List four common quantitative research designs and propose a research question in your area of interest that aligns with each design.
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.

Evaluate the level of compliance with the applicable privacy law or laws. Explain how the organizations approach to the principle meets, exceeds, or does not meet the requirements set forth in the law or laws.
Analysis of Privacy Laws and Business Implications
Overview
In Project One, you will take on the role of a stakeholder in a business on the forefront of a privacy issue. In that project, you will articulate a point of view that reflects your professional stance on privacy, the laws and regulations relevant to the issue, and the business implications of your recommendation. For this milestone, you will begin to investigate two of the key facets that will factor into your position: regulations and business implications.
Scenario
Your instructor will provide a scenario. This scenario will contain the following information:
Background about an organization, including draft versions of the organizations privacy statement
General market analysis
The specific proposal being addressed in the projects for this course
Based on this information, you will contrast requirements driven by internal policy with those governed by external, legal regulations. Additionally, you will be assessing how ethics and business goals influence the approach to privacy.
Prompt
To complete this assignment, first download the Project One Milestone Template from the Project One Milestone assignment in Module Three of your course. In the template, complete the requirements table for Section I, and answer the short-response questions for Section II. Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below.
Analysis of Requirements
The documentation included with the scenario contains a draft version of the organizations privacy statement based on fair information practice principles. Complete the requirements table in the template by selecting three of the principles addressed in the privacy statement. (Note that in Project One, you may elect to discuss additional or alternative principles and privacy laws than those you select for this assignment.) For each selected principle, address the following:
Explain how at least one privacy law is associated with the principle.
Evaluate the level of compliance with the applicable privacy law or laws. Explain how the organizations approach to the principle meets, exceeds, or does not meet the requirements set forth in the law or laws.
Describe at least one safeguard that should be in place to ensure compliance with the principle or law.
Business Implications
The scenario includes background information on the organization and general market analysis related to the proposal. As you are an executive-level employee, there is an expectation that your advice to leadership will be guided by the companys mission statement and values, the profitability and market success of its products, and your expertise in your field. In Project One, your recommendation will need to balance all of these factors; however, for this assignment, you will focus only on the business aspects.
Discuss the role of ethics as a business driver in this decision. How do the organizational values (as an ethical stance) align to the decision? What responsibility does the organization have pertaining to privacy?
Discuss how your personal ethical stance aligns to the decision. How did you apply an ethical framework or decision strategy to inform your position?
What would you recommend the company do? Describe how you came to this decision. How did you balance differences between the organizational ethics and your own personal ethics?

Cognitive development between the ages of 7 and 11 is impressive, beginning with improvements in control processes, and increase in processing speed and capacity, and a growing foundation of knowledge. This chapter in our book discusses the views of Piaget and Vygotsky regarding the childs cognitive development, which involves a growing ability to use logic and reasoning (as emphasized by Piaget) and to benefit from social interactions with skilled mentors (as emphasized by Vygotsky).Which main theory of cognitive development (Piaget, Vygotsky, Information Processing, etc) stands out the most to you? Why?
PART 1
Purpose
Demonstrate how to express your emotions appropriately and effectively.
Recall importance of emotional intelligence in the workplace (see page 228 in textbook)
INSTRUCTIONS
Communicating for success is vital for success in the workplace. This discussion is about emotional intelligence and the positive effects at work.
As you studied the chapter on emotions, it is important to manage emotions according to role expectations and social norms (page 235 in textbook).
The goal is to create positive emotions (see page 254 in textbook) that create positive feelings when interacting with coworkers and customers alike. Additionally, include aspects of expressing emotions effectively as discussed on pages 238-242 of textbook.
Only use textbook and personal examples for this assignment.
For this discussion, the “student must post before seeing replies” has been activated, which means that you must contribute your idea before you can see what other have posted.
Make sure to post full entry for first posting to get potentially full credit.
Contribute your initial post to our discussion by Thursday, 11:59 p.m. In your post please include the following:
What would be your part in contributing to a positive work environment with your coworkers? If you do not have work experience, discuss positive emotions you experienced that you might have had participating on a sports team or in a volunteer capacity such as a fundraising event.
What nonverbal messages (body movements, tone of voice, eye contact, smiling) can you send that would create an enriching emotional environment. Ultimately, what strategies would you use to create your dream job?”
Remember, arguably we all might have had in some way or another unsatisfactory experiences in the workplace but the focus in this discussion is on creating and maintaining a positive and polite work environment.

Cognitive development between the ages of 7 and 11 is impressive, beginning with improvements in control processes, and increase in processing speed and capacity, and a growing foundation of knowledge. This chapter in our book discusses the views of Piaget and Vygotsky regarding the childs cognitive development, which involves a growing ability to use logic and reasoning (as emphasized by Piaget) and to benefit from social interactions with skilled mentors (as emphasized by Vygotsky).Which main theory of cognitive development (Piaget, Vygotsky, Information Processing, etc) stands out the most to you? Why? According to Piaget, school-age children are much better able than preschoolers to understand logical principles, provided the principles are applied to concrete examples. Because the school years are also a time of expanding moral reasoning, this chapter also looked at Kohlbergs stage theory of moral development as well as current evaluations of his theory.
Additionally this chapter explores the information-processing perspective on cognitive development, beginning with the Gibsons concept of affordances. It then discusses changes in the childs processing speed and capacity, control processes, knowledge base, and metacognition. Linguistic development during the school years is also extensive, with children showing improvement in vocabulary and pragmatics. This is clearly indicated by their newfound delight in words and their growing sophistication at telling jokes. If you have ever spent time in a second grade classroom you can immediately tell what stage the children are in by who is telling and who is getting the jokes. Jokes become very funny to children at this age because of their newfound ability to hold 2 or more concepts in their head at the same time allowing them to fully understand the humor in the jokes they are telling and hearing.
Several days before the deadline, please post your response to one of the following (not all three):
Which main theory of cognitive development (Piaget, Vygotsky, Information Processing, etc) stands out the most to you? Why?
Which theory of language development (social learning, assimilation and accomidation, or operant conditioning) stands out the most to you? Why?
Share a personal experience (first hand or someone you know, respecting confidentiality) with learning disabilities and/or special education/inclusion.
Your post should be about 1 paragraphs long and should provide your unique perspective.

What do you think about the removal of Civil War monuments?
1- This is discussion will be on Iconoclasm and Cultural Desecration. Please read the the attachment before starting the writing.
2- Response will send to answer after the tutor send answer of number 1 discussion

Discussion Forum #4:Iconoclasm and Cultural Desecration:
In classes that involve the discussion of art and images, one of the assumptions is that the objects have a great deal of cultural value.This is presumed to be true even if their materials are not valuable, and even if their original function was not as a work of art, but as a devotional one.Clearly, images can have a great deal of power over viewers, and can spark highly emotional reactions.Architecture can be included in this category also, as the built environment and space are culturally and religiously important.
This assignment is rather topical, thus I want to put some current and past events involving iconoclasm, (lit. the smashing of images), into context, and have you think about and discuss them.I briefly covered in class the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas in 2001 by the Taliban. More recent issues cover the destruction of Islamic tombs and Assyrian monuments by ISIS, and the removal of Civil War monuments in the United States.Please read the following materials, and comment on the ones that you find most interesting.Please be respectful, as this is difficult material and I do not wish for anyone to feel attacked or offended.
Things to think about for yourself: Do you come from a cultural background in which images are used for worship and if so, in what ways does incorporating images into worship assist your spiritual experience?
Do you come from a cultural background in which images are not used or are proscribed for worship and if not, is there anything (buildings/space, text, liturgy etc.,that assists your spiritual experience?
Issues to Comment On:
What did you find interesting or noteworthy in these readings? How do past cross-cultural examples of iconoclasm and cultural desecration relate to current events?
What causes people to destroy images?Is it ever justified?
Reading:
1. Read the Wikipedia article on iconoclasm and note that iconoclasm has been practiced by many religions or cultures throughout history, often as a means to wield power and sometimes as a result of deeply held cultural beliefs.
This article on iconoclasm is very interesting and will provide important cross-cultural background:
