Due Week 10 and worth 120 points

You have already developed a thesis statement and developed an outline in which you explored two (2) real-life international incidents from the past five (5) years involving the United States as they received an elevated status as a world power. Now you will develop the final paper in which you explore your main points in detail.

Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you:

1. Introduce your paper with your previously crafted thesis statement.
2. Discuss two (2) international events involving the US military from the past five (5) years that can be traced back to a foreign policy created after the Civil War.

4. Identify three to five (3-5) international incidents since World War II where America has taken on a policing role.
5. Determine three to five (3-5) driving forces that fueled international policy decisions involving the international incidents you outlined previously. (Consider treaties, exit strategies, elections, wars, etc.)
6. Use at least three (3) academic references besides or in addition to the textbook. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Analyze the rise of the United States to a world “superpower” and how that status has shaped its internal developments in recent decades.
• Recognize the major turning points in American history since the Civil War.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in contemporary U.S. history.
• Write clearly and concisely about contemporary U.S. history using proper writing mechanics.

Requesting writer “perfecto”. 

Focus of the Final Paper

The final assignment for the course is a Final Paper on two cases. The Final Paper should demonstrate understanding of the reading as well as the implications of new knowledge. The eight- to ten-page paper should integrate readings and course discussions into work and life experiences. It may include an explanation and examples from previous experiences as well as implications for future applications.

Read the case study at the end of Chapter 12 and the case study at the end of Chapter 13, and thoroughly answer all the following questions. Supplement your answers with scholarly research using the Ashford Online Library. Each case study should be addressed in four to five pages, resulting in a combined Final Paper of eight to ten pages.

Chapter 12 Case Study: The Realco Breadmaster

1.Develop a master production schedule for the breadmaker. What do the projected ending inventory and available-to-promise numbers look like? Has Realco “overpromised”? In your view, should Realco update either the forecast or the production numbers?

2.Comment on Jack’s approach to order promising. What are the advantages? The disadvantages? How would formal master scheduling improve this process? What organizational changes would be required?

3.Following up on Question 2, which do you think is worse, refusing a customer’s order upfront because you don’t have the units available or accepting the order and then failing to deliver? What are the implications for master scheduling?

4.Suppose Realco produces 20,000 breadmakers every week, rather than 40,000 every other week. According to the master schedule record, what impact would this have on average inventory levels?

Chapter 13 Case Study: Supply-Chain Challenges in Post-Earthquake Japan

1.What are some of the advantages of the supply chain used in the Japanese auto industry before the March 11 earthquake and tsunami? What were some of its disadvantages?

2.Is Toyota’s plan for a “foolproof” supply chain consistent with the Lean production philosophy? Explain.

3.Can you think of any additional ways Toyota (and its competitors in the Japanese auto industry) can improve upon the company’s plan to create a “foolproof” supply chain?

4.What impact do you think Toyota’s plan will have on the way it handles relationship management in its supply chain?

 The Forensic Psychology Booklet

Potential students often look for guidance regarding the programs that they are considering. You are a program assistant at a local university. You have been asked by your department chair (psychology) to create a booklet about the field of forensic psychology for potential students. This booklet will be given out at information sessions and will be sent to students requesting more information. The department chair asks you to create this booklet with the undecided student in mind, remembering that while you don’t want to scare students away, you also want to be truthful about the field. She asks for the following information to be included:

• A description of the educational levels required and recommended (i.e. what can a MA level forensic psychologist do, versus a Doctorate level professional). Different roles that a forensic psychologist can take. This can include roles in the court and out as well as research possibilities. (2 pages)
• A discussion of each of the following and discuss why is it important that all forensic psychologists need to be well-versed in them (3 pages):

• Case Law
• Specific Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and why they are important
• Important past research in the field
• Diversity issues
• Ethical considerations

• An analysis of at least three aspects of the American judicial system (such as eyewitness testimony, transfer of juveniles to criminal court, etc.), which are impacted most heavily by psychology and psychological research (3 pages). Be sure to discuss:

• Three aspects of the American judicial system
• How psychology has impacted these aspects
• One research study for each aspect that is considered pivotal, classic or ground breaking in the field.

By Monday, October 10, 2016 deliver your assignment to the M5: Assignment 1 Dropbox.

Your booklet needs to be at least 8 pages long. Because it is an informational booklet, it will not be formatted like a formal paper, but should be professionally and attractively presented. Please remember that all citations should follow APA formatting rules, and the majority of the information should be in a formal academic writing style. However, a minority of the information can be written in bulleted format.

An Annotated Bibliography will be developed including Five (100 word minimum for each) Annotated Citations.  With the exception of the first, these references will be based on topics obtained from the Language Development Hypotheses in the list provided>>

1.   The effects of watching television for young children are detrimental to language development.   

2.   The number of siblings and their position in the family in terms of birth effects language development.

3.   Increased opportunities to experience (play with) many objects as a young child is beneficial to concept (and hence) language development.

4.   Letting the infant cry at night so that she/she will learn to sleep all night long is detrimental to language development if not the psychological development of the baby.

5.   Exposing the child in the first five years of life to classical music like Bach and Beethoven is beneficial for cognitive and/or language development.

6.   The more you talk to a child in the first five years, the better cognitive and/or language development will be.

7.   Children who are read to (or who read) have better imagery and/or language development than children who watch Television.

8.   A plentiful diet of sugar based cereals, soft drinks, pastries, cookies, and/or fast foods, is developmentally detrimental to a child’s ability to sustain attention.

9.   Reading to a child every day (even an infant) is beneficial for language development.

10.A baby, who immediately after birth is allowed to remain with the mother rather than being immediately put in a nursery, will demonstrate more vocalization in later months.

11.Babies who are not touched will perish at worst or have diminished brain development at best.

12.Children who watch Television spend less time reading or drawing than children who don’t.

13.Children with stay-at-home moms (or dads) have better language development than those having parents who both work away from the home.

14.Sustained middle ear infections among children from birth to 5 years will have a detrimental effect on language development.

15.Learning to read and play music facilitates attention (focused, sustained, selective, alternating and dual).

  
16.For the normal baby, being exposed to two, three or more languages is simultaneously is a good policy for language development. 

 
17.A person’s first language can not be acquired after puberty. 

                                             
18.Parrots, porpoises, and/or primates do not acquire language    .

19.Children have better eidetic imagery than adults.

20.Syntax is only found in human communication.

21.(Wild Card) You develop a hypotheses and then do the research for your report.  But be sure to clear this with the instructor first.

You may use the same Topic for all, or different Topics for each.  The choice is yours.

The First annotated citation will be on the Topic of the “Legal and Ethical Dimensions of the Use of Information.”  This information can be obtained from the Internet using a search engine such as Google Scholar.  The annotated citation should be in APA format as much as possible, and should include the URL (address) of the Internet site; or a citation of the book or article if that was used.  The annotation should provide a short overview of the article and/or list the most critical points.  Please note that this one citation can relate to any topic and not only Language Development.

The second two of these citations will be full Text articles or books obtained through Databases of professional books and journals available at, or online through the CSUN Library. These citations will be reported in APA format.  Included in the annotation portion of each citation will be a paragraph, which briefly summarizesthe article (you can usually get this information from the abstract), and answers following questions.  If the answer is not available, you simply state that fact:

1.   What is the background (authority) of the author (viz., degree and type of education, affiliated institution, history of research in the area as perhaps reflected by past articles in the bibliography)?
2.   Who is the intended audience (i.e., professionals, laypersons, women etc.)?
3.   How does this work compare or contrast with others you may have cited or be aware of?  If you are not aware of any others, simply state that as the situation.
4.   What is the scope and relevance of this work to the selected topic (hypothesis)?  What the heck do I mean by that?  Well, is it highly or only vaguely relevant to the hypothesis; and is it of minor or major importance.

The Last Two citations will be obtained through the Internet using search engines provided online such as “Google Scholar.”  These citations will follow an APA format as closely as possible, including the URL information.  Included in each citation will be a paragraph, which briefly summarizes the site, and addresses the following questions related to, for the purpose of this exercise, the voracity of the Website.  If the answers are not available in the site information, simply state so:
1.   Is the site owner/manager’s identity available and is it associated with a reputable organization, company or educational institution?
2.   What is the background (authority) of the author (viz., degree and type of education, affiliated institution, history of research in the area as perhaps reflected by past articles in the site bibliography. If this information is not available, simply state that fact.)
3.   What is the level of objectivity?  For example, are there advertisements on the site related in anyway to the topic?
4.   Is the Website current?  Cues to the contrary, for example, include broken or expired links and/or no posting date or updated notations.
5.   Is the information correct; error free, verifiable, and/or backed by full citations?
