General Instructions: For this assignment, you are to describe the processes of evolution in essay format. In order to properly execute this assignment you are going to need to cover a number of concepts. In general you should describe each of the Four Forces of Evolution, to a degree that lets me know that you understand each of them. You should also cover both the concept of species and population. Given that variation is also critical to the process, a description of variation between populations is also necessary. Finally, Isolation Mechanisms and the Speciation event itself must be covered. All of the concepts are interrelated and your essay must reflect that. Be careful as this is easily the most difficult assignment you will have to complete for this class. You should be able to get all of the information you will need to write this essay from your textbook and from lectures.

Assessment 3: Safe Space Report 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. Safe spaces 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? 1500-1700 words Task Using an excerpt from a 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. Ensure you include analysis of whether culturally safe spaces require cultural self-awareness and cultural intelligence and how this can be achieved in relation to the behaviours by people in your chosen video. 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 spaces identified in the film in relation to the research literature, provide recommendations for creating or sustaining culturally safe spaces based on the scenario. See the link at right to a template for the report. 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 also provided. Try to keep to the word count for each section. Remember, word count guidelines are an indication only for each section (as maximum). Review the assessment criteria as well to ensure you understand that referencing, research and analysis are highly valued in the marking of your work. If you provide a great, long description of the scenario, this will not give you an excellent grade. Apply the literature review in the discussion and recommendations to show you understand the links between cultural self-awareness, cultural intelligence and the development of culturally safe spaces. 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 to include page numbers. (This is information that is included in the word document template) 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). Summary of video clip (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. Your summary needs to include the following details: the name of TV show or movie the season and episode if it is a TV show or year released for movie the setting (is it social, academic or workplace?) a general overview of what the scene is about identify who the key characters are Summary of literature (approx. 400 words and at least four sources- remember to include independent researched sources as well.) 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 self-awareness and show how these are all linked to increasing our ability to create safe spaces. Observations/description of Video (approx. 250 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 . Discussion (approximately 400 words and at least four sources- remember to include independent researched sources as well. You can refer to the some you covered tin the literature review) 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 something like: “In the early part of the film, 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, Worthley and McNab (2006, p.40) define as cultural intelligence or the ability to adjust to another culture. Jane showed she was reading the other person’s uncomfortable body language and adjusted her approach appropriately to make the patient feel safe in that new place.” 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. 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 regarding 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. Preparation: Cross Cultural Communications As you think about which video clip to choose for assessment three- observe the way that various cultural groups are represented in fictional and non-fictional scenes. The video clip in this week’s web-site learning materials about ‘active listening’ clearly shows a male businessperson first ignoring and then listening to advice from his female adviser. This illustrates active listening but there are also cultural norms being shown about male and female roles. When you are looking at narrative films or documentaries, look for and try to comment on the hidden cultural communication that is also being shown. Start to view some of the suggested video clips below and choose one that you wish to analyse and write about in the report. This will prepare you for writing a summary of the chosen clip next week. Choose a scene Choose a scene to analyse (about 3-10 minutes in length) from a TV program, video or movie that focuses on a conflict situation in a community, university/school or workplace. Although fictional the scene should depict a ‘real life’ situation. In other words avoid action films or over the top movies/shows. Avoid spending too much time looking for the ‘perfect scenes’ as the analytic report is the main focus. You are encouraged to choose from films/segments provided below. As you view them, remember you will need to focus on writing a report answering:- How do cultural self –awareness and cultural intelligence help to create effective safe spaces?

Choose one of the following to write a film analysis: Kurosawa Akira ???. Rashomon ???, 1950. Kurosawa Akira ???. The Shadow Warrior???, 1980. Miyazaki Hayao ???. Spirited Away ????????, 2001. Miyazaki Hayao ???The Wind Rises ????, 2013. OzuYasujiro ?????. An Autumn Afternoon ?????, 1962. Wakamatsu Ko?ji ????. United Red Army ???????, 2007. You should watch the film carefully and make notes on features that intrigue you. They can be the plot, structure, character, or film techniques. In order to organize your ideas and supporting evidence, you might need to watch the film more than once. Then write your analysis in a coherent and systematic manner. Note that a film analysis is different from a review, which usually provides a brief synopsis and evaluation for potential viewers. You should assume that your reader has also watched the film, so the purpose of your essay is to help him/her understand the film better. Your film analysis should include an introduction of your thesis statement, detailed analysis (points, evidence and examples) to support your ideas, and conclusion. You should avoid being overly descriptive about the details or plots of the film; instead, your quoting of a shot or an episode should serve an argument in your essay. You can refer to “Writing a Critical Analysis of a Film” and sample analyses of Tokyo Story and Chungking Express (David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson, Film Art: An Introduction. Boston: McGraw Hill, 2008, 8th or later editions, pp. 401-410, 431-434). Both files are available on Blackboard.

Discussion of Results and Conclusion of the topic. If 3 pages is too much, and you cannot include quality information. Please say so, and reduce to 2 pages. Garch equation was applied to the log returns of Futures and Spot prices of Wheat, Sugar and Corn. (please read methodology to understand the model implemented) ADF and Arch effects were performed to ensure the GARCH will be effective for its purpose. I would like a discussion/conclusion in relation to the topic – “Does the Speculation of the FUTURES of Food commodities affect food prices (its underlying spot price)? Please understand what the requirement is here before accepting this order. I would like a discussion of the results, to conclude whether or not the speculation of the futures of food commodities (which creates volatility in the futures prices) are a causative factor in the changes of their underlying spot prices (food prices). This is using the results of the GARCH equation which will be uploaded. The results must come to a sound conclusion using the results uploaded. I do not understand why there is a discussion for Garch equation and Garch overall equation. If need please tidy this up to make sense to the reader. Thanks

Research Project (Country Study) You are to prepare a country study of two states that you chose. These states must be from different categories (liberal democracies, post communist and communist states, new democracies, less developed states, Islamic states, or marginal states). For example, you may choose to research France (a liberal democracy) and Guinea-Bissau (a marginal state), but you should not choose two states from the same category. You will need to examine several factors, all of which can be found in the CIA World Factbook located at https://www.cia.gov. There are additional mega sites that offer information on individual states, such as the University of Texas Latin American Network Information Center (LANIC) at https://lanic.utexas.edu and Columbia University’s Comparative Studies Portal at https://www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/indiv/lehman/guides/compol.html#Country. You are to go through the list of factors provided, carefully selecting the items from the World Factbook or other data sources, typing them individually and citing your sources accordingly. Where appropriate, you should compare the various factors of your two states to provide context. For example, in gross domestic product growth rates, a state’s per capita GDP may be $10,000 or less per year, but if its growth rate is 6 percent per year, what is that information telling you? At that point, you would check the other state’s GDP growth rate (or another that you think might be comparable) to see what is going on in your state. After you have examined and noted the specific geographic, demographic, political, economic, etc., factors listed below, you will need to do some research on what you believe to be the two states’ most compelling issue in two areas: politics and economics. Lastly, you will be asked to provide a recommendation on how to solve each of the issues you present. How do the governments of each state help or hinder progress toward a solution? How to Organize Your Paper, There will be three sections for each country. Each section should have its own paragraph. Country 1 1. General data: your listing of the numerical and brief textual facts, as provided on the attached list 2. Issue 1 (politics): statement of the issue, background, factors bearing on the problem, possible solutions, your recommendation for solving this issue, and rationale for your decision 3. Issue 2 (economics): statement of the issue, background, factors bearing on the problem, possible solutions, your recommendation for solving this issue, and rationale for your decision Country 2 1. General data: your listing of the numerical and brief textual facts, as provided on the attached list 2. Issue 1 (politics): statement of the issue, background, factors bearing on the problem, possible solutions, your recommendation for solving this issue, and rationale for your decision 3. Issue 2 (economics): statement of the issue, background, factors bearing on the problem, possible solutions, your recommendation for solving this issue, and rationale for your decision ANALYSIS 1. How are the issues in each of your two countries different? How are they the same? 2. Are these differences impacted by the type of government existing in each country? 3. What can you say about government’s ability to solve these problems? 4. Are there any other countries you have studied that might serve as a model for the problems of Country 1 or Country 2? 5. What general recommendations would you have for Country 1? For Country 2? For Section 1 on the CIA World Factbook Data, this should be about one page for each country. You may combine data in sections, writing in paragraph style. You may also list the data in a tabular format, as long as it is well organized under the particular headings given. Try to match the data to the issues you are examining. Sections 2 and 3 for each country should be in paragraph form, using the executive summary format (statement of the issue, background, factors bearing on the problem, possible solutions, your recommendations, and your rationale). For the analysis section, compose three well-written paragraphs; one for Country 1, one for Country 2, and a concluding comparative paragraph. In the concluding paragraph, try using the word although at the beginning of your thesis statement to show how these countries (and problems) differ. ABOUT SOURCES FOR THE RESEARCH PAPER Use sources that are peer-reviewed, which means that other scholars have reviewed and approved the findings prior to publication. There is no end of erroneous information on the Internet, so be careful in choosing your sources. Generally, anything with a .com suffix should not be used. • No Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a peer-reviewed source, and it often contains misleading or erroneous information. • Sources should be from academic sites (.edu), including journals, working papers (.gov), and books/textbooks. • Commercial Internet sites should be used sparingly and for data only (for example, the RAND Institute), as some sites have an inherent bias. LIST OF FACTORS TO BE INCLUDED IN SECTION 1 OF THE PAPER GEOGRAPHY • location • comparative area size (about the size of what state in the United States?) • land boundaries (total, bordering states) • climate, terrain, elevation extremes • natural resources • land use (arable land and permanent crops), irrigated land, natural hazards, environment PEOPLE • population • population growth rate, birth rate, death rate, infant mortality (M/F), life expectancy (M/F), HIV/AIDS (adult prevalence, deaths) • nationality, ethnic groups, religions, languages • literacy (total, M/F) GOVERNMENT • state name (long form, short form, local form), government type, capital, independence • constitution, legal system, suffrage, executive branch (chief of state, head of government), legislative branch, judicial branch, political parties, and leaders ECONOMY • GDP (gross domestic product) and purchasing power parity (PPP), real growth rate, per capita, by sector • unemployment rate, population below poverty line, inflation rate, exports, export partners, imports, import partners, economic aid (recipient, donor) COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPORTATION • telephones (mobile cellular, land lines) • radio broadcast stations, television broadcast stations • airports with paved runways over 3,047 meters, railways and roadways (total), ports and terminals MILITARY • military branches, military service (age and obligation), military expenditures (percent of GDP) TRANSNATIONAL ISSUES • disputes, refugees, trafficking in persons, illicit drugs
