Describe resorts features as if you were advertising resort

Tourist Resort Ads Compare Tahiti to Hawaii

You will need to visit Pacific island web sites. Use the spreadsheet Hawaii_Tahiti.xlsx or the PDF file Hawaii_Tahiti.pdf list to view resort web sites for Hawaii and Tahiti.

Read about each resort. Then, pick one Hawaii resort and one Tahiti resort and describe their features (about 150-200 words each) as if you were advertising the resort to someone interested in visiting there. You may write about any feature you wish, but the best summaries include a general description, accommodations, activities, and possibly the dining. You may describe features displayed in the countless pictures of each resort. Focus on a theme. If you are interested in discussing guest rooms, describe what you see in pictures of guest rooms. If you are interested in dining, read about the dining options and comment about some meals that are mentioned.

You may express your opinions about what you would be most interested in experiencing at each resort. On the other hand, if you are honestly not interested in tropical resorts, you may mention that as well. Consider that these places are luxurious and pamper their guests.

The overall goal of the assignment is to notice a strikingly similar culture, lifestyle, and environment found in both Hawaii and Tahiti. So, a good summary could compare the Hawaiian resort to the Tahitian resort of your choosing. What features are similar in both resorts? You may also mention anything that is different between them. The Polynesian culture encompasses the vast expanse of the Pacific islands, even though the islands are so far away from each other. So, comment on any similar patterns you may notice between Hawaii and Tahiti.

Describe the challenges in identifying mental disorders

Assignment : Challenges in Identifying Mental Disorders

Most mental disorders lie on a continuum with “normal” behavior at one end. For example, nearly everyone has a fear of something, but it does not rise to the level of a phobia. A behavior may seem abnormal in one context but completely normal in another context. These two aspects show why it can be challenging to properly identify mental disorders.

Using your textbook and the Argosy University online library resources, research the principles and methods of identifying mental disorders. Note particularly the diversity of views and the challenges of identification. Based on your research, write a reflective essay. Use the following question to direct your thoughts and organize your essay:

Why is determining abnormal behavior or a mental disorder so difficult?

To develop your essay, keep in mind issues such as the role of social norms in defining the abnormal, the multiplicity of indicators of what is abnormal, the stigma suffered by those identified as abnormal, and finally the need for objectivity in dealing with the concept.

Describe musical experiences in technical language of music

Read the given Lecture Notes and complete the assignment.

Type of work:Essay (Writing)

Number of pages:10 pages (1100 words)

Topic:Music Analysis

Work on the piece “Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker”.

Topic:

In the first lecture, discussed the following quote by John Blacking:

Even if a person describes musical experiences in the technical language of music, he is in fact describing emotional experiences which he has learned to associate with particular musical sounds.

In the sixth lecture, we approached two pieces of music by first listening to them and describing their musical features and our emotional response to them. We then discussed the context of these two pieces and how this affected and changed our reaction to these pieces.

Assignment is to choose one musical composition that is not on the course listening list and to approach your investigation of this piece. The composition must come from a Western music tradition and can be in any genre (Classical , 1 folk, rock, jazz, pop, etc. ).

In the first part of this assignment describe what you hear using the technical language that you have learned. How do the technical features of your chosen piece become an emotional experience for you as a listener? Then research the composition and discover whatever you can about the context in which the piece was composed.

What compositional techniques were used to create the piece of music and what might the composer have wanted to communicate?

How does the context in which the piece was written give meaning to the music and affect or change your reaction to that piece of music? Due to the nature of this assignment, feel free to write your essay using the first person narrative form.

Range: 1100 to 1200 words.

As a starting point, familiarize yourself with the composition by listening to it. Introduce the piece that you have selected using the technical language and provide your initial reaction to it; Then provide an explanation of how your knowledge of the historical and cultural context affects your reaction to the composition.

The paper must be in proper essay format. Use any of the standard styles of citation. An essay of this length must include a bibliography of at least four secondary sources to demonstrate that your argument is supported by balanced research.

Using internet resources: when researching topic must use only those internet resources that are of reliable quality (such as scholarly journals found on-line or other resources connected with universities or other reputable institutions). While you may decide to use Wikipedia as a place to start your search, it is not acceptable to use as the basis of your research because it is known to be wrought with inaccuracies and incorrect information. Peer reviewed scholarly sources have editorial boards that ensure all information is correct, so you must consult such resources. Some scholarly musicological resources:

• Oxford Music Online: http://search.library.utoronto.ca/details?7911878&uuid=bb750053- 753b-4791-9c03-190a730ec5c8 (access through the UTSC library: you will need to provide your library card number or UTOR login if you are accessing the dictionary from home). The bibliography at the end of each article will provide you with further resources.

•Many scholarly journals may be found on-line through the UTSC library. A good way to begin is by searching the JSTOR database: http://search.library.utoronto.ca/details?7911781&uuid=ef717e76-0238-4d86-8d6a- 8de08cb9f9dc. You may then type in the name of the journal or perform a subject search – try “music,” “musicology,” “opera” or any other term that relates to your topic.

Discuss about sociological perspectives like functionalism

Required Research Paper-

The Sociology 201 writing assignment will give you the opportunity to place into practice the concepts and techniques discussed in the classroom lectures. The assignment is designed to, as much as possible, emulate tasks required of professional sociologists. In the writing assignment, you will be asked to discuss social issues from a sociological perspective. It is anticipated that through this assignment you will gain experience in understanding sociology from a broad perspective.

Instructions for Short Writing Assignments

Directions

Select a social problem/issue from the reading you are interested in writing about. The topic you select can address either a general (e.g., “poverty”) or specific (e.g., “homelessness among women”) topic.
Find 2-4 articles from a social science journal. These articles should be ones not included in the course materials. Your paper should be written in APA format.

Write a brief review of each of the four articles. For the articles in social science journals you need only read the abstract, introduction, and conclusions/discussion.

Select one of the sociological perspectives: functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic interactionism. Interpret the social problem/issue from this perspective. Your interpretation should reflect what you have learned from your readings so far in the class. Be specific in your interpretation about what you learned from each reading. Also, be specific about which sociological perspective you are using in your paper (e.g., “I will use the Structure-Functional perspective to explain….”).

Suggest a social policy to mitigate the negative consequences of the social problem.

You do not need to attach copies of your four articles to your papers. Be certain, however, to provide full citations to them.

The paper should be 4-5 pages in length (see:Writing Instructions (Links to an external site.)).

Students are not allowed to share work with one another. Each paper should be unique.

Writing Instructions

For the Writing Assignment, you are asked to select a social issue you would like to know more about. You may choose any social issue we have discussed so far this semester.

You are then asked to search for scholarly (i.e., peer reviewed, empirically based) articles to investigate different sociological issues, such as poverty, deviance, religion, family, education, etc. Please keep in mind that newspapers, Newsweek style magazines, or informational web pages such as Web MD or About.com are not considered scholarly. If you are unsure if an article is scholarly, please review the information found on the following web page, and/or ask me:

http://guides.library.cornell.edu/c.php?g=31867&p=201759 (Links to an external site.)

Use your critical thinking skills to examine the effectiveness of the information presented in the research. It is up to you to compare the different findings in the literature. In other words, you want to make sure you are comparing 2 to 4 research articles.

In research articles, the authors will generally talk about the theory or theories in which their studies are based. For the information in the articles you find, pay attention to what the authors are saying about the theories which provide the backdrop for the topic.

The final product should be a high quality, 4 to 5 pages minimum, not including the title, or reference pages. The paper must be typed, doubled-spaced (Times New Roman, 12-point font, one inch margins), and properly documented with section headings, in text citations, and references, using the APA style. The paper will be evaluated on organization, critical thinking, clarity of presentation, and the use of APA style.
