Exploration of a real and specific fear critical analysis

Fear is scientifically as a response to a threat, real or perceive. One assumption is that many of our reactions to the threats of fear are overreactions to far less serious threats than we perceive. Some are not. You have explored fear in the world of horror and fiction, the monsters and demons that Hollywood has created which strike your mind and heart. You have looked internally at things that frighten you, and externally at the way fear manifests in the world.

This essay assignment, in general, asks you to explore real and specific fears through causal or critical analysis. In other words, either you are exploring the causes and effects related to a specific fear situation of your own or existing in the world. Or adopting a critical lens for analyzing a fear situation expressed or inspired by a text of your choice. All of these options ultimately are means to a similar end. To be able argue and draw meaningful conclusions about fear in our world. Your analysis application might be in any of a range of contexts including education, family, personal relationships, politics, media, and so on.

The ultimate objective is not necessarily to overcome your own fears here—you are not in therapy. But to understand how fear operates to impact our lives in particular ways, and to see what happens, and what could happen, as a result of our choice of response, or lack of choice. The essay may seek to alter a typical outcome by offering a specific solution. Or to project what might be a particular outcome given what research tells you about how the mind and/or body work with respect to fear.

Why did the Founders want to establish a republic rather than a (direct) democracy or populist form of government?

Why did the Founders want to establish a republic rather than a (direct) democracy or populist form of government? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type of government?

Why did the Founders want to establish a republic rather than a direct democracy or populist form of government

For this essay you have the choice between two prompts and you can pick the one that will be easiest and develop a strong paper.
1. Why did the Founders want to establish a republic rather than a (direct) democracy or populist form of government? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type of government? If ‘the people’ were to (re)found the U.S. today by re/writing the Constitution (their social contract), which form of government would ‘they’ most likely choose, and why? What kind of persons do they actually elect and want in office? Should all of the ‘people’ be involved in creating a form of government, or only some certain ones? Does it take aristocrats to create a decent democracy, as Publius sometimes seems to imply? Does it take such persons to keep it going?

2. Consider the U.S. Constitution as a kind of ‘social contract’ justifying government’s right to command and citizens’ duty to obey. Then ask yourself: is it a good agreement? That is, is it one that you are/ would be willing to make with others about shared governing institutions? Or, would you enter the contract only if certain changes were made first, and if so which ones? That is, (how) would you revise (and/or improve) the Constitution as a founding document? Are our institutions (in theory? in practice?) in fact – as Publius suggests – the ‘best’ form of government created by humans so far; alternatively, as many Americans think, is ours (politically speaking) in fact the ‘greatest country in the world’? Why or why not?

Contrast a biological understanding of Gender and a social constructionist view

Contrast a biological understanding of Gender and a social constructionist view

Compare and contrast a biological understanding of Gender and a social constructionist view and discuss the practical and social consequences of each?

More details;

Biological Theories of Gender

to biological differences between males and females. For example, chromosomes (female XX, male XY), reproductive organs (ovaries, testes), hormones (oestrogen, testosterone).

Gender refers to the cultural differences expected (by society / culture) of men and women according to their sex. A person’s sex does not change from birth, but their gender can.

In the past people tend to have very clear ideas about what was appropriate to each sex and anyone behaving differently was regard ed as deviant.

Today we accept a lot more diversity and see gender as a continuum (i.e. scale) rather than two categories. So men are free to show their “feminine side” and women are free to show their “masculine traits”.

The biological approach suggests there is no distinction between sex & gender, thus biological sex creates gendered behavior. Additionally, gender is determine by two biological factors: hormones and chromosomes.

 

Social Constructionism

Social constructionism is the theory that people develop knowledge of the world in a social context, and that much of what we perceive as reality depends on shared assumptions. From a social constructionist perspective, many things we take for granted and believe are objective reality are actually socially construct, and thus, can change as society changes.

Origins

The theory of social constructionism was introduced in the 1966 book The Social Construction of Reality, by sociologists Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckman. Berger and Luckman’s ideas were inspired by a number of thinkers, including Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, and George Herbert Mead. In particular, Mead’s theory symbolic interactionism, which suggests that social interaction is responsible for the construction of identity, was highly influential.

Explain what SDG theoretical framework is for organizations

The writing test for Professional English consists of a written advice for a specific existing company (in this case H&M) regarding the implementation of SDG’s in the company’s business strategy. For this assignment you have to use four mandatory sources (see attached files):
– The SDG Compass Guide
– The book Business and sustainable development goals by Rob van Tulder

– Text A: Sustainable development goals for people and planet

In addition to the mandatory sources mentioned above, you can add more sources you found yourself. Collect relevant literature/articles you have to use for your advice. How ethical is H&M?  How sustainable is the H&M Conscious collection? Try to find more information about that.

Explain what SDG theoretical framework is for organizations

In the SDG Compass Guide, five steps for implementing sustainability in a business’s strategy are explained. Four of these five steps form the framework of your advice; what the general contents of each step are, is briefly summarize below.

1) Firstly, understanding SDG’s: provide a theoretical framework in which you explain what SDG’s are, why they were introduced and how they are connected to CSR. Also, you have to discuss relevant research on this subject.

2) Setting priorities: discuss the company’s value chain and identify in which area or areas specific sustainability goals could have the most impact. Make sure to substantiate your choices, at least referring to the theoretical framework.

3) Setting goals: discuss relevant goals for the company to set and substantiate your claims with relevant arguments.

4) Integrating SDG’s: propose a way for the company to integrate the recommended SDG’s into its core business, as explained in the SDG Compass Guide.

In addition to these four steps, add an appropriate introduction and conclusion (a call for action) to your advice. Also, make sure you refer to the sources you used, using the APA style in the text and reference list. Finally, make sure to start your advice with an executive summary.

Instructions

Write the body of the paper before writing the abstract, introduction, and conclusion. It is much easier to write those sections once you know your argument well. The body of the paper should include:
ü  A clear and specific statement of the innovation. Bitcoin, blockchain, digital currency, virtual currency, and cryptocurrency are all different things. Similarly, algorithmic trading, machine learning, and artificial intelligence are different. You must decide exactly what your topic includes.

ü  An explanation of the technology involved. What is the difference between algorithmic trading and artificial intelligence? How does the blockchain operate? How is artificial intelligence related to customer support?

ü  A rationale for selecting the innovation and some positive facts to support it.  There was a tendency to write in the last assignment, “Bitcoin will be the greatest innovation of the next 20 years. It was created and has been in use since 2009.” Well then, why is it going to have an impact in the future? Perhaps your point is that while Bitcoin was created in 2009, it has not yet come into wide use. You could support this with facts and also data about current and potential usage. Perhaps it should be compared to dollars of PayPal or credit card transactions to argue that it has room to grow.

Maybe you should say that while there are many virtual currencies (Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, Tether, Bitcoin Cash, Libra, Monero, EOS, …), new coins are no longer created, and Bitcoin is growing while the others are shrinking. Here again, facts are required.

Understanding of the principles of Financial Economics

ü  Comparing the next new thing in finance to the most significant innovation from the past 20 years, as you identified in the first writing assignment.

ü  Ultimately, this is an economics paper. Note the term “economics” in the title. Most of the work should focus on the economics of the innovation. Does it reduce cost, and by how much? Are there barriers to entry (a big problem in digital currency)? Does the law of one price apply? How will the price incorporate the risk of default, liquidity risk, etc.? Is there a supply/demand imbalance? Does the exchange mitigate counterparty risk? Does the innovation complete the market? Is there a connection to behavioral economics? Is there a SIF which justifies the innovation even if not entirely rational? Does the value rely on an expected value and also growth over time, as in the Gordon model?

ü  Additionally, arrange the body of the paper in sections and paragraphs. The list above is not an outline, but you should have a clear strategy for arranging your points and ideas.

ü  Lastly, write the conclusion, introduction, abstract, and references after you write the body of the paper.

Pick a specific event and its consequences on American Cultural History

Pick a specific event and its consequences on American Cultural History relating to one of our primary readings.
If you decided to write your paper on an event, it must have significant cultural impact and you should use the primary source as part of your support.

For instance, you CAN’T write a paper on the American Revolution but you could write a paper on the impact Thomas Paine’s Common Sense had on the culture and how that related to the Declaration of Independence (as they are connected). You CAN’T write a paper on WWII (way to broad); however you could write a paper on the depression and hardship in Germany in the 1930s and how this lead directly to Hitler’s ability to gain control of the county and demonstrate the use of media. This paper is a historical argument paper which means you have to build a case for the answer to the question you present using 6 sources outside the class text.

This is a 8-10 page assignment.

The student must use at least 6 outside sources aside from the class text. Note if you use internet sources they must be from academic journals and research.

Wikipedia and non-scholarly resources do not count. You should write your essay corresponding to the reading assignments you have completed and are interested in. You may write your essay on any of the primary topics but you can’t write your paper on a topic you have already covered and the topic must cover the time period we are covering. At least 8-10 pages of written work (2000 – 2500 words)

12 point font 1 inch margins
Double spaced
Resources listed at the end of the paper on resource page
Proper citing within the context of the paper (Chicago manual of style)
Minimum of 6 outside sources
In total the paper should be 8-10 pages (not including the resource page)

How creativity expresses problem solving and innovative thinking

/in /by

This is a paper that requires the student to describe how creativity expresses problem solving and innovative thinking. The paper also provides additional information to use in the writing of the assignment paper. Below is the assessment description to follow:

How creativity expresses problem solving and innovative thinking

1. Firstly, describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes or contributed to group efforts over time.

Things to consider: A leadership role can mean more than just a title. It can mean being a mentor to others, acting as the person in charge of a specific task, or taking the lead role in organizing an event or project. Think about what you accomplished and what you learned from the experience. What were your responsibilities?

Also, did you lead a team? How did your experience change your perspective on leading others? Did you help to resolve an important dispute at your school, church, in your community or an organization? Also your leadership role doesn’t necessarily have to be limited to school activities. For example, do you help out or take care of your family?

2. Secondly, every person has a creative side, and it can be expressed in many ways: problem solving, original and innovative thinking, and artistically, to name a few. Describe how you express your creative side.

Things to consider: What does creativity mean to you? Do you have a creative skill that is important to you? What have you been able to do with that skill? If you used creativity to solve a problem, what was your solution? What are the steps you took to solve the problem?

Additionally, how does your creativity influence your decisions inside or outside the classroom? Does your creativity relate to your major or a future career?

3. Thirdly, what have you done to make your school or your community a better place?

Things to consider: Think of community as a term that can encompass a group, team or a place — like your high school, hometown or home. You can define community as you see fit, just make sure you talk about your role in that community. Was there a problem that you wanted to fix in your community?

Also, what did you learn from your effort? How did your actions benefit others, the wider community or both? Did you work alone or with others to initiate change in your community?

Determine the marginal costs and benefits of a professional team relocating to a new market

Determine the marginal costs and benefits of a professional team relocating to a new market. For your analysis you may consider a franchise in any professional team sport, but you must choose a team that has relocated at some time in the league’s history. Any team sport except baseball. The rest of the assignment details is in the file below. Also, two sources are provided and others are suggested.

More details;

Marginal analysis is a technique used in microeconomics by which very small changes in specific variables are studied in terms of the effect on related variables and the system as a whole. Marginal costs and benefits are a vital part of economics because they help to provide the relevant measurement of costs and benefits at a specific level of production and consumption (McCain, 2008). This is the reason why I’ve chosen this topic for my paper. We use economics in our daily lives without knowing it. It would be nice to have an unlimited source of income, where one doesn’t have to worry on how they spend.

Of course to most cases, we don’t have that luxury so we must live on a budget. Analyzing the marginal costs will benefit us in the long run because when we live on a budget, we spend most of our lives trying to find the most out of our spending. Let’s say that one person who lives on a tight budget, but they would like to have a nice vacation in one point of their lives. They would work toward that point and find out how much they would need for the costs of the trip. Every dollar now becomes crucial to their spending because we must know how much we can afford and have to be wise about it.
