How do people perceive national identity in modern Kazakhstan?
Perceptions of National Identity in Kazakhstan: Research Proposal
Introduction
Kazakhstan is among the states that suffered the most from the Soviet identity, its political, and economic structures. (What do you mean here by suffering from the Soviet identity? How one can suffer from certain identity? Do you mean from Soviet policies? It requires reformulation. What is suffering? Is it the economy, policies or something else? Not clear. Also, such claims must be supported by evidence or source.)
However, three decades later, after the Soviet Union’s fall, Kazakhstan, a country with the most diverse demographic composition, is still experiencing an identity crisis. Research suggests that Kazakhstan started building its national identity after the fall of the Soviet Union. According to Cohen (2008), the Soviet Union collapse accelerated Kazakhstan’s multi-ethnic self-identification process. However, why are the Kazakh rising ethnic identity and religiosity colliding with the civic-informed nationhood in the state three decades later?
(Not logical. First, you start with a nation-building project. Then you write about the acceleration of multi-ethnic ethnicities, and then you try to problematize by saying why they are rising three decades later. What is that you consider being a puzzle or a problem here? Why is Kazakh rising despite what? Why Kazakh identity is not settled despite three decades of nation-building? It needs to be reformulated. What are the problems that are still unresolved? Perhaps there are ethnic problems in Kazakhstan? Is it on the rise? Why is the nation-building project failing and becoming more ethnic than civic? Or maybe, on the contrary, Kazakhstan is the only country where there are minimal ethnic problems. Whatever is the case there, it must be supported by evidence. Please change the puzzle.)
Understanding this puzzle requires a critical evaluation of the current people’s perception of Kazakhstan’s national identity. Further, evaluating how the Kazakh population understands the different components of civic national identity would also provide essential insights into this puzzle. This paper presents a proposal of research to evaluate the perception of national identity in Kazakhstan among the Kazakh population.

Research Questions
The questions that will be addressed in this research include:
How do people perceive national identity in modern Kazakhstan?
What are the components of civic national identity according to the population?
Aims of the Research
As pointed out earlier, Kazakhstan is one of the world’s most diverse states. The country’s transition from the Soviet Union that had suppressed the Kazakh identity has created concerns about the competing societal and national identity frameworks. More specifically, the Kazakh national identity that had been long suppressed is highly conflicting with the Kazakhstan civic identity that was adopted during the transition process. This research seeks to evaluate the Kazakh people perceive their national identity.
This study aims at informing how the citizens of Kazakhstan embrace their national identity. For instance, the study will examine whether Kazakh people are proud to be citizens of this country and the actual factors that influence their association with the Kazakh identity. This information will help in the identification of potential variation in the perception of national identity across different individual groups, such as gender, place of residence, or ethnic affiliations. Further, the research will inform the components of civil national identity that are critical for Kazakh citizenship from the perspective of the common people. This will inform the perception of the Kazakh people about various civil national identity components, such as citizenship, the Kazakh language, patriotism, the rule of law, ethnic diversity, religion, among others.

Explain why your suggested defense is likely to reduce the risk associated with the hazard.
A safety-critical software system for treating cancer patients has two principal components:
A radiation therapy machine that delivers controlled doses of radiation to tumor sites. This machine is controlled by an embedded software system.
A treatment database that includes details of the treatment given to each patient. Treatment requirements are entered in this database and are automatically downloaded to the radiation therapy machine.
Identify three hazards that may arise in this system. For each hazard, suggest a defensive requirement that will reduce the probability that these hazards will result in an accident. Explain why your suggested defense is likely to reduce the risk associated with the hazard.
Briefly describe the agency’s intervention/treatment plan
According to the Council on Social Work Education, Competency 4: Engage In Practice-informed Research and Research-informed Practice:
Social workers understand quantitative and qualitative research methods and their respective roles in advancing a science of social work and in evaluating their practice. Social workers know the principles of logic, scientific inquiry, and culturally informed and ethical approaches to building knowledge. Social workers understand that evidence that informs practice derives from multi-disciplinary sources and multiple ways of knowing. They also understand the processes for translating research findings into effective practice.

Contrast the pros and cons to having a spokesperson to represent an organization during a crisis or emergency.
Designating a spokesperson for a public health crisis is a critical step in controlling the messaging that goes out to the public and the media. A person’s position should not be the only factor in choosing a spokesperson. Their public communication skills, demeanor, trustworthiness and availability all matter for the critical role of spokesperson. A spokesperson should also have an understanding of scientific and medical complexities, along with best practices for crisis communication. Most importantly, a spokesperson must be able to deliver informative, accurate messages without provoking fright or alarm.
Answer the following questions:
In your own words, why is choosing the right spokesperson important?
Contrast the pros and cons to having a spokesperson to represent an organization during a crisis or emergency.
If you were looking to hire a spokesperson to represent your organization’s infection prevention plan during the COVID-19 pandemic, what characteristics would you be looking for in this individual? Describe your rationale.
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.
Riots may be illegal, but what characteristics makes them legitimate?
Choose ONE of the essay prompts.
Write an essay between 1,000-1,250 words.
Be sure to cite a minimum of SIX assigned readings/videos.
Make sure you respond to all of the prompt points.
Indicate which prompt you are selecting at the top of your essay.
Prompt A:
The First Amendment declares the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. We know from our work defining riots that riots are frequently aimed at a person who upsets the social order or they are aimed at the government/an authority that fails to adequately respond to stated grievances. Grievances often stem from rights that are denied to certain groups. We also know that there is a difference between something being legal and something being legitimate. For example, slavery was legal in the eighteenth century, but when we read about the Stono Rebellion it was clear the clas thought the illegal revolt was just and legitimate. Riots may be illegal, but what characteristics makes them legitimate? What would make a riot illegitimate? Do rights outweigh laws? Should Americans ever riot?
Prompt B:
A quote on our syllabus from Martin Luther King Jr. declares And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?
Focusing on events in the 20 th century, what does King mean by his statement? What is America failing to hear? Who is failing to hear? How can silenced Americans get their message across to those who are in power? For what reasons might Americans turn to violent action? Are violent actions ever acceptable?
Prompt C:
Protestors are often called un-American, lawless, and/or unpatriotic by people who disagree with the decision to protest. In the summer of 2020 I personally heard passersby tell protesters “shame on you for protesting” and “Fuck off.” Using examples from the class, discuss the stigma surrounding protestors from the eighteenth century to the present day. What reasons have your encountered that explain the motivations for non-protestors to denigrate protestors? Is protesting an American value? Is violent action to secure rights an American value? Can you be a patriot AND a protestor? Can you be a rioter AND a real American?
What are the shifts and/or continuities between watching media on a home theater vs. other dominant forms of media spectatorship, be it film or television?
Drawing on Barbara Klinger’s essay, discuss what she writes regarding the home theater viewing experience and home video.
What are the shifts and/or continuities between watching media on a home theater vs. other dominant forms of media spectatorship, be it film or television?
Which of Klinger’s ideas are illustrated in your own experience with home theater viewing? Which are not?
