“As you will see from the attached file I downloaded and combined both your files. In doing so I noticed what seems to be a contradiction between your bibliography, your outline, and your stated topic. Are you looking at what was going on within Scandinavia, or without? To do the first you might look for more books on medieval Norway, Denmark, or Sweden, and not just for ‘Viking conquest’-type books. You may shift your topic to outside Scandinavia and Viking settlements and accomplishments. However, be careful of what you label ‘Viking’. Your outline suggests you view William the Conqueror as a Viking (unless I read it wrong), and that is definitely not the case. Backman’s text cannot serve as a main source, but it might give you useful dates, etc., to help as you focus your research.”
I will need a list of references please, preferably in Chicago format bibliography
1. You need to find an ARTICLE to write your paper about. This must be a news or journal article about a specific case of JUVENILE deliquency, not crime in general. If there is not enough material in your article to analyze, you will need to find several articles with the same type of juvenile delinquency.
2. You need to write this paper in the proper format- in paragraphs, citing material paraphrased or quoted from other sources. When citing the textbook, just put textbook and the page number (textbook 11). 4-5 pages = 1600-2000 words. Do not write less than 1600 words or I will subtract points.
3. You need to pick ONE primary theory and apply that theory to the example from your article. You may discuss the other theories in order to show the strengths and weaknesses of the theory you have chosen, but do not write about all of the theories. The theory should be appropriate for the case and examples from your article. Remember, this is an exercise for you to show me that you can recognize which theory is most appropriate for different kinds of juvenile delinquency.
In Joyce Carol Oates’ “Where Are You Going, Where Have You
Been?” Arnold Friend is clearly a predator and a direct threat to
Connie. Analyze why (according to Oates’ characterizations in the
story) Connie would be vulnerable to the threat he poses and how
she responds to the threat he poses. What is Oates’ apparent point
in depicting this situation in the story?

Comprehensive Assessment Portfolio (CAP) Key Assignment
This course qualifies as a CAP course, which means that the paper will serve as a key assignment for your Comprehensive Assessment Portfolio. The key CAP Assignment for this course is a requirement for the course regardless of your status in the Psychology major. All students must complete the assignment. Psychology Majors must submit the CAP Assignment, along with evidence of their grade, into their electronic portfolio once the assignment has been graded.
This assignment is designed to allow students the opportunity to explore a given topic of interest within the field of Cognitive Psychology more in-depth than is covered in the lectures. Students will have the choice between two avenues for the paper and for either choice, there is no strict guideline as to which topic students should choose. Option 1: Students can choose to perform a literature review on a given topic of interest to them within the field of Cognitive Psychology. It is recommended that students examine the topics in the textbook to get some starting points include Perception and Action, Working Memory and the Brain, Distortions of Long-Term Memory, Emotion and Decision-Making, etc. Option 2: Students can choose to focus on a specific set of cognitive deficits, how they are assessed, and how what we know from basic cognitive psychological research informs us about the cognitive deficits you are writing about.
For both paper routes, students will be expected to identify what is known about their chosen topic, describing empirical studies on the topic, which can include behavioral studies, brain imaging studies, or both. If you choose to discuss neuroscientific work you will be expected to discuss in basic terms the role of important brain structures in the given topic you are discussing (e.g., the hippocampus in memory encoding). Importantly, any outstanding questions you may have about the topic that are not addressed by the studies you have reviewed should be included in a discussion section, with potential ideas for how that question could be addressed. For example, you can propose an idea for an experimental manipulation, or a given methodological technique we have discussed in the course that you think could shed more light on the question of interest.
Paper Requirements & Guidelines
Length & Formatting: The final paper should be between 8-10 pages, double-spaced, 12 pt. font, 1-inch margins, have page numbers in the upper right hand corner, and be written in APA format.
References: Students should include a minimum of 5 scientific references. This means articles from scientific journals, or books. At least three of your references must be empirical studies. Articles written in popular science magazines, newspapers, Wikipedia etc., are not acceptable as scientific references. This is not to say that you cannot examine these sources to begin your search and gather your thoughts. However, academic sources must be used as the references you include in your paper. The rationale for this assignment is to familiarize you with writing a research paper, and using scientific databases to conduct your inquiries. For example, some databases that may be helpful include PubMed, PsycInfo and PsycNet and Google Scholar. When citing references in the paper, you must follow APA guildelines. The Adelphi University Libraries website has useful guides for following APA style: http://libraries.adelphi.edu/research/citation.php.
Citations: When citing studies in the text of the paper, do not use direct quotes. The point of this assignment is for you to demonstrate a basic understanding of scientific literature and research and be able to explain it in your own words. When describing a specific study, or set of findings, or even ideas expressed in a scientific review paper, it is imperative to summarize/describe in your own words and provide the citation of that study after you talk about it.
Tone: This paper should be written in the third person, as opposed to the first person. That means no use of “I” or “you” in the paper, even when expressing your own thoughts.
Watch a television sitcom. It needs to be a scripted comedy. You will need the ability to watch it multiple times, so consider recording it or viewing it on the internet (Netflix, YouTube, Tvfanatic.com, other websites). If you are unfamiliar with television sitcoms, consider watching an episode of one of the following for this exercise (all listed are shown on prime time TV, channels ABC, CBS, NBC, or Fox).
Watch a three-minute scene from the sitcom without sound. Take note of nonverbal elements of one of the characters. Now watch that same scene with the sound. Take note of what you learn about the character from his or her voice and body language combined.
What show did you watch? What did you find easy to understand, and what presented a challenge in regard to the character’s communication? What did you miss when the sound was not on? Can you understand the person’s feelings just by watching his or her nonverbal communication? Explain.
What does this exercise teach us about “real” life communication?

Write a 4-5 page essay that answers ALL of the following questions about the book.
1)Weinstein’s book deals with the construction over time of racialized categories. In the introductory paragraph, identify Weinstein’s thesis about how Paulista’s in the 20th century constructed their own identity as a part of the Brazilian nation. (You will find this somewhere in pages 1-6.
2)In the body of the essay, you should draw on all of the following chapters: 2, 6, and 7. Answer the following questions.
-How did the Constitutionalist Campaign in the early 1930s contribute to the construction of a Paulista identity? What was that identity? (chapter 2)
-What were the dominant (hegemonic) messages that the organizers of the Centenário (400th anniversary of the founding of São Paulo) wanted to convey about their city and state? Give examples.
-What versions of São Paulo’s history were told during the Centenário? Who was excluded from the history?
3)Using the Epilogue and Conclusion, answer the following question: What is an example of a political result (as shown by Weinstein) of the “Paulista identity” she describes?
This is a complex and theoretically and methodologically rich book. Some of the discussions that she engages are aimed at specialists and professional historians so don’t get bogged down if you don’t understand something. The questions above should help you navigate through the book, and they already suggest topic sentences. Don’t write narrative passages, but, instead, provide analysis. You are welcome to discuss any of this with me during office hours if anything is unclear. Please follow the same writing guidelines that I gave for the last paper assignment.
Using your thesis statement and research, present the problem that needs to be addressed with your proposed solution. Note: Your solution, advantages, and challenges, will be in Parts 2 and 3.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
Provide an appropriate title and an interesting opening paragraph to appeal to your stated audience (appeal with logic, ethics, or emotion).
Include a defensible, relevant thesis statement in the first paragraph. (Revised from Assignment 2)
Describe the history and status of the issue and provide an overview of the problem(s) that need to be addressed. This should be one or two (1-2) paragraphs.
Explain the first problem (economic, social, political, environmental, complexity, inequity, ethical/moral, etc.) and provide support for your claims. This should be one or two (1-2) paragraphs.
Explain the second problem (economic, social, political, environmental, complexity, inequity, ethical/moral, etc.). and provide support for your claims. This should be one or two (1-2) paragraphs.
Explain the third problem (economic, social, political, environmental, complexity, inequity, ethical/moral, etc.) and provide support for your claims. This should be one or two (1-2) paragraphs.
Provide a concluding paragraph that summarizes the stated problems and promises a solution.
Develop a coherently structured paper with an introduction, body, and conclusion.
Use effective transitional words, phrases, and sentences throughout the paper.
Support claims with at least three (3) quality, relevant references. Use credible, academic sources available through Strayer University’s Resource Center. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.
Final Assignment History Due November 19
Assignment: A Final Research Project will be due by Sunday night on Week 13 of the class at 11:55PM. The project will require the student to produce a scholarly research paper on any approved topic of his/her choice which covers any time period between colonization and Reconstruction. This topic will need to be approved by the facilitator by the end of Week 10. The paper will be 8-10 pages in length excluding the Title, Abstract, and References page. In other words, the body of the paper must be 8-10 pages in length. The Title, Abstract and References page is in addition to this requirement. A minimum of ten (10) academic sources will need to be used and it is highly encouraged that the student uses a combination of primary and secondary sources and all must be cited and listed in accordance with the current APA format issued at the time this course is offered.
What I would like to write about: For the Final Research Project, I will be covering the topic of colonization. More specifically, when Christopher Columbus traveled to what we now call America and discovered that there were in fact people living here and they had their own language and their own trading system. He wanted to learn the way that the natives worked and how they had lived on this so called new land that he had “discovered”. He wanted to learn how he could bring his people over from England, and teach them how to live just like the natives did for so long. The reason I picked this topic specifically, is because we all have to ask ourselves how we got to where we are now. It is interesting to me how so long ago, Christopher sailed the ocean blue to find a new trading route to China, but instead found this fantastic place we call home. I have found numerous things about Christopher Columbus that i did not know before doing the research for my Final Research Project. One is that he was convinced that he had landed in Asia. He saw the natives and the land and it gave him the idea that he landed in Asia. Another thing i did not know about him, is that when he got sent back to Spain, he was sent back in chains and shackles. The Spanish saw the way he treated the natives and thought that it was to brutal and harsh. So he went to Spain and was in jail for six weeks, then the king let him go and pardoned him afterwards
Source that I had to turn in: My second source that I will be using for the Final Research Project is howardzinn.org/columbus-lens-of-history. Although now two of my sources are from Howard Zinn, he is a very respected author in the History field and has many books on Christopher Columbus and he journey two the new land. I choose this source because it covers what Christopher Columbus had to go through when he landed on the new land. It covers what the Indians went through and what they had to do to stay alive. This source contributes to the project by giving me the information on the Indians
Another source that I had to turn in: For my third source, I will be using christopher-columbus.eu/voyage-1.htm. I am using this source because it goes into why Christopher Columbus took his first voyage and how he got back. It does not go into what happened when he got to this new land that he had discovered, but it goes into why and how. I think this source contributes to the Final Report Project because it can be used to see why he wanted to take the voyage in the first place. We all have different views of why he took it. Most believe it was for the money from the new land. Others believe that he wanted to find a new trading route to China.
