There are seven topic points that need a short response to. The discussion is a debate about functional and conflict theories as to why stratification exist. I've attached the instructions on the assignment. There needs to be a clear response to each topic.
Reading Assignment 4 (Section 7) Deviant Careers, Identity and Lifecourse Criminology Introduction, Tammy L. Anderson / Kinds of Deviance: A Sequential Model from Outsiders, Howard S. Becker / 27. Crime and Deviance in the Lifecourse, Robert Sampson and John Laub / Weighing the Consequences of a Deviant Career: Factors Leading to an Exit From Prostitution, Sharon Oselin / Connections: Understanding Street Prostitution from Deviant Career and Life-Course Criminology Perspectives, Emily Bonistall and Kevin Ralston, Critical Thinking Questions / Answer one question: List and discuss five techniques of neutralization of Sykes and Matza as presented by Becker (pp.307-308). Distinguish between master and auxillary status traits (Becker, p. 309). Which of the two most likely applies to the status of career criminal. 3.Sampson and Laub (pp. 315-316). introduce two concepts useful to understanding crime in the life-course: trajectory and transitions. Compare and contrast the two with examples. As a description of the life-course, discuss the connections among trajectories, childhood events, and adult experiences. The concept of deviant career developed before that of life-course criminology. There are similarities and differences in the two approaches. How does each explain the changes in criminal behavior over the person's life. How does each approach account for the successful exit from a deviant/ criminal career? Reading Assignment 4 (Section 8) Moral Panics and Risk Society Introduction, Tammy L. Anderson / Deviance and Moral Panics from Folk Devils and Moral Panics, Stanley Cohen / Moral Panics: Culture, Politics, and Social Construction, Erich Goode and Nachman Ben-Yehuda / Moral panic versus the risk society: the implications of the changing sites of social anxiety, Sheldon Ungar / Connections: [A]moral Panics and Risk in Contemporary Drug and Viral Pandemic Claims, Philip R. Kavanaugh and R.J. Maratea, Critical Thinking Questions / Points Possible: 25 Deliverable Length: 2-3 pages Answer one question: In the Introduction Anderson summarizes moral panic as "an intense media- based reaction to a pressing issue in society." Cohen locates the concept squarely in the interactionist labeling/transactional tradition. As a process of social construction, the moral panic plays out in a battleground of opposing groups, mass media, and meaning creation. Compare the two primary competing groups of moral entrepreneurs and folk devils. What is the role of mass media in initiating and managing the moral panic. Distinguish between Lemert's concepts of primary and secondary deviance, with examples (p. 359). Which of the two relates specifically to the process of deviance-labeling? Identify and discuss the five criteria of moral panic according to Goode and Ben-Yehuda. Do you think moral panics contribute to long-term, lasting social change, or are they more akin to fads and fashion (quick to appear and also to fade)? Ungar compares the concept of moral panic to the emergence of so-called risk society. How does the social anxiety of risk society compare to the moral panic? Evaluate and critique Beck's observation (p. 372) that "risk society is a catastrophic society."

Imagine you were hired to give a presentation to trauma nurses at a local hospital about health and well-being. Use a digital presentation tool to create a Professional Development (PD) session for the trauma nurses that addresses the following: 1. Explain each of the stress levels (low, medium, and high). 2. Explain eustress benefits and distress management strategies. 3. Explain the impact of well-being in a person’s professional and personal life with the goal of achieving a well-balanced life. 4. Describe ways to manage stress based on a healthy, balanced lifestyle in each of the following areas: Physically Mentally Emotionally Spiritually Relationally Professionally Then, using Microsoft Word or another document application, create a handout for attendees of your PD session that summarizes your presentation about managing stress based on a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Include in your handout three to five local and virtual resources for each of the areas. Include links to the resources in the handout. Cite two to four scholarly sources.
Use the template provided Part 1: Designing the Performance Scorecard Apply the PDC-HS to a hypothetical set of employee performance data (provided in the assignment brief) to identify areas needing improvement. Design a performance scorecard that includes: Key performance indicators (KPIs) based on the PDC-HS findings. Specific, measurable targets for each KPI. A rating system or scale to assess performance against each target. Ensure the scorecard is clear, user-friendly, and suitable for the intended role within a human services organization. Part 2: Developing the Evaluation Plan Create a detailed plan for how the performance scorecard will be evaluated. This plan should include: Methods for data collection and analysis. Frequency of evaluations and specific dates for performance reviews. Criteria for determining the success of the scorecard in improving performance.
Instructions Week Two Presbycusis Paper Presbycusis is a condition affecting the hearing of many adults. There are a variety of causes, including damage to structures of the middle and inner ear. The result is loss of hearing—not complete deafness, but difficulty in detecting certain sounds within the normal range of hearing. Use each numbered item as a required subheading in your paper. Students should preview the grading rubric before beginning the assignment. Explain how normal hearing occurs. Include in your discussion the following points: How is sound transmitted from the environment outside the body to the inner ear? What structures are involved, and how do they transmit sound? What happens in the inner ear (cochlea) when sound waves are converted to neural signals? How is sound frequency (pitch) processed? Next, summarize the causes of presbycusis and explain how they will interfere with the normal processing of sound as outlined above. Discuss one source of presbycusis involving a problem with the outer/middle ear. Discuss one source of presbycusis involving a problem with the inner ear. Finally, describe what it might be like to have presbycusis. Include the following points: If you have normal hearing now, how would your ability to converse with others be affected? What activities that you now enjoy would be limited by this condition? How would such a condition affect your work life? The paper should include: Be a minimum of 3.5 and a maximum of 4.5 full pages, size 12 font Times New Roman, double spaced with 1 inch margins, NOT including the Title and References pages. A title page Include the sub headings of: "Introduction", "How Normal Hearing Occurs", "Causes of Presbycusis", "Having Presbycusis", and "Conclusions".
Every journey begins with a single step. Before you can become a master researcher providing thoughtful information analysis and meaningful conclusions, you must prepare your workspace and clean your tools. Without the crucial steps of organizing the data, preparing your software for analysis, and sharpening your quantitative skills, your research question will not be answered. For this Discussion, you will learn how to prepare the information you have collected, removing corrupted or missing data in order to begin studying it. You will use the dataset provided to practice identifying challenges that arise during the cleaning process before presenting your findings to the class. To Prepare: Review and use the Cleaning and Management Example dataset and Cleaning and Management Example Dataset Codebook as you review the Cleaning Data Sets Job Aid found in the Learning Resources. Access the Cleaning and Management Practice dataset in the Learning Resources to complete the Cleaning and Management Quiz (Note: Allow 30 minutes to complete). Complete the Cleaning and Management Quiz by Day 3. Note: This quiz is not assessed, but it must be completed prior to your posting to this Discussion. Reflect on the cleaning process when completing the Cleaning and Management Quiz. Post an explanation of the challenges you might encounter in your experience through the cleaning process and how you might remedy those challenges. Then, explain why it is important to clean and manage data, and why this would be important to generalizability, confidence in accuracy of the results, or psychometric properties.
