1. Letter From a Birmingham Jail
The letter from the Birmingham Jail, was an open letter written by Martin Luther
King, Jr. in response to White clergymen who denounced the tactics of the
Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), which believed that the
battles for social injustice should be resolved in the courts rather than protests
and demonstrations in the streets. While King was imprisoned for leading
demonstrations in Birmingham, he responded in his letter, stating why and how
he and the other protesters did what they did. In essence, King outlined the Civil
Rights Movement’s defense by using logic and emotional appeal.

Consider the following questions when answering questions 1 and 2:
What were King’s goals or social ideas?
What did King think about the future of America?
How did King’s objectives change during the Civil Rights Movement?
Respond to the following question:
1. King wrote from jail, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
Comment on this statement as it relates to the Civil Rights movement. What role
did Martin Luther King, Jr. play?
2. Why was the Civil Rights movement a driving force from 1955 to 1968? What
role did Martin Luther King, Jr. play?

The theoretical foundations of qualitative and quantitative methods are very different, but many researchers believe both methods should be used in the research study to increase validity and reliability. What advantages or disadvantages do you see in using both types of methods in a nursing study? Support your answer with current evidence-based literature.

The decline of youth sports participation.

Research
Proposal Assignment The purpose of this assignment is to provide students
practice in the activity of scholarly research.
This research proposal is the capstone requirement for this course and
aligns with the Research Intensive requires of the Quality Enhancement Plan
(QEP) that is part of University’s SACS accreditation.
Students will prepare a research proposal, which will
include, but not limited to, an introduction to the problem, a review of
literature that provides the theoretical and/or conceptual framework for the
paper, the research questions/hypotheses, statements of significance and purpose,
methodology, as well as ethical considerations and limitations of the study.
General Guidelines
1.
As
a capstone requirement, this assignment is a culmination of the work you have
completed throughout this course. You will need to draw upon the work you have
accomplished throughout the various research drafts in order to expand upon them
to successfully complete this assignment.
2.
All
research topics must be undoubtedly related to the curriculum with our academic
programs (i.e., sport, event, and tourism management, coaching, outdoor
adventure, etc.) and, more broadly, within the discipline of sport, recreation,
or tourism management (or very closely related). Your instructor reserves the
right to disapprove any topic.
3.

final length/page count of the assignment will vary depending on a multitude of
factors unique to your research proposal and quality of work is always
encouraged to drive the quantity of work. Nevertheless, a minimum of 15 pages is
required (not including title page, abstract, table of contents, references, or
appendices) to effectively address all research components and the outcomes of
this assignment. A minimum of 10 peer-reviewed sources are also required.

HUmor Elective Class

I need a paper contrasting 2 separate types of humor like trevor noah feel free to include 1 or two more who is a master at satire in political views versus ethnic/cultural humor like fluffy iglesias, russel peters.
You should choose examples that you will be able to discuss
and analyze in terms of the ideas and theories you have studied in this course.
In your Presentation, you are required to make:

2
references to any concepts or ideas that you learned in this course
EXCEPT FOR the 3 theories of humor. For example, include any of: the element of
surprise/incongruency in humor; what is a “true comedian’s” joke? sense and
non-sense in jokes; or any others.
More info about the 3 Theories
of Humor: Superiority, Relief and Incongruity
The so-called ‘theories’ are simply elements or ingredients that
are present in every joke to make it successful.
SUPERIORITY: A brief example: you see someone walking ahead
of you all of a sudden slip up on a banana peel — you laugh, you find it
funny. Why? Because: 1) it’s not you; 2) the way the person tries to catch
their balance while falling down. In other words, we laugh because we’re at a
safe remove from the unfortunate person and thus feel ‘superior’ to them, while
experiencing their awkward gestures of falling.
This safe ‘superiority’ distance can be found in relation to how
you used to be in the past or a day ago. When you remember something funny from
your past, you may realize it was not funny to you at the time when it
happened, but now with time providing a distance from that moment you find it
funny. So you feel ‘superior’ to your old self and can make fun of
yourself. Many stand-up comedians do that – someone like Kevin Hart is very
good at making fun of his past experiences (because he is no longer in that
place). Any joke requires that psychological remove through time or physical
distance, otherwise it is just too painful. Does this make sense?

RELIEF: We enjoy comedy because laughing puts us in a happy mood.
We all know that but why is that?? When we laugh we release mental pressure and
stress that we normally live with. At the end of a long day, when we laugh at a
joke we instantly feel better not necessarily because a joke is funny but
because a little laughter releases inner tension, for however briefly.

INCONGRUITY: Every joke is constructed according to Incongruity
principle, meaning that there is something that goes against our expectation or
is INCOMPATIBLE with what we think should happen. If a joke follows the same
rules and norms as everything else does, then there will be no laughter because
that’s what we expect to happen in the first place. Every joke contains a grain
of incongruity in regards to the social rules/customs we live by. When Kevin
Hart makes fun of his height it is incompatible with the norm because in a
polite society we do not laugh at short persons. Absurd jokes is the ultimate
example of incongruity.
Satire:
As mentioned
before, it is a form of criticism that relies on humor to make criticism more
palatable and entertaining. The goal of this funny criticism is to change the
world, to make it better. Satire makes fun of immorality, faults, shortcomings
of a person or society in order to correct them. As we saw in “SantaLand
Diaries”, satire is used to expose people’s prejudices, weaknesses and
imperfections where it is least expected. Political satire, for example,
is definitely used in this way — to expose the faults of politicians. Today’s
political comedy is everywhere but one can argue it is used more as a form of
entertainment than to bring about tangible improvements.
Dark humor is highly popular on the internet
today. The reason may be that the internet provides anonymity the way a live
show with an audience (or a family in front of TV does not). One can post on
the internet the most provocative statements/memes without any
consequences.
Dark humor is also popular because of its
shock effect. It catches our attention more quickly than other forms of humor.
Anything disturbing or outrageous triggers deep and strong emotions in human
beings.
However, originally (way before the onset of
technology), dark humor aimed not at shocking or entertaining people, but at
pushing the limits of what was acceptable in a society. Dark humor was in a way
therapeutic because it allowed to laugh at painful, tragic events in one’s life
in order to overcome them, to make difficulties more bearable. To use an
extreme example, laughing at death was not meant to shock the audience but to
make death less of a taboo topic and more acceptable to talk about, so that
people could overcome the pain of it.
Absurd humor implies that logic is a mere
convention, a practicality and a custom that we have been habituated to and
don’t question anymore. Think about how logic is perceived in different
countries and cultures: in one culture what is considered “logical”
(aside from 2+2=4) may not be the same as in another part of the world. So
absurdity/nonsense questions this habit and suggests that rationality may not
be “natural” but simply imposed on us for practical reasons.
Lastly, absurd humor (like dark humor)
undermines the idea that there is meaning in the world. It seems to say the
world/reality makes
