Step 2: Perform the appropriate analysis and evaluation. -To get a good mark on this assignment, Ashley and Jessica must critically evaluate secondary research. To do this they must (1) evaluate resources, (2) develop effective search strategies, and (3) identify proprietary resources. -To do well on their assignment, the students must do the following: 1. They need to be critical of all the resources and information they use. In particular, they need to minimize their use of the Web, and instead use databases available through their university to gather information. For example, they could access the Wall-Street Journal available online through most universities to show a need for their product (people feeling increasingly unsafe, rising crime against older people, aging population, etc.). They could also use ProQuest ABI Inform Global to find relevant academic and practitioner business articles. 2. They must cite all sources properly. If they don’t, they might accidentally commit plagiarism, and at minimum, fail this assignment. 3. Make good use of their time and find relevant information by developing search strategies. They can do this by using more than one search field at a time, using the “AND” function among others, and by using truncation and proximity searching. 4. They might...

...Keishla Garcia Morales Prof. Ramos Ingl3202-021 1 March 2013 Does actions equal to consequences? Basically most of the people think that there is always a consequence for every action. But, is that really true? Do we always have a consequence for our actions? In “The Story of the Bad Little Boy” and “The Story of the Good Little Boy” by Mark Twain, it shows us the different consequences for several actions made by two boys, a bad one and a good one. In “The Story of the Bad Little Boy” during Jim’s school day, he took a pocket knife from his teacher. Knowing he may get in trouble, Jim placed the pocket knife in the hat one of the most innocent boy’s in his school. Twain spoke about how when boys who steal and try to blame it on someone else, the blame and consequences usually end up on the bad boy. But ironically, Jim not only did not get caught with stealing or replacing the pocket knife, but watched the poor innocent boy get shunned. For Jim, his plan seemed to work out perfectly and did not learn his lesson about stealing and blaming things on others like a typical bad boy would. When Jim became older, he abused his sister without an ounce of remorse. This was because unlike typical sisters that get bashed in the head, Jim’s sister did not get mad or retaliate at him. She quietly forgave and carried on with her life. This is ironic because people do not usually get hit in the head and walk away with no anger or frustration with the person that struck them. Jim could...

...My opinion of the matter is that girls and boys should be able to to play on the same team. I'm a little biased, as I have played soccer for 11 years now, about 3-4 of those years, girls have been on the same field as us boys. I personally don't think that i'd matter whether or not girls and boys played sports together, as, depending on the skill level the team should be at, each person can have their benefits towards the team, whether they are a girl or boy. Also, I don't know why they can't be on the same team. Everyone has their own interests. A lot of boys think that girls can't play football as it is a "sport for men", and some boys will make fun of others for being in gymnastics, cheer, etc. My last reason everyone likes certain things, and so they should be able to play whatever sport they want, whether or not it is "only for girls" or "only for boys"....

...In ESPN’S 30 for 30 film, “Bad Boys” the National Basketball Association (NBA) Detroit’s Pistons, star athletes reveal themes of aggression, specifically reactive- aggression throughout the film when facing opponents on the basketball court. The team had a one desire and that was to win. Not one member of the “Bad Boys” liked to loose and they were willing to take all measures to get to the top of the ladder. Their motivation to win and beat rivals such as the Boston Celtics or the Los Angeles Lakers was not just for the “Bad Boys” to prove themselves as athletes but also to put Detroit back on the radar for good things not just riots and hunger in their city. The aggression and naming of the “Bad Boys” all started when the team figured out that they needed to mentally out play their top competitors such as the Boston Celtics. It was not that the Pistons were not a good team, with members such as Isaiah Thomson and Bill Lambier, they just were not physically strong enough and mentally tuff enough to compete with the others when they first started in 1989. Constantly loosing to their rivals and seeing Larry Bird and Magic Johnson winning all of the national titles brought the Pistons team and staff closer than ever and created atmosphere of wanting to win. This...

...done for the boy? Should he be sent to foster care or not? Pony boy lives in a horrible, dangerous environment with his two brothers. His neighborhood consists of enemies of the greasers, the group Pony boy is in. Foster care, on the other hand, displays a more distinct, healthier environment for him, so he should be put into foster care. For his own safety, ability to make friends, and getting rid of bad habits, he should be put into a foster home. The first reason he should go to foster care is that foster care has a much safer neighborhood than his current surroundings. In a foster home, pedestrians are less probable to inflict damage upon him. He also is not as probable to hurt himself in foster care than he is with his brothers. Additionally, people in a foster neighborhood are not as likely to bully or be mean to him. In his present neighborhood, people are more likely to be hateful to him. In the book, it states, "'Need a haircut, greaser.'" The medium sized blond pulled a knife out of his back pocket and flipped the blade open." This evidence explains that other people could harm him in his neighborhood. According to his relatives, others can still be rancorous to him in a foster...

...starts with a boy and his father, they are going to a camping trip to try and make a relationship, and the relationship is the main theme in this short story, the boy who is the protagonist has a desire to be together with his father and he would do anything just to get his blessing. The relationship between the boy and the father is almost like it was nothing, (non existing) and they have not seen each other for a while. The writer already shows us from the beginning that the father is addresed as the man, and when the writer does that, it means that it signifies a lack of love between the father and the boy because the word ''man'' which is used alot in the story, does not mean anything about a father and a son relationship. The boy is 8 years old, and is a very clever boy. He wants to give his father a second chance to make up for the bad things he have done. Even though his relationship with his father is really bad, he still tells his mother to stop saying bad things about him. The father drinks in the essence of dadness which is used to show how much the little boy have missed his dad, and having him around, he ( the boy ) constantly tries to reach his dad trying to impress so he can notice him. The short story has used some symbolics in it, and they are very important for the text, because it they were not in here, the text would not make any sense. There are 2 symbols just in the start of the text, Compass and torch. These two symbols are both good for helping...

...The first significant quotation to me is, when the man is studying the country to the south. He walks out onto the road and wonders how long it would take to get somewhere warm before it was too late, even though he has no clue what time of the year it is. “He thought it was October but he wasn’t sure. He hadn’t kept a calendar for years”(4). I feel like this is a good quotes to be in the novel because it shows loss of time. To them, time doesn't really matter anymore because of how many years have passed and the fact that they don’t know when or if this will ever end. This I feel can relate to me when i’ve been counting down something for so long it just doesn’t seem to matter any more and slips my mind because I feel like it will never come. “When he woke in the woods in the dark and the cold of the night he'd reach out to touch the child sleeping beside him”(3). This is a major example of how the man cares for the boy. Every second he can, he...

...Bad Boys Ann Arnett Ferguson spent 3 years gathering research on African American youth in the school and how Adults, society, and the educational system views them. The superiors of these kids have a wrongfully prejudice conceptualization of them, more specifically the boys. Observations and stories of individual students help Ferguson make connections and find the underlying source of these kids’ preconceived notions to Adults and more importantly themselves. “In the course of course of my study it became clear that school labeling practices and the exercise of rules operated as part of a hidden curriculum to marginalize and isolate black male youth in disciplinary spaces and brand them as criminally inclined” Ann Arnett Ferguson, Bad Boys: Public Schools in the Making of Black Masculinity (University of Michigan, 2000) p2. Adultification does not have a simple definition. Ferguson theorized this idea while observing different kids during her case study. The term adultification describes the developmental process of youth and how outlying factors such as social and communal values are absorbed by kids. There is a prejudice that these observed teacher hold of these kids. These teachers use how the media portrays African American males to justify their views about all African American kids. This adultification is a distraction from the fact that they are kids, not criminals. “Adultification is visible in the way African American elementary school pupils are talked about by...

...There are more than 1,000 single sex classes in the United States. Single Sex classrooms are a bad thing because they cause boys and girls to not to be able to work as good together. Not being able to work together makes a lot of people not get jobs and have to worry about financial needs. Although I understand that single sex classes can provide the right learning environment, I still believe single sex classes are not good because they cause poor social skills with the opposite sex. Same sex classrooms are not beneficial, therefore American schools should not create same sex classrooms because they promote poor social skills, cause gender stereotypes, and high tutions. Having same sex classes protes poor social skills with the opposite...

...the specs the boys would not have the fire. But besides the fact that the specs mean fire is that his specs represent all the good and evil he sees in the boys. Another thing piggy’s specs represent is the good side and bad side of technology; but one of the most important things they represent is Jack and Ralph. Jack and Ralph are the two main characters of the story and the main part of the conflict. Piggy’s specs are symbolism of these two boys in many ways. One way is because jack represents the evil side of the specs and Ralph represents the good side of the specs. Another example of symbolism is that good and evil are very hard to tell apart just like the lenses of piggy’s specs, and goes the same with Jack and Ralph. The first one I am going to talk about is the specs representing Jack the evil side, and Ralph the good side. This is clear in the book because when Jack slaps piggy’s specs off his face and breaks them the good side of the lenses in broken and all that’s is left is the evil lens. It then shows up On The Whole Entire Island because Jack or the evil side begins to take over the island while Ralph’s side is broken down just like the good side of the glasses. The next one I am going to talk about is that Jack and Ralph are very hard to tell apart at first just like the good and evil lenses. In Piggy’s specs you don’t know which side of his specs is the good side and which is the bad side. This is just like at the beginning when the boys are electing their...
