Narrative Essay
Write a 500-word essay describing an event that impacted your life. Be certain to review the Overview section for a complete discussion on the Narrative Essay. Your topic will be: A moment that changed my life. Remember to not list events sequentially, but rather draw the reader into specific moments that mark the narrative and build towards an analogous conclusion. (Banned topics include religious narratives of any kind and illegal activity. Remember to be very careful picking your topic, as if it is too painful to discuss, it will be too painful to write.)
Criminal behaviors
What do you consider to be the most important issues faced by biological and psychological theorists in explaining criminal behaviors? Why? How could the theories gain more credibility in the scientific community?
Topic 2: Routine Activities Theory:
There are three routine activities that are likely to produce crime and enhance the chances of victimization. Name each of those three activities and discuss their implications
Environmental analysis and company values
PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT.
Address the following:
What is the basic strategy needed to move the company in a new direction based on environmental analysis and company values?
Which KPIs effectively measure success of the strategy? Explain how/why these KPIs align with the identified strategy.
Discuss any other relevant metrics that would effectively measure the success of the strategy.
Gender Identity
For your assignment, you topic below and use the Rogerian method to help opposing sides compromise within that topic. Remember that there are no enemies in this style of writing and no one side “wins.” You have to work with the opposing side and try to make them understand your views without offending them. It isn’t what you say but how you say it that makes Rogerian style work. Use the outline provided to help you structure your Rogerian Argument. Evidence is an essential component of a good, written argument and will be necessary in this paper. In-text citations will be necessary.
In China Men by Maxine Hong Kingston, the author conveys a story of a man who became a woman. Encased within Kingston’s hybrid factual/fictional prose of the book, as a whole, is this parable about gender and identity. It is a prose piece that invites consideration of how gender identity is formed and why it is such a powerful construct. After reading Kingston’s book, Simone de Beauvoir remarked that “one is not born a woman; one becomes a woman”. Based on Beauvoir’s assertion, one’s gender identity is more than biological. Write a Rogerian argument in which you explore both sides of the argument on whether gender is more than a biological construct to find common ground.
Your essay should show mastery in the following topics:
1. Rogerian tone
Artificial neural networks
1. Go to Google Scholar (scholar.google.com). Conduct a search to find two papers written in the last five years that compare and contrast multiple machine-learning methods for a given problem domain. Observe com- monalities and differences among their findings and prepare a report to summarize your understanding.
2. What is an artificial neural network and for what types of problems can it be used?
3. Compare artificial and biological neural networks. What aspects of biological networks are not mimicked by arti- ficial ones? What aspects are similar?
4. What are the most common ANN architectures? For what types of problems can they be used?
5. ANN can be used for both supervised and unsupervised learning. Explain how they learn in a supervised

Write a short reaction paper, approximately 2-3 double-spaced pages, in which you relate the talk to at least 3 separate course concepts. These can be terms that relate directly to what’s in the video, or terms that come up as you reflect further
Grading criteria
Your answer needs to explain both of the following:
How does the speaker’s ideas or information help us better understand different types of personal variables—biological, cognitive, and/or social/emotional—that can shape human behavior?
How does the speaker’s ideas or information help us better understand how development is shaped by both immediate variables (i.e., personal factors, microsystem, mesosystem) and wider variables (i.e., exosystem, macrosystem, historical context)?
Did you relate the video or your additional thoughts to at least 3 separate course concepts? Remember that when you cite the concept, you will need to include a page number (or section number, if reading the book in Revel) in parentheses.

Characteristics of Living Things
Characteristics of Living Things
Defining life can be very difficult. Scientists don’t all agree on a standard list of characteristics that define all life, but most generally agree on a common set of properties. Many of these properties are not limited to living things; some nonliving things may share a few of these characteristics as well. For instance, viruses don’t have the necessary machinery to reproduce themselves; they must use cellular hosts to make more viral copies. Because they cannot reproduce, they are not considered living.
Case Assignment
Your Assignment:
Eating disorders in teenagers
Imagine a teen girl posting a selfie on social media. She likes the picture because she is smiling in it and the sun is shining on her nicely. Later that day, she reads the comments, which are mostly positive, but one person has posted a negative comment about her being “fat.” How might that affect an adolescent who is already feeling vulnerable?
Similar scenes of “body shaming” play out in the lives of adolescents trying to navigate cultural understandings of beauty, pressure from peers to fit in, and constant images of “perfect bodies” shown on TV and in movies. Social media, because it is so ubiquitous, can be particularly hurtful. These pressures can combine with biological and psychological factors to promote an adolescent’s negative body image, purging and fasting behavior, or even an eating disorder.
For this Assignment, you examine the occurrence of eating disorders and consider approaches to address them in adolescents.
To Prepare:
Bloodchild Annotation
The first time you read the short stories for this class, you will be doing what is considered passive reading—reading the story with an open mind. Perhaps you will flag things that stood out to you, or that raised questions. You may jot down unfamiliar words to look up later. Mainly, though, you read to locate main ideas that help you follow the story.
One way a reader stays connected to the main idea of the story is through keywords. Authors will purposefully use and repeat keywords throughout their writing to emphasize an important idea or concept. Repetition of a keyword may also occur through use of synonyms, such as using “sightless” or “loss of vision” as synonymous with “blind.”
Annotating keywords can help us understand the literary elements of a short story, such as plot, character, setting, diction, or theme. You were introduced to these literary terms in Week 1.
For this homework assignment, you will reread and annotate the story you chose for Week 2, Discussion 1. You will locate keywords that signal the literary elements of the short story. You should read closely and carefully, noting words or synonyms that repeatedly draw your attention to the literary elements of theme, plot, character, and setting. In a printed book, you may underline or highlight them. You may also write notes to yourself in the margins. In a PDF, you may be using the markup tools or comment features.
Necrotic and Apoptotic Cell Death Pathways
Apoptosis is a very common mechanism of cell death that contributes to normal cell turnover, and there are many examples of the utility of apoptotic cell death. Apoptosis is also known as programmed cell death because the steps follow an orderly sequence (a death program), and tissue disruption, organ dysfunction, and inflammation are minimized.
Why is it important for cell death programs to exist? How do they contribute to normal physiology and the prevention of disease? What are the characteristics of Necrotic and Apoptotic Cell Death Pathways?

“Autobiographical.
This is a not a first-person narrative, personal commentary, or book review. There is nothing “autobiographical” in nature, also known as an “author’s bio,” to be explored within this essay assignment. If your readers are interested in reading about Maxine Hong Kingston biography, there is plenty of information out there; this is not your focus.
