Using the designated topic listed below (see, Topics), you will search the UMUC Library Services databases and the Internet for resource material that explains, clarifies, critiques, etc. the topic.
1. Your Resource Research and Review project must contain four (4) outside sources (not instructional material for this course), at least two of which must come from the UMUC Library data base.
2. Locate books, periodicals, and documents that may contain useful information and ideas on your topic. You may conduct your research with the assistance of a UMUC librarian, reviewing your own personal materials on the topic, using the Internet, visiting an actual library, etc. and reviewing the available items. Then, choose those works that provide a variety of perspectives on your topic.
Note: You can connect to Library Services by using the Library link under RESOURCES in the Classroom task bar, or link directly to the UMUC Library Guide to Criminal Justice Resources link in CONTENT
3. Type the reference “citation” information for the book, article, or document using the American Psychological Association (APA) formatting standards. (There are links to APA format standards under Library Services.)
4. Each reference is to be followed by the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. Creating an annotated bibliography calls for a variety of intellectual skills: concise exposition, succinct analysis, and informed library research.

Assignment 1 GEO-109 (Spring 2018)
Assignment 1 GEO-109 (Spring 2018)
Date: Jan 24, 2018 Background information:
Understanding the dynamics of complex environmental systems and the interaction of subsystems (spheres) in our planet is very important. The system approach in the study of the earth science, which considers the earth as a closed approximation of the natural closed system, has extremely important implications in the usage of natural resources, waste management and climate change studies.
1. In our day-to-day activities we rely on many things that require nonrenewable resources. All nonrenewable resources in a closed system are limited so we have to use them wisely.
2. When we dispose of waste, we should remember that the waste would remain in the boundary of the earth.
Learning objectives: A. Understanding the system approach and its use in Earth science B. Understanding Earth as a closed system C. The use of natural resources and society D. Beware of the natural world (especially our surroundings)
Questions: Your answer should include detailed explanation and not just few words. Your response should be in an essay format. If you choose to respond in a single essay each question should be addressed in a separate paragraph.
1. A. Explain the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources and give five examples of each. B. List things that you/your family relay on a day-to-day basis that requires the use of nonrenewable natural resources? Pick three of them and explain how your life would be changed without it and suggest an alternative renewable resource that substitute them?
2. Have you observed any waste management/pollution issues of any sort in your hometown? If yes explain the type of pollution, causes, possible solutions and the Earth’s sphere(s) involved. If no, research about any pollution problem in Dayton, OH or the surrounding cities and do the same.
3. Give two examples of open and closed systems.
4. Using examples explain how changes made in one part of a closed system (e.g. Earth) will eventually affect other part of the system. (Don’t repeat examples from class lecture).

South Africa and the End of Apartheid
South Africa and the End of Apartheid
Assignment Overview
South Africa is still a country divided. To be sure, ending apartheid, being done with overt racial discrimination, is a major step towards reconciliation and unification of the people. But there is a long way to go.
You now know a lot about unification. You’ve discussed it in the context of Germany and Korea, two very different countries facing strikingly similar situations.
Case Assignment
What lessons have you learned in the last two modules that apply to the situation in South Africa? How is it different?
Pick one or two of your most important thoughts about German and Korean unification and apply them to the situation in South Africa. Do this in three to five pages and hand it in by the end of this module.
Upload your papers for grading.
Assignment Expectations
The cases in POL 201 generally call for a detailed analysis of a particular situation. In addressing case questions, such an analysis requires some historical perspective and a balanced and thorough consideration of challenges facing efforts at unification or, at least, the peaceful resolution of disputes between peoples in the nation being studied.
LP4.1 Assignment – The Facade Of Neutrality
Directions: The United States tried hard to remain neutral as the war in Europe tore through the landscape. However, it was not a realistic option. Some people would argue that even President Wilson knew that neutrality and isolationism were not truly possible. With that in mind, please answer the following questions:
- In your opinion, why was the United States trying to stay neutral and remain isolated?
- Do you think the geography of the United States affected people’s attitudes toward isolationism? Why or why not?
- When the United States finally entered the war, why did it take so long to mobilize?
Your paper needs to answer all of these questions. Lines should be double spaced, with proper grammar and formatting. The paper needs to be at least 2 pages long (not including title page and reference page).
The United States had done its best to avoid a war in Europe and entered late in the war. Indeed, even after the US entered the war it took over a year to get mobilized. However, the efforts of the United States did help win the war.

Why did it take so long for the United States to mobilize after war was declared?
Why was rationing so important to the war effort?
How did propaganda keep people back home behind the war effort?
Trench warfare was pretty new to the world and it had never been done on such a huge scale before. Many would argue that life in the trenches was just as dangerous as the war itself.
- Describe life in the trenches. What were some of the more serious hazards?
- How would soldiers pass the time between scrimmages?
- Was life in the trenches just as dangerous as the war itself?

BUS 307 Case Study 1
BUS 307 Case Study 1 Guidelines and Rubric
For this case study, craft a professional email, appropriate in format, tone, and content, to send to your clients Fred and Sally, with your preliminary thoughts on the issues within. Your email should illustrate the issues and relevant law, apply the facts, and support your conclusions with regard to each issue. Always remember to be clear, kind, and professional in your communications. Case Study 1 Fred is well known in his town for his homeopathic cough syrup. After years of encouragement, he has decided to take his miracle cough remedy to market as “Fred’s Miracle Cough Syrup.” While his cough syrup is homeopathic, one of the key ingredients causes a severe reaction when taken in conjunction with aspirin. Fred plans to make and bottle his cough syrup in an outbuilding on the family farm. His son, Sam, has been raving to the locals about his father’s cough syrup for years, and the local drug store and grocer have contacted Fred to place orders as a result. Sam also intends to approach several national chains in an effort to secure supply contracts for Fred’s cough syrup. Fred has asked Sam to assist him with deliveries, as Sam has a van. Fred would like Sam to be involved with the business as an employee initially, with the option of making him a partial owner at a later time. Fred and his wife Sally have two children, Sam and Lilly. Both live in cabins on the family farm with their spouses and children. Fred and Sally engage you as their attorney to assist with the formation of the new business, including determining the appropriate business entity type, management issues, product liability issues, and estate planning for both the business and family property. After your initial meeting, you identify and research the following issues. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Describe the main types of business entities and their defining characteristics. II. Apply product liability law and determine what issues are present. How would you advise your client to mitigate those issues?
III. Apply the elements and characteristics of an agency relationship to Sam’s actions. Does Sam’s involvement prior to the business formation, as well as his anticipated role once the business is formed, create an agency relationship? Why or why not?
IV. Identify potential real property issues based on the location of the business on the family farm. Justify each potential issue. V. Does the manufacture of Fred’s Miracle Cough Syrup on the family farm necessitate a formal transfer of ownership or possessory rights? Defend your
response. VI. Identify potential personal property issues based on the use of Sam’s personal vehicle to deliver the product. Justify each potential issue.
VII. Does the use of Sam’s personal vehicle in the course of business expose Sam or the business to any liability issues? Defend your response. VIII. Identify potential estate planning issues with regard to the business and the family farm. Justify each potential issue.
IX. What estate planning vehicles are available to Fred and Sally should they desire to transfer ownership in the business and family farm, respectively, to Sam and Lilly equally? What are the advantages and disadvantages to each?
X. Applying your analysis of the issues above, which type of business entity do you recommend for Fred’s Miracle Cough Syrup and why?
