Each paper must include:
who is responsible for the current opioid epidemic in the United States
“Islamic Law and Common Law are two distinct legal systems with radically different roots and premises” – Discuss.
What is Singer’s definition of sentience? Do you agree that nonhuman animals are sentient too?
Dissect and evaluate about Adults and Mental Health
Discusss points of overlap between Chekhov’s Sakhalin Island and The Duel.
Where does Chekhov come down on the problem of colonization in these works? Is he critical of all forms of colonization or does he believe that certain
kinds of colonization may have a “beneficial” effect (if so, for whom and what are the benefits)? What similarities may be found between the Russian
Empire’s use of the penal system as an instrument of colonization and the more familiar form of imperial expansion portrayed in The Duel? How does the
genre of each work inform and shape Chekhov’s approach?
be sure to state your thesis clearly and use the rest of your paper to provide concrete evidence in support of it. Don’t simply summarize the texts or make
subjective judgements about them (e.g., about authorial intention or the quality of the writing). Instead, quote and analyze passages from the texts, paying
close attention to such formal aspects as language, imagery, structure, and style. You do not need to provide a Bibliography, but be sure to cite page numbers
parenthetically (see link for some helpful suggestions about introducing quotations).

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 8 and review Chapter 9 of the course text. Also, review the following resources:
Visual
The Everyone Lives on Dollar Street
The Dollar Street
Documentary
Cotton Mill Girl: Behind Lewis Hine’s Photograph & Child Labor Series
The Teaching With Documents: Photographs of Lewis Hine: Documentation of Child Labor
Oral History
The Story Corps
The Oral History Project of the Vietnam Archive
This discussion supports your understanding and application of the quantitative method and qualitative method of research approach. In your initial post, address the following:
Differentiate between randomized and nonrandomized approaches to sampling populations. Discuss the importance of the role of sampling when conducting research.
Snowball sampling is a form of sampling where participants recommend people they know as research participants. Explain one pro and one con to this approach.
Discuss the usefulness of pretesting, pilot testing, or field-testing a survey or interview questionnaire.
In some large-scale research projects the researcher is not always the one collecting data but is more heavily involved in the analysis and interpretation of the data. Would this create a challenge in a quantitative study where a survey was used for data collection? Would this scenario create a challenge in a qualitative study where a one-to one interview or focus group data collection method was used? Explain why or why not for both scenarios.
As you experienced in the Week 3 assignment, qualitative methods research can encompass some interesting forms of research approach to help us understand the human experience in society, such as ethnography. In the resources this week we asked you to review three other forms of approach that help us understand in unique ways: visual, documentary, and oral history.
After reviewing the resources provided, describe each form of approach. Explain their unique differences and similarities.
What is gained by conveying human experience via visual or audio as opposed to a written interpretation?
Which form of approach did you find the most compelling in sharing the experience of humans in society? Explain why.
Do you think that these forms of visual and audio data evidence could be more powerful for influencing social change and public policy than written or statistical data? Explain your response.
