Decreasing Substance Abuse
CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT (100 points total): Each student is expected to create an original curriculum for a prevention or promotion workshop. Students are responsible for developing 4 hours of curriculum for a prevention or promotion program related to the research review paper. This is an opportunity to creatively express and further develop the findings in the Research Review assignment. The curriculum should include the following: 1. Rationale State clearly the rationale for either primary prevention or promotion in this area with this population. Identify the key risk factors/vulnerability, as well as programs that have been done previously. How would you conduct an actual needs assessment to justify your approach with this population? The rationale should include general professional perspectives on why this issue is important to address. (2-3 pages) 2. Introduction (1-2 pages) Please note the qualifications of the therapist to use your curriculum, intended audience/participants, a typical format, and supplies needed (in general and specifically for each session). 3. Curriculum Each of the 4 hours should be accounted for (the curriculum should be broken down so that each activity is tied to minutes/hours that add up to 4 hours). A detailed account of the information provided for the 4 hours as well as work sheets and/or activity instructions should be provided within this section. There is no set page length. People in the past have done many things to show four hours’ worth of material. Some have done PowerPoint presentations with handouts and even a certificate for completing their curriculum. Others have shown their information in document form. This is a place for you to be creative with your information! 4. Program Evaluation (2 pages) How will you know if your program is effective? Identify ways in which you will demonstrate the effectiveness of your program. You may develop a survey for this section, although this is not a requirement.

Human Relations
Context: Revolutionary societies typically attempt to reform and/or reimagine human relations in order to bring about a new social order that is more moral, ethical, and just than what came before. Efforts to shape gender roles and channel sexuality have been central to modern revolutionary projects,appearing most often in the form of new man, new woman, and revolutionary family campaigns. This was certainly the case in the 1959 Cuban Revolution and 1979 Iranian Revolution, despite profound ideological differences that became especially apparent as Cuba revolutionary authorities developed a hardline communist party line and Iranian revolutionary authorities turned to fundamentalist Islam in the years immediately following the overthrow of the old regimes. This paper is intended to help you understand these two revolutionary projectsand their often contradictory attitudes towards non-normative sexualities.Compare and contrast the ways in which the Cuban and Iranian revolutions have addressed the problemof non-normative sexualities.1.Why were Cuban and Iranian authorities concerned about non-normative sexualities?2. How did they respond to the problem in the first years after their respective revolutions? 3.How did their responses change over time? Why?4.Whichnon-normative sexualities have become (relatively) acceptable to authorities? Why?5. Which-normative sexualities are still considered a problem? Why?

Cultural Heritage
Assignment: Anthropology 3 Who Owns the Past? Overview Over the past few decades, there has been an expansion of methods in bioarchaeology, the analysis of human skeletal remains. We are now able to extract ancient DNA to understand ancestry, measure stable isotopes to understand an individuals diet, use CAT-scan technology to record previously hidden traits, and so on. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly clear that archaeology is not conducted in an ethical vacuum as descendant communities voices are increasingly being heard regarding the intrusion of archaeologists onto their ancestors. This conflict is especially apparent in a recent article, The Kennewick Man Finally Freed to Share His Secrets (Links to an external site.) , in the Smithsonian Magazine. You are to compose a brief, 750 word essay that compares and contrasts the Kennewick Man case with the African Burial Ground videos. This is not an opinion piece, but a position paper where you will use facts and examples to support your conclusion. African Burial Ground videos: Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbCa_djSo6E&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=MarionNewton Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYug9ZmQZV0&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=MarionNewton Kennewick Man case will be a pdf attachment. The questions below are provided to give you some considerations and directions for your paper–do not respond to each question but incorporate them into an essay with an introduction (including a thesis statement), body, and conclusion that takes a position regarding roles of archaeologists and descendant communities. 1.What role should archaeologists play in reconstructing the past of communities they are not members of? 2.Why would some communities want their ancestors’ remains studied by archaeologists, and other communities might not? 3.When should science, conducted in the interests of the general population, be more important than the ethical concerns of descendant communities? Paper requirements: 1. Your response should be a minimum of 750 words and submitted as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF file in Canvas. 2. 12-point Times New Roman font. 3. Name, course, and date in the upper-left corner. 4. Original paper title (required) centered. 5. References cited at the end of the paper (do not need to place on a new page) 6. No quotations. Instead, cite your sources.
Appropriation In Art
It is hard to nail down a fully accurate, and all-encompassing, definition of postmodernism. However, one characteristic that is often associated with Postmodern art is the use of appropriation. Write a short essay discussing the use of appropriation in a specific work of art. It can be a film, a comic book, a song, a painting, a sculpture, or any other creative endeavor. Be sure to discuss: what is being appropriated was it from another creative piece? It is a found object something that was already produced but is now being incorporated into a new work by someone who had not created the original thing? Is just an idea or concept? What could be the meaning of this appropriation? What added message or concept is brought into play by doing this?

Soft Systems Approaches
ESVS 201 Fire-Related Human Behavior Your town has just experienced a major fire at a social hall where several people were killed. The local newspaper has asked you to write an article that explains how building designers predict what will happen in a fire and why those predictions are sometimes not accurate. In this assignment, prepare a document that addresses the following: · Interpret current systems models, modeling programs, their features, and how they are similar and different. · Explain how hard and soft systems approaches differ and how these differences make the various types of models more useful or less useful. · Identify the logical basis for goal decomposition. Categorize three goal-based system approaches that use the decomposition technique. · Summarize any assumptions in the current method for calculating exit capacities in the model codes. · Determine if a simple linear model of exit capacities is less valid than the effective width model, and state whether or not researchers discovered any inaccuracies. · Identify the source of the effective width model. Describe an important limitation to the accuracy of the effective width model. Document should be four to six pages in length, double spaced. You are required to have an introduction, a statement of purpose (on the first page), a body, and a conclusion. Be sure to credit all sources. This document is required to be in current APA format.
The Aesthetic Autonomy
Discuss the problem of aesthetic autonomy by focusing on one of the above issues: criticism, the ethical content of art, the public role of monuments and murals, or the propaganda value of art. How, if at all, can art and aesthetic value play important political or ethical roles. Should it play those roles? What is aesthetic value such that it may or may not have such power? read this below and use the sources in the prompt to construct an argument that completes the prompt above. The Aesthetic and the Practical Paul C. Taylor discusses the problem of aesthetic autonomy: What is the connection, if any, between ethics and politics, on the one hand, and aesthetic value and art (or expressive culture) on the other? Here is the problem: Art and aesthetic value either have or lack ethical and political import. If art and aesthetic value do have ethical and political import, then whats the point of art? Shouldnt we just engage in direct political and ethical action? Wouldnt that be a more effective means of change? If art and aesthetic value do not have ethical and political import, then it is irrelevant. Even if it has some value, it pales in comparison to the value of a better ethical and political world. The two historical figures we studied have different responses to this. Kant argues that beauty and aesthetic judgment are autonomous. Aesthetic judgments are grounded in a disinterested pleasure and beauty gives rise to such pleasures. When we find something beautiful our judgement is perfectly freefree of our own desires and free of the compulsion of others. Schiller, in contrast, argues that aesthetic value is inseparable from social and political value. Since our study of Kant and Schiller, we have explored several points of contact between art/aesthetic value and ethics/politics: Criticism as Practical Reason: According to Anthony Cross, critical reasons are practical reasons, not theoretical reasons. They give us reasons to act in certain ways. The Intrinsic Question: Can ethical content condition aesthetic value? AW Eaton argues that it can and does in Titians Rape of Europa, whose ethical disvalue diminishes its aesthetic value. Art and Collective Valuing: Monuments and murals (in post-revolution Mexico, or in the Jim Crow South) can function as sites and sources of collective valuing, for better or worse. Art as Propaganda: W.E.B. Du Bois and Paul C. Taylor argue that art has a propagandistic function, serving to help individuals and groups construct a sense of self or identity. thank you, and please, please, please read the prompt !!!!!! I also attached a reading from W.E.B Dubois that you can use as a source if you need it.
