Sociologists are always interested in inequality, why we have inequality, and who benefits and suffers from inequality. In this lesson, we discussed two bases of inequality in society- race and gender. Later, we will look at inequality based on social class. There are many other ways that inequality manifests in society. What is an example of another basis of inequality you see in society? What do you think are some of the causes and consequences of this inequality? How does your example compare to what we learned about racial and gender inequalities? It may be helpful to reference/cite the assigned material in your response demonstrating connections between your thoughts and the course resources

You are to select one topic to focus on and create a tabloid-size, static infographic that will be included in the “Technology and Culture” section of Tech Crowd magazine. You can select from the following topics: Social Media Use CHOSEN TOPIC: Which Social Media Channels are Most Commonly Used Mobile Technology The reports included data sets for each topic that highlight relevant data. You also have access to a Brand Style Guide for the magazine. The Brand Style Guide will ensure that your infographic design will be branded appropriately by providing approved typography, colors, logos, and other design specifications. Both the data set and the Brand Style Guide will support your work on the project deliverables and are linked in Supporting Materials. Directions For your chosen topic, you are required to create two deliverables: a project proposal and a static infographic. You should revise and resubmit the project proposal you created for the milestone assignment in Module Five based on any instructor feedback you may have received. Part 1: Project Proposal(COMPLETED – see attached) Use the Project Proposal Template linked in the What to Submit section. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria: Describe the intent of the infographic for your chosen topic. Include the following: Which aspects of the given data will you focus on? Why? Who is the intended audience for your infographic? Explain. Explain the relationships between the variables based on the given data set. Explain the intended story from the data set. Include the following: What does the data set tell you about your chosen topic? Explain. What are the big ideas represented by the data set? Explain. Choose three visualizations that you will use to best represent the story. Include the following details for each visualization: Visualization type Scale and size of data Colors Font types Explain how the chosen visualizations convey the relationships between the variables.

Introduction
​Several Long Island School have been identified by New York State as needing improvement. To fully understand the factors that affect student performance in Long Island schools, it is important to take into account a variety of factors. These include the quality of teachers, teacher preparation programs, school budget, and the socioeconomic status of students served by the districts. By examining these different aspects, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of what contributes to student success in Long Island schools.
​This study has the potential to offer valuable insights into the factors that contribute to students’ academic performance, and how it correlates with schools being identified as in need of improvement. The findings from this research can serve as a foundation for future studies on implementing evidence-based practices to support these schools and enhance student achievement.
Problem Statement
​The problem of school improvement and teacher quality is a critical issue in education, with implications for student achievement and overall school effectiveness. Teacher preparation programs play a crucial role in shaping the quality of teachers entering the education system. The impact of these programs on teacher quality and school improvement has been the subject of extensive research. While some researchers argue that quality teacher preparation programs can make a significant difference (Krause, 2019), others emphasize the importance of systematic review and key leader practices in influencing student achievement and school improvement (Hitt & Tucker, 2016). Additionally, the perceptions of student teachers regarding career readiness and the effectiveness of teacher preparation programs have been identified as crucial factors in improving development and program evaluation (Dantas, 2016). DIRECTIONS: given the information above, write a literature review (APA style) that explores student performance and the following subtopics:
– teacher quality / teacher preparation/ college training – school budget
– school demographics Research studies used in this literature review must be found in online databases and should be from New York State (preferably) or the USA. Please do not use findings from other countries. NO AI, must be human- written.

Research and write a short paper (min 250 words) on any single social influence, legislation, or technical development. Elaborate on how the event affected the practice and profession of OT. What issues are presently being discussed at the state and/or national level? Issues can be proposed changes or current policy causing concern. Review at least two current OT journals/resources and describe the impact of the policy or proposed policy in OT practice. Utilize library resources and/or classroom resources to find OT journals.

Nurses can be an integral part of designing public policy as political leaders. As a registered nurse, you have a professional commitment to improve health care. However, many nurses are not politically active and do not lobby for important aspects of their profession. · What are the reasons many nurses do not actively engage in lobbying efforts? · What actions can nurses take to encourage themselves and their peers to get involved politically and lobby for specific issues, such as healthcare policy changes? Provide a detailed example. In order to receive full credit, you will need to clearly respond to both parts of the question as your headings AND cite at least one scholarly reference in all of your responses. Do not use references without dates. All references must be five years and less to date. Prompts should be 250-300 words, and peer responses should be 100-150 words each. References, citations, headings, and salutations are not counted as part of the word count.

The purpose of this final assignment is to showcase a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the course materials and the practical application of that knowledge. Students are tasked with developing a detailed report that encapsulates the outcomes of their internal audit focusing on ISO 45001 and ANSI Z10 within their respective organization.
The minimum suggested length for this report is 9 pages (roughly 1 page of introduction, 1 page per section of ISO 45001 and ANSI Z10, and 2 pages of summary. This submission must follow APA guidelines and may include graphics (e.g., charts, tables, etc.) that support the content of the paper. All submissions should be double-spaced, 11-12 point font, with appropriate citations (where applicable).
This report should include the following:
An introduction of the organization (to include name, industry, estimated size, territory, number of locations, etc.)** and prior experience related to the implementation of ISO 45001 and ANSI Z10 (or similar voluntary standards) before the gap assessment.
Note: where instances of organizational privacy/sensitivity must be maintained, students may substitute the name with an alias (e.g., ABC company, etc.) but must include other information (e.g., industry, etc.) for context within the overall report.
For each section of ISO 45001 and ANSI Z10, explain and defend:
Why the student feels the organization does or does not meet the requirements of the section;
The top 5 opportunities in implementing the section of the standards;
The top 5 benefits of implementing the section of the standards.
A summary of what the student feels the path forward will or could be for them and their organization as it relates to compliance and the implementation of ISO 45001 and/or ANSI Z10.

I HAVE ADDED Selected Required Presentation Topics: Now you MUST ADD description/abstract & MODALITY (Onlne/Discussion Board OR In-Class) To-Do Date: May 6 at 11:59pm To-Do Date: Feb 16 at 11:59pm The spreadsheet which lists presentation DATES and TOPICS will be posted for students to add their names to select topics. REMEMBER, topics are approved on a first-come-first-serve basis. Two per STUDENT (UNLESS approved by instructor). Students who do not select topics will have one chosen for them which could be due as early as next week. PLEASE do not remove or modify the selection of ANY student in the class. Further, do not alter your selection in ANY WAY once it has been entered unless instructed by your professor to do so. You have THREE options for presentation format (see the Syllabus document on the homepage). Once your name is posted on the spreadsheet, as long as it meets the criteria and is approved, you may begin. Presentations are due by Wednesday of the week they are scheduled. All presentation info is testable, so be sure to check out the presentations your classmates share BOTH online and during class. Review the syllabus for details. Online or F2F (in-class) PRESENTATION (10%) A presentation for/to the class based on one section of one of the chapters covered in our textbook. As a rule of thumb, students are not expected to cover the entire chapter, but ONE or TWO aspects of a chapter that may be considered most interesting to a particular student. PLEASE see the EXAMPLE ON the Discussion Board. The presentation will be a supplement to the information that we are learning in class. Students will select from the Calendar of Lessons. Students will be prepared to present/post on (or close to) the date(s) the topic is scheduled to be covered in class. My recommendation is for students to peruse the textbook and find something that catches their eye & then read a bit about it to decide whether it is a topic that would be worthy of further investigation. One paramount component of this project is for students to answer the question “What does this have to do with people in our time?” Be sure to include this in your required thesis which will appear in the first slide of the presentation. Students are expected to use the rubric provided during our first class meetings. Each presentation will be a minimum of seven minutes and a maximum of twenty minutes. For F2F presentations, please notify the instructor of the approximate length of time required for your presentation. This will ensure that it has been rehearsed before the presentation. Please stay within the time allotted. Bring a copy of the outline and a properly (MLA) formatted Works Cited on the day of the presentation. Students who complete BOTH in-class & virtual (OL) presentations will be expected to include an outline and a Works Cited as attachments to the presentation on the CANVAS Discussion Board. This document will include citations and an outline (with thesis) on the day of the presentation. For OL presentations, students must be a bit more tech-savvy since the content will have to be self-transitioning and include prerecorded audio so that viewers can just sit down and enjoy the self-rolling and sound-enhanced presentation. Those who are not willing or able to include these elements in their presentations should consider a F2F presentation. Students who do not submit all items will lose ten points per missing item. Are you considering a PowerPoint presentation? PowerPoint or Prezi Presentations must be between 10 -15 SLIDES & must CONTAIN a documented quotation that pertains to the topic presented. EX: “All the world’s a Stage” Shakespeare: As You Like It Students will NOT BE PERMITTED to include paragraphs in slides OR READ FROM the presentation. ONLY referenced bullet NOTES will be accepted. Students may use index cards or thumbnail printouts during presentations. Students may even distribute handouts to the class. Each slide must contain a citation if ANY information on the slide was derived from a source. Students must make a genuine effort to properly pronounce unfamiliar terms. A ‘tool’ for this may be available in CANVAS. However, it is ultimately up to the student to take responsibility for this element of the presentation. Do not worry! It is a project that is designed to be “fun”. If you complete the preparation for your presentation prior to your scheduled presentation date, you may send a copy to me and I will make any recommendations that may be necessary. Topics are selected on a 1st come first serve basis: Topic selections are limited to two students per topic: Once two students have selected a topic, it will be closed to other students unless otherwise specified. Since two students will be presenting on a topic, it is VERY IMPORTANT for students TO COMMUNICATE with one another via CANVAS INBOX or the BEST communication tool that BOTH parties agree on. ONCE TOPICS are selected THEY CANNOT be CHANGED. If no topic is selected, one will be selected for you. This power point project is for humanity class. The topic is: The Enlightenment
