Discussion Thread: What is a Militia? The Second Amendment specifically mentions a “well regulated militia,” which has led some to claim that this Amendment protects the Rights of the military or a state’s National Guard to possess firearms. Explain the meaning of a militia in the context of the Founders’ time period and whether or not that definition has a modern comparison. Discuss the protection of Rights in the Bill of Rights, as they relate to individuals or groups.

Choose a behavior to increase and research the current applied literature that uses interventions based on the basic theories and principles that you discussed during your Week 3 assignment. If you are unsure if your behavior is appropriate to use, please reach out to the instructor for additional assistance. Using Canva (Canva.com), create a free account and use a brochure template of your choosing to create your assignment. There are multiple free templates to use. You can also create your own using other software options if you would prefer. The brochure should discuss a behavior to increase, a way it can be operationally defined, and the current literature that uses intervention strategies based on the theories you discussed in your Week 3 assignment. Make sure to include the following components:
Include an engaging title that will capture the interest of your reader.
Provide a brief overview of the field of Applied Behavior Analysis and how it relates to radical behaviorism. Include the seven dimensions as outlined by Baer et al. (1968).
Discuss the importance of data collection, dimensional measurement, and the use of basic principles to create technologies to change behavior.
Identify the socially relevant behavior of interest and define it using a topographical or functional definition. Include a proposed measurement system that describes the relevant dimension(s) of measurement.
Provide a succinct discussion of the current applied literature that uses technologies informed by the theories you discussed in Week 3. These articles should be, at a maximum, no older than seven years.
Discuss any gaps you found in the literature and include areas for future research as discussed by the researchers in the literature you reviewed.
Discuss the ethical considerations of the intervention strategies, making reference to the Belmont Report and the BACB ethical code of conduct.
Complete your brochure with a compassion mission statement outlining how you, as a clinician, will be using these strategies to promote ethical and compassionate service delivery. Make sure to cite the Capella Compassion Code.
Note: Design the brochure with visually appealing elements: images, icons, infographics, etc. Remember this is not a paper, so your sentences need to be complete and professional, but concise. The language you choose needs to be technical and valid, but also approachable and client friendly. This is an opportunity to practice how to balance your professional writing.

The requirements of a mission statement that will foster a Total Safety Culture (TSC) are described in Table 2.1 in the textbook. (I’ve included a screenshot PDF that you can refer to). You will be reviewing an organization’s mission statement and evaluating it in terms of the goals of a TSC. Read the mission statement of an organization where you work or have worked in the past, or the mission statement of an organization that someone you know has worked for; alternatively, you may go online to view the mission statements of one or more companies for discussion (search “company name” mission statement). How well does the mission statement that you are reviewing meet the requirements stated in Table 2.1, including that it should “Promote the goals of a Total Safety Culture philosophy that safety is not a priority than can be reordered, but is a value associated with every priority.” Does the mission statement take account of factors associated with the environment, with the person and with behavior? How could the mission statement be changed in order to foster a TSC? Since mission statements are typically brief, you may find safety issues addressed in a separate document, often written by a safety committee, that may or may not be considered part of the overall mission statement. If this is the case, do the contents of the document and where it is located relative to the mission statement meet the requirements of a TSC?
You have been tasked again by FICBANK to analyze their data collection mechanisms. Read this page and go through the linked resources for a more in-depth understanding of log collection, management, and analysis to understand the narrative that you will be following for the assignment in this unit.

For this section you can draw from your Research Question(s), Statement of the Problem, and Purpose Statement and Thesis Proposal assignments.
II. Review of the Literature: All research projects include a literature review to set out for the reader what knowledge exists on the subject under study and helps the researcher develop the research strategy to use in the study. A good literature review is a thoughtful study of what has been written, a summary of the arguments that exist (whether you agree with them or not), arranged thematically. At the end of the summary, you should have circled back to your research question that remains to be answered. It is written in narrative format and can be from 12-18 pages depending on the scope and length of the paper. You wrote a version of your Literature Review for the Assignment due in Week 6.
III. Methodology and Research Strategy: This section provides the reader with a descriiption of how you are planning to conduct research. It explains what research approach you have chosen, and why. The theoretical framework section is included, which develops the theories or models to be used in the study and shows how you have developed testable research hypotheses. This section includes a discussion of the gaps in the literature and how your thesis will address those gaps. It will include a justification and explanation of the theory or model that is used in the thesis. It describes any special considerations and defines any limitations and terms specific to this project, if necessary. This section will range from 5-8 pages Please draw on your research proposal as you should have already developed a preliminary strategy for the Proposal that you submitted at the end of Week 4.
IV. Findings and Analysis: This section provides the results of your research and the analytical arguments that will make as a result of your findings. In a quantitative project, this section would provide the results of the data collection and an analysis of what it illustrates in empirical terms. In a qualitative project, you will do the same even if there is no quantitative component. For an empirical qualitative project, you will provide your analysis of the variables you identified and explain what your research findings are. How did your independent variables affect the outcome (your dependent variable)? Did you prove or disprove your hypothesis? What new information have you discovered, if any? This section will range from 10-15 pages.
V. Conclusions: This section will contain the concluding analytical arguments based on what research has revealed to answer the research question. Like any conclusion, it should provide a synopsis of the project, the strategy, and the results and what they add to the body of knowledge. This section should also offer suggestions for avenues of future research for other scholars, as all knowledge is evolutionary. This section can be 5 – 7 pages depending on the scope of the project.
References (or Bibliography): This section will contain all references, cited in Turabian format and alphabetically arranged. Entitle this section as either “References” or “Bibliography” depending on the type of citation you use in the rest of the paper.
