For this journal entry, write about two of these stories that either (a) share a theme, which means that both stories essentially make the same point in their own ways or (b) share a topic, but have differing themes, which means they make different points about the same topic. For example, if there are two stories about growing up that seem to make the same point, that would be option (a); if there were two stories that each made a different point about growing up, that would be option (b).
In your journal entry, write about the two stories and their themes. How are they expressed in the story? What other literary elements contribute to the theme (symbol, setting, etc)? What quotes show or emphasize the theme? Is the theme the same as the lesson learned by the main character?
Your journal entry should be about 300 words long, written in an academic style. There’s no formatting requirements for journal entries, but be sure you include the names of the stories and authors. If you use quotes from the stories, be sure to include page numbers. Do not consult or use outside sources for this assignment. This is a journal entry, so no introduction or conclusion is required. Just be sure you follow the assignment, answer the questions, proofread carefully, use complete sentences, and include details to support your points.
There is no requirement to respond to you classmates, though you are welcome to read your peers’ entries! Remember when you compose your entry that your classmates will be able to read it.

You can find any of these stories online on the internet just search them in google

Each student will be required to complete the term project, which is an 8-12 page APA Style paper. Your paper should have at least 8-12 pages of substance not counting the cover and reference pages. Please be sure that your paper is a Word Document (.doc) uploaded to the assignment section as an attachment. Students will be required to use at least three scholarly – (peer-reviewed)- sources. Students have access to peer-reviewed sources through the APUS library.

Students are required to follow APA Style guidelines.

I will be using the writing rubric to grade all written work during the class. Please make sure that you are using the writing rubric to use as a checklist for all your academic writing in this class and throughout your educational experience at AMU. Research Paper Grading Rubric ~ Click Here

Students must choose from one of the following topics for their paper:

1. The “Blue Wall of Silence” and Police Culture
2. Ethical Decision-Making Process
3. Developing Ethical Leaders
4. The Ethical Role of Police Subculture
5. Ethics vs. Morals
6. Defining Police Ethics
7. Defining Ethical Leadership Practices
8. The Purpose of a Code of Ethics within Police Agencies
9. Police Professionalism and Responsibility

Students should choose one these topics and write about its relevance to police ethics. Be thinking about identifying the major talking points about your topic that are important to review. Critically assess the literature on the subject. I am looking for critical thinking and a clear indication that you have a grasp of the literature.

Do not include quotes in your work. I want to see your critical thinking skills on display and not a string of quotes written by published authors. Your analysis is what is needed for a successful paper. In other words, the peer-reviewed sources used in the paper should be paraphrased, cited in proper APA format and reflect critical thinking.

At this point in your educational journey, you should have solid substance and proper academic formatting in your college-level writing assignments. Students will be graded on both so make sure you turn in your best work.

Do not wait until the last minute to research, write, format, and edit. Proper time management is required to turn in a quality paper that highlights your criminal justice writing.

Please pay close attention to instructions and message me with any questions

Use only quality peer reviewed references

This assignment gives you an opportunity to discover German on your own. Guided by topics
covered in class, your task is to design a trip to Germany where you visit areas of historical and
cultural interest (e.g. cities, museums, places in nature, historical sites, etc.) that you think would
be both enjoyable and educational.
You are free “to go” anywhere, but I do want you to draw on the topics covered in class under
TM1 or TM2 (e.g from the Germanic tribes and Charlemagne through the Reformation).
What goes into your Cultural Travel Itinerary?
1. Give your Tour a name

My experience is that everyone has an opportunity to create an “excellent” (A) presentation!
However, these issues will result in a good (B) presentation:
– if you just cut and paste language from the websites you include and don’t use your own
words to explain what do you hope to see, explore, discover, learn, etc.
– if your presentation is filled with typos
– if your presentation looks not at all attractive or enticing

The world is surprisingly changing due to the innovation in the realm of science and technology. Nowadays it seems
hard to escape the presence of technology. Most employees will praise the many technological gadgets that they
use in their everyday lives. Many of us depend on it to get us through the day, to do our job, to get around, and to
find certain things. Technology is evolving at a very fast rate, and what most people did not even think could be real
a few years ago, is now becoming a reality. WhatsApp is one of the changes in technology that is commonly used
on specific mobile phones and computers.
The introduction of this technological revolution has opened the opportunity to allow many research efforts on the
employees satisfaction , work life balance , surveillance ,
Research questions:
1.To what extent do employees engage in using WhatsApp in their workspaces?
2.What are the factors that affect the users acceptance of WhatsApp?
3.What is the implications of using WhatsApp on employees performance and work life balance?
4.How do employees consider WhatsApp as a tool that support better outcome in the workspaces

Topic: In The Old Man and the Sea, Santiago repeatedly identifies the marlin as a “brother.” What is the significance of this identification of the marlin? How does it connect to the way in which Santiago’s and the marlin’s roles at some points seem to become blurred? Most importantly, how does it connect to the larger themes of the novel?
***The important idea in this topic is ecocentrism (a belief that ecosystems and their interests should be valued intrinsically and placed before human interest). Our class focuses on how nature depicted in the work. I also uploaded a file about the ecocentrism (Wilderness by Leopold) for your reference. Also note that I’m a non-native speaker so please write that is easy to understand it.

Please read carefully for the additional instructions.
Additional Stipulations:
 Use the present tense when you are analyzing a literary text.
 Begin your essay with a title that clearly indicates the essay’s subject matter, including the title of the book you will be discussing (e.g. Wilderness and Hunting in Leopold’s Sand County Almanac).
 This essay, like any academic essay, should contain a strong one-sentence thesis statement at or very near the end of the opening paragraph. Each supporting paragraph should begin with a topic sentence that makes a claim about the text and then proceed to give evidence for that claim and to discuss that evidence.
 The thesis statement and topic sentences must make claims about the text (e.g. “In Leopold’s essay, the wilderness is a stage on which men use traditional skills to prove themselves,” NOT just “The wilderness is a stage on which men use traditional skills to prove themselves”).
 Your evidence should include a good balance of direct quotation from the text and paraphrase. Remember to integrate direct quotations in the way you were taught in class (and in MLA style) and to include a works cited list.
 Each body paragraph must contain multiple pieces of evidence. For the essay to achieve a passing grade, at least one of those pieces of evidence in each body paragraph must be quoted directly. Please do not rely on previously chosen online lists of quotations from famous works. Students who do this miss the most important pieces of evidence, fail to make original arguments, and generally fail to demonstrate deep enough knowledge of the text that they are discussing
 Avoid plot summary altogether, even in your introduction. Focus on argument and analysis.
 No reading of secondary material is required or expected. This is not a research paper.
 Do not rely on ready-made online analyses of the book for your ideas. The best essays result from making your
own observations and developing your own opinions.
 If you do use secondary sources, including any of the many freely available sources on the internet, please cite
your sources fully in both in-text citations and the works cited list. Failure to do so is plagiarism, even if you are
only drawing on the ideas, not the actual words, of the sources you have consulted. See the MLA Style
Guidelines handout for detailed information on how to give proper credit to your sources.
 If you really want to find good quality secondary sources on literary texts, remember that the best place to
search in the MLA International Bibliography (available under Databases on the library website).
 Your essay should be formatted in MLA style (this includes both the layout of the paper as a whole as well as the
format of the in-text citations and works cited list). Good online resources for MLA style may be found by
searching for “OWL Purdue MLA format” on the internet.
