One discussion post – atleast 150 words

 

 

Explore the basic structure of the field of anthropology, including its subfields, methods of gathering information, and several key concepts. 

To prepare for your initial post, be sure to read the required sections in MindEdge, listed under Required Resources in the Readings and Resources section.

After reading the assigned sections, imagine that you work in the human resources department of a very large, multinational organization working on a growing international health crisis. The new director of the organization has decided to eliminate some positions to save money, and some of the first positions the director has suggested cutting are the anthropologists.

Based on the assignments below, your job is to convince the director why your assigned type of anthropologist (based on the first letter of your last name) is a vital member of the organization.

First Letter of Last Name

Assigned Type of Anthropologist

A–E

Physical Anthropologist

F–K

Linguistic Anthropologist

L–R

Cultural Anthropologist

S–Z

Archaeologist

Introduce yourself to your peers and compose your initial post as an email to the director. Be sure to accomplish the following:

  • Define the broad field of anthropology and include an appropriately formatted citation.
  • Define the specific subfield you have been assigned based on your last name and include an appropriately formatted citation for your definition.
  • Identify three specific tasks or ways in which your assigned type of anthropologist could add value to this imaginary multinational organization.
  • Explain why cultural relativism is valuable to the employees of this imaginary organization and why ethnocentrism should be avoided.

What else would you, as the director of this imaginary multinational organization, want to know about this type of anthropologist? 

Competing Interest in Public Policy

Contemporary public policy often is the result of a complex series of interactions among a large group of actors. Legislative bodies and government agencies are important players in policy formulation and implementation; however, they are not the only entities involved. There is a multitude of interested parties that may be involved in a public policy issue. For example, education policy issues might involve National Departments of Education, local departments of education, local school boards, teachers, and parents. In addition, there may be other competing interests such as church groups, atheist groups, or publishing groups, which believe that certain subjects should or should not be taught in schools. The interaction among interested parties—referred to as and considered to be competing interests—may be harmonious or conflicting, but their collective involvement in the policy network may have a major effect on outcomes of public policy.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review the article “Using Collaboration as a Governance Strategy: Lessons from Six Watershed Management Programs” in this week’s Learning Resources. Think about how competing interests might collaborate in order to influence the formulation of public policy.
  • Select an issue related to your specialization or one with which you are familiar. Identify competing interests related to your chosen issue.
  • Think about the role that competing interests might play in advocating and formulating public policy related to the issue you selected.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a brief description of the issue you selected and the competing interests involved. Then, explain the role that the competing interests play in advocating and formulating public policy related to your particular issue.

If you live outside the United States, analyze a policy issue in your country along with the competing interests that help shape it.

I believe in strong separation of church and state. I think there should be separation because they’re so many different religions and accommodating all the them will lead to chaos in America. I also think that they’re are many people who don’t believe or follow a religion so creating laws that account for religion will be a problem for these people. It’s clearly stated in the first amendment that “congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” so i don’t understand why law makers cant keep following this like we’ve been doing all thee years.  I believe the founding fathers wanted to make sure that religion was completely out of the question when creating laws. There’s absolutely not way to blur lines when making laws, if government allows some laws to accommodate religion then slowly people well start wanting all different types of religions to be accommodated. This is not what the founding fathers wanted they wanted laws to be clean and clear cut so all people can understand them and follow them.

I don’t believe that church and state can be separated strictly in the United States. Till now, religion still has significant influence on the politics in the United States. It seems weird if a person is a atheist that he/she doesn’t believe in any type of religions. Religion blends in the society and influence on people’s daily life, it is hard to separate religion from life. 

For examples, some companies are not willing to hire an atheist; a premise for a marriage is both of the couple has same religion. There is a sad example can be discussed, 11th September. Every one knows the criminals are Muslim. And last month, the President Trump was issued a strict law that Muslims are not allowed to enter in the United States. This is an example can show that religion have big impact on politics. 

 The first Amendment stated that Congress is not allowed to influence the religion while the Constitution doesn’t say that religion cannot influence on the states.  But I think it is okay to blur the lines. As the United States is a multiple cultural nation, and the religion can make people become closer even though they come from different nations.

soc discussion2

Toward the end of the 19th century, metal tools began to filter into the territory of the Yir Yoront, a tribe of the Australian Aborigines. Of particular significance to the Yir Yorontwas the introduction of the steel ax.

While the Aborigines themselves could not manufacture steel ax heads, a steady supply came from missionaries. Tribal members who attended mission festivals were presented with steel axes, but older members of the Yir Yoront shied away from such gatherings because of their earlier experience or knowledge of White people’s harshness. Therefore, women and younger men were more likely to own a steel ax.

Ownership of a steel ax emerged as a measure of status. This was especially significant because the stone ax had generally been possessed by elder males and thus was a symbol of authority. Other tribal members would have to come to an elder if they wanted to use a stone ax, but the possession of the superior steel axes by women and younger men changed all that. A wife or a young son, still uninitiated into adulthood, no longer needed to bow to the husband or father. Instead, the elder, confused and insecure, might have to borrow a steel ax from them. For the woman and boy, the steel ax helped establish a new degree of freedom that was readily accepted as they moved away from traditional values. Also, women, by virtue of ownership of this artifact of outside culture, had a trading power denied to older men.

By the mid-1930s, the Yir Yoront had maintained some of their Aboriginal identity amidst the increasing acceptance of European inventions and values, but the general passing of their culture led Lauristan Sharp to conclude that the Yir Yoront “has passed beyond the reach of any outsider who might wish to do him well or ill . . .” See L. Sharp, “Steel Axes for Stone-Age Australians,” in Technological Change. New York: Russell Sage, 1952, pp. 69–90.

Discuss the changes in the Yir Yoront due to the steel axe. Are there any other cultures that you know of that have hardened themselves against outside influence?

phd Isaac Newton / greenhouse lab

 

 I need two lab reports – please follow instructions provided.

 

Objective:

To have students observe the greenhouse effect and analyze its effect on Earth.

Time: 

This lab will take approximately 1 hour.

Materials: 

·      2- or 3-liter plastic soda bottles (3 bottles per group)

·      Lamp (100 watt or greater)

·      One-hole stopper that fits in the mouth of the bottle

·      1 sheet of black paper and 1 sheet of white paper

·      Thermometer

·      Ruler or meter stick

·      Tape

Procedure: 

1.    Each group should obtain a plastic soda bottle.  Take the stopper and insert it into the mouth of the bottle.

2.    CAREFULLY insert the thermometer into the stopper so that it hangs in the middle of the bottle.  You might want to use petroleum jelly to help get the thermometer through the stopper without breaking it. 

3.    Record the initial temperature of the air in the bottle before turning on the lamp.

4.    Position the bottle so that it is 15 cm from the lamp. 

5.    Turn the light on and watch the temperature change.  Once the temperature has not changed for approximately 3 minutes, record the final temperature in the data table that follows.

6.    Take the white piece of paper and wrap it around half of the second bottle.  Tape the paper on.  Repeat steps 4 to 6 and record.

7.    Take the black piece of paper and wrap it around half of the third bottle.  Tape the paper on.  Repeat steps 4 to 6 and record.

Data: 

Bottle

Initial temperature

Final temperature

Without paper

 

 

With white paper

 

 

With black paper

 

 

 

Analysis: 

1.    How do the bottles represent Earth? 

 

2.    Explain the natural greenhouse effect and why it is important to our planet. How many degrees would earth be different without the Greehouse effect?

 

 

3.    Why did the lab have you cover the bottle with white and black paper?  What does this represent?

 

 

4.    List all the chemicals that have been linked to climate change, both natural and anthropogenic. Differentiate between GWP of different gases.

 

 

5.     How is global warming affecting the environment? What are major impacts on the environment caused by climate change?

Academic Accountability

 

To prepare for this activity, please review The Plagiarism Spectrum: Tagging 10 Types of Unoriginal Work (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (Turnitin, 2012).  Review Instructor Guidance and Announcements.  Part of scientific research includes conveying knowledge (about theory, research, etc.) to others.  In this activity, you will practice using your own academic voice (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and applying in-text citations (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

  1. Review the following passage from your textbook, followed by a rewritten summary:

ORIGINAL AUTHOR’S THOUGHTS
Social psychologists use the scientific method—a hypothesis, or testable prediction, is developed and then tested using observational, correlational, or experimental methods.  These different methods answer different kinds of questions.  Observational methods answer questions relating to what is happening.  Correlational methods look at relationships between variables, enabling prediction.  Correlation, however, does not allow us to determine causation.  With the experimental method, researchers manipulate one variable, the independent variable, and measure the effect of that manipulation through assessment of the dependent variable.  At times, once one knows the results of a research study, those results may seem obvious, but people tend to fall short when truly predicting results beforehand.  This sense that “you knew it all along” is called the hindsight bias.  In research, attention is paid to potential ethical issues.  Researchers have their research plans checked by an institutional review board, and participants provide informed consent and are debriefed at the end of the participation.

REWRITE BY SOMEONE WANTING TO WRITE ABOUT THE ARTICLE AND ITS FINDINGS
Social psychologists use the scientific method—a hypothesis, or testable prediction, is developed and then tested using observational, correlational, or experimental methods (Feenstra, 2013).  Different methods answer different kinds of questions.  Observational methods answer questions about what is happening.  Correlation enables prediction by looking at relationships between variables.  Correlation, however, does not determine causation.  With the experimental method, researchers manipulate the independent variable and measure the effect of that manipulation on the dependent variable.  Occasionally, one might correctly predict results and feel as though he or she “knew it all along” (hindsight bias), but this is rare.  In research, attention is directed to possible ethical issues.  An institutional review board will check the plans of a researcher, and participants will provide informed consent and will be debriefed following participation in studies.

  1. Review the rewritten passage.
  2. Locate and identify the errors, based on The Plagiarism Spectrum: Tagging 10 Types of Unoriginal Work (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (Turnitin, 2012), that exist in the rewrite. 
  1. Rewrite the passage appropriately using appropriate methods for summarizing (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and paraphrasing (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. information (without using quotes.).  In other words, demonstrate how could you share the information successfully, using your own academic voice (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., within a paper you might be writing.
  2. Explain what it means to paraphrase and why this is an important practice for all individuals participating in academic writing. 
  • What are some additional features of academic writing that should be considered as you write papers within your program?
  • What methods/strategies can you use to assure that you are successfully using your own academic voice rather than someone else’s? 
  • What are some potential consequences for failing to consider the importance of academic voice (e.g., consequences in one’s academic journey/success, ability to communicate with others successfully)?
