Childhood Gender Nonconformity (CGN

)
Composing an Annotated Bibliography for Your Project:

Using the three links provided on the right, learn how to create an annotated bibliography (a bibliography with brief descriptions of each source and how it will be useful.)

Your final annotated bibliography should have 10-15 entries, and this “working bibliography” should have at least 10 articles cited. You may include books, academic journal articles, and websites. However, most of your references (at least 70%) for this draft annotated bibliography should be academic quality journal articles or books. You should refer to at least one book and at least one website. In this “working bibliography” assignment, please submit all the annotated bibliography entries you have made so far to show your progress toward completing the final project. It is expected that you might end up needing to change some of your references for the final draft that you submit for the final project in the references/annotated bibliography section

My idea for the project is to develop an application and a website that is similar to (PostMates App). The App is service app which offers delivery service from restaurants that do not offer delivery service, grocery shopping, and courier service within the city areas. It’s similar to the idea of Uber where normal people would use their personal vehicles to drive people around; except we are going to have people work for us to deliver food, grocery, and packages for an added fees (Cost-Plus).

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Native Americans–Theory of Planned Behavior

n

So the overall paper’s health topic is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and our Health Behavior is consuming alcohol while pregnant. Our target population is Native American indian women aged 18-35 (but the age group doesnt really matter i guess) so the research you do will focus on that topic.

I will send the actual prompt/instructions so you have a better idea of what i need. You arent really going to do a whole research paper on the topic, you are only going to do one part of the paper. The part you will do is a “theory suggestion” (under that section in the prompt). The intrapersonal level theory you will do the paper on is THEORY OF PLANNED BEHAVIOR.

Just like the instructions say, you will need to provide an overview of the theory, explain each construct/concept/variable and apply it to the health behavior (alcohol consumption while pregnant) and health topic (fetal alcohol syndrome), say why the theory is applicable to the health issue, population, and behavior, explain why this theory is a good one to use to address the problem and to improve behavior among the population, explain if the theory has been used before for addressing this public health issue, explain how the theory is measured and also explain the strengths and weaknesses of the theory in regards to the health topic, behavior and population.

I will give some info on the theory of planned behavior so it can help you undertand it better. here is a link of a brief summary of what the theory is. https://sphweb.bumc.bu.edu/otlt/MPH-Modules/SB/SB721-Models/SB721-Models3.html

for the attachment i’m going to send titled “theory at a glance” you can look on pages 16-18 and in the powerpoint i’m going to send you can just look browse it.

oh and for the sources/references, please use peer reviewed scientific sources for at least 3. thanks!

thanks in advance!! i am on a time crunch so please do not ask for a time extension as i need to give this part to my group before 2 am. The last time i used your company’s services my paper did not get turned in on time and i recieved a zero. Good luck and again thank you so much!!

Class Conversation

 
Using examples from other students’ posts from at least three different threads (I do not mean take 3 examples from 1 thread; I do mean take 1 example from 3 different threads), and using those students as the sources for your reply (in essence, you’re using your colleagues as support for your assertion, rather than what you’ve been doing this semester of using an author of an article for your assertion) what do you see as a unifying idea throughout the assigned readings?
As usual, an image is original image is necessarily part of this assignment; you may use previous images of Class Conversations, or Class Notes, but note that if you do, that image needs in some way to be re-imagined to support your assertion.

I believe the article “Who Deserves What” by Michael Sanders is probably one of the most relevant articles I have had to do with my topic. I am currently questioning the fairness of our society and gender socialization. But to do this I have to question what is the point of our society as a whole. Is it meant to illustrate the majority’s opinion, which is that men should have more power, or should it protect the minority, that all genders should have an equal opportunity. It was interesting to read this article because it gave me a perspective I had not thought of before. Let’s say there is a fire and the whole fire fighting force were women, if they had to save these physically bigger men could they? I am a big person, and if I was caught in a fire I would hope a firefighter could carry my unconscious body out of that fire. But this is where people get messed up with the true meaning of a firefighter, they expect this physically strong man to get you out of there, which is normally the case; to be a firefighter you are required to be physically strong. But instead of thinking it as a big man why can’t we think of it as a strong women. We have casted these jobs to specific genders because we always think that the opposite gender automatically cannot fulfil the duty of the job. The line “to understand nature, and our place in it, we must grasp its purpose, its essential meaning”(sanders), it also applies jobs in our community such as fire fighters. If a women can compete with a man’s physical capabilities they should be allowed on the force to fight fires. Telos is definitely going to help me point out what is fair and what is not in our society to try and argue how gender socialization is fair or not.

There were many points that Wade August made in “You did not build this city” and his follow up that I agreed with, but from the look of the comments and a little bit of my own knowledge of Richmond/American history a lot of his opinions seemed to lack support. The article is a very one sided piece –I hate one sided things most of the time– so reading was hard for me. Wade lacked solid concrete details, most of the time he let his heart get ahold of his piece and made it almost personal, and I believe that’s what he meant to do, but that’s not the way to convince people about a small problem like this. He started almost pointing fingers and sounding matter of factly. I agree that slavery was one of the most horrid things this countries has performed and I agree that without slavery Richmond would be nothing today without it. But when he said ” The achievements of black people in America, both modern day and enslaved, are routinely forgotten, especially by whites, as a matter of convenient ignorance.”(You did not build this city) that irked me. Who is he to tell me what I forget, he is making a broad assumption. I think what Wade did wrong is that he made this issue way too personal and started pointing fingers without support.
SOmething I can draw away from this to help me with my own research topic is that we need to educate children about social gender issues and also ethnic issues. It is wrong for Wade to assume that the majority of white people forget about the horrid things black people went through, but it also true to some degree. A lot of white kids don’t go to a high school where the majority of students are not white so they have no idea most of the time, but I did go to a high school like that and I believe I have a pretty decent understanding about what black people have had to go through. So educating and diversifying is something I took away from these two pieces.
Reading some of the comments also irked me–this whole thing kind of rubbed me the wrong way honestly. Some people were just flattening disagreeing because Wade’s assumptions offended them. Now some other people do more research and actually supported their commentary with details and facts. Wade did an alright job with his details but when you mix assumptions with details they almost become subjective. What I have learned from reading all of this is that if one does not do research and logically think about what they are writing it will come across as almost ignorant

Both Scott McCloud and Peter Goin have it right, art is a growing creature. Art has never been stationary and because of its unstoppable growth there are countless types of art forms. It is why we perceive photography today mostly as art. It continues to broaden especially with today’s new technologies and how our society changes in itself. What they realized is that almost anything can be considered art in one way or another, because art is an expression of anything and the technology that grows parallel with art allows art to continue to grow. They both believe that art also serves a bigger purpose in the fact that it allows people to decipher what the art/image means. So the information that art is growing, one can see that art helps illustrate information and expression. When I start researching I will have to keep an open eye on the matter because I could utilize the new types of art to help concrete my research and give a better example

Case Scenario: Fictitious Business Description
Back to Top
Castle’s Family Restaurant has eight restaurants in the northern California area with approximately 300–340 employees. Most of the employees are part time, with approximately 40% of them full time. The operations manager, Jay Morgan, also acts as the HR manager and travels to each location each week to take care of scheduling, recruiting, hiring, and answering questions for the employees as needed. He also takes care of payroll using an Excel spreadsheet and has a computer application to print payroll checks. Mr. Morgan approaches you, an HR consultant, for a proposal. Due to the increase in gasoline costs, he would like to greatly reduce his travel time for visiting each location each week and wonders if there is anything you can suggest to him to help him complete his HR tasks in a cost-effective manner. He hopes there is some way he can do part of his HR tasks from his office instead of traveling to each location.
Stage I (due Week 2)
Using the case scenario above, provide an assessment of the current business. Describe the company in terms of size, type of business, and so on. Explain why you think an HRIS is needed. As the owner of your own HR consulting firm, write a 2–4-page paper that includes the following paper headings,
are denoted in all caps.
• INTRODUCTION: provides sufficient background on the topic and previews major points.
• BUSINESS ASSESSMENT: the name, type, and size of business you’re assisting. Make
assumptions in your business description using theory as needed and include the information in your paper for this case scenario. These assumptions would include background about a restaurant work environment and industry.
• IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS: Review all HR problems identified. I recommend making a list of HR functions that you believe could be more efficient based on the information provided in the scenario. From that list, choose one HR function for analysis, which will be the main focus for your business plan. You want to explain why you chose that HR function as your first item, and substantiate with theory.
• HRIS NEEDS ASSESSMENT: Explain how automation might create a more efficient process from the HR function chosen. How might an HRIS application assist the business?
• CONCLUSION: The conclusion is logical, flows from the body of the paper, and reviews the major points.

Provide a detailed description of the HRIS application(s) chosen for the business. What type of HRIS might create a more efficient process for the HR function chosen? This is not a copy/paste of
information from a vendor website, but an analysis and business plan to share with your customer. As the owner of your own HR consulting firm, write a 2–4-page paper that includes the following paper headings, which are denoted in all caps.
1. INTRODUCTION: provides sufficient background on the topic and previews major points.
2. HRIS TYPE: Now that you’ve conducted some research in the previous assignment, you should have a good foundation to take the next step in your business plan. You should have a good review of the scenario and have conducted some research on HRIS systems, and now your next step is to choose a type of HRIS. Share the type of system you plan to implement to help your customer. This must be substantiated in this paper to your customer from a theoretical perspective.
3. HRIS VENDOR CHOICE: Now that you have an HRIS type chosen, you need to conduct research to find an HRIS vendor. You want to do a compare and contrast in this section of at least two vendors. Then, choose a vendor. Explain why you chose this vendor over another/others. Include the Web address and proper citations for the vendor applications compared. You must have theory to support your decision.
4. CONCLUSION: The conclusion is logical, flows from the body of the paper, and reviews the major points.
