I have 4 Pages research paper! Humanities Assignment Help

The “Term Paper” assignment, to be submitted November 8th, will consist of a list of elected officials who represent you on all levels, local, state and federal. You are also required to write letters to three of those officials. One of those letters has to be written to your representative in the House, or one of your two senators in the Senate. You may write the remaining two letters to the officials of your choice.

The letters must be written about an actual problem in your city, state or the nation. This entails researching the problem and the official, to whom you are writing, to ascertain if that person is able to help with the problem. Please be aware that the letters do not have to be actually mailed (unless you decide to do so). I will read each letter; and grade it based on the authenticity of the problem, the ability of the official to help solve it and how well it is written. The letters must be error free and persuasive. Hastily written letters, full of errors, will receive scores reflecting that lack of effort. I strongly suggest that this assignment be started immediately. Identify the elected officials; find out what their jurisdictions are (does s/he have the power to address the problem). Identify a problem; begin writing rough drafts. Ask family members, and others in the community, for input regarding the problem and what is needed to address it. Finally, ask that your letters be proof read by the Writing Center, a qualified family member, or a friend.

Do not attack officials. Do not write partisan letters (democrat or republican slanted). Be respectful; but be firm in your request for help. I have attached a sample letter to guide you. You may submit your letters to me prior to the deadline (at least a week before); and I will look at them, make corrections and return them to you, to correct and resubmit. Do not take this assignment lightly, obviously to earn a good grade (20% of the final grade); but, also to practice the most important right that you possess – the right to petition your elected officials for service, which you helped to elect them to provide.

Honorable Rob Rolison

Mayor of the City of Poughkeepsie

62 Civic Center Plaza
Poughkeepsie, New York 12061

Mayor Rolison,

First, I would like to congratulate you for your landslide win. I join other voters, in looking forward to the many positive improvements to our city, which you promised. I attended your inauguration; and was further inspired by your proposed administrative agenda.

My reason, for writing today, is to ask for your help in reinstating family literacy in the Poughkeepsie City School District (PCSD). Family literacy is a program which helps improve the quality of life for low income families. The program provides literacy for families in their homes and in a center, in intensity and duration, to make a sustained positive difference. Family literacy includes four components: Adult Education to help parents earn GE D’s and become employable; Early Childhood Education to help children (infants and toddlers) acquire an adequate vocabulary to be successful in school (10,000 words in Pre K); Parent/Child Interactive Literacy, in which children and parents read together and to each other and Parenting Education, to help parents become better parents and full partners in the education of their children.

The dire need for the project is evidenced by the fact that less than fifty percent of the senior class, of the Poughkeepsie High School, has graduated for over thirty years. Both, the Middle and High Schools, are in NY State Receivership. Quite simply, this is due to the absences of literacy, for generations, in the homes of low income families. Over eighty percent of PCSD students are low income. Due to the lack of exposure to literacy, these students enter school, Pre K, with 900 or 1,000 vocabulary words, not the required 10,000. With this low number of vocabulary words, it is like attempting to learn using a foreign language. They fall behind and, in most instances, they never catch up. This leads to poor performance all the way through the 12^th grade. Therein lies the reason for the less than fifty percent graduation rate.

.

Family literacy was provided for families in the Poughkeepsie City School District from 1995 until 2006. I was the director of the program from 2000 until 2006. There were many success stories for both parents and children, who participated in the project. In 2014, one of the children who was in the program as an infant, graduated valedictorian. In 2006, the federal funding for the project was diverted to the wars. We were able to continue the program for two more years, with funding from local businesses and foundations, until the financial down turn in 2008, when it ended.

Now, that the economy has improved, it is imperative that we start this project again, immediately. Please speak to the Common Council about putting start up funding in the budget for family literacy. Also, we ask that you support our effort to garner funding, for this cause, from local businesses, foundations, the state and the federal government. Our most important obligation is the proper care of our children. And success, in that regard, is very much tied to educating them properly.

Those of us, spearheading this extremely important endeavor, are targeting September 2019 to implement Poughkeepsie Family Literacy again. We are optimistic that, with your help, we will meet that goal. Our committee would like to meet with you in the near future to discuss our strategy further; and get your input. You may reach me at (845) 964-2335, if you have questions; and to give me some tentative dates that we may meet.

Sincerely,

Wesley J. Lee, President of the Family Literacy Project

MGMT 650 Critical Review Assignment

The article for this assignment is provided in the syllabus, under week 9. This is not a group project and it must be done independently.

Read through this outline carefully. When your instructor grades your submission, they will be looking to see if you followed the provided format: you can lose points if you do not. If you have any questions about what to do or need interpretation of the instructions, please post them in the Questions breakout room so that all students can benefit from the information.

Mastery of statistics involves not only the ability to generate sound statistical data, but also the ability to critically evaluate the statistical analysis of others. The latter is the focus of the Critical Review assignment in MGMT 650. A review, or critique, is not a summary or a simple retelling of the major findings in a research article. It is much more. It assesses how well the researcher carries out the required steps in the research process.

Elements of the critique

Summary of the article (Discuss what the article is about) This part SHOULD NOT include any of your personal input but rather just summarize what the author did in his/her research.

Instructions: There are four (4) topic areas listed below that are designed to measure your knowledge level specific to the social issues of equity and access relative to class, race and gender. You must respond to #2 and select any other two of these topic areas providing appropriate responses in essay form. In most cases the topic area has several components. Each must be addressed to properly satisfy requirements.

State-wide and in most professional industries, there has been a mandate that college students be more proficient in their writing. While this is not a writing class, all writing assignments will be graded for grammar, syntax and typographical correctness to help address this mandate.

Pay attention to what you are being asked to do (see Grading Rubric below). For example, to describe does not mean to list, but to tell about or illustrate in more than two or three sentences, providing appropriate arguments for your responses using theories discussed in our text. Be sure to address all parts of the topic question as most have multiple parts. A verifiable current event (less than 4 years old) relevant to at least one of the topics you respond to is a fundamental component of your quiz as well. You cannot use information from the text book or any book/article by the author of the text book as a current event. Make sure that your reference has a date of publication. For each chapter quiz and final quiz you are required to find and include at least one reference and reference citation to a current event less than 4 years old (a reference with no date (n.d.) is not acceptable) in answer to at least one question. This requires a reference citation in the text of your answer and a reference at the end of the question to which the reference applies. You must include some information obtained from the reference in your answer. The references must be found on the internet and you must include a URL in your reference so that the reference can be verified.

You should type your responses directly under the appropriate question. Be sure to include your name on your quiz. Only the first three (3) questions with answers will be graded. Include your name in the document filename. Your completed quiz must be placed in the appropriate eCollege Dropbox, no later than 11:59pm on the due date. Do well.

1. (a) Do we, as a society, have a special obligation to disabled persons to ensure that they have full Internet access? (b) Is the argument that by providing improved access and services for disabled persons, non-disabled users will benefit as well, a reasonable argument? Consider that it can be dangerous to reason along this line; for example, suppose that non-disabled persons did not benefit from software applications designed for the disabled. (c) Would that be a reason for not investing in software for disabled people? Defend your answer. Please elaborate (beyond a yes or no answer) and provide your “theoretical” rationale in support of your responses. (comprehension)
2. Theismeyer described racist/hate Web sites in this chapter. (a) Should Web sites that promote racist speech be allowed to thrive on the Internet? (b) Has the proliferation of these sites increased the incidence of racism on a global scale? Or is the Internet, as some have suggested, a force that can help to reduce racism? Please elaborate (beyond a yes or no answer) and provide your “theoretical” rationale in support of your responses. (comprehension)
3. The increased use of expert systems (ES) technology in many professional fields has generated some ethical and social concerns. Some ethical controversies surrounding ESs have to do with critical decisions, including life and death decisions; for example, (a) should “expert doctors” be allowed to make decisions that could directly result in the death of, or cause serious harm to a patient? If so, (b) who is ultimately responsible for the ES’s decision? (c) Is the hospital that owns the particular ES responsible? (d) Should the knowledge engineer who designed the ES be held responsible? Or is the ES itself responsible? In answering these questions, you may want to take a look back in chapter 4, specifically the case involving Therac-25. Please elaborate (beyond a yes or no answer) and provide your “theoretical” rationale in support of your responses. (comprehension)
4. (a) What obligations does the United States have, as a democratic nation concerned with guaranteeing equal opportunities for all its citizens, to ensure that all its citizens have full access to the Internet? (b) Does the United States also have obligations to developing countries to ensure that they have global access to the Internet? If so, (c) What is the extent of those obligations? If not, (d) Why? For example, (e) Should engineers working in the United States and other developed countries design applications to ensure that people living in remote areas with low connectivity and poor bandwidth have reasonable Internet access? If so, (f) Who should pay for the development of these software applications? If not, (g) Why? Please elaborate (beyond a yes or no answer) and provide your “theoretical” rationale in support of your responses. (comprehension)
