Literature Short Assignment

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Literature Short Assignment

Topic #1: (Relating to “The Quadroons”). In addition to its literary significance, the short fictional story “The Quadroons” is important because of its historically persuasive message/theme. Lydia Maria Child wrote this story to be included in an anti-slavery publication called The Liberty Bell, first published in 1842. This was nineteen years before the Civil War began in 1861, but the Abolitionist Movement (to abolish slavery) was gaining strength and momentum. Child’s purpose was to show the emotional, spiritual, and physical devastation caused by slavery, particularly to readers in the Northern states. Many people in the North (where slavery had been abolished for the most part by 1800) knew of slavery only from a distance, literally and figuratively. Child provides a fictional but also realistic example of life in a state where slavery was legal, in this case, Georgia. By the end of this story, all of the key characters are dead, similar to what we would expect to see in a Shakespearean tragedy. In this case, the tragedy is slavery itself. How effective do you think “The Quadroons” is in illustrating the author’s and other Abolitionists’ ethical/moral/legal views about slavery? A common question at the time was “how could Xarifa become a slave when neither she nor her mother, Rosalie, had ever been slaves?” The story answers this question in a way that was surprising and appalling to readers who were unfamiliar with these circumstances of slavery. Discuss your thoughts on these issues and any others that are relevant to the story.

Literature Short Assignment

Topic #2: (Relating to “The Quadroons”). As stated in the above topic, this story is undoubtedly a tragedy for all the main characters, but particularly for Rosalie and Xarifa. Lydia Maria Child’s fictional but also realistic story has elements of Shakespearean and Ancient Greek tragedy as well. For example, all the main characters are dead before the story ends. Some of these characters, particularly Edward have “fatal flaws” that contribute to their own deaths and the overall tragedy of the story. In Edward’s case, he allows his political ambitions to take precedence over his love for Rosalie, even though he regrets this decision almost immediately. In fact, he becomes so miserable in his loveless marriage to Charlotte that he becomes an alcoholic and dies when he falls off his horse, which he was riding while drunk. In addition, the central tragedy of this story is that all the characters are living under the rules and laws of an evil system: slavery. No matter how well intentioned many of these individual characters are, they are doomed by the system under which they must live. Even though Edward does everything he can to protect his daughter, Xarifa, and Charlotte continues this support and protection after Edward dies, nothing can prevent what ultimately happens to Xarifa, even her beloved George, who also tries to rescue her and ends up being shot and killed. The slave who acts as a “double agent” and betrays Xarifa is also a victim of the evil system. How does this interpretation align with the author’s purpose in revealing the hopelessness of living with the evil of slavery? Discuss your thoughts on these issues and any other aspects of the story that you find interesting.

Literature Short Assignment

Topic #3: (Relating to Lincoln’s “House Divided” Speech). Delivered at the Illinois State Capitol in 1858 after Lincoln had accepted the Illinois Republican Party’s nomination for U.S. Senator, this is one of his most famous speeches leading up to the Civil War. Although Lincoln lost this 1858 Senate election, many historians believe that this speech had a significant role in his winning the Presidential election in 1860. His position on slavery is clear, and he does not hesitate to explain his reasons with strong, supporting evidence. He is also very clear about his Democratic opponent’s position on slavery (Stephen Douglas). Lincoln draws upon a variety of moral, ethical, and religious beliefs in this speech, including the Biblical quotation from the New Testament about “a house divided.” Discuss the specific evidence that Lincoln uses to make this speech as powerful and persuasive as it is. Also discuss any other aspects of the speech that you choose. APA.

Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)

A privacy impact assessment (PIA) is a process to help you identify and minimize data privacy risk. Specifically, this type of assessment helps identify the risks to an individual when an organization collects personal information for a business purpose. There are many reasons an organization might collect personal data. For example, all businesses must collect personal information from employees to process payroll taxes. Many businesses collect personal information from customers to ship goods and services or conduct research to create new products.An organization should complete a PIA any time it intends to collect a new data element from an individual, such as name, date of birth, age, race, sex, address, biometric identifier, or any other element of personal data. Completing a PIA helps an organization think deeply about privacy issues and risks related to collecting specific types of data.

To complete a PIA, an organization should:

Clearly specify the data that it wishes to collect from a person.

Clearly document why it must collect that data.

Describe how the data will be collected, used, and stored.

Document the risks of collecting, using, and storing, the data.

Describe the measures that the organization will take to reduce the risks of collecting, using, and storing the data.

Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)

Organizational leaders will use the information provided in a PIA to determine whether the need for collecting the data outweighs the risks to the organization that are posed by collecting it. This is a business decision. Stakeholders such as legal counsel, human resources professionals, and information security and privacy professionals will often help prepare and review the PIA. An organization usually does not need to share its PIA with other entities.In this lab, you will learn about and prepare a privacy impact assessment for a fictitious organization.Lab OverviewThis lab has three parts, which should be completed in the order specified.

Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)

In the first part of the lab, you will document the personal information that a company seeks to collect.

In the second part of the lab, you will document the risks of data collection.

In the third part of the lab, you will explain why (or why not) the company should collect the personal information specified in Part 1.

Finally, if assigned by your instructor, you will complete a challenge exercise that allows you to use the skills you learned in the lab to conduct independent, unguided work – similar to what you will encounter in a real-world situation.Learning ObjectivesUpon completing this lab, you will be able to:

Identify personal data elements.

Describe risks to the collection of personal data.

Justify data collection activities. APA.

Social Movement Assignment

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Social Movement Assignment

You need to select a social movement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_movements

Links to an external site. that you would like to profile. A social movement is

“an organized activity in which people set out to encourage or discourage social change” (Macionis 2013). Examples of social movements include attempts to abolish the death penalty; the push for increased science, technology, engineering and math courses in school; the pro-life and pro-choice movements; the marriage equality movement; efforts to have contested illnesses recognized; the push for size acceptance; the right to die movement; and efforts to create environmental justice*.

Once you have selected your movement, spend some time researching the movement using the web and/or the library. Additionally, you need to contact at least one participant in the social movement and conduct an informal interview. You might also consider participating in at least one event** related to your social movement in order to collect ethnographic data based on your observations.

Social Movement Assignment

The more research that you do and the more involved that you become, the better your profile will be. Your task is to utilize the research you conduct to develop a social movement profile that addresses all of the following:

Detailed description of the social movement’s goals and {What change are they trying to make happen or stop from happening? How, specifically, are they going about this?}
Detailed description of the research that you engaged in to learn about the movement. {What did you do to research this movement? Who did you speak with? Did you participate in any way? If so, how?}
Is the movement you selected typical or atypical of the sociological understanding and description of social movements? Why or why not? Be specific.
Is this movement effective? Why or why not? What could they do to increase their effectiveness?
Which classic sociologist do you think would be most likely to join this movement today? Why?

*Please note that the list I’ve provided and the examples I’ve listed are by no means exhaustive. There are literally thousands upon thousands of social movements focused on all different types of issues and working in a myriad of ways. I encourage you to select something you genuinely feel passionate about as it will make this task both easier and more enjoyable.

Virtual events are acceptable in light of COVID-19.
