please read and respond to the following two chapters by Gyan Pandey, A History of Prejudice: Race, Caste and Difference in India and the United States, Cambridge, 2013:

Introduction
Chapter 2
Both chapters are in Files under ‘Pandey’

In your response try to address the following points: (i) how does Pandey go about comparing two communities that are historically, geographically and ethnically unconnected? (ii) How does Pandey understand and situate the concept of ‘difference’ in relation to these two communities?

Students will evaluate the construct validity for the article “Effectiveness of solution focused therapy for affective and relationship problems in a private practice context.” This article is included here.  The paper should be in Times New Roman, 12 point font and adhere to APA 6th Ed. guidelines. No abstract is needed. The paper should be 2pages

Internal validity (IV) is associated with the cause and effect statements researchers make. IV is the main aspect of the methods researchers use in a study. Internal Validity is concerned about making cause and effect claims based on the research design of a study. Hopefully, the design will eliminate revival hypotheses. Intimately related to the amount of experimental control: (1) Random selection of participants, (2) Random assignment to groups control and experimental, (3) Manipulation and measurement of variables, and (4) Timing of measurements.
There are three main types of designs research. They are: (1) One shot pretest/posttest designs, (2) non-equal groups, and (3) equal groups designs. Remember that non-equal and equal groups are different based on random selection. Researchers specify which participants are in the treatment and control (no treatment) groups in non-equal designs. Random selection is used in equal designs.

      Step 1: Identify the causal statements
      To determine the threats to internal validity, one must discern the causal statements made
      Identify the research design that is used to control for alternative explanations
      Step 2: Identify researchers methods of ruling out alternative explanations
      Step 3: Evaluate the causal statements using the 13 threats to internal validity
      History: any event that may effect the participants and offer alternative explanations for the differences between groups
      Maturation: The effects of normal developmental processes that impact the differences observed between pre and posttests
      Testing: Increases or improvements in scores due to familiarity with test, Recall of previous items, Only an issue when giving both a pre and posttest
      Instrumentation: The scoring of the measures used may change systematically, The use of error of measurement, All instruments are vulnerable to this threat
      Statistical regression: Often called regression toward the mean, Outliers often regress toward the mean over the course of observations, Major issues concern critical cutoff scores, i.e. using the clinical level of the DAS to determine level of dysfunction and amount of therapeutic improvement
      Attrition or mortality: This occurs when participants drop out of the study, This may introduce systematic biases in the remaining participants
      Interaction with selection: Participating in the study may interact synergistically with the other threats to internal validity
      Ambiguity regarding direction of causal influence
      Diffusion or imitation of treatments: This occurs when treatment effects are spread inadvertently to the control group, This removes group differences even when there may be significant differences
      Compensatory equalization of treatments: Participants in the control group are provided extra services as a result of their placement in the control group
      Compensatory rivalry by control group participants: Occurs when members of the control group try to beat the members of the treatment group

1. Imagine someone has never heard of John Milton. Tell about him in 8-10 sentences.  Include why he is important to British Literature.

2. After a brief prayer for help from the Holy Spirit, in line 22, Milton gets right to the main issue: Whence the evil and suffering on Earth; how and why did mankind go wrong?

Who are the four principal characters, briefly introduced in lines 23-31?

3. Paraphrase the sentence in lines 29 to 39

4. In 116, Satan vows to wage by force or guile eternal war.  Please summarize Beelzebubs response in l20-150?

5. In 152-186, what plans does Satan propose?

6. List 3 sensory details (along with the relevant sense) for images in 165-172.  {For example, sulphurous hail- sense of touch and of smell}

7. What is Milton suggesting in lines 205-215, especially 208, and do you think hes right about this issue which has divided theologians for 1700 years?

8.Satan is the hero (or at least the protagonist) of this epic, and some have called him heroic.  Milton meant to show what he knew – that evil shouldnt be taken lightly nor its appeal and many disguises underrated.

Is Satan admirable in the closing speech of this section, l. 244-258?

9. What does Satan mean by, The mind/Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven?

10. How does the remark reflect his inner conflict and anguish?

Instructions: Your responses should demonstrate that you are applying the material from the notes and the readings. Your posts should be between 250-300 words. For full credit, you must demonstrate evidence of knowledge and comprehension from the readings. In this course, it is required that you use APA citation style for in-text citations and any references.

You are required to identify and justify your choice of a company or organisation that will be subject of the case study that forms the second part of the Coursework. This first piece of coursework will lay the foundation for the second, by identifying the company or organisation that you will study in increasing detail as the weeks go by. For this reason the choice of a suitable organisation is a very important. The organisation may be one you have personal knowledge or experience of or an organisation about which you can obtain sufficient information from publicly available source e.g. press articles, business journals or magazines, annual reports, websites etc.

There are two elements that must be covered in Coursework 1:

1.  Reporting on the organisation in which you identify the organisations

name
aims
size (it is for you to decide how this should be measured)
structure or the way it is organised (how you describe this will depend on the type and size of the organisation you choose)
success or failure (you should explain what criteria you are using to judge its success or failure).
2.  An appraisal of how the organisation is affected by the environment in which it  operates.

The coursework is in the format of a PPT presentation with narrative.  There is additional support on How to make a PPT with Narrative video presentation .
