milgram study 1964

This is one of the most famous studies in the history of psychology. It was done in the early 1960s. The study was designed to determine if average people would harm another person just because an authority figure told them to do so. Read the study. Did the results surprise you? Why or why not? What did the results of this study tell you about human beings? If you were doing the study, what might you have done differently? Do you think that if the study was done today, the results would be the same? Why or why not? Did you think that this was an ethical study? Why or why not? This is an analysis that requires research beyond just reading the attached article. You must show researched support for your assertions. Please review the rubric below, which will show the requirements for a successful paper.
Just so you know, no one was actually shocked in this study. The study was completely about the people who thought they were shocking other people. The people who were supposedly being shocked were actors pretending to be shocked. The paper should be 4-5 pages and in APA format. The 4-5 pages do NOT include the title page or reference page. This is an opportunity to demonstrate solid critical thinking. The article is below.

Film Analysis Essay Assignment

1. The film analysis essay must have a clear introduction. The introduction should contain an attention-getter; a statement of topic (e.g. “This analysis is about The Waterboy.”); a statement of purpose (e.g. to inform, to persuade or to entertain); a thesis that makes a judgment about the value of the film for what it teaches us about communication; and a preview of your main ideas (the 3-5 key concepts or theories you’ll cover).
2. The body of the essay should be paragraphed to reflect your main ideas. Do not simply summarize or write a ‘book report’ of the plot of the film. Instead, your main ideas and supporting ideas should be chosen and organized to demonstrate your understanding of 3 – 5 key concepts or theories from this unit. Link the key concepts or theories to scenes from the film, and cite your text as you do so. You should also make reference to one external source as you analyze the film. The external source can be about the film (actor or director interviews, plot summaries, encyclopedia entries) or about the interpersonal communication concept you are discussing (CommunicationTheory.org, Very Well Mind, Psychology Today, etc.). You need 3-5 concepts/theories from the list at the end of this page.
3. The essay should have a conclusion. Conclusions need a restatement of the thesis and purpose from the introduction, a review of the main ideas, and a closing statement. A suggestion for thinking about how to conclude a paper is to answer the question “So What?” In other words, how can this film/concept help me/others in our relationships or communication behaviors?
4. The entire essay should be a minimum of 600 words.
5. Your essay should include (as a separate page) a Words Cited page with the textbook, the film, and at least one additional source you used to support your analysis. Use MLA format.
6. Give your essay the following header:
[Your name]
eCore COMM 1100
[Date]
[Film title]
Key Concepts/Theories (your essay should clearly address 3 – 5 of these as seen in the Film):
Interpersonal conflict
Managing Emotions
Self –Disclosure
Social Judgment Theory
Social Comparison Theory
Family Rituals
Stages of Relationship Development – Romantic
Stages of Relationship Development – Friendship
Gender Norms and Impact on Relationships
Managing Cultural Differences in Relationships
Love Display
Identity Management Strategies
Social Exchange Theory
Select from one of the following classic or contemporary films for the film analysis:
The film list below, updated in 2020, includes Romantic Comedies, Dramas, and relationship-driven films. Some are fairly new and some are several decades old. You are not required to view all of these films. You are only required to choose one of these films to inform your essay. Some of the films below will have profanity, mention or use of alcohol or drugs, sex or sexually suggestive content, or violence. If something on this list is not your preferred genre, content, rating, or style – don’t pick that one for your analysis!

To analyze a problem and possibly provide a solution

Assignment Instructions
This analysis project requires you to tackle a problem within your field of study by first exploring it, its causes, and its impacts. Then, if you want, you can recommend one or more practical solutions to solve the problem.

After deciding on the problem you wish to tackle, begin building questions about it. Your goal for the analysis is to answer the questions through your sources. Finding multiple angles and perspectives is ideal so that you explore those possibilities in the final paper before settling on your recommendation. Be sure to identify what is at stake.
Here are questions to help guide your analysis:
What is the problem being addressed (explain, describe, and “prove” that it exists)?
Who is affected by this problem?
Why does this problem exist (identify the root causes)?
Why does the problem persist (identify the major factors that contribute to the problem’s ongoing presence)?
What is at stake if the problem is not solved?
If you decide to include a solution, use these questions to guide you:
Who can take action?
What should they do, exactly?
Why would this help?
What are the positive and negative aspects of your solution(s)?
PURPOSE: To analyze a problem and possibly provide a solution
AUDIENCE: Classmates, others interested in the field
LENGTH: 900 – 1,000 words (Times New Roman font). Please do not go significantly under or above the word count requirement.
SOURCES: 5 (five) sources from the APUS Library (These may include sources you used in previous assignments. Going under this number will cost points in grading.)
FORMAT: The citation style that is appropriate for your discipline

Review: NCI Trial Complexity Elements & Scoring Model

Review: NCI Trial Complexity Elements & Scoring Model
This model was developed to identify common components of a clinical trial protocol that could, depending on their complexity, impact the workload of clinical trial personnel, which could impact the resource costs at the clinical site. Familiarize yourself with the trial elements and how each scoring level (i.e. standard, moderate, and high) is defined for each element.
Respond to the following questions:
Can you identify any other clinical trial protocol elements, not currently listed, that could have an impact on the workload of clinical trial staff at an investigative site? Justify your answer.
Should consideration also be given to the level of skill, knowledge, and experience of the clinical trial personnel (e.g. Investigator, Clinical Research Associate, Research Nurse, etc.) at an investigative site? Explain your answer.
Should this scoring model be used to assess elements of clinical trial complexity more than once during the conduct of the clinical trial? Why or why not?

bomb over Japan

The Abstract for the Historiographical Research Paper
The research paper involves you choosing to defend one School of Thought on whether the atomic bombs were necessary to force Japan’s surrender. You will compare your chosen School of Thought against another School of Thought and prove why your perspective makes the most sense. Choose from the list of articles.
Your abstract will be a short summary of your research paper. The abstract should have an intro, body and conclusion. It is a well-developed paragraph, should be exact in wording, and must be understandable to a wide audience. Abstracts should be between 150-250 words (1-2 paragraphs), formatted in Microsoft Word, and single-spaced, using size 12 Times New Roman font.
Your abstract should give me the gist of your paper, quickly. It should prepare me to follow the detailed information, analyses, and arguments in your full paper.
Your thesis statement should be in your abstract. Your thesis statement should state your position unequivocally. It should contain three points that you will be arguing. Ask yourself the question, “What am I trying to prove?”
· If you choose the Orthodox School, you will argue 3 points that prove Truman had to drop the atomic bombs over Japan to end the war.
· If you choose the Revisionist School, you will argue 3 points that the atomic bombs were unnecessary to Japan’s surrender.
· If you choose the Post-Revisionist School, you will argue 3 points that it was Russia’s entry into the War that caused Japan to surrender.
Your thesis statement should begin by stating what you are proving, followed by your three main points.
Example: “This paper will prove…”
You three points should be taken directly from the articles. The video is not necessary to watch, but it is recommended to help you understand the arguments.
Schools of Thought
Orthodox School of Thought: Orthodox views of the Cold War emerged among historians in the United States and other Western nations in the early 1950s. This perspective is also known as the ‘Traditional view’. Truman had to drop the atomic bombs to end the Pacific War.
Orthodox historians: Richard Frank and Robert Maddox.
Revisionist School of Thought: The term historical revisionism identifies the re-interpretation of an historical account It usually involves challenging the views held by professional scholars about a historical event or time-span or phenomenon, introducing contrary evidence, or reinterpreting the motivations and decisions of the people involved. The revisionist make the allegation that the atomic bombs were used by Truman as a type of diplomacy against the Soviets. Truman did not have to drop the atomic bombs to end the Pacific War, because Japan was ready to surrender.
Revisionist Historians: Gar Alperovitz and Robert Jay Lifton
Post-Revisionist School of Thought: The revisionist interpretation produced a critical reaction of its own. In a variety of ways, “post-revisionist” scholarship before the fall of Communism challenged earlier works on the origins and course of the Cold War.
During the period, “post-revisionism” challenged the “revisionists” by accepting some of their findings, but rejecting most of their key claims. Post-Revisionists challenge the notions that the Japanese were ready to surrender before Hiroshima and that the atomic bombings were primarily intended to intimidate the Soviet Union. They also question traditionalist claims that the U.S. faced a choice between dropping the bomb and an invasion, and that an invasion would lead to hundreds of thousands of American casualties, so essentially. Truman did not have to drop the atomic bombs to end the Pacific War.
Post-Revisionist historians: Barton Bernstein and Tsuyoshi Hasegawa
