What would you do differently if you could “practice” speaking in front of the mirror?

On the stand, you are unable to watch yourself talk to the jury. What do you look like? Do you pronounce each
word correctly? Are you enunciating your vowels? Ideally, you will be afforded the opportunity to look at your
case notes and then support your testimony with information listed in your report.
This impromptu speech documentation will require you to begin talking about a topic you are familiar with
while watching your facial expressions in the mirror.
Additionally, another person will be with you (either a friend or family member, someone who can document
your facial expressions) and you will collect their impressions of your speech. The speech should be no longer
than 3-5 minutes, long enough so that you can begin to speak in a “normal” tone and pace.
The written portion of this assignment should be fairly short:
• One page (4-5 paragraphs) documenting:
o Your facial expressions (what you noticed, how does your mouth move, what do you do with
your hands, do you close your eyes when you speak, and other various observations)
o What would you do differently if you could “practice” speaking in front of the mirror?
Also include your observer’s report and identify any similarities/differences in their observation of you and
your observation of yourself.

Analyze how lifespan development and specific populations were affected by the event.

The topic of President Trump Election and it’s affects on immigrants. The paper focus is how this affects individuals and groups across their life course.

1. Abstract

2. Analyze how lifespan development and specific populations were affected by the event.

3. Explore risk and protective factors throughout the lifespan.

4. Application of the multidimensional approach. In this section be specific in discussion of dimensions of person (biological, psychological and spiritual), time (linear, chronological, historic) and environment (family, small group, formal organizations, social movements, etc.) Students should identify one aspect from each dimension: person, time and environment.

Application of two theoretical perspectives to explain how the event impacted diverse populations.

◦ Systems

◦ Developmental

◦ Psychodynamic

◦ Humanistic

◦ Social Behavioral

◦ Exchange and Choice

◦ Conflict

◦ Social Constructionist

5. Implication for practice. In this section, apply social work ethics and values in addressing the needs to the population who experienced the event.

6. Conclusion.

7.  Use of Hutchinson text and SIX peer-reviewed articles to support your response.

In the second part of your essay, discuss what implications the dystopian visions of the future offered by Gibson and Bacigalupi have for our understandings of resistance and emancipation.

In the 1980s, a new sub-genre of science fiction emerged through the work of authors like William Gibson, Bruce Sterling and Neal Stephenson. Known as cyberpunk, this sub-genre offered us dystopian visions of the future in which social and political order has partially collapsed under the weight of unrestrained corporate power. These dystopian futures reflected the anxieties and fears that attended the growth in neoliberal forms of political economy during the 1980s and 90s, and more recent authors, like Paolo Bacigalupi and Cory Doctorow, have continued this tradition of science fiction, incorporating anxieties related to climate change, bioengineering and surveillance technologies into their dystopian visions of the future. What insight do these cyberpunk and biopunk works of science fiction provide into the nature of power and domination in the early 21st century, and what might they tell us about the possibilities of emancipation?

Your paper should be organized as follows. In the first section (after your introduction), discuss the dystopian futures portrayed by William Gibson in his short story “New Rose Hotel” and by Paolo Bacigalupi in his novel The Windup Girl. Identify the forms of power and domination that characterize these futures, noting how society is organized, what groups wield power in these stories, and how they wield it. You should also discuss how these dystopian futures differ from the totalitarian futures we have seen in Huxley’s novel A Brave New World and London’s short story “A Curious Fragment.”

In the second part of your essay, discuss what implications the dystopian visions of the future offered by Gibson and Bacigalupi have for our understandings of resistance and emancipation. How do these visions of a future in which traditional forms of power and order have partially collapsed complicate our notions of how to realize human freedom? How might apocalyptic fantasies in our culture, in which the old social and political order is swept away by a plague, nuclear war, or zombies, reflect contemporary concerns about the impotence of resistance or the impossibility of emancipation?

In the third and final part of your essay, offer some of your own thoughts on how we should rethink the concepts of freedom, resistance and emancipation so that they might meaningfully speak to these dystopian futures which are rapidly becoming our present.

Assess the country risks and political risks involved: Military coups, political instability, financial, economic, currency crises, and how they have been managed

The objective of this project is to analyze the financial system and economic situation of a foreign country in order to be able to make proper investment decisions. Choose a country apart from the U.S. and Turkey (and international students should choose country other than their home countries). Collect all relevant financial and economic information on the country. All groups will have to turn in written reports on their analysis.

Think of yourself as a financial adviser working for an international mutual fund trying to get institutional investors and/or wealthy money managers to invest in foreign countries or the CFO of a multinational firm that needs to make investment abroad. (In other words you need to consider both foreign direct investment opportunities and portfolio investment opportunities.) You need to consider all the advantages and disadvantages to investing in this country. You should remember that your audience is very likely to have no prior knowledge of the economic or political situations in the country, but have a good understanding of the workings of international financial markets. The information you include should be comprehensive in terms of risks included, potential of the capital markets, historical developments, certain legal or administrative hurdles unique to that country. Be sure to pay attention to some of the information below. Some or all of these might be present in one country. You do not need to include everything (these are definitely NOT the subtitles for your papers), these are just some major points to consider in researching your countries.

· Preliminary Information: Location, geography, size, population, currency…etc

· Strength of the economy: GDP, GDP per capita, inflation, exchange rate, trade deficits, budget deficits….etc, any trends in these variables; is this economy improving or deteriorating? Why? Any major economic of financial crises recently?

· Financial markets: Are there strong financial markets in the country? Existence, depth and strength of capital markets; the financial structure in the country: bank-based or capital markets based; any existence or importance of black markets…etc Anything that might be of unique importance to foreign investors in that country.

· Government involvement in financial markets and the economy in general: Major foreign debt; IMF programs; inflation targeting….etc. Are there any state owned enterprises, privatization programs? Any government intervention in foreign exchange markets, money markets…etc Is the central bank or monetary economy independent?

· Any international trade treaties or groups affecting the economy of the country? (e.g. European Union, NAFTA, IMF)

· Some economic history may be necessary to show your audience how developed the financial systems in the country are, what the major economic milestones have been. (e.g for European countries European Union created major changes, for Argentina, Chile, and other South American Countries IMF programs and reforms are important, for Eastern European Countries period after the breakdown of the Berlin wall….etc)

· Assess the country risks and political risks involved: Military coups, political instability, financial, economic, currency crises, and how they have been managed

· Assess the currency and translation risks

Finally come up with an investment advice: Would you recommend investments in this country? Why or Why not? Analyze portfolio investments and FDI separately, would you recommend one or not the other? What should the investor be aware of when they make the investment decisions? Do you see any potential problems or improvements in the country’s future?

The organization of the paper should be like an analysis report. Make sure it is well-organized, clear and to-the point. Do not write separate sections and attach them together. Make sure there is a clear flow to your paper. The best approach is to gather all the information, decide on your investment advice, and the write the other sections. Papers should include an executive summary, table of contents, clear definition of investment potentials and risks along with the body of the analysis. Make sure you properly cite all the resources you use. The rest of the organization is at the discretion of the groups, but remember that the presentation of your work is a reflection of the importance you put on that work.
