Presentation 2: Regional Christianity

November 29, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Religion / Theology

As with the first presentation, this second presentation will involve creating a set of at least 8 slides and then recording a 4- to 5-minute video/audio narration of those slides.  Points will be deducted for going beyond 5 minutes, so carefully craft your presentation to feature the important highlights.  You will be using Canvas Studio (Links to an external site.).

Unlike your first, this presentation will be on a modern region of the world and the growth/decline of Christianity in that region (see below). This second presentation must include the following as separate components:

An introduction to the current state of Christianity in the region (minority/majority status, growth/decline, unique characteristics/factors, etc.)
A survey of the growth or decline of Christianity in the region from 1970 to the present (and projected to 2020)
Your assessment of the positive and negative aspects of the Christian presence in the region
Helpful and relevant maps, images, and quotations from the following sources should be included throughout the presentation slides. Don’t pack your slides with content (that’s distracting); rather, carefully select what is most applicable and enhances your narration. Be sure to cite your sources on the slide you use them on, and include a Works Cited page at the end of the presentation.

For this presentation, select 1 of the regions below by posting its title in the discussion. A maximum of 5 students may select any single region, so post your selection early. Wait for the instructor to reply to your post with approval before beginning your research.

Africa (NO choices left.  Choose another region.)
Asia (4 spots left for choice)
Europe (1 spot left for choice)
Latin America (1 spot left for choice)
Northern America (2 spots left for choice)
Oceania (5 spots left for choice)
When your selection has been approved, or you have selected and been approved for an alternate region, begin your research by using the study report Christianity in its Global Context, 1970-2020Preview the document and Noll’s book (even if you need to read ahead a bit). You must make significant use of this study report (and at least reference Noll’s book) as you prepare your presentation, but you will need to use a few additional sources as well, which you will need to find on your own. Use reliable internet resources, a few of which are linked above.

(PTSD)
Joanne, age 32, is involved with the first man that really counts in her life. As the couple has become more intimate, Joanne has started to have flashbacks about an uncle who touched her sexually when she was only eight years old. She is distressed to find out that she is shutting down feelings about her boyfriend and distancing herself from him. Although she has been sexual with other men, she says she cant stand to let herself be sexual with someone she lves and trusts. She startles easily and reports a general increase in anxiety. She is very angry that she has to deal with the feelings about the incidents with her uncle that happened so long ago. She says that she thought she had gotten beyond all that.

Jack graduated from high school and got a job working in a video store. After
working for about 6 months Jack began to hear voices that told him he was no
good. He also began to believe that his boss was planting small video cameras in
the returned tapes to catch him making mistakes. Jack became increasingly
agitated at work, particularly during busy times, and began “talking strangely” to
customers. For example one customer asked for a tape to be reserved and Jack
indicated that that tape may not be available because it had “surveillance photos
of him that were being reviewed by the CIA”. After about a year Jack quit his job
one night, yelling at his boss that he couldn’t take the constant abuse of being
watched by all the TV screens in the store and even in his own home.

Qualitative Research

November 29, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Mathematics and Statistics

Instructions:
I need my 8 pages based ONLY on the literature review section of my paper that I have uploaded (Bid4Papers Qualitative Research).  Upon your revising the Bid4Papers Qualitative Research paper, I want the writer to see that I only have two pages in the LITERATURE REVIEW SECTION (my professor wants more; and so, I need writer to continue from where I left off – IT is highlighted WRITER CONTINUES HERE (on page 7) of the research paper and focuses the eight pages on the LITERATURE REVIEW SECTION.  Please use the attached/uploaded references to add in text citations as you furnish the finished (8 pages)
I HAVE DONE TWO PAGES ALREADY; THE WRITER WILL CONTINUE THE WRITING FROM WHERE I LEFT OFF.

Literature Review (10 pages):
This step is to review the current state of research on the topic entertained in your thesis/project. Information provided in this chapter, (differs from the general background information provided in chapter I), in that, it is designed to provide your readers with prior research relate to the goals and objectives/research questions you seek to answer.
As such, information described in this section should provide an extensive overview of varying viewpoints surrounding your research goals/questions, (organized by topic specific ideas), thus, orienting the reader in the discourse of the field. Keep in mind, however, that at this stage of the thesis writing your goal is simply to present these varying viewpoints, not to be critical of them.
In writing information needed in this Chapter, ensure your description is detailed enough, thus, providing your readers with the backdrop to, and/or reasons for, conducting your research/project.
For example: if your project is designed to focus on the high drop-out rates of special education students at the high school level, culminating in an in-depth plan/recommendations school systems can use to enhance their retention and graduation rates, your literature review should start by providing an overview of the drop-out rate of special education students at the high school level, thus, identifying the importance of your project, followed by an in-depth description of variables a variety of researchers say influence this drop-out rate, in addition to factors that enhance their retention and graduation rates. This information can then be infused in the plan/recommendations you would tell your school district to use.

The Political & Economical Relation between the US & Saudi Arabia

November 29, 2020 Leave a comment MLA, Political science

I want to write a paper for my master thesis
I am Saudi, so please take it in consideration and try to be objective
Please provide it with official sources “Books, Researches, etc”
Do not use hard English
The aim of the research is to define the type of the liberal relation, is it political, economic, strategically, .etc?
Here is the Abstract
The Relation between United States of America and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a historical relation. The bilateral relation started officially, when King Abdulaziz “the founder of Saudi Arabia” met with the American president “Franklin Roosevelt” on the board of the USS Quincy in the Suez Canal in 1945. Since the beginning, Saudi Arabia depends on the US  in importing weapons and developing defensive systems. On the other hand, Washington used to depends on Riyadh in importing Oil and Chemicals. As the years went on, the relationship got stronger. Saudi Arabia was established in 1932, and the country has been ruled by seven kings. In the same period , United States has been headed up  by 14 different Presidents. Some experts argue that the relations between the two countries driven by economic interests, other argue that it is driven by political interests. The world has changed a lot since the start of the bilateral relationship between Saudi Arabia and United States, so it is not that easy to determine the main driven of this relation. Today, United States of America is the biggest oil producer in the world. As for Saudi Arabia, it is no longer depends only on United States to arm itself. Saudi Arabia imports arms from the US, Russia, China, and other countries, and it has also started to manufacture some weapons locally. Middle East has changed a lot, so it is not that simple to determine the main interest of the alliance.
