It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity” (Du Bois – Of Our Spiritual Strings p.2).

You will write one long paragraph for each, with the thesis in the first sentence, at least three supporting ideas, other quotes or references to help analysis and explanation of those quotes, modern contextualization, and a concluding sentence.   Each paragraph should be 10 sentences minimum

  • The quotes from other.
  1. “Quite rightly, we do not normally take the behavior of animals as a model for how we may treat them” (Singer & Mason 773).
  2. “A land ethic, then reflects the existence of an ecological conscience, and this in turn reflects a conviction of individual responsibility for the health of the land” (Leopold – The Land Ethic p.124).
  3.  “With consistency, a great soul has simply nothing to do” (Emerson self reliance p.7).
  4. “Yet he does not know what to do with the time he saves, and spends one part of his income to kill the time he is so proud of having saved” (Fromm 331).
  5. “It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity” (Du Bois – Of Our Spiritual Strings p.2).
  • The Quotes from the book: A world of Ideas
  1. “Let us finally consider how naïve it is altogether to say: ‘Man ought to be such and such’” (Nietzsche – Morality as Anti-Nature p.350).
  2. “It is much safer to be feared than to be loved when one of the two must be lacking” (Machiavelli  – The Qualities of The Prince p.227).
  3. “If you want to govern the people, you must place yourself below them, if you want to lead the people, you must learn how to follow them” (Lao-tzu Thoughts from the Tao-te Ching p.213-214).
  4. “For to be subject to appetite is to be a slave, while to obey the laws laid down by society is to be free” (Rousseau – The Origin of Civil Society p.253).
  5. “As I read and contemplated the subject, behold! that very discontentment which Master Hugh had predicted would follow my learning to read had already come, to torment and sting my soul to unutterable anguish”  (Douglass – From Narrative of The Life p.334).

I have attached the resources below and also highlight all of the quotes.

Describe the record type and explain its characteristics.  Discuss whether you will be observing social/emotional development, physical development, cognitive development, or language development (choose one), and what the purposes are for assessing that domain.

According to child development specialists, one of the most accurate ways to learn about children is to observe them in daily activities” (Wortham, 2012, p. 117).  Among the many types of observation discussed in Chapter 5, anecdotal records, running records, time sampling, and event sampling are widely used in schools and centers across the nation.  For this discussion, you will begin to develop a plan for the observation types you will use in your written assignment this week, which involves the observation of an actual child.  Here is what you are asked to do:

 

  1. Choose either anecdotal or running records.  Describe the record type and explain its characteristics.  Discuss whether you will be observing social/emotional development, physical development, cognitive development, or language development (choose one), and what the purposes are for assessing that domain.
  2. Next, choose either time sampling or event sampling.  Describe the sampling method and tell what its characteristics are. Discuss whether you will be observing social/emotional development, physical development, cognitive development or language development (choose one that is a different domain from above) and what the purposes are for assessing that domain.

 

Attached is an example of the anecdotal and running record as well as the time and event sampling.

 

Here is a video to assist you with this discussion this, all about the observation process:

Discuss the domestic terrorist event. Provide information about the critical infrastructure that was impacted and how the role of protecting this infrastructure was forever changed due to this event.

In Unit VII, you will submit a research paper based on a terrorist event that has happened in history. You will identify the event and research the environmental, political, economic, and sociological impact of the event and the response at all levels of government. Your research will include identifying the type of response partners and agencies involved with the response and recovery of the event and outlining the after actions and lessons learned from the event.

To prepare for that upcoming assignment, this unit will have you begin researching articles and identify your chosen event. Your instructor will provide feedback on the topic that you select for your research paper.

Your assignment for this unit is to write a brief paragraph that identifies a selected terrorist event and then to create an annotated bibliography for two research articles from the Waldorf Online Library that you plan to use in your future paper. You should select sources that meet the criteria below.

Discuss the domestic terrorist event. Provide information about the critical infrastructure that was impacted and how the role of protecting this infrastructure was forever changed due to this event.  Discuss the national strategies for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as it relates to this event. If your event occurred prior to the development of the DHS, discuss what strategies were likely developed as a reaction to the event you selected

Your annotated bibliography must be a minimum of three pages in length and adhere to APA style.

You have to go on www.waldorfuniversity.com  To find the two article in the library
