What you write about must be related to the subject matter of this class (US History To 1876) and not anything outside.

I want you to go back over the term and explain to me what were the two most important things you learned this semester. For each thing you learned, I want you to briefly describe what it was you learned (enough detail so I know you understood it properly), AND explain to me why you think its important to know about. That means you should be writing two paragraphs. And just know that your paragraphs should be more than 2-3 sentences, in fact, more than 4-5.
What you write about must be related to the subject matter of this class (US History To 1876) and not anything outside. The assignment is due by noon on Wednesday (I’ll need time to grade them). Though the assignment will show zero points, understand that the final score will simply be added to your other existing scores.

Make sure to cite relevant quotations from the readings in your reflection. Submit your reflection in PDF format using 1.5 spacing. Your submission should be 600 words +/- 10%. Cite your sources using APA format. You can find out more about citing your work and how to use the APA format

The Criminal Justice System

Historically, police executives have sought to distance themselves from police misconduct as a form of political survival. Rather than addressing the true causes, they seek quick fixes. Quick fixes serve as a catalyst for police misconduct and encourage only a narrow investigative focus, as opposed to exploring systemic problems.
As the supervisor of the internal affairs division within your police department, the chief has charged you with the responsibility of reviewing the department’s procedures regarding the investigation, determination, and recommended strategies that are related to officer misconduct.
Assignment Guidelines

What do you see as the major challenges facing police executives in the 21st century? Explain in detail.
What suggestions do you recommend for overcoming the “code of silence” that permeates all levels of the department? Explain.
What role, if any, does organizational culture play? Explain.

Shakespeare

Write a reflection essay based on the following prompt: In pastoral literature, the countryside is not simply a place. Rather, it takes on symbolic weightfor it reflects certain dreams and values of the author. What does the Forest of Arden symbolize in As You Like It? (There are various possible answers to this question, so you only need to offer a plausible interpretation.) 250+ words (not including direct quotations)

Just be sure to provide specific examples to prove your points.

The Example

The Forest of Arden in As You Like It by William Shakespeare is classified as a work belonging to pastoral literature. In pastoral literature, the countryside is not only a place, but it reflects the beliefs and values of the author. In As You Like It, the Forest of Arden symbolizes a place of rest, reflection, and rebirth. Within the play, many characters, such as Duke Senior, Orlando, and Rosalind find themselves in the forest at one point. While they are there, they each learn something new about themselves. Duke Senior realizes his inner strength and knowledge while in the forest and enjoys learning while in the peace and quiet. Orlando sacrifices his own image for an old man and proves to be a truly kind man in the forest. Rosalind explores how her own thoughts and actions affect those around her while in the woods. She takes the time there to
decide what she wants to do with her life.
Shakespeare used the forest as a place for the characters to reflect and escape from the fast-paced life of the court. This suggests that Shakespeare believed in the need for simplicity and personal growth. The inclusion of the two settings, the country, and the court, shows that Shakespeare believed in the idea of separating himself from others to focus inward. By includingThe Forest of Arden in the play, Shakespeare perhaps showed some of the beliefs he held for his own personal life by adding this setting. The Forest of Arden is a place where the average day in the court did not exist. This allowed for personal and spiritual growth among the characters.

Safety Culture

Introduction
It is important to realize that only investigating accidents is a narrow approach in the tradition of fly-crash-fix-fly. There are often dozens if not hundreds of incidents and near misses that could provide valuable information for improving safety. However, if people are not reporting them for fear of punitive action, or if the organization emphasis is too heavy on production and profit and not safety, these opportunities for change can slip through our fingers.
Instructions
Read the Prologue and Epilogue from the SMS text and Safety Culture Environment on page 28. Consider the aspects of a safety culture and identify specific actions taken by the SMS team in the Quest Airlines scenario. How did they create a safety culture and how did it help in improving safety? Finally, review the events of the Colgan and Alaska accidents. Can you identify any aspects of a safety culture on a personal or organizational level? Would a safety culture have influenced the outcome in these accidents? Discuss how the end result may have been different and why, and what the airlines could do to enrich their safety culture.
Grading
Your response should be at least 500 words in length. This assignment is worth 50 points and will be graded according to the following rubric:
15 Points – Identify at least three specific actions that illustrate QALs ongoing effort to encourage their safety culture.
15 Points – Explain how the safety culture at QAL will improve their overall safety.
15 Points – Discuss the Colgan and Alaska accidents reviewed in previous assignments. How and why might a safety culture have changed the outcome of each accident? Identify at least one specific action the airlines could take to encourage their safety culture.
5 Points – Your response is well written and free of any significant grammatical or spelling errors.
