The Sources: 1. Bierman, Jr., Harold. "Great Crash of 1929." Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia. 2010. Grolier Online. 21 Feb. 2010 . * This database source gives a brief overview of the Great Crash of 1929, its causes, its effects and the various statistics and figures associated with the Great Crash. This is a secondary source and is reliable as it is written by a professor of Business Administration at Cornell University who has cited credible sources. The source has a non-partisan view point as it details more facts than individual perspective; however any biases that existed would eventually be counterbalanced by other sources.

...A complete guide to writing an effective press release There are some clear rules when it comes to writing press releases — covering everything from news angles to structure. Debbie Leven of The PR Coach offers a complete guide to writing press releases that get results Before you write and issue a press release, ask “Is there news value in this story? And, “Does it warrant a release?” Too often organisations feel obliged to write press releases using material that is not newsworthy. Fact: if the journalist does not consider it newsworthy, it won’t get coverage. Your aim is to get coverage and raise awareness among your target audiences. There are key elements that a journalist looks for in a story — and the human interest angle is key. Do you have a human interest angle, and can you show that your news has an impact on people? Once you have decided that you have a story to tell, you need to draft your release abiding by very clear rules. These rules are designed to make it as easy as possible for journalists to use your material. What should go into a press release? Answer the following questions about your news: • Who? Who are the key players — your company, anyone else involved with the product? Who does your news affect/who does it benefit? • What? What is new? • Why? Why is this important news — what does it provide that is different? • Where? Where is this happening/is there a geographical angle/is the location of business relevant? • When? What is the timing...

The course content is organized into two sections: a) theories, ideologies and definitions of families and b) applications of family theories in practice, family programs, and policies. This course will examine “what is theorizing in family studies?” Family theories are explanatory frameworks for different ways of understanding families. Theorizing about families involves conceptualizing the lived experiences of people in relation to their own families as well as developing explanations of the social role of families in society, tracking demographic changes over time, and identifying ideologies and social forces that influence and are influenced by family life. Some theories look at how individuals develop over the life span in the context of families; others define the forms and functions of families as a social unit in society. Some look at “the family” as a unit and focus in on the internal dynamics of relationships between family members, while others look at “the family” as a subsystem or institution in the larger scope of...

...section Vi essay forms Many people use the term “essay” to mean any paper written for a class. In actuality, there are many different types of essays, each of which has a unique purpose, form, and style. We call these different types of essays “modes of discourse,” and they include expository, persuasive, and comparecontrast essays to name just a few. This section of the Guide has a dual purpose. First, various types of essays are described and suggestions are included about how to approach each particular type of writing. Second, the sample essays are good tools for you to see how these different essays look in their final form. These are not templates (no essay can be a carbon copy of another even in form), but they will give you a good idea of what a final piece of writing for each mode of discourse looks like. It would be advantageous to critically analyze the form and content of each sample against the instruction for how to write each type of essay. chapter 21 expository essays Jennifer propp An expository essay explains something using facts rather than opinions. The purpose of this type of essay is to inform an audience about a subject. It is not intended to persuade or present an argument of any kind. Writing this type of essay is a good way to learn about all the different perspectives on a topic. Many students use the expository essay to explore a variety of topics, and do so in a wide range of formats, including “process” and “definition”...
