Property ownership offers a path to wealth accumulation. In addition to blocking minorities using illegal tactics such as redlining drove property values down which prevented emerging middle class minority families from accumulating wealth at the same rates as white homeowners. It is also argued that this led to ghettos and other enclaves where poverty became rampant. If we look at what is happening today with continued housing segregation, it has been said that ending residential segregation in the United States is going to require a moral commitment from white America to make different choices about where to live. What is meant by moral commitment, and why is this commitment necessary from white America in order to end segregation? Of the three possible causes of segregation discussed in this chapter (economic factors, personal choice, and housing discrimination), which one do you think is the primary, or most important, cause of segregation today?

Option 1 for chapter 7: The Booker T. vs. W.E.B. Contrasting perspectives on the best role of education for African Americans is one of the most notable historical debates with long running implications on this topic. Compare and contrast Booker T. Washingtons and W.E.B. Du Boiss positions on the role of education in addressing racism and racial inequality in society as you understand it from the reading. From Du Boiss perspective, why was Washington wrong about the issue (consider not only the question of access but also changes in culture, technological needs, etc. that have made vocational training highly coveted)?
Muslims complain that their religion is often portrayed in unjustifiably distorted ways and their religious icons are frequently ridiculed and disrespected under the guise of free speech. This has resulted in numerous violent protests leading to the loss of property and lives. Harris Zafar in Demystifying Islams View of Free Speech takes issue with those who resort to violence and argues in favor of peaceful discourse. However, he also disagrees with the idea of absolute freedom of speech and concludes by claiming that Islams approach to freedom of speech creates a more healthy and peaceful society. Identify and describe three of the arguments that he uses to support his claim. (2-3 paragraphs) After describing his arguments and interpretation of Islamic teachings, write your own views on his claim and supporting arguments. Do you agree or disagree with his claim that Islams approach to freedom of speech creates a more healthy and peaceful society?

Consider, for example, what criteria are used in your discipline to evaluate alignment of research components. And in what way will your future research contribute to your identity as scholar-practitioner who is dedicated to positive social change?
For this Discussion, you will consider criteria for evaluating alignment among the various components of a research study. You will also reflect on your role as a positive social change agent through research.
Post an explanation of the criteria you could use to evaluate alignment between data collection methods and other research components, such as the problem, purpose, research questions, and design. Then, reflecting on the course content, discuss the extent to which your newly acquired research knowledge and skills can support your role as an agent of positive social change. Be specific and provide an example(s).

You have been asked to develop a neighborhood crime control program. Thinking ahead, you develop a strategy for evaluating the program in subsequent months and years. Complete the following tasks.”
2.) Propose a research question for your crime control program. (You may have to do some independent research for examples of neighborhood crime control programs)
Identify the dependent and independent variables from your research question.
3.) Discuss how you would measure your independent and dependent variable.
Explain the following statement. Continuous-level scales are preferred over ordinal-level scales, which, in turn, are preferred over nominal-level scales.
4.) When dealing with abstract phenomenon, or “fuzzy concepts” as discussed in the module lecture, what actions should a researcher take?
5.) A study wishes to measure citizen trust in government through the number of lawsuits filed against the federal government. Evaluate the measurement validity of this approach.
6.) Explain the following concepts and give an example of each: (1) face validity, (2) construct validity, (3) criterion validity, and (4) content validity.
7.) Develop an index variable to measure fear of statistics among students in public and nonprofit management. Then develop an index variable to measure a concept in your area of interest.
8.) For this question use the brief case scenario below to draft an evaluation question. Your evaluation question should follow the expectations of a “good question” as discussed in the learning module AND directly relate to the purpose of the idea expressed in the case scenario.
Brief case scenario: A new study recently published stated students that spend 15 minutes a day reading saw significant increases in reading fluency and vocabulary after 3 months. Intrigued by this study, a teacher decided to put these findings into practice in her classroom through a qui-experimental design. Armed with student test data from the previous year, she decided to keep all her lessons and assessments the same as last year; but she implemented the additional assignment of free reading for 15 minutes per day. Her thoughts are, if the published study is correct, by adding 15 minutes of free reading a day, I should see higher test scores related to fluency and vocabulary with my current students as compared to students from the previous year.
9.) For this question consider the brief case scenario below and describe the program theory.
