The Task: Please answer the three essay questions below (please see) using college-level writing skills. Be sure that your answers are backed with specific historical evidence drawn from the works we’ve read so far – evidence that convinces me that you’ve read the Foner textbook and all relevant assigned books and documents. In completing this assignment, use no other materials than those assigned in our course. (NO OUTSIDE RESOURCES)

Citing Your Sources: Be sure to correctly cite the words you borrow.  If you borrow another author’s words, data, or ideas, use quotation marks to make clear what you’ve specifically borrowed, then immediately give a parenthetical citation telling me the work you’ve used, the author, and the page number. To NOT do this is to plagiarize, and that can lead to failing our class. 

Using another person’s words or ideas without citing their work or without using quotation marks to identify precisely what you’ve borrowed is plagiarism. Ignorance of the term is no excuse and it will earn you an “F” for the paper and a black mark on your academic transcript – the one that is sent to the college you hope to transfer to. 

In short, Good Student, do not plagiarize.

Other Specs: Each of the three mini-essays must each be, at minimum, 700 words long each.

If you wish to exceed the minimum word requirement, please do. In calculating your word total, I will not count your bibliography or title page, only the main body of the mini-essays themselves — your answers. Also know that the essays must be double-spaced throughout, typed, and that you must use Times New Roman. Be sure the file is in rich-text format (.rtf). No exceptions. If I can’t open your document for any reason, you will lose two full letter grades. (If you’re paper would have gotten an “A,” it can now only get a “C,” etc.) 

When you are done answering the three questions in three mini-essays of, at minimum, 700 words each, please submit them in ONE RTF FILE, not 3 separate ones. Read that again as well. (2100 words in total; 3 1/2 pages)

Do the best work you can, start early in drafting your essays, and use your own words. Your answers must use as much historical evidence as possible from as much of the assigned work as possible, so long as it’s relevant. All of the textbook chapters we have covered so far, up to the deadline, should be utilized in framing your answer so long as they are relevant and improve your essay.  Those who ignore the Foner, our main textbook in the class, will lose points.

Here are the Second (i.e. Final) Paper questions. Answer ALL THREE QUESTIONs for this Second and Final Essay Assignment.

1. Lincoln observed in 1864 that “we all declare for liberty, but in using the same word, we do not all mean the same things.” He continued to explain what the North meant and what the South meant, and how victory meant a national norm as defined by the North. Clear differences in what liberty meant can be found between the 1.) North and the South, 2.) between Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, 3.) between planter and factory-owner. What were those differences in the three groups I’ve just numbered? List at least 4 for each groups and discuss each separately and at length.
2. What does Foner say about the typical Southern Planter in the period from 1840-1860? Summarize his key points and cite what you borrow. In the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, how did Colonel Edward Lloyd fit Foner’s generic profile? How did he not? Get into facts, names, and dates. Show me you’ve read both sources carefully. Cite what you borrow.
3. A key theme in our course is the rise of Jacksonian America – a period that Douglass lived through. Where do we see evidence of Jacksonian America in his autobiography? First, define the term. Then list four instances in the Douglass work where it appears clearly and significantly. Discuss each instances separately and convincingly.

I will send you the all the chapters related to this assignment once I select you as my tutor. 

Please cite within your answers like so: (Foner, pg. #).

This assignment should be 3 1/2 pages long (2100 words, 700 words per question).

Thanks!

AFTER COMPLETING THE INITIAL POST, PLEASE ALSO RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING TWO STUDENTS REGARDING THE SAME TOPIC!

STUDENT ONE:

1. Being denied the job that you worked so hard for may cause you to doubt your abilities in that field. Your mind may begin to think things why did you not try harder” or “you should have prepared better.”

2. I agree with Structural functionalism. Without the Structure or framework of our society, we may begin to crumble or lose our stability, which can cause order in that society to Diminish. So I agree with structural functionalism in the sense if we did not have it our society would fall.

3. Throughout the years, the study of sociology has been added to. We have been able to learn about other society cultures and how they interact with each other. The study of sociology is important as it helps us to keep the study of how we, as a human race, evolve and build on each other.

4. I think I would try to use the observation method. Since you can immerse yourself into their culture to truly learn about it, or you can do non-participant where you just observe them and do not immerse yourself into their culture. A strength of this choice is you can immerse yourself into their culture and traditions and learn firsthand how and why they do things. A weakness in it seems you can either a participant or non-participant. It does not seem to have an overlap of them both.

5. I have experienced Filipino culture and indigenous Mexican culture. Where I live, we have quite a large Filipino and Indigenous people population. I have found they have similar traditions when it comes in Christmas and Easter. They may be similar, but with every culture, they have their differences.

6. The show I choose is: NCIS

a. They have patterns of catching and stopping the bad guys, and they find love. with their end goals are to have the people of Virginia safe.
b. They lock up bad guys, follow leads to catch the bad guys, and they solve crimes to give the families peace of mind over their loved ones.
c. They lock up bad people,
d. Since they are special agents, the law is a part of the show. They solve crimes that break our basic laws in the state of Virginia. Like no murdering, drugs, or stealing.

7. Since children are more impressionable, then adults how they think they appear to others can have a significant impact on their self-image since the looking glass self seems to be built on how we receive judgments from others. Young children since they are still learning and growing. The looking glass self may cause them to have anxiety over certain situations. I do not think the looking glass self is the best for children who are so impressionable. An example, if a parent or guardian keeps putting the child down by saying they are not good enough. This will have lifelong effects on a child’s life.

8. Inequality can occur in socialization through different ways like Sexism, racism, or a person’s income. There may be many factors for how inequality can happen in socialization.

9. I was on a dance teen when I was a freshman, and a Girl Scout my whole school life. I still participate in my church events as a volunteer.

10. I am currently a girl scout leader for my nieces’ troop as well as a Sunday school teacher at my church.

11. I think I experience role-strain between my oldest niece and me. We have an 11-year age gap. We tend to act more like sisters then niece and aunt. So, I try to be a good example for her, but since I am still young and learning myself, I slip up and end up not being the best example for her in the long run.

12. I consider my Master’s status to be a teacher since I am in charge of a full class of students every day.

Word count 660

STUDENT TWO:

1. If a person gets fired from their job after being told to improve they could look at themselves and say “This is your fault you should have improved. You should have tried harder”

2. I agree with the functionalist perspective. Although, I believe the society we live in is based around the conflict perspective. Social groups are constantly competing for power and resources. an example is most feminists believe they are being controlled by men and are also pro-choice, in turn, they think men in power are taking away women’s resources to make their own choices. In my opinion, the most functional society would be structural functionalism because I want peace and I know the only way to effectively do this is when all parts of society work together.

3. Sociology is the study of society, social relationships, and social interaction in everyday life. It is important because it mainly focuses on the study of human interactions. Without an in-depth understanding of why and how humans interact we would be able to have social change and reform within the society.

4. Case studies interest me the most. The biggest advantage of a case study is that you get a very in-depth view of a small group or a person. Therefore, if something can’t be recreated because of physical or ethical reasons it can still be studied. They are also great for creating new research if a case study is completed by a person and it holds ground it can then go on and be researched more. Case studies are very open-ended and can be about something that has only happened once but it allows for other researchers to see and maybe want to pick up and keep researching it. A disadvantage of case studies would be the possibility of memory or judgment errors. The biggest disadvantage is that most case studies cannot be replicated which is vital for conclusive research but, it is good for creating new research which is what I find to be so exciting about it.

5. I have traveled to over 30 countries, therefore, I have experienced many different cultures. The most fascinating culture I have experienced would be in the country of Cambodia.

6. I picked the TV show You.

a. The pattern in this show is him stalking and killing anyone who conflicts with his end goal. His values are for the women he is “in love” with. He sees protecting her as his highest honor and that no one else matters.

b. Obsession and personal space. At some points in this show, characters invade each other’s privacy but do it in a way that doesn’t break any laws but would seem odd to the average person.

c. Mores in this show include being a homewrecker which means hooking up with someone in a relationship another. It is not against the law but there is moral consequences faced when you do it.

d. The main character breaks many laws such as stealing, murder, and excessive stalking.

7. The looking-glass self is much more prominent in young adults and children because they are highly impressionable. In the twentieth century, mobile phones and social media are on the rise. Young adults use social media more than adults and this is going to taint how they view themselves. An example is when someone edits and posts selfies on Instagram, said person is looking for reassurance that they are pretty based on likes and comments.

8. Inequality occurs through socialization mainly because of income. There is more opportunity for people with money than without. An example is a school, my best friend got into NYU but because they only gave her $10,000 in scholarship money it is still incredibly expensive and she cannot afford it, even though she worked just as hard as everyone else to get in she cannot go because of her parent’s income.

9. At St. Pete High I was in an all-girl service club called Rojans. We had to try out and get voted in, we participated in city clean-ups and many other events. I also participated in Varsity cheer and track. I also work two jobs.

10. I was the caption of the team during my senior season in cheerleading. I’m also a good employee at my jobs. A daughter to my mother and a role model for my little sister.

11. I’d say I can feel role strain sometimes trying to be a good influence for my little sister. I want to check all the boxes of a “good role model” but sometimes I slip up and make bad decisions. Although I believe overall this also helps her see the good and the bad of adult life.

12. I’d say my master status is being a daughter. I am not in a relationship nor do I have any kids therefore, I relate mostly with being a daughter to my parents. I respect my parents and still answer mostly to them because I live at home.

PREPARATION

To prepare for this assessment, complete the following:

• Read Chapters 1 and 2 of Arthur’s Recruiting, Interviewing, Selecting, and Orienting New Employees e-book, linked in the Resources.
• Browse Fortune.com’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” list, linked in the Resources.
• Read the scenario below.

Scenario

CapraTek, a fictitious technology company, has a long history as a leader in the design and manufacture of computer server components and continues to provide innovative solutions to industry needs. They are currently leveraging this culture of innovation to expand into emerging wireless technologies. As part of that diversification, CapraTek is developing advanced smart-home technology.

Last month, CapraTek announced that it will begin developing a wireless system providing seamless integration of newer home electronics and appliances capable of being controlled electronically. Security, heating and cooling, lights, locks, telephone, home entertainment, computers, and gaming devices all controlled through a single wireless device and a simple Web-based interface—”It’s better than a butler, it’s Alfred!” Alfred! will be produced in a new manufacturing facility currently in the planning phase. Groundbreaking on the new facility is planned within the next six months with full operations to be accomplished in three phases over the next two years. Distribution of the Alfred! device and components will be through existing distributors and retail outlets.

As part of the human resources team, you have been asked to support locating and staffing this new manufacturing facility in order to meet CapraTek’s strategic growth needs. The plan is for Phase 1 to be needed in one year and Phases 2 and 3 at one-year intervals after that. Here is some data you have uncovered when looking at similar CapraTek facilities opened within the past five years:

• Phase 1 = 140 production employees.
• Phase 2 = An additional 80 production employees.
• Phase 3 = An additional 120 production employees.

CapraTek’s facilities management has informed you that the initial training will take place on-site, and staff from other CapraTek locations will conduct the training over approximately a six-week period. Past experiences suggest that only one in five employees interviewed will be both qualified and willing to accept the job, and 20 percent of those hired will not complete the training.

REQUIREMENTS

Select a U.S. state to analyze as a possible location that will support CapraTek’s hiring projections for the new facility. (Normally, this duty is not an HR function.) Using the described CapraTek hiring scenario, write a 2–3 page memo to CapraTek’s VP of operations in which you include the following:

• Identify the number of production employees to recruit and hire. Note: This is to include the number of applicants needed to meet Phases 1, 2, and 3 as well as the number of hirings needed to meet production of the new product.
• Describe how employment and demographic trends for your selected state impact CapraTek’s future workforce planning.
• Assess elements of CapraTek’s workplace culture that could be developed for it to become an employer of choice. Include at least three elements, and support your answer from readings and other credible sources.
