Minorities have experienced a checkered history in the United States with some eventually becoming part of the mainstream while others continued to exist in the margins of society. Using your knowledge from previous chapters that discussed minority groups, compare the various experiences and acceptance of those groups by 1840. Consider the following minority groups as you respond:
Irish, German, Scottish
African-Americans; free blacks and slaves
American Indians.
Complete a presentation in PowerPoint per APA requirements. It should lead the viewer through the information in sequential order with transitions of some type to make a cohesive presentation that includes an introduction, a body and conclusion, references, and a citation page (similar to an APA References page). The presentation must also meet these requirements:
At least six slides
Each slide must include at least one image
Include a three-page transcript to accompany the presentation. This should be a separate Word document that does not need to be formatted according to APA requirements. It should, however, indicate which part of the presentation it is aligned to. Label slide or frame numbers in the transcript only (to match the presentation).
Do not include personal or published opinions that denote value. All information presented must be backed with specific, scholarly sources.
Information must be thoroughly covered in the submitted document, without requiring supplements; all information must be conveyed clearly and completely, without reliance on a formal presentation or speech accompanying the slides for clarity.

This paper will focus on one artist, selected from your text, World of Art or websites provided by instructor. Research biographical information on this artist and select TWO works for discussion and analysis. Give the name of the artist, the title, date and medium of the works of art you have chosen. Identify the theme.

Begin your essay with brief biographical information on your artist. You will then provide detailed visual analysis of two works: you will discuss the style, the subject matter, and interpretations of the art. Remember, you will describe the art thoroughly – how it was made, the materials, the subject matter and content, the interpretation. Your essay must include a paragraph stating the meaning of each work of art and how the artist uses visual elements and design to construct this meaning. Use your critical visual analysis skills: the formal elements of visual design (line, color, light, composition, form).

End your essay with a paragraph that discusses your informed response to the work(s). Consider your interests (hobbies, beliefs, career goals) and life experiences that might affect your choice of theme.

YOU WILL NEED TO SUBMIT 5” X 7” COLOR PRINTS (COPIES) OF YOUR CHOSEN WORKS. All papers must include images (appended after 4 full pages of text), especially where detailed analysis and important comparisons/contrasts of artworks are presented. Refer to the images as Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc. (in parentheses) within the body of your text. Images should be sufficiently large (at least a quarter of a page in size) and clear to be useful to the reader.

1 . Your report should be typed, have one-inch margins and numbered pages. The paper should be double-spaced and at least 4 full pages in length. Cover page, illustrations and works-cited page (6 references total, include 2 print sources) are in addition to the 4 full pages of text. Type size 10.

2. Include a cover page with the following information:
a. Your name
b. The course and number
c. The date the essay is submitted
d. The name of the artist(s) you are critiquing.

3. Spelling, punctuation, grammar and writing style will count in the grading process! All sources must be cited. (IF IN DOUBT, CITE.) Use MLA or APA format, available in the bookstore, library, online. Be sure to include a works cited page appended after the body of text.

American Presidency
In regard to the written assignment for The Presidential Difference book: Answer the following questions based on your reading of The Presidential Difference (five to six pages)
Briefly discuss the six qualities that relate to presidential job performance. Which do you believe are most significant?
Green stein reviews modern presidents from FDR to Obama. Briefly discuss which four interested you must. What made them so interesting.

Below are two questions; you will choose one of these questions to answer. Your answer to this question should incorporate at least three (3) of the scholarly articles that we have read and discussed for class. Videos do not count as scholarly articles but may be used in the construction of your argument. You are also welcome to incorporate elements of our discussion and my Prezis into your answer, but neither of these things may count as one of your scholarly articles. No in-text citation is required for ideas pulled from our discussions. Please cite my Prezis as (Sibley, Title).
Your response should be 300-500 words
1. McIntosh writes that “The pressure to avoid [acknowledging white privilege] is great, for in facing it I must give up the myth of meritocracy” (9). Meritocracy is the idea that an individual’s success or failure is the direct product of that individual’s choices. Critics of the idea of meritocracy contend that it fails to account for the ways that systemic inequality leads to the unequal treatment of individuals, regardless of those individuals’ choices.

How do McIntosh and Sarkeesian’s discussions of marked and unmarked categories contribute to our thinking about meritocracy? How might our understanding of intersectionality affect this question? To what degree do you think we live in a meritocratic society? Please use specific evidence from our readings to support your argument.

2. Notoriously, in a speech delivered at a conference focused on diversifying the science and engineering workforce, Lawrence Summers, then president of Harvard University, suggested that the over-representation of men in science and engineering in tenured positions at the elite universities and research institutions may be in part due to innate differences in ability between the sexes, reigniting debate about the relationship between biological characteristics and social position. The persistent difference in representation of men and women in these fields, he posited, is the result of “the general clash between people’s legitimate family desires and employers’ current desire for high power and high intensity, that in the special case of science and engineering, there are issues of intrinsic aptitude, and particularly of the variability of aptitude, and that those considerations are reinforced by what are in fact lesser factors involving socialization and continuing discrimination.”

Following his comments, Summers was widely criticized, but several prominent scholars weighed-in in favor of his views. For example, MIT cognitive psychologist Steven Pinker and Cambridge biologist Peter Lawrence both endorsed the view that even if gender discrimination was completely ended, men would still outnumber women in the physical sciences due to innate sex-based differences. Both Pinker and Lawrence recognize the historical role of gender discrimination in creating inequalities in universities and society and support policies to address such conditions. However, their arguments in support of innate sex-based differences center on claims that men are better at mathematical problem solving and spatial visualization, while women are superior at mathematical calculation. These differences, it is contended, in part, explain the under-representation of women in science and engineering.

Using materials from the course, write a counter-response to the assertions of Summers, Pinker, and Lawrence.

Read the Chapter 4 and write as you are writing as discussion Please
What aspect of Euclid\’s geometry meant that it full short of complete rigor for a scientific
theory? How did later approaches to theories improve on Euclid\’s?

You will write a 200–250-word abstract of either Joseph Williams\’ \”Athletes Need Training to Avoid Being the Target of Troublemakers\” or Simon Barnes\’ \”Champions of Hypocrisy.\” While you will choose one article to summarize and evaluate, you are still responsible for reading both. Instead of a title, put the APA article citation at the top of the page.
Then, in a separate paragraph, evaluate the article in 200-250 words. Is it informative? Persuasive? Ineffective? Who might find it useful? Can you tell what type of audience for which the article is intended (one hint for this—in what type of magazine/journal did it appear?)? Do you agree or disagree with the author\’s points; why or why not? To what extent? This is graded according to the Abstract and Evaluation Rubric
