For this next essay assignment, you will research a popular conspiracy theory. These theories have not been proven due to their lack of concrete evidence, which is why they are still considered a theory. Your task is to select a popular conspiracy theory, provide background information on the theory for your reader, research the reasons behind the theory and then provide either the flaw(s) or the reason(s) why they are true! To put it simply, a conspiracy theory is an alternative explanation to an event. In order for a conspiracy theory to first begin, there has to be some lack of evidence or something that may not make sense. Unfortunately, what makes it a conspiracy and not reality is the lack of hard evidence. This is why it is difficult to prove a conspiracy theory.

These are important questions when looking at any conspiracy theory:

• Does it make sense and/or is it reasonable?

• Is there enough evidence to support the theory?

• Does the conspiracy theory actually explain what happened?

Process:

• Select one conspiracy theory.

• Begin researching the theory.

• EITHER Find reasons/sources to support the opinion that the theory is true OR find three reasons/sources to prove the theory is false.

• Begin the rough draft of your essay.

Expectations:

• Your essay should be a minimum of three (3) pages and a maximum of five (5) pages.

• Your essay should have an introduction, at least three body paragraphs and a conclusion.

• Your introduction must have a thesis statement that indicates a clear, reason(s) for your theory.

• Double-space your essay

• Type your essay

• Write in third person (one/he/she/it/they/their) No I or you

• Include a captivating title

• Indent each paragraph

• Keep paragraphs balanced (include the approximate number of sentences in each)

• ALL sources needed to be cited accordingly to MLA or APA style

Explains how some research on cross-cultural studies is exploratory, others look at socialization patterns of religiosity, and communication or language.

Leslie Waller

When looking at three major challenges to conducting cross-cultural research there is a lot to know and understand about the methods in which the research was conducted. Van de Vijver (2009) explains how some research on cross-cultural studies is exploratory, others look at socialization patterns of religiosity, and finally communication or language. Do the same or similar words translate across cultures.

Understanding the various types of research designs, quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods are described by Leech & Onwuegbuzie (2009). The various approaches are outlined as quantitative research paradigm was considered research because it was the first research paradigm that incorporated ontological, epistemological, axiological, rhetorical, and methodological assumptions and principles Leech & Onwuegbuzie (2009). A qualitative design was then used when disputing quantitative design. Later mixed methods were used to combine the methods in which to better incorporate all methods and data.

By looking at multiple factors in research as well as looking at research biases it can be seen where cross-cultural research can be challenging. As some research may not be legitimized having a practice for how research is set and a set guideline on standards, would help reduce challenges when doing new research.

MODULE 3: PROBABILITY PROJECT

The purpose of this Probability Project is to show your understanding of what you have learned in Module 3. You will watch a video and apply the appropriate probability concepts from this module. You will discuss your !earnings in a 2-page paper as outlined below.
Instructions
This is a fun assignment to do. In chapter 5 you learned about basic probability and learned about conditional probability. Now, you get to see these two in action. You may have heard of the TV game: “Let’s Make a Deal,” where at the end of the show, contestants are presented with 3 doors and they are informed that behind one of the doors is a brand-new car. So, the contestant chooses one of three doors. Then the game show host (First one was Monty Hall), opens a door and reveals a goat. Then Monty asks if the contestant wants to switch or not. So, the question is, what is the probability of winning? Should I stay, or should I switch? What would you do?
Imagine that the set of Monty Hall’s game show Let’s Make a Deal has three closed doors. Behind one of these doors is a car; behind the other two are goats. The contestant does not know where the car is, but Monty Hall does. The contestant picks a door and Monty opens one of the remaining doors, one he knows doesn’t hide the car. If the contestant has already chosen the correct door, Monty is equally likely to open either of the two remaining doors. After Monty has shown a goat behind the door that he opens, the contestant is always given the option to switch doors. What is the probability of winning the car if she stays with her first choice? What if she decides to switch? Think about what you think the answer is: stay or switch?
1. Watch a TEDEd video that explains the problem: “Should I stay or should I switch doors?”
2. Write a paper that includes:
a. What did you think the probability of winning the car was, before you watched the video? (3 points)
b. Information from the video what the answer really is (3 points)
c. How can you use probability and probability rules in arriving at the answer? What probability ideas does this demonstrate and use? Explain and give examples. You may use other sources as well but make sure to cite them (you may want to watch the extended version of the video if you are not sure, watch the Monty Hall Problem video. (15 points)
d. Are you surprised by the answer to the question “stay or switch”? Does it make sense? (3 points)
e. 2 pages long, using size 12 font, double spaced, cover page, references included. (3 points) References Should I stay or should I switch doors? (n.d.). Retrieved from https://ed.ted.com/featured/PWb09pny

Week 9

Ross is conducting a study where he has participants complete an implicit association test (IAT) at two time points – 1. Before, and 2. after, playing the computer game ‘Mortal Combattle’. The IAT that Ross is using involves categorizing concepts of ‘self vs. other’ and attributes ‘peaceful vs. aggressive’. Ross hypothesizes that playing the game ‘Mortal Combattle’ will prime higher implicit levels of aggression in the participants. Does the IAT provide an internal or external indicator of aggression? [1 point] Considering Ross’s hypothesis, how are participants expected to behave when categorizing relevant words on ‘self and peaceful’ trials after playing the game compared with before playing the game? [1 point] How are participants expected to behave when categorizing relevant words on ‘self and aggressive’ trials after playing the game compared with before playing the game? [1 point] In this example study has Ross used a within-participants or between-participants design? Explain your reasoning. [1 point]
