which aspects of the essay sound wrong to you? Does the evidence persuade you?

u Exercise #1: Argument and AnalysisThe purpose of this first exercise is to encourage you to practice an open-minded but cautious way of engaging with the claims of other scholars. ? For this exercise you will turn a curious yet skeptical gaze onto one of the essays that you have read for this progression. First, even if you have reservations about the author’s ideas, make sense of her/his argument by explaining it in your own words. What is the writer’s position? What are the essential claims here? What evidence does the author offer for these claims? Next play devil’s advocate: which aspects of the essay sound wrong to you? Does the evidence persuade you? Which assumptions or conclusions strike you as problematic or unreasonable? Manuscript Notes: Your response should be two pages and calls for MLA documentation. Avoid large block quotations and use this exercise as an opportunity to refine your ability to weave together short quotations, paraphrases, and your own prose.

write 1–2 pages (a) describing at least one potential research design you could use, (b) the strengths and limitations of that design selection, and (c) the rationale for your selection

Complete the Week 7 Discussion before completing this Assignment.Research designs and methods are not created equal. Each design and method has its strengths and limitations. True experimental research designs, for example, tend to have higher levels of validity compared to ex post facto designs. Once you decide on your research design this week and the method, which you will cover in Week 8, it is important to evaluate limitations of each and consider how you will attempt to prevent or minimize them in your study.Either determining research questions or the research design might come first; most likely, you will circle back from one to the other until they are aligned and one flows logically from the other. It is necessary to have both in place before deciding on your methodology.To prepare for this Assignment, review the Learning Resources for the week. Your research design represents the structure of your study. In other words, the research design includes (a) elements of treatment; and (b) the number, type, relationship, and strategies to control the variables you are studying. It also includes (c) the number and type of individuals or groups in your sample. Finally, the research design includes (d) the measurements; (e) sampling methods; (f) data collection time frame; and (g) setting (Walden University, 2010). Research methods are used to carry out research designs; methods fall under two broad categories: (a) Quantitative (e.g., experimsental, quasi-experimental) and (b) qualitative (e.g., case study, grounded theory, ethnography) (Trochim & Land, 1982). More on that in Week 8.Again, your problem statement and research questions will help you determine your research design, and your research design will help determine your research method. In this Assignment, you will select a research design and examine its appropriateness for your potential research.In your Discussion assignment, you have posted at least two research questions. In this Application Assignment, using the required readings and media resources on research design, write 1–2 pages (a) describing at least one potential research design you could use, (b) the strengths and limitations of that design selection, and (c) the rationale for your selection: Explain why it would be appropriate based on your problem statement and research questions. Be specific.The latter will become part of your Prospectus section on the nature of the study, together with your chosen methodology.Support your Application Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the Learning Resources for this course.

Identify two stereotypes about a specific religion or faith.

Researching StereotypesStereotypes, like bias, are a social phenomenon that fuels isms. Every culture has stereotypes.Part of understanding stereotypes more deeply requires us to answer such questions as “How are stereotypes formed?” “What attitudes, beliefs, or experiences maintain stereotypes?” and “How are stereotypes changed?” That is where research comes in. Unfortunately, it is hard to research a topic when research participants do not want to admit that they hold stereotypes, let alone use them to make life decisions.In this discussion, you will address religious stereotypes and create a research study that investigates those stereotypes within a religious culture of your choice. Finally, you will evaluate how cultural and research biases will affect your study.InstructionsYour initial post will have two parts. First, complete the following:Identify two stereotypes about a specific religion or faith.Compare and contrast the stereotypes and their effects on the subjects of the stereotypes.Next, describe a design for a research study related to your specialization that investigates an issue related to a stereotype or is counter to a stereotype. You may investigate anything related to the faith or religion, and stereotypes. For example, if you were a chemical dependency counselor, you might investigate alcoholism in Jewish Americans.Explain, briefly, what your research study plans to investigate and why this is important.Articulate the cultural biases that may surface in your research and how you will manage or avoid them.Explain how will you recruit participants.Discern the types of research biases you will want to avoid in the study.Your initial discussion post should be at least 200 words.Response GuidelinesRespond to at least two other learners. Please try to choose posts that have not yet had responses. Each peer response should be 150 words or more. When responding to a peer, consider whether his or her post contains any assumptions or faulty logic that should be questioned. Is it incomplete in any way? Can you enlarge upon the ideas presented or suggest variations? Are there flaws with participant recruitment or research biases that can be avoided? Support your opinions by citing course readings or your own experience, if relevant.Learning ComponentsThis activity will help you achieve the following learning components:Describe types of cultural bias.Identify research-based best practices related to culture.Resources
