The essay should demonstrate college-level writing and offer a substantial and interesting analysis and interpretation of the artwork and theme under consideration.The essay should be grammatically correct and use the vocabulary acquired in the class to analyze particular works of music.Need to find peer-reviewed, academic resources so you might not be able to write about someone like Taylor Swift (and I definitely do not want to read another paper on Michael Jackson). That said, there are certain musical artists who have been analyzed by musical or cultural historians and other academics (Tupac Shakur, Lady Gaga and Bob Dylan come to mind) so it is possible to write a good paper on your favorite musician. Just make sure that it is more than fandommake sure you are integrating external critique into your own analysis and interpretation of their work. You might want to explore protest music: from the history of the song We Shall Overcome or Strange Fruit, Linkin Parks Hands Held High, Macklemores Same Love, Lady Gagas Born this Way or multiple tracks by Jack Johnson that address environmental issues. You might want to explore how music affects fashion which means you would focus on a particular type of music: Emo, Punk Rock, Jazz, Hip Hop. You might want to focus on how music affects dance. You might want to explore a more philosophical topic such as how music is used for mental health therapy or how it helps maintain physical health. You might want to focus on how music is used in a particular video game or a particular film or film franchise.
Below is a list from which you will select one topic for the Week Two assignment, another topic for the Week Three assignment, and a third topic for both the Outline of the Final Paper and the Final Paper. The topic you select for your Outline of the Final Paper and this Final Paper must be different from the topics you select for the Week Two and Week Three assignments.

Select at least one of the main domains of human development (physical, cognitive, or social-emotional) for your answer.
How much credit or blame do parents deserve for the way we are? Select at least one of the main domains of human development (physical, cognitive, or social-emotional) for your answer.
To what extent are the lives of adolescents and young adults shaped by parental and peer influences?
Why do we have a need to belong (to affiliate with others)?
What are the factors that affect our well-being as middle aged and older adults?

Are there personality traits related to longevity?
Does bilingualism improve brain functioning?
Why do students in the United States tend to under-perform in math and science?Once you have chosen your topic, examine the various theories of human development learned in the course and choose one or two that best assist you in understanding the issues involved in your topic. In your assignment address the following:Identify some of the major domains of human development and how they are impacted.
Examine the physical, biological, emotional, cognitive, and/or social factors that are affected.
Identify the stages of development that are affected and describe the cultural and historical perspectives of partitioning the lifespan that influence the interpretations of the available data on the topic.
Describe the influences of family, culture, and environment and the roles they play.Be sure to examine the available research in human development before completing this assignment. Writing the Final PaperThe Final Paper:Must be eight to ten double-spaced pages in length (excluding title and reference pages), and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Must include a title page with the following:

Must include an annotated bibliography which briefly summarizes each article including the purpose of the investigation, its methodology, and results.
Rely on the brief summaries of the articles (including the purpose of each investigation, its methodology and results) that you developed during Week Four to construct an organized summary of the scientific evidence that answers the question you selected.
If possible, select peer-reviewed articles that summarize the evidence available in a given field of study (e.g., meta-analysis combines the findings of different studies to uncover trends, commonalities and differences).
Order the articles in the way you think you will discuss them in your paper. Then develop a summary of the scientific evidence that answers the question you selected.
You may reference your textbook and other required materials from the course; however, these will not fulfill the resource requirement.
Must document all sources in APA style, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Must include a separate reference page, formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
You may use the reference section you developed in the Week Four assignment as the final page of the paper.
Students can attend a recorded meeting. If students are unsure about how to locate information about the FDA Advisory Committee meetings I recommend you review the assignment instructions, blog, and postings to the “Course Questions” forum. One particularly helpful post that I updated to fix a broken link is the “FDA Advisory Committee Meetings” post.There is a link to the “Committees and Meeting Materials” webpage. Perhaps a better resource is the listing of advisory committee materials by dates and then committee is posted on the “Recently Updated Advisory Committee Materials” page, which is available from the main page of the Advisory Committee page.Video and presentation recordings are posted under the “webcast information” and require Adobe Connect to review. -Learnings: What did you learn from attending this event?-Recommendation: would you recommend other students attend this event if recorded or a similar event. Listing of Events: see a list of events of selected on the blog post: External Activities Listing.
Questions on External Activities? Check out the “Course Questions” forum with the key word “External Activities” or “FDA Advisory Meetings”
FormatProvide at least the “Event Details” (See step #2) so all users can see the basic information on your post.
Creativity is fine as long as you address all points of the event summary (#2). Blog posts can be text, slides, video, etc, but try to make them display in the blog post rather than be a file attachment. File attachments are NOT preferred as this does not follow the the blog format. Consider your blog readers (i.e., peers and the instructors) that may have to open or download the file. Would you provide an attachment to a blog entry on the web without ANY context
Who Supports Bigger Government?In 2012, researchers at the Edelman Public Relation firm asked a representative sample of 1,000 people in the United States this question: For the country as a whole, 17 percent of respondents said right amount. Too much was selected by 31 percent. Not enough was the response of 37 percent. Responses show a fairly close link between support for government regulation of business and political affiliation. Among people who claimed to be Republicans, 55 percent said too much, reflecting this partys general position supporting smaller government. right amount was chosen by 15 percent, and not enough was the response of 19 percent. Among Democrats, 52 percent chose not enough, reflecting this partys support for government regulation of the economy. Even so, 19 percent chose right amount and 16 percent said too much. Among people who claimed to be Independents, 37 percent chose not enough, 32 percent said too much, and 19 percent claimed right amount. Independents fall in the middle of the road between people who identify with the two major parties. The firm also collected some international data. These results show that Europeans, whose governments already regulate the economy more than government in the United States does, express support for even more government control. In response to this survey question, adults in Germany gave these response patterns: 44 percent, not enough; 16 percent, right amount; 28 percent, too much. In Spain, the comparable data were 69 percent, 16 percent, and 9 percent. Political attitudes in Europe are more left-leaning than they are in the United States. Supplemental Lecture MaterialThe Political Spectrum: A Closer Look The conventional red and blue placement on the political spectrum is too crude to convey the diversity of political attitudes in the United States. As a result, political scientists have constructed a number of more sophisticated topologies. The following categories are based on surveys taken by the Times Mirror Center for the People and the Press, and updated by the author: Core Democratic Supporters60s Democrats: This well-educated, heavily female category has a strong belief in social justice. These left-leaning Democrats are highly tolerant of views and lifestyles they do not share. They favor larger government and support most forms of government social spending. The Occupy Wall Streeters: These are younger people who share most of the political attitudes of the 60s Democrats. New Dealers: Older, blue-collar, and religious. The roots of this aging category of traditional Democrats can be traced back to the New Deal. Although supportive of many social-spending issues, New Dealers are intolerant on social issues and somewhat hawkish on defense. God and Country Democrats: This group is older, poor, and disproportionately black with high numbers concentrated in the South. The God and Country Democrats have a strong faith in America and are highly religious. They favor social spending and are moderately intolerant on many social issues. Partisan Poor: Very low income, relatively high proportions of African Americans, and poorly educated. This traditionally loyal Democratic category has a strong faith in its partys ability to achieve social justice. The Partisan Poor firmly support all forms of social spending, yet they are conservative on some social issues. Democratic-Leaning CategoriesFollowers: Young, poorly educated, and disproportionately African American or Hispanic. This group shows little interest in politics and is very persuadable and unpredictable. They are not outspokenly critical of government or big business, but Followers are cynical about their own opportunities. Seculars: This category is uniquely characterized by its lack of religious belief. In addition, Seculars are strongly committed to personal freedom and are dovish on defense issues. Their level of participation in politics, however, is not as high as one might expect, given their education and political sophistication. Core Republican SupportersEnterprisers: Affluent, well-educated, and predominantly male. This classic Republican category is mainly characterized by its pro-business and anti-government attitudes. Enterprisers are moderate on questions of personal freedom but oppose increased spending on most social issues. Moralists: Middle-aged and middle income, this core Republican category includes many Christian Fundamentalists is militantly anti-Communist and conservative on personal freedom issues. Some Tea Party supporters are moralists. Libertarians: This category of voters is wary of government power, believing that our own government represents the greatest threat to personal liberty. The Tea Party includes many Libertarians. Republican-Leaning CategoriesUpbeats: Young and optimistic, the members of this group are firm believers in the United States and in the countrys government. Upbeats are moderate in their political attitudes. Disaffecteds: Alienated, pessimistic, and financially pressured, this category of voters leans toward the GOP camp, but it has had historical ties to the Democratic Party. Disaffecteds are skeptical of both big government and big business, but many are pro-military. Low-Income PeopleBystanders: The members of this category are young, predominantly white, with little education. They neither participate in politics nor show any interest in current affairs. They lean toward Republicanism. Discussion Questions1. Do any of these categories of people have special appeal to you? Do any of these categories predominate in your local community? Explain.2. Can you think of any categories of people whose views do not seem to be addressed in this discussion? Explain.
