$25.00Research/Interview on Cultural Family Practice
The paper should be at least 6 pages in length.
This assignment is divided into three parts.
In Part A, you will be collecting materials pertaining to the culture and ethnicity of the family you are interviewing.
In Part B, you will visit a family to collect data about parenting practices and interview the family about their culture and ethnic background.
In Part C you will write a paper which will make use of the information collected in Parts A and B. You will also include reflection about the experiences you had while doing the project and please be sure to include information from your research and if that information lined up with what the family said. The following few paragraphs give you detailed information about each part of the project. The subsequent paragraphs give you information about how to write the paper.
Part A
Read at least five books and five journal articles on child development practices/ parenting practices in a culture of your choice (different from your own). Your selection of research must include the following:
- Select two pieces of children’s literature on that culture and analyze what you learned about families, children, values and cultural practices from the reading of the books. Be prepared to share the books with the class for discussion and reflection.
- The role of family members and community in the caring for and educating of young children in that particular culture.
- How children and the family are perceived in that culture.
Part B
- Visit the family to gather the following information. You may need to use subsequent phone calls to clarify doubts or questions.
- Observe daily routines and listen to the stories about daily schedules and activities.
- Record ideas, information on family composition and structure, educational background, occupations, economic conditions, dynamics, etc.
- Make notes about the type of family, any special needs, and characteristics of the family.

Part C
When finished with the interview process, examine the influence of the family on the child’s or children’s development, and how the family has benefited from support from the school. In the evaluation of the family and school’s support mechanisms, state any additional recommendations for making the home-school relationship more successful. Write a 1500 to 2000 word report of this assignment and submit it as a word document via the blackboard email. Use the following headings for your paper:
- Description of the culture’s parenting practices ()
- What are the values this culture holds for parenting that you have learned from your research (use citations)?
- What children’s books did you find about this culture and how do they represent these values?

Theories of Intelligence: An Introduction
$20.00Theories of Intelligence: An Introduction
Gardner (1983) has suggested there are seven different types of intelligence:
- Logical mathematical.
- Linguistic.
- Musical.
- Spatial.
- Bodily kinesthetic.
- Interpersonal.
- Intrapersonal.
Think about how would you test these dimensions of intelligence? For this assignment, assume you are going to test intelligence of people of two differing cultures.
- Choose three of the above dimensions of intelligence to measure. Describe each type of intelligence.
- Describe the two cultures you have chosen. What type of intelligence does each culture favor? What does it mean to be intelligent in each culture? What is the history of each culture? What is the environment like? Provide approximately half a page of description for each culture.

Fears and Stigma of Creating a Safe Cultural Place
$17.50Fears and Stigma of Creating a Safe Cultural Place: A Report on Good Will Hunting
Length: 1200 – 1500 words
Value: 40%
Introduction
The creation of safe spaces requires cultural self-awareness, cultural intelligence and cultural capability. So this final assignment draws together all the learning from the unit in a report about safe spaces. They are fundamental to operating effectively in the workplace, community and the university. Yet many spaces are not that safe for the people who use them. How is it possible to create safe spaces for people?
Using an excerpt from a film or video of people interacting within a space, analyse the various aspects of the scenario including the physical location and interactions between actors to highlight your understanding of safe spaces. Demonstrate your growing cultural capabilities by writing a report that analyses safe or unsafe spaces as depicted in your chosen clip. You need to write an academic report using formal language to:
- analyse the chosen filmed scenario for safe or unsafe spaces
- demonstrate your understanding of the characteristics of culturally safe or unsafe spaces by discussing those identified in the film in relation to the research literature,
- provide recommendations/conclusions for creating or sustaining culturally safe spaces based on the scenario.
1. Choose a scenario Choose a scene (about 5-10 minutes in length) from a TV program, video or movie that focuses on a conflict situation in a community, university/school or workplace. Some suggestions of where you may find films/segments are provided below: Community Workplace University/School Offspring The Slap Angry Boys Big Bang Theory The Office Madmen All Saints Paper Giants Dead Poets Society Good Will Hunting Ja’mie The Community Examples you could choose from are also in the Web-site Learning Materials in ‘Creating Safe Spaces’ and ‘Preparation’.CUC 107 Cultural Intelligence and Capabilities Assessment 4 2 To source extracts you can try: ABC iview; YouTube; download from iTunes; Vimeo or hire from video shop/ local library.
1. Reading Along with the readings we have provided during the semester, you will need to conduct your own research. This means using:
- Library databases for journal articles and books using Summon Beta
- Appropriate readings included in this unit
- Google Scholar
2. Cultural safety report guidelines
Please note – many report formats require that a synopsis or executive summary of the report be included after the table of contents. This is not required in this task
Use the headings following to label each section of your report. These should also be numbered. Organise your report under the following sections and use the numbered headings as below for each section in the body of your report. Suggestions about what you should include under each heading are provided below the heading. Title of Report This should be on a separate page and include the title, your name and the date Table of Contents This should be on a separate page – remember page numbers
1. Introduction (approx. 150 words) This includes: 1.1 Background (An orientation to the topic of cultural safety and safe spaces)
1.2 Scope (Explain what the report will focus on including what video, what particular scenes if the example depicts a safe or unsafe space).
1.3 Aim (Tell the reader what the report aims to do – i.e provide a summary and description and analysis of an example of a safe or unsafe space and recommend improvements to improve the safety of the space where appropriate).
2. Summary (approx. 150 words) Summarise your chosen TV or Video excerpt. This is where you briefly explain the story line and key events related to the context of the safe or unsafe situation of this specific segment of a film in your own words.
3. Summary of literature (approx. 300 words and at least four sources) This is where you demonstrate your understanding of the key concepts covered in the unit by using relevant literature. So you should include definitions of safe spaces, cultural intelligence and capabilities and cultural selfawareness and show how these are all linked to increasing our ability to create safe spaces.CUC 107 Cultural Intelligence and Capabilities Assessment 4 3
4. Observations/analysis of Video (approx. 200 words) In this section you should identify the behaviours and scenarios in the video that are evidence of the cultural safety issues displayed in the video. These observations should confirm your statement in the introduction about whether the space is safe or unsafe. Some of the things to look for and describe are: Physical factors (size and layout of space, position of people in the space); Communication factors (Body language, Voice, Words); signs of inclusion or exclusion, displays of or lack of cultural intelligence. You could use the following table as guide and as a way of briefly describing in key words what you observed. Alternatively you might prefer to describe this in couple of paragraphs.
5. Discussion (approx. 350 words) Use key elements within the film excerpt and the theory you have outlined in the literature review section to discuss your observations of the video and to support your view about whether each scene is a safe or unsafe space. For example you might write: In Scene 1, Jane displayed a high level of cultural intelligence by adjusting her behaviour as soon as she became aware that her patient had never been in a hospital before. This had an instant effect on the patient who visibly relaxed and began to talk. This is an excellent example of what Brislin et al (2006) define as cultural intelligence or “the ability to adjust to another culture”.
6. Recommendations (approx. 200 words supported by academic sources.) Your recommendations (for how the scenario film clip you describe should be changed to make the space safer) should be based on what you discussed in the analysis. So it will be a summary of the things that need to change to enable a safer space in the scenario depicted and requires references in text for your ideas.
7. Conclusion (approx. 150 words) This is where you sum briefly everything covered in your report. So it would include: what the film clip covered, what it was about, what it showed re safe spaces, what needed to be changed if anything. (Don’t introduce new material or references into this section). References (last section of report on separate page and not numbered)
For this report we expect you to use readings provided and utilised in your previous assignment as well as additional references you might source that relate to the particular context of the scenario depicted in your film. For example, if your video depicts bullying at school you may find articles on school bullying. This will be helpful for your discussion and recommendations. You should use the APA 6th referencing style in text and for the reference list at the end.
NB Check how to reference correctly for multimedia. The references, title and content pages are not counted in your final word count. CUC 107 Cultural Intelligence and Capabilities Assessment

$12.50Importance of recognizing the signs of stalking Criminal definition of stalking for your jurisdiction (cite a relevant stalking statute)
When you were attending AIU, you thought of yourself being an undercover narcotics officer or working for a bank as a fraud investigator, but you were initially exposed to the role of a victims’ witness assistant during the Criminal Careers course at AIU. Then, your best friend became a victim of a crime of violence after being stalked for several months, and that incident changed your life. As you provided comfort and support to your friend during the judicial process, you were exposed first-hand to the role played by the victims’ witness assistant during the criminal judicial process. The role of the victims’ witness assistant changed you, and you decided then that you wanted to pursue a career as a victims’ rights advocate somewhere. It has been a year since you were able to start your career in the victims’ rights advocate position, and every day, you feel that you are making a difference in society and your jurisdiction.
The prosecutor for whom you have been working as a victims’ witness assistant has had several calls from victims of stalking. Some cases seem more serious than other cases; however, one case that no one in the office thought was serious resulted in the victim’s death. Everyone thought the couple was just going through a difficult breakup. This case had a tremendous impact on the entire office—especially you.
To help make sure that the office does not minimize a potentially dangerous situation again, the prosecutor has asked you to put together an intake, evaluation, and assessment instrument to be used in taking information on stalking situations. Be sure to check stalking statutes, and cite the elements of the crime of stalking in your documents. Complete the following:
- Create a topic paper (2–3 pages) in APA format discussing the following:
- Importance of recognizing the signs of stalking
- Criminal definition of stalking for your jurisdiction (cite a relevant stalking statute)
- Key facts that you felt all office personnel should know about stalking, such as the remedies designed to help a stalking victim
- Create an intake form in addition to the topic paper that can be used to get important information from alleged victims of stalking.
- The form should require information about the nature and frequency of stalking and should determine if the elements of the crime of stalking are present.
- The form should also ask questions that will elicit answers that help indicate what type of stalking situation exists, asking such things such as is the victim is acquainted with the suspect, and if so, how; if not, how does the victim think the suspect knows or has encountered the victim? It should ask for the frequency of the annoyance and if the victim is in fear and why. Most stalking statutes require a pattern of harassment or annoyance that would make a reasonable person afraid or seriously annoyed; the form should ask something that would capture that information. The form should indicate whether or not there is a pending divorce or other legal matters between the 2 parties.
- Create an evaluation and assessment form in addition to the topic paper based on the intake form you have created that will help rank the seriousness of the threat from the suspect who is stalking.
- The evaluation and assessment form should indicate your familiarity with the contemporary information on what constitutes the most dangerous threat to the victim and then provide a ranking accordingly.
Your forms should reflect contemporary information and the legal definition of the crime of stalking and what factors distinguish the most serious situations.
Culture undertook the creation of selected monumental work of architecture
$12.00Culture undertook the creation of selected monumental work of architecture
Question 1:
We have continued our study of the art created by cultures outside of the West. Like those we studied last week, many of the cultures studied this week also created monumental works of architecture, but often for very different reasons than what we saw last week. In 3 well-developed paragraphs locate 2 specific examples of monumental architecture created by 2 different cultures we studied this week and discuss:
- Why do you believe each culture undertook the creation of your selected monumental work of architecture and sculpture despite the difficulties of accomplishing them? What can we assume about a work of art without such knowledge?
- How do the reasons for their works compare with those of a more modern example of monumental art work, such as Mount Rushmore, the 9/11 Memorial, etc.?
Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas.
Question 2:
The tradition of mask-making and masquerade can be found the world over, but no place is it as pervasive, diverse and rich as found in the traditional arts of West and Central Africa. Although these masks are often seen as works of art in the West, they typically were not intended to be a work of art. Interestingly, in many African societies there is not a word for “art.” In 3 well-developed paragraphs select 3 different traditional African masks, each from a different African society. Discuss:
- How is the mask used and what is its purpose?
- Does putting the mask on display in some place like an art museum or gallery change what you think of it?
Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas.

Response Paper 1: Points of View
Snyder (“One World, Rival Theories”) and Betts (“Conflict or Cooperation”) review the theoretical approaches that inform US foreign policy. Each assess the strengths and weakness of these theories (or grand ideas) and each, as Betts puts it, argue that “simple visions, however powerful, do not hold up as reliable predictors of particular developments.” Because of this, Snyder contends that presidents (and other decision makers) are forced by circumstances to blend and bend their ideologies when confronting foreign policy challenges and that current international relations theories are only partially useful in guiding interpretation. Address the following questions using the assigned lectures and readings. What is the purpose of theory and how does theory clarify, confuse, and omit? In what ways can a commitment to a single perspective damaging? Why might decision makers have to “blend and bend.” Use a case drawn from current events to illustrate your argument.
Cultural Diversity Essay
$25.00Cultural Diversity Essay
Format and Word Count:
The student’s work should be presented in an ESSAY of around 1500 words.
Referencing:
The essay should include a list of references (print and electronic) at the end in addition to in-text referencing as per the requirements of the Harvard Referencing System. Proper referencing is a serious academic requirement and skill and will be rewarded accordingly.
Writing and Discussion Topic:
Cultural encounters can prove to be very enriching to all those involved. However, in most cases these encounters lead to conflict of values. Issues of conflict of values are not confined to academic or philosophical spheres, but impact the social interaction closely. Consequently, the issue of dealing with minority cultures/groups and their values comes to the forefront. In the hope of addressing these issues, societies often resort to philosophical assumptions and theoretical principles, but the results are never fully satisfactory.
Choose a thorny issue that relates to minority groups/cultures and highlight how conclusions can be reached to best settle it. The issue can be ethnic, cultural, gender, age or physical/mental ability related in nature and those involved in it can be a large or a small group. The scope of the answer is wide and you should set the necessary philosophical background to the topic by explaining key concepts and applying them to the issue chosen. In the process of answering the TMA, you should make sure to include the below five sub sections:
1) Highlight the concepts involved in weighing societal choices in response to issues brought up by cultural encounters.
2) Debate the concept of treating different groups of people fairly or unfairly.
3) Comment on whether ethic, cultural, gender, age or physical mental ability related identities (depending on the thorny issue you chose) is a matter of choice or chance.
4) Reflect on reasons for governments to protect and foster diverse cultural traditions or groups.
5) Summarize the difficulties encountered in deciding on the best practice when addressing issues of this kind.
A Tentative Outline for AA100B TMA

- Discuss “discrimination”, and say when it is fair and when it is unfair.
- Mention the factors that make any discrimination fair/unfair. Give a particular example in which one group of people (a minority) is treated differently from others (the majority), and note whether you think the difference in treatment is fair or unfair.
- Body Paragraphs 2 & 3:
- Introduce your “particular case study”.
- Mention the two cultures involved (i.e. the majority and the minority).

- Does the group have a free, equal, and democratic internal regime?
- Can people join and leave the group easily?
- Does the group itself value autonomy, as liberals understand it?
