Translate the premises and conclusion into the symbols of propositional logic. Construct a truth table in which you analyze the argument for validity. You can construct a truth a table by inserting a table into a Microsoft Word document (from the INSERT option in Word, choose “table.” You will then have an opportunity to choose how many rows and columns you would like your table to be.) Is your argument valid or invalid? If valid, say why it is valid; identify the rows in the truth table that make the argument valid. If the argument is invalid, identify a counterexample; point to a row in your truth table that makes the argument invalid.

The pyramids were more than a massive tomb, symbol of the immortality of the Pharaoh. They also portray and symbolize the might and power of the pharaohs, as well as Egyptian well-structured economy

In your essay’s text, underline the beginning of your cited examples to facilitate identification. Your essay does not have to comply with a standard essay format (introduction, thesis, body, conclusion), but it does have to address each point of the prompt with structural logic.

Choose one of the four models of culture and personality studies and one of the three models of social structure and personality studies. Choose any of the assigned media we viewed in the course and critically analyze it through application of the model you chose from culture and personality studies, and the model you chose from social structure and personality studies.

What coping strategies are most effective in reducing postpartum stress?

For this topic, focus on specific coping strategies for stress and test the effectiveness of these strategies for mothers who have recently given birth. Be sure to review the literature to find appropriate measures for stress. Note: A successful paper in this area would not be too complicated and would consider realistic coping strategies that can be compared for effectiveness. It may be helpful to include a control group, but a control group that does something benign rather simply a “no condition” control would likely be stronger comparison

answer the following:
1. What specific research question do you have based off of this topic?
2. What two peer-reviewed sources (within the last 10 years) support your investigation (create an evaluative annotation for these two sources)
3. What are your dependent and independent variables of interest?
4. Create a hypothesis?
5. A very preliminary plan of how you might test your hypothesis
6. What analytic procedure you will use to obtain your result.

What other countries is China investing in, where does most of China’s foreign investment come from, and what does this mean for its relationship with those countries?

/in /by

The minimum requirement for the project is to show a consequential relationship between at least two variables, or specific types/categories of data, the possibilities for which are indefinite (for example, this could include number of hospital beds to air pollution to foreign direct investments within China and/or between China and other countries, at the city-, provincial-/state- or national-levels)

What is required, however, is a thoughtful look at data you think is interesting, an explanation of what you think it tells us about the current domestic and/or international situation of China, and that of its future. Connect it to some topic discussed in class. What does the data say about economic interdependence with other countries?
