The goal of the memorandum is to help your company develop an organizational strategy that aligns with the ones published by the US Government. To aid you in your efforts you can use the following paper from the Atlantic Council (https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/content-series/tec... to an external site.).

Supervised drug (injection) sites should be supported by Health Canada and are an effective strategy to preventing overdoses and rehabilitation services or the federal government should not condone the operation of these sites. Minimum wage hikes should reflect the increasing cost of living and be set by the government or keep with incremental increases and up to the employer? Health and Health Care: Keep universal health care at all costs or privatize the health care system to make it more efficient. War and Peacekeeping: Expand role of peacemaking or bring back focus of military on peacekeeping? International Aid: Canada should be sending more money to developing countries or less.

For this week's discussion post, read about how the Student’s T-test was developed by William Sealy Gossett and post some ideas (not more than 150 words) about other ways (besides comparing batches of Guinness beer) that a T-test may be useful and very applicable in social science. As you discuss T-tests, note the several different kinds of t-tests (e.g. independent samples, paired-samples, etc.) and in what research context (experiments, medical trials, etc.) they may be more appropriate. You can also do this by coming up with a set of DV and IV that you would use for each type. For this week's discussion post, think of two variables you wish to compare using the t-test. Recall that a t-test is a comparison of means test for dichotomous IVs and interval/ratio DVs. Write a post (not to exceed 150 words) in which you discuss your IV and DV, theory for why your IV and DV may be related, and what you expect from a t-test. For instance, why do you expect there to be differences in means between your sub-groups? Which sub-group mean do you expect to be higher/lower and why? Run the analysis in SPSS, and conclude your post by briefly discussing and interpreting the results of your test (remember to use the language of "rejecting" or "failing to reject" the null hypothesis).
Reading Assignment 9 Critical Criminology, Culture of Control, Mass Incarceration Introduction, Tammy L. Anderson / Child Saving Movement in Illinois from The Child Savers: The Invention of Delinquency, Anthony M. Platt / The Hyper-Criminalization of Black and Latino Male Youth in the Era of Mass Incarceration, Victor Rios / Reforming Education Through Crime from Governing through Crime, Jonathan Simon / Connections: The Social Control of Youth across Institutional Spheres, Aaron Kupchik, Critical Thinking Questions / Answer two questions: 1. Platt provides an historical analysis of the Child-Saving Movement in Illinois at the turn of the last century. Certainly the movement represents a very important philosophy of reform, culminating in the Juvenile Court Act of 1899. The legislation established the first juvenile court with specific jurisdiction over "dependent, neglected, and delinquent children." Platt underlines the ambiguity of this significant reform effort, arguing that it represented a relatively conservative, middle class consolidation of political interests and NOT a radical departure from the philosophy of social control. Discuss the three conclusions of the article (p. 405) which expose the conservative bias of the legislation. In particular, just how "critical" can reform efforts be in the face of political conflict among community interest groups? 2. In the Introduction Anderson argues that throughout the twentieth century up to the present day, the juvenile justice system struggles to balance human treatment of children (e.g., those neglected and abused) with issues of social control of especially violent youth. Imagine that you are a politician charged with developing legislation to reform the current juvenile justice system. Using any or all of the readings in this assignment as your sources, give a summary of your reform recommendations, specifically addressing any two of these issues: "the school-to-prison pipeline" (Kupchik); the idea of "governance through crime" (Simon) in which social institutions as well as mass media advocate punitive policies at schools in an attempt to enforce safety standards and manage threats; the continuing "hypercriminalization" of Black and Latino male youth. 3. Critical criminology is founded upon the observation that criminal justice reflects the same biases evident throughout society with respect to discrimination and racism, as well as economic and social vulnerabilities of dispossessed groups. This is especially the case when considering minority youth experience. Following Simon, Kupchik (pp. 432-436) maintains that contemporary society "governs through crime"-especially in the management of school conduct as a response to mass murders on campus. Explain why Kupchik feels that schools are in fact less safe, largely because of negative social consequences of social control mechanisms.
Aim for more than a summary, and use your write-up to show your understanding of the readings. Where possible, deepen your discussion by adding comparisons, addressing points of agreement or disagreement, or adding critiques (refer to comments given on previous assignments). Your answer should be in paragraph form with proofread, clear prose, 350 words. Write as you have for previous journal entries, but without the prompt. the reading: Mobilization and Self-Determination “On National self-determination” (Ch. 15) by Margaret Moore, in Nations and Nationalism: A Reader “Whose imagined community?” (Ch. 16) by Partha Chatterjee, in Nations and Nationalism: A Reader “Constructing national and cultural identities in Sub-Saharan Francophone Africa” (Ch. 17) by Dominic Thomas, in Nations and Nationalism: A Reader “How nationalisms spread – Eastern Europe adrift the tides and cycles of nationalist contention” (Ch. 18) by Mark Beissinger, in Nations and Nationalism: A Reader
