Answer only ONE of the below questions:

In your opinion, which battle of the Revolutionary War had the greatest impact on the outcome of the war?

or

Discuss the importance of any ONE of the “Founding Fathers” (it can be a prominent one like Washington, Madison, Jefferson, etc or a lesser known one like Sam Adams, Patrick Henry, James Otis, etc.)

or

Compare and contrast the competing visions for America held by Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Are these views still relevant today?

Post your response of (minimum) 250 words in a neat, detailed, and thoughtful fashion. Then respond to at least two other student posts in a meaningful way (a minimum of 50 words each). You must post IN YOUR OWN WORDS (no copying/pasting from the internet, etc.). To receive credit, you must post your discussions by the due date! (Late posts will not be given credit).

• When you review the parent involvement study (Deslandes & Bertrand, 2005), you notice the researchers state a finding in paragraph 27:

“Parents’ perceptions of students’ invitations in the social domain was the most powerful predictor; it accounted for an additional 28% of the variance (beta = .35, p < .001).” From looking at the p value you would conclude:

• that the results were statistically significant.
• that the probability alpha level was set too low.
• that the authors should have set an exact p
• that the partial results indicated a significant p value of .001.

• Examine the following results reported in another quantitative study:

“The scores varied for band members (M=3.5), choir members (M=3.9), and for student athletes (M=5.4) for attitudes toward engaging in school activities during the 3-5 p.m. period of time. A comparison of the groups, at an alpha of .05, showed a statistically significant difference among the three groups, F(3,8)=9.87, p = .031, effect size = .91 SD.”

As you examine this statement, which of the following are true? (choose 2)

• The null hypothesis was rejected.
• The level of significance showed a probability of rejection set at 5 out of 100 time
• The statistics test used was a t-test.
• The magnitude of differences among the groups was more than one standard deviation.
• Band members differed significantly from student athletes in their attitudes.

• Read through the following transcript passage:

Line

1 The traffic was light on the outskirts of town as I drove the small

2 rented car back to my home. As I neared, I found myself talking

3 to myself in an uncharacteristic way, “Do you really want to do this?”

4 I knew that it would be traumatic to visit my home after 50 years. This

5 old house was where my mother died. She worked for a couple of

6 years in the elementary school just one short block away. I often

7 wondered what she was like as a teacher, how she played the piano,

8 and how she interacted with the kids. I’ll never know, but I might

9 catch glimpses of it if I go into the old school, check in at the desk

10 and ask anyone if they know what the building was like 50 years ago.

11 Maybe I’ll find someone who has a picture.

Create an outline for the “Marginalized Group Career Counseling Essay” in Topic 8.

Include at least four required scholarly references for the paper in your outline.

Refer to “Four Main Components for Effective Outlines,” located on the Purdue OWL website for help in completing your assignment. https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/544/01…

YOU ARE ONLY CREATING OUTLINE FOR THE UPCOMING ASSIGNMENT. YOU CAN PICK ANY GROUP FROM THE FOLLOWING LISTED BELOW.

For this assignment you will select a marginalized group (veterans,
minorities, individuals with disabilities, etc.) and write a paper of
1,750 to 2,100 words that can be used as a resource when working with
an individual from the selected group. Use peer-reviewed resources to
support your use of a specific career theory as well as interventions
with this population. The paper should include the following:

1. An explanation of who the population is and why it is
   important for this group to receive career counseling
2. Statistics on the group (e.g., how large, how many have
   employment problems, how many utilize career counseling)
3. Discussion of career counseling theory to be used with the group
   (e.g., Minnesota theory of work adjustment). Include evidence
   supporting the use of this theory in the general population as well
   as within the group. Please note: If none are available, it is
   important to indicate that as well.
4. Basic plan for
   counseling utilizing chosen theory (e.g., interview, use of
   assessment tools, explanation of theory)
5. Environmental/personal barriers that may prevent the client from
   finding work (e.g., disability, substance use history, felony,
   transportation, limited computer access)
6. Local resources
   available to help the client obtain work (e.g., job center, training
   programs, support groups)
7. Your conclusion on whether or not
   this plan is tenable and will work, based on the information listed
   above.

• Use the Internet or the Strayer Library to research articles on organizations that successfully go global and adopt global information systems. Next, select one (1) organization that successfully went global and adopted global information systems. Then, explain the overall manner in which the organization in question has benefited from its globalization. Include at least two (2) examples of such benefits to support your response.
• Describe the four (4) organizational structures, as discussed in Chapter 9 of the textbook, which determine the architect of a global information system. Next, identify one (1) obstacle to the design and implementation of a global information system, and explain one (1) way in which an organization can overcome the obstacle in question.

Zero to One by Peter Thiel and submit an eight-page report (excluding coversheet and references) following the structure below:

1. Summarize the book and identify the key takeaways from it. You should also discuss which of these key takeaways resonated with you the most and clearly explain why.
2. Discuss how this book has enabled you to see entrepreneurship/innovation/venture creation through a new (different) lens. You must also discuss what individuals should do to identify and pursue unique entrepreneurial opportunities.
3. Finally, discuss the differences that Theil highlighted between the semiconductor industry and the cleantech industry. Based on emerging trends (recent changes such as technological, social etc.) and Theil’s assessment (about the past and future), identify a unique entrepreneurial opportunity. What capabilities do you need to develop to pursue this entrepreneurial opportunity and what actions can you take now to develop these capabilities?
