REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE’S DISCUSSION (NEED IN 15 HOURS NO EXCEPTIONS)

/in /by

Discuss your analyses and arguments on why the United States is an outlier as the sixth most dangerous country in the world based on Gross Domestic Product per capita and the connection with guns per 100 residents. 

PLEASE EXPLAIN WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTION AND WHY? (A MININUM OF 125 WORDS)

                                                       

                                                    CLASSMATE’S RESPONSE

          It always amazes me when I see a chart like this one. It is hard to believe that we live in one of the most dangerous country’s in the world. I have traveled to at least 75% of the states in our country and it seems the only times that I may be concerned for my safety are in certain big cities. High crime areas. 

          Looking at the data that was given to us we see that the United States is by far the biggest in population, second biggest when it comes to land mass, and one of the highest practicing countries of a religion. We also have one of the greatest amount of different ethnic backgrounds in the world. When you put all these together with the guns in the mix you are going to have some problems. Not that guns are a bad thing. I believe we need them in the hands of law abiding citizens. But when you have such a vast difference in income class levels and the amount of money that our country has, you’re going to see problems arise. When people struggle to live with little food, bad health situations, and a low income, that most of the time does not even provide for their families, they will turn to crime. 

            When it comes to our Gross Domestic Product per capita (GDP) and guns per 100 residents it makes a whole lot of sense why we are an outlier as the sixth most dangerous country in the world. With there being such a difference in income levels it usually leads to crime with the use of a gun. It has to do with our freedom, which of course is not a bad thing. I believe this is a huge reason for the number of guns that our country possesses. We have more access and freedom to buy guns then any other country in the world. Just about anyone can get a firearm in the United States legally or illegally. When that is the case people will arm themselves for protection. The average home in the United States that possess guns legally, probably ranges from 3-5 in each home. 

              Our country needs to spend more time educating individuals of how important guns are, if used and handled properly by the right people, we would probably see a decrease in deaths. As long as we continue to grow in numbers and income so will our crime. We just need to be prepared with better trained law enforcement and making citizens aware of their rights.

Eleven employees were put under the care of the company nurse because of high cholesterol readings. The nurse lectured them on the dangers of this condition and put them on a new diet. Shown are the cholesterol readings of the 11 employees both before the new diet and one month after use of the diet began. At 5% level of significance, test the claim that the new diet is effective in lowering cholesterol. Assume differences in cholesterol readings are normally distributed in the population.

Art History (Week 5 Discussion)

/in /by

Question 1: The Painting of Modern Life

The late nineteenth century is often cited as a critical point in the development of a “modern” art. Impressionists and Post-Impressionists turned to the contemporary world as primary subject matter, and depicted elements of that world using an innovative style.

Carefully examine the following paintings:

  • Monet, Rouen Cathedral: The Portal (In Sun), 1894
  • Manet, Bar at the Folies-Bergère, 1881-82
  • Seurat, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, c. 1884-86

In 3 well-developed paragraphs, address the following questions:

  1. How is the subject of each painting representative of Impressionism or Post-Impressionism?
  2. How are the style and visual characteristics of each painting representative of Impressionism or Post-Impressionism? Be sure to discuss specific elements such as brushwork/application of paint, use of color and light, and composition, in your response.
  3. Describe the specific ways that each painting shows tension between its inherent two-dimensionality and any illusion of three-dimensionality created by the artist.

Question 2:

Modern and Contemporary Art may seem alien to many people— seemingly without content, message, or purpose. But it can be argued that Modern and Contemporary Art visually reflect the complex and abstract ideas that we experience every day. Although not for everyone, art of the 20th and 21st centuries is often a key part of the collection in many art museums. As you consider the wide range of modern and contemporary art types that we studied this week, think of yourself actually visiting a modern art museum. In 2 well-developed paragraphs discuss:

  1. While you are visiting, what type of Modern or Contemporary art will you most want to see and why? Be sure to name the specific style (e.g., Analytic Cubism, Pop Art, Abstract Expressionism)
  2. What type will you put last on your list of “things to look for?”
  3. Why do you feel that way?

Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas. Include the images of these specific works of art in your response.

Assignment 1: Discussion—The Traveling Salesman Problem

 

Some problems in mathematics can be stated very simply but may involve complex solutions. One of the most famous of these is the Traveling Salesman Problem or, as it is known to mathematicians, the TSP.

 

The TSP is the problem of deciding the most efficient route to take between multiple cities to save time and money. This problem occupies the minds of managers from shipping companies to postal services to airlines. The routes you choose affect both your income and your expenses. Therefore, the TSP is an extremely important problem in the modern world. If you haven’t already done so, please read the section of your textbook which provides a detailed overview of the TSP and the numerous methods used to find solutions.

 

Now, put yourself in the role of a business manager that must make deliveries to five different cities in five different states. You may pick the five cities that you would like to use in this scenario. Prepare a multiple paragraph response of between 200-300 words addressing the following:

 

  • State the problem you are solving making sure to mention the five delivery destinations.
  • Clearly demonstrate each step you followed to reach the most efficient route between these five cities.
  • Consider all of the expenses that may be incurred while making these deliveries and how choosing an efficient route helps to curtail these costs.

 

Respond to at least two posts contributed by your peers and comment on the problem they demonstrated and the steps they employed to reach a solution. What would you have done the same or different? Do you agree with the solution? Can you suggest a different approach to solving the same problem?

By Saturday, March 8, 2014, deliver your assignment to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Wednesday, March 12, 2014, review and comment on your peers’

SWK313 Case Study One:

You are a social worker in a program with in a non-government agency that supports people recovering from addiction. Steve, a 23 year old man presents at your service as he has been has a upcoming Court date for some drug related offences and his lawyer  told him if he attends a course it will prevent him from going to prison.

Steve has a long history of alcohol and marijuana addiction as well as several prior convictions for theft and burglary. Steve has no family support and left home and school when he was 14 after being abused by his alcoholic step father. He is currently living in transitional housing with friends who are also drug users.  Steve has never been able to hold down a job, but picks up occasional work.

Steve agreed to one of one counselling however, during sessions he would often make rude remarks he was angry and bored and would often walk out of sessions.

 

SWK313 Case Study Two

You are a social worker in a government child protective service and you receive the following report and are allocated to work with the family:

Subject Children:  Stephen (aged 8

                                          Mary (aged 4

 

Parents         Jeanie (b.mo aged 28)

                                          Tom ( b.fa aged (32)

 

Address:       Remote community (during Wet season)

                                           Outstation (during Dry season)

 

Case Manager:      Tess

 

Current situation:

 

A notification was received from a remote community health centre notifying that Stephen and Mary will be air lifted to Hospital due to weight loss (each averaging 200 grams per week). B/mo of the children Jeanie is pregnant and is also considered to be severely malnourished so will also be flying in with the children for treatment.  Family will be accompanied by another female family member who notifier describes as ‘responsible’.   Notifier advised that they had applied the World Health Organisation classification for malnourishment to both children and it meets the ‘severe’ category.  Notifier also notes that it is unusual to need to admit a child of eight (8) years of age to hospital for malnourishment. 

 

Notifier stated they have continued to experience difficulties in following-up health issues for the children because family spends large amounts of time at their Outstation and there is no service outreach to this location.  Previous involvement with the family has resulted in two (2) hospitalisations for Stephen and Mary for failure to thrive and each time their weight had increased on their return to community however contact is lost when family moves to the outstation. Notifier added that b/mo Jeanie has disclosed that there is often little to no food available at the Outstation as it runs out quickly.  Jeanie presents as disempowered when discussing family issues with the health centre and her own serious malnourished state supports the view that her nutritional needs take low priority in the family hierarchy.  The health centre has had no direct involvement with the birth father as he never accompanies Jeanie or the children to their service. When the Centre has used a local interpreter to discuss family issues, Jeanie is even less forthcoming with details of her family life. A staff member at the health centre has told notifier that she saw the father driving around the community recently in a new 4-wheel drive.

 

SWK313 Case Study 3

 

Betty (26) is an Aboriginal woman who lives in suburban Darwin with her Partner (Rick) He is an Anglo Australian casual labourer. They have been together for 2 years and Betty is 6 months pregnant with her first child.  She has visited the hospital for a health check up and the nurse made a referral to the social worker to have a ‘chat’ as she said she had been feeling down and was not very happy about the baby coming. Betty did not identify any other family she was close to other than her partner Rick. Betty works at Windscreens Obrien on accounts, as she has her certificates and likes to work.  She hides some of her money as Rick is in control of the finance’s and she likes to sneak out every now and then and buy something of her choosing. She is worried about the baby coming and not having access to money.

 Michelle and Stacey were roommates. Michelle had a boyfriend named Steve. Stacey did not like Steve very much. She found him to be ignorant and thought he drank too much. Stacey also did not like the way Steve treated Michelle. One night Stacey game back to the apartment and found Steve stabbing Michelle in her chest over and over yelling, “how could you do this to me Michelle, I love you with all my heart, how could you.” Steve was visibly drunk. Stacey walked over to her desk drawer and pulled out a gun and stated, “I have had enough of you Steve.” Stacey shot Steve straight in the heart and he died. Moments later Michelle got to her feet and took the knife Steve was stabbing her with and stabbed Stacey in the chest several times yelling, “I loved him, how dare you.”

Discuss the crime(s) Stacey and Michelle would be guilty of using the model penal code.

Stacey and Michelle are both caught in this odd scenario where they respond emotionally to the events that are occurring. Stacey found a good justification to finally get rid of Steve who she already strongly disliked however Michelle responded in a fit of passion. In Stacey’s scenario she had enough time to walk over where she new a weapon was and make the decision to shoot Steve and have the intent of killing him. Michelle’s response isn’t so calculated its more a knee jerk response.

The two differences are important. The Model Penal Code has two classifications intentional and unintentional. There are subcategories to these which are purposefully, knowingly, recklessly and negligently. The first two belong with the intentional category and the last two belong with the unintentional. Stacey had intent to kill Steve and she purposefully and knowingly did it. Michelle on the other hand was reckless and negligent in her response. [1]

Since the Model Penal Code was created some states have decided to expand on it, for example Oregon. Oregon expanded on voluntary manslaughter and the defense heat of passion is now used often. In this instance I could easily see the heat of passion defense being used in this case to protect Michelle who had not only just been stabbed by her boyfriend but then seen him shot. I believe in this instance both would be charged with voluntary manslaughter but one would have a stronger defense than the other. [2]

Respond to 1 of the questions below

/in /by

Please choose one of the following questions to answer for this unit by Wednesday at 11:59 pm (CST).  You should also respond to two of your classmates’ postings by Sunday at 11:59 pm (CST).

Before answering this unit’s questions, you should read Schmid’s Natural Born Celebrities, “The Victorian Killer as Media Star: Jack the Ripper and H.H. Holmes,” p. 31. 

Keep in mind, as you read the text, a few of the questions posted below.

 

Questions (Reading)

Choose one questions to answer:

  1. At first glance there is little to connect Joe Goldberg (in our novel this week) and Jack the Ripper, but Schmid portrays the panic and fascination with the Ripper as something that the media created.  On p. 33, Schmid describes the public panic in 1888 when Jack the Ripper stalked and killed his victims as motivated by the media.  Is our fear of Joe the same as a Victorian Londonite’s fear of the Ripper?  Or is our fascination with serial killers dramatically different in the 21st century?  Give specific media examples or points from our novel this week to detail why or why not.
  2. Schmid details the fact that much of our own knowledge of the Ripper is taken from “dime novels” written just after the murders.  These books were excessive, romantic, Gothic depictions of a monster.  Using specific examples from our text this week, show me whether or not You is a “dime novel” reveling in gratuitous description of a murderer or in real life danger.
  3. Much of Schmid’s chapter discusses the ties between Jack the Ripper and nationality, specifically his “Englishness” or his foreignness, depending upon the choice of suspects.  Take a note from Schmid and describe the ways You is an American serial killer novel.  What aspects of our society or national identity appear to be tied with serial killer media in the 21st century or with the consumption of violence overall?
