You are asked to use the article youve chosen to analyze a current Israeli event. It would be best if you began by quickly summarize the main idea of the article (its main arguments) and how it relates to earlier readings. Then, analyze the case study event by the articles arguments and results, (perhaps they are intriguing, contradict or support earlier readings, relate to overarching themes of violence, etc.) by the excerpts (i.e., quotes) or data from the text that support these points. if the case study doesnt fit perfectly to the article arguments you should suggest other factors that werent examined in the article and might affect these differences.
Day: November 8, 2020
All of the following have been found to be correlated with subjective well-being: 1) Social relationships/friendship; 2) extraversion; 3) being in a romantic relationship/marriage; 4) being religious or spiritual; 5) Having children
Although there is consistent research on these factors, there are exceptions to this. For this paper, you are to explore two ideas that run counter to these expectations. More specifically:
– Being introverted
– Being non-religious or spiritual
For each, you should integrate research that discusses how, in some cases or under certain circumstances, these variables can lead to happiness.
This paper should be typed, double spaced and should be between 5-6 pages. You are not required to write an abstract. But, in every other way, this paper should be written in proper APA format (i.e. title page, in-text citations, reference page etc.). All citations are included in files and all of them should be used in paper.
So, basically, you need to write why introverted people and non religious people are happier in some way than religious people and extroverts.

In 5 to 8 pages, write a report based on the following scenario:
de la Portilla food stores, a family owned grocery store chain
headquartered in Refugio, Texas, is considering a major expansion.
The proposed expansion would require de la Portilla to raise $80
million in additional capital. Because de la Portilla currently has a debt
ratio of 50 percent, and because the family members have all their
funds tied up in the business, the owners cannot supply any
additional equity. So the company will have to sell shares of the
company to the public. However, the family wants to insure they retain
control of the company. This would be de la Portillas first stock sale,
and the owners are not sure just what would be involved. Therefore,
they have asked you to research the process and to help them decide
exactly how to raise the needed capital. In doing so, you should
answer the following questions:
1. What are the advantages to de la Portilla to finance with shares
rather than bonds? What are the disadvantages of using
shares?
2. Are the shares of de la Portilla food stores currently publicly
held or privately owned? Would this situation change if the sale
shares were made?
3. What are classified shares (stock)? Would there be any
advantage to de la Portilla of designating the shares currently
outstanding as founders shares? What type of common
shares should de la Portilla sell to the public to allow the family
to retain control of the business?
4. What does the term going public mean? What would be the
advantages to the de la Portilla family of having the firm go
public? What would be the disadvantages?
5. What does the term listed stock mean? Do you believe de la
Portilla shares would be listed shortly after the company goes
public? If not, where would the shares trade?

Jagdambay Exports (http://www.jagdambayexports.com/), a
manufacturer and exporter of Baby Wears Garments, is considering
going public to raise funds to expand in USA. The Chief Financial
Officer (CFO) of Jagdambay Exports has approached the investment
banking firm at which you work seeking help with its decision. Your
boss asked you to explain the nature of the U.S. financial markets and
the process of issuing equity to the CFO of Jagdambay Exports.
To help with this task, your boss has asked you to explain some
things regarding the U.S. financial system to CFO of Jagdambay
Exports:
– Explain the components of a financial market and its relevance
to Jagdambay Exports. Be explicit and explain to the CFO how
financial markets differ from markets for physical assets and
why that difference matters to Jagdambay Exports.
– Explain the relevance of money markets and capital markets for
Jagdambay Exports.
– Analyze Jagdambay exports and advise how the CFO should
consider the primary market and secondary market in the
expected transaction. Base your advice, in part, upon the fact
that the CFO informed of two things:
a) Jagdambay exports decided to issue additional common
stock, and
b) An investor purchased 1,000 shares of this common
stock from the underwriter (Merrill Lynch).
– Advise the CFO on three primary ways in which capital may be
transferred between savers and borrowers in Jagdambay
Exports. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of each
within the organization.
– Advise the CFO on securities trading on physical exchanges or
over-the-counter market. Base your analysis upon what you
know about Jagdambay Exports and discuss why you advise
one method over the other.
– Summarize the U.S. financial system advice to the CFO and
provide a timeline of expected outcomes based on your advice.
(This should be no more than a paragraph or two).
– Finally, write 2 -3 sentences about what you learned regarding
the U.S. financial system based upon this assignment.
As weve seen throughout the semester culture is comprised of practices that are alive. That is, a groups culture is created and recreated, adapted and changed, and constantly produced as its environment changes and/or as new generations come along. So while we tend to think of culture as a legacy from the past, culture is really about the present.
Using the example of reggaeton discuss in 700-words how Puerto Rican culture is renovated through innovation, mixing and contact with other cultures.
Be sure to include in your essay
what is reggaeton?
where does it come from?
describe its ‘hybridity’
are these musical forms destroying the traditional culture?
are they just a normal evolution of the culture?

In this assignment, you will critically read and summarize the information in the peer-reviewed articles and/or books from Assignment 1 and the additional references that you have collected. This should not just be a summary of what each paper did and what results they found. Given that you will be reading more papers than the required 6-8 sources for the paper, you will want to think critically about which of the papers that you read best inform your research question. Once you have decided on a set of references to use in this section, you will want to think about how the research fits together to create a cohesive synthesis of the literature as it pertains to your research question. Thus, you will need to think about what are the major themes in the literature and group your discussion of the literature around those themes.
Include an overall summary of the literature
What types of articles are they (empirical/theoretical/policy brief) and what research questions and outcomes do they examine?
Integrate the information from your sources into specific themes to synthesize the literature into a cohesive narrative
We will talk more about themes in the lecture, but literature could be grouped by the specific outcomes examined (if looking at multiple outcomes) or by types of effects found (if you find contradictory positive and negative findings)
DO NOT just summarize each source individually. Writing in this way does not show that you have thought critically about each of the articles.
Your Research Paper assignment is a 1200 to 2000 word (not counting your bibliography) informative research paper on a topic of your choosing, as long as it pertains to biological/physical anthropology. Font will be 12pt in Times New Roman (or something very similar), one-inch margins and double-spaced. I will require a header at the top each page with your name and class, in a similar fashion to the header at the top of this page. Please include page numbers on a corner of each page of your paper. Do not include a title page, rather a bolded title at the top of the first page (similar to this document). Do not over-space the top of the document. The format of your paper will be in accordance with the American Anthropology Association (AAA) style guide. I have posted the AAA style guide on Canvas.
Appropriate topics include, but are not limited to, evolutionary theory, primatology, paleopathology, human skeletal biology, genetic studies, forensics, etc. This can be a fun investigation of something you find interesting.
You will be responsible for finding at least 3 journal articles that are related to your topic of interest and using their content to support your paper. As this is an academic paper, sources must be academic peer-reviewed journals, which means no blogs, no wikipedia, no newspapers (yes this includes National Geographic and Smithsonian). Some books may be acceptable, but I would advise against their use, as it may be hard to ferret out what would work and what will lose you points.
Anything that is not common knowledge requires a citation. You will be using in-text citations in accordance with the AAA style guide. A good rule is when in doubt cite. I need to know where you are getting your information. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. If you have a question with regards to proper citation or how to cite, look at the style guide.
You will be turning in your paper by uploading it on Canvas. There will be a 15% deduction for each day your paper is late. Late count starts the minute after the due time/date. Do not wait until the last minute. Finish early so you dont have to worry, as I will not allow any excuses for late work. For example, if you were just about to submit your paper and your computer freezes, or the internet goes out, and you have to run to the library in the hail and snow, barefoot, while fighting zombies, to get your paper turned in, but it is 12:01 am, your paper will be late.
CITATION EXAMPLES:
Within text:
Preferred resources are those that are disproportionately selected relative to their abundance in the habitat (Marshall & Wrangham, 2007). If you have more than two authors list the first author followed by et al. (Marshal et al. 2007).
In Bibliography:
Marshall, A.J. & R.W. Wrangham.
2007 Evolutionary consequences of fallback foods.
International Journal of Primatology 283(55):1219-1235.
This assignment’s purpose is to be able to research a topic further than just googling; to be able to academically research. The sources you use need to be academic. What I mean by academic is that they should be peer-reviewed academic journals (see below). Further, your formatting should be exactly what I am asking for.
First and foremost, you will be heavily graded on whether or not your sources are academic in nature. For each non-academic source, I will deduct up to 30% off your grade. Since you need three sources, you stand to fail this assignment rather quickly if you don’t have the correct sources.
What are acceptable sources? All fields in science have peer-reviewed publications, usually in the form of journals. This is how research and conclusions are presented. Peer-reviewed means they have gone through a rigorous process and any conclusions presented have to include what methods were used as well as background and analysis. The supplemental reading I have provided in class has all been from such sources.
Here are a few examples in the Anthropology world
American Journal of Physical Anthropology (Links to an external site.)
American Journal of Primatology (Links to an external site.)
And this (Links to an external site.) will give you possible links to all anthropology journals. Note: not all of these publications are acceptable. For example, Anthro News is not a peer-reviewed journal. Email me if you are unsure.
You are more than welcome to bring in publications from other disciplines.
Common misconceptions of acceptable sources:
1. It ends in a .edu. This does not make it an academic source. I suggest you look at who wrote whatever you are reading and see if they have published.
2. The Smithsonian, National Geographic are also not allowed. Again, look at who wrote the article or whose research they are referencing.
In-text citation: This is a concept that eludes most people. If you are using an idea that is not common knowledge you need to provide an in-text citation (see style guide and assignment). When you are paraphrasing one of your sources, you need to cite. When you quote, you need to cite. When in doubt, cite. Not citing is called plagiarism.
Frequently asked questions about sources:
Once I have my academic sources can I use other non-academic ones? – Yes, you may. But do not lean too much on them for the content of your paper or your grade will suffer.
Can I use our textbook or lecture notes? – Yes, but same as above, do not make them your primary sources.
How about if I find an academic book? – This is a gray area. Some books are acceptable, some are not. You can email me with the book information if you want to double and make sure it’s a valid source.
Articles are asking for money to access them, do I need to pay? No! You can access any article through the school library for free!
Citing and quoting: Your paper should be in your own words (remember to still cite). You are welcome to use quotes, but do NOT make your paper quote-heavy. Your paper should not be a bunch of quotes tied together.
Page length:
This is to be a 5 to 8-page paper (1200 to 2000 words) not counting the bibliography. If you give me a short paper you will be marked off from anywhere from 20% to 90% of your overall grade. On the other hand, if you turn in too many pages (9+) you will also lose points. This will be a challenge for many of you. It may be difficult to write what you need to in so few pages, keep it pithy and to the point.
While this is not an English class I do expect proper collegiate writing. When writing your paper please organize it well. Setup an introductory paragraph to let me know what you are going to be writing about. Break-up all subsequent thoughts into separate paragraphs.
While you are welcome to submit your paper anytime before the due date. Your paper will be deducted 15% for every day it’s late.
