End of Poverty

 
 
Document and reflect upon some of the local and scholarly “voices” heard in the film, “End of Poverty?”
To deepen your visual experiences of the inequalities entangled in contemporary
global formations of power, wealth, and social status between what is distinguished as the “Global
South” and the “Global North” of the planetary “states” (countries), please watch the film “End of
Poverty?” streaming from HPU Library (no advertisements) that can also be found on the web
(with advertisements) at the following site: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x22eynh.
For the assignment, I ask each of you to document and reflect upon some of the local
and scholarly “voices” heard in the film regarding global poverty. The paper should be
approximately 3 pages (double spaced, font 12, standard margins). If it helps you, you have been
provided a study guide to utilize that is available for extra-credit points—note details on
announcement page. Below are the details to include for the project (as a rule, you want to make
it obvious to me you are watching the film so note as many details as necessary to make this
explicit):
I.
Describe some Voices:
a. Impoverished Peoples
i. Note some details from voices of at least two different “peoples” in the
film
1. Provide some basic identification of the people including
speaker
a. Environment of the people (sugar cane field, mine, etc.)
b. Country, city, type of environment they discuss
c. Nationality/ethnicity
d. Social conditions/status/role (cane workers, miners,
mother, etc.)
e. Gender
f. Other dimensions you want to highlight
2. Either paraphrase some of the main ideas, issues, facts, etc. the
people discuss or note specific quotes of interest to you
b. Scholars
i. Note some details from voices of at least two scholars in the film
1. Provide some basic identification of the scholar
a. Country/nationality/ethnicity
b. Social status/role (professor, profession, etc.)
c. Gender
d. Other dimensions you want to highlight
2. Either paraphrase some of the main ideas, issues, facts, etc. the
scholar discusses or note specific quotes of interest to you
II.
Reflect on some of the voices:
a. What was interesting about the “worldviews” they communicated?
b. Do these worldviews communicate to you new ideas, facts, values, etc. about the relationships of people(s) to the contemporary global political economy, the history of globalization and poverty? Elaborate.
III.
Essay Structure:
a. Introduction
i. As is possible, articulate a thesis statement that expresses the major point you want to address from hearing these voices and will use to link the content of the paper
ii. Note a few supporting points you will address in the paper
iii. Feel free to “occasion” the introduction however makes sense to you (an anecdote that links the voices to you; a quote; some issue you want to highlight to frame the essay; some emotion you want to emphasize to help you frame the essay, etc.).
b. Body Paragraphs
i. Ideally, there should be at least two body paragraphs, but feel free to do as many as you want
ii. Structure the paragraphs as you please (integrating scholars and peoples; separating them by themes; distinguishing scholars from peoples in some comparisons or contrasts; etc.)
c. Conclusion
i. Conclusions are often either centripetal (pull the different ideas, issues, people discussed together into greater significance) or centrifugal (use the different ideas, issues, people, discussed to lead you to further questions and ideas to explore) or some combination of both. Feel free to organize the conclusion as you wish, but one way or another try and use the earlier components of the essay to build some concluding thoughts that further reflect on the film at a broader level.

Integrated with cybersecurity policy

Having a sound plan ready if an incident should take place that impacts an organization’s systems is an important requirement for the integrity of any organization’s systems. This assignment will reinforce the concepts you learned in this unit regarding the creation of an incident response plan.
Part 1:
Using the Internet and/or the library, research and complete the following:
In 400 words, complete the following:
Create an incident response plan, integrated with cybersecurity policy, that assists with organizational recovery. Include concepts such as maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) and recovery point objective (RPO) in your answer.
Part 2:
In 150 or more words for each answer, respond to the following:
• Investigate and identify a ranking of disaster types.
• What are some alternate site considerations?
• Analyze backup solutions and why they are important.

Measuring Devices and Density Post-lab

 
Practice calculating densities from experimental data.
Practice calculating and interpreting percent error for data.
Practice showing work for calculations in chemistry.
Reflect on the experiment that was performed.
Procedure:
For your post-lab work, please address the following questions for each part of the experiment.
Format and submission options:
Write this information on paper, take a picture, then upload onto this assignment page as a pdf. OR
Type the information and then upload onto this assignment page as a pdf. OR
Write this information on paper or type the information and then submit it in person at class on the due date.
Lab activity 2 is now complete and there is no other required material to submit for Lab Activity 2.
Questions for Part A:
1. For each instrument that you evaluated in lab for Part A, choose a value from the list of possible readings provided that could be read using the instrument
. Hints: Not all options on the list will be used. Even though there may be more than one correct answer for a given instrument, please choose only one to
write on each line. A value should be used only once.
Beaker ________
Buret ________
Graduated Cylinder ________
Graduated Pipet ________
Thermometer ________
List of possible readings: 500. mL, 110.33 mL, 80.1 mL, 75 mL, 60.23 mL, 45.01 mL, 30.9 mL, 20.0 mL, 8 mL, 0.36 mL, 401.2 oC, 205 oC, 89.3oC, 45.02 oC, 18
oC.
2. In two to five sentences, explain what criteria you used to make these decisions. Keep your explanation universal so that it can apply to all of the
instruments.
3. What was the most challenging aspect of this part of the experiment for you?
Questions for Part B:
1. Calculate the density of the unknown liquid. Show all of your work in the proper format, as shown in the sample lab notebook pages.
2. Using the accepted value for your unknown liquid from the following list, calculate the percent error for your density of the unknown liquid.
Solution A, C, F = 1.0490 g/mL
Solution B, D, E = 1.0064 g/mL
3. Create a table, with a table number and title, that includes your unknown liquid number, your calculated density for your unknown liquid, the accepted value
for your unknown liquid, and the percent error for the density of the unknown liquid.
4. Was your calculated density higher or lower than the accepted value? Indicate one possible experimental reason for this. Your reason should not be a
calculation error as that can be fixed at home. Your reason needs to be specific to this experiment.
5. If you were going to repeat this part of the experiment in the future, what would you do differently to improve the results?
Questions for Part C:
1. Calculate the density of the unknown metal. Show all of your work in the proper format, as shown in the sample lab notebook pages.
2. Using the accepted value for your unknown metal from the following list, calculate the percent error for your density of the unknown metal.
Metal 1 = Aluminum = 2.70 g/mL
Metal 2 = Zinc = 7.14 g/mL
Metal 3 = Lead = 10.83 g/mL
3. Create a table, with a table number and title, that includes your unknown metal number, your calculated density for the unknown metal, the accepted value
for your unknown metal, and the percent error for the density of the unknown metal.
4. Was your calculated density higher or lower than the accepted value? Indicate one possible experimental reason for this. Your reason should not be a
calculation error as that can be fixed at home. Your reason needs to be specific to this experiment.
5. If you were going to repeat this part of the experiment in the future, what would you do differently to improve the results?
