and innovative combination creation?
5)     Lastly, create your own drawing inspired by these artists or ideas or combining aspects of Modern art with those you are exploring in your own practice.

Assignment #3

After listening to our President HE Noura Al Kaabi talk (links are above) about the arts in the UAE. Sultan Suood al Qassimi about acquiring modern Arab art for his Barjeel Foundation and Claire Davies talk about acquiring modern and contemporary art of the Arab and Asian worlds for the Metropolitan Museum in NYC:
1)      Pick one object – painting or sculpture from either the Barjeel or MET collections
2)      Draw or otherwise reproduce an image of the work
3)      Discuss the history of how the work was acquired (bought or through auction?). Also, what place it plays in narrating the history of modern and/or contemporary art in the Arab world.

Assignment #4
Look at the Presentation in BB Contents on the Hurufiyya Movement in Modern Arab Art:
1)      Select one example of an artist’s work that exemplifies the hurufiyya movement
2)      Draw the example you chose
3)      In a few sentences discuss what roles the Arabic text has in the work, both visual as well as for its literal meaning.

Analyze how Hughes uses poetic elements and techniques to convey his complex attitude toward his home, America 

/in /by

In a well-developed essay, analyze how Hughes uses poetic elements and techniques to convey his complex attitude toward his home, America.

 How Hughes uses poetic elements and techniques to convey his complex attitude toward his home America

In the following poem by Langston Hughes, the speaker, an African American, reflects on his place in the world.  Read the poem carefully. Then, in a well-developed essay, analyze how Hughes uses poetic elements and techniques to convey his complex attitude toward his home, America.

More details;

Langston Hughes’s “The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain”

Langston Hughes was one of the most prolific writers of Harlem Renaissance era. Hughes’s works are for the sense of black pride they convey and also Hughes’s implantation of jazz into his poetry.
In 1926, Hughes wrote the critically acclaimed essay, “The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain” for The Nation magazine. In this essay, Hughes scolds artists who shy away from their racial identity to satisfy
fearful Negros and white audiences.
Hughes’s message to white audiences recognizes their interest in black art for means of stereotypical entertainment. Some of Hughes’s most powerful poems, including “I, Too” and “Freedom,” serve as keen evidence of the blasphemous behavior of Negro artists and white audiences of his time.In “The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain,” Hughes speaks of a young Negro poet who has proclaimed he does not want to be an African-American poet, but instead, just a poet.
Hughes associates this comment with the Negro poet meaning he would rather be a white poet and a whiter person. Nina Baym cites the evidence of Hughes’s outspoken protest on this matter, stating, “Early and late, Hughes’s poems demanded that African Americans be acknowledged as owners of the culture they gave to the United States and also as fully enfranchised American citizens” (Baym 2027).
