Response the brain and its many wonders

/in /by

Please provide a 150 word response to the following;

So since learning about our physical brain it has influenced my thoughts about human nature dramatically. There was a lot of information I didn’t know, our brain is so complex and many expereinces from the brain tell us about how we see, operate and even sleep. Getting to know more about the physical brain has led me to think, that we should explore our mind and the capabilites it has. Study the brain to find out more information. That is how I was once reading this chapter. It seemed more like an interesting novel you can’t put down because of what may happen next.

So since most information in the brain is processed outside of our awareness, we can include ourselves into sleep experiements for examples. They have case studies you can volunteer for as well. There is this place I heard of that , you can spend the night in a room by yourself, these people who run the facility hook you up to an EEG and they monitor your sleep and the next day they go over your results with you . That could be a way of educating yourself on your brain.

3.Although very similar politically and legally with the United States today, Roman society was vastly different than our own. Compare and contrast Roman society with that of Modern America. Give specific examples for support. (250 words or more)

I need a citation from this book (I DO NOT have it): Western Civilization: A Brief History, Vol. I: to 1715, Jackson Spielvogel, 9th ed

First peer: 50 words or more

1. Using the six characteristics of the civilization described in Ch 1 (page 5), what are the specific characteristics of Roman Civilization described in this chapter? Use specific examples to support your conclusion.

One of the first characteristics mentioned is the Roman politics which were very elaborate. They had their chief executive officers know as Consuls and Praetors. There were 2 consuls chosen every year and they “administered the government and led the Roman army into battle” (98). They had the right to command or as they called it imperium. The Praetors generally took over only when the Consuls were in battle, but they can do the same thing that Consuls can. His number 1 duty was to execute justice. There were also Quaestors who were assistants to Consuls and Praetors, Aediles who supervised the games and watcher of the food supply. The Centuriate Assembly was the army doing political functions.

There was also a social division of 2 groups- Patricians who were direct descendants of original senators appointed during the King’s time and were considered wealthy landowners. They were the only ones who could be consuls, magistrates, and senators. The Plebeians were those who were poorer, unprivileged and were the larger of the two groups. Both groups could vote but only Patricians could be elected. Everyone can get married but you could not be a Patrician and marry and plebeian. Over time the Plebeians were tired of their lack of involvement and left the states but that made the Roman army weak so to bring them back they created the Tribunes of the Plebs (2 officers who protected the rights of plebeians). Which ten became the council of the plebs.

Roman religion was very involved in everyday life and Romans believed that they were totally dependent on the Gods. “The official state religion focused on the worship of a pantheon of gods and goddesses, including, Jupiter, Juno, Minerva, and Mars” (106). As time moved on, more gods and goddesses were added in and places worshiped new deities. Greek and Roman gods and goddesses were hand in hand (Greek Hermes=Roman Mercury) and this was called the Greco-Roman Religion. Each house had their own God or Goddess and it was the responsibility of the head of the household (the paterfamilias) to make sure that religious obligations were being met in the home.

Romans also depended on Greeks for artistic inspiration. They excelled in architecture and used many Greek styles in their artwork. They also were the first people to use concrete in a huge scale.

4. What were the main socio-economic and political problems Rome faced during the last century of the Republic? How do these problems and the attempts to solve them compare to the partisan politics we face in the United States today?

The main socio-economic and political problems that Rome faced were that the senators running the state were 1) in office for life so they could do anything they wanted with impunity. 2) A majority of the leaders can from a few families. so they would act with their own interest in mind. “Hence, the nobiles constituted a governing oligarchy whose members managed, through landed weath, patronage and intimidation, to maintain their hold over the magistrates and senate and thus guide the destiny of Rome while running the state in their own interests” (Spielvogel 112). The divide between those who had their own ideas vs those who wanted what was best for rome caused a large political fight. (Spielvogel 112). Then to make matters worse farmers were the main source of income for the republic and the Punic Wars destroyed or crippled many farms so most of the farmers just sold off their land so they didnt have to fix it all. That caused the most damage, because of this the nobles of Rome bought up the land but needed serfs or slaves to take care of it, but because military service was extended from 2 to 6 years no one was available and those who were there, could not afford the expensive crops of grapes and olives and farm animals like sheep. (Spielvogel 112). This can compare to today because there is a large gap in wealth, how 1% can control 50% of wealth. This creates many issues like how rome had problems so can the present. When you have such a large disparity and higher taxes on the poorer people create more poor people and the cycle continues until something breaks and it all falls or reform happens before something worse can happen.

Analyzing Current Involvement Programs

/in /by

This is a brief summary of the assignment attached I have a template that you must follow to complete the assignment. Please open all attachment they are need to complete the assignment I am on a very strict deadline.

Analyzing Current Involvement Programs

Schools can and do influence how their supporting community – parents and other family
members, businesses, agencies, and organizations – interacts with students and school
personnel. Because research shows that family and community involvement has a positive
impact on student learning, schools should increase the level of all kinds of community
involvement.

In this module’s analysis, you will describe and analyze two of your school’s community
involvement programs, their goals, their levels of participation, impact on student learning, and
various aspects that prevent and promote their success.

Course Objective
 Describe the components of effective parent-family-community engagement programs.

Part 1: Analyzing Current Involvement Programs
You will analyze your school’s current community engagement programs to show the student
needs they address and who is most involved in the program. Then you will select two of the
programs you have analyzed (one that primarily involves parents and one that primarily involves
the larger community), and complete a SWOT analysis to identify each program’s strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.

Directions:

1. Compose an introductory paragraph for your paper to introduce your school and its
school/parent/community involvement programs.

2. Create the chart in your Word or text document.


 In the chart, identify up to four parent/community involvement programs that your
school currently has in place. Your list is to include at least one parent program and
one community (external partner) program.
 List the student need(s) that each program addresses.

 Rate the current level of participation in each program by the three contributors:
School personnel, families, and communities. A rating of 1 indicates minimal
participation and 5 indicates full participation.

 Rate the current impact of each program’s contributors on student learning. A rating
of 1 indicates lowest impact on student learning and 5 highest.

Example Chart:

Name and
Description
Need(s)

Personnel Families Community School
Personnel Families Community

Directions:

Analyze the partnership information you have gathered by considering the following questions.
Respond to each question a well-developed paragraph.

1. Which programs most effectively involve parents/family, school, and community?
Explain.

2. Which programs most effectively impact student achievement at your school? Describe.

3. Overall, who provides the most support for your school’s programs? What evidence do
you have to support your choice?

4. How is program information communicated to parents/family, the community, and
throughout the school? How could the communication be made more effective?

5. Who could become involved in specific programs to increase the programs’
effectiveness? Explain why these stakeholders are appropriate.

6. How could additional participants be drawn into these community engagement
programs? Suggest several strategies.

7. What needs do students at your school have that are not being addressed? What type of
community engagement program might best address those student needs?

Part 2: Analyzing Current Involvement Programs
SWOT Analysis
A SWOT analysis is a strategic planning tool used to identify the strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats for a program or organization.

Directions for Completion:


 From the list you developed in Part 1, select two programs (one that involves
parents/families and one that involves the larger community).


 Create the chart in the Word or text document.

 Analyze each program by completing the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities, and Threats) analysis.


 Compose a concluding paragraph for your paper.

Example Chart:
Aspect (Parent Program) (CommunityProgram)

Strengths: Positive features
of the partnership. What are
its resources and
capabilities on which to
potentially build?

Weaknesses: Sometimes a
weakness is the absence of
a strength, such as high
cost. Other times, a
weakness could be the flip
side of a strength. Huge
involvement can be a
strength, but it might be a
weakness if you are trying to
gain consensus around a
change.

Opportunities: Potential
opportunities for growth or
becoming stronger.
Examples include the
involvement of new people,
unexpected funding, and
new possibilities within an
existing partnership.

Threats: People or factors
that threaten the program.
Examples include
anticipated downsizing in a
partner and the “graduation”
of a strong, informal
community leader.
