My name is Cindy Hardy
and I am a graduate learner and I am recruiting individuals to explore female
perceptions of their personal lived experiences of being a survivor of
childhood sexual abuse (CSA) from a family member and how implementing
forgiveness as a coping skill affected their relationship toward their
perpetrator. The interviews questions need to be answered in detail and the
total length of the interview transcript must be 10 pages in length. Please
also complete the Heartland Forgiveness Questionnaire. I need 10 women to
complete this, so I will be posting this 10 times in order to get back 10
different transcripts.

The emergence of a retail market in the first half of the 19th century dramatically altered the lives of working Americans, both free and enslaved, as the divisions within society deepened. The early expansion of industrial and agricultural development involved different types of labor and economic organization. The changing status of workers and the organization of work not only challenged the Jeffersonian ideal of a nation of property owners but also transformed the nature of work itself.

In what ways did industrial and agricultural development change the nature of work for urban artisans and journeymen in the North and southern slaves and Native Americans in the South, respectively, and how did each group respond to these changes?

Conclude your paper by evaluating the degree to which these groups of people shared in the nation’s prosperity.

Support your paper with relevant evidence from class readings and notes. Use proper attribution, citing the author’s last name and page number when quoting directly and paraphrasing from the readings. Include a works cited page at the end of your paper. Use the following style:

All papers must be typed, double-spaced throughout and five (5) pages in length, each numbered with standard one-inch margins and size 12 font. Respect the page limit. Correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation matter. Use only those sources that have been assigned and discussed in class; do not use any other sources, especially those from the Internet.

1. My Father’s House

The main point of the essay, from the writer’s recollection, about what had transpired at his father’s house, seven years ago, was a very difficult situation, which carried long lasting memories. A model family’s lives got disrupted by one man’s selfish desire and decision-making. I strongly believed that the subject matter of the essay, strictly elaborates on a bitter divorce, which brought pain and suffering to a now distraught family.

The events that lead to the ending of the family’s destruction, was the unspoken hurt their mother experienced from their dad, until the divorce matter was brought to light. Recall the time when the daughter asked her mother about going outside to play, and the display of hurt that she saw in her mother’s face, caused her to become worried. Her mother did not want to say no to her, but at the time her soul was in turmoil from pain and stress that she was enduring at the time. The question most people would ask, would be – was the husband involved in an extra-marital affair with the wife that he later married?

I found this essay to be rather disturbing and I was very saddened by the breaking up of a once close-knitted family. Marriage is very meaningful to me, and I detest divorce to the tenth power, mainly because of all the ramification and changes that it creates. The hurt experienced by each family member, would change each person’s outlook on their way of life, thinking, future relationships and trust. The wife and children would have had a much faster recovery time, if they had seek counseling, soon after the fact.

The abstract concept, I believe, was the fact that he was given the role to become the man of the house by his dad, at such a tender age, would cause him to become more worried. He would not know what to do because his dad was the likely party to be the man of the house, which was an easy task for him, as an adult. Was their dad hurt any at all by his selfish decision that he had made? It would be quite possible that he did, mainly because he did not like the breaking up of the family, but his interest lies elsewhere. This kind of situation would weigh on the husband’s mind for a long time, even after he had gotten married to his new wife. Situation such as this, would help to make people stronger and more conscious, due to a presentation of an unforeseen situation that caused devastation.

The moral of the story would be, that people who are married with children, should think about the pain they would cause their children, before they think about a divorce. Being married to my wife is a very heart-warming feeling because we wake up and see each other each day. My daughter will grow up, knowing that her parents were happily married. This kind of relationship breathes life in a marriage and make it healthy and strong. People must cease to become selfish and should strive to have good communication skills between both parties. If it was a situation that requires a counselor’s intervention, then they should both seek help and discuss the matter. Communication, honesty and trust are paramount in the growth of a well-structured relationship.

2.This was a very touching short story. It only took me reading the first paragraph before I was completely drawn into the story and had to know what happened next. I guess in part by me wondering how my children felt when their mother and I divorced and if they feel the same way, but then the second paragraph really punched me in the gut. The thought of a child feeling like they need to knock on either of their parents doors in my culture, divorced or not, is not common and it makes me feel sad for the person the author is writing about. This man has a lot of resentment towards his father and the story really portrays that without specifically making mention of it. I got the feeling the father was having an affair and maybe now this new woman living in the house was the person he had the affair with. It also says a lot in my opinion when the author wrote about an 11 year old child feeling like he could not break eye contact with the father after being told about the parent’s decision to divorce because he didn’t want to look weak. For me, right then this child started a whole new concept of who he was as a person then, what type of person his father was and the person he knew he did and did not want to be. Even though the divorce was the worst thing in his life to happen at that time the story tells me that despite such a traumatic event it also ended up being the best thing that could happen to him to know what type of husband and father he would be himself and that is the abstract part of this story.

This two article is reaction to an article, just write your own thought when you read this two article and give me one paragraph for each article.

Module 6 Discussion

Global Learning and Cultural Diversity

Consider the following scenario:

A high school technology class in the United States was participating in an online project with a class in an Arab country where the students worked in small groups to create a video presentation. As the project progressed, the American teenaged boys found the girls in their group to be fascinating and started flirting cautiously with them. The Arab teachers were so distraught with the situation; they withdrew their students from the project.

In thinking about the outcome of this scenario, what led to the withdrawal of the Arab class? What might have been done to prevent the outcome? As a teacher, how do you recover from this?

One of the benefits of providing training and learning opportunities for employees or students online is that students are not bound by geographical location. Course participants can live anywhere in the world, which provides rich learning experiences but also provides challenges. Instructional designers must be culturally sensitive in the development of assignments, instructions for engagement, and assessments.

To prepare:

Consider how eLearning courses can include global learning communities. Reflect how cultural diversity might impact eLearning design. Think about times when what one considers a “best practice” of eLearning design might result in culturally-based issues.

By Day 3 of Week 11:

Post a fictitious eLearning scenario exploring potential misunderstandings in the design of eLearning courses with potential international audiences. For example, in an eLearning course, requiring course participants to develop lessons that have mixed gender audiences may not be appropriate in some cultures. (Note: Keep descriptions of culture generalized. Do not mention specific countries, race, or cultures. Instead, identify characteristics of a culture to share the parameters).
