Instructions
The purpose of this assignment is to record the work you have done finding a topic, building research questions, and doing a rhetorical analysis for your paper.
Place your three (3) research questions and thesis statement at the top of the page, below the required heading (name etc.), and answer the questions shown below. You do not have to answer these questions for each research question, just the one reflected in your thesis statement. Each question should be followed by a one to two paragraph answer. Remember that your thesis statement should be a single, complete sentence that is NOT a question.
Keep it simple. Follow the format below, making your points precisely.
Write three of your research questions here (remember that, if the question can be answered by YES or NO, it is a closed-ended question that does not invite discussion and so should be revised):
Question 1.
Question 2.
Question 3.
Write your thesis statement here (one complete sentence that is not a question):
Write paragraphs that respond to the questions below, using your thesis statement as the basis for your answers:
What is my purpose in writing this paper? (A clear understanding of your purpose will help you decide what information to include in your paper and how to organize your paper.)
What do I already know about my topic?
What are my feelings toward this topic? (You may have mixed feelings about the topic at the beginning. This may change as you do more research.)
What do my readers already know? What are my readers’ feelings toward the topic? (If your topic is a controversial one, think about the best way to present it to your audience. For example, think about your tone and word choice here.)
What do my readers need to know to understand my point? (You may understand and accept underlying assumptions about your topic, but your reader may not be aware of those.)
What information do I need to research and add to my paper? (You may need to familiarize yourself more thoroughly with the topic to make a strong presentation.)

Project Two
Overview
In this assignment, you will explain the roles of culture and bias in interpreting and conveying information.
Prompt
In Module One, you learned some common terminology used to explain different aspects of cultural diversity and how these terms may influence decision making. You also completed your own personal diversity assessment using Loden’s Diversity Wheel(https://community.astc.org/ccli/resources-for-action/group-activities/diversity-wheel). These activities will assist you as you begin to construct a cultural diversity education and training for Project One.
In this activity, you will examine the history of Chinese immigration to the United States in order to gain a better understanding of the relationship between cultural bias, stereotyping, and communication issues among a specific group, the police, and the criminal justice system. This will also assist you as you consider the specific factors from Loden’s Diversity Wheel that impact criminal-justice interactions in Project Two, which you will complete in Module Five.
First review the History of
San Francisco’s Chinatown resource(https://www.history.com/topics/immigration/san-francisco-chinatown),
On Police Treatment Asian-Americans Show Ethni,Generational Splits (https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/04/18/524556485/on-police-treatment-asian-americans-show-ethnic-generational-splits),
, and The Social History of Crime and Punishments in America: An Encyclopedia -Chinese Americans https://sk-sagepub-com.ezproxy.snhu.edu/reference/socialhistory-crime-punishment/n106.xml. Then, in a slide presentation, complete the following essential elements:

Slide 5

Specifically, the following rubric criteria must be addressed:
Identify cultural stereotypes of Chinese immigrants.
Provide examples of poor decision making as a result of cultural stereotyping.

History Civilization
Please answer the following questions in detail : ( Post should be at least 300 words)
(1) What did all Paleolithic people have in common, and what differences subdivided them?
(2) What were the key changes in human society that came with the Argicultrual Revolution ?
In the 21st century, scientific and technological innovations have become increasingly important as we face the benefits and challenges of globalization. Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is a part of our everyday lives. Exposing students to STEM creates an engaging classroom environment and prepares students for real-world application.
In 250-500 words, create a digital flyer or brochure for the families of the students in the “Class Profile” outlining an upcoming cross-curricular, real-world project you are planning to implement in your classroom that integrates STEM.
The flyer or brochure must include:
A title for the cross-curricular project.
A summary of the project that clearly outlines how STEM will be utilized and how the concepts taught can be applied in a real-world setting.
How students will be assessed.
Materials the students will use for the project, including any that will be provided and those that could be brought from home.
How families can support their student in the completion of the project.
The flyer/brochure should be creative, visually appealing, and well organized.
While APA style format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected.
Complete readings “The Nature of Virtue”, by Aristotle, and “How Can I be a Better Person? On Virtue Ethics,” by Douglas Giles [“Virtue Ethics” by Julia Driver (Missing)]
You have now read something about three different ethical theories (utilitarianism, Kantianism, and Virtue theory). Imagine that you are the doctor in charge of emergency services in a small, local hospital. Your hospital has three ventilators, which help people struggling to breathe to stay alive. Today five people have been admitted to the hospital with coronavirus symptoms, and all five need help breathing. Without knowing anything (yet) about the patients, your hospital has to formulate a policy about how to decide who gets to use a ventilator and who will not (keeping in mind that it may be that someone who does not get to use a ventilator may die, and someone who gets to use a ventilator may not live). First, use virtue theory to describe a policy that your hospital might implement. HINT: remember that virtue theory focuses on the character of the “actor” – what would a reasonable person do here? Why would virtue theory indicate this way? Be sure to mention the advantages and disadvantages of using virtue theory.
Then, compare that answer to EITHER the answer a utilitarian will give to formulate this policy OR how a Kantian/deontologist would design the policy. Remember the “Why”, and the advantages and disadvantages.. ).
