FORMATTING REQUIREMENTS

Students are expected to write in proper essay format. This means that you are required to write using full, complete sentences (i.e., no bullet points) and properly formatted paragraphs. A paragraph is usually three or more sentences in length and probably not more than nine or ten. A paragraph may, however, be only one sentence or it may constitute several pages of sentences. Be certain that your paragraphing is appropriate for the ordering and impact of your thoughts. If you are uncertain, consult a writing guide.

The maximum word count for this assignment is 500 words. All written assignments in this course will adhere to a ‘10% rule’, meaning that if you are 10% under or over the word count limit, marks will not be deducted from your assignment. Your title, name, sub-titles (should you choose to use them), and reference list do not count towards your word limit; however, in-text citations and essay text do count within the 500-word limit. Please use 1-inch margins (i.e., the default margin setting on Microsoft Word); double space; and use a standard, 12-point, black font, such as Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri.

Students are welcome to use as many resources as needed to sufficiently support their arguments with scholarly evidence. The following is a list of credible sources that are acceptable to consult in this course:

Academic, peer-reviewed journal articles and books (you can use the Western Library website, Google Scholar, and/or consult a librarian to help you locate these resources)
Our course textbook, Human Geography

Write a paper on “Why are racial minority groups less likely to get a COVID-19 vaccination than their white counterparts?”

1. Describe the physical landscape in which most of the movie unfolds. A physical landscape is anything that is not made or changed by man (e.g. mountains).
2. Is it possible that the movie was actually shot elsewhere than the country it is supposed to represent? Why or why not?
Cultural Geography:
1. Describe the cultural landscape in which most of the movie unfolds. A cultural landscape is any physical feature altered by man (=anthropogenic feature). For example, high rises in city or old houses narrowly set together.
2. Explain the historical context in which the story takes place. This involves some research on the background of a particular country/region. Provide as detailed a map as you can of the region/country where the events unfold.
3. What is the general theme of the movie and what does that have to do with cultural geography? I am ABSOLUTELY NOT interested in reading pasted and copied material. Keep this short, two or three sentences suffice.
Cultural Traits:
Which cultural traits were you able to spot that were used to signify the culture(s) of the movie? This should be done by identifying cultural elements as there are:
a. artifacts (= objects, e.g. mud houses or chopsticks, helping to identify a particular culture)
b. sociofacts (= social institutions, e.g. schools, marriage, or things denoting social rank, e.g. big house, big diamond ring etc.)
c. mentifacts (=ideologies, values of a society including ideas, philosophies, religion and langague).
1. List at minimum five (5) different but important artifacts indicative of the culture(s) portrayed.
2. List at minimum five (5) sociofacts (anything that can be related to societal ranking, institutions) that are associated with the culture(s) portrayed (usually easy to find in the movie);
3. List at minimum three (3) mentifacts (mental constructs, ideas, ideologies, philosophy, religion) that are associated with the culture(s) portrayed
AND
Elaborate on those artifacts, sociofacts and mentifacts (e.g. the culture of the rebels in ‘Blood Diamond’ is a sociofact; members have to adhere to strict laws or there are unpleasant consequences). This is the most important aspect of this exercise so please go into detail.
Elements not Fitting: Were there any elements that did not quite fit into the movie (like camels in South Africa, lions in Japan, I am exaggerating, of course).
Opinion:
Your opinion of the movie as a whole. Was it worth watching? Did you learn something new about the culture?

NOTE FROM PROFESSOR:
How to write a successful movie analysis:
Be smart about your choice. Start early so you have a choice. Before you get the movie make sure that you like the topic. All movies listed are considered very good movies so they have quite some entertainment value. Check out on the internet what might be of interest to you: if you are interested in indigenous people in New Zealand, watch Whale Rider; if you are interested in the formation of Israel, watch Exodus.

Look closely at the landscape as you watch the movie. What kind of landscape is it: desert, prairie or wheat fields–ask yourself how the landscape affects the movie? This goes back to environmental determinism and possibilism.

Really do not just look for one or two artifacts, sociofacts, mentifacts–look for more. Each movie will have many such …facts. This is the core of your analysis looking at culture with these tools. The more you can come up with the better.

Often it makes sense to watch the movie with or without family and friends for enjoyment and then to discuss it with whoever was there. After that it might be beneficial to watch some scenes over again. Also, the DVD’s give sometimes some good information on how the movie was made. In addition there is the internet which will help with deciding whether the movie was shot elsewhere or not but it won’t decide for you whether it COULD be shot elsewhere. That’s for you to decide.

Write a Research Report on How SUV’s affects environment.

Define an HMO and list the four main models of organization. Also, define a PPO and the major models of organization. How do HMO and PPOs differ from each other? Perform an internet search and list three HMO organizations and three PPO organizations. Summarize their mission, vision, and copy/paste each weblink into your summary.
Be sure that you utilize correct citations (APA style). DO NOT copy/paste from websites or other material. YOU MUST properly cite your sources. You have the potential to receive a 0 for this assignment if you copy/paste

Essay questions should be well thought out.

Essay 1: Consider the concepts of racism, prejudice, and discrimination.
Provide a definition of each of these.

Provide at least one historical or contemporary example of each of these.
Explain how/why the example you selected for each concept is demonstrative of the concept.

Essay 2: Explain what is meant by the term “Black Matriarchy.” Explain why the “Black
Matriarchy” has garnered so much attention in the study of Black families.

Explain how the Khmer Rouge tribunal define crimes in the killing fields of Cambodia?

Write a report (Nb double spaced) that describes and critically evaluates the contribution it makes to your understanding of a topic with which you are concerned (e.g. Indigenous education, technology education, vocational/work education, politics/ideology and curriculum, teacher evaluation, teaching/learning, violence in schools, wellbeing etc.,). When you write your report, the following guidelines may help:

• How would you describe the content, organization, structure?
• For what purpose(s) was it developed?
• Who sponsors it?
• Who is the intended audience (e.g. general public, academics, policy makers, women, etc.)
• What links does it have with other websites and are they relevant/useful?
• What language(s) does it use?
• Did you learn anything of significance from this website?
• Did it help you understand an issue/topic better?
• What ideological or political views does it subscribe to (either implicit or explicit)*?
• What are its major strengths or weaknesses?
• What questions are you left with following your exploration fo the site?
Nb please make sure you reference your text where necessary using APA or another recognised citation system.

What are Trini’s symptoms of anxiety that she describes and what diagnosis seems most likely?
Discuss your observations about her presentation.
Describe the intensity and duration of her worry. Given the intensity and duration of her worry, how might she be affected if she goes untreated?
Describe the technique that the therapist uses to address Trini’s anxiety.
If you were a therapist in this case, what therapeutic modality would you use to treat their disorder (e.g., cognitive-behavioral, person centered, family systems)? Use 2-3 scholarly sources to support your answer. If you have not taken a theories course, choose one theory from the above list and summary the articles.
Are there any specific diversity variables for Trini that might impact her diagnosis, treatment, or prognosis? Use 1-2 scholarly sources to support your response based on at least one of these variables.
