Please read the story:
The other day Jessica had simply had enough of the irritating communication style of her co-worker, Vincent. They work in the same office area so they are exposed to each others’ conversations on a regular basis. From Jessica’s perspective, Vincent is uncooperative, argumentative, and negative. In department meetings, Jessica has let everyone know that she doesn’t like this type of communication but her experience is that Vincent eventually starts up again. This time, Jessica raised her voice to Vincent and let him have it by shouting at him.

Even an issue that Jessica had said a year ago had been resolved to her satisfaction came out as a grievance. It’s a few weeks later and the two of them have only spoken when they could absolutely not avoid it. Jessica knows in her heart that nothing will shift unless she tries to make amends, but she hasn’t brought herself to break the ice. In the meantime, they are both miserable at work.

Answer question :
Explain what the crucial conversation is that needs to happen here:
a) from Jessica’s perspective:

b) from Vincent’s perspective

Stage 2: Annotated Bibliography
For this assignment, you will gather information for your paper. Construct an annotated bibliography consisting of five sources. All of your sources should be from the UMGC library and be useful to your topic, reliable, and scholarly in nature.
Your list of sources must include:
At least one primary source. This can be your interview, your field visit, your observation etc. Some examples include an interview with someone knowledgeable about your topic, or a painting or literary work you are examining, or an observation of the rite or holiday you are studying (depending on what you chose).Make sure you cite it correctly according to MLA style.
At least one secondary resource that addresses interpretative methods for comparative mythology, ritual, sacred place, material culture, or myth and history that you will use in your paper. This source can be from the Learning Resources, but you are encouraged to find additional resources from the thinkers covered in the entire course, including week 8.
For each of the five entries in your bibliography, your annotation should be about 4-5 sentences long and include:
A citation for the reference in MLA format
A brief summary of the source, including at least two main points it makes
A comment on how it is useful to your project.
Note: You must use your own words for the annotation. Please do not use library summaries, and avoid using auto-paraphrasing tools.
Sample entry
Andrew R. Bahlmann. The Mythology of the Superhero. McFarland, 2016. EBSCOhost, search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=nlebk&AN=1221891&site=eds-live&scope=site.
This book explores the heroic journey of superheroes in popular culture, loosely basing its framework for the superhero on the heroic monomyth and introducing a long list of common tropes for superheroes which includes things like agelessness, alter-egos, their no killing code, and orphan status. Chapters cover analyses of the Green Lantern, Buffy Summers, the Alphas and Beowulf. Bahlmann argues in his final chapter that superheroes are our modern mythology and that this modern mythology needs to be codified in order to understand the popular imagination. This book will be useful to my project because it offers some tools to interpret and discuss the connections between ancient myth and modern superheroes in film.
Format: Submit this as a Word document. There is no set length for an annotated bibliography, but you should expect it to be about a page and a half to two pages in length. The text of the essay should be typed, double-spaced, and use a common 12 pt. font like Times New Roman or Calibri.

Below will be the instructiosn of the esssay, It will be a research paper on brainwashing, with social psychology terms, vocabulary, and at least half of the sources have to be based on social psychology.
Length of paper: 14 pages of written content [the title page and the reference pages do not count]
Format: Double-space, 1-inch margins all sides, 12 point Times New Roman font, left justified, appropriate indenting, centering, etc. Make sure not to have extra spacing (in Word, under ‘page layout’ and spacing, make sure left, right, top, bottom are set to zero).
Do NOT intentionally include additional spaces between paragraphs or on the top of the page.
Remember: citing and reference pages need to be in APA style so make sure all the basic information is included.
VERY important to watch out for plagiarism and keep in mind that it doesn’t just refer to cut-and-pasting but also to using too much of someone else’s words in your writing. Keep re-reading your paper and if something doesn’t sound like you, it most likely isn’t. Suspected plagiarism will be dealt with according to policy. You also cannot submit a paper you’ve written for another class or include major portions of it for this class. Make sure you do original research on the social psychological topic you select. The psychology department has embedded the use of “Turnitin” to help authenticate work; you will be able to submit as many drafts as you want and can look at the feedback to help you finalize your paper. I will only be grading the FINAL version submitted closest to the deadline.
Include a title page which has the title of the paper, your name, course title, my name and term or date. Do not include an ‘abstract’ or any figures or tables for this paper. Start writing your paper right away on page 2 (don’t put your name or add additional wasted lines). Use APA style subheadings as needed and make sure you have logical flow from topic to topic. Conclude your document with a reference page(s) at the end (title the page “References” and alphabetically list your references in APA style). Again, keep in mind that the title page and the references do not count toward the 14 page limit for content.
Seek out some journals that have “social psychology” in their titles so that you don’t veer off too much into other areas of psychology.

Develop a response to the following questions. Ensure you have answered all questions completely. Complete this assignment using complete sentences in a paragraph format, and be sure to check your spelling when complete.
Humans have benefited from an overall warmer climate over the past millennia. However, among the majority of scientists there is deep concern over the changes in climate as a result of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide. Many scientists and non-scientists advocate a rapid shift to energy sources that contribute less carbon dioxide and methane to the atmosphere. (Note: Methane is also a greenhouse gas, its effects on atmospheric warming are greater per molecule, but the warming effects do not last as long). Conversely, there are many politicians and a few scientists who do not think that carbon dioxide emission is a threat to the planet. Some of these people refute the claim of human activity being responsible for change in climate and point to how climate has always fluctuated throughout the life of planet Earth.
1. Locate a recent (last 2 years) news article related to climate change. Please pick a substantial article, not a short note/news flash, or you will not have enough material to work with to successfully answer the questions. Post the title and source immediately on discussion board so that others do not choose the same article.
2. Summarize the article:
In your summary, be sure to address whether the article is consistent with the view of most scientists, maintains a point of view that climate change either is not occurring or is not important, or makes some effort to “balance” these.
Take a position like the reviewers of the articles you read on the health-news site for Discussion 1. Use their criteria and evaluate the chosen article for journalistic credibility (if you have chosen an actual publication from a peer-reviewed journal then you will evaluate for scientific credibility).
3. What are the major human activities that contribute to carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere?
4. What is the key difference between past climate change on our planet and current climate change on our planet.
5. Which of the many potential negative effects of rapid climate change do you believe will have the greatest economic costs in the U.S.? Which things will have the greatest economic costs in less developed regions of the world?
6. Science can help us understand what is occurring in our bodies and on our planet. What will be done in response to the science depends on political will, and at least to some extent in the Western world, to public opinion. Consider how we allot federal and state resources to disease prevention or cure and use this idea to come up with 5 key things you think our country should do now in response to the current science of climate change. Consider how these funding allotments might affect you now, versus how doing or not doing these things might affect your grandchildren in 20 or 30 years.

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY ANALYSIS ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONSOVERVIEWThe purpose of this assignment is to evaluate a particular
educational philosophy that has influenced educational development throughout
history. The educational philosophy will be evaluated in consideration of
opposing views. Students may choose to analyze one of the following educational
philosophies: essentialism, existentialism, idealism, pragmatism,
progressivism, and realism. As students research and conduct the analysis, they
demonstrate knowledge of educational philosophies of the past, discuss the historical
context surrounding the educational philosophy, critically analyze the
educational philosophy, relate the educational philosophy to their own
educational beliefs and its relevance for today’s education and classrooms.
INSTRUCTIONSThis paper is based on the topic you selected
from the choices listed in the overview for this assignment and should be in
current APA format.Please note that this paper is not a personal philosophy of
education and no previously submitted assignment can be submitted for this
educational analysis paper.Length: This paper is to be at least 5 pages in
length from the introductory paragraph to the conclusion. This does not count
the title page, abstract, or reference pages. Citations and References: Cite a
minimum of seven sources throughout the paper and list them on the reference
page. Of the five sources, one of them is required to be the course textbook. A
minimum of three scholarly sources must be included in the section to
critically analyze the educational philosophy. Other sources may include
academic journal articles, books, and textbooks from other courses. Structure:
You have a great deal of latitude in how the paper is structured, but it should
follow a logical progression of thought and the guidelines below. See the rubric
for required elements.1. Title Page·Pagination: In APA, all pages are numbered. The
title page should be page 1.·Title: The title should not be the name of the assignment (i.e.,
Educational Philosophy Analysis). It should be related to the early educational
pioneer that you have selected. The first letter of all words should be
capitalized except for articles (e.g. a, an, the), conjunctions (e.g., and,
but), and short prepositions (e.g., of, about), unless they appear as the first
word, which is always capitalized. Center and bold your title and position it
near the middle of the page or slightly above the middle.
EDUC 604·Other Information on Title Page: All other information on the
title page should comply with current APA requirements. 2. Abstract: The heading of the abstract should
be centered and in bold font.·Place the abstract at the top of a page by itself after the title
page.·Do not indent the first line.·The abstract is a brief, comprehensive summary
of the contents of the paper. It should present the main ideas and main
conclusions/implications. Including the main ideas and conclusions in the
abstract is much more important than a simple outline of the structure or
headings. 3. Introduction: Do not use
the word “Introduction” as a heading for this section. ·The purpose of the introductory paragraph is
different from that of the abstract. Do not simply copy the abstract.·In this section, introduce your thesis statement
that will be developed throughout the paper. It is the main idea you are
presenting. Save other supporting ideas for the body of the manuscript. Do not
overload the introductory paragraph with too many concepts that distract from
the key point of the thesis statement. ·It is best to place the thesis statement at the end of the
introductory paragraph. It is typically one or two sentences that serve as a
transition into the rest of the paper. Some writers choose to place it as the
first sentence of the introduction. Either option is acceptable as long as the
introduction is well written and has a logical progression of thought. 4. Summary and Historical Context: Centered in
bold with all major words capitalized, enter the first Level 1 heading of your
paper. (Level 2 headings are unnecessary for this short of a paper.) Use the
words “Summary and Historical Context.” ·This brief section describes/summarizes the topic you have chosen
so the reader understands the setting in which the topic developed. This is a
succinct presentation of events or circumstances that may have influenced the
topic. ·Include transitions that build a logical
progression from the thesis statement in the introductory paragraph into the
topic and its historical context.5.
Critical Analysis: This Level 1 heading should be formatted the same as
the previous one. Use the words “Critical Analysis.” This section should
reflect various perspectives about the topic, including your own. 6. Comparison of Educational Philosophy with
Personal Educational Beliefs: This Level 1 heading should be formatted the same
as the previous one. Use the words “Comparison of Educational Philosophy with
Personal Educational Beliefs.” This section should compare your personal
beliefs about education to the educational philosophy you have selected.
EDUC 6047. Implication for Today’s Education and
Classroom: This Level 1 heading should be formatted the same as the previous
one. Use the words “Implication for Today’s Education and Classroom.” This
section should discuss the implications for use of this educational philosophy in
America’s educational system and today’s classrooms.8. Conclusion: Use the same Level 1 formatting
as you have done with your other headings above and enter the word
“Conclusion”in centered, bold font. Although your conclusion should include
concepts from the thesis statement in the introduction and should have some
alignment with the title of the paper, you should not simply restate the thesis
statement. Wrap up the paper by emphasizing your main idea and draw a clear
conclusion. Typically, a good conclusion does not introduce new information.
The conclusion is where you are to discuss implications about what you have
already shared and relate ideas to current educational issues.9. References: Starting at the top of the next
page after the end of the manuscript, center in bold font the heading
“References.” ·Double-space everything throughout your paper, including the
reference page. Do not insert additional extra lines/spaces. ·Using a hanging indent, which means that the
first line of every reference is left-justified with all other lines of the
reference indented. ·Follow the format below for books. Only initials are used for the
author’s first and middle names. See the APA manual for examples of multiple
authors, editors, etc.Authorlastname, A. B. (2019). Book title in italics with
only the first word and proper nouns, like Christian, capitalized: If there is
a subtitle, the first word is capitalized. Publisher.·Follow the format below for journalarticles.
Both the journal title and the volume number are italicized. There is no space
between the volume and issue numbers. (Sometimes, the source provides no issue
number. If that is the case, simply place a comma after the italicized volume
number.) Page numbers are last without “p.” or “pg.” before them.Authorlastname,
A. B. (2019). Article title in regular font with only the first word and proper
nouns, like European, capitalized: Subtitles may or may not be used. Journal
Titles Capitalize All Major Words Except for the Articles, Conjunctions, and Short
Prepositions, 15(2), 41-50. https://URL (make sure the URL is hyperlinked)
EDUC 604Miscellaneous Tips First-Person
Pronouns: Per the APA manual, first-person pronouns are permitted. However,
they should rarely be used and are intended only for conveying an incident
about your life story (e.g., “I was born into poverty”) or explaining the
actions you took as a researcher (e.g., “I conducted focus groups with
participants.”) A good writer makes strong declarative statements in
third-person plural (e.g., teachers, parents, leaders, etc.) in terms of
“ought”and “should” rather than overusing redundant statements such as “I
believe that,” “I think that,” “to me,” “for me,” etc. Almost always, sentences
are strengthened by simply omitting references to self. It is considered poor
writing to refer to yourself in third person (e.g., “this author”). It also may
confuse the reader because there are typically multiple authors being discussed
within a manuscript. Academic Integrity: This paper will be screened by plagiarism-checking
software, which reports to the professor the degree to which your paper is
similar to other works. The following tips will help you avoid issues with
plagiarism:·
Direct Quotes: No more than 15% of your paper should be made up of
direct quotes. Therefore, do more summarizing and paraphrasing than quoting.
Short quotes should be in quotation marks and longer quotes of 40-words or more
should be indented. If you do not set off direct quotes in this manner and/or
do not cite them, it is plagiarism. ·Ideas and Facts: If the idea or fact is not your own, you must
cite its source. When not directly quoting, summarize, or analyze the idea in
your own words

Reya Gonzales has offered to help out her best friend Manuela by watching her three children several afternoons each week. Manuela has had difficulty finding child care because her new job requires her to work on different days each week. Although she assured Reya this arrangement would only last a short time, two months have already passed. In the meantime, three of Manu-ela’s coworkers have also asked Reya to watch their children on a regular basis. As a result, Reya now has seven children ranging in age from 15 months to 7 years who are in her care four days a week. Their parents are grateful and pleased with Reya’s nurturing care. However, she fears the neighbors will report her to the local licensing agency or that the licensing authorities will soon discover her activities. Reya enjoys working with the children and has considered opening a child care business in her home. However, she is reluctant to contact the licensing agency because she has no formal training in early childhood and is unsure that her house and yard will pass the safety inspection. Reya also knows that her friends depend upon her for child care and could lose their jobs if they are unable to locate an affordable program with openings.
1. What advice would you offer to Reya regarding her options?

2. What steps could Reya take to improve her success in becoming licensed?

3. Do you think family child care programs should be licensed or registered? Explain your position.

4. If Reya is unable to meet all of the state licensing standards during the initial inspection, should her child care activities be stopped? Why or why not?

Reminder, this should be written in essay format. Simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ responses will result in deduction of points.
