RACIAL PROFILING AND POLICE VIOLENCE
PART 1: POLICE VIOLENCE
Go to: http://mappingpoliceviolence.org/
(While this particular organization’s website may not be the prettiest of them all, one benefit is that you can actually download their data and dig deeper and read more on the issue if you so desire.)
One paragraph per question is sufficient.
1. Summarize and react to the findings from the home page. (This means summarize what you learned and then comment or respond on it.)

2. Go to the tabs at the top and click on Unarmed Victims. Look at the 2015 figures. Read the key findings and then scroll through the photos and get to know some of the people who comprise these statistics. Summarize and react to the finding from this page.

3. Explore at least one other tab or feature on this website (e.g., the 2015 Police Violent Report tab, Comparing Places tab). Summarize what you learned and your reactions to it.

 

PART 2: SOLUTIONS
1. In one paragraph,identify and describe a potential change or improvement that could be made if our nation wanted to minimize racial disparities in policing. Explain why you think this change would be effective.

 

Advanced practice nurses often treat patients with vein and artery disorders such as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT). While the symptoms of both disorders are noticeable, these symptoms are sometimes mistaken for signs of other conditions, making the disorders difficult to diagnose. Nurses must examine all symptoms and rule out other potential disorders before diagnosing and prescribing treatment for patients. In this Assignment, you explore the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation of CVI and DVT.
To Prepare
• Review the section “Diseases of the Veins” (pp. 598-599) in Chapter 23 of the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. Consider the similarities and differences between these disorders.
• Select a patient factor different from the one you selected in this week’s Discussion: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Think about how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of CVI and DVT. Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.
• Review the “Mind Maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” media in the Week 2 Learning Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct two mind maps—one for chronic venous insufficiency and one for venous thrombosis. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of both chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis.
To Complete
Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
• Compare the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. Describe how venous thrombosis is different from arterial thrombosis.
• Explain how the patient factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of CVI and DVT. Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.
• Construct two mind maps—one for chronic venous insufficiency and one for deep venous thrombosis. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in your paper.

Objectives:
The objectives of this assignment is to write a four-page paper:

• Describe and analyze an artwork
• Identify the style

Reflection Paragraph due—submit it along with your
References:
Internet materials—you may use websites, and periodicals

Details:

Remember that museums are often closed on Mondays. Check the museum website for Hours and Admission fees.

Choose a major museum to visit.

Take a self-guided tour–wander around a bit to get used to the atmosphere.

Now you’re ready to choose a single work of art. It can be a painting, print, sculpture, drawing, installation, etc. Feel free to pick whatever

piece seems to “speak” to you.

Take notes with a pencil. You may not be permitted to take notes at a museum with a pen.

You may be able to photograph the piece if you do not use a flash. Some exhibits may have a sign forbidding photography, so be sure to check.

After gazing at the piece for a significant amount of time, and taking notes, you are ready to do some research and begin writing.

Minimum of 4 typed pages, double-spaced, that include the following:

1. Introduce your topic and identify the work by artist, title, date, medium, and size. Most of this information will be found on the label on

the wall near the work. In some cases, you might have to estimate the size.

2. Include Photographs—Attach a photo of the work, or link to the work, with your paper. Also include a selfie in front of the work. If you’re

not permitted to photograph the work then you can take a selfie in front of the museum.

3. Describe how the piece is displayed. Include information about how it is framed or installed and what is displayed next to it.

4. Research and discuss the Art Style. Identify the Art Style, such as Renaissance, Impressionism, Surrealism, etc. and describe an aspect of

the work that indicates the art style.
5. Describe the work using all of the art elements listed below. If the work does not relate to an element in any way, you should say so. The

description should be detailed enough so that a viewer unfamiliar with the work might be able to get a mental picture of it and give the reader

a sense of what the work looks like. You can begin with what is depicted, who or what is represented?

Art Elements

• Line
• Shape
• Space

• Value
• Color
• Texture

6. Analyze the work. You should analyze how the artwork relates to each of the principles of design. If the work does not relate to a principle

in any way, you should say so.

Principles of Design
• Balance
• Repetition and Rhythm
• Scale and Proportion

• Emphasis
• Movement
• Harmony and Variety

7. In conclusion, discuss what about this work attracts you. Or, if you find that you no longer like it after focusing so much attention on it,

what about this work repels you? You might wish to consider whether you would like to see this work on your own wall or in the corner of your

room, every day?

 

Literature

Synder combines storytelling, technical instruction, polemic, poetry, and philosophy into a dense essay on ancient forests. How and when does he switch

from one mode to another. What links them together?
Momaday’s uses the same symbolic language to discuss his grandmother and the land. How is this account of his elders and generational knowledge like

Snyder’s?
Propose your own topic. You must discuss this option with me during my office hours.

Your essays must have a thesis statement clearly identifiable in the first paragraph of your text. This statement should explain what you are arguing

and how you are going to prove your argument. Think of it as a roadmap for the reader. The thesis creates expectations that must be fulfilled in the

body of your essay. Do not make general, universal statements based on hearsay or common opinions. Rather, make a claim grounded on the words, images,

characters, themes, concepts, plotlines, or ideas present in the text before you.

The body of your essay should be composed of several paragraphs. In each paragraph, you will give specific examples from the original text to support

your argument. When you cite, make sure you explain thoroughly the citation (i.e. its meaning) and connect this citation to your argument. As a general

rule of thumb, for every sentence you cite, you must write a sentence of your own explaining it. In other words, do not use citations to fill up space.

Make them count. Furthermore, make sure you introduce your citations by integrating them into your own sentence—avoid dangling quotes.

Consider the following example: “In his forward to Joseph Meeker’s The Comedy of Survival, Konrad Lorenz concurs with Meeker’s view that “a morality

which encourages man to detach himself from his animal origins and to regard all nature as subject to him does not offer our best hopes for the

future.” Note how the writer integrates Lorenz’s citation into his own sentence.

Your conclusion should summarize all that was said. However, a good conclusion also points to the future: to some aspect of your argument that has not

been resolved or that could be taken up in a forthcoming essay. Consider the conclusion a challenge to further develop your thinking.

Always double-space your writing and use one-inch margins. Always use Times New Roman 12-point font.

Follow the Modern Language Association (MLA) citation style for citations, punctuation, works cited, etc.
