Comparative Nationalism

May 14, 2020 Leave a comment MLA, Political science

Begin your paper with a discussion of the much-debated definition of nationalism, including an explanation of the difference between patriotism and nationalism.  Punctuate these definitions with detailed examples from American politics. The rest of the paper should be comparative research of nationalist developments in other parts to the world with a historical perspective on the events that led to those developments. 

The following should be addressed:
– What is the difference between nationalism and patriotism?
– Describe the rise of nationalism in one European Country and compare those events and values to the rise of nationalism in the U.S.
– Which came first, a rise in neo-nationalism in the U.S. or in Europe for example?
– Did one set of events influence another?
– Now, with a better understanding of the definitions and developments, is the rise of nationalism at home and abroad a concern for liberal democracies?  Why or why not?

Provide facts and sources for each point in your paper.  This is a research paper.  All opinion must be supported by facts.  Avoid partisan sources.  Do not cite MSNBC or FOX News, talk radio or partisan websites.

Paper Specifics:

    Stock
    Customer Details
    Orders
    Suppliers
    Payments
    Returns

Using the ERD diagram that was developed earlier in Part A now expand upon the original ERD and develop and populate a real life Relational Database to hold their business data and ALSO a Data Mart to support the reporting requirements of the retail company.

In order to implement this Data Mart students are required to automate the loading of the data from the live production database to the Data Mart. This should be done by scripting.

Project Report Document
a.    Background Information Document and relevant graphs connected via Excel to 2 reports of YOUR CHOICE
b.    Script File to Create the Data Mart database and tables and the following reports
c.    The Data Mart SHOULD ONLY CONTAIN results only from Views  (Questions 1, 3 and 4 ONLY)

1. Create a View showing all transactions for a given week in your business.
2. Create a trigger that stores stock levels once a sale takes place.
3. Create a View of stock (by supplier) purchased by you.
4. Create a View of Total stock sold to general public (group by supplier).
5. Detail and total all transactions (SALES) for the month-to-date. (A Group By with Roll-Up)
6. Detail and total all SALES for the year-to-date. (A Group By with Roll-Up)
7. Detail & total transactions broken down on a monthly basis for 1 year. (A Group By with Roll-Up)
8. Display the growth in sales/services (as a percentage) for your business, from the 1st month of opening until now.
9. Use Excel to create a graphical representation of any 2 of the queries of YOUR CHOICE, for example Q1 & Q4. (Any type of graph)
10. Add both the SQL statements and graphs into a Word document report (Your SQL code and the screenshots and relevant graphs & ERD Diagram). The Word document must show the results of your queries when run (Screen shot of the Output).

ESL

May 14, 2020 Leave a comment APA, Psychology and Education

Part 1
Read Chapter 6 of Celce-Murcia , Second Language Listening Comprehension:
Process and Pedagogy.  Answer the following questions. Each response should be no less than 125 words for each question.

(1)  Do you agree with the distinction between skills and strategies offered in this chapter? Drawing from your own experience as a language learner or the experience of someone you know, discuss how a listener may move between skills and strategies in the process of listening. What are the implications of this for teaching listening to ESL/EFL learners?

(2)  Discuss the extent to which the development of a knowledge of language and discourse is related to learners  metacognitive awareness about second/foreign  language listening.  Why would learners who have good metacognitive knowledge about the nature and demands of listening feel more confident about their listening?

Part 2

Read Chapter 11 of Celce-Murcia , Teaching Second/Foreign Language Literacy to School-Age Learners.  Answer the following questions. Each response should be no less than 125 words for each question.

(3)  How might encountering vocabulary through a text set (a collection of fiction and nonfiction books and readings on a single theme or topic; described on p. 165) help ELLs learn new vocabulary?  What about having the students read on several topics?  Which do you think is better: deeper vocabulary knowledge on fewer different topics or broader (but shallower)vocabulary knowledge from a wide range of topics? Give arguments for both approaches to teaching vocabulary.

(4)  Review the various adaptations to literacy instruction recommended in this chapter for school-age ELLs.  What sorts of patterns do you see among them?  What are some principles underlying the different adaptations recommended for ELLs?

Please DO NOT write in an essay form. Number each question.
