Howard Becker is the most widely cited sociologist in the field of deviance and criminology. In 1963 he published, Outsiders: Studies of Deviance, a best-seller and template for Labeling Theory in the Sociology of Deviance.
Labeling theory argues that deviance is created by labels, not by the actions themselves. Labeling theory also explains that people who are in positions of power are those with the power to label. Those labels create
deviance and impact the identity and treatment of those being labeled.
Becker and n his classic, “Outsiders” explains how the label “criminal”
or “deviant” is applied depending on who is doing the crime. Consider
the following: Most Americans are concerned about street crime much.
more than white collar crime; yet. white collar crime costs society
exponentially more than all street crime combined. Likewise, those
involved in expensive crimes that have an impact on society, usually go
unpunished the same was a pot smoker or someone who holds up a liquor
store might be. As you read the article, consider how Becker argues that substances are just things; and just like activities, are not good or bad, unless
someone in power labels them as such. He bases his narrative on research
and myths regarding marijuana that he has been conducting for 60 years.
Here is his article, based on Labeling Theory, that discusses how definitions matter!

Please ensure that this guide is created as a comprehensive and informative resource that can be easily shared and published. Adding relevant images and utilizing any available URLs will help to enhance the quality of the guide. It is important to note that all departments and agencies will be providing us with a hierarchy of personnel, positions, and activity centers within the organizational chart. Therefore, it is essential that the guide accurately reflects this information.(clear concise grammar, professional grammar and spelling and punctuation

My draft is below:
Overview:
All departments and agencies are required to create an organizational chart that visually represents their internal structure. This chart displays important details such as the hierarchy, job positions, and activity centers within the company. The hierarchy section shows the reporting relationships from upper management to lower-level employees. It outlines who reports to whom and the flow of authority. The chart defines job positions clearly, specifying the responsibilities of each person in the organization. Additionally, activity centers highlight important departments, teams, or units involved in various functions or projects. By creating an Org Chart, GVI Departments/Agencies can visually communicate their internal structure, making it easier to understand the company’s organizational dynamics and promoting effective communication across different levels of the hierarchy.
Step 1: Open Microsoft Visio
Launch Microsoft Visio on your computer. If you don’t have Visio installed, you can download it from the official Microsoft website or use a similar diagramming tool that supports organizational chart creation.
Step 2: Select a Template
Choose the “Organizational Chart” template from the available templates. This template is specifically designed for creating organizational charts and comes with predefined shapes and layouts.
Step 3: Add Shapes
Visio provides various shapes for different roles and positions. Drag and drop the shapes onto the drawing canvas to represent the positions in your organizational structure. Common shapes include rectangles for employees and ovals for positions like managers or executives.
Step 4: Connect Shapes
Use connector lines to link the shapes and illustrate reporting relationships. To add a connector, select the “Connector” tool, click on the starting shape’s connection point, and then click on the ending shape’s connection point. Visio will automatically create a line connecting the two shapes.
Step 5: Customize Shapes
Double-click on a shape to add text and information such as the employee’s name, title, and other relevant details. You can also change the color, font, and other formatting options to make the chart visually appealing and easy to understand.
Step 6: Adjust Layout
Arrange the shapes on the canvas to create a clear and logical structure. Use the alignment and distribution tools in Visio to ensure that the chart looks organized and professional. Pay attention to the hierarchy and order of positions.
Step 7: Import Data (Optional)
If you have an existing dataset, you can import it into Visio to automatically generate an organizational chart. Navigate to the “Data” tab, select “Link Data to Shapes,” and follow the prompts to import and link your data.
Step 8: Review and Finalize
Carefully review the organizational chart to ensure accuracy and completeness. Check the connections, labels, and overall layout. Make any necessary adjustments to improve clarity and readability.
Step 9: Save and Share
Save your work by clicking on “File” and then “Save” or “Save As.” Choose a location on your computer or cloud storage and provide a suitable filename. You can also export the chart in various formats (e.g., PDF or image) to easily share it with others.
By following these steps, you can create a professional organizational chart using Microsoft Visio, effectively representing the structure of your organization. To further enhance your experience and understanding of creating a professional organizational chart in Microsoft Visio, I recommend watching this helpful video tutorial: How to Build an Org Chart in Microsoft Visio 2019 – Visio Tutorial (youtube.com). This video provides a visual walkthrough and additional insights that complement the step-by-step guide outlined here. By following the instructions in the guide and referring to the video tutorial, you’ll have comprehensive support in navigating the features of Microsoft Visio and ensuring a seamless creation process for your organizational chart.

Find an example of an article that supports the conservative perspective on a political or an
economical issue from news clips. Using the subject matter covered in the clip, prepare a
written analysis of about a page or two discussing (a) what the issue is all about and why it is
important for the society; that is, why or how this article is significant for the general public (b)
explain how or why this article represents the conservative perspective, which is, how the
conservative perspective views the root cause of the problem as stated in the article and (c)
making use of your knowledge of the conservative perspective (that is, based on your reading
of the PowerPoint and listening to the recorded lecture), present a meaningful solution to solve
the problem that is identified in the article in order to address the general public’s concern (For
example, imagine that you’re a policy maker with a conservative perspective and you are
proposing a solution to the problem as stated in the article). Note that this assignment is not
about comparing the conservative perspective with the liberal perspective. Instead, it is solely
about using the conservative perspective to analyze/interpret and solve societal problems.

I am applying for a company and I want an introduction about myself in English, along with a CV ءI am currently studying a master’s degree in joint insurance at King Saud University, and my graduation, God willing, will be in 2025.

Criteria: Used examples from each of the modules to address each of the prompts that describe the function of the mind.
CONNECTIONS 2 Please use the following topic sentences and create an essay explaining the function of the mind. Use vocabulary form the moduiles – and USE EXAMPLES from your own life. We have a mind to create meaning and purpose of the world around us. We associate behaviors to stimuli through the development of a Contingency. (s+ and s-) The stronger the contingency the greater likelihood we act when that stimuli is present.
We Generalize stimuli and responses – so that we can behave in many different situations. We form Concepts about stimuli to consolidate cognitive resources and use less brain to get same behavior. We apply concepts to the real world through algorithms and heuristics to solve problems. Some people seem to be more intelligent than other people. We learn so much in the first 5 years of life – the concepts that we learn stick with us. Our Emotions are stimuli that become conditioned through experience. Our motivation is a combination of emotional arousal and problem solving in our prefrontal cortex.
