Hi,

I just need you to write an essay similar to what you wrote the last time.

but in this essay I need you to write about 3 different people than the people who were in the last essay.

please reach me back asap and tell me if you are able to do it.

Visit the Officer Down Memorial Page (www.odmp.org) and write about the officers who have died in 2017. Specifically, list how many officers died and how they died (how many died in an automobile accident? how many died by gunfire? etc). Select two officers who have died this year and summarize their career and death.

Who were they?

Where did they work?

How long have they worked?

Did they have a family?

How did they die?

What happened to the suspect?

You can add anything else you think is important or interesting. You can also do additional research into the officer and the incident and add it to your assignment. Lastly, read over some of the comments and reflections that people have left on the officers’ page. Talk about who most of the people are who are leaving comments and the nature of their comments. Your submission must be at least 500 words long.

• Problem Statement about Equity in Education
• Vision of Change and Goal Clarification

What is the extent, scope and severity of this problem? (Use your text or other scholarly sources to support your description of the problem.) Briefly summarize the negative consequences of this problem to society as a whole and/or to specific groups of people. Why is it important to understand and address this social problem? Why change the status quo?

What is the envisioned change as it relates to the social problem of Equity in Education?

This section of the essay, briefly describe what things would “look like” if the social problem were effectively addressed, minimized, eliminated, or if prevention steps were taken to alleviate undesirable consequences of the problem. What are specific goals to achieve the desired change (e.g., test and implement local programs to address and reduce the problem). Who stands to gain or lose if the envisioned change is realized?

What contextual factors influence this social problem?

This section of the essay, briefly describe two contextual factors that have influenced this social problem (e.g., historical, economic, cultural, technological factors). Explain the purpose of public education as a social institution. Use the functionalist, conflict, and symbolic interactionist perspectives to explain the importance of this social institution.

Select one of thesociological theories (functionalist theory, conflict theory, symbolic interactionist theory) to briefly explain this social problem, given the contextual conditions you have identified.

What is needed to achieve the vision of change and address the identified social problem?

This section of the essay, briefly summarize and provide a rationale for adopting one possible direction to achieve the desired change (e.g., prevention, intervention, social reform, and reconstruction), alleviating consequences. (Refer to Chapter 1 Section 1.4 Future Prospects: Solving Social Problems inIntroduction to Social Problems).

Finally, in this section of the essay, propose two to three practical steps or strategies to address the social problem. What are the strengths/limitations of your proposed strategies?

Introduction

Congress as well as the states passes laws that affect the entire criminal justice system, adult and juvenile. Court decisions can have as much, if not more, effect on the justice system. Court decisions typically provide mandates for what law enforcement and the courts can and cannot do and what is constitutional and what is not.

Over time, we have seen a far slower evolution of rights apply to juvenile proceedings in comparison to rights that apply in adult proceedings. The rationale behind this can be connected to the differing approaches to juvenile offenders. As perceptions changed throughout history, rights continued to increase in application. It was an evolving process. We still see some key distinctions to date, including in the areas of jury trials and utilization of the death penalty.

In your main post:

• Compare rights that apply in the juvenile and the adult criminal justice system.
• Determine the impact of the differences in rights throughout the system.
• Explore the public policy behind the difference in the evolution and application of rights in juvenile versus adult criminal justice processes.

Purpose: Kelly believed people perceive and organize their world of experiences by formulating hypotheses about the environment and testing them against the reality of daily life. We observe the events of our life and interpret them in our own way. This special view, the unique pattern created by each individual, is what Kelly called our construct system. A construct is the unique way of looking at life, an intellectual hypothesis devised to explain or interpret events. Over the course of our lives we develop many constructs, one for almost every type of person or situation we encounter. We expand, alter, and discard these constructs periodically as situations change. Our constructs must continually be revised and be adaptable to change, which is called constructive alternativism. This view expresses that we are not controlled by our constructs, but are free to revise or replace them with other alternatives. The purpose of this personality project is to analyze and give evidence of how your personal constructs have developed, changed and impacted your personality over time.

Instructions: Complete a two (2) page essay responding the following questions:

1. What is a personal construct that you developed over the course of your life? Describe the details related to this development and the relevance of a personal experience in the development of this construct.

2. Thinking in terms of constructive alternativism, what was a personal construct that you revised or replaced with other alternatives? Describe the details related to this revision or replacement of this construct and the relevance of a personal experience in the revision or replacement of this construct.

3. How have your constructs impacted the development of your personality?

• Spacing – Double
• Length – 2 Pages (3 w/ Title Page)

Controlling the Health of America

Obesity has become a major health issue in the US. Currently 66% of the adult population is overweight with over 30% being considered obese. The percentage of children with obesity in the United States has tripled since the 1970’s. Today one in five school-age children (ages 6-19) is considered obese. One of the major causes for the increases in adult and childhood obesity rates is the consumption of high sugar content beverages (primarily soda type beverages). In an effort to try and stem the tide in the rise in obesity, states and/or cities are implementing taxes on these sugary drinks.

• Read the most current articles regarding soda taxes by clicking on the following links. https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2017/6/6/15745908/soda-tax-seattle-philadelphia-sugar-drinks (Links to an external site.).
• The law passed by San Francisco in 2015 would require beverage advertisements within city limits to include warnings that drinking sugary drinks contribute to health issues and is part of a campaign to reduce consumption of sweet beverages as a way to combat obesity, diabetes, heart disease and tooth decay.
• https://fox11online.com/news/nation-world/federal-court-blocks-san-francisco-warning-on-soda-ads (Links to an external site.)

• In June, 2018, the state of California struck a bargain with the major soda companies that would prevent cities from imposing any new taxes on groceries (soda, beverages, etc..) until 2030, effectively reducing the effect of the Berkeley tax had on soda sales and the lost revenue.
  • https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article213963039.html (Links to an external site.)

• Just recently in January 2019, the federal court blocked San Francisco law requiring health warnings on advertisements for soda and other sugary drinks, arguing that the law violates constitutionally protected commercial speech.
• Two recent studies (Feb. and May 2019, JAMA) state that the taxes may actually be working in reducing consumption of sugary beverages.

Some say that this is an example of government control, while other applaud the decision. You still have the freedom of choice, drink sodas and sugary drinks if you want or don’t drink them.

Should cities be allowed to implement such a tax? Support your position with the evidence you find most compelling.

If you are for the tax, state the ways in which you think the tax revenue will best be spent.

If you are against the tax, try to suggest alternative ways of dealing with the obesity and diabetes epidemics.
