Instructions

Journal Article Summary & Discussion:

Within each module, there is a list of key terms. Each student will select one of the key terms and conduct a search of Campbellsville University’s online Library resources to find 1 recent peer reviewed article (within the past 3 years) that closely relate to the concept. Your submission must include the following information in the following format:-

DEFINITION: a brief definition of the key term followed by the APA reference for the term; this does not count in the word requirement.

SUMMARY: Summarize the article in your own words-this should be in the 150-200-word range. Be sure to note the article’s author, note their credentials and why we should put any weight behind his/her opinions, research or findings regarding the key term.

Make sure to write the information on the author’s credential and why we should place any weight on this author’s writings

DISCUSSION: Using 300-350 words, write a brief discussion, in your own words of how the article relates to the selected weekly reading assignment Key Term. A discussion is not rehashing what was already stated in the article, but the opportunity for you to add value by sharing your experiences, thoughts and opinions. This is the most important part of the assignment.

REFERENCES: All references must be listed at the bottom of the submission–in APA format. Be sure to use the headers in your submission to ensure that all aspects of the assignment are completed as required.

Q1) A recent study observed a random sample of 50 people who had lost their jobs, and recorded the number of weeks it took each person to find another job. The following variables were also recorded for each person in the sample.

1. Age (years) when job was terminated

2. Education (years of school + college/university) when job was terminated

3. Marital status (= 1 if married, 0 if not) when job was terminated

4. Head of household status (= 1 if head of household, 0 if not) when job was terminated

5. Tenure (years): how long spent working at firm, when job was terminated

6. Manager (= 1 if terminated job was in management, 0 if not)

7. Sales (=1 if terminated job was in sales, 0 if not)

You will find this data set in the Excel spreadsheet “Layoff Study Data”.

Analyze the data and develop the best multiple regression model you can, to predict how many weeks a laid off employee will need to find a job. Use the following method (from chapter 9):

i. Begin with the full regression model containing all seven potential independent variables.

ii. Drop insignificant variables from the model, until only significant variables remain.

 Eliminate independent variables one at a time, by selecting the variable with the largest p-value in excess of 0.05. Re-estimate the regression model after dropping a variable, and repeat. Keep going until the p-values of all remaining independent variables are 0.05 or less. Show your model selection process, along with the final regression model chosen.

Which variables remain in your final model, i.e., which factors significantly affect the length (weeks) of unemployment before finding a new job? Why do you think each of these remaining variables might help explain how quickly a laid off employee finds another job?

For your final model, interpret clearly the meaning of: (a) the estimated value of R-Squared and (b) the estimated value of the regression coefficient of each independent variable remaining in the model.

How many weeks of unemployment does your model predict for a laid off person who is 37 years old, with 15 years of schooling, not married, is head of a household, and was employed for 8 years at his last job in a non-management position in sales.

The following transcript comes from the monumental 2008 case of Heller vs. District of Columbia. The result of this Supreme Court case determined the Second Amendment protects the right of an individual to keep and bear arms. Read the statement and then answer the question that follows:Okay. I’d like to respond—certainly, Justice Scalia. I’d like to respond to the point about the—the District of Columbia’s position over the years with respect to the functional firearms ban. The Petitioners have had two opportunities to urge courts to adopt this so-called self-defense exception which they construed in the amendment. The first opportunity came in 1978 in McIntosh versus Washington, where the petitioners urged the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia to uphold the law because it was irrational in their view to prohibit self-defense in the home with firearms. They deemed it to be too dangerous, and this was a legitimate policy choice of the City Council, and they actually prevailed in that view. The second opportunity that the Petitioners had to urge this sort of self-defense construction was actually in this case in the district court. In one paragraph of five to eight sentences, evaluate whether the statement is effective in terms of ethos. Use evidence from the statement to support your answer. Use proper spelling and grammar.

The ethos is the ideology that is portrayed by the case Heller vs. District of Columbia It is theguiding belief that carrying or possessing firearms for self defense is against accepted belief…

I need some assistance with these assignment. disneyland historically speaking Thank you in advance for the help! The park has proven to be more popular than Washington D.C. as a family destination and continues to attract more adults than children to its concrete walkways and thrilling roller coaster rides in spite of numerous ‘copy-cat’ theme parks being erected such as the Six Flags parks or Cedar Point. Although the park has been widely criticized for its inherent plasticity and its remaking of the American ideals, Disneyland has stood as a cultural icon and popular pilgrimage stop for any and all who wish to feel they have ‘experienced’ America. While many may consider Disneyland to be too full of modernistic pop art meaninglessness, others taking a closer look at the amusement park have found an authentic response to the ideals Disneyland presents to the average visitor as compared with other amusement parks of its type.

Disneyland had its origins in Walt Disney’s desires to create a world of his own, in which people could enjoy the good life and live, if only for a day, in a world of fantasy. Disney, a consummate entertainer, wanted to find a way to make his filmic creations come to life for his audiences, giving them a chance to live in the world of fairy tales. At the same time, he wanted to provide families with a vacation destination that was cleaner and safer than the types of amusement parks that were available elsewhere (King, 1981). Disney’s dream was to create a park that reinforced and validated middle-class values and a connection to the nostalgic past through the properties of play. This concept has been proven in sociological research. “Implicit in Bateson’s work … is the notion that culture is built upon the playful capacity since playing is the first step toward learning that a sign is only a sign” (Moore, 1980: 208). Disney largely succeeded. Mike Wallace (1985) proclaims that the park saw 33 million visitors in 1983, with visitor numbers climbing every year.&nbsp.
