Passage Content Analysis

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Passage Content Analysis. In your Content Analysis, only use evidence from assigned readings and lecture videos in your responses. Include in-text citations for the sources used, whether videos, readings, weekly notes, etc. Avoid including lengthy quotes. Instead, paraphrase and explain the relevance and significance of the selected passages or video segments in your own words as much as possible. When paraphrasing or summarizing a source, also cite it with an in-text citation. For briefer quotations, use quotation marks when you are citing words that are not your own. For your in-text citations, give the author’s name and the page number, if there is one. You do not need to have a Works Cited page because you are only using course resources. Word count:500 words maximum.

Assignment Prompt

The Afro-Eurasian regions of the world experienced great upheaval during the shift of the late Middle Ages into the early modern period. Crusades, invasions, disease, and population relocation on a mass scale created feelings of uncertainty and anxiety. But out of this also came new ways of thinking about the world, for better or for worse. People in Western Europe, being relatively isolated as they emerged from the Crusades and the Black Death, viewed and acted on their experiences much differently than groups in the East, like the Chinese or the Ottomans, who had similar experiences yet reacted in dramatically different manners. Passage Content Analysis.

Using only course readings explain the historical context in which we see these three groups (those in Western Europe, the Islamic lands, and China) reacting to the world around them as they enter the early modern period–what events altered their global perspectives in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and how? How did their experiences of past events alter or affect their actions toward their foreign neighbors?

Passage Content Analysis. You must have at least two in-text citation examples for each group from readings for a total of six. Be very specific in your choices, meaning no information dumping. Use APA referencing style.

Hypothetical Legal Problem – Camilla

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Hypothetical Legal Problem – Camilla. Camilla’s financial advice firm provides you (her client) with advice regarding the establishment of an online business supplying mail-order coffee beans to customers around Australia. Your written (and signed) contract contains the following clause:

Camilla’s firm agrees to provide you with financial advice on the terms set out in this contract, but under no circumstances shall Camilla be liable for any loss or damage caused by negligence or in any other way whatsoever. You start up your business, on the basis of the advice you receive, but it quickly fails after incurring very large debts. The advice provided by Camilla’s firm was negligently prepared. It turns out that Camilla had delegated preparing the advice to a very junior (and inexperienced) colleague. When they weren’t sure what to do, they flipped a coin to decide whether or not to advise in favour of starting up your business. You contact Camilla seeking compensation, but she refuses, pointing to the exclusion clause set out above. This takes you by surprise. You hadn’t read the contract before signing it (you were in a hurry at the time), and you didn’t know that the exclusion clause was in there. You are concerned about the legal consequences of the situation mentioned and seek advice from a Generative AI system regarding its contract law implications. The AI system responds with the following advice:

‘The main issue is whether the exclusion clause in the contract is enforceable in this situation, given that the client did not read the contract and was unaware of the clause at the time of signing. In contract law, exclusion clauses are terms in a contract that seek to limit or exclude one party’s liability for certain types of loss or damage. Hypothetical Legal Problem – Camilla. The enforceability of exclusion clauses depends on several factors. The enforceability of the exclusion clause in Camilla’s contract is uncertain in this case. Several factors, including the lack of notice to the client and the attempt to exclude liability for negligence, could weigh against its enforceability.’

Part A – Using the Generative AI produced response above, identify the elements of the IRAC method that are reflected in this response. That is, identify which sentence(s) addresses the issue, rule, application, and conclusion steps of the IRAC process.

Hypothetical Legal Problem – Camilla. Part B – The Generative AI response provided is incorrect and lacks identification of all legal issues. Additionally, it does not accurately apply the law to the facts. Your task is to present a clear overview of the legal situation. You are therefore required to write a new response that explains whether Camilla’s financial advice can firm rely on the exclusion clause, according to the law of contract? Explain why or why not. Refer to relevant legal cases to support your analysis and ensure that you fully explain the legal position you have taken. This question is worth 5 marks. Use APA referencing style.

Colonization – Economic vs Religious Views

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Colonization – Economic vs Religious Views

Part I

One of the major themes in this week’s readings and lectures is the disconnect between the religious justification for colonization and the economic incentive underlying colonization. The Spanish in particular struggled to reconcile their goal of converting the Americas to Catholicism with the conquistadors’ manic propensity for violence and exploitation.

Write a brief paragraph providing evidence of the religious and profit-driven rationale for colonization. Use at least two examples from the De las Casas readings (“The Black Legend” and the preface from Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies) to show how the Dominican friar favors the religious justification. How does he portray the indigenous Americans, and how does he portray the Europeans? Why do you think he portrays them this way? (In other words, what is his bias?). Colonization – Economic vs Religious Views.

Compare De las Casas’ account with Bernardino de Sahagun’s “The Battle for Tenochtitlan”. Use at least two pieces of evidence from the Sahagun reading. How does Sahagun portray the indigenous Americans, and how does he portray the Europeans? Why do you think he portrays them this way? Again, what is his bias? You may either discuss this in a separate paragraph or weave the information of each reading together in a single paragraph. Who do you think provides a more objective description of events, De Las Casas or Sahagun?

Part II

Colonization – Economic vs Religious Views. Olaudah Equiano and Phillips paint a vivid picture of the Atlantic Slave Trade in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In another paragraph, use at least 2 examples from The Life of Olaudah Equiano and “A Journal of a Voyage Made in the Hannibal of London 1694” to explain how the slave trade was an interconnected, globalized endeavor. How do the two readings corroborate each other? I would like you to identify demographic patterns (gender, ethnicity, age, or economic status) among those who participated in the slave trade. In your paragraph, formulate your own argument about the slave trade based on evidence from the readings and lecture. Use APA referencing style.

Historical Context Analysis

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Historical Context Analysis

Part I:

As The Execution of Charles I reading demonstrates, a primary source is the product of the historical context and biases surrounding the author. There is always a lot of subtext in a primary source, so you need to read between the lines. With this in mind, let’s do some detective work with this week’s readings!

Please write 1-2 concise paragraphs connecting “The Trial of Joan of Arc” with De Thou’s “Saint Bartholomew’s Day Massacre.” For both readings, I would like you to address the following questions:

Do the authors favor the Reformation or do they support the Catholic Church, and why do you think this is the case? Explain how these documents connect to either “The Council of Trent” or “Martin Luther’s 95 Theses.” That is, how do “The Trial of Joan of Arc” and “Saint Bartholomew’s Day Massacre” relate to either Martin Luther’s teachings or the Catholic Church’s response to the Reformation. (Hint: even if the reading favors the Catholic Church, there might still be Protestant teachings in there.) Have at least 2 in-text citations from each reading. Historical Context Analysis.

Part II:

Historical Context Analysis. Please write a few sentences explaining how Thomas Hobbes (author of Leviathan) would react to the execution of King Charles I. This does not need to be a full paragraph, but I would like you to include 2 in-text citations (at least one should be from Leviathan. The other can be from Leviathan, lecture, or The Execution of Charles I.) Use APA referencing style.

Islamic Vs. European Empires

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Islamic Vs. European Empires. Historians tend to claim that the Islamic empires (Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal) were notably tolerant. Indeed, these empires demonstrated a high level of open-mindedness toward religious and ethnic minorities when compared to their European contemporaries. How accurate was this historical narrative?

Part I

Write a short paragraph using 3 examples as evidence supporting this view. 2 pieces of evidence should be quoted or paraphrased from 2 different readings (i.e.: 1 piece of evidence per reading) and 1 piece of evidence should be from lecture. Include an in-text citation for each piece of evidence. In your paragraph, explain how your evidence proves that the Islamic empires were tolerant of religious and ethnic minorities. You may also talk about Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal treatment of women.

Part II

So… you know how modern academia is infamous for only being able to deconstruct existing narratives, and now we’re forever trapped in a cycle of seeking nuance and finding only obfuscation? Let’s do that! Write a short paragraph using 3 examples as evidence supporting an opposing viewpoint. 2 pieces of evidence should be quoted or paraphrased from 2 different readings (i.e.: 1 piece of evidence per reading) and 1 piece of evidence should be from lecture. Include an in-text citation for each piece of evidence. In your paragraph, explain how your evidence proves that the Islamic empires were only tolerant of religious and ethnic minorities when it suited their goals. Construct this paragraph as if Part I were your counterargument, and Part II is your rebuttal. (In other words, acknowledge the opposing viewpoint in this paragraph.)

Technology in China

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Technology in China.

Part I

In the chapter titled “China, Technology, and Change,” Lynda Shaffer analyzes the following questions: why did China—which invented block printing, compass, and gunpowder—not use these inventions to jump-start a scientific and industrial revolution? Why were the inventions not revolutionary at home? Shaffer argues these questions are based on the false assumption that China did not change as a result of these inventions. In reality, China changed a great deal, but Eurocentric histories often ignore this fact.

Write a brief paragraph analyzing Matteo Ricci and Père du Halde’s perspectives on technology in China. Which reading corroborates Shaffer’s argument? How are Matteo and Père’s accounts different? More importantly, why are they different? Using this week’s lectures (and, if you’re feeling ambitious, your textbook) provide historical context and speculate what changed for China or Europe in the 80-year interval between these two accounts. In your response include at least 1 in-text citation per primary source and at least 1 in-text citation referencing one or more of Dr. Wood’s lectures from this week. Technology in China.

Part II

Technology in China. Connect Will Adam’s account and the Sakoku Edict (Closing of the Country) with John Nelson’s article. Adam’s account is from 1611 and the edict was issued in 1636—only 25 years later. Write a short paragraph addressing the following: 1. summarize the two primary sources; 2. analyze why Japan’s policy toward foreigners changed so drastically in such a short period of time. In your response include at least 1 in-text citation per primary source and at least 1 in-text citation referencing one or more of Dr. Wood’s lectures from this week. Use APA referencing style.

Typical and Atypical Medications

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Typical and Atypical Medications. There are two major types of antipsychotic medication, both of which manage the positive symptoms of schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders, including hallucinations and delusions.

Typical antipsychotics are the first generation of medications, including chlorpromazine and haloperidol. Typical antipsychotics tend to be very effective, yet often come with severe side effects. Older clients are more likely to have been prescribed typical antipsychotics before the newer atypical antipsychotics became available. Atypical antipsychotics are the newer generation of medications; they tend to be better tolerated with less severe side effects (Perry, et al., 2007). Since typical antipsychotics often have severe side effects, they are used when atypical antipsychotics are not effective.

Reference: Perry, P. J. (Ed.). (2007). Psychotropic drug handbook. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.

Following scenario:

A client, Roger, scheduled an urgent session and is now describing symptoms of active psychosis to you. Roger was previously diagnosed with schizophrenia by a psychiatrist and was given medications to stabilize his brain chemistry; however, Roger is not taking the medications as prescribed because they make him feel trapped and disengaged in his own skin.

Write out a mini script showing what you might say to Roger.

Respond to the following prompts using your mini script.

Provide two potential questions you might ask to determine what Roger understands about his diagnosis and about the role of medications.

Provide two potential questions you might ask to learn about the reasons for medication nonadherence.

Explain the role of medications and counseling alongside a diagnosis of schizophrenia.

Include an empathetic reflection to Roger.
