Description

Assignment Directions

Make an initial post to the following questions below. You will not be able to see your classmate’s work until you have posted. Please complete this post by Friday.

Engage with at least two of your classmate’s posts with a substantial response that does more than just like or agree with his or her post. Ask questions, pose new possibilities, or add to what was written. Please complete this part by Monday of next week as well.

Question:

  1. The decision to help the Amerasian Children was unpopular when it was decided. Some people felt that it was absolutely necessary while some felt that these children were Vietnam’s problem. Do you believe it was necessay for America to help the Amerasian children?

please reply to the following 2

tou long Xiong-

It was definitely necessary for America to help the Amerasian children. Amerasian children, as a product of war, were abandoned by their fathers. By not taking accountability for their own actions, this shows how irresponsible, how ignorant, and how naive American fathers were. They had the power to completely neglect and abandon their children and their Vietnamese significant other and they abused every bit of it. If the tables were turned and GIs from other countries came to America and fathered biracial American children, American mothers and the US government would definitely hold these fathers accountable. This demonstrates the power and privilege white American men hold and when given the opportunity, they will definitely abuse it.

And

Gabriela –

I believe it was necessary for America to help the Amerasian children because American soldiers were the reason why Amerasians came into this world. American soldiers often left the children they had with Vietnamese women in Vietnam rather than taking them back with them to the United States. Amerasian children experienced violence, abandonment, and were in danger in Vietnam. It was necessary for American to help these children because many were put in dangerous situations and often killed due to their American blood.

 

BRCC Performance Based Model & Membership Based Type of Compensation Program Discussion

/0 Comments/in /by

Description

Step One

Read the following from your text: Compensation (pp. 248-250)

Read the following from the Louisiana Department of Education’s website: Recognizing and Rewarding Great Results in the Classroom: Act 1 Compensation Training, October 2012 (slides 5-9)

Locate the teacher salary schedule that your district uses

Step Two

Respond to the following…

  • From your text, describe the difference(s) between a performance-based model and a membership-based type of compensation program.  Additionally, list at least two concrete things that would be different in regard to a salary schedule for teachers when comparing these two types of compensation plans.
  • On the state department’s website, you will see that since 2012, compensation for teachers should be based on demand, effectiveness, and experience.  Describe and define each of these categories.
  • Locate the salary schedule for teachers in your district.  Provide examples of how teachers in your district are compensated based on each category of demand, effectiveness, and experience.
  • Much of the focus for raising salaries for teachers is on recruiting, recognizing, and retaining effective teachers.  As a result, many would say that the following should receive higher salaries than other teachers:
    • Those rated highly effective for professional practice and for having the best student value-added data.
    • Those who teach in high demand, low supply subjects like science, math, and special education.
    • Those who meet the above criteria and who serve in schools where the supply of teachers is often low (rural areas, urban areas, schools with low performance scores).
  • Where do you stand in regard to the aforementioned categories (effectiveness, subject area, and geography) when it comes to paying those teachers more than others?  Should they receive significantly more pay?  Should all teachers be compensated the same?  Justify your responses.
  • Does your response change when it comes to thinking about this from a principal’s or human resource director’s perspective, as opposed to your current position and perspective?  Have you considered being the leader of a school or district in which effective teachers are very difficult to recruit, recognize, and retain?  Explain your answer.

PHIL 101 American Military University Immanuel Kants Moral Philosophy Discussion

/0 Comments/in /by

Question Description

I’m working on a philosophy discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Please pick one of the following questions to answer 

Jeremy Bentham argued that when we think about whether someone/something ought to count morally that ” The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?” a.) Why would it make sense for a utilitarian like Bentham to make such a statement? b.) Do you think that he’s right about the ability to suffer as what we ought to look at when we’re thinking about whether someone/something counts morally? c.) If we took this seriously what would it mean for our treatment of non-human animals?

Immanuel Kant’s moral philosophy is extremely strict about what we ought and ought not do. So strict that he argued that it is always and everywhere wrong to lie. a.) Explain why Kant thought that lying was always wrong using the categorical imperative as a guide. b.) Explain whether you think Kant was right or wrong about this lying business and make sure to use clear examples to help your explanation along. If he was wrong, what’s an example of when it’s morally ok to lie, and if he was right, what’s an example where it looks ok to lie but it really isn’t ok?

Kant focused on the intentions behind your actions when assessing the morality of the act, while Bentham and Mill focused on the consequences of your act when assessing its moral worth. Of the two, consequences and intentions, which do you think is more important when it comes time to assess the morality of actions? Do good intentions save a bad outcome, or vice versa? Make sure to provide some clear and specific examples in your explanation. Also note that while it’s possible to look at both intentions and consequences, for any act it looks like we can only really prioritize one of those.

ASU Ethics and The Practice of Anthropology Discussion

/0 Comments/in /by

Description

Topic:

The central topic for this discussion is ethics and the practice of anthropology. To complete this discussion you must read  Chapter 5 of the textbook and the assigned article by Burr: 

http://www.anthropologymatters.com/index.php/anth_matters/article/view/133/260 (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.)

(Links to an external site.)Please post and share your ideas about issues raised in this article .

  • A quick overview of anthropological fieldwork practices and how they have changed.
  • An overview of the article.
  • A more detailed explanation of Burr’s field situation and the main challenges she faced.
  • Describe some of the major actions she took (or did not take), and their consequences.
  • Regarding ethics and the practice of anthropology, do you agree with the decisions she made then? Do you agree with her concerns now? Why or why not?
  • Also address current technology and how that might effect fieldwork today.
    • One of the assigned videos praises the use of “unobtrusive” cell phones and recorders, now in the hands of almost everyone, not just anthropologists or videographers. How do you think this will affect the fieldwork practices of contemporary and future anthropologists? With everyone possibly recording everyone else, and perhaps most of them doing it without anyone’s consent, should anthropologists no longer have to get informed consent, or will this put even more emphasis on ethical practices?
  • Draw upon your own experience: What ethical challenges have you faced?  and are you satisfied with the results? A simple example: Have you ever recorded someone without their permission and posted your recording in a public format (e.g. Facebook)? Even if you meant no harm, and did not name that person, what if some person with an old grudge, someone this person thought had been safely left behind, recognizes the person from your photo? Would you refuse to take down a post if asked to?
  • Where do you think the ethics lie in these personal situations? How might that relate to professional fieldwork situations?

AU The Social Skills Intervention for Students with ADHD Discussion

/0 Comments/in /by

Description

Discussion 2: Effective Social Skills Interventions

Effective social interactions among students with exceptionalities are essential to communicative and cognitive development. Students must be taught both verbal and non-verbal communication skills that enhance their social interaction and development of social skills. Special education teachers provide guidance and instruction to enhance social skills by teaching students how to resolve conflicts, exercise self-control and manage their emotions in a variety of settings. Through classroom lessons and activities, teachers play a critical role in shaping positive character traits and developing independence in students with exceptionalities. For this Discussion, you will develop a draft of a brochure that includes evidence-based practices that promote effective social skills instruction for students with exceptionalities. You will then have time to implement feedback and new ideas before submitting the brochure as part of your Assignment.

To prepare:

·Reflect on your experiences teaching social skills to students with exceptionalities.

·Review the Learning Resources and conduct additional research on social skills instructional strategies for students with exceptionalities.

·Create a social skills intervention brochure using the peer-reviewed articles and evidence-based practices that could be used at your current school site or for future groups of staff/students that you would like to work with. The purpose of this brochure is for you to provide information to staff, families, and/or peers to help them better understand how to support students with exceptionalities who struggle with social skills. You can select the age level and disability area to focus on, as well as who should receive this brochure (i.e., staff, families, community members, peers, etc.). Your brochure should include the following information:

oIdentity of the age group and/or disability type for whom the social skills interventions brochure is designed

oA brief overview of the characteristics of students with exceptionalities who struggle with social skills and the impact they have on their learning and/or communication with others

oEvidence-based strategies that can be used to increase their social skills

oHelpful tips for school staff, parents, and/or peers

TSU Urban Geography Paper

/0 Comments/in /by

Description

For this assignment, you will write a short paper that will describe a possible scenario for the cities in the future. Your time period should be 2050, 2075, or 2100. You might wish to devise different models for a developed-world and a Third World city. The models of the future urban form discussed in readings of chapter 30 of Pacione text from this module may offer some guidance on trends you might wish to extrapolate into the future. You should also think about recent changes and problems in cities with which you are familiar. How are these likely to develop? Your vision of a future city might be built up by considering trends in relation to particular land uses or urban activities. You can attach degrees of probability to the likelihood of your prognoses being realized by a particular date. Above all, give your mind free rein.

For some examples, consider the following future urban scenarios:

1. In order to halt urban sprawl, a government directive requires all new urban buildings to provide as much useful space below ground as is occupied on the surface. Might this lead to the development of the ‘troglodyte city’?

2. The problems of growing urban traffic congestion result in the creation of a satellite-guided automated road management system in which vehicles are controlled centrally to maximize the use of urban road (and air) space. What might happen if the system crashed owing to a computer virus?

3. Shopping centers lie derelict owing to the switch to virtual shopping on the World Wide Web. Could this, in turn, lead to the revival of local supply networks comprising ‘market stalls’ selling organic non-genetically modified foods?

4. Might grow atmospheric pollution and increasing social polarisation drive the rich to abandon conventional cities in favor of enclosed climatically controlled domed cities segregated from the mass of urban society by a security system and ability to pay the annual ‘residence fee’?
