Write a comprehensive compare and contrast essay on the novel AND the film Wuthering Heights.

To write a strong, four-paragraph compare and contrast AP-style essay, you MUST discuss BOTH similarities and differences and ANALYZE why they occur. While it may be easy to trace similarities and differences in the plot, your task is more than that; you MUST include your personal analysis to make your essay stronger.

Once you have finished reading the novel and watched (or re-watched) the film (accessible free on YouTube), you will brainstorm how the two works are alike and dissimilar and answer the AP-question, so what?

Create an introduction. Start your essay with a hook (a quote or an intriguing question). Give some general background on the topic. Present and underline your thesis statement. Remember that your thesis should not only hint at differences and similarities, but also answer the “so what?”
Write two body paragraphs. Follow your outline and use appropriate transitions. Do NOT include ANY book or movie quotes or citations.
Conclude effectively. Restate your thesis and summarize your points. Let your reader understand that the synthesis of all these points allows them to learn something new about both the movie and the book.

How would “Overhead charges” (review the Budgeting chapter if you do not remember learning about this term) impact the two estimates that you have calculated?

You are going to be the project manager for the construction of a large warehouse for a major international company. Of course, there are many elements involved in constructing such a large facility, but this assignment will consider only one, the laying of the facility’s foundation (which is obviously preceded by site preparation and followed by the actual construction of the building).

In preparation for completing of this element of the project—laying the facility foundation—complete the following:

Locate a source of data for the hourly wages that will need to be paid to those who will pour and finish the concrete foundation (the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States government is a good source for such information). Be sure to document the source of your hourly wage data for such concrete workers.
Locate a source of data for the cost of a cubic yard of reinforced concrete. Be sure to document the source of your reinforced concrete cost data.
Assuming that eight workers will be needed for the completion of the project, that they will work five days per week for 10 hours per day, and that it will take them three full weeks to complete the pouring of the foundation, what is your estimate (based on the hourly wage data that you located) of the labor expense of pouring the foundation?
Assuming that the foundation will require 400 cubic yards of concrete, what is your estimate (based on the hourly wage data that you located) of the cost of the materials needed for pouring the foundation?
How would “Overhead charges” (review the Budgeting chapter if you do not remember learning about this term) impact the two estimates that you have calculated?
How would an increase in the cost of steel (one of the components of reinforced concrete) impact the budget that you had developed?
If the construction site was impacted by a hurricane during the preparation of the foundation (meaning that work had to be temporarily stopped), how would the overall schedule of the construction project be.

How is the uncertainty in project scheduling dealt with? Why is activity-on-arrow (AOA) or activity-on-node (AON) of significant value to the project manager?

The critical path.
How long it will take to complete the project?
How does simulation determine the probabilities of various project completion times?
What is “slack” and why is it important?
Why is activity-on-arrow (AOA) or activity-on-node (AON) of significant value to the project manager?
How is the uncertainty in project scheduling dealt with?
Should the critical path activities be managed differently from noncritical path activities? Explain.

Using what you know about your chosen area, devise a POP strategy to address the problem. Explain how your strategy can help in overall COP efforts in the area.

Assignment
Police officials who have decided to adopt the community-policing philosophy need to first understand both community-oriented policing (COP) and problem-oriented policing (POP) programs. Once a particular program has been accepted by all organizational members, there is the need to properly plan for a COP or POP program. The planning process requires various steps or phases, including the following:
Time for consideration of how to prepare the project or program
When to initiate the program or project (the actual full implementation)
A preliminary evaluation of the program or project’s milestones
What follow-up and assessments of the program or project should be conducted
Other planning considerations could include any unforeseen obstacles and problems that could stall the implementation of the program or project.
Assignment Guidelines
In 4–6 paragraphs, address the following:
In your own words, define problem-oriented policing (POP). Compare and contrast it to community-oriented policing (COP), making sure to list both the things they have in common and the unique qualities of each.
Review crime statistics from a location of your choice (such as an area near where you live) using a source of your choosing or by going to this Web site to find real-life problems in an area of your choice: Crime Reports.
Pick a problem in your chosen area. The problem can be very simple and small or wide-reaching and large. Examples of a problem may be vehicle break-ins, vandalism, or theft.
Using what you know about your chosen area, devise a POP strategy to address the problem. Explain how your strategy can help in overall COP efforts in the area. If there is a way to involve information technology in your strategy, be sure to explain.

Educate law enforcement about the dynamics of abuse and neglect cases-What laws protect victims, including the use of protection orders.

/in /by

Assignment Details
The prosecutor is getting feedback from local law enforcement officers explaining that they are discouraged from making arrests in cases of domestic violence and child abuse. They claim that they have been neither making arrests in domestic violence situations nor arresting both parties when they go out on a call. It seems that abused women often go back to the abusers, and children who get removed from the homes where they have been abused often return after removal. These occurrences have been especially demoralizing to law enforcement.
One of your jobs in working as a Victims’ Witness Assistant is to help educate law enforcement on the nature and behaviors involved in domestic violence and child abuse. The prosecutor’s office has decided that you should present each of the following topics for the next training session:
Topic 1 Domestic Violence: Your goal is to educate law enforcement to use best practices in the investigation of domestic abuse cases. Include the following topics in your PowerPoint presentation of 5 slides with notes:
How to approach a domestic violence situation when responding to an emergency call
When the parties should be separated
How to interview parties
What information needs to be in the report and why.
How to best help a victim
What laws protect victims, including the use of protection orders
Why victims return to abusers
Length of time it may take to stay away from their abusers
Arrests
The legal standard that is needed to make an arrest in a domestic violence case
What evidence should be collected at the arrest
Whether dual arrests are effective law enforcement
How to assist domestic violence victims
Reluctant victims
Help for victims
Topic 2 Child Abuse: Your goal will be to educate law enforcement about the dynamics of abuse and neglect cases. Include the following topics:
Signs of child abuse and categories (e.g., physical, sexual, and emotional)
Difference between the terms abuse and neglect
Legal description of neglect
Use of guardian ad litem
The legal standards that must be met in a child’s removal from the home
Termination of parental rights
Requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA)
Role of court-appointed special advocates (CASA) in child abuse and neglect cases
Role of Social Services in abuse and neglect cases

How can Artificial Intelligence technology be used to improve customer experience for tourism in South African game and nature parks?

Approved Research Question – From Lecturer and Notes

How can Artificial Intelligence technology be used to improve customer experience for tourism in South African game and nature parks?

Then you could do for sub-questions
What are challenges for customers of South African game and nature parks? (This could be done with a survey or something?)
How is AI used to improve customer experience in general? (This is actually a background question … perhaps do a SLR?)

And then you could perhaps build a model or framework or something as the answer to the main question.

Finally you should adjudicate. Is the original argument or objection ultimately successful and the best response available a failure? Is the argument or objection sunk? Or can the argument or objection be successfully defended against the best available critique?

/in /by

4-6 pages maximum length, double spaced, 11 point font
COMPOSITION: Each question asks you to set out an argument (or an objection — but objections are of course themselves just a certain kind of negatively-intended argument).
Your reconstruction should clearly identify and distinguish the argument’s or objection’s various assumptions, it should clearly explain the inferences made in that argument or objection, and it should also clearly set out the intended conclusion of that argument or objection.
Each question also asks you to present a ‘reasoned evaluation.’ A ‘reasoned evaluation’ will involve raising one or two of the best objections you can to the argument under consideration, or alternatively, one or two of the best replies to the objection under consideration. (The objections or replies might be original to you, drawn from your reading of the secondary literature [with appropriate credit given], or they might come from class discussion etc.)
Finally you should adjudicate. Is the original argument or objection ultimately successful and the best response available a failure? Is the argument or objection sunk? Or can the argument or objection be successfully defended against the best available critique? Grading is based on accuracy, completeness, and philosophical acuity of the essay considered as a response to the question posed. Clear, precise writing is also essential.

(It is important to answer every part of the question; each successive part should be thought of as leading the essay writer step-by-step through the writing of a satisfactory short essay.)

2. In Berkeley’s Three Dialogues, the character Philonous (the spokesperson for Berkeley’s own immaterialist philosophy) argues that the heat that we immediately perceive by sense is “nothing distinct from” one or another kind of pain or pleasure, and therefore “can exist only in a thinking substance” (p.54-56 in our anthology Late Modern Philosophy).
He holds same is true of sensible cold (p.56), and then will extend the same sort of argument to tastes (p.57) and eventually to various of the other ‘secondary qualities’ as well (though these latter sections are not included in our anthology)

(i) Clearly and precisely reconstruct Philonous’s argument for the thesis that the heat and cold we immediately perceive are simply certain kinds of pleasure or pain, and hence can exist only in minds. What exactly does this thesis amount to, and how exactly does Philonous argue for it?

(ii) Explain how one might attempt (as Philonous does) to extend this kind of argument to show that certain other ‘secondary qualities’ (such as tastes and odors) can exist only in the mind.

(iii) Present a reasoned evaluation of Philonous’s argument regarding heat and cold. In the course of your reasoned evaluation, be sure to consider one or two objections to the argument and weigh their merits. In your view, does this argument ultimately succeed? Why or why not?

Why are Weber and Adorno/Horkheimer disenchanted and pessimistic about modernity: the changes brought about in the 20th century by capitalism, science and technology? How does the analysis by Weber differ from the analysis by Adorno/Horkheimer?

Discuss the following questions:

Question 1:

Why are Weber and Adorno/Horkheimer disenchanted and pessimistic about modernity: the changes brought about in the 20th century by capitalism, science and technology? How does the analysis by Weber differ from the analysis by Adorno/Horkheimer? Would Benjamin agree or disagree with the depiction of the modern world analyzed by Weber and Adorno/Horkheimer?

Would Thorstein Veblen agree or disagree with the depiction of the modern world analyzed by Weber and Adorno/Horkheimer?

Question 2:

The self/identify/personality of individuals is linked to their society. How do Simmel, Du Bois, and the authors of Habits of the Heart (Chapters 7 and 8) analyze this process? Would Freud agree or disagree with the analysis made by Simmel, Du Bois, and the authors of Habits of the Heart?
