Objective:

The purpose of this assignment is to help chemistry students use their scientific understanding and research to understand public issues that relate to chemistry.

Signature Assignment: Medicinal Use of Marijuana

Medicinal use of marijuana to treat conditions such as cancer, HIV, neurological disorders, inflammatory pain and autoimmune diseases has sparked numerous debates amongst therapeutic users and those who believe it should not be used medicinally. Marijuana is currently classified as a Class I controlled substance by the federal government. As of 2019, 33 states, the District of Columbia Guam and Puerto Rico have legalized the use of medical marijuana with each state requiring users to register but also deciding on the amounts an individual is allowed.

Write a 6-page minimum paper (excluding the title page and reference list) discussing the benefits and challenges faced when using marijuana medicinally. You may use peer-reviewed research papers, academic journals, government sources such as science.gov, textbooks and other reliable resources. However, please be sure to support your positions with at least 2 academic journals to uphold the strength of your research.

Image – Select an image from a reliable resource to include in your paper and explain how it relates to your content. The selected image must help the reader understand the topic better.,
Graph – Insert a graph (and corresponding data table) from one of your cited sources and show that you can interpret the information relevancy and importance. From the graph what generalization(s) can be made?,
Mathematical Equations/ Calculations – Use relevant mathematical formulas used in chemistry to calculate an unknown quantity in your paper such as molarity charge energy calories frequency mass slope y-intercept etc. In doing so you will demonstrate your ability to analyze quantitative data effectively.,
Be sure to thoroughly discuss both sides of the issue and present your position. Presenting both sides of the issue before you state your position demonstrates that you have critically analyzed the data and made a well-informed decision.,
Write your paper in third person even as you write your position. Use proper grammar and punctuation.,
Include in-text citations and cite sources on the last page. The APA 7^th edition guide has been provided below with examples to help you properly format your paper. Allied Health,

The Judicial Opinion

By Academic Wizard Blog

The Judicial Opinion

Case law often takes time. The actions of those in the field occur in seconds and those on the bench may take days weeks months even years analyzing and forming an opinion of that action., You should expect to spend a great deal of time reviewing often multiple times a court decision. ,As judges often have a great deal of time when writing decisions as opposed to those in the field who must often must rely instinctively and on past training to take immediate action judicial opinions are often long and drawn out., While the length and volume may pose a hurdle, generally the writing style poses a greater hurdle.

This style is often very subtle and complicated as key words phrases or points are frequently glanced over on a first reading. ,It is up to you identify the core of the controversy and accurately identify the court’s ruling., This involves summarizing and condensing in brief and concise form the nature of the issue at hand the judicial opinion and the ruling (Krislov 1972).

Weeks 3, 5 and 8, you will be required to submit a case brief of the assigned case. Each brief represents your analysis of the assigned case. Each brief is worth 16% of your overall grade in the course. Grades for these papers will reflect a combination of form, logic, flow, grammar, spelling, APA format, and demonstrated understanding of principles. These case briefs of 4-6 [double spaced] pages each, when completed, should help your develop your critical thinking/analysis skills. These must be submitted during the week assigned. Late papers will result in the automatic loss of a letter grade.

A very good reference, entitled How to Brief a Case, addressing the pertinent content of a brief but not the form or sequence to be used in this class can be found on the John Jay College website.

Utilize the Brief Template format provided. All attachments must be submitted in Word format. No other formats are accepted as all faculty may not be able open the attachment and thus not be able to grade it. If you see a numerical score of “1” for the brief, this indicates the faculty member was unable to open your attachment and you must resubmit your work in Word format for a grade. Your work is considered late and late penalties apply until your work is submitted in the proper format to faculty.

Krislov, S. (1972) Judicial process and constitutional law. Little Brown & Co.

For this assignment you must submit your brief as a Word document.

Papers will be graded based on the Criminal Justice Paper Rubric found in your course site.

Your assigned case is this week’s reading:

Social Movement

By Academic Wizard Blog

Social Movement

You need to select a social movement 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. 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 tactics. {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.

Profile Guidelines

Your profile must be well-written meaning it must utilize full sentences with proper
grammar, spelling and punctuation.
Your profile should be thorough, addressing all of the components detailed above.
Your profile should demonstrate that you actively and thoroughly researched the
social movement that you have profiled.
Any sources that you utilize must be properly cited.
Your profile should be at least 1000 words.
