For this assignment, you will look at the intersections of family life and public policy within a context of interest to you. You may select any public policy (historical or current, federal or state, or in another country) that affects families and critically analyze it from a sociological perspective. You will provide a detailed background on your public policy and examine how your policy affects family life. You will critique the policy using your sociological imagination, as well as the readings you gather on your own.

To get you started, here is a topic to explore (as it relate to families): (abortion)

NOTE: This is not specific policy, it’s just topic. Your job will be to find a specific public policy that relates to this topic (and then you will analyze it for the paper).

You will provide a detailed background on your public policy and examine how your chosen policy affects family life. Your paper should incorporate the following questions, though they do not need to be answered in this order, and should be answered in essay format. It should begin with an introduction that outlines your paper’s main points, and then address the following questions:

** What is this family policy? Why was this policy created? Who created it? When was it created?

** What do the sources you found say about this policy? Provide detailed summaries of the readings you ’ve selected. {Note: doing a very thorough job on your summaries will be key to doing well on this assignment}

** What is an ideology and what do you think this policy tells us about family ideology?

** What are the effects of this policy on families? (Note: they may affect different groups and families differently and you should explore this)

** What are your own opinions about this policy and why?

Your paper should include at least 7 references from academic or reputable news sources (no blogs, Wikipedia, or other non—academic sources).

The paper should be 8 full pages typed (not including your title page or reference page),
double—spaced, 1-inch margins, 12 point Times New Roman font.

Anthropological Case Studies are ethnographies that have been gathered by participant observation over long periods of involvement with a community, using both emic and etic perspectives:

An \”emic\” account is a description of behavior or a belief in terms meaningful (consciously or unconsciously) to the actor; that is, an emic account comes from a person within the culture. Almost anything from within a culture can provide an emic account.
An \”etic\” account is a description of a behavior or belief by an observer, in terms that can be applied to other cultures; that is, an etic account attempts to be \’culturally neutral\’. (https://www.princeton.edu/~achaney/tmve/wiki100k/docs/Emic_and_etic.html)

Etic accounts are viewed through Cultural Relativism: ethical behavior in culture-specific settings.

What to do:

Compare and contrast two case studies we have looked at so far this semester. The point of the exercise is for you to demonstrate an understanding of how these different practices from the past
and/or from the present serve social needs in different cultures around the world. Give emic perspectives for both sides and your personal (etic) perspective on the practices as a whole.

Choose one of the following sets of Case Studies for this assignment:

A) Different approaches: Shamanistic use of hallucinogens vs. recreational drug use

How to do it:

1) Introduce your two examples clearly by name, location and timeframe. Write a solid thesis statement
that encapsulates the intention of this essay and place it at the end of your first paragraph.

2) Discuss the process and function of change in religious practices/belief structures/healing systems.
What changes occur in a traditional culture when a new belief system is imposed or assimilated?
What changes occur in the new belief system in response to accommodating or changing the old?
What were/are the intended and/or unexpected results from these changes?

3) Using specific examples from your chosen case studies, discuss the implied or stated ethical
problems, behaviors and long-term outcomes of the case studies you are comparing.

Required format:
a) first and last names, date and topic in upper left corner (nothing else).
a) typed, 12-point font, in English
b) double-spaced
c) 1-inch margins top/bottom and left/right sides
d) proof-read and spell-checked for grammar, spelling and punctuation
e) two full pages of text minimum, maximum three pages

There are many well-known theories relating to motivating both individuals and teams but how can PMs use the theory in practical ways throughout a project?
A review of the literature and published case studies can be used to examine motivational theory in action across different industries and cultures and/or to develop a guide to best practice for PMs

This dissertation is literature review based, so please find enough articles to support the discussion.

The max number of references is 80, but I think for my dissertation its better to use over 100 references, is that possible to do it?

Choose from the following essay suggestions. You may create your own topic, with approval, if you consult me before 17 July. You must use secondary sources appropriate to your topic in both focus and quantity. Your paper should demonstrate a grasp of both the primary text(s) you choose to write on and the critical materials available. This means that you must show an understanding of the reliability of critical materials, how to find scholarly criticism, and an ability to judge whether a work is dated or current. While some topics will have more or less critical materials available than others, I advise a 3–4 sources minimum. You may wish to consider biographical materials, letters, print history, journals, or other such sources as well.

1.Many of the works we have studied this term derive from a cultural context where social imbalances are reflected in the texts (ie: class, race, colonialism, etcetera). Consider one or more texts (that you have not previously written on) by taking into account how they respond to their cultural and historical circumstances.

2.Several of the authors we have studied seem to be inspired by or interested in each other’s work. Consider two or more authors’ relationships (personal or purely literary) and how they can inform their writings. Is it a mutual influence? Does a later author alter the way we read an earlier one? Try to consider as many levels in the texts as possible, such as allusions, style, setting, themes, argumentative purposes, or even related texts and biographical information.

3.Eliot’s poetry is both “traditional” and “new,” in both instances largely in connection with its use of allusion. Consider how allusion functions in The Waste Land. Does it connect the poem to a long literary tradition or does it mark a rupture from tradition that coincides with Modernism? You might choose to focus on the role of a particular allusion in the poem, such as Eliot’s references to Shakespeare or Ovid.

4.Joyce\’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Woolf\’s Jacob\’s Room, and Wilde\’s The Picture of Dorian Gray all shows significant interests in form and style (as distinct from social or thematic concerns). To what degree can Jacob\’s Room appear as an answer or rebuttal to A Portrait of the Artist or Portrait as an answer or rebuttal to Dorian Gray?

5.Texts as stylistically and politically distinct as Wilde\’s The Picture of Dorian Gray and Woolf\’s Jacob\’s Room are still considered modernist and hence part of a shared aesthetic tradition. Please discuss any two or more texts from this term as either contiguous works in a common movement or as disjunctions in contested practices. Based on such a comparison, what information emerges with regard to modernist literature in general?

answer the following questions from the video.

Link to the video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lagdeg1Bz5E

1.What role did the U.S. play in the Soviet-Afghan War (1979-1989), and what led to the rise of Osama bin Laden in the early 1990’s? What do you think could have been done differently given what you read in the textbook and what you know about recent history.
2.Practical Criminologists argue offenders are rational. They choose places, targets, and even times that are often advantageous to them or make it easier to commit the crime. How can you apply this thinking to the kidnappings for ransom problem in Colombia? How are kidnappers rational, based on the graphs in the lecture? In other words, what patterns do you see and how could we explain it?
