Determine whether your example illustrates that women’s access to reproductive healthcare is directly linked to women’s political, economic, and social equality.

Based on the readings and documentary in Modules 3 and 4, discuss women’s reproductive and sexual rights: Post#1: Research one case of women’s reproductive health challenges online (New York Times; Washington Post; etc.). Present the position by the news media you researched and compare it with the assigned readings/videos. Post#2: Determine whether your example illustrates that women’s access to reproductive healthcare is directly linked to women’s political, economic, and social equality. Post#3: Identify the state of LGBTQ+ rights in your own community (your home state; your country of origin) and discuss the connection between women’s reproductive health and LGBTQ+ rights. Post#4: Comment on one of your group members’ posts: In what ways are your results similar/different?

Discuss examples of product width, length, depth and consistency offered by this company and what the company may consider in defining its product mix.

Consider the product line offered by your local McDonald’s franchise. Discuss examples of product width, length, depth and consistency offered by this company and what the company may consider in defining its product mix.

Describe how the federal program is administered by the Texas state government or a local government.

The national government is often referred to as the federal government. That leads to some issues when we discuss federalism – because federalism is not referring to the national government alone. Federalism is the relationship between the national and state/local governments. When we talk about federal programs, most of the time we are really talking about a national government policy that is administered at the state level. This is what federalism is: the national government passes a law that establishes a program and then (most of the time) provides funding to the states to carry out that program. I say most of the time, because there are different forms of federalism, as described in your textbook.

A great example of federalism that your book discusses is voting rights. There are national level laws that require the states to allow access to voting to protecting groups within our population (think about African-Americans historically being denied the right to vote in the United States). Even though states are in charge of voting, the states must abide by the national voting laws. In return for following the national voting laws, the national government will provide money to the states to help fund the cost of national elections (congressional and/or presidential). However, if the states do not abide by the national voting laws, the national government can force the states to follow the law. Sometimes, the states do not agree with parts of the national law and might try to fight against it in the court system, as explained in You Decide: Voices of Texas, Voting and Redistricting Rights (Champagne, Harpham, and Casellas 103).

Information to help you answer this question will be found in Chapter 3 of your textbook.

In your original post you must:

  • Identify a federal (national) program that is administered by the state government and/or local government.
  • Describe how the federal program is administered by the Texas state government or a local government.
  • Identify what type of federalism is demonstrated in the federal program you chose.
  • Explain why your chosen federal program fits the above identified type of federalism.

Describe a situation in your life where pressures to conform or obey affected you.

In our study of Conformity last week, we read two classic studies in Social Psychology: Asch, Opinions and Social Pressure, and Milgram, Behavioral Study of Obedience. Please answer the following two questions.

•  1. Write approximately 1 to 2 pages commenting on one of these studies (either Asch or Milgram).  You might consider:

•  What did the study find?

•  What do you think of the methodology?

•  What about ethical considerations?

•  What are some of the implications?

•  2. Describe a situation in your life where pressures to conform or obey affected you.

What are the measurable skills of critical thinking in young children?

What are the measurable skills of critical thinking in young children? •Literature review: need for theoretical foundation long discussion around the review question. •Suggestion to examine some of the philosophy for education, STEAM education and other areas literature with a view to defining how we see critical thinking – what is critical thinking? what are the indicators of success for children in critical thinking (e.g. can they reason, explain)? Thinking of yourself as a teacher, how do I know whether or not these children are thinking critically – what skills can they exhibit. •After the review, the answer to the review question should be the desired outcome as the measurable skills of critical thinking in young children should be clearly identified. Sources: No specific number I would like to ask you to Record the Research please. 1.Write up the search methodology By providing details about the methods you used when searching, you should give enough detail for someone else to reproduce the same or similar results. Your search methodology should include: where you searched (e.g. database names) when you did your searches (e.g date viewed or retrieved) limits you applied to your searches (e.g. date ranges, language, document type, etc.) 2.Write up your search strategy Search strategies are often included as an appendix to a literature review and should give enough detail for someone else to reproduce the same or similar results. Your search strategy should include: how you searched (e.g. keywords and/or subjects) search terms used (e.g. words and phrases) search techniques used (e.g. nesting, truncation, etc.) how you combined searches (e.g. AND / OR / NOT) 3.Record your results You may want to record results for all of your searches – this may be included as part of your search methodology or search strategy. This will help you and your readers to determine how much information may already be available on a specific subject and/or how effective your search strategies were. Guidance on Writing this Chapter: This should explore the question/s you are raising through evaluating the work of previous research and policy, creating a context for the subsequent investigation. The literature sources should be up to date, but should not preclude older material that is pertinent. Your literature review should look critically at a range of sources, e.g. government documents, research reports, books and journal articles. Ensure you cover the key literature and consider the range of ideas and evidence about your particular topic. It is often useful to organise your review around 3 or 4 essential themes / debates and use these as section headings. The review should closely relate and contribute to your own research programme. It is useful to develop a personal ‘database’, using index cards or a suitable computer based system, on the available literature. Ensure that all details of work cited are complete, including the page number for any quotations. Whilst it can be appropriate to quote directly from source material, this technique should be used sparingly; it is usually better to paraphrase or draw out key issues so that you maintain control over the arguments presented. Beware of using the literature only to support your position and arguments; critical analysis is a crucial element of a good dissertation. For this reason it often works better stylistically to be as a transparent as possible about the origin of the work e.g. Lakoff and Johnson (2004) argue / propose / question ……

Describe which Community Intervention Components (from Ch. 5) were incorporated into the Harlem Children’s Initiative, and thus made it successful

Report Issue

The Harlem Children’s Zone is an example of a Community Intervention Program, which specifically uses a block association model.

Watch the video below and reflect upon what components of Community Intervention Programming were incorporated (said another way, what made this program successful).

reflecting on how this program may effect children’s stress, coping, social support and resilience. More specifically, address the following points

  1. Describe the Harlem Children’s Initiative
  2. Describe which Community Intervention Components (from Ch. 5) were incorporated into the Harlem Children’s Initiative, and thus made it successful
  3. Explain how these program components would affect community members’ (i.e., children’s) stress, coping, social support and resilience (from Ch. 3)
