Derek Parfit argues that personal identity doesn’t matter for survival; what really matters for survival — what we really care about — is psychological connectedness and continuity. This might seem to go against common sense. It seems like I don’t just care about psychological connection and continuity between me now and a future person; it seems like I care whether that future person will be me. In your paper you will discuss Parfit’s support for the claim that identity doesn’t matter for survival, and assess his position. In particular, your paper should do four things:
1. First, very briefly state the problem of personal identity over time.
2. State why Parfit thinks that identity isn’t what we really care about. (Hint: Parfit describes scenarios where the notion of numerical identity doesn’t neatly apply. These scenarios are supposed to bring out differences between identity and what does ultimately matter for survival.)
3. Explain what Parfit thinks matters for survival: namely psychological connectedness and continuity. See especially section IV. (You may switch the order of 2 and 3, if it seems more natural to you.)
4. Assess Parfit’s position. Is Parfit right that we don’t really care about identity? Could he be more convincing? Do we actually care about identity, over-and-above psychological connectedness and continuity? If so, why? Though you are not required to do so, you might find it helpful to illustrate your assessment with a case of your own.

The Theoretical Motivations for Serial Killings
The Theoretical Motivations for Serial Killings
I tell anyone who is choosing this topic to make certain that you write about why serial killers kill, and not specifically about examples of killers…the topic is asking about serial killings and why they tend to occur. If you type “serial killings” into the library search bar instead of “serial killers,” the appropriate articles should come up.
you have to have three scholarly articles and I prefer you just use the St Leo article for all five, you have to have five articles and they have to be scholarly and it’s best to just use a library to find all of them.
To find articles for in which I find is easiest for students and has a lot of criminal justice or psychology type journals is pro quest so make sure you click find an article or video, you should be still on that page and then click pro quest.
https://www-proquest-com.saintleo.idm.oclc.org/advanced?accountid=4870
I click scholarly journals because remember all your articles need to come from a scholarly journal, it has to be a peer reviewed source it can’t be things off the Internet, you cannot use books or textbooks, you have to use scholarly journals.
If you click these this will eliminate dissertations and theses theses because these are not normally scholarly articles, the dissertation has to be published most dissertations or not. And and students make this mistake a lot they don’t check scholarly journals they check all and they start turning in books and dissertations and you’ll lose points for that so just follow these simple directions and make it life easier on you.
So if you want to narrow it down to the last couple of years, you can do that I I like to do that, generally, I like to read articles that are within the last five or 10 years let’s say I was looking for.
The effects of laser gun take laser guns tasers versus real weapons when when making an arrest tasers haven’t been out that long, so I would do the last 10 years or last five years, so that I would get not get things from the 70s and 80s.
This pro quest and https don’t put that on your reference page I don’t want all that and I don’t want links, I just want the name of the title the author’s.The journal name and the volume issues you’re supposed to put the page numbers to, and we should be able to find those shortly oh page pages one to 25.
These are the okay this gets this is tricky so when you cite this in your paper and it asked you to cite by.Last name first initial you have to be very diligent and how you read this and be careful, so this person’s last name is Islam, the first initial is Jay.
you have to look at your five sources.
These are all the art of those types of things you’re not supposed to use and you’ll get to see out dictionaries Wikipedia.

US Military History
Answer the senarios below, each senario has be answered in a paragraph of its own.
1.) Assume the role of chief adviser to the president (United States: Abraham Lincoln or Confederate States: Jefferson Davis). It is April 15, three days following the bombardment and capture of them Fort Sumter by Southern P.G.T. General Beauregard. Your president is unsure whether to raise armies and pursue war or open negotiations with the other side and find a path to a peaceful solution to the military crisis (up to this point, secession has been a political issue). What advice and counsel will you give him? What position do you advocate for (war or peace)? Why? Write this journal as an official statement from the chief adviser (you) to the president.
2.) You are a soldier/officer in General William Tecumseh Shermans Army of Tennessee. It is late November 1864, and you are halfway through a one-month march from Atlanta, Georgia to Savannah, Georgia that is being called Shermans March to the Sea.
Explain your experiences on this march and why this is different from other campaigns you have been part of. Are you supportive of Shermans tactics, and how does making war in this manner make you feel as an American?
3.) As an officer in the U.S. cavalry, you serve under General William T. Sherman and Colonel Richard Dodge. You served under Sherman in the Civil War and were part of his scorched earth campaign through Georgia, now called Shermans March to the Sea. It is now 1872 and the cavalry is engaged in an attempt to subjugate the Plains Indians in the West. Scorched earth is being used again, but this time against the Native Americans by killing off the buffalo. Five years ago, you were there when Colonel Dodge said that every dead buffalo is a Native American gone. Just last week, the Secretary of the Interior, Columbus Delano, wrote that the disappearance of bison from areas that were delegated for hunting must play a part in our efforts to relocate Native Americans to confined, smaller areas and influence them to change their nomadic ways. The Army has been asked to give their opinion on this matter (removing the buffalo).
You have been ordered to advise your commanding officer in writing on the legitimacy of this strategy (killing off the buffalo) and provide other alternatives for the subjugation of the Native Americans. What are your thoughts on this matter? What do you feel should be done? Address your letter to your commanding officer.

Education, Knowledge, and Curriculum
As you just read the assignment guide, my assignment is to make a concept map. What I would like to ask you to do is just write texts so I can make a concept map out of it. (I just need texts.)
It says to include two or more course readings, so I attach here 4 readings so you can choose 2 or more from the list.
Also, it says to make 5-10 factors/concepts, and if you could possibly write 6-7, that would be enough.
So basically, on word file, please write 6-7 concepts from 2 or more readings of your choice (just put page numbers in brackets so I can make citations). For each concept, please write one bold sentence of the main idea followed by 2-3 supporting sentences.
And if you could connect one or two factors together, that would be awesome.
That’s it! Thank you so much!
