Week 4 Discussion Board

/in /by

Your first task is to post an outline of your Community Policing Proposal to the discussion area so that other students are able to review your plan. Attach your document to the main discussion post, and include any notes that you feel are appropriate. The purpose of this assignment is to help improve the quality of the final product you will submit to your instructor.

Begin by reviewing the Individual Project from Week 1 to ensure that you understand this final project.

The individual project for Week 1:

Your final assignment for this course will be to create a Community Policing Proposal to a fictional community.

Your instructor will be assigning you a fictional community profile this week. You will use this profile to inform the design of your Community Policing Proposal. The final proposal will include the following elements:

* A description of the community and its needs
* A step-by-step implementation plan designed with the specific needs of your community in mind
* A practical strategy that can be used to communicate your community policing model to the community and the law enforcement organization

Part 1

Your instructor will send you a brief description of a community. Upon receiving the community profile, create a name for your community. Provide a written description of the community and a description of the crime issue at hand. You may add unique details to the description of the community or the issue if you think it will benefit your assignment. Submit a written description of the community for which you will be creating a Community Policing Proposal.

Part 2

Describe how federal, state, and local law enforcement work together in criminal investigations. Answer the following questions:

* What is the scanning, analyze, response, and assessment (SARA) model?
* How does this model apply to community policing? Give 2 examples.
* Can the same models for partnerships be used in every jurisdiction? Why or why not?

Pick one of the following communities:

Write a Job Description for a Chef, management assignment help

/in /by

Instructions:

1. Choose a Job Title- (Chef )

2. Write a Job Description for the title you have chosen

3. Hiring Plan

Once you have selected the title, you are to write a job description. I will expect you to have read the chapters assigned for each week. Since this will help you manipulate the material to finish each week’s section. Each week is made up of two sections except for this week. I have included a brief description of what I would expect to see on each section.

Section 1:

Select a Job Title:

You should select a Job Title to use in the project. (1) an entry‐level job for which college graduates with an undergraduate degree would be qualified or (2) a job that would be supervised by an entry‐level job for college graduates. For example, if a team wants to select a job in retailing, then the team might pick either a job title like “Assistant Store Manager” (an entry‐level job for a new college graduate) or a job title like “Retail Salesperson” (a job that is supervised by an Assistant Store Manager).

Section 2:

Job Description:

You should write a job description in the proper format for the Job Title that’s been selected. In addition to the job description, you should include a description of how the job description was prepared. For example, if you use O*NET to write the task statements, then the you should explain what job title was found in O*NET and how the task statements in O*NET were used (e.g., were the task statements copied directly (unedited), or were the task statements from O*NET edited in some way).

Section 3:

Hiring Plan:

You should write a hiring plan. The hiring plan should include:

Recruiting Plan: In general, your team should discuss how you would recruit a pool of well-qualified applicants for the Job Title. What is the relevant labor market for the job title? What specific recruiting methods would you use?

Selection Plan: In general, your team should discuss how you would decide who to hire from the pool of applicants. What selection methods would you use? How would you implement each selection method? For example, if one of your selection methods is to screen resumes, then you should describe what you would be looking for on the applicants’ resumes. As another example, if one of your selection methods is to interview the applicants, then you should describe the questions you would want to ask in the interviews and how you would evaluate the applicants’ answers.

Post a discussion

/in /by

Purpose:
This forum is intended to help you craft your ideas about Allen Ginsberg’s Howl. Writing your analysis, reading and commenting on others’ analyses, and receiving feedback about your analysis will help you craft your essay response to the passage.

On your post:

1. Select 1 passage from Howl. (The words passage and quotation are used interchangeably and mean the same thing.)
◦ Your passage may include an image since the images are part of the author’s writing. You may also piece together multiple passages using ellipses (…) in between.
◦ Be sure to include the page number(s) after the passage, like this (17-18).
2. Write a short summary of the passage (1-2 sentences).
◦ this is just to get the summary out of your system and to be able to focus on an analysis
3. Analyze the passage you have chosen (3-4 sentences).
◦ What does is show you as a reader?
◦ Can you apply the theoretical lenses to the passage? What does that reveal about the passage?
◦ What is your interpretation of the passage?
◦ remember to avoid summarizing the passage
◦ remember to avoid making overgeneralizations based on the text.
4. See sample below.
5. **Your post must be original and dissimilar to other students. This will be factored into earning points.
6. Then, reply to two other students, commenting on their analysis and offering additional feedback.
7. You should read through the discussion thread and create an original post. If your ideas are similar to another student that has posted before you, you should mention him/her and build on their comment in your post.**Evidence of reading though the discussion thread is factored into earning points.

EXAMPLE:
Passage: “Nan said to Tess, but projecting for the benefit of the front, ‘Truly, are we so superior as we think? I wonder little. When we first moved in at the mine, we did something at the house so stupid am still in pain. There were two pawpaw trees growing side by side by the house, one thriving with nice big pawpaws on it and the other sick-looking and leaf-less – dead looking. Well, we thought it was plain what we should do: take down the dead tree. So we hauled and pushed on the trunk of the poor tree and strained and pulled it over – uprooted it, Gareth and myself. It was his idea: we must just straight off do this, get it over. Then, with the crash, the servants come out. They had funny looks on. Dineo said, so quietly, ‘Oh, Mma, you have killed the male.’ We didn’t understand. It seems the pawpaw grow in pairs, couples, male and female. The male tree looks like a phallus – no foliage to it, really. The female needs the male in order to bear. They take years to reach the heights ours had. Then the female died. The staff had been eating pawpaws from our tree for years. It was a humiliation” ( Rush 21).

Summary: Nan is explaining to Tess how she and Gareth dug up a tree that looked like it was dead, but that they learned from the natives that they were all wrong about their interpretation of the tree. It looked dead but the other tree needed it for its survival.

Analysis: The pawpaw trees function as a symbol within the text. They symbolize the hierarchic relationship between the men and the women in the text as well as the hierarchic relationship between the whites and the blacks in the text. When Rush writes that they “uprooted” the tree, it brings to mind the appropriation of colonies and cultural upheaval.

Revise the paper that we used to work on

/in /by

Please make a revision of the paper that we used to work on, and combine with another several readings into the paper that I attach them later on.

Also, since I talked to the instructor about the paper, I changed the thesis a little bit as described below:

Since the Zen Center of San Diego evolves the traditional theories of Japanese Zen Buddhism into more universal type of religion unlike the Zen Center of Los Angeles or Japanese Zen temples. The sociological causal models would apply to the causes, internal dynamics and sociocultural functions of the Zen Center of San Diego and how it’s converted into the universal thoughts of the Zen Center is essential as a structural mode of analysis in this paper.

Therefore, you don’t need to focus on the psychological causal model anymore, but please focus on the sociological causal model only but deeply analyze it with the connection between the model and the Zen Center I interviewed.

The paper should be written as below:

◦ Introduction

‣ Thesis – how affect – psychological and sociological models

◦ Part A: History and background (4-5 pages)

◦ Part B: Analysis of causal model (9 pages long)

◦ Conclusion: One page

Since you’ve already wrote 8 pages so far, so please write and revise 7 more pages – in total of 15 pages, please.

The following are the previous sessions’s description:

—————————————————————————————————-

Please write a paper about a topic of Zen Buddhism and the sociological analysis view of the religion in contemporary society. Which means that you’d write about “How differentiate the Zen Buddhism in Japan and the Zen Buddhism in San Diego, California, in the United States. Also, how is it converting the practices and their methods of the sociological causal model and psychological causal model in Zen Buddhists?

I’m attaching the study guide and the instruction for this paper, and One big article which is very important and related to this paper – the connection of sociological and psychological causal models.

* Thus, please make a relations between the topic of Zen in the US and those models.

* This paper needs to be divided into three parts:

◦ Introduction

‣ Thesis – how affect – psychological and sociological models

◦ Part A: History and background (4-5 pages)

◦ Part B: Analysis of causal model (3-4 pages long)

* The thesis statement for this paper is:

“How does Zen Buddhism affect believers’ life in the US, and take the converting processes into the American society? Since Zen Buddhism started the path through from the East to the US, it gives people totally different influences from the other religions. Hence, what are their causes, internal dynamics, and sociocultural functions? What relationships can be established between the socioeconomic status of group members and their religious participation?”

Of course, you can revise the thesis statement above, but you may use the concept of them above.

* Lastly, the Part A of the historical background part of the paper could be a differentiations between Japanese Zen Buddhism and the Western Zen Buddhism, because I’m a Japanese international student going to UC San Diego, California studying a sociology of religions in contemporary society.
