Data Acquisition and Duplication

I will add a powere point presentation as an outline that you can use. No need to worry about a cover page. You canuse the references provided or your own.
1. Use at least five references outside of your textbook (you may use your textbook too, but are not required to).
2. In addition to the required number of pages for the assignment, you must also include a reference page (bibliography), written in APA style, and a title page. Be sure to give all of your papers a descriptive title.
3. You must provide a 1-page outline of your paper by the end of Week 4. Your outline must include citations to three references (other than your textbook) and a brief summary of at least three references that you will use in your paper.
4. At Week 6 you will be working on a PowerPoint presentation highlighting the key points of the paper you are working on.
5. Use APA Style formatting in Arial 11 or 12-point font or Times New Roman styles.
6. Page margins Top, Bottom, Left Side and Right Side = 1 inch, with reasonable accommodation being made for special situations
7. Your paper must be in your own words, representing original work. Paraphrases of others’ work must include attributions to the authors. Limit quotations to an average of no more than 15% of the paper, and use quotations sparingly!

MECO6926 presentation handout

Ask the audience one or two questions at the end of your presentation

Our main discussion of Chinese Contraflows, starting from two aspects, screen and journalism, only need to write the screen part. One main article, and some extended supporting articles.

How would you explain Foucault’s concept of ‘biopower’ and why is it relevant today?

Structure of the Essay
At this stage of your learning process, it is a good idea to adopt a formal structure in your essay. For this assignment, make sure you articulate your discussion in the following way: a short Introduction, followed by two or three Sections, a Conclusion, and a proper Bibliography.
Introduction
After a brief introduction in which I expect you to introduce the relevant theme, you will need to state your argument (e.g., ‘given the problem or issue implicit in the title, I contend that …’), and briefly offer the reader with some guidance on what you will be doing in the essay (e.g., ‘in order to demonstrate my argument, I will first look at… Then I will … Finally, I conclude that…).
Argumentation (two or three sections)
After the Introduction, the essay sections will allow you to develop your argument. A critical stance is here essential for enhancing the quality of your essay. Do your best to be analytical and not just descriptive. You might want to articulate your answer (that is, your main argument) through a number of claims (or sub-arguments). I recommend posing one claim for each section. For instance, if your title is about the role of ethnicity in the politics of the region and your argument is that ethnicity hinders national loyalty, you will need to divide your argument in sub-arguments which will all contribute to defend and develop your hypothesis (e.g, Section 1 will first look at how ethnicity is constructed and the type of loyalty it enables…); Section 2 will further develop your argument by looking at national loyalty and showing how it differs from ethnic belonging).
Remember: a good essay is one that engages critically and analytically with the essay title. In this direction, make sure you are able to identify pros and cons for each claim in your sections. Do not just discuss your claims, but account for the cons: imagine the objections that some authors (and readers!) might have in relation to specific claims, and try to list and account for those possible objections in your discussion (this is a good way to highlight tensions among the authors and engage critically with the literature).
AM- 1
Conclusion
You will finally reprise your main points and show the force of your argument. If you have suggestions or ideas for future works which could follow from your essay, this is a good place where to put them.

Bibliography
This is where you list all the academic articles, books, websites you have used in your essay. Whether you have used in-text referencing or endnotes, your quotes and referenced material will all need to be listed here. Do not include items that you have not expressly used and referenced in your essay.
REFERENCING
A wide range of sources must be used (at least 10 references), and referencing must be complete and accurate. In answering your question, make sure you engage with the required reading connected to title and the related weekly topic. All items in the relevant required reading list must be discussed, referenced and included in your bibliography at the end of the essay. Besides the required reading for your chosen topic, suggested reading and further reading should also be included.
The more you engage with the reading and the relevant literature – for instance managing to make connections with other weekly topics and readings examined in the course, or finding your own material in the library and the web – the better the result. You will need to demonstrate that you have engaged with the material in the course at general, also showing an ability and willingness to develop independent research by pursuing extra reading. In this direction, it essential that you reflect upon and include thoughts and discussions based on the lectures (and the slides!) and the seminars. Marking will adopt a holistic criterion, accounting for your ability to engage with the overall material in the course. Referencing is therefore an essential part of the assessment, and needs to be as wide and complete as possible in its relation to the course material.
When engaging with extra reading, make sure you use sources that have academic value (academic journals and books). Wikipedia should not be used. Unlike academic journals, newspapers might be not immediately relevant for academic debates. They however offer empirical data that can productively be used when backing a certain claim. Websites, blogs and other informal sites can offer primary data (e.g. opinions by religious adherents if you are addressing the role of religion and politics). Be aware however that they might not stand academic scrutiny (so, if you want to back a certain

PEER’S REACTION #1, 100 WORDS

Hi Class,
For the discussion today I listened to the NPR Planet Money podcast. I decided to listen to the episode on what’s causing inflation. I did not realize that the Fed had caused the bond markets to crash in 2013 by only saying one sentence. They came out and said they were going to slow down on purchasing bonds, but did not give a time frame. Which led to a large sell off in the bond market causing the bond market to crash.
I also learned that the Fed would usually raise interest rates when the unemployment rate dropped to a certain level in order to try and stop an “inflation spiral”. This is when unemployment keeps dropping and wages keep increasing. These two ideas relate directly back to principles 9 and 10 in our lesson this week. The government created an influx of money when they gave the stimulus checks during the COVID lockdowns. This is an example of the government producing too much money. While this was good for the average person, including myself, it also increased the inflation rate.
I have been effected by these in both good and bad ways. In the 2008 recession I was laid off from my job. This caused me to lose my job and my home at the time. Luckily I landed on my feet and was able to recover from that. This time around I have seen the portion of my retirement investments drop because of some of the market downturns since all the talk of inflation because of the stimulus packages. I have also benefited from the hot labor market and advanced my career faster than I thought I would by now because of these things.

PEER’S REACTION #2, 100 WORDS

Whether or not you notice it, economics plays a significant role in our day-to-day lives. From what we buy to how we budget, economics is a major factor in a lot of our regular activities. Still, there exists a collection of economic principles that dictate how the economy functions and what rules should be set.There are 10 basic economic principles that make up economic theory and act as a guide for economists. Aside from standard economic concepts like supply and demand, scarcity, cost and benefits, and incentives, there are an additional 10 principles to follow in the field. AS I listened to the podcast there was one principle that stood out to me the most. That principle would be a country’s standard of living depending on the country’s production. Matthieu, stern podcaster of Economic Principles, says “This growth can be traced back to the goods and services produced in each country. In places where workers are able to produce more goods, the standard of living is higher, and vice versa. To increase the living standard, there need to be public policies that affect it without negatively impacting productivity by way of increasing education and providing better access to tools and technology”. As we know, there are different standards of living in different countries, and this is directly correlated to the country’s productivity.For example, even in high-income countries, the Western world has made leaps and bounds in what we consider to be the standard of living.

Espionage/counterespionage development WWII

The Venona Project was an important chapter in US intelligence history. Comment on the major espionage themes you learned from this week’s readings (pick anything you want to discuss). Here are a few examples to help get you started:

1) What did the deciphering of Soviet messages teach us about Soviet espionage techniques?

2) Who was vulnerable to Soviet recruitment and why?

3) Why did some Americans feel the need to aid the Soviet Union and harm the US?

4) What cover stories worked well for spies in the US?

5) What impact did spying have on the US or Soviet atomic weapons program?

The COPD-X defines COPD as a preventable and treatable disease with characterised by airflow obstruction that can cause to slowly progressive symptoms of persistent cough, wheezing and exertional dyspnoea (COPD-X, 2021). COPD is a progressive disease that may aggravate over time (Lung Foundation Australia, 2022). Globally, COPD is the third leading cause of death (American lung Association, 2022). According to the World health organisation, COPD affected more than 200 million people worldwide, causing 3.23 million deaths (Collaborators, 2017; WHO, 2021). The prevalence of COPD in Australia is approximately 0.6 million, and in the United States, it is approximately 16 million (National Heart, 2021; statics, 2018). The treatment of COPD affects significantly economic burden on countries. For example; treating COPD costs the United States approximately $50 billion annually (Iheanacho et al., 2020). In 2015, COPD cost the Australian healthcare system $977 million (Lung Foundation Australia, 2022). According to ESR, COPD costs the European Union 38.6 billion euros annually (ESR, 2021). The burden of COPD is expected to rise globally in the next decade due to continued exposure to COPD risk factors and population aging (GOLD, 2022).
