Through this assignment, you will demonstrate your knowledge of the differences among primary, secondary, and tertiary sources using the topic of slavery. Below are ten sources that discuss slavery.

From these ten sources, your task is to find three primary sources, two secondary sources, and one tertiary source. In your response for this assignment, you need to do the following for each of the six sources you have chosen:
1. Identify which type of source it is
2. Write 1-2 sentences explaining why each source is a primary, secondary, or tertiary source.
3. Write 2-3 sentences on the subject of the source that briefly discusses who wrote the source, when it was written, and what the primary points are that are being made in the source.

choose a topic relevant to the world around you. More specifically, I want you to think of this topic as a cultural or social experience that you want to make sense of and further add whether you agree or disagree with it and why. This type of writing gives you the opportunity to show your audience how well you understand a topic and develop what you think about the topic and why you feel that way (thesis and critical analysis).
You should choose a topic that interests you. In other words, make a list of different issues/ideas that interest you and then choose one to write an essay about!
For example, I could make a list based on the different hobbies I am interested in, communities I participate in, or I might just make a list of topics that I am interested in writing about.
I love sports, reading, watching TV, horror films, Cleveland history
I am interested in parenting ideas, being creative, fixing up my house, friendships, family, and finding something to do with the family
The communities I participate in, teaching, Massillon little league, neighborhood association, writing, reading
Once I come up with a list, I will want to ask myself a question about my topic so that my essay has purpose:
Why are so many people trying fad diets? Does the media (TV, ads, movies) only show beauty a certain way? Why is reality TV so popular right now? Where is a good place to hang out with the family in my community? Why should I participate in my neighborhood association?
This paper will,
• Be 3-4 pages typed in proper MLA or APA format and include a Works Cited/Reference Page and in text citations
• Incorporate 2-3 outside sources from web, it should be ( Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals ) pdf full text
• Have a thesis (the what you are saying and why you are saying it)
• be clearly organized
• Include an effective introduction
• Show Audience awareness
• Illustrate Critical thinking

In the introduction section you should orientate the reader to what he/she should expect throughout the rest of the paper. It should be two pages, double spaced, black ink on white paper. Size twelve letter and Times Roman font. One inch margins around the entire paper. Write the document as if for a high school senior. Write it in the third person (no “I, me, my, we, us, you, our, etc…). Include the title ‘Introduction’.
Also, include the research question (stated explicitly), your tertiary source with focus on the independent variable, your theoretical perspective with brief definition, your data source, and the importance of this research issue. Try to end the first paragraph by stating the research question explicitly.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE:

Introduction
The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of academic achievement on the wages people may acquire through work. According to John Doe (2015) college graduates are significantly more like
ly to have enhanced self-esteem and a positive perception about the future than are those who have a high school degree or less. The human capital acquired through learning encourages a more collaborative world view and in addition, educated citizens are more likely to engage in the political process (Doe, 2015). The college degree can be used as a form of barter in society as the media is more likely to interview and politicians are more likely to be responsive to the well-educated. These characteristics have been proven important in a democracy and the type of trading afforded to those who acquire high levels of education will be examined utilizing the rational choice theory. Rational choice theory posits that people engage in relationships in which they may use their personal characteristics and resources to exchange with others who have resources that they desire to have (Neuman, 2015). Those with higher levels of education capital have more that they can barter with in society.
Given the importance of earnings potential in society, it is possible that people may use higher levels of education capital to encourage employers to pay them higher wages. The research question of interest here is “what is the influence of education on income?”

Of course your paper must be more comprehensive in scope and length, and you must include a works cited section.
Lastly include a ‘bibliography section’ at the end of you introduction paper in the APA format style.

Just pick ONE of your preference in each of A, B and C.
A. Legislative (Pick ONE to respond to)

a) What is the purpose of this chapter? What are some of the topics that the chapter will discuss?
b) Brief paragraph on why we care about growth in East Asia.
c) Create a table that shows the GDP and GDP per capita for your country measured in local currency units, in dollars using market exchange rates and using PPP for the years 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2016 (or 2017). (Use the data from the World Development Indicators database Go to the World Development Indicators database (http://databank.worldbank.org/data/reports.aspx?source=world-development-indicators) and download the following variables for Thailand for 2016: “Official exchange rate”, “PPP conversion factor, GDP” (do not confuse this with the “2005 PPP conversion factor, GDP” for which no data is reported), “GDP, current LCU”, “GDP per capita (current LCU).
d) Explain the difference in the numbers when you use market exchange rates and PPP. What causes the difference and which of the two numbers reflects more accurately the GDP and GDP per capita and how is the ranking affected.
e) Insert a table that lists the GDP, GDP per capita, and annual growth rate for the US, Japan, and your country for the years 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2014. Use the data from Q2 on Homework #2. Interpret the numbers in the table in a comparative perspective. How large was the economy of your country in 1960 compared to the US and Japan? What happened over the following decades? Do the same for growth and GDP per capita.
f) Insert the graph from Q2 part b) on Homework #2. Explain what convergence means and why it is important. Then test whether there was any convergence between your country, US and Japan over the period 1960-2014. Explain changes in trends and patterns of your country’s GDP per capita relative to that of US and Japan over the period. You can use your answer to Q2 part e), but the answer here should be longer and more detailed.
g) Insert the graph from Q1 part d) on Homework #2. Try to detect any trends and patterns in the growth rate over the entire period. Also, try to explain ups and downs in the growth rate in certain periods by mentioning relevant events or policies.
h) In the conclusion, make a forecast about the future change/convergence of your country with respect to Japan and the US based on your analysis in the chapter.

Threats to Cyber Infrastructure OR Innovative Ways of Conducting Biological Attacks OR Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Threats (weaponizing and/or swarms or use for intelligence gathering)

The case study is a review of a current homeland security issue and one that affects the US.
