knowledge you will learn in this course to communities. The goal is to critically assess a First
Nation community using the criteria below.

of a community can help you understand the unique needs, as well as what
opportunities for economic development and other initiatives would work. These kinds of assessments are common in
business and community development.

Protest/Patriotic Music

Protest/Patriotic Music
In this week’s work, we learned about civil liberties and how the Constitution limits the government’s abilities to take away our rights in most situations. One major civil liberty that has been in the public discourse the last few years is protest. We know that protest is a constitutionally protected right and we also know that protest is as much a part of America’s history as our core values. The Boston Tea Party, the American Revolution, Shay’s Rebellion, the fight for Women’s Suffrage, the fight for civil rights for black americans, the Stonewall uprising, the Black Lives Matter protests…all of these were movements to try to improve America for the people who call her home. I want to know your thoughts on patriotism and protest? Can you be a good patriot and engage in protest? Does being a patriot mean just accepting America for how she is, good, bad and all, or does it mean working to try to improve her for all? For this assignment you will choose two songs from any genre, any decade (examples below). One should be what you deem a patriotic song and one should be what you deem a protest song. I want you to define protest and patriotism, WHAT THEY MEAN TO YOU, and then I want you to compare and contrast the two songs. I’d like you to do a bit of research to see if you can find why the songs were written. What was the artist trying to say? Your analysis should be no longer than one page and should be uploaded by Sunday, February 13th at 8pm.
Song examples:
God Bless America
This is America

Fatigue project

The tangential, radial, and axial forces applied to a gear are given in
Figure 1. The shaft of the gear is made of steel with Su = 900 MPa and
Sy = 700 MPa. The diameter of the shaft is d = 25 mm. The pitch diameter
of the gear is Db = 0.25 m and the length l is 0.05 m. The fillet of the shaft
has a fine ground surface. The geometric concentration factors for torsion,
axial, and bending loads are about ktt = 1.5, kta = 1.8, and ktb = 2.0.
Estimate the safety factor with respect to fatigue failure at the fillet for
90% reliability.
Matlab can be used

Criminal Law Essay

You will write two short (3 – 4 page) papers this semester, one before the midterm and one after the midterm. During the first week of class, you will have an opportunity to sign up for your paper topics. Your paper should pose a question (for example, your packback question for that week) and then answer the question. You should incorporate at least three sources in your paper that are NOT assigned readings. Those sources may be journal articles (you should consult JSTOR or Nexis UNI online databases), news articles, or reliable websites.
In terms of format, please do not put a title or your name or date anywhere on the paper (I want to be able to grade blind). Use a 12-point font, double-spaced, 1-inch margins all around. You should include in-text parenthetical citations (such as (Smith, 1999, p. 4)) and a works cited list at the end of the paper. You may use any system of citations you want to use, but you must use an actual system of citations. For example, you can use MLA or APA citations, but you can’t just write a title or provide a link without providing full bibliographic information.
There is a rubric for the paper available on Canvas. Due dates for specific topics are provided on the sign-up form and on Canvas. If you do not sign up for paper topics by midnight on the first Friday of classes, your paper topics will be assigned to you. Each paper is worth 10% of your grade.

Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans, in 2005 (a story that is still relevant today);

Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans, in 2005 (a story that is still relevant today)For each choice, watch the videos in the links provided, and take some notes, and read the articles I have posted. I will also list a few writing prompts below for each choice. You do not have to answer all of the prompts! I just gave them to you to stimulate your thought process.

Please write at least two (2) pages (at least 500 words), with complete sentences, and cogent paragraphs with appropriate details (double-spaced, 12-point font, preferably Times New Roman).

Please write in your own words – do not cut and paste from sources! Paraphrase the thoughts of others. While you may express an opinion in this paper, please do not write excessively in the first person (“I think,” “I believe,” etc.)

Evaluate a Study Design

Read the following article:

Indicate what design and what variables you would use, and in general terms explain how you would operationalize your variable.
Indicate how your choices would resolve some of the methodological issues you raised in the previous question.

debate whether or not racism should be allowed under the right of freedom of speech

Racism is still relevant today and is a serious problem. This week we are going to look at racism in today’s society. For this assignment, students will debate whether or not racism should be allowed under the right of freedom of speech. I have posted a link to a social science article here (Links to an external site.). The article should help you with planning to debate this weeks topic. You have been assigned to a position, either racism should be allowed under the right of freedom of speech or not allowed. Download here
My assigned positon: UNALLOWED
Article: Should the First Amendment Cover Racism (Links to an external site.)
First:
Each student has been assigned a position. You will work to prepare a statement supporting your assigned position. Below are some general guiding questions to consider when debating any topic. Students can use the guiding questions to plan and prepare the groups position; however it is expected that each group will expound on the assigned position using other resources, to touch on other considerations of the topic:
What are some reasons that people would have this position?
Who benefits the most from this viewpoint?
Who does not benefit from this viewpoint?
What sort of solutions would this viewpoint support?
Why is this viewpoint vital to addressing this social problem?
Students must make one single post supporting their assigned position to the “DEBATE” Discussion board forum. This single post should be made by Wednesday at 11:59 PM. The initial post must be at minimum 2 pages at length. Paragraphs must be at minimum 5 complete sentences in length.
