Drawing upon Takeyuki Tsuda’s article, what concerns have native anthropologists expressed about non-native, Western anthropologists researching and writing about natives? In what ways are ethnographies written by native anthropologists seen as preferable? Does Tsuda agree that they are? What do you think?
Prompt: Should eastern cougars be reintroduced to New York state? Read the two news articles by James Gorman and Steve Orr to gather insight and perspectives on the issue of reintroducing eastern cougars to New York state. Use article search tool (or Google Scholar or another appropriate search engine) to find at least two recent (after 2010) peer-reviewed journal articles to support your opinion. These articles could be about eastern cougars in particular, or they could be similar issues on another species (e.g., gray wolves or other reintroduced large carnivores), as long as they’re used to support your opinion. Using these resources, write a 1,000-word essay (acceptable range: 800-1,300 words) where you summarize the arguments (for/against reintroduction) and provide your science-based opinion on the issue. See the grading rubric for details.

Create an interview questions with brief answers for a woman over the age of 40. Ask questions like:
1. Did you in any way take part in extracurricular activities?
2. Did you mainly associate with boys or girls?
3. What did you learn during time with friends male or female from your middle-school/junior high friends?
4. How did you parents teach you about personal security, teachers and peer at this age (40)
5. Do you think males think about personal safety and security the same way you or other women do?
6. Do you think that differences between women and men are result of biological difference or social factors?
7. Do you think women are equal to men? Does society respect men and women equally?
8. Do you think men and women are represented equally with the same respect in the media?
9. Do you think physical attractiveness is an equally important factor in hiring make and female newscasters, TV actors, magazines models, radio personalities, etc.

Write an essay on the topic of ecology. The essay should be 1000 words in length and should explore the concept of ecology and its significance in the natural world.
The essay should begin with a definition of ecology and an overview of the field, including its history and development as a scientific discipline. The writer should also explain the various subfields of ecology, such as population ecology, community ecology, and ecosystem ecology, and discuss the key concepts and theories that underpin these areas.
The essay should then focus on the importance of ecology in understanding the natural world and its processes. The writer should highlight the ways in which ecological research has contributed to our understanding of topics such as climate change, biodiversity, and conservation biology, and explain the practical applications of ecological research in areas such as land management, resource use, and environmental policy.
In addition, the essay should explore some of the major challenges facing ecologists today, including the impacts of human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change. The writer should discuss the ways in which ecological research is helping us to address these challenges and to develop strategies for mitigating their effects.
Finally, the essay should conclude with a discussion of the future of ecology as a field of study. The writer should consider the ways in which technological advances, new research methods, and changing environmental conditions are likely to shape the direction of ecological research in the coming decades, and reflect on the potential implications of these developments for our understanding of the natural world and our ability to manage and protect it.
Restorative discipline is neither autocratic nor permissive, nor is it a combination of the two. Approaching discipline from a restorative perspective is a shift away from traditional disciplinary practices. A restorative approach to discipline concentrates on teaching students effective behaviors and dispositions and helping them to restore damages resulting from misbehavior (Lyn et al., 2021).
Consistent Approach
Consistency means maintaining a restorative perspective about the purpose of discipline.
Consistently believing in students’ desire to be successful.
Consistently supporting students in being successful.
Consistently empathizing with students who have made mistakes.
Consistently helping students to regain regulation, take steps to grow from mistakes, and to make amends with who they may have harmed.
Consistency does not mean responding to every student in exactly the same way. Inevitably an educator’s response may look very different depending on the situation and the student (Lyn et al., 2021).
Proactive Approach
Strategies for heading off misbehavior before it happens demonstrates educators’ positive regard for students (Minahan, 2019). Techniques like collaborating with students to develop class rules, agreements, or norms can pave the way for future proactive strategies and reflection. When these guidelines are developed with students and become a daily point of dialogue and reflection, it helps to cultivate a safe and predictable environment. The values of the classroom culture become visible and important. Consensus is built around the way the class community wants to experience their interactions with each other. The teacher uses tools and techniques for guiding positive interactions and cultivating mutual support among members of the class community (Lyn et al., 2021).
Responsive Approach
Responding to misbehavior is a necessary aspect of any classroom setting. People are imperfect and behave poorly at times. Rather than ignoring or punishing negative behavior, a responsive approach lets students know an educator:
