In recent years, more and more scandals are coming into the public view through the Internet and social media because the latter are now considered as a venue for online activism. Analyze the advantages and risks of exposing wrongdoings and seeking justice online. Use specific examples to support your claim. use 2 readings that i give you as reference and also add one addition academic sources.

Between 1945 and the early 1960s, the color line in virtually every sport in the United States was broken. African Americans, in increasingly large numbers, were able to participate in leagues and on teams that had previously been blocked off to them. At the same time, however, most of the leagues and teams African American sports administrators had organized in response to being excluding from white-run sport had to be discontinued. In a well-organized essay, discuss the benefits and drawbacks from such a development. Which leagues and athletes benefited the most? What, in particular, was lost? Were there any ramifications of such a loss? In what ways do we see the color line continuing in the decades after the early 1960s?

I do not have very specific info from the professor.  The only file she has given is how to write a lab report pdf she pulled from the tutoring center.  I am flexible on the subject of the paper. If it needs to be changed to something else, please message me to ensure that we went over it in my class. I dont want to turn in a paper on something we didnt cover.  This week you are designing, carrying out, and writing up your own physics experiment! The December 7-10 pages provide guidance, and I expect to see you at virtual office hours with questions! I’m happy to help you at any stage of the process, even to help you think of an experiment. I will be asking the following questions when I grade: Is this an experiment that relates substantively to PHY 111? (You can make the connection clear in your introduction.) Are the independent, dependent, and control variables clear and appropriate? Does the experiment actually address the hypothesis? Was the experiment carried out with appropriate measurements and precision? Is a thorough and accurate understanding of the relevant physics demonstrated? Is the experiment original (we didn’t already do it in class and I can’t find it in existence already online)? Is the conclusion appropriate and commensurate with the results? Does the lab report follow the guidelines — both the format and the substance of each section?

For the final assignment, I will provide each of you with a total synthesis paper to read and evaluate. You will write a short, informal paper (~3-4 pages) containing the following sections (numbered, please):• Brief bio of the researchers• Importance of the work, history, previous work – must contain at least one image taken from a previous synthesis or study of the molecule.• General plan and key step(s) – must contain discussion of the core concept(s) behind the key steps including at least one original ChemDraw composition.• Discussion on the success or failures of the approach, including discussion of the execution of the key step.• One additional reaction you had never seen before and found interesting, including a mechanism for that reaction (can be drawn by you or lifted from a previous paper).• References – must use at least 4 original research papers beyond the assigned one (so at least 5 total). No more than 1 paper can be cited in section 1 alone.https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.orglett.8b02478(Total Synthesis of Repraesentin F and Configuration Reassignment by a Gold(I)-Catalyzed Cyclization Cascade)
