Answer number as indicated. Each question must be answered in 5-6 paragraphs. Each paragraph must be 5-10 sentences each. No plagiarism. Uses sources below for help. Do not cite powerpoints,

1.  Compare the frescoes of the Knossos palace to those found in the West Building at Akrotiri on Thera.  Do their subjects indicate differing ways of life by those inhabiting these buildings?  Do their color palates differ, and if so do these differences imply different levels of wealth?  Feel free to make any other comparisons you believe are appropriate.

2. Compare the approaches of Heinrich Schliemann and Sir Arthur Evans to their excavations.  Do the thirty years between the start of their excavations (1870 for Troy; 1900 for Knossos) bring any changes to Evans management?  Do both men do things no archaeologist would do today?

3. Mysterious scripts called Linear A and Linear B were unearthed on Crete (A) and at Mycenae (B).  Michael Ventris and John Chadwick with the assistance of Alice Kober broke the code of Linear B.  Within the last ten years, several archaeologists have claimed at least partial decoding of Linear A.
    What are the characteristics of each?  Why are there special challenges in decoding Linear A?  Based on your research and on what we have said, do you believe that the decoding of Linear A has been successful?

Be sure to start with a clear thesis of your own and use specific references to the Odyssey to support your thesis.

4. The Acropolis of Athens, the citadel of the city, has mythic and historical connections with the founding of the city datable to at least the tenth-century Mycenaean period.  Select ONE of these mythic associations and relate it to the topographical placement of its buildings and / or paths of access.

You might (but by no means must) consider the Panathenaic procession and the route it traveled to dress the statue of the goddess; OR the contest of Athena and Poseidon for the naming of the city and its location on the citadel; OR one of the variants on the birth of Erechtheus and the placement of the Erechtheum; OR any other you may prefer.

5. Select and discuss one of the buildings or areas of the Agora of Athens and consider its placement.  Does its immediate vicinity have any special relevance, whether practical or historical, to its function?

You might (but by no means must) consider one of the stoai (sing. stoa); OR the tholos; OR the metroon; OR the law courts and empanelment of the dikastes; OR any other building or area which you believe has an important municipal function.

6. The ancient pilgrimage sites we have discussed have common features, not only in their location but in their function(s).  Choose any TWO noting how they compare and differ as well as how such comparisons and differences complement their function(s).

Looking at Robert Waltons letters to his sister Mrs.(See Doc attached) Saville, especially letters 1 and II find the best quote which describes Waltons view of his own education and childhood. Then find a quote that describes the worst part of what he is feeling now in his life on the boat.  Write out each quote.  Then, write a brief paragraph where you explain why you chose the quote you chose and what you think they mean. 

Your answers will be graded on (1) Clarity of argument; (2) Strength and variety of evidence; (3) Organization; (4) Effectiveness of prose; and (5) Originality.

You are expected to draw from readings, lecture materials, and your own thoughts. The course materials are the raw materials for the manufacturing of your own arguments. As with your papers, each of your essays should include a clear and well-organized argument that is supported by evidence from lectures and readings. No need for full citations, but you SHOULD mention particular authors by name. (For example: Huntington argues that or Professor Luceros suggested in lecture that)

1.    What difference does it make if we understand the Cold War as a Global Cold War, as Westad does? In your answer describe what a global approach means to thinking about a conflict that was usually understood in East-West (or Soviet-US) terms?

PART ONE
In no more than 500 words each, define the following terms:

clash of ignorances; totalizing; Shia; neocolonialist

One third of your definition needs to explain the meaning of the term and if possible, who coined the term in what context. The other two thirds should discuss the significance and importance of the term(s).

Length: 2 pages. Use a 12 pt font double spaced with standard 1 inch margins.

PART TWO
A Senator has hired you as a consultant because she was unhappy with her response at a town-hall meeting when a questioner repeatedly challenged her that all Middle Easterners hate us and our freedoms. She has asked for a policy briefing she can use to more effectively respond to these types of construction of the people of the Middle East. Your familiarity with the region and your expertise allow you to address the issues both from scholarly and Middle Eastern perspectives.

In your 3 to 5 page (1500 words MAX) briefing use at least TWO secondary and TWO primary texts from the “Historical text” readings assigned for the class. DO NOT QUOTE EXTENSIVELY FROM THESE TEXTS, rather the policy briefing requires you to synthesize and specify the exact issues/problems. Then how can this issue be addressed from the texts we have read: explain Author A argues xyz and Author B supported/contested these positions arguing abc et cetera. What is the difference in approach on this issue between academic texts and biographical writing we have read. What are the consequences of position abc are versus those of position efg et cetera…

You might compare the historic changes in governance in two countries. You could also write from the experiences of people from the Middle East. You can reference only ONE person from the documentaries or videos used in the course; others have to be from the readings.

Then recommend how specifically the Senator should speak about this topic. Remember, the Senator is comfortable giving long answers but likes to be detailed yet precise. Also remember to provide her with sound bites that she can emphasize to increase press coverage and retention of ideas amongst her listeners.

[One last note, the Senator is also an avid Pink Floyd fanfor extra credit what song would you say speaks to the issue at hand and for extra extra points pick a verse (translated) from music from the Middle East that might be useful to get the points across. ;)]

Length: 3 to 5 pages. Use a 12 pt font double spaced with standard 1 inch margins.

Note: NO outside sources should be used only the sources I have given you.

These are the text required to write the essay. Not all of them should be used. But they are what we discussed in class. The historical texts are used for part 2 where we have to use 2 Primary and 2 Secondary readings. I have uploaded them as (Historical Texts) and separated them as primary and secondary. Here is a list of the names of the all of the readings. I added 2 more secondary reading to the file section, they are not in the list.

Chapter 19: Multisystemic Therapy as a Strengths-Based Model for Working with Multiproblem Families
Chapter 19 discusses multi-problem families using a multisystemic model. A review of Bronfenbrenners ecological model is discussed and applied to multi-problem family systems. The chapter concludes by discussing strengths- and deficits-based models for working with families who experience chronic family problems.

Working with Multi-Problem Families

Chapter 19 of the text reviewed multi-problem families using a multisystemic model.

1.    Chapter 19 discussed different risk factors related to youth problem behavior at different parts of the social structure (Table 19.1). Choose two of these risk factors and provide a summary of each.

2.    Using the TWO risk factors identified above, create a strengths-based intervention or strategy that could be implemented to increase resilience. Provide a brief summary and explanation of each intervention or strategy.

3.    Consider the risk factors you identified above in terms of public policy. Identify one policy recommendation you would make to address these risk factors. Explain your reasoning.

Chapter 18 of your text reviewed social policies that focus on individuals and families across the domains of family formation and family care. It then analyzed family policy through a human rights lens and identified areas of injustice and inequality that families face. Finally, the chapter discussed the lack of access to healthcare that families encounter and addressed how it can impact resilience. Please use your readings and research peer-reviewed journal articles in the Purdue Global Library to support your post.

Please respond to the following:
1.    Identify one social or family policy that directly impacts either family formation or family care, and then discuss this policys impact on family resilience.
