One particularly hot topic in the ancient art world is the unification of the Parthenon marbles. Many of you might be aware that there exists a large collection of the marbles housed in The British Museum and were commonly known as the Elgin Marbles after Lord Elgin, who acquired them in Athens between 1801-1805. Understandably, Greece, specifically Athens, would like them back to be housed and displayed accordingly.

The British Museum argues that since the marbles were obtained in accordance with the laws of the time (before establishment of provenience laws), they own them and since the British Museum is an internationally known institution, more people are able to view, study and learn from them at their current location.

Greece argues that with the summer Olympics of 2004 and the building of the Acropolis Museum, they are now able to house the sculptures and show them appropriately.

Conduct online research on the Parthenon Marble controversy, using the research techniques we learned about in the previous module. What do you make of this? Should the marbles stay where they are in the British Museum or be returned? Why? What about the way in which the British Museum and the Acropolis Museum handle the debatewhat did you learn from the two museum’s websites? How does this controversy showcase the importance of the Parthenon and its legacy?

The book review should include two sections: The first section should provide a short summary of the work. This part should be no longer than 1 page. The second section (1-2 pages) should give a critical analysis of the book and address questions such as:

    Who is the target audience?
    Was the book easy to understand?
    Was there a clear argument in the book?
    What was the most interesting contribution you think the book makes to scholarship on the topic?
    What were some of the strengths and weaknesses of the book?
    Did the book use a lot of terms in other languages? Were these terms explained?

You do not need to include other scholarly opinions or publications on the book. This is your own analysis of the work so no external sources should be used and you will not need to include any in-text citations (other than page references to the book when you are discussing specific sections). Include a proper bibliographic entry of the book at the start of your review. It should look like this:

In a critical essay, you will select a country of your choice and will compare your chosen country to KSA in relation to the factor endowment theory. For each country, discuss:
1.    What is the impact of resource endowments on comparative advantage?
2.    Is the factor-endowment theory a good predictor of trade patterns?
3.    What additional trade theories can be applied? Explain their main insights and challenges. As one of the trade initiatives in KSA, assess the aims of Saudi Vision 2030 in relation to factor endowment theory.

Although analyzing statistical data can be challenging, it is equally challenging to convert these data into a written format. Therefore, in this activity, you will practice the important skill of data analysis and presenting statistical information in a written format. Using the provided datasets of offenses reported, calculate the mean, median, mode, max, min, and range for each of the crimes. The list of crimes includes violent crime total, murder and non-negligent manslaughter, legacy rape, revised rape, robbery, aggravated assault, property crime total, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft. The specific steps are as follows: Download 1 of the following datasets of offenses from the Uniform Crime Report: Accomack County Sheriff’s Office Honolulu Police Department Los Angeles Police Department Calculate the mean, median, mode, max, min, and range for each of the following: Violent crime total Murder and non-negligent manslaughter Legacy rape Revised rape Robbery Aggravated assault Property crime total Burglary Larceny-theft Motor vehicle theft Write 1 paragraph for each of the crimes, where you present the statistical results to the reader in a written format.

ASSIGNMENT: Using your outline and annotated bibliography from Touchstones 1.2 and 2.2, draft a 6-8 page argumentative research essay on your chosen topic.

B. Reflection
DIRECTIONS: Below your assignment, include answers to all of the following reflection questions.

Provide one example of a place where you have used rhetorical appeals or source material to support your argument. How does this enhance your essay? (2-3 sentences)
Touchstone 4 is a revision of this draft. What kind of feedback would be helpful for you as you revise? Are there parts of your draft that youre uncertain of? (3-4 sentences)

ASSIGNMENT: As you learned in this unit, a Rogerian argument is one that presents two sides of a debate and argues for a solution that will satisfy both sides. Given two articles presenting opposing sides of an issue (mandatory uniforms in schools), construct your own 2-3 page Rogerian argument essay in which you attempt to arrive at a workable solution or “middle ground.”

B. Reflection
DIRECTIONS: Below your assignment, include answers to all of the following reflection questions.

How does the Rogerian model of argument help you better understand the topic thats being discussed? Why is it a good practice to acknowledge both sides of the argument? (3-4 sentences)
Will you use the Rogerian Approach in your own argumentative essay? Why or why not? (2-3 sentences)

Instructions
For this assessment, you will develop and deliver a professional product to address the health problem defined in your first assessment to improve care and the patient experience. This will be delivered remotely rather than face-to-face to the individual or group that you have identified. Appropriate examples include development of a community education program focused on a particular health issue or a handout to help the elderly and their families understand their Medicare and Medicaid options. The product must be useful in a practice setting, relevant to your project, and designed to improve some aspect of care or the patient experience that can be used in your own practice, with your family or community.

Relevant products include but are not limited to:

Patient education handout (such as a medication sheet).
Patient safety plan.
Process improvement in-service.
Medicaid/Medicare patient coverage and finance guide.
Teaching plan.
Your submission will consist of two parts: an APA-formatted paper providing your rationale and supporting evidence, and the professional product.

For the brief APA-style paper, one organizational option is:

Summary of intervention and implementation:
What did you do?
How did you lead in terms of the processes used in the project?
With what participants?
Who were your interprofessional collaborators?
How did you lead them in this project?
What were your key findings?
Evidence-based rationale for professional product development:
What professional product did you develop?
Why did you choose this type of product?
How does it align with your intervention?
How will the product help improve outcomes?
How will the product enhance the patient experience?
How does the product improve a process related to quality, safety, and/or cost of care?
How do relevant research, evidence, and best practices support your choice of professional product and approach?
For your professional product, you may choose to develop a deliverable that could be used in your care setting to communicate and sustain relevant improvements related to the intervention you carried out. The key is that the professional product is useful to the target audience (such as a large-print Medicaid/Medicare patient coverage and finance guide that is easy for the elderly and their families to use, or an easily implemented process improvement in-service for home care nurses).
