For this assignment you are to update future readers of the textbook(Comparative Criminal Justice System by Harry R. Dammer and Jay S. Albanese) and create a short section titled Addendum. The first two sentences should be: “Since the publication of Comparative Criminal Justice Systems in 2013 a number of significant political and criminal justice developments have occurred in France. The following section highlights some of these developments.” There is no minimum or maximum word count. However, more does not necessarily mean better. Instead, think of something concise. Your summary and research should be properly cited in APA (similar to the textbook).

Some of the topics you should address include major terrorist attacks, the radicalization of French Muslim youth into joining the Islamic State (IS), the refugee crisis and its causes, the rise of the far right, and changes in political leadership in France that have occurred since 2013. You may also want to address any criminal justice issues that have resulted from the Covid-19 pandemic.

With the exception of the article provided below, you have complete freedom to choose your sources. However, your sources should be legitimate news sources, should reflect events that occurred since 2013, and should be properly cited in the narrative in APA (same as textbook) and properly referenced at the end of your narrative. There should be a minimum of ten (10) sources (including the assigned New Yorker article).

Finally, incorporating the New Yorker article The Other France (link below), address the issue of Islamic radicalization in France in your Addendum. Specifically you should describe the role that the French policy of secularism, called laïcité, and prisons have in radicalization.

Effective professional writing means more than simply pulling together the information your readers need. It also means arranging and presenting that information in a way that is useful and easy to follow. The basic elements of a well-designed page include font style, size, use of color, images or graphics, and white space, as well as the way the information is grouped or clustered together and the order in which it is presented.
Design guru Robin Williams (no, not the actor) identified four key principles, known by the acronym CRAP in her best-selling book, The Non-Designer’s Design Book, which is well worth the price for any writer! For this assignment, you’ll review some design basics and create a one-page flyer or information page for a dental office.
Part 1

(1) Read: Lannon, Ch. 13, “Designing Pages and Documents,” p. 283-306 and Visual Design Theory (PDF)

(2) Create a flyer or information page for a new dental practice, using the strategies from the readings. Here’s the information that needs to be included:
Announcing the opening of the Dental Office of Dr. Noor Lunstrum, specializing in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics. Suite 15, 198 Newcastle Drive, Richmond, IN 47374, 765-9999. Cleaning, Fillings, Teeth Whitening (safe for all enamel), Anxiety-Free Drilling, Wide Range of Numbing Choices, Gum Disease and Halitosis Treatments. Payment plans available. Most insurance plans accepted. Grand Opening Apr. 1, 2015. We are located right behind Eddinger Park. Dr. Lunstrum is joining Drs. Finley and Kim in their practice. New patients welcome. Office hours: 7:30 am—6:00 pm M-F, 8:00 am-Noon Saturdays. Dr. Lunstrum has ten years’ experience in helping kids to love taking care of their teeth. www.finleykimandlunstrum.com. What is pediatric dentistry? Simply put, this is a practice devoted to kids! We employ the latest techniques to minimize the trauma and fear that often accompany children’s visits to the dentist. We understand that there are many other places that your kids would rather go, and yet as parents, we know that regular dental care is critical to keeping good health. Our office reflects architectural design principles aimed at creating a friendly setting and our staff has received specialized training in attending to the smallest of patients. When you bring your kids here, you’ll experience the difference—and so will they!
Does this look like a big jumble of information? It is! Your job is to make it readable through visual design principles. You can use the exact wording provided–the key here is how you design the page, particularly employing use of spacing, contrast, alignment, proximity, font choice, white space, subheadings and other features.
If you want to play with the wording, that’s okay. Just don’t omit any information. And please DO NOT use a template, such as in Word, Publisher or other programs! The goal is for you to exercise your OWN page design skills

Do you think that the military conquest of Native Americans in the Trans-Mississippi West was inevitable? Examine in some depth the experiences of at least one specific Native American culture from the trans-Mississippi West.

/in /by

In the mid-nineteenth century the trans-Mississippi west was home to some 350,000 Native Americans living in scores of distinct cultural groups. Many of these people lived according to their traditional ways and had little or no interaction with mainstream (people of European or African ancestry) Americans. By the 1880s, all of the American Indian peoples had been militarily defeated and placed on reservations, where they were often dependent on government handouts for survival. Indians who left the reservations were regarded as “hostiles” and were hunted down and either killed or returned to the reservations.

Do you think that the military conquest of Native Americans in the Trans-Mississippi West was inevitable?

In answering this question, be sure to examine in some depth the experiences of at least one specific Native American culture from the trans-Mississippi West. There is some information in the textbook on a handful of Indian cultures, including the Lakota (or Sioux), the Comanche, the Apache, and the Nez Perce. You may want to pick one of these cultures to explore, but feel free to choose another if you like. For this assignment you will certainly need to do some outside research on the culture you decide to write about.

In answering this week’s discussion question you will want to touch on the following topics: (1) What was the nature of the Native American society you are examining in the mid-nineteenth century, in the period before significant contact with the mainstream culture? (2) How did the Indian culture you are discussing respond to mainstream American encroachment on their homeland? (3) What factors contributed to the military defeat of this culture/society? (4) You may also want to comment on what life was like for the people of this culture in the years after their military defeat.

Your point of view on this discussion question should also be supported by specific cited evidence from EACH of the following sources:

(1) Chapter Sixteen in the Give Me Liberty! textbook.

(2) Each of the primary sources posted in folders in the unit six area.

(3) Outside source(s) (websites, videos, etc.) you find related to a specific Native American culture

Assignment description: 

In this assignment, we’ll be producing an example of a genre of your choice. Working with your genre of choice, define what the genre is and how it works, using three examples of the genre. From that starting place, you’ll draft your own text within the genre. Once you’re done, you’ll write a short explanation of how your text belongs in the genre and how it matches up with your examples of the genre.

 

Questions to consider:

  1. Style—What is the tone of the genre? How does it appeal to readers?
  2. Design—What formatting choices define the genre? What types of design choices are possible? How are they used?
  3. Medium—Where is the genre found? How does that location/technology impact the format of the genre and access to it?
  4. Use—Who uses this genre? How do they use it? What types of things usually get talked about with this genre?

Assignment Guidelines

There will be three major components of this assignment: your explanation of the genre, based on your examples; your example of the genre; and your explanation of your example fits the constraints of the genre as you’ve defined them.

What is the relative importance attached to (male) friendship in the society?  How is the society structured in a way that supports and encourages close bonds between men?

/in /by

Below you will find a small selection of theoretical questions relating to the course.  Any of these questions can be turned into a paper topic, especially for Paper 1.

  1. What is the relative importance attached to (male) friendship in the society?  How is the society structured in a way that supports and encourages close bonds between men?
  2. What is the relationship in the society between male friendship and marriage?  In what way do they work together?  In what way, for example, must marriage in the premodern societies work to reinforce and support male friendship as the most important relationship in that society?
  3. Why is it that male friendship is given more importance in premodern and, to a certain extent, early modern societies?  What has made male friendship today diminished.  (You might ask how our society is structured in such a way that it encourages and promotes marriage (and the nuclear family) even as it requires that other relationships, including friendship, bow down to this relationship.)
  4. Think about how human relationships differed when society was structured differently.  How did male friendship feel, and how does this feeling differ from the feeling we might have today toward our friends?  Relatedly, how did marriage feel, and how did it differ from how it felt today?  Even though I keep using the term, “diminish,” this question really should be considered in terms of the quality of the affection rather than simply the intensity.
  5. In what way was friendship characterized by ritualistic behavior?  In what way was it considered a spiritual entity?  How does this compare and contrast to how marriage is considered by many (but not all) in our society?  Do we still have rituals around friendship?  If so, why not?  What do these rituals tell us about the way friendship felt or what it meant?
  6. How do physical acts of intimacy serve to express the intimacy between men?  Did earlier cultures have the same homophobia — that is, fear that certain behavior or actions in their relationship would signify as an inappropriate relationship?  Without such homophobia (or awareness of something called “homosexuality”), how are male friendships constructed differently?
