SOCIAL DISORGANIZATION

/in /by

Referring to the 2019 USA Today listing on US cities with the highest violent crime rates, identify a city that has experienced a significant increase in violent crime in the last 5 years. The USA Today listing can be found here and is posted on Blackboard under ‘course reading’: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/02/28/crime-rate-cities-every-state-us-where-violence-rising/39117505/

Then, determine why crime has risen in that particular city. What has changed in the city along with the crime rates that might be relevant in explaining the rising crime?

Next, determine whether social disorganization theory can explain the increase in crime over time. Which factors emphasized by the social disorganization approach to understanding crime (i.e., poverty, heterogeneity, population turnover, etc.) are present in the city you’re studying (if any)? Which has increased in that city?

Semantic Caching Demo on SparkSQL and HDFS

Overview: A caching system management used in SparkSQL/Apache Spark and HDFS

Requirements: SparkSQL, ApacheSpark, HDFS, Data caching algorithm and English skills.

Motivation: We are now using the HDFS to store and manage the data. And we do also the data analytics using SparkSQL in Apache Spark.

Normally, the Application Driver of Apache Spark will load the distributed data in HDFS into memory and do the processing. Finally, Spark will return the results to the HDFS. Sometime, the results we got from previous queries could be used again once or more time by next queries. Then, we want to cache these result in our memory long enough by using a mechanism of caching, it called semantic caching.

What we want is: an implementation of semantic caching program in Apache Spark. The program should be done by Scala/Java language but Scala is preferable.

Costs Of Capital

Individual or component costs of capital) Compute the cost of the following:
a). A bond that has $1,000 par value (face value0 and a contract or coupon interest rate of 11 percent. A new issue would have a flotation cost of 5 percent of the $1,125 market value. The bond matures in 10 years. The firm’s average tax rate is 30 percent and its marginal tax rate is 34 percent. 

  

b). A new common stock issue that paid a $1.80 dividend last year. The par value of the stock is $15, and earnings per share have grown at a rate of 7 percent per year. This growth rate is expected to continue into the foreseeable future. The company maintains a constant dividend-earnings ratio of 30 percent. The price of this stock is now $27.50, but 5 percent flotation costs are anticipated.

ANALYZING AN ARGUMENT THROUGH MULTIPLE LENSES

So far this term we have looked at a discussion on animals and morality through multiple
perspectives. Mark Twain sarcastically told us that humans are the lower animal because
of our morality. On the other hand, E.B. White draws parallels against humans and farm
animals as he contemplates the world as suffering. Lastly, David Foster Wallace
navigates through lobster consumption and asks us to confront our own behavior in this
consumption.
In this assignment you will discuss the arguments from at least two articles that have
been discussed in the second unit this term. Using a discussion of animals, you will first
develop an argument by answering the question: is morals what determines negative
human behavior? (However, you may develop whatever argument you want). There are
three texts that you can use to support your argument: The Lowest Animal by Mark
Twain, Death of a Pig by E.B. White, and Consider the Lobster by David Foster
Wallace. You must use at least two texts in developing your argument however you may
use all three if you wish.
The purpose of this paper is to synthesize multiple texts to support an overall argument.
You will discuss the arguments of your outside sources and put them in conversation with
one another. You can use the texts to illustrate your argument (support). You may also
complicate or challenge your outside sources to support your argument (or show how
they complicate/challenge one another).

Requirements:
1.
Formulate one singular thesis statement (debatable argument) that answers the
question: is morals what determines negative human behavior?
2.
Choose texts that illustrate your argument or that you are interested in
complicating or challenging.
3.
Introduce your sources and articulate their arguments (must use at least two texts)
4.
Put the texts into a conversation with one another. How do they play off of each
other?
