Simulating Epidemics on Social Networks

In this homework assignment, you will be building a program to simulate epidemics, which involve the rapid spread of infectious diseases over social networks of contact or physical proximity between people. A social network can be represented by a set of nodes, representing people, connected by edges, denoting relationships between people. In the case of modeling infectious diseases, these relationships could represent physical contacts or close physical proximity between people, allowing for the transmission of disease from one person to another. These relationships are undirected, meaning that either person could transmit the disease to the other person.

Historical analysis based on a primary source attached here!!!

/in /by

For this assignment you need to read the following primary source, “Bontier, Pierre. Extract. In The Canarian, or, Book of the Conquest and Conversion of the Canarians in the Year 1402, 12236.  London: Routledge, 2016.
“(ATTACHED BELOW!!!) and provide a historical analysis of its content (750 words):

How to do this assessment:

This document analysis assumes no prior knowledge, that is, you do not have to do any other background or contextual reading. In fact, you shouldn’t, because this assessment tests your ability to analyse the primary source itself, and to present that analysis in the form of a historical argument.

Suggestions:

Pretend to yourself that this document as though it is the sole artefact to survive from the culture that you are examining. That is, imagine that this is the only surviving evidence of this clearly imperial culture.
Assuming this, what does the document teach you?
In the absence of other evidence, what generalisations do you feel confident in making?
What things preoccupy the author?
What things seem to matter to the people he describes?
What kind of society does this document seem to evoke?

IMPORTANT: There is one rule which holds for everything you will ever write as an academic historian: you are always writing an argument. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a document test, a review of an article, an essay, exam, article, chapter, thesis or book: you should be advancing an argument. In other words, you should be using evidence to convince your reader that something is or is not the case, that things were a certain way.

IN HISTORY THERE IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE: YOU ARE ALWAYS ADVANCING AN ARGUMENT!*

Navigating the Emotional Terrain of Our Elders

/in /by

Instead of a Discussion Board in BbLearn this is to be a guided reflection/reaction paper. The following
questions serve as directions for your personal reflections of Pipher’s book. Your responses are to be
written separate from this assignment sheet.

  1. “Soon our country will be avalanched by old people and those people will be us. In a few decades our
    solutions to the dilemmas of caring for our elders will be applied to our own lives. The kindness, the
    indifference, and the wisdom will be passed on. The more we love and respect our elders the more we
    teach our own children to love and respect us” p. 17
    a. What are we doing today with issues of caring for the elderly?
    b. What might we want to change in our society, and in our won interactions with the elderly?
  2. The old are not only segregated physically but also by worldview and tempo of life. What does this mean
    in our individualistic and “do it faster” society?
  3. We can learn a great deal from the old. They can teach us about the importance of time, relationships,
    and gratitude. They can teach us how to endure and how to be patient. They can help us put our own pains
    and problems into perspective” p. 38
    a. What have you learned from the people in Pipher’s book?
    b. Apply this to the elderly you know too- what have you learned from them?
  4. “In our culture the old are held to an odd standard. They are admired for not being a bother, for being
    chronically cheerful. They are expected to be interested in others, bland in their opinions, optimistic, and
    emotionally generous. But the young certainly don’t hold themselves to these standards” p.50
    a. Do you agree with the above statement? Why or why not?
    b. Do you feel held to this standard in your social lives? How do you think your generation is viewed by both
    older and younger generations?
  5. Pipher states we have moved from a communal to an individualistic culture and this is causing difficulty in
    understanding between generations.
    a. What are some of the key differences Pipher identifies?
    b. How has child rearing changed?
    c. How have our expectations for community, marriage, and family changed as a result of this more
    individualistic culture?
  6. Pipher makes some strong statements about how psychology divides the generations. Older Americans
    are less likely to talk about pain, trauma, and complaints. They have much more concern with stigma when
    seeking psychological help.
    a. What can generations share with each other to enrich BOTH generations?
    b. How could you work with an elderly person with depression who might be reluctant to speak with a
    mental health professional?
  7. Which individuals “stood out the most for you in the Pipher book? Were any of them a blueprint for an
    “indeal self” in later life? Were any of them a blueprint for a “feared self” in later life? Why?
  8. How did you view the multigenerational facility of “Shady Lane” at the end of the book? Is this a viable
    type of connection or are families and children simply too mobile in today’s world to enjoy this kind of
    connection?
  9. The 5 “R” Theory has a place in our consideration of healthy adulthood and aging. Reflect on where you
    find each of those 5 pieces right now. Contrast that with what you think might be the sources for the 5 r
    pieces 20 years from now. Does this make you think that one set “looks better” than the other? Suppose
    you are concerned about where you could get one of those 5 r pieces 20 years from now. What changes
