Hi, my teacher ask me to write a empirical research paper but she wanted first to see an outline. When I sent it to her she sent it back with a lot of feed back. I want you please to go over the outline and the feedback and correct the outline to match with the teacher comments . Please before you start fixing make sure you know how the empirical paper is written as it is different from the normal research paper. Please make sure to use easy English words so I can understand and make sure that you follow the correct way of writing an empirical paper. Once you send me the outline with the comment and problem fixed I will send it back to her. i tried to read the prof hand writing and i wrote it in here: - do trade liberalization policies lead to growth level of income inequality in developing countries? - this may be secondary research question that needs attention separately given the answer is predicate on the first answered as "yes" you are assuming it will be. - too much as an empirical issue -some background may be appropriate but it should be quite brief - leave this for the methods section - not thesis this is an assertion - research question should be the focus of the introduction - i still think this is too much of get to a ----- answer you have in mind.- hypotheses to be tested -learn of how an empirical paper is structured in is Q,the Apsr, Jop or other journals. -this will change as the scop of the paper changes.
Be aware the prompt will be done twice To complete this discussion, please do the following: Read your assigned chapter (see module objectives for assigned reading assignments! Each student is responsible for their own discussion - multiple students may have the same chapters, but are expected to submit individual work.) Address the Chapter Review questions (below) in-depth for your chapter review portion of this discussion. Reviews also include introductory materials or chapters that everyone has to read. Find two scholarly, academic, peer-reviewed sources to add to this discussion - this can be to add a different perspective, add more to a particular viewpoint, answer a question you may have, or add information that the chapter did not cover! Reply to 2 classmates - making sure that replies are substantive in nature (so more than just praising their work, ideas, or writing style). Chapter Review Questions for Part 4 Start off with a summary of the chapter(s) that you were assigned. This includes introductory materials or materials that everyone had to read. Your summary should include the main points of the chapter - to the point where if someone didn't read the chapter they'd be able to follow along. You can do this in paragraph form, as bullet points, or as an outline - I'm okay with any of these options. Make sure you cite (see above)! Continue with overall impressions of the reading content - this is where you can give your opinions of what you have read. What do you think of the content? How accurate was it? Was it biased or skewed? Continue with increased understanding - what is one thing that you now understand about public policy in criminal justice that you did not understand before the reading? CONTINUE WITH QUESTIONS YOU STILL HAVE - WAS THERE ANYTHING MISSED OR OVERLOOKED BY THE READING? WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU STILL HAVE AFTER COMPLETING THE READING AND WHAT ARE THEY? End with your contribution to the conversation - this is where you will bring in the two (2) scholarly, academic peer-reviewed articles to add to the discussion. This can be done in a multitude of ways - see above.
Institutional Change Voters in the United States express low levels of satisfaction with the federal government and with the U.S. Congress in particular. A variety of institutional reforms have been proposed to improve voters’ satisfaction with Congress. Three such reforms include: public financing of campaigns, terms limits for members of Congress, and independent redistricting commissions that draw Congressional boundaries after the census. Evaluate two of these reforms and consider whether you would expect them to improve American’s satisfaction with Congress. In doing so, you need to describe the reform and how you would expect it to change the current political system. You must be clear about how these expected changes would (or would not) improve Americans’ satisfaction with Congress. Paper Logistics: Papers should be double-spaced, 12-point font, 1 inch margins.

Deliverable 6 - Deviance Video Collage Assignment Content COMPETENCY This competency will allow you to demonstrate your understanding of deviance in the digital world and the changes to deviance that we see due to technological advances. STUDENT SUCCESS CRITERIA View the grading rubric for this deliverable by selecting the “This item is graded with a rubric” link, which is located in the Details & Information pane. INSTRUCTIONS You are working for a local department store in the Operations Department. Since you began working with this organization, you have noticed that your team members are more comfortable with technology. However, the available technology in the store has not been updated. It is also apparent to you that as technology has improved in our society, so has the types of deviant behaviors that occur, and you're aware that deviant behaviors in both the physical world and in digital environments can impact business practices. With the observations that you have made, you approach your boss who has also noticed an increase in deviant behaviors within society and has an overall concern about how the store can be impacted. Because of his increasing concern about the impact of deviant behaviors on the store, and his knowledge of your familiarity with the subject, you are asked by your supervisor to create a video collage that will demonstrate your interpretation of deviance in the digital world and the impact it can have on the store you are working in. Your supervisor informs you that this video collage will be presented to your supervisor and colleagues in order to help you and the business determine the types of deviance that need to be addressed, and how to effectively manage it through daily operations. Your supervisor encourages you to use a variety of visual representations in order to captivate your audience and get your message across. For this video collage, you are to reflect and address the following questions and information. What is defined as deviant in the physical world? What is defined as deviant in the digital or online world? Compare and contrast deviance between the two environments. Consider various forms of deviance in both the physical and virtual worlds, and explain how they impact society. How would Conflict Theory define deviance? How would Symbolic Interaction Theory define deviance? How do the theories discussed impact the meaning or interpretation of deviance in a digital or online environment? How do you envision that deviance in the virtual world, or deviance due to technological advances, can impact your store? What are some ways to manage various forms of deviance in the day-to-day operations of your store?
