1. In addition to inventorying your wall/purse and removing certain items, discuss at least three other steps you can take to reduce your exposure to identity theft, including why you think these steps will be especially effective in protecting your identity.
2. Do you know anyone whose life has been affected by identity theft?

i. What makes it a federalism or intergovernmental issue? (Is there a conflict between federal action and state/local/tribal action? Is the federal government overstepping its authority to act? Are the states/localities failing to comply with federal law? Are states/localities overstepping their authority to act? Is there debate over which level of government should have control and responsibility? Are there issues with implementation, such as lack of federal funding, state or local resistance to implementation, etc.?)
• Identify the current status of the issue (proposed federal/state/local legislation, law, court decision, regulation, public debate, etc.)
• Identify and discuss the political dimensions of the issue. In other words, how do Republicans and Democrats view the issue? Are there liberal/conservative dimensions as well? What arguments does each side use in the debate? Identify organizations, special interest groups, advocacy groups, etc. that are lined up for or against the issue.

Legitimate Sources for the Memo on US Federalism:
A) NO Wikipedia!
B) Peer-reviewed scholarly journals: A peer-reviewed scholarly journal refers only to those journals where the author submits her manuscript to several other scholars, experts, or academics (peers) in the field for review and comment. These reviewers must agree that the article represents properly conducted original research or writing before it can be published. What to look for:
• Scholarly journal articles often have an abstract, a descriptive summary of the article contents, before the main text of the article.
• Scholarly journals always cite their sources in the form of parenthetical references, footnotes, and bibliographies. These bibliographies are generally lengthy and cite other scholarly writings.
• Articles are written by a scholar in the field or by someone who has done research in the field. The affiliations of the authors are listed, usually at the bottom of the first page or at the end of the article—universities and research institutions.
• The language of scholarly journals is that of the discipline covered. It assumes some technical background on the part of the reader.
• The main purpose of a scholarly journal is to report on original research or experimentation in order to make such information available to the rest of the scholarly world.
Here are some examples of peer-reviewed scholarly journals in public administration and public policy:
There are many organizations that engage in research on a wide variety of topics. These organizations can be a valuable source of information. However, do your research. SOME of these organizations may have a particular ideological perspective. There is nothing wrong with this, but be aware of this perspective when using the information. Examples of research organizations or think tanks:
• Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
• Brookings Institute
• Heritage Foundation
• Urban Institute
• Progressive Policy Institute
• CATO Institute
D) Professional Associations
There are many organizations that represent specific professions or elected officials. These organizations also provide good information on a variety of policy topics. Examples of professional organizations:
Write an essay about Peking opera and Indonesian theatre
Students are expected to discuss the materials of a selected drama style that they have learned about for this class. It should be written representing diasporic views/ideas and the students should focus on two different world regions and compare two separate drama forms of their choice. Students are expected to use other trustworthy sources of their choice such as online research, movies, books, research articles etc., along with the class readings.
The final paper demands students to prove that they understand what diaspora means and to engage their thoughts and ideas with the concepts of diaspora and diasporic views and apply them to clarify a particular drama style from Asia. In doing so, they are expected to read, write and analyze, critically and recognize the influences and interactions between Asian region/s and some other part of the world while paying attention to specific features and depictions related to their chosen drama style.
Students are graded based on their understanding of the material and how they discuss the diasporic views in two chosen world regions. The paper should be formal and needs to be typed in 12-point font, Times New Roman, double-spaced, have one-inch margins, and must be at least five full pages.
I have already write a brief summary for this paper below, you can write it based on this and develop it:
For my final paper, I prepared to write about Peking opera which is a traditional drama type in China and Indonesian theatre which is from the South Asia. For introducing these two different forms of drama styles, I will compare the diverse cultures and distinguishing features between them as the same time interact them together. I will convey my thoughts with the concepts of diasporic views as well.Thank you so much!
