Stress and Social Support

Context: Human beings are social creatures. We are parts of families and communities. Barlow´s early studies on monkeys demonstrated that primates prefer a clothed wire mother. There is now a strong body of literature suggesting that social support is key to mental and physical health. A social support network is made up of family members, friends, colleagues, and other peers. Critical to help you through the stress of tough times, whether you’ve had a uniquely bad day or a year filled with loss or chronic illness, social support is an essential component to healthy coping. A social support network is something you can develop when you’re not under stress, providing the comfort of knowing that your friends will be there for you if you need them. Some of the most important functions of social support are a sense of belonging, increased sense of self-worth, and feelings of security.

Stress and Social Support

You will also be reading about medical miracles. Take time to do research on a case of a medical miracle. Summarize the case in 2 pages and then examine the role of social support and/or faith in this case. In one more page summarize how these factors (social and/or faith) impacted the case. APA style.

The Opposite of Hate – Sally Kohns

By AssignmentHelp Blog

The Opposite of Hate – Sally Kohns

Our next writing assignment will tie into an idea or theme drawn from either Chapter 2 (How We Hate: The Former Terrorist), Chapter 3 (Hating is Belonging: The Ex-White Supremacist), or both chapters. You will shape your writing for an academic rhetorical situation, with an academic audience. You may either A. inform an academic audience about scholarly research on your topic, OR B. research a controversy on your topic, and use scholarly research to explore multiple sides of the issue, ultimately arguing in support of your own position in this controversy. Some possible topics to get you started: • an exploration of our discussion topic from Chapter 2, Kohn’s statement that “[h]aving reasons to hate doesn’t make hate reasonable” (70).

• Fromm’s “rational, reactive” versus “character-conditioned” hate

• the Palestinian/Israeli conflict itself, or perhaps a subtopic such as examining the legality and/or ethics of Israeli settlements in occupied territories or the history behind the establishment of the state of Israel.

The Opposite of Hate – Sally Kohns

• an in-depth analysis of Sherif’s Robbers Cave study (or any other research project that Kohn describes in Chapters 2 and/or 3), its implications, and its influence on subsequent research

• connections-spaces and their role(s) in promoting healing and community

• a profile of a particular white supremacist or other extremist group, such as its history, current status, major figures, recent activities, etc.

• another topic of your choice from Chapter 2, Chapter 3, or both chapters!

Expectations – to get a passing grade on this SA, you should do the following:

• Write an informative research paper that provides an overview of some of the research, controversies, and/or issues about your chosen topic and takes an objective, neutral stance (it would be appropriate, however, to evaluate the merits of and/or critique a specific research study, if you wish). You are reporting out on a topic of interest, NOT establishing a claim or position!…OR

The Opposite of Hate – Sally Kohns

• Write an inquiry research paper that asks a central question about a topic, reviews a variety of perspectives and research with a balanced eye, and answers the question…OR

• Write an argumentative research paper that describes a controversy on which you take a position, and then examine arguments and evidence both in support of and in opposition to your position

• Write for an academic audienceLinks to an external site. that is NOT expert in your topic area. This means you’ll need to spend some time defining any terms that might be unfamiliar to your reader and summarizing or paraphrasing relevant parts of researchers’ work in your topic area to help your readers understand some of the breadth of research around your topic. 2 You will also need to use the linguistic conventions of academic writing!Links to an external site.

The Opposite of Hate – Sally Kohns

• Use AT LEAST two scholarly sources, as well as our book, Kohn’s The Opposite of Hate, which is a popular (rather than scholarly) text. You may use any materials that we’ve used for class (available in Canvas), but you MUST use at two scholarly sources from peer-reviewed journals, edited books aimed at an expert audience, or similar sources. I STRONGLY encourage you to use knowledgeable resources to help you with locating potential scholarly sources (Butte College librarians, CAS tutors, NetTutor, Ask-a-Librarian online service, etc.). You may also use popular sources, but your scholarly sources should provide at least half of the outside (not your own) material/ideas that you discuss in your SA.

• Include a Works Cited (MLA style) or References (APA style) or similar bibliographic page in the approved style system that you’re using.

• Be typed in 11- or 12-point font, 1.25-inch (standard) margins, double-spaced.

The Opposite of Hate – Sally Kohns

• Be a minimum of 1500 words as an indirect measure of depth and thoroughness (this should not include your bibliography in the count).

• Show that you have carefully read Chapter 2 and/or 3, and the other sources that you use, and that you have fully digested and considered the different viewpoints and evidence regarding the topic you’ve chosen.

• Shape your assignment into a formal research paper in MLA format (or other appropriate style, as discussed with me), and make textual decisions that use the conventions of the academic research paper genreLinks to an external site. effectively (objective tone; more formal word choice; complex patterns of grammar and sentence structure; straightforward, “writer-responsible” structure of text; MLA (or other style) formatting and citation of sources).

• Include well-chosen details, examples, and quotes from your sources to help you develop a detailed overview of your topic. Remember to cite page numbers in parenthesis and to give credit to the original source.

International Relations Summative Assessment

By AssignmentHelp Blog

International Relations Summative Assessment

Premise: The summative is designed to assess (1) how well you understand key theoretical arguments and concepts, (2) your ability to find connections across distinct perspectives, and (3) the extent to which you can situate these connections within the wider field of International Relations. The intention of the summative is to assess how well you understand the material in the module and can creatively “map” the theoretical positions found within the discipline of IR. As such, you are NOT creating a geographical map, showing spatial relations among places, but a conceptual map showing relations between key concepts found in the discipline. Your map will be supplemented with a 1,000-word essay explaining and defending your mapping of the discipline. In the second part of the assignment, you will write an essay discussing the question: Is the academic discipline of IR capable of responding to twenty-first century global challenges?

Mechanics: This assignment is broken into two parts.

International Relations Summative Assessment

PART 1: The concept map (concept map + 1,000 words)

First, you will design your own concept map that shows the relationships between theories and concepts discussed in the module. Your concept mapping can be as creative as you like, and you may either hand-draw the map or use software. Please note that we are not assessing the visual representation on artistic grounds but on how the visual map of some kind demonstrates a representation of “the world” of IR. Examples and further details will be discussed in class. But the map could look something like the London Tube map, a flow chart, or some other visual representation. Feel free to be creative, but keep in mind the purpose is to provide an image representation of the academic field of IR. (The concept map is worth 500 words, but you do not need to provide a word count for the concept map section).

Second, you will write an essay that explains the analytical and political basis for the map – i.e., why you’ve selected the specific theories/concepts, their location in the map, how they connect to the others that you’ve selected, etc. Treat this essay as you would a regular academic essay: have an opening statement that states the specific meaning of the map that you are trying to convey, and which signposts toward why or how you chose to organize the material, and then in the body of the essay, explain how the theories and concepts connect, referencing appropriate readings from the module. Think for example of a museum exhibit where there is a text that accompanies the visual representation on display. This text states what the image is/represents, its context/meaning, etc. You are in effect providing something similar to explain the content of your conceptual map. Think of the map as the ‘argument’ or ‘thesis’ and the text as the explanation. This essay must be no longer than 1,000 words.

International Relations Summative Assessment

PART 2: application of the concept map (1,500 words)

In Part 2, you will write an essay assessing the extent to which IR is equipped to deal with the challenges of the 21^st Century such as (but not limited to) global pandemics, the effects of climate change, corporate power, inequality, populism, and emerging ‘great powers’, etc. This part of the assignment takes your concept map and applies it so that we can see how your representation of the field of study can respond to 21^st Century global challenges. Based on your mapping of the discipline in Part 1, which should provide a comprehensive sense of the discipline – its main fault lines and key concepts – your essay should address the following:

Is the academic discipline capable of responding to twenty-first century global challenges?

This essay must be no longer than 1,500 words.

Treat this essay as you would a regular academic essay.

International Relations Summative Assessment

Format: Students should include the following:

a Title Page with their anonymous codes (NB: identifying names should NOT be written anywhere on summative assignments) and word count for submitted assignment (minus title page, bibliography, and appendix.
Concept map
1,000-word essay explaining and defending your mapping of IR.
1,500-word essay responding to the question: How is IR fit for purpose in the 21^st century?
Reference list of texts used in your map/essays.

NB: Please be aware of SGIA’s strict adherence to word count limit and the associated marking penalties. Examples and further instructions, especially with regards to the use of generative AI tools, will be discussed in Epiphany term. Use APA referencing style.

Decolonialism And Colonialism

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Decolonialism And Colonialism

Part II (1000 words)

This part of the formative assessment involves preparing you for your final project, which includes a traditional essay. Please choose ONE of the following essay questions:

What is the difference between postcolonial and decolonial theory? Does it matter?
Review the Barnett and Duvall (2005) piece and discuss which definition of power is ‘best’?

Be sure to include an appendix precisely documenting how generative AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) have been used in the assignment.

Responsibilities: The only real currency in academia is honest exchange of ideas. As such, plagiarism will not be tolerated. I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the university’s policies on plagiarism (posted on Blackboard) and take care to cite appropriately, not only when using direct quotes but when discussing ideas. Use page numbers when taking specific ideas. When in doubt, pursue two strategies: (1) ask or (2) be safe and cite. Use APA referencing style.
