 Robert Sternberg’s (1987) Triangular Theory of Love proposed three different building blocks that combine to form different types of love. These three ‘building blocks’ are: Intimacy, passion and commitment. With the types of love that are described in “Intimate Relationships”- share one example where each building block is assessed as high. So, you will be sharing three examples- one for intimacy, one for passion and one for commitment. Please be sure to share what is desirable and non- desirable about the particular types of love you use for your examples. 300 words

Similarities and differences

/in /by

I’m trying to study for my Management course and I need some help to understand this question.

Similarities and Differences

In chapter 1 of the text (Dean et al, 2012), the authors begin by discussing the importance of establishing objectives and providing feedback to students. They state that when teachers establish and communicate objectives for student learning, students can see more easily the connection between classroom activities and expectations for student learning. In short, it is like seeing a map before taking a journey and finding out where one is going and how one will get there. But, many teachers have difficulty developing objectives because objectives are often too general (vague) or too specific (not general enough). In addition, objectives need to be on a continuum; that is they need to connect between prior and future learnings in order to make sense of the journey. The key is to be able to write “tight and descriptive” objectives that help students make connections with what is being taught.

In chapter 8 of the text, Identifying Similarities and Differences (Dean et al, 2012), the authors explain in detail the importance of students being able to identify similarities and differences, which helps make sense of the world. “These strategies help move students from existing knowledge to new knowledge, concrete to abstract, and separate to connected ideas” (p. 119).

Four definitions of practices within similarities and differences begin on page 118: comparing, classifying, creating metaphors, and creating analogies. The text gives examples of tools to assist teachers in helping students understanding similarities and differences, including Venn Diagrams, a comparison matrix, and graphic organizers.

Imagine yourself in a classroom as the principal observing an extended lesson in similarities and differences. You observe four separate lessons, one each in comparing, classifying, creating metaphors, and creating analogies. Prior to the observation, you have asked for a brief lesson plan for each lesson, which would begin with the objectives, followed by an explanation of how each of these topics will be taught.

Pick a subject and the grade level you teach or have taught in the past. Obtain four brief example lesson plans. Each lesson plan should include objectives (not too general or specific), followed by the lessons for comparing, classifying, creating metaphors, or creating analogies. You may use lesson plans from your current district or from other sources. After each lesson, summarize the key behaviors, strategies or tools you would expect to observe while in the classroom.

Support your statements with evidence from the required studies and your research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style.

Write a 10-page Research Paper about comparison of Drug abuse between New York and Shanghai

/in /by

I need help with a Writing question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

Topic:

For the paper, select one city, which would be Shanghai and focus on one particular problem, which is Drug Abuse, and compare the situation to that in New York with the overall goal to show what both cities can learn from each other in ways to alleviate or overcome such problems. To properly structure your paper, address the following issues:

  1. Write a concise introduction that identifies the urban problem of your choice and why addressing it is an important task (–> generate interest!)
  2. Describe the nature and extent of this problem in comparative perspective comparing the situation in New York City with that in the city of your choice (–> establish a basis and rationale for the comparison)
  3. Delineate the main similarities and differences between the cities and what they imply for potential solutions for such problems; (–> provide an analysis and link to solutions!)
  4. Outline possible solutions to the urban problem you have presented; (–> move from theory to action!)
  5. Conclude by stating what both cities can learn from one another (–> lead out of the topic)

The paper (written portion) should be at least 10 pages in length, excluding bibliography, images, and title page;

The paper should be evenly spaced (1 1/2) with one inch margins and should contain page numbers;

You must use at least four references – reputable internet sources count as references; You are further encouraged to use illustrations (i.e. tables, maps, pictures) whenever feasible.

I need help with this question.

Reflect on the inflation rate of 13.29% of December 1979 and discuss the very rapid growth in money supply due to the recent expansionary policy. Will it lead to high inflation or not? What in MV = PY will change? Are the pessimists or optimists more likely to be correct? Why? What will be the rate of inflation for this year 2015, by the time we get to December 31?

We now know that it can be difficult to quantify human behaviors and human communication.  We also know that we need to have excellent observation and listening skills as a researchers of human communication and behaviors.  Ideally, communication researchers should be objective and unbiased.  All research should be objective and unbiased.

Can observational studies be truly free of bias? Why or why not?

Discussion paper

Can you help me understand this Sociology question?

Requirements: The discussion paper must be at least two pages in length (double-spaced, 12-inch Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins).

I also want to emphasize that this is NOT a research paper. You should not use outside sources or attempt to do research to write this paper. Simply refer to the case below, the ACM code of ethics (link included)

Consider the following scenario:

You have been working for the for XYZ Corporation as a entry-level software engineer since you graduated from college last May. You have done very well so far; you are respected by the management team, and well liked by your fellow engineers. You were just assigned to a team of engineers that has consistently worked on the most critical and valued projects and contracts for XYZ Corp. XYZ Corp’s most recent contract involves a missile system for U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), and again you are assigned to the team that will develop the software for this project. However, you are strongly opposed to being a part of this project, because you have serious moral objections to the way the U.S. military has been killing civilians, through strikes in conflict zones, using this type of weapons system. Given recent statements from the DOD, you have no reason to believe the military will change the practices that cause these civilian deaths.
Your supervisor and coworkers, as well as upper management, are disappointed to learn of your strong feelings about the project. You are asked to reconsider your views, and are promised a bonus and substantial pay increase if you agree to work on this project during the next year. You also discover from a colleague that refusing to work on this project will greatly diminish your career advancement at XYZ Corp. and may make you vulnerable in the event of future layoffs. To compound matters, you and your spouse are expecting your first child in about 6 months, and you recently purchased a home.
What should you do in this case?

We have discussed professional codes of ethics, including the various functions these codes are intended to play. Codes of ethics provide members of a certain profession with guidelines for appropriate conduct and behavior within that profession. Perhaps a code of ethics for IT professionals can offer guidance about the ethically correct thing to do in this case above.

Provide a response to the following questions:
1) Review the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Code of Ethics & Professional Conduct: https://www.acm.org/code-of-ethics
Are there any elements of the Code that offer guidance as to whether you, as a software engineer, should or should not agree to work on the project? Explain.
2) Are there other parts of the Code that suggest the opposite answer? If so, how do you resolve this apparent conflict between different parts of the Code and what they tell you to do? Does the conflict render the Code useless (for purposes of making this decision), or is the Code still useful despite the conflicting guidance?
3) Utilitarianism and Deontology are more abstract ethical theories, while the Code offers more specific ethical guidelines that are supposed to be tailored to IT professionals in particular. However, does Utilitarianism or Deontology give you guidance about what to do in this case? Which of these theories better guides your decision? Do you find these more abstract ethical theories more or less helpful than ACM Code when making this decision? Why?

Eng 102 research paper 6-8 page (Three process-step one,three potential research topics)

/in /by

Post three potential research topics, ultimately you will have to choose one.  For each topic write one brief paragraph that explains your interest.  Then pose three research questions and a tentative thesis statement for each topic.  Create a thesis that takes a stand on an issue or offers insight, as opposed to merely presenting information.  Note the difference:

1.  The rainforest has several different types of plants.  (Informative)

2.  The United States government must play a greater role in protecting the rainforest.  (argumentative)

Finally, identify any possible sources at this point, such as books, journals, films, audio interviews, etc.  Please stay away from topics that are overly done, such as Abortion and the Death Penalty.

Please feel free to come back to the Research Paper Forum as often as possible to ask questions, offer peer feedback, and provide updates on your progress. 

Recommendation:  For inspiration, I encourage students to check out Ted.com and SIRS Researcher Database in the CCC online library.
