Need help with a reply post.
I just need a 120 words reply post. The topic was You must answer one question below. Please use the text to support your position.I need a reply for this post:State capitalism is the idea that the government should regulate the economy by controlling shares from major corporations. China and Russia are two leading examples of state capitalism. China has control of corporations such as Huawei, which they are able to grant loans to and foster innovation at a rapid pace (pg. 1). China’s government is communistic but its public sector is capitalistic, which has helped it propel millions out of poverty in the past few decades. Russia’s history of socialism and approach to state capitalism is like a giant machine. There is no competition in the state owned corporations, with growth rapidly plateauing and becoming unsustainable. In my opinion, I believe that the Chinese approach to state capitalism would be more prosperous. China has taken millions out of poverty, all while propelling their companies to the forefront of the public sector. While other countries were in an economic crisis from 2008-10, China has proven that it could grow even within these times. State capitalism is still flawed however. The government could give or take loans, businesses, ideas, and more. Entrepreneurs could lose their wealth overnight. In our times, we are seeing more and more entrepreneurs moving their assets to foreign countries and fleeing their own.
SJSU Art Essay
For 20 points, you will provide a thorough narrative answer (not an essay) to the following: “Jim Crow is a legal and extralegal system of segregation and domination in the US South in effect from the end of slavery through the Civil Rights era. (Extralegal means that it is also “beyond the authority of the law; not regulated by the law.”) Using our course materials only, give examples of both its legal and extralegal aspects.”For 40 points, you will write a 1000-1500 word essay in which you compare the theme of travel and the kinds of travelers in Jack Kerouac’s On the Road with Richard Wright’s Uncle Tom’s Children, namely in “The Ethics of Living Jim Crow” and “Down by the Riverside.” Does everyone have equal access to travel in the US in the 1930s and 1940s? Be specific and include details about the social context, e.g. post-WWII U.S. society, Jim Crow, lynching, the US highway system, the ubiquity of the automobile in U.S. culture, the uses of trains, rivers, etc. Consider the Introduction by Yarborough and his use of the word, “flight,” for example. Consider the Underground Railroad and Black hoboes. Don’t be afraid to think big and in interconnected ways–but you must provide specific evidence with citations from our course materials (do not seek additional materials for your response). In addition to citing sociological information from sources like history.com, you MUST cite at least 4-6 times from both Wright and Kerouac
UDC Python Program Project
A local small business has hired you to write a payroll calculation program. The program only needs to calculate gross pay for an employee and display the results. Your program will accept the employee?s name, hours worked, and the employee?s pay rate. The program will need to calculate overtime as well. Overtime is defined as anything over 40 hours is paid at 1.5 times the regular pay. The program should print the employee?s name, the gross pay amount, and only if there was overtime, print the overtime pay amount as well. Finally, the program should repeat as necessary until the user enters a sentinel value.For this project: Tips: Remember to keep track of input data types when comparing values. input() formats the user?s data as a string, so comparing string data to a number without quotes would produce an error.Do not worry about security, it is irrelevant here. Just focus on the functionality discussed above.Remember to follow the guidelines of good program design. Make sure to use meaningful variable names, include comments as needed, and provide thoughtful output.Example output:C:>python week2.pyABC Inc., Gross Pay Calculator!Enter employee’s name or 0 to quit: NathanEnter hours worked: 35Enter employee’s pay rate: 10.00Employee Name: NathanGross Pay: 350.0Enter next employee’s name or 0 to quit: TobyEnter hours worked: 45Enter employee’s pay rate: 10Employee Name: TobyGross Pay: 475.0(overtime pay: 75.0 )Enter next employee’s name or 0 to quit: 0Exiting program…

Experiences with Viruses in The Past Discussion
reply to discussion post below:I have had bad experiences with viruses in the past.It?s mainly because I used to be lazy and if I got a pop up on the screen to update my machine I would keep clicking not now, which eventually caused my computer to get a lot more viruses when all I had to do was check it the first time I got a notification.I realized I was getting spam because I was not paying attention to what websites I was pulling up or clicking on. Even one accidental click can give you a virus on your computer, it is sad that that is how easy it is.Working at a defense contractor you have to be very careful what websites you?re on and what emails you open. Sometimes they will send ?fake ?suspicious emails to see who actually pulls them up. We took a training when we first started that showed emails like the one they sent and to be aware that it is spam and we should not open it. I accidently opened two ?fake emails? when I started and within a few days had a virus on my computer. I now have Norton security on my home computer and I?m not sure what my company uses. The recommendation I would give is to keep up to date on all your security software and be aware of what emails you open and what websites you click on. By doing so it should minimalize your chances of getting a virus.
Working with A Male or Female Supervisor Discussion
Q. During the course of your employment you may have experienced working for both a male and female supervisor. Discuss from your personal point of view the advantages/disadvantages and like/dislike of working for each gender. Use real life experiences if applicable.The traits that describe leaders with are subjective terms, it can be problematic to unpack whether the leadership traits are genuinely predominant in one gender or the other or whether they are easier to see because they are expected (Gartenstein, 2019).Some of my personal point of view on the pros and cons of male and female bosses are:Female supervisor pros Female supervisor cons Male supervisor pros Male supervisor consBy no means, I am saying all females are insecure and likes to gossip or males are not sensitive enough. These are just some of the traits I had noticed in my previous experiences and may be it had lot to do with my own personal biases. Therefore, these traits do not define or represent any gender.According to Pew research center, the public sees little distinction between men and women on several of the leadership traits. Large majorities say that when it comes to intelligence and innovation, men and women display those qualities equally and see no gender differences in ambition, honesty and decisiveness (Women and leadership, 2015).
Brain Disease
Final Paper: Brain Disease At the beginning of this week, you were introduced to the idea of mental illness as a disease rather than a set of symptoms or behavior. Physiological psychology forms the basis for this paradigm shift. A better understanding of mental illness and its associated symptoms/behavior will result from the combination of both a psychological and biological model of study.For your final project, choose a mental illness to research from both a biological and a psychological standpoint. Look at causes of the mental illness (both biological and environmental), brain structures affected by the illness, hormonal differences in the nervous system, neural pathways affected, etc. You will also need to include a section on treatment options and the specific physiological effects of the chosen treatment method on the nervous system.In conclusion of your assignment, include a paragraph on the importance of using a combination of physiology and psychology in understanding the illness you chose. What insight would be missing without one perspective or the other (physiology or psychology)? You will need to include in-text citations from at least four different resources. Your assignment should also include an introduction, body and conclusion with a reference page listing the resources you cited. Include at least one paragraph for each of the following sections:Should you have any questions regarding this assignment, direct them to your course facilitator.Document TypeMS WordPaper Size8.5 X 11″Length4-5 pagesMarginsTimes or Times New Roman, 12 pt.Line SpacingDouble.

Disccusion post: graphing and describing data in everyday life
Suppose that you have two sets of data to work with. The first set is a list of all the injuries that were seen in a clinic in a month’s time. The second set contains data on the number of minutes that each patient spent in the waiting room of a doctor’s office. You can make assumptions about other information or variables that are included in each data set.
For each data set, propose your idea of how best to represent the key information. To organize your data would you choose to use a frequency table, a cumulative frequency table, or a relative frequency table? Why?
What type of graph would you use to display the organized data from each frequency distribution? What would be shown on each of the axes for each graph?
In a separate paragraph consider how different distributions might affect the different graphs. How might other variables affect the graphs? How could graphs be made to be biased? If a graph were biased, how might you change it to guard against that bias?
Minimum of 1 scholarly source AND one appropriate resource such as the textbook, math video and/or math website
In your reference for this assignment, be sure to include both your text/class materials AND your outside reading(s).
