This is a paper that is requires the student to discuss what extent does globalization affect your national identity. The paper also provides additional information to use in the writing of the assignment paper. Below is the assignment description:

What extent does globalization affect your national identity

Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among people, companies, and governments of different nations. It is a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. No matter where people live, individuals are always affected by globalization on a daily basis. Globalization is not only the transfer of goods, but the transfer of culture. Appearance, media and the opinions of others in society affect who we are. In that context students will write a reflective essay to analyze the concept identity as a construct through inquiring the changes in national identity within a globalized context.
Your Essay needs to be through a plan that shows an excellent understanding of globalization /identity concepts and assures a logic link between both. The main Identity concepts that were discuss during all the course themes are genuine parts of your plan.

Your essay should answer the following questions
Firstly, what is the national Identity (you need to connect with the course concepts )
Secondly, to what extent does globalization affect your national identity?
Thirdly, how national identity is changed by globalization?
Fourthly, globalization and national identity: blessing or curse?

What extent does globalization affect your national identity

The following elements may help you to write your proposal:
•Introduce the main concepts of your study.
•Formulate your research problem and related research questions in as much detail as possible.
•Formulate your research questions in such a way that you can answer them.
•References: The proposal should end with relevant references on the subject.
• It is your entirely responsibility to plan your paper

Course Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, a student will be able to:
1. Firstly, interpret the meaning and importance of identity as a construct.
2. Secondly, differentiate and question identity in terms of self, group, society, and the state.
3. Thirdly, explain how identity relates to ethnicity, religion, race, gender, class, and culture.
4. Fourthly, analyze and synthesize relationships between politics and identity.
5. Illustrate and demonstrate the dynamics of minority movements and their impact on political agendas.
6. Lastly, develop research projects by interpreting and explaining data and employing appropriate research
methods.

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.

Data can be qualitative or quantitative

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.

This is a paper that is focusing on Assessing the role of race in the court system. That is the disparity? What might be the cause of the disparity? Who benefits? Who loses?

Assessing the role of race in the court system

Assessing the role of race in the court system. That is the disparity? What might be the cause of the disparity? Who benefits? Who loses? Within this topic, you should focus your analysis somewhat narrowly on a case study, particular context, or example that highlights your topic inequality.

More details;

Racial Discrimination in the Criminal Justice System

Ethical Background
It is generally agreed that discrimination based on racial or ethnic origin is morally wrong and a
violation of the principle of equality. The equality principle requires that those who are equal be
treated equally based on similarities, and that race not be a relevant consideration in that assessment (May and Sharratt 1994: 317).

In other words, it is only possible to justify treating people
differently if there exists some factual difference between them that justifies such difference in
treatment (Rachels 1999: 94). Equality is a nonspecific term that means nothing until applied to
a particular context. Thus, in a political context, equality means equal access to public office and
equal treatment under the law, and equal treatment extends to equality in terms of job hiring,
promotion, and pay.

Race refers to groups of persons who are relatively alike in their biological inheritance
and are distinct from other groups (American Anthropological Association 1997: 2). Ethnicity
is a cultural phenomenon referring to a person’s identification with a particular cultural group
(Hinman 1998: 403). However, race is socially constructed, and the notion that persons “belong”
to a particular race was developed in the last century based on the belief that there was a
biological basis for categorizing groups of people.

Biologically, however, the term race has no meaning, yet society continues to give the notion meaning by using it as a social category.

The notion of race gradually took hold in U.S. society when the institution of slavery reinforced the
idea that one race could be inferior to another (Banks and Eberhardt 1998: 58). In the United
States, the law has had the effect of distributing benefits and burdens based on race, and the
assignment of a person to a racial category has often, in the past, determined his or her rights and
obligations (e.g., in the “Jim Crow” laws passed at the end of the Civil War).
