Requirements:1. Propose a research question related to our studies. There are several examples listed below – you may use one of those if you wish or propose your own2. Identify the independent variable and the dependent variables3. Suggest an hypothesis4. Go to our library and find at least 1 peer-reviewed academic journal article related to your research question. Provide the Reference to that article in APA format.Research Question:After you select a basic topic, you need to develop a research question that expresses what you intend to study. It should include independent and dependent variables, which are discussed below. One easy way to begin the development of a research question is to simply state your topic idea as a question. For example: Topic – I’m interested in finding out if race impacts prison sentence length. Research Question: Does race impact prison sentence length? Then refine the question: Do African-American non-violent felons’ receive longer prison sentences than their White non-violent felon counterparts?Independent and Dependent Variables:The Independent Variable (IV) is the social/identifying element that may have an impact on the Dependent Variable (DV). For example, two common IV’s that we study are race and age. The race or age of the accused may have an impact on whether or not the accused is prosecuted.The Dependent Variable is the social element that varies based on how the independent variable interacts with it, such as prison sentence length.I think of it like this: The dependent variable (prison sentence length) depends on the independent variable (race of offender).Examples:1. A convicted felons’ prison sentence length (dependent variable) may vary by felons’ race (independent variable). The prison sentence length depends on the race of the felon.2. A convicted felons’ prison sentence length (dependent variable) may vary by felons’ economic class (dependent variable). The prison sentence length depends on the economic class of the felon.3. Compared with men (independent variable), women (independent variable) receive lighter prison sentences (dependent variable) for the same offenses.4. Juvenile offenders sentenced to juvenile facilities (dependent variable) are more likely to have committed a violent offense (dependent variable) when compared with non-violent juvenile offenders (independent variable).5. Black juveniles and adults (independent variable) are more likely to have criminal justice contact (dependent variable) than White juveniles and adults (independent variable).6. Black juvenile offenders (independent variable) are waived to adult court (dependent variable) more often than White juvenile offenders (independent variable).Hypothesis:An hypothesis is essentially a guess about how the independent variable(s) will impact the dependent variable(s). It’s basically your best guess on the answer to your research question before you have done your research. For example, I hypothesize that women receive lighter prison sentences when compared with men. Another example: I hypothesize that Black juveniles have more contact with the juvenile justice system than White juveniles.General requirements:Submissions should be typed, double-spaced, 1″ margins, times new roman 12 pt font, and saved as .doc, .docx, .pdf.Use APA format for citations and referencesView the grading rubric so you understand how you will be assessed on this Assignment.Disclaimer- Originality of attachments will be verified by Turnitin.

1. Give your review a special headline or phrase to describe its “tension.” Grab the reader’s attention or entice people to read your review.                                            1 pointFocus the paper                                                                                                                        1 pointNear the beginning tell the reader all the obligatorystuff – the title of the movie, the year it was made, the type of movie it is [comedy, documentary, tragedy, biography, etc.]  In one sentence or two, explain verysimply how the movie portrays racism  – not necessarily what happens. [Remember your focus is on racism in America and how it impacts the characters.]Highlight the understanding of “religion” [this entails beliefs and values in the movie it may not be necessarily connecter with or to “church.”                                                                                                                                                                                                    3 pointsWhat characters believe it without question?  Who challenges or assumes another understanding of the situation?  What are the implications of the ending?  Does this movie support or undermine racism as you understand it?Describe a key moment or idea.                                                                          2 pointsGo into detail about something significant that touched, intrigued or bothered you.  What scene or scenes do you think was/were pivotal in understanding the real issue? Capture the “essence” of the movie as it relates to Racism and Religion [Values] in America.   Give your own opinion. Evaluate the movie’s presentation of racism in America                                                                                                                                    2 points  Do you agree or disagree with the portrayal of racism or religion? EXPLAIN WHY you agree or disagree.  Was the portrayal of the situation believable?  Did the movie deepen your understanding of racism?  Justify your opinion, [that opinion should grow out of what you wrote in the rest of the review].  Give concrete reasons to support your position.Communicating across the curriculum                                                                              1  point

This discussion includes several steps. Please answer the following questions:1. Write about a research topic that you are interested in. Explain why you are interested in this topic.2. Develop three research questions that would help you explore your research topic. List these three research questions out in your initial post.3. Watch the following video and answer the following questions. For each of your three research questions, clearly label each of the independent variables and dependent variables included in your research questions.  Also, keep in mind that a research question is: clear, focused, concise, complex, arguable4. Provide a clear and concise hypothesis for each research question. What do you predict will be the relationship between your variables?5. Would a quantitative or qualitative data analysis answer your research question? Why did you pick this type of data analysis? What would a quantitative data analysis tell you about your research questions that you would not likely learn from a qualitative data analysis and vice versa?To help you complete the fifth step above, you can read about differences between quantitative and qualitative data analysis here (scroll down to see the sections on quantitative and qualitative data analysis).Please see Youtube link for video to answer questions for assignment.https://youtu.be/H_ZE45FiDSc

Instructions Cultural Considerations in Learning and Development You are currently the head trainer of a global U.S. automobile manufacturer. The organization has decided to expand its operations into the Eastern market such as China, Japan, and Singapore. The vice president of human resources has asked that you create a proposal outlining your plans for a new hire orientation program for the Eastern market. In your proposal, include the elements listed below. Discuss how the Eastern market will potentially view new hire orientation, and then discuss two to three ways to tailor the new hire orientation to this market. Discuss how the Eastern market perceives the relationship between the learner and trainer. Discuss who will be responsible for giving the new hire orientation to the Eastern employees and how the orientation will be delivered. For example, will a local who is familiar with the language deliver a live orientation training session, or will it be a remote training session with a translator? Will it be some other delivery method? Once the method is chosen, discuss why this method is appropriate for the given market. Your completed assignment must be at least two pages in length and use at least two outside sources. Adhere to APA guidelines when constructing this assignment, and include in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.
