in what ways were the roles of African American men significantly different from the roles of African American women before the Civil War?

WPA American Slave Narratives Assignment – Prompt and Guidelines

In the 1930’s, different historians, folklorists, and others as a part of the Works Progress Administration, made a point to interview the aging population of black Americans who were alive before the Civil War and remembered slavery. They collected more than 2,300 narratives and memoirs called the WPA American Slave Narratives. They are available in their entirety on the Library of Congress’s website. I am providing you with 11 selections of men and women telling their stories about life before the Civil War. These selections can be found on the main Moodle course page titled “WPA Narrative” under this assignment.

Your assignment is to write a 3 page essay examining the narratives I have provided answering this question: in what ways were the roles of African American men significantly different from the roles of African American women before the Civil War?

There are many ways to approach this essay, but my recommendation is to approach the topic thematically. Pick 2-3 themes, like family, work, or health, etc., create an argument and use the sources to support your argument.

Students will be evaluated on their thesis, their ability to use the sources to support their thesis, their overall comprehensive approach to the topic, as well as their clarity of writing.

Explain how attachment theory defines and explains the cause of the problem.
  • Review the same case study you selected from last week’s Assignment. 
  • Use the Analysis of a Theory Worksheet to help you dissect the theory. Use this tool to dissect the theory and employ the information in the table to complete your Assignment.
  • Review attachment theory and the following article listed in the Learning Resources: Foley, M., Nash, M., & Munford, R. (2009). Bringing practice into theory: Reflective practice and attachment theory. Aotearoa New Zealand Social Work Review, 21(1–2), 39–47. https://doi.org/10.11157/anzswj-vol21iss1-2id318

 Write the assumptions of attachment theory.Identify the problem in your chosen case study to be worked on from an attachment theory perspective.Explain how attachment theory defines and explains the cause of the problem.Develop two assessment questions that are guided by attachment theory that you would ask the client to understand how the stress or distress, bond, and/or environment is affecting the client.Identify two interventions to address the problem. Remember, the theory should be driving the interventions. In other words, you would not identify systematic desensitization since this is not an intervention guided by attachment theory.Write one self-reflective question that is influenced by attachment theory that you can ask yourself to gain greater empathy for what the client is experiencing.

Incorporate the following into your responses in the template:

Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence, listed in order from highest priority to lowest priority. Compare the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for each differential diagnosis and explain what DSM-5-TR criteria rules out the differential diagnosis to find an accurate diagnosis. Explain the critical-thinking process that led you to the primary diagnosis you selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent negatives for the specific patient case.
  • Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this client if you could conduct the session over? Also include in your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations (demonstrate critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for treatment!), health promotion and disease prevention taking into consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).

What are three different legal ways that a fire investigator can enter a scene to collect evidence?

Overview:

One of the goals of using proper systematic methodology when examining a fire scene is to allow it to hold up to scrutiny during any judicial proceedings. Precedent setting court cases set the example for what is considered “proper” conduct. One of the landmark cases in the field of Fire Investigation is “Michigan v Tyler” which was decided in 1978.

Instructions:

 Read the supreme court case, Michigan v. Tyler, in the Readings and Resources section.  Discuss:

o This case is testing the limits of constitutional rights under the fourth amendment. What is

the fourth amendment and, in this case, how does it apply to the fire investigator? o What are three different legal ways that a fire investigator can enter a scene to collect

evidence? Provide examples of each. o Do you feel the initial entry into the scene after the fire was legal and appropriate? What

about the return the next morning? o Imagine you could go back in time and work with Chief See and Detective Webb on this

investigation. As a group, what would you recommend you do differently?

Requirements:

 Minimum three pages in length, excluding the Title and Reference page.  APA format, including an in-text citation for referenced works.  At least two resources.

Be sure to read the criteria by which your work will be evaluated before you write and again after you write.

Fire Investigation

and the Judiciary

discuss who benefits from the technology the most and who benefits from it the least and offer some reasons why this is the case.  

In this paper, you will write a 1000-1250 word narrative that communicates your assessment of your technology’s impacts, biases, and political properties.  

Your paper should do the following: 

1. Introduce your technology by describing its intended use, its location, and its creators and their demographics.  

2. Answer the question, “What invisible biases, values or norms may have been introduced into the design, planning or intended use of this artifact by the creators or planners, and how can you determine this?” 

3. Based on your observations of interactions between people and this technology, and the context of the technology (physical or digital), discuss who benefits from the technology the most and who benefits from it the least and offer some reasons why this is the case.  

4. Review pages 252-256 Winner’s article, “Do Artifacts Have Politics,” from Week 3 and suggest how the technology you have chosen can create a certain types of social order in our world by including and benefiting some people while excluding others. Or, you could talk about how the artifact emphasizes some values and norms over others in its actual design as well, basing your observations on Brey’s ideas from “Disclosive Computer Ethics” in Week 4, even if the technology is not digital. You can include any sociological, anthropological studies that have been done on the technology or lawsuits that have been filed etc. as part of your research as well. 

· F or example, driver side safety air bags and car seats are often designed for the average height and weight of men, thus protecting them better in crashes, and even injuring women as many experience pelvic fractures from the impact of airbags. A technology that is not designed to equally protect people of all sizes may be an ethical issue.  

5. Have a concluding paragraph that sums up the conclusions you have drawn about your technology in the process of doing this project.  

6. Support and explain your points with observed evidence and any research you have done. Also, be sure to use the Required Learning Materials from weeks 3-4 to help you.  

7. Make sure to provide in-text citations for any paraphrases, summaries and quotes in MLA format and provide references for all sources in MLA format. In general, avoid long quotes from your resources (more than 3 lines) and make sure to use all of your resources in your paper.
