Issues in Sexuality: Scholarly vs. Popular Media
This assignment will help you explore the way a topic in human sexuality is covered in two very different sources: 1) a scholarly journal; use reference: Sex Education
Vol. 10, No. 2, May 2010, 145?156; and 2) a popular media source.

Instructions
Choose a topic on sexuality that interests you. Use the textbook as a guide in selecting your topic.
Find a scholarly article
Select an appropriate topic, and search the APUS online library databases to find an article from a ?peer-reviewed? evidence-based scholarly journal.
If you have questions on appropriate types of articles, you can use the library tutorials or contact a librarian.
Summarize the scholarly article
Write a 300-400 word summary of the scholarly article you selected, including:
The hypothesis of the study (what was he author trying to prove or disprove?)
How the study was conducted, including:
The group of people researched and written about (colleges students? adolescents? the elderly? military members? sexual minorities? etc.)
The research method used (i.e. naturalistic observation, lab experiment, survey, etc.)
The results of the study, the interpretation of the data by the authors and any conclusions they include at the end of the article.
Find and summarize the popular media article
Find and analyze/summarize an article from the popular media that covers the same topic as the scholarly paper. Acceptable popular media sources include sources like:
Traditional newspapers
Magazines
Credible websites
Unacceptable popular media sources include:
Blogs
Wikis
Wikipedia
TV shows
Movies
Tabloids (National Enquirer, etc.)
Write a 300-400 word summary and review of the popular media article.
Summarize the key points and include any information that identifies the group and the methods described.
Describe any conclusions drawn by the authors.
Critique (about 500 words)
Compare the article from Step 3 with the article from Step 4, addressing the following:
What do they have in common?
Other than visually, how are they most different?
What is the value for consumers reading each?
What are the cons associated with the way each presents the information?
Both sources can be important means of communicating information about your topic. Explain what is best about the scholarly approach and why, and what is best about the popular media approach and why.
Consider:
Reasons professors require students to use papers from peer-reviewed and professional organizations.
Reasons for studying sex formally instead of just learning about it from popular media sources.
Conclusion (about 500 words)
Conclude your paper. Include insights you gained from conducting the review, summary, and comparison of the two forms of information. You may comment on their relative interest to you or the average reader.
Use appropriate APA formatting, in-text (parenthetical), and Reference citations. APA formatting guides are available in our class Resources link. APA tutorials are also available on the APUS Library page. If you?re not sure how to do this, take the APA tutorial available in the APU library.
APA formatting requires a separate cover page and a separate References page. Neither counts toward the word length.
Sources must be cited in the body of your paper (in-text or parenthetical citations) and on a page titled: References
Paraphrases should be used instead of quotes unless the quote is VERY short and necessary for complete understanding or to make a particular point. Place quotes inside quotation marks and properly cite them. Failure to correctly quote or cite, even if not intended is plagiarism and will result in a zero on the paper for a first instance and course failure for a second occurrence in any other assignment.

This is a request for your help in writing the first three chapters of my Dissertation. I need the Introduction, Literature Review, and the Methodology. The tricky part about my study is this. There is a belief that the African American race has an identity crisis because of the high rates of incaration and low education acheivements. I have to make sure we touch on this in the literature review but from the stand point of how colllege environment influences the the development task needed to move student from just exploring self dentity to becoming committed to achieving identity. One of my references listed talks about the 4 identity development stages posed by James Marcia. Based on Marica placement of Black students identity development phase of exploration with little committment, my research focus on the need to strive to improve their attitude and behavior development task to gain acceptance in society and to become successful. To this end, title of my dissertation is: Attitude and Behavior Developmental Task needed to assist African American college students with developing a clear commitment to succeed after college. My study is not on Black Identity Crisis but it does include it is the review of literatue as base because it is a historical factor. I provided some reference that talks about identity. Please add a few more references to make the total at least 15.??

Again, my paper needs to cover some identity development issues but the intent is to focus on literature that supports developmental task needed help student commit to succeeding after college. If one's does not accpet himself or group identity then self identity achievement is more thanb likely delay. Please do the best you can to link identity development to task development or attitue/behavioral adjustment as part the requirement become committed to succeeding. Also add some reference to how miliary leadership leading development programs such as College ROTC, helps corporate america mangers and college students develop character needed to become better leaders.


I will be using the Student Developmental Task and Lifestyle Assessment Online 149 questions Survey to quantify the answer provided by participatants. Listed below is my prospectus or what I need to expanded upon in Chapter 1-3 . I need you to put togethers chapters 1-3 based on the guidance I will be emailing you. The review of literature must provide background for the problem statement. See the instructions I will be emailing you regarding content, rubric grading standards and format. I will also need the proposal proportion of Chapter 1 so I can defend the first three chapters. I will have to defend the proposal using power point slides.


Here is a description for what I need reviewed and written to standard:

References: I only have a few references listed. Please add more references to support the topic. References need to be within 3-5 years old unless it is a theory. Please use some sources from African American Psychology. Sources need to peer reviewed sources to be relevelant.

Title: Attitude and Behavior Developmental Task needed to assist African American college students with developing a clear commitment to succeed after college??

Problem statement

There is a lack of research addressing how college ROTC leadership development influences the behavior and attitude development tasks of African American students.
The education gap, high levels of incarceration and income differences between African American and other groups may be a result of behavior and attitude development short falls.

Theories or prior research- Research shows that the dominant culture in United States expects specific behaviors and attitudes from individuals according to their age group and level of education. Successful achievement of a developmental task allows the individual to acquire the experienence needed to accomplish other subsequent developmental tasks as they are encountered throughout life. Some college administrators use the following developmental task as part of the Student Developmental Task and Lifestyle Assessment (SDTLA)(Winston, Miller, & Cooper, 1999 to access were students are in their development process:

Task 1 Establishing and Clarifying Purpose Task. This task is defined by four subtasks: Educational Involvement, Career Planning, Lifestyle Planning, and Cultural Participation.

Task 2 Developing Autonomy Task which is defined by four subtasks: Emotional Autonomy, Interdependence, Academic Autonomy, and Instrumental Autonomy.

Task 3 Mature Interpersonal Relationships Task which is defined by two subtasks: Peer Relationships and Tolerance.

All too often young African American college students who lack commitment and desire are left behind in education, career development and lifestyle planning due to lack of sufficient leadership development during the college years. The majority of research concludes that African American College Students are considered to be in the moratorium phase or exhibit identity exploration without commitment. Research shows that African American students growing up in the United States may be at risk of failing to achieve basic identity development because of their lack of commitment (Marica, 1966, 1980 & Branch 2002). A review of models such as Marcia's expansion of Erikson's identity model to Chickering's vector theory will be provided. W.E.B DuBois's concept of "double identity" and Erikson's writings concerning "adaptive coping" in minorities will be presented along with an overview of Afrocentrism or "Africanity", cross-cultural viewpoints, acculturation, and culture-specific viewpoints (Burt, Halpin 1998). An overview of College Army ROTC Leadership Development techniques will be provided.


Purpose

The researcher wants to add to the body of knowledge to assist professors and college students with exploring the influence of ROTC leadership development on the African American planning skills. The purpose of this study is to determine whether development task achievement statys of African American students enrolled in College Army ROTC Leadership Development Programs differ from African American students not enrolled. This study is significant because it provides insight into some of the underlying variables that my be responsible for the lack of commitment in multiple developmental task areas.

Method of Inquiry

Students will complete an online self-report questionnaire. Upon completion of the questionnaire, respondents will receive a monetary reward or extra credit in a related class. The researcher wants to add to the body of knowledge to assist professors and college students with exploring the influence of ROTC leadership development on the African American developmental task achievement. This study is significant because it provides insight into some of the underlying variables that my be responsible for the lack of commitment in areas of education, career planning, and lifestyle choices.

The participants will be randomly selected ranging in age from 17-24 from various University departments. Because the focus of the study is to compare and correlate the impact of College Army ROTC Leadership Development on development of minority students, all analysis will be performed in the categories as ROTC and Non-ROTC enrolled African American Students as two different groups. Researcher will submit application to University Internal Reveiw Board for research approval. Researcher complete required research training course required by university along with the Professor of Military Science for the Army ROTC Program participating in study. The researcher will contact Associate Vice President for Academic Affair to request the email addresses of Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors at least 18 years of age. Researcher will complete the required letter of consent form and submit to University Compliance Officer for approval. The letter of consent with be an attachment to the email students receive inviting them to complete the online survey. The link to the online survey will be at the end of trhe student consent form. The email invitation to students will describe the purpose of the study and significance. The student will benefit by being made aware of attitude and behavior task they need to improve in order to become more committed to achieve personal identity and being successful in the job market after college. The researcher will offer a monetary award to the ROTC program for assisting with motivating students to consent to completing the online survey.


Research Population

The research population will consist of 160-200 college students recruited from a Historically Black University located Piedmont area of North Carolina. The participant will be at least 18 years of age and older. 80-100 Student will comprise the ROTC enrolled group and 80-100 students will make up the non-enroll. The target audience will be University sophomores, juniors and seniors.

Example of research data that may be collected:

The selected research tool will be used to quantitatively address research questions:
Student Developmental Task and Lifestyle Assessment (SDTLA)(Winston, Miller, & Cooper, 1999).

The purpose of the Student Developmental Task and Lifestyle Assessment (SDTLA) is to provide an assessment tool and procedure that educational practitioners can use with young adult college students to facilitate development of life purpose, mature interpersonal relationships, and academic autonomy as well as the establishment of healthy lifestyles. The assessment procedure is based on concepts and principles of human development, specifically that of developmental task achievement that typically occurs within the college setting. The developmental tasks with which the SDTLA is primarily concerned are most typical of college students between 17 and 24 years of age, though comparable task achievement has relevance for older students as well.



The selected research tools will be used to quantitatively address the following research questions:

1. Is there a difference between the Establishing and Clarifying Purpose Task of African American students enrolled in ROTC and African American student not enrolled in College ROTC?

2. Is there a difference between the Developing Autonomy Task of African American student enrolled in ROTC and African American student not enrolled in College ROTC?

3. Is there a difference between the Mature Interpersonal Relationships Task of African American students enrolled in ROTC and African American student not enrolled in College ROTC?

4. Does the College Senior Army ROTC program significantly impact the development of can students?

Hypothesis:

1. There will be significant difference between the impact of Establishing and Clarifying Purpose Task Development of African American students enrolled in ROTC and African American student not enrolled in College ROTC.

2. There will be no significant differences between the Developing Autonomy Task Development of African American students enrolled in ROTC and African American students not enrolled in College ROTC.

3. There will be no significant differences between between the Mature Interpersonal Relationships Task Development tools of African American students enrolled in ROTC and African American student not enrolled in College ROTC.

4. Enrollment in college Senior Army ROTC significantly improves the the development of students?

JUST 241- Skills For Inquiry In The Criminal Justice System

Assignment:

This is a fictional account but please use the information to construct a short survey per the directions below. You have been asked to construct five items for a survey for the university bookstore. They are concerned about consistent declines in textbook sales. They would like to figure out why they are selling fewer and fewer books every semester. They have decided to survey Northwestern University students for this project and will be mailing this survey to all students in the university database (do not worry how they got the list of students, remember, this is fictional).

For this assignment, you will construct five survey items. You will want to measure (1) student buying habits, (2) find out what is important to students when they buy the books, (3) find out where they usually buy their books, and (4) any other information you think will be important to the bookstore in finding out why they are selling fewer books. YOU SHOULD INCLUDE BOTH OPEN AND CLOSE ENDED ITEMS (AT LEAST ONE OF EACH) but be sure to use the most appropriate format for your item and that the item is well written (for clarity and grammar).

Be sure to legibly write up your survey on a separate sheet and turn it in.

Hope you can help. Thank you.

Answer the following question in a two-page double spaced paper.

Pennsylvania has adopted a tuition tax credit of up to $2,500 of the cost of tuition and related expenses paid during the taxable year for college students. Under this new tax credit, taxpayers will receive a tax credit based on one hundred percent of the first $2,000 of tuition and related expenses (including books) paid during the taxable year and twenty five percent of the next $2,000 of tuition and related expenses during the taxable year. Forty percent of the credit would be refundable. About 77,000 students in Pennsylvania would be potentially helped by making this tax credit refundable.

Write a memo to the Pa State Budget Director (1) describing the tax/revenue impact of the provision and (2) how the decision to use the tax credit would impact the overall state budget.

Perfectionism as a highly debatable issue. Perfectionists see no point and no need

for a second chance; some say ?You have to not only to do your best but to exceed

your expectations and impress yourself as well. Doing so, you won?t need any second

chances.? What do you think of this? What do specialists in psychology, sociology,

business management, and politics among others from the different disciplines say

about this and see such matter? Is perfectionism a good quality that every human being

should seek? Is Perfectionism a pointless burden?

The autobiographical paper is below:

It is difficult to pinpoint specific events that trigger or alter a way one views their own life. With the hundreds of events that occur during everyday life, it can seem overwhelming to pick and choose. However, within this autobiography, I plan to evaluate several events in my life that I think have added meaning and purpose to the shaping of who I am and where I am going. Though it was difficult, I have been able to narrow my important experiences within recent years to the following: realizing the importance of school and my studies; choosing my major and career path; and proposing to my fiance. I will try to explain these meaningful events with Chickerings theory.

My high school experience took place at Robert E. Fitch Senior High in Groton, Connecticut. Much like every other teenager, I had experiences during my high school career that were filled with highs and lows, and the arrogance that can come with being a teenager made high school seem like a breeze. I was very much involved with student organizations, clubs, and sports which took up most of my afterschool activities, but my social life was equally dynamic and fulfilling. I played a sport every part of the year and I was nominated twice to be the class vice president. Being accepted into the National Honor Society combined with being recognized all four years as a member of Whos Who Among American High School Students, gave me a sense of academic self confidence which I now know I took for granted. I received very good grades throughout high school and I graduated in the top 10 percent of my class. The circle of friends with whom I spent most of my time also did very well academically, with all of them also graduating in the top 10 percent of the class. Our ambitions to pursue a college education were not necessarily a question of whether we would go but rather of where.

There was always the expectation growing up that going on to college was the norm. I had a very supportive family that always helped and looked after my education goals and physical and emotional well-being. Of my nuclear family, only my older sister had actually gone to a college. My father served in the United States Navy in the nuclear program and my mother was a homemaker. After my father retired from the navy to start a family, he went to night classes for his bachelors and it took him almost 15 years to earn his degrees. Raising three children, working full time as a Senior Instructor for Nuclear Operations at Millstone Power Plant, and balancing the rest of his life, he graduated with two degrees in engineering, one in mechanical and the other in electrical engineering. My older sister, Hilary, went to the University of Connecticut where she majored in industrial and organizational psychology.

During my senior year in high school, I was actively looking at colleges. Receiving letter after letter from different colleges who wanted me to apply was flattering at first, but it soon started to get a little bothersome. I had already narrowed my search, though, and I planned to apply to only a few schools. My first choice was UConn and the other three were Suffolk, Stonehill, and St. Anselm. I was accepted to all four and received several academic and sports related scholarships to each. After seeing how my sister liked UConn so much, and because the idea that having family close was important to me, I decided to accept UConns letter of acceptance and attend beginning in the fall of 2002. Most of my friends were also planning to attend UConn. Although I knew that I wanted to go to college and advance my learning to the next level, in retrospect, I was not fully aware of what I was getting into. The sense of reality and responsibility involved in going to college was not at all a factor in my decision.

My freshman year was pretty typical. This is the first time in my life that I was away from home for a sustained amount of time with little or no supervision. I could do what I wanted and when I wanted to do it and no one was there to tell me I could not. Besides class, what else was there to doPARTY! Like many freshmen, I got caught up in the party scene as well as extracurricular activities such as sports. If there was a party, then I was there. Intramurals? Sign me up! Looking back, I do not know how I functioned my first year, let alone sustain a decent grade point average. I was aware that conventional wisdom equates an A in high school to a B in college, but with my lack of attention to studying I should not have managed to get a B- average. For the entire first year of my college experience I stayed up until 3am and got up for my 8am class Monday through Friday. Needless to say, I was on the path to burning myself out.

As my undergraduate career continued into my sophomore year, I found myself often getting sick. Every other week I had a cold, the flu, or something that interfered with my ability to attend classes. My roommate did his best to get assignments for me when I missed classes, but the amount of class time I was missing was starting to build up exponentially. I did not really seem to realize the extent to which missing my classes was impacting my schooling. The fact that I could have failed one or more of my courses did not ever enter my mind until I received emails from my professors expressing their concerns about my absence and slipping grades. I spoke with each of my instructors to see if there was something I could do to make up the work I had missed. All but one of my professors were willing to negotiate, but in the end I had to drop three of the four classes I was taking because if I were to continue in them, I would have failed each of them. I ended the semester with a C- average, and my overall GPA dropped significantly from a 3.0 to 2.2.

Getting through that semester was tough but I figured that the start of the next semester would be a fresh beginning. In spite of my opticism, the sophomore slump continued. I remained unable to shake my illnesses, and my grades were again suffering. At one point early in the semester, I contracted strep throat and could not leave my bed for two weeks. I was so sick that I was unable to eat and barely able to drink which led to a substantial weight loss of almost 20 pounds. When I recovered from this illness, I again made efforts to talk with my instructors about my situation and see if there was something that could be arranged to make up for the absences. Unfortunately, no agreements could be reached and once again I had to drop 3 of the four classes that I was enrolled in for that semester. Ironically, the two classes that I was able to remain in for this school year were my physics classes. In high school I had always had difficulty with the subject, but I had no problem with the subject in my sophomore year. In fact I excelled at it. Perhaps as a result of experiencing this small triumph, I had a moment of realization that left an impact on me even to this day. No matter what the excuse, it was up to me and only me to strive for an education and if I truly wanted one then hard work and persistence would need to follow

During the second semester of my sophomore year, I also managed to make yet another discovery that would leave a lasting impression on me. This would be my future fiance, Kim. She is the best thing that has ever entered my life and is the second moment in my life that has altered the way I see myself and life. We first met when we were littlethough we did not realize itplaying against each other as kids on our hockey teams. I played on my travel team and she played on an all-girl team. Years later, during our sophomore year at UConn, our paths once again crossed. We skated on the same intramural hockey team, but it was not until the spring semester that I had the courage to ask her out on a date. I sent her an IM on my computer and, much to my relief, she answered that IM. Looking back I recall how nervous I was about asking Kim for a date. I was literally sweating and my stomach was in knots.

At first Kim did not know who I was, and I had to explain that I was the new guy on her intramural hockey team. We then started a conversation in her dorm room that would last for at least 3 hours. We said goodnight and picked up the conversation the next morning through IM as if we had never stopped talking. It was Super Bowl Sunday, and we were more interested in talking with each other than getting pumped up for the game. We talked all the way until kickoff and continued after the game ended. She asked if I wanted to get together again and I agreed. The more we saw each other, the more we realized how much we loved and needed each other. There is not a day that goes by that I do not thank my roommate for literally making me talk with Kim. It has been a blessing to find her and her impact in my life has continued to this day.

Kim has also helped me realize even more how important it is to have a good college education. She was a coach, and a mentor and the one who pushed me hard to get back on track with college. After the summer, I was finally back on my feet with a drive to excel once again in my studies. During my four years at UConn, I had changed my major four times. I started out as a freshman with an undeclared major, changing to mathematics spring semester. After struggling with some of the upper level courses, I yet again decided to change my major from mathematics to physics the following fall. Excelling through the courses I quickly became overwhelmed, and soon after I began to experience a burnout. Feeling as if I had failed to succeed with math and science, I turned my attention to the other end of the spectrum of sciences. I changed my major to communicational sciences, concentrating in interpersonal communications, my junior year. It was as if a breath of fresh air had filled my lungs. The courses were enjoyable but I could not see myself pursuing a career in the field for any great length of time. Since it was my junior year and I had not yet figured out my career path, I needed to sit down and take a look at what I was good at, what I liked doing, and what I could see myself doing in the future. With Kims help I saw that I had a knack for helping people. I was able not just to be supportive of others, but I could really connect with people and help them. I also had a great knowledge of course planning for almost every major at UConn, because I liked to read through the course booklet and see what kinds of classes were out there and see the different majors and what the requisites were for each. Also, I realized that I often helped my friends with their course selections and major planning before they went to their own advisors. Therefore, I decided to major in Human Services where my concentration was in academic advising.

I wanted to become an academic advisor. I knew that my college experiences did not reflect someone who could assume such a high responsibility for helping others about their futures, but I did not see my past as a hindrance. I saw it as a benefit. In terms of my grades, I had been from one side of the spectrum to the other, and I saw my experiences while doing both well and poorly as invaluable in helping me connect with and helping students realize their own goals and aspirations. The fact that I was a bad student for awhile is an asset. The fact that I was able to realize and overcome a poor start to my college career will hopefully help students see they can improve too.

MRSA is a type of antibiotic resistant staph bacteria that has been in the news a lot lately because it killed a high school student in VA, and kills more Americans annually than HIV/AIDS. I want the essay written about MRSA, what it is, how it is spread, and why it is important for college students to know about, especially those college students living in dorms on campus. Don't get too in-depth or technical with the medical side of it, just touch on it a little bit. Also throw in some stats from the CDC if possible, and whenever you can, make the focus of the essay on MRSA as it relates to college and to college students. Oh, and also please include a reference or two to the recent events in the news about MRSA, especially those happening in VA (one or two sentences about it would be fine). Thanks!

this research paper is for English 1302(composition rethoric 1302),and it is an informative reasearch paper.It is required to have a perfect MLA style,and works cited list, so I highly ask to have that, please. Also parenthetical citations if there is any by any case. I am a college student, so I would like the paper to be about the things a college student needs to be admitted at Baylor college of Dentistry. For instance, there is three dental schools at Texas,one in Houston, one in San Antonio, and one in Dallas,but Baylor is the closest one I can apply for, so I would like to focus on the one I want to go which is Baylor at Dallas. I would like the paper to be about that particular college(Baylor college of dentistry),anything important that can inform someone about this college to apply for, for instance: the application, the scholarships, costs, around how many students can be admitted(statistics),semester hours limit required to be taken before getting in Baylor,minimum number of predental years before getting in Baylor,the test that needs to be taken to be admitted or not at Baylor(DAT-Dental Admission Test). There can be three to four quotes from statistics of students who apply every year at Baylor,and how highly is this college recommended,and how many students are admitted every year (things like that). Please I would like the paper to be very good at MLA STYLE and WORK CITED LIST please. I don't want the research paper to be written with so excellent and difficult words that can be noticed I didn't do it.I just want a good research paper (95 grade)with a perfect MLA STYLE and WORK CITED list which is what my grade is about, and good grammar of course. Thank you.
