Instructions:  Your initial post should be at least 250 words.  Please respond to at least 2 other students.  Responses should be a minimum of 100 words and include direct questions.

1. First this week we have three short but intense readings: “Not Waving but  Drowning” (p. 458), “We Real Cool” (p. 500). and “Harlem” (p. 617). I mean for you to take the time to listen to these on Youtube. I am not saying you will like all three, but one or two of them I am sure you will. Read them several times, listen to them, and then answer the Discussion Board questions and discussions. As always be certain to reply to other students’ posts.
First, which poem did you like the best? Why? What is “Not Waving but  Drowning” (p. 458) about? If you watched the Youtube video did this help at all?  In Brooks’ poem, she is writing about an attitude. What is the attitude she is writing about? Can you find that attitude today? Where?  Are there words in Brooks’ poem you might have to look up? “Harlem” has always been a very popular poem. What is the mood conveyed by the poem? Do the words or images help create that mood? Are the similes vivid? Do these similes convey images or ideas or both? Please give examples for all of your responses–longer is better.
2. This week read Sylvia Plath’s “Daddy” in our textbook and then go to Youtube and view and listen to Plath herself reading her poem “Daddy.” Then while there listen to oliviam16 read Plath’s poem “Mirror.” After you are finished, return to the Discussion here and answer the following questions:
1) How different is the experience of reading “Daddy” as opposed to hearing Plath read it and seeing the video? Explain?
2) Does the poem, “Mirror” work with the mirror itself as the poem’s narrator? Why or why not?
3) What do you particularly like or dislike about either poem? Explain and give examples.
4) How does Plath use the imagery of Nazi Germany in her poem? Does it work? Why? How?
5) What does the narrator of “Daddy” mean when she says, “If I have killed one man, I have killed two”? Explain.
6) Does the narrator seem to love or hate her father? Explain.
7) Is the poem “Mirror” about change? If so,m what change?
8) If you have anything, any comment, any question, anything at all further to post on either poem, please do so.
3. This week after reading Tim O’Brien’s classic war story “The Things They Carried,” post responses and discussions to some of these questions from the story:
Why do most students like this story?
What is the importance of the title? Does the title work for you as a reader?
How does the story move from the physical things the men carry to the more intangible?
Which of the two things they carry is the heavier burden? Why?
Which of the men carries the most? Why is this so?
Does Lt. Cross’s name have any significance? Explain.
Does Lt. Cross think he will go back home and marry Martha?
How are the letters like the pebble? What do both mean to Lt. Cross?
Is there a common denominator for what the men think about? What would that be?
Lt. Cross is about 25 years old. When he is 50 will he still remember any of these experiences, in other words carry them? Why?
What is it that frustrates the soldier about the letter he mailed to his dead friend’s family?
These men were in Viet Nam. Is there a chance that something like this happened in Iraq? In Afghanistan? at Gettysburg?

Discussion—Victimless Crime

Natalie Davies is a thirty-eight-year-old single mother of two—an eleven-year-old daughter, Brandi, and a seven-year-old third grader, Jenny. Natalie married young and never attended college. After her divorce four years ago, she went back to school and obtained a certificate in paralegal studies. After returning to the workforce, she was motivated by others, as well as her modest salary, to return to school to work on her bachelor’s degree. She tells family and friends that she wants to be a role model for her daughters and also wants to be able to provide for their college education when the time comes. Natalie decided to enroll in an online program to accommodate her work schedule and hectic family life that includes spending as much time as possible with her daughters, while also making time for herself. Natalie has hopes of working toward a master’s degree, possibly in counseling. Because of her two daughters and interest in working with people, she has decided to pursue an undergraduate degree in psychology. A week after classes started, there was a commotion on Natalie’s block. Two police cruisers were at a house down the street, along with an unmarked police car. Natalie did not know the neighbor who lived there very well. It was another single mother with three young children. Natalie learned that the woman was arrested for possession of a controlled substance. Her three children were placed in foster care while the woman waited for trial, or could find the money to post her bond. Apparently, the woman was using painkillers that she had purchased from an undercover police officer. She had injured her back several years ago and became addicted to the pills. Although her injury no longer bothered her, she continued to use the painkillers. Her mood would fluctuate if she did not get the pills and she would at times take out her anger on the children. When using the pills, she was disoriented and would at times jeopardize her children’s safety. She wanted to go into rehab but could not afford the treatment. Natalie cannot decide who the victim in this crime is. Are the victims the children, the people without insurance, or society in general? Natalie’s daughters asked her why the neighbor was arrested and her children were in foster care away from their “mommy?”

Research the concept of “victimless crime” using the textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Select two resources for use in your discussion. Be sure that you have the following types of resources:

• A news media report of what may be considered a victimless crime, such as the given example.
• A scholarly, peer-reviewed article on the type of crime covered in your selected news media report. The peer-reviewed article should identify potential costs of the crime to society as well as intervention approaches.

Based on the scenario, and drawing on your readings and observations, respond to the following:

• Do you think the term victimless crime is misleading? Why or why not?

Problem 14.8

 

Because of the current concern over credit card balances, a back’s chief finacial officer is interested in whether there is a relationship between account balances and the number of times a card is used each month.  A random sample of 50 accounts was selected.  The account balance and the number of charges during the past month were the two vbarivles recorded.  Teh correelation coefficient foe the two varibles was -0.23.

 

A.)  Discuss what the r= -0.23 measures.  Make sure to frame your discussion in terms of the two variavles mentioned here.

 

B.)  Using an α  = 0.10 level, test to determine whether there is a signigicant linear relationship between account balance and the number of card uses during the past month.  State the null and alternative hypotheses and show the decision rule.

 

C.)  Consider the decision you reached in pat b.  Describe the type of erroe you could have made in the context of this problem.

 

 

Problem 14.10

A.)  Produce a scatter plot for Amazon’s net income/loss and sales figures for the period 1995 to 2007.  Does there appear to be a linear relationship between these two variables?  Explain your response.

 

B.)  Calculate the correlation coefficient between Amazon/s net income/loss and sales figures for the period 1995 to 2007.

 

C.)  Conduct a hypotheses test to dertermine if a positive correlation exists between Amazon’s net income/loss and sales figures.  Use a significance level of 0.05 and assume that these figures form a random sample.

 

Society will probably never be without crime. Crime affects everyone, either directly or indirectly. As professionals, you need to be aware of your own prejudices, biases, and personal values. Perhaps there were times throughout the course when you were struck by a particular crime report. Perhaps information you learned in the course changed the way you view offenders or victims. At the end of the course, you have an opportunity to reflect on what you have learned and how this new information will shape you, professionally and personally.

 

Reflect on all your readings and assignments in this course and address the following:

 

• How will you apply the principles you have learned in this course in your professional career? Give specific examples.
• Which assignments caused you to confront your own personal values and biases? What did you learn from the experience?

 

Write your initial response in 2–3 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
