this has to relate to social econmoic problmes faced by african americans. that the social
problem.
In this course, we will be writing a ‘combination annotated bibliography’ that must include a minimum of four peer-reviewed research articles. If you would like to include authoritative websites, that is fine. However, those included will be in addition to the minimum of four peer-reviewed scholarly articles. As we proceed through the weeks, you need to do some outside research on articles related to your social problem. This annotated bibliography will help you write a full research paper in SWK501 next semester.
Requirements:
Follow standard APA 7th edition for all formatting.
Follow this general format for each article:
Correct Citation
Paragraph 1
5 – 7 sentences summarizing the key points and details of the article
Paragraph 2
1 – 2 sentences evaluating why this source is reliable (identify any biases too)
2 – 3 sentences explaining why this source is useful to understanding your social problem (you may want to refer back to your theoretical lens for analyzing this social problem)
Include a minimum of three articles which:
Discuss the important changes in how your social problem has been viewed throughout at least two different time eras (e.g., Colonial Era, Reconstruction Era, Progressive Era, Great Depression, New Deal Eras, WWII and Prosperity, Civil Rights Era, Conservative Response), which are covered by this class.
Consider focusing on how the perspective, political view, or philosophy/ideology of this problem has changed. Or how have the values attached to it (and your target population) changed?
Include a minimum of one article that details one current policy regarding your social problem. This could be at the local, state, or federal levels, but it must be in current use. (You will most likely focus on this in SWK501 for a policy analysis.)
Edit for correct spelling and grammar.
For an overview of writing an annotated bibliography in APA format, it is required to review the video Annotated Bibliography Tutorial. Please note, you must submit your paper in Microsoft Word.
***To recap, you need four peer-reviewed articles. Three (of the four) articles need to focus on at least two different time eras we covered in class (e.g., one article on the Progressive Era, two articles on the Civil Rights era; or one article on the New Deal Era, one article on WWII era, and one article on the conservative response. I do not want to see all three articles from the same time era!). One of the four articles needs to be on a current/relevant policy directly related to your social problem. If you have any questions, please email me!***

“Creating a Successful Nail Box Business: A Comprehensive Financial Plan” Slide 1: Introduction – Introduce the concept of the nail box business – Explain the purpose of the presentation Slide 2: Market Analysis – Discuss the current market
my idea is to start a nail box business so you don’t need to make a new one.
Please review this chapter before completing this project and use the format online. In other words, make sure to include each of the key elements listed in your textbook (I recommend making these the titles of your slides in the slide deck): https://openstax.org/books/entrepreneurship/pages/7-3-developing-pitches-for-various-audiences-and-goals
this is the comment of my Prof for my business plan (This is lacking in crucial detail on the financial side, including pricing, revenue, and expenses, structure (no actual numbers attached). These are very basic descriptions with no numbers attached, so it’s hard to get a good picture of operations. -10 pts. 90/100.)

“Calculating Costs and Profits in Perfect Competition: A Guide to Marginal Cost, Average Variable Cost, and ATC”
How to Calculate Total Cost Marginal Cost, Average Variable Cost and, ATC.
For the Costs and Revenue in Perfect Competition Assignment, you will submit an MS Excel spreadsheet.
Make sure to use the “formula” feature. (The numbers in the table change. So, if you don’t use the “formula”, your answers will be incorrect because of the changing numbers.)
Calculate marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average fixed cost (AFC), average variable cost (AVC), and average total cost (ATC).
Graph all the cost curves and the MR curve.
Find the profit-maximizing price and output.
Calculate the profit (or loss).
A firm
operating in perfect competition has no influence over market price. It can
sell any amount at the market-clearing price. The only one major decision to
make then is about what quantity should be produced. When it decides the
quantity to produce, then this quantity—along with the prices prevailing in the
market for output and inputs—will determine the firm’s total revenue, total
costs, and ultimately, level of profits. -
“The Harsh Realities of Poverty in Charles Dickens’ “The Chimes””
Charles Dickens’ short story “The Chimes” is a poignant critique of poverty and the working class. Throughout the narrative, Dickens sheds light on the harsh realities faced by the impoverished and the injustices inherent in societal structures.
One way Dickens criticizes poverty is through vivid descriptions of the living conditions of the protagonist, Trotty Veck, and his family. Their dilapidated home symbolizes the struggle to meet basic needs such as shelter and warmth. Dickens portrays poverty not just as a lack of material wealth, but also as a deprivation of dignity and comfort.
Moreover, Dickens uses Trotty Veck to illustrate the psychological toll of poverty. Despite Trotty’s hard work and good intentions, he is constantly belittled and marginalized by those in higher social classes. Dickens exposes the dehumanizing effects of poverty, as Trotty is reduced to mere labels like “chimney sweep” and “drunkard,” undermining his sense of self-worth.
Additionally, Dickens critiques the systemic injustices that perpetuate poverty and inequality. The fictional town of Aldborough serves as a microcosm of a society where wealth is concentrated in the hands of a privileged few, while the working class struggles to make ends meet. Dickens highlights the biases within the legal system, as seen in Trotty’s unjust arrest, reflecting broader societal inequalities.
Furthermore, Dickens emphasizes the importance of community and compassion in addressing poverty. Trotty’s interactions with characters like Meg and Will Fern showcase the resilience and solidarity of the working class. Through these relationships, Dickens suggests that genuine change can only come through collective action and empathy towards the less fortunate.
In conclusion, “The Chimes” by Charles Dickens serves as a powerful indictment of poverty and the working class. Through rich storytelling and compelling characters, Dickens exposes the harsh realities faced by the impoverished and calls for greater awareness and compassion towards their plight.

Comparing Skull Features of Different Species Species | Sagittal Crest | Dental Arcade Shape | Cranial Capacity (cc) | Mandibular Shape | Condylar Index | Facial Index Chimpanzee | – | U-shaped | 375 | “Exploring the Evolution of Our Species: A Comparison of Skulls from Homo sapiens to Homo neanderthalensis”
Goal
Use the modules and review resources to complete the chart on this handout comparing skull features of the chimp, human, Australopithecus africanus, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalensis, and Homo sapiens. Refer to the module pages for images of skulls of the species. Instructions
Refer to the module page Skull Images for the Assignments (Genus Homo) for images and 3-D rotations of the skulls you need to describe and compare. You will also find Comparing and Measuring the Skull (Genus Homo) useful.
Open the worksheet An111 Comparing Genus Homo Skulls.docx Download An111 Comparing Genus Homo Skulls.docx and fill out the table to compare features across the species. The rows will ask for one of the following types of answers.
Simple descriptions and comparisons are fine for our purposes, Review:
Present or absent: When a feature is either there or not, you can use a + for present and – for absent.
For example, “presence of sagittal crest” can be answered + or –.
Describe: When you are asked to describe a feature, do so with a few words or short phrase.
For example, “shape of dental arcade” can be answered “U-shaped.”
Compare: When you are asked to compare, you need to ask “compare to what?”
For Example: If there are three skulls being compared, you might say X and Y are smaller than Z. Or X is smaller than Y and Y is larger than Z.
Measure: Use the measurements you collected Use these measurements gathered from teaching materials at LAVC to calculate the condylar index and the facial index. All measurements are in millimeters

“Exploring the Impact of Social Media on Mental Health: A Comprehensive Research Study”
I will be attaching my outline , topic and the formatt needed for the research. Please make sure you are following the rubric.
-
“Exploring Critical Approaches in Literature: A Analysis of [chosen work]”
In this essay, you will write a critical analysis of a novel, novella, other pre-apporved work, or long short story that you have read for class. As you have done considerable writing on it for your midterm, Mary Shelley’s FRANKENSTEIN is the only work not eligible for your analysis essay. Also, there is a theme in Robert Louis Stevenson’s THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE that is also off limits: anything to do with the dual nature of man (good vs. evil, etc.). That topic has been beaten to death like poor old Sir Danvers Carew.
However, any other work from the syllabus is eligible. On rare occasions, I approve literary works and other works from popular culture outside of the class, but you must get my approval one month in advance of the deadline for the essay, and your annotated bibliography and working thesis statement must be on the pre-approved work. The analysis must apply a critical approach and make use of five scholarly articles, selected from your annotated bibliography, including at least two from peer-reviewed journals. For this assignment, you will write a critical analysis of approximately 1,300-to-1,600 words in length and in MLA format.
Some things to remember about the literary analysis essay:
Use the terminology–demonstrate your knowledge of your chosen approach by using terms commonly associated with the critical lens you’re applying. Some examples might include: canon, constructed, double-voice, exclusion, gender, Marxist, materialist, patriarchy, sex, and sexist.
Refer to specific passages and highlight the details– in a critical approach, you should focus on the details in the novel that touch directly or indirectly on the central idea or theme of your thesis. Select specific passages that illustrate or exemplify your argument, and spend some time discussing how this passage supports your overall reading of the text.
Have a Clearly Defined Thesis Statement– your thesis statement should convey the gist of your argument and clearly outline which critical lens you’re applying to the text.
Use Secondary Sources to Support– the scholarly articles you choose to use for this essay should support your clearly defined and original argument or should be used as springboards for disagreement. Be sure to embed secondary sources into your argument by summarizing, paraphrasing, or directly quoting the source. Remember to always cite your sources parenthetically and in the works cited page.
Link Each Point Back to the Thesis–link each point to the thesis statement; it is also important that you make links between paragraphs and main ideas in the body of your essay. Use transitional expressions such as: similarly, furthermore, additionally, clearly, obviously, etc.
