Research Paper

Write a 750-1000 word (3-4 typed pages) research essay using one of the thesis statements below. Your essay must contain some scholarly research (at least 2 outside sources from the library data base) and should avoid summary. You may use ONLY the library database (link on the left). You may NOT use SparkNotes, Wikipedia, or any .com source. Proper 8th edition MLA format is required including in-text citations and works cited. Thesis statements to choose from: In “A&P,” Updike illustrates that Sammy’s immaturity results from his judgmental attitude, disrespectful personality, and sexist beliefs. In a “Rose for Emily,” Faulkner emphasizes the struggle between tradition and change, revealing that progress is inevitable and one must adapt in order to maintain their position in society. Through Ibsen’s controversial play the readers learn how society can alter an individual’s identity, affect a lifetime of choices, and establish the foundation for future attitudes. Ibsen’s play featured two prominent themes, gender equality and idealism. “A Doll’s House” is a multi-pronged battle: privileged against destitute, destitute against privileged, and privileged against privileged.

coursework

in need a response to week 4 blog and week 4 journal both should be a minimum of 150 words and the topics are listed below week 4 blog response The flood myths and apocalyptic myths differ greatly from the Eastern (Asiatic and Indian) countries to the Western (Norse, Christian, Muslim) countries. What similarities do you notice in the myths from the East as opposed to the myths of the West? What do you think about the similarities in flood myths? Someone always survives these great cataclysmic events. Are these people divinely spared, a symbol of human resilience, or a necessary part of the recreation of humanity? If you believe the floods were localized, then other people must be alive in other parts of the world; if you believe there was one flood and Noah and his family repopulated the entire earth what are the scientific implications of that theory? Would there be genetic abnormalities after a while like were known to appear in royal bloodlines? All of these questions play into the end of time scenarios presented in apocalyptic literature. week 4 journal response Were you surprised to learn that the Greek term (αποκάλυψη) apokalypsi had a different meaning than you had been taught? Apocalypse as a disclosure of knowledge or a revelation is foreign to our modern idea of apocalypse. In religious contexts it is usually a disclosure of something hidden, a vision of heavenly secrets that can make sense of earthly realities. Does this change your idea of a humanity ending disaster? How do you think humanity might come to a demise?

Film Analysis. Anthropolog Perspect

Project Two: Film Analysis
 
Description:
This assignment is intended to have you take a more critical look at a popular film or documentary in which culture plays a major theme and to analyze the anthropological content of the film. You will select a film from the list below and use that as your “data” for an ethnographic analysis. Most of the films listed can be found online through YouTube, Netflix or Hulu and at worst, can be rented through Amazon for no more than $3.99 or so.
 
Format:
A complete assignment should consist of 3-4 pages. The analysis should be typed using 10-12 pt font and be double-spaced, with 1-inch margins.
 
Instructions:
1. Select your film.
a. If you want to watch a film that is not on the list but in which culture plays a major role, talk to me about it. This list is large but not complete. However, your choice should be a film that you have not seen before.
2. Watch the film. Consider how culture is part of the film. Think about these questions and take notes – your film may not relate to all of these:
a. Describe the element of culture and explain how it is represented.
b. What class concepts do you recognize in this film? This means any class concept from the beginning to the end of the semester.
c. Why is this topic important/interesting?
d. How do people relate to different cultures? How do people use culture to relate to each other?
e. What does the use, placement, or discussion of culture tell us about the larger society in which the film takes place?
f. What are the social groups, power relations, and personal interactions that typify the characters in the film? Analyze them as if they were people in a research project.
 
The key is to look at everything. Remember context. Culture can act as a framework, setting, lens, symbol, vehicle, material culture, event or focal point. Concentrate on the human behavior and how it describes the culture in that moment and in that setting—context is everything! Remember, be holistic and comparative. What does this film say about the society in which it is set? How does the exploration of culture help them say it?
3. Write your analysis. Include the following:
a. Introduction – what is this paper about? Briefly introduce the paper. Include a brief plot summary – talk about the movie – BRIEFLY – to set the context
b. Key themes and anthropological concepts found in the film. What anthropological concepts are illustrated in the film? What aspects of culture are illustrated in the film?
c. Conclusion. What are you conclusions on the topic? Tie your analysis together in one final paragraph or two.

Mind Map

Mіnd Mаp
Thе purpоsе of this assignment is to explore the lived experienсe and personal impact of mental illness on individuals from a client centred perspective, and to explore what services are available in your local community to support these individuals.
There are three main objectives for this assessment item which must be achieved by constructing a Mind Map which clearly explains the information that you have researched.
Please note the mind map is equivalent to 1000 words of work. Therefore students are not required to write 1000 words on their mind map.
Please watch the following video titled “Real lives, Real people, Real journeys”
https://podcast.unisa.edu.au/media/hlth1036/bipolar.mp4 (Please note this video is 19:47 in length).
You may want to watch this video several times to gain sufficient understanding of the personal experiences of clients, family members and carers. You may also want to read Chapter 1 of the required course textbook for this course “Introduction to mental health and mental illness: Human connectedness and the collaborative consumer narrative” pages 1 – 24, which will help you to develop an understanding of “Recovery and Therapeutic optimism”.
Students are required to construct a Mind Map demonstrating their knowledge of the following three areas;
1. Explore the impact of mental illness from a client centred perspective, this includes family and carers perspectives.
2. Provide an outline of the Recovery model and Therapeutic optimism and how this can assist clients and their families/carers.
3. Record what services are available in your local community to support clients and their families with a mental illness. To ensure authenticity of this assessment item students must indicate contact telephone numbers and addresses of relevant services in their local community. If you are an International student you are expected to explore services within your local community in Australia only.
Students are encouraged to download free Mind Mapping software for example Freemind or Xmind for PC or Mac, other free software is available via the internet.
Please note you must download the software on your own device. You will not be able to download onto an UniSA PC.
Students may hand draw a Mind Map and must upload a high quality image of the Map
Please upload your created Mind Map as a high quality PDF document – this way your lecturer will be able to grade your assignment without needing the software that you used to create the Mind Map.
You can download the Basic versions of Mind Mapping software for free; they are easy to use to create Mind Maps as visual representations of your thoughts. For more information on how to create Mind Maps please open the PowerPoint presentation found in the Learnonlineenvironment.
Please Note:
Resubmissions are not available for this assessment item.
All students are required to upload their Mind Map as a high quality PDF document . Mind Maps submitted in any other format may not be marked
You will not be able to download the software onto a UniSA computer. You must have administrative rights to whichever computer you are using.
If you use an Apple Mac or iPad – please make sure that you can submit your assignment through the Learnonline site as there were some technical issues last year with Mac based machines.
Given the large number of students in this course, it is advisable not to contact Mental Health organisations directly as this will disrupt their ability to provide essential and ongoing services or crisis responses to individuals. Think about how you can find out about Government and NGO services and what might be available that describes these services.

Andrew Jackson: Hero or Villain?

Andrew Jackson was a political figure that Americans either loved or hated for a variety of reasons. Americans are still passionately divided on their feelings about Jackson as a man and president, – over 150 years after his death! Based on what you have read in our primary and secondary (textbook) source documents in this module,  I want you to determine how you feel about Andrew Jackson.
Was Andrew Jackson an American hero or villain? 
 
However you decide to answer this question, be sure you have specific evidence (details or examples) from the readings to help support your argument.
