Halfway Houses and Community-Based Correctional Facilities
Halfway houses and community-based correctional facilities (CBCFs) are residential programs that provide supervision, treatment, and comprehensive programing for offenders on felony supervision. Both programs are vital components of a community justice continuum providing services such as cognitive behavioral therapy, drug and alcohol treatment, electronic monitoring, job placement, educational programs, and more.
For this assignment, you will research a halfway house organization and a community-based correctional facility from your area. In your essay, you will compare and contrast the major characteristics of the post-release function of the corrections system, and provide the following explanations.
Explain how the facility and halfway house you researched are structured. How are offenders supervised?
Explain who funds the facility and halfway house. What is their affiliation to their respective state departments of corrections?
Identify some of the challenges people may face in the facility and halfway house. What programming is offered to address these barriers?
Your completed essay should include an introduction and utilize material from at least two sources including the textbook. The sources must be dated within the past five years and must be cited and referenced in your essay according to APA guidelines. Finally, your completed essay must be at least two pages in length, not counting the references page.

Every area of care, in some capacity, works with patients who
have sustained traumatic injuries; from trauma surgeons working rapidly to save
life and limb, to speech therapists teaching traumatic brain injury patients to
eat again. Health leaders have the task of ensuring there are appropriate
resources to deliver the needs of patients who sustain life-altering injuries.
Imagine you are serving in your dream role within a health organization whether
it is the Executive Director of Rehab Services, a Chief Nursing Officer, an HR
Director, or an Infectious Disease Researcher.
Identify the top deadly and preventable injury in your region.
The CDC, AACS, and National Safety Council are three resources that may help
you identify this, and you are encouraged to identify other references. Discuss
the physical and financial impacts an injury like this has on a patient, the
community, the health care system, and especially your own department. Discuss
the workforce needed to care for this patient and use the descriptive and
behavioral epidemiology principles you have learned in this course. Discuss the
who, what, and when, rates, incidence, and prevalence. Identify potential or
real problems within the delivery of care to this population. Identify an area
in which you could resolve conflict through collaborative measures. What
quality measures and assessments should you employ or track for the best
outcomes? Why would these recommendations be effective?

4 Slide PowerPoint Presentation + 7 Page Paper

When I teach Principles of Marketing, I make a point of discussing the importance of “citizen-action publics,” which your text calls “consumer internet activists.” Like any public, they affect a company’s ability to do business. Whether motivated by dissatisfaction with a company, or simply a sense of justice or fairness, citizen-action publics have become adept at using the power of social media to spread information and organize public opinion. When a company is judged to have acted poorly, the result can lead to unfavorable impressions and even sustained boycotts of the company.
This week, I’d like you to tell us your story. Are you now, or have you ever participated in a consumer boycott? Is there a company you consider to be so unethical or harmful that you choose not to spend your money there–and encourage others not to as well? Briefly tell us the details and your reasoning. Then explore how that company is using (or maybe not using) its Public Relations efforts to address the issue. Are their actions sufficient?

If you don’t feel like you’ve ever been a citizen-actor yourself, explore one of these examples instead: Barneys accused of racism; Chick-Fil-A accused of homophobia; SeaWorld accused of animal cruelty. How is the company using Public Relations to address the accusations? Are their actions sufficient?

Discussions: Ethical decision-making 5pts. (Due by 11:59pm)
Please review textbook CH 7 “You Decide” section on page 199. Share your opinions regarding the questions in the end of article. The other questions to help your discussion: Which behavior(s) do you consider to be unethical? Why? What impact do you think Nancy’s actions will have on future decision-making at the Forest Park Hotel? Should Nancy have included Rich in the decision-making process? Does the Forest Park Hotel own its trash?
Three hundred (300) words are the minimum of your content.

You Decide

“It just doesn’t make any sense, Nancy. We’ve been underbid on four of our
last five convention proposals. Worse yet, each time we’ve been underbid,
it’s been by the City Center Hotel, and they’ve beat us out by almost 5% on
the total value of the contract.
I want some answers before we submit another bid. It seems to me that we
are either totally out of touch with the realities of our marketplace or there are
some serious operational problems in your office.”
As a downtown hotel that targeted business travelers and convention
business, the Forest Park Hotel had traditionally been very successful in
following up and capturing its fair share of leads that were developed by the
local convention and visitors bureau. Because of these past successes, Rich
Edwards, general manager of the hotel, was particularly disturbed by the
failure of Nancy Peak, director of sales, in securing some key convention
groups for the hotel.
A heated meeting with Rich was always an uncomfortable situation, but
Nancy was particularly troubled by this encounter because she had no
immediate answers. After an early-morning conference with her sales staff,
she was confident they could find the cause of the bidding failures.
Less than two weeks had passed when Harvey Zoller sheepishly walked into
Nancy’s office. He said that he felt he may have found the source of the
bidding problem. He had been tossing draft copies of his estimates and
proposals into the trash. Somehow, these papers must have been finding their
way into the hands of the City Center Hotel employees, because there were
suspicious parallels between the contract proposals he had developed and the
final bid proposals submitted by the City Center Hotel.
After a thorough investigation, Nancy concluded that although disposal
procedures were normal, they were inadequate in this situation. Further
investigation confirmed that the night custodians working for a contract-
cleaning firm had been taking discarded worksheets and proposals from the
office wastebaskets. Nancy reported her finding to Rich and assured him that
adequate control procedures had been implemented to prevent future
problems.
However, Nancy failed to tell Rich that she had instructed Harvey to create
fictitious worksheets and proposals to be discarded on a current bid proposal.
A few weeks later, Nancy was informed that Forest Park Hotel’s bid had
been accepted and it would serve as the host hotel. She felt that it was poetic
justice that the bid proposal submitted by the City Center Hotel had been 5%
less than the fictitious work discarded by Harvey but 2% over the actual bid
she had submitted. Did Nancy make the right decision?

Introduction

The process of implementing security frequently opens one’s eyes to other forms of security not previously considered. In this two-part assignment, you should experience just that. This assignment focuses on a model of implementing security in layers, which, in many cases, requires a network that is designed accordingly.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

Recommend best security practices to achieve business objectives based on risk assumptions.

Design a network that incorporates the following:

One corporate site (Chicago).
All servers exist here (web server, file server, print server, mail server, FTP server).
Connection to the Internet (50 MBps).
300 employees who only need access to local corporate resources and the Internet.
One remote site (8 miles away).
20 employees who need access to all resources at corporate, plus the Internet.
Connection to the Internet (3 MBps).
Part 1

Use Microsoft Visio or an open-source alternative, such as Dia Diagram Editor, to:

Create a network diagram with defense in depth in mind, citing specific, credible sources that support the design and depicting at least four-fifths of the following:
All necessary network devices (routers, switches and/or hubs, firewalls, VPNs, proxies, and others).
The interconnections between network devices.
Connections to end-user (client) devices (desktops, laptops).
Connections from the Internet cloud to the network input.
Part 2

Write a 6–10 page paper in which you:

Describe the flow of data through the network, citing specific, credible sources.
Assume data begins at the remote site.
Data flow may be monitored by an IDS.
Explain all three elements of the CIA triad and how isolating by network functions helps deliver a layered approach, citing specific, credible sources that support your assertions and conclusions.
Support your main points, assertions, arguments, or conclusions with at least four specific and credible academic sources synthesized into a coherent analysis of the evidence.

Option 1: 6-7 Page Final Paper (1500-1750 words)
For this paper, you will select a film, television program, or other moving-image media form from outside of class, in consultation with your TA. The best arguments are specific and focused. If it serves the argument you’re making, you may choose more than one film/TV show, but you must get approval from your TA.
You will watch this media on your own and develop an analysis that draws from the skills you’ve built in class. How does your chosen film deploy film technique to create meanings about vectors of difference (race, gender, sexuality, nationality, class, disability, age, and so on)?
Your essay should include a one- or two- sentence thesis statement that presents a specific, arguable point of view. Be sure to analyze at least TWO of the formal elements we’ve studied this quarter: mise-en-scène, cinematography, editing, narrative, and sound. Research beyond course material is not required, though your TA may recommend outside sources for some topics.
An example thesis statement could be something like, “Double Indemnity uses POV shots and differences in lighting to encourage the viewer to identify with Walter Neff, while positioning Phyllis Dietrichson as a femme fatale.” You would begin with an introduction that introduces the film, its historical context (Hollywood and film noir, the post-war crisis in masculinity, the femme fatale), and your thesis statement. Then, you would choose two or three examples from the film that provide evidence for your thesis statement (for instance, an analysis of the film’s introduction of Phyllis, an analysis of the murder scene, and an analysis of its final scene between Neff and Keyes). Your paper would conclude with a synthesis of the points you’ve made.
A thorough analysis of a film is mindful of the following factors. You do not have to discuss each of them, but you should be aware of these factors as you develop your argument.
Socio-historical background: When and where was the film released? In what ways is the film an artifact of the time and place that made it? How might it follow or deviate from the cultural or political ideas of its time?
Intertextuality: What is its relationship to other films or media (books, paintings) (e.g., The Beguiled’s cinematographer referencing Vermeer paintings)? Does the film reference other works (e.g., Quentin Tarantino’s references to Blaxploitation and Hong Kong action films)? Existing genre conventions (Devil in a Blue Dress referencing noir)? What purpose do these connections serve? What are the politics involved in these references (e.g., Spike Lee charging Tarantino with cultural appropriation
(Links to an external site.)
)?
Industrial background: Is this a low-budget film released straight to video? A prestige picture? Was it meant to circulate in film festivals and speak to a cinema-literate audience? Was it intended for the mall multiplexes and youth audiences?
Reception: What was its reception at the moment of its release? Has this reception changed over time–in other words, is the film appreciated differently now than it was initially? Was it ahead of its time? Do certain generations of audiences have a nostalgic attachment to it?
Authorship: How does this film fit into the larger bodies of work of its creative personnel?

You can enter your assignment in SafeAssign directly, or you can attach a word doc, docx or pdf
Your portfolio should be 1 document with 4 parts- each entry should be easily identifiable.
Start each entry with the website where I can access whatever you’ve found in parentheses. When I put the website into my browser, it should take me directly to the article, blog post, podcast or video that you found.
Underline/highlight/bold the terms, concepts, ideas or examples from class material.
Assignment:
You will find 4 articles, blog posts, videos or podcasts that have some connection to something we’ve covered DURING THE SECOND HALF of this semester. You can find them yourself, or search the links that are included below. You write one entry for each thing you find
For each entry you will write at least 3 paragraphs:
1) briefly summarize the content
2) discuss vocabulary/concepts, important ideas, or examples from class materials that you can connect to what you’ve found.
3) synthesize the material from class and the article/podcast/blog post you choose, and critically discuss how the two sources relate.
Each portfolio entry should explain why it’s interesting or important to think about the content from the texts, slides, and presentations along with the article, podcast or blog entries you choose. You might try looking at your weekly journal entries and using them as a starting point.
If you get stuck while writing, here are some questions to consider: How does this illustrate something mentioned in the class material? Is this similar to or different from something discussed in class? How? Does this answer a question raised in the text or in class, or make you think of a new question?
Try to think like an anthropologist, focusing on applying ideas to concrete examples, making comparisons, thinking holistically and systemically to consider how parts are related to a whole, thinking interdisciplinarily/bioculturally, relativistically instead of making assumptions/judgments based on your own cultural values, and thinking adaptationally/evolutionarily about changes across time and space
These websites are good places to look for articles, podcasts, blog posts, and videos. SEARCH the websites for topics you find interesting and see what comes up. You can use as many or as few of the linked websites as you like. You can use just one or none. It’s just a coincidence that you have to do four entries and there are four sites posted under links.
Suggested Websites:
www.gizmodo.com Search this blog for archaeology articles. They have a lot of interesting things about science and technology both in the present and in the past. Some of you might be familiar with Kotaku, a gaming-oriented blog run by the same people.
https://www.sapiens.org/ This is a blog put out by the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research. Focus on articles that have to do with the material we’ve covered in the text, although other articles can be used for your group presentations, or extra credit assignments
https://anthrodendum.org/ From the about page on their blog “In 2010, American Anthropologist called Savage Minds “the central online site of the North American anthropological community” whose “value is found in the quality of the posts by the site’s central contributors, a cadre of bright, engaged, young anthropology professors.”
Evaluation criteria
in order to get full credit for this assignment each portfolio entry should:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of class material.
2. Show an ability to engage with anthropological sources through summarizing the articles or podcasts you choose using your own words.
3. Critically engage with the materials you choose through asking questions, giving examples, or furthering previous understandings
4. Utilize the key characteristics of the anthropological perspective by thinking: holistically, empirically, comparatively, adaptational (or about change over time), bio culturally and/or culturally relativistically
