Cultural anthropology: mini ethnography paper | cultural anthropology | Santa Fe College
1) Write your ethnography on a reality show like Jersey Shore, Shahs of Sunset, the Kardashians, Big Brother.ÿ You’ll want to write about the general culture of the people or you could focus more specifically on a social dynamic – language, gender, ethnicity, etc. Are there power differences between the cast? Do people dress a certain way? If so, why? Is the show targeted for a certain gender/class/race demographic? If you choose this option, in the conclusion, you must reflect on whether you think the show is exploitative and what it says about our culture that so many people follow these shows. You’ll probably need to watch several episodes to get a full picture. You don’t need to watch more than a season.
* 6 page paper
* 12 point font, Times New Roman, 1″ margins
* At least 2 peer reviewed sources (instructions in announcements)ÿ
ÿ 1. 6 pages double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point font, 1-inch margins, page numbers on the bottom right of each page.
References Cited page that is not included in the page limit.
At least 2 peer reviewed academic references in your review of the literature.
Peer reviewed academic references are found through the Santa Fe Library database. Websites like NASA or National Geographic do not count. Ask a librarian if you don?t know what a peer reviewed scholarly article is or if you need help finding one.
Your paper must have a strong and clear thesis statement (your main argument). Your thesis should drive your entire paper. You will need to complete your research and data analysis before you begin your paper because that is the only way to establish your thesis. You cannot start writing your paper before knowing the main argument you are trying to make. The thesis could be that countries have different success rates with the coronaviruses because they have safer culturally informed practices. Or, it could be that women of the Real Housewives of Orange County are deliberately mean to each other to garner attention.ÿ
You must give your paper a catchy, creative title, as if it were an ethnographic book. ?A Mini-ethnography on the Santa Fe Baseball Team? does not draw the reader in as much as ?Homeruns to Havana: An ethnography of Cuban American culture among Santa Fe College baseball players?. Have fun with the title.
A word of caution: I will submit each of your papers to Turnitin to check for plagiarism. All un-cited scholarship will be considered plagiarism and you will earn you a zero on the assignment.
Please note that you will not be able to complete this assignment the night before it?s due. Ethnography is a lot of work. You need a great deal of observational, interview or survey data to make an insightful analysis. In other words, you can?t slack on this paper and hope that I don?t notice. I am an ethnographer. I will notice.

GCU Issue of Abortion Discussion
********please respond to the discussion question below add citations and references ;)******I have a strong belief that every person is naturally good-hearted and willing to love and care for others. It is upbringing that may alter this thinking. Every single person has a value and can contribute to society. This can be made difficult based on how a person is raised, and the circumstances in which they must live their life. Choices must be made every day. As children, we cannot help the environment in which we are raised. While a person may be naturally good-hearted and loving, if they are brought up in a harsh or cruel environment, they may begin to have a more negative outlook on life and others around them.According to Kirsten (2018), the main issue that comes about with abortions is the question of whether or not the fetus should be considered a person, and at which point do we consider the fetus a person. I do not feel that it is my place to tell another person that they should not have an abortion. Every situation is different. I cannot imagine the horrors that a woman must face if they are raped and then forced to have a child that they cannot care for. I do not believe that it should be a regular form of birth control, however. I have known persons in my experience that regularly get abortions instead of taking birth control. I do not feel that this is right either, however, who am I to judge. As a nurse, it is my duty to care for patients in a compassionate way, and I will do that, no matter my beliefs on their decisions as far as treatment. I can, however, educate the patient about birth control, which may be more cost-effective and less damaging to the body.Designer babies are another subject in which I feel that it is not my place to judge. Is it something that I would do? Probably not. However, can you imagine being able to eliminate the potential for disability or genetic disease for your child? Everyone wants what is best for their children, so it is no surprise that people would want to choose what they believe to be the best life for their children.Meilaender (2013) points out that we should always consider bioethics in our patient care and ?to ignore it is to ignore the just claims of others upon our attention and our care? (p. 2). While I do not choose to share my own beliefs with my patients, it is something to always take into consideration for sure. These issues are controversial, yes. However, my job as a nurse is not to pass judgement on these issues. I must provide compassionate care. I must make sure that my patients are receiving the best care possible, and to make sure that their needs are being met.References:Kirsten, J. (2018).

How to Use Internet Discussion
Reply:What security tips that you learned in this course will be the most useful for your future computer related activities? Why are these tips useful for you?I learned a lot in the past 8 weeks taking this course! I am super happy I took it and glad to learn a lot more about the safety of my computer and using social media. When I was younger I was very careless when it came to computer and didn’t pay a lot of attention to things like viruses and spam because I didn’t realize the harm they could do. I was also a lot more careless when it came to my social media sites as well, accepting anyone and putting my information out there. This class taught me a whole lot more on the dangers of putting a lot of information on the internet and not taking precautions when it came to my security and privacy. I think that’s one of the biggest tips I learned, was to always be paying attention and to make sure to check my security and privacy settings to make sure I am protecting myself from any potential harm. Back when I had Myspace you would find probably all my personal information on display because I didn’t realize how dangerous that could be. Now that I am older and wiser I make sure to try and keep all my social media sites private and display as little information as possible. I have spent many days going over many of my social media sites, looking over the different privacy and security settings and getting them where I wanna be. I also learned the importance of taking better care of my computer and making sure my software is up to date and that it is protected. In the past I would have never really cared much and been downloading tons of things and never updating anything. I think everything I learned in this class was very important and useful information that I can take with me always and I also think it is something everyone should be aware of. Learning about viruses and how they can affect your computer or anyone else’s is a big deal and I think everyone, especially those that work places where they have a lot of others information should be fully trained on how to handle a situation where their computer was attacked. Cyber attacks are becoming more and more popular, and I think it’s because so may people are so relaxed when it comes to the internet social media and they aren’t aware just how easily it could happen to them. I think many of us live with the mentality that “oh it won’t happen to me” and that’s not good. If more people took classes like this and learned more about the dangers out there and how they could protect themselves more we would be in better shape.

*Unit 2 DB: Supply and Demand (ECO201 Macroeconomics)
This discussion board addresses the interaction among price, demand, and supply in how global markets work. H&M Brand and others face a backlash from China, a major cotton supplier after expressed concern over the alleged use of forced labor in cotton production.
Review the following article:
Please address in a presentation format with an accompanying graph of how the market for H&M Company cotton clothing is impacted by this change in supply. Only 5.2% of H&M sales are in China. It is most important to explain the underlying reasons, the impact of cost, price, and supply and demand changes if any. Your focus is on the market for H&M clothing.
Include an accompanying graph for each of the three situations showing demand, price, and supply before and after the change effected by China.ÿ
1. China tells H&M that it will not be able to make a profit on sales into China if they don?t buy all their cotton from the Xinjaing Region.
2. South Carolina, an alternative source of cotton, has a bumper crop of cotton that exceeds the supply from Xinjaing but is much more expensive.
3. A synthetic material is developed that is identical to cotton in every way except that the cost is considerably less.
Each original post should include an explanation for each with three diagrams to emphasize the impact on the market for H&M apparel. Your graph should show three variables at two points in time, before and after the action by China.

*Unit 2 DB: State Regulation vs. Federal Regulation (FIN401_30_Insurance & Risk Management)
After the financial crisis of 2008, many states began to review their regulatory framework with respect to domestic and foreign insurance companies that operate within each state’s border. The main goal of this review was to ensure proper oversight of insurers to prevent a catastrophic liquidity crisis in the overall insurance marketplace. Review the videos discussing the attempts at regulating the financial sector after the credit crisis of 2008. Then think about the main objectives of states for regulating the insurance industry.ÿ
Discuss the impact of state regulation on the insurance marketplace. Describe any similarities with the attempts by the federal government to regulate the financial sector after the 2008 financial crisis. Defend whether states should continue to be the primary regulators of insurance or if such regulation should be a federal matter. ÿ

Project Legal Ethical Scenarios South University-Savannah Project: Legal & Ethical Scenarios
Legal and Ethical ScenariosSelect two of the scenarios provided below. Analyze the facts in the scenarios and develop appropriate arguments/resolutions and recommendations. Support your responses with appropriate cases, laws and other relevant examples by using at least one scholarly source from the SUO Library in addition to your textbook for each scenario. Do not copy the scenarios into the paper. Cite your sources in APA format on a separate page. Submit the paper to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.Scenario I: Courts and Alternative Dispute ResolutionAlana Mendes suffered from Alzheimer?s, and was admitted to the Bay Pines Rehabilitation Center. Because of her mental condition, Alana?s daughter, Juanita, completed the admissions paperwork and signed the admissions agreement. The admissions documents included a clause that required parties to submit any disputes for arbitration. When Alana was released from the center four months later, she sued for negligent treatment and malpractice during her stay. Bay Pines moved to require arbitration.Scenario II: Due Process and ADRIn 2016, a report found extremely high rates of obvious plagiarism in the theses of graduate students in the MBA program in the College of Business at Western State University. Two full-time faculty members and three adjuncts were identified for ignoring their ethical responsibilities and contributing to negligence toward issues of academic misconduct. Assistant Professor Mark Day was one of the five professors identified in the report. The findings were published during a press conference in May 2016. The dean of the College of Business, Derrick Dawson, removed Day’s responsibilities for advising graduate students and scheduled him for undergraduate courses for the next semester. Day filed suit in a federal district court against Dawson, the university, and others for violating his due process rights by publicizing accusations about his role in plagiarism without providing him with a meaningful opportunity to clear his name in public.Scenario III: Regulatory Agencies and EthicsJessica Smith is the vice president of new drug development at Generic Phama, Inc, a pharmaceutical research company in Boston, Massachusetts. One year ago, she filed an application with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to obtain approval of a new drug for treating cancer. Smith met Joe Spencer at a convention three months ago and invited him to her room at the hotel. The two parted ways. Spencer worked as the director for approval of new drugs at the FDA. Two weeks later, Spencer wrote Smith a letter on FDA letterhead stating, ?It was nice to see your name cross my desk on our company?s application for approval of the new cancer drug. I?d really like to see you again. Why don?t you come visit me in Washington this weekend??Smith considered requesting that the petition be referred to another director at the FDA. However, she is concerned that the transfer would delay the approval process for at least a year. Smith?s chief scientist advised her that a key competitor plans to introduce a similar drug on the market in three months.

(1a) Explain 3 similarities shared by all 4 giant planets.(2 pts.) (1b) Explain 3 ways in which Uranus and Neptune differ from Jupiter and Saturn. (2) Jupiter’s Great Red Spot The GRS rotates completely in six days.(3 pts.) (2a) If the spot is circular (not quite true, but a reasonable approximation for this matter) and 16,300 km in diameter, what are the wind speeds at the outer edges of the storm? Give you answer in km/hr. (Hints: Speed = distanceötime. How far does does a cloud on the edge of the spot move in one rotation? )(1 pt.) (2b) How do these speeds compare with winds in terrestrial hurricanes where wind speeds can be 120 mph = 200 km/hr?(3) Convince me! (4 pts.) We know that Saturn has a density less than that of water – so the planet would float in a giant bath tub. If you tell your friends that a planet could float, they are likely to laugh at you. Describe HOW we know the density of Saturn is less than that of water by observing it from here on Earth – what quantities have been measured (units?)? Which formula (or formulae) is (are) used?(4) Layers upon layers. (3 pts.) Jupiter have several distinct layers of clouds. Why are these clouds separated into several distinct layers, so that clouds composed of a highly volatile gas such as ammonia found higher in the atmosphere than water? (5) Colors. (3 pts.) (5a) What gives Jupiter and Saturn their yellow/red colors?(1 pts.) (5b) Describe the physical process(es) that make Uranus and Neptune look bluish.(6) Receiving Signals from Jupiter.(3 pts.) The distance from the Earth to Jupiter varies as the two planets orbit the Sun. Suppose we measure the distance to Jupiter and find that it is at a distance of 4.6 AU from the Earth,. How much time will it take for radio signals from a probe orbiting Jupiter to travel through space to reach us? Give your answer in minutes.(7) Changes. (2 pts.) Why does Uranus’ atmosphere show strong variations over the course of its orbit, Neptune and Saturn have moderate changes while Jupiter’s atmosphere appears pretty much the same, year in and year out? Please discuss each of these four planets by name in your response.(8) The Solar System(6 pts.) (8 a) In another solar system, we discover two terrestrial planets both with atmospheres made of 99% carbon dioxide. However, one planet has ten times more atmosphere than the other. Propose three hypotheses to explain why they would differ so much in their quantities of atmosphere.(4 pts.) (8 b) Our solar system contains 4 terrestrial planets and 4 jovian planets. Suppose we discover another solar system with 8 terrestrial planets and no jovian planets. Propose a hypothesis to explain why the formation of that solar system would have turned out so differently from our own.(4 pts.) (8 c) Why would astronomers be surprised to discover an active volcano on an asteroid?

Discussion1:Moral Decision-MakingThere are many different moral theories, each of which provides a different way of analyzing the moral dilemmas we face in our lives. These moral theories provide a systematic framework for making reasoned moral decisions.This week, you will write about a time in which you had to make a difficult moral decision. Discussion 2: Is the U.S. Population Unhealthy?Health-related behavior represents a prime target for improving the nation?s health. Today?s leading cases of disease and death are preventable chronic diseases (heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and asthma), and behavioral risk factors play a critical role in their development and management. Obesity is common, serious and costly problem in the U.S. Obesity affected about 93.3 million of US adults in 2015~2016. Fast food consumption has been linked to higher caloric intake and greater risk for obesity. As an increasing number of consumers are dining at fast food restaurants, policy makers are turning their attention to environmental and policy approaches that influence consumer choice, including mandated calorie menu labels in fast food restaurants. The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act included a provision requiring restaurants with more than 20 locations nationwide to post calorie information at the point of purchase.Watch the following video: Supersize meExplore the effectiveness of healthy living education.Include each of the following aspects in the discussion:Discussion 3:Surgical Package and Global PeriodImagine you are interning at a busy general surgeon?s office.

Benchmark – non-christian symbols | Accounting homework help
Matthew 28:18-20 says: “Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.’”
In response to this call, Christian churches send missionaries to other cultures to spread the gospel, plant churches, and disciple people in those cultures. In this process, missionaries communicate important rituals and symbols of the Christian faith as well as learn about non-Judeo-Christian religious symbols from the cultures they are evangelizing. As a result, it?s important to understand the meaning of these religious symbols when conveying the gospel message and forming discipleship relationships.
For this assignment, you will research the symbols or rituals of a non-Judeo-Christian religious organization or culture. The terms ?symbol? and ?ritual? may be interpreted variously; the focus should be on verbal and nonverbal choices used to convey religious meaning. As long as you cover this in principle, there is flexibility about what particular symbolic or ritualized communication pattern you choose.
Then, in 750-1000 words, compare the symbols or rituals they use with those of mainstream Christianity. How are the two sets of symbols or rituals similar? What makes them different? How could someone apply this knowledge to accurately convey the gospel, aid missionaries in teaching other cultures to obey all that Christ has commanded, and avoid theological misunderstandings that may be expressed in that cultures symbols or rituals?
In addition to your textbook, you should use two to three reputable and authoritative sources.
Prepare this assignment according to theÿguidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
