1. Complete a PICO(T) search on bicycle safety. What does the research say about this issue? Select one of the articles from your search. Identify the descriptive statistics. Is anything missing? To what extent are minorities included in the study? (Is that demographic information available?) How does the descriptive data help you understand the research?

2. Describe the inferential tests that were used in the article that you used in the first discussion (in other words, t-tests and chi-squares). Given the p-values related to the tests, how do you interpret the results? Are statistically significant findings also clinically significant? What are the recommendations based on this paper? Share some alternate explanations (mediating or intervening variables) for the results of the study.

Pick one of the notable pre-war era politicians or social figures addressed in this lecture, and assume their position and beliefs. After introducing yourself, choose two issues of noted presented in this unit (1820- 1861), and provide an editorial response (min 250 words for each issue) that you feel best represents your chosen figure’s perpective during this period. Both responses will be submitted together as one document. You may not choose a work written by your selected figure, two works from the same (other) person, two works about any one issue, or any topics from outside of this unit. Do not reprint any actual editorials from the time as well as it will lead to steep deductions.

Identify a thematic inquiry in Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and James Houston’s memoir Farewell to Manzanar, and write an interpretive argument. Use evidence in the form of quotations and analysis to support your interpretation. Rather than a summary, your essay should be an analytical response that shows your readers–your professor and classmates–where and how the text of the novel supports your interpretation by using & analyzing quotations from the text. Your task is not to discover the “right” way to interpret the text, but to explain your way of reading some thematic aspect of it.
Organization and Support
In the introduction to your essay, describe the thematic inquiry you will put to the text, as well as why this inquiry is worth addressing (why it is significant). Then present your thesis: the claim you are making about the text and the reasons that support it.
In the body of your paper, explain your own interpretation of this topic/question using reasons that support your thesis. This analysis should go beyond what we have discussed in class. Concentrate on showing your reader how you arrived at your interpretation (through your own analysis of the text) and why your interpretation is important. Use details (in the form of quotations) from the literary text for support.
In the conclusion, do not only recap your main points, but also put your analysis in a larger context by explaining what is important about your interpretation. In other words, if no where else in your paper, your conclusion should address the question “So what?” Also, don’t forget to give your paper an interesting title.

Discussion 1. Détente

Explain how Nixon’s foreign policy strategy of détente differed from the foreign policy strategies of the presidents who preceded and followed him. Analyze how effective détente was and what the short and long-term results were. Finally, as Spock from Star Trek famously said in 1991, “Only Nixon could go to China.” How true was this statement and why?
Discussion 2. Containment
George F. Kennan is famous as the author of the Long Telegram and the X article, from which the strategy of containment was developed. Read the transcript of the interview with George Kennan conducted in 1996. Explain how George Kennan originally envisioned that his ideas would be applied and contrast that with how they were applied throughout the Cold War. What criticisms and praises did he have for the applications of containment?
Discussion 3.Establishment and Exercise of Religion
The lack of a national religion supported and established by the federal government has been hailed as one of the most important principles that ensure religious freedom in the United States. In addition, the ability to practice any religious or non-religious beliefs is equally applauded as a core tenant of religious freedom. Still, the debate over religious freedom continues throughout our nation. Currently, numerous organized religions co-exist with organizations for non-believers. In your opinion, what are the essential elements of religious freedom? Is separation of church and state necessary? Does the U.S. Constitution equally and effectively protect the rights of all religious believers and non-believers? Explain your reasoning, discuss why you are taking the positions you are taking in your response.
Discussion 4. Freedom of Speech, Press, and Assembly: Today and Tomorrow
Certain freedoms identified and protected by the Constitution have been the subject of intense political, social, and cultural controversy. The right of all Americans to believe, say, and write what they want, to protest in our streets, and to challenge the pervading political, social, cultural thoughts of the day are the most fundamental of American freedoms. Yet, these freedoms have been, are, and will continue to be modified and will evolve as our nation evolves. For instance, in the last 10 years, numerous types of social media have been developed that have changed the way society operates. New versions of social media, from Facebook to SnapChat, are available at the click of a button – and even on our cellphones. When the Founding Fathers wrote the U.S. Constitution, they had no idea how technology would advance or how this would impact citizens’ rights. Is virtual freedom of speech the same as freedom of speech in other media outlets (i.e., freedom of the press)? What are some of the civil liberty balancing concerns between freedom of speech/civil liberty supporters and security/law enforcement officials? Be sure to consider the Reno v. ACLU case, found in your course text, in your response.

Journal
Leadership Throughout History
History is filled with tales of leaders who were brave, selfless, and achieved glorious accomplishments. Your text discusses how leadership theory has been categorized throughout time, from the culture of ancient Egypt thousands of years ago, to the “toolbox” style of today.
The first category, known as the “Great Man” phase, focused on the traits that make an effective leader. This period ranges from circa 450 B.C. to the 1940s, and includes classic examples such as the aforementioned Egyptian period and the expansive influence of the Roman Empire.
The second category, known as the Behavior phase, spanned the 1940s to the 1960s, and focused on determining the types of behavior that leaders utilized to influence and affect others.
The final category is the Situational phase. This line of research began in the 1970s and is still present today. It suggests that leaders have a broad understanding of the various types of leadership styles, and can choose the appropriate one to handle a given situation.

-To answer the final exam question, it may be
helpful to consider: the legacy of the 18th, 19th, and early-to-mid 20th centuries on the post-Civil Rights period; the role of class; the role of immigration, from the turn of the 20th century through the early 21st century; the relationship between �institutional� and �systemic.� Institutional means institutions, like educational, governmental, or military institutions, while systemic means systems, like the legal, criminal justice, economic, or political systems. Some institutions, such as slavery, support a particular system, such as the plantation economy, while some institutions, such as the Bureau of Indian Affairs, support a particular system, such as the reservation system, or, in another example, the Federal Housing Administration, as an institution, supports a particular system, such as the private real estate market.
-As the Final Exam Study Guide specifies, you must engage with a wide range of the required readings from weeks 1-5. Whether you argue for improvement and progress over time, continued racial discrimination, an increased importance of class over race, or varying participation and opportunity vis-�-vis individual, institutional, or systemic aspects, the idea is to come full circle back to first three readings (and week 1 lecture materials), inspired by the last six readings (and week 5 lecture materials), using the other weeks� materials as well, without rehashing your papers.
