Weapons as the end to conflict

Most people think of weapons as part of the process of conflict. Weapons keep the enemies from taking territory or imposing their political, cultural, and economic values on others. Weapons are generally thought of as instruments of destruction and death. But, what if technology could be used to make a weapon that could end a conflict? Instead of the usual destructive nature of weapons, in this Discussion you are asked to consider how a weapon might create peace. For example, if two nations were at war over food supplies, the enemy of both nations would be hunger. So, think about using a weapon against hunger, and not against other humans who wanted to eat. Depending on the geography and level of development of the nations in conflict, technology could be used to design an effective weapon against the mutual enemy of hunger. In an arid region, this might mean building a dam to create a reservoir to irrigate the land. In an arctic region, perhaps the weapon would be greenhouses in which to raise food.

• Investigate any conflict or war that is currently going on anywhere in the world.
• Describe the parties and the basic reason for the conflict. Then, design a weapon that you believe would end the conflict.
• What does the weapon look like? What is it made of?
• What does the weapon do?
• Will special training be needed to operate it?
• What are the potential negative outcomes for non-governmental persons or property if this weapon is used?

3. Explain your strategies for Audience Analysis and Adaptation
   1. Review the outcomes from the Audience Analysis Questionnaire and some of the reflections from Discussion 03 concerning audience analysis. Explain how you will tailor your speech to the audience in light of the political typology, audience demographics, values and attitudes. ( my results was religion 7 society )
   2. In terms from our text how do you expect audience members to respond to your message? Note especially pp. 192-194.
   3. Drawing further from Chapter Seven, describe the best ways to motivate your audience with this topic. In what way will they be motivated in light of how relevant the topic is to their interests, timeliness of the subject matter, and significance to their lives?
   4. Drawing on our audience analysis, how can you created identification with your audience in terms of the value priorities of the audience? Identify shared values to emphasize that relate to the position you hold.
4. Identify your Principle Persuasive Strategies using the terms from Chapters Twelve that explains types of arguments, from Chapter Nine on modes of proof, from Chapter Fourteen for aspects of credibility and Organizational Pattern for persuasiveness viz. Problem-Solution, Problem-Cause-Solution, Comparative Advantages, Monroe Motivated Sequence. In addition, explain what types of Supporting Materials you intend to use in your speech using the terms from Chapter Eight.
5. Review the feedback you received from your classmates from your last two speeches as well as your own assessments of your speeches. Highlight two or three goals for improvement you want to accomplish in light of that feedback.

Present the Preparation Outline of your speech with side notes that explain how you are developing the parts of your speech. Draw on Chapter 11 to include the essential elements, noting that the parts of your outline should follow the four rules for the preparation outline detailed in pp. 134-135:

1. Introduction: the five parts of attention-getter, relevance to audience, develop credibility, state your argument and preview of main points, and relevance of the topic to yourself. This may be done in paragraphs or in full-sentence outline format.
2. Body: Include the main points and the sub points with a full-sentence format and use notations to identify the various elements: label the enumeration of main points in Roman numerals, identify persuasive strategies for the sub points that are indicated with capital letters drawing on the principle persuasive strategies that you highlighted in #4 above, note the kinds of supporting material that you indicated with numbers and use labels to identify the type of evidence used such as examples, narratives, surveys, types of testimony, analogies, definitions, numbers and statistics.
3. Conclusion: Identify how you are accomplishing the goals of the ending such as signaling your conclusion, summary/instant replay function, and statement of closure/action to clinch the ending.

Draw on the following Outline Checklist (Formal Sentence Outline Checklist.pdf) to make sure you have included all of the key parts.

Part 2: Develop an annotated bibliography using the following guidelines:

List research materials in bibliographic form that you have found on your topic and evaluate these sources as an annotated bibliography. For your reference, here is a guideline on annotated bibliography. You should find five sources as follows:
Note: You are at liberty to use a range of types of research strategies. One helpful strategy is to go to the Northern Virginia Community College Library site. There you can search for a variety of types of sources.

1. One Book: If you are doing a speech relevant to your major, consider a text book for this. If you draw on the NVCC library, click on the tab at the library webpage for “Books and eBooks.”
2. One Scholarly Journal Article: Journals can be located by using a specialized database in a given academic field by clicking on the tab for “Research Guides” and selecting your field, or use the “Articles” tab and then choose “Recommended Databases for Most Topics” to find a more general database. Good starting points for this are Academic Search Complete click the box for Academic (Peer Reviewed) Journals. Another useful tool is ProQuest, where you can click on Proquest Research Library to select a field of academic inquiry. Each of these resources will also enable you to limit your search to full-text sources.
3. One Newspaper or Magazine Article: From the NVCC Library page, select “Articles” and then “Recommended Databases for Most Topics.” The best sources to use in terms of breadth of topics available are Academic Search Complete where you can narrow to newspapers, or Proquest and select Proquest Newstand.
4. One Credible Website or Media Clip: As you select websites, draw on the criteria for judging the credibility of Internet materials found in Chapter Six of our text. For media materials, the NVCC library includes a tab for Audio and Video.
5. The fifth resource is your choice

For each of these sources, do the following:

1. Write the APA format citation that you would include in your references list. Formatting for each type of material can be found in Chapter Six. Be sure to distinguish between APA format and MLA. NOTE: If you have any questions about APA style and annotated bibliography, you may post your questions in the Ask a Librarian Forum. ELI librarians are here to help you!
2. List your sources by alphabetic order, using the last name of the primary author of each work you are citing.
3. Write a one paragraph summary of the source using your own words. Make sure to label the type of source (e.g., Book, Website, Journal Article, etc.).
4. Write another paragraph evaluating the source. Will it be a helpful source to include in your speech? Why or why not? How does it provide information that will demonstrate the main points that you will develop in your speech and/or provide information for connecting with your audience?

Audience Analysis

COLLAPSE

This is the link to the results of the survey: http://www.people-press.org/quiz/political-typolog…

There are certain terms which are contained in the survey which I can associate with. As far as the degree to which the beliefs and demographic categories pertain me, I strongly believe that I am in the faith and family category. The survey states that the people in this category place emphasis religion and claim that it is quite important. I also second this opinion. On the other hand, I do not fall on the social characteristic of this particular group which states that there is a high number of the least educated persons in the community.

There are different positions that have been reached in the survey about people that fall in the different categories. As far as the faith and family left category which I fall in is concerned, certain conclusions have been reached. There are some positions in this group which I relate with. I strongly believe in Government institutions and their ability to help change the way people live. Personally, I strongly believe that there is need to enhance the rate at which the society is growing since it will have great impact on the growth and development of the community. As such, the government programs which bring about this change are quite important to me.

Type and single space your responses using 12 point Times New Roman font.
For your reference, here is a sample annotated bibliography, Example Annotated Bibliography.pdf.

George please follow the instructions listed and use the datasets you already have from previous assignments. Also please use the template attached to complete the assignment,

Analysis of Variance with Repeated Measures

Because you are measuring the same subjects over time, your data are dependent and therefore you need a statistical test that will take this dependency into consideration. You could run multiple paired sample t tests but that would not only be inefficient, it would introduce the possibility of a type I error. The repeated measures ANOVA allows you to compare three or more means on dependent data without using multiple t tests.

Repeated Measures ANOVA in SPSS

To prepare

• Review the datasets provided.
• Construct a research question based on one of those datasets.
• Pay attention to the assumptions of this test, and ask, “Does it make sense to interpret the mean of this dependent variable?”

Use SPSS to answer the research question you constructed. Then, compose a 1- to 2-paragraph analysis in APA format.

Here is an example:

RQ: What is the difference in the scoring by different lecturers on the same papers?

Null Hypothesis (H0): There are no statistically significant differences in the percentage marks given by the four different lecturers on the same papers.

Alternative Hypothesis (HA): There are statistically significant differences in the percentage marks given by the four different lecturers on the same papers.

Results

The grading of four different lecturers on the same essays were analyzed to determine if there were “harder” and “easier” graders. There are some differences in the mean scores given by the different professors (list means of each instructor here).

The results of Mauchly’s test was statistically significant (p=.043) so the assumption of sphericity was violated. Due to this, the Greenhouse-Geisser test was used in order to determine if the scores given by the four different professors on the same essays were statistically significant (see Table 1).

INSERT TABLE 1 (Test of Within-Subjects Effect table)

The results of this indicated that the differences were not statistically significant (p=.063). Therefore the null hypothesis is retained.

Be sure to include your data output from SPSS at the end of the paper.
