Socialization Paper

Socialization Paper
In life we are constantly being socialized. From
interactions from the past, we are changing the way that we do things and how
we respond to people in certain situations for how we interact in the future.
We are constantly shifting back and forth looking at ourselves as an object and
playing that out as a subject.

This paper will consist of four parts, BUT ALL PARTS ARE TO BE ORDERED THE EXACT SAME WAY. Think back to a
time where you had a certain social interaction that made you rethink the way
you were acting and caused you to change who you were. Think about how you
viewed yourself as an object and decided how you should behave next time you
were in this certain social situation. Describe the experience of becoming a
subject and then actually playing out what you decided to do as an object. Make
sure to include how you felt in each situation and how you came to a new
understanding of a way to behave. Now come up with four situations exactly like
that and write about them.

Your paper should consist of four separate parts dedicated
to each social situation. You should title each section I. II. III. and IV.
Make sure to include every part of the socialization part that is mentioned
above. Each section should consist of three paragraphs.

The first paragraph dedicated to the social situation
(describe the social situation in detail: how people acted toward you, how it
made you feel, how it made you think about yourself, how you were acting in the
situation, etc.).

The second paragraph should consist of looking at yourself
as an object (describe in detail what your behavior was before that
interaction, what you felt like you were supposed to change, how you went about
planning what to change, etc.).

The third paragraph should include yourself as a subject
acting it out (describe in detail what you did differently, how people acted
toward the new you, did you change the right thing, were you perceived better,
etc.).

Each paper should be in 12 point font Times New Roman,
double spaced and be at least 3/no more than 4 pages. No header.

If your paper is not done in this way you will automatically
be docked points.

ID for voting in Texas elections

In 2011, the Texas legislature passed a law that requires all voters to produce photo identification when they present themselves to vote in an election. Prior to the law, Texans could present a voter registration certificate, which does not carry a photograph. Under the new law, not all forms of photo identification are considered valid for voting purposes. For example, state-issued concealed weapons permits are allowed, but student identification cards are not. A voter who shows up to the polls without appropriate photo identification may cast a provisional ballot, but must return to the registrar’s office with photo identification within six days to make his or her vote count.
Supporters of the public policy argue that requiring photo identification is necessary to ensure the integrity of the election system and assure Texans that their elections are free from fraud. They claim that fraud is often undetected and difficult to prosecute, so the absence of high rates of voter fraud prosecution does not mean that it is a problem that should be ignored. Supporters believe that having the potential of penalties for breaking the law will deter any attempts to commit fraud. Former Governor Rick Perry noted that the law “makes sense” since one needs to show photo identification to board airplanes, conduct official business, and perform transactions with banks and other organizations. Those in favor of the law also point to public opinion polls showing that the majority of Texans support the simple proposition that you must show photo identification to prove who you are in order to vote.
Opponents of the law claim that the measure is not really about preserving the integrity of the electoral system but is meant to minimize Democratic turnout in order to help the state Republican Party keep its hold on power. Those who oppose the law claim that it puts an undue burden on populations who are less likely to possess photo identification (and who often vote for Democrats), such as elderly, disabled, minority, and poor voters, by making them go through additional steps to vote. Lubbock County Commissioner Gilbert Flores noted that the bill’s goal is to “weaken and deter the Hispanic vote.”
The law does provide for free photo identification, but in some rural areas, opponents argue, the nearest Department of Public Safety office is far away and not easily accessible. In addition, opponents suggest that the law is in essence a solution in search of a problem, pointing to studies that show there is no real problem concerning voter fraud in Texas.
The question remains whether voter identification laws are on balance positive or negative. There are legitimate arguments for and against the legislation, but one thing is clear: Republicans strongly support the measure and Democrats have attempted to stop the measure. This fact alone suggests that Republicans believe they will electorally benefit from the law, while Democrats believe they will be harmed. In Wisconsin and North Carolina, federal judges agreed with challengers to these states’ voter ID laws and declared them unconstitutional because of social science evidence suggesting that minorities were adversely affected by the new requirements. However, backers of the Texas law point to data showing that turnout in the November 2013 election was nearly double that of previous elections without the voter ID requirement, including in heavily Hispanic counties. This suggests, they argue, that the law did not adversely affect minority turnout. Should voter IDs be required for voting in Texas elections? You decide.

Contributions of women during world war 1

Write an essay of 10-12 pages in length, double spaced, not counting a title-page or bibliography and appendix, in formal academic style with citations.
We require Chicago Style citations, in notes-bibliography style– here is a how to video on this for you
(Links to an external site.)
You will start from an argument stated clearly in the introduction, the body paragraphs will analyze and present evidence to support it, and a short concluding paragraph will sum it up and re-emphasize your thesis.
Your thesis will appear underlined and your topic sentences will be in bold.
The paper is worth 25% of your final grade (including review) and is due on to Canvas (in Word or Pdf format) for peer review. Failure to hand in a full complete draft means not doing the peer review, and hence losing 5% of course grade. The reviewed copies you will return to your classmate on June 25 at 11:59pm, and the final revised version (to Canvas, in Word or Pdf format) is then due to me on June 27 at 11:59pm.
TOPIC:
The paper should address a particular specific set of events or themes related to WWI, but may, within these bounds, deal with any aspect of the time and war etc.
After perusing your reading list, skimming through course readings, and thinking on lectures, select a key theme that the course has focused on (see weekly topics) and then consider why this is important in a broader sense, for the war or just in terms of history more broadly.
When you have a time, place, and issue in mind, fashion an argument statement (thesis) about the significance of the particular topic/event – but try to think of something that is clear, specific, and provable.
You should consider its impact in larger terms—for instance of politics, gender, class, religion, economics, culture, health, and/or military developments. You need not cover all these, but certainly some should appear in your essay.
THESIS:
The best kind of thesis will be narrower, e.g. from Aregay: “the growth of the coffee trade may be directly related to Ethiopian Shawa’s rising power and autonomy in the early nineteenth century.”
An impossible thesis would take on a huge topic, e.g. “sugar was significant to Caribbean slavery in political, economic, cultural, and social ways.” This would make a good book, but not a good 12 page paper.
SOURCES:
Your paper must use (and cite) the following as a minimum:
2 monograph sources (single author books)
3 peer reviewed articles or anthology chapters
3 primary sources
Important note: By USE I mean that the source must PROVE some point of your argument, it is NOT sufficient to include sources for ornamentation!
You should also enter your topic into a search for books or articles on our library website: http://www.library.fullerton.edu/
(Links to an external site.)
which may lead you to interesting and useful sources for your paper.
Additionally, I am posting a short list of other web-links to Canvas where you can get primary sources. You may also analyze a contemporary image as a primary source (photo, painting, sketch, statue etc.). If you choose to do this, please clear it with me first, and append a copy of the image to the end of your paper.
And PLEASE, come see me early as possible if you are having any difficulties gathering sources.
Some ways to improve your paper: 1) ensure that all presentation items are followed, spell and grammar check your work 2) spend 20 minutes alone reading it out loud, see if it makes sense/sounds right 3) see me for clarification if you are unsure about question or terminology 4) cut-and-paste your thesis, topic sentences, and conclusion onto a separate doc; is there still a clear and convincing argument without the filler? 5) if you describe something, ask yourself how it relates to your thesis, i.e. is it useful or necessary—university level work demands analytical thinking, not regurgitation of the text 6) write this at least a day in advance, revise it after letting it sit for minimum of one day
Good luck, and I am confident that you will dazzle me with your brilliance with this paper!!

Do you have the same moral responsibilities in online spaces as in analog/“meatspace” interactions?

1) Do you have the same moral responsibilities in online spaces as in analog/“meatspace” interactions?
2) Is it ethically wrong to write a completely fictional depiction of torture purely for amoral amusement? Amusement being not to threaten anyone, not for historical purposes, amoral as in not to demonstrate any ethical point beyond your own entertainment. Please do not write the torture scene in entirety as your response.
3) Do all rational beings, human or otherwise, which are capable of both ethical claims and moral action share some ethical and moral responsibility? In other words, is there some foundational ethical claim that all beings capable of considering ethics would definitionally agree on?
4) Do you have a moral responsibility to treat contemporary examples of algorithmic AI (chatbots, Siri, Alexa, robot vacuums, etc) with respect? How do you determine whether it deserves this treatment, and/or what respectful treatment would mean?

Starbucks Brand Extension Strategy

Branding has become so strong that today hardly anything goes unbranded. A “brand extension” involves the use of a successful brand name to launch new or modified products in a new category. Watch the videos about Starbucks. Some analysts express strong concerns about Starbucks’ rapid expansion despite the success. Some critics worry that the company may be overextending the Starbucks brand name. What do you think about the brand extension strategy of Starbucks?
Note: Starbucks initiated “Evening Happy Hour” and started to sell beer, wine, and appetizers at 400 hundred locations a couple of years ago, but cancelled the program in the U.S. in 2017.
