Review Chapters 6 and 7 of the Frankfort-Nachmias & Leon-Guerrero text and in Chapter 7, p. 188, consider Hispanic migration and earnings and focus on how different levels of confidence and sample size work together. Review Magnusson’s web blog found in the Learning Resources to further your visualization and understanding of confidence intervals. Use the Course Guide and Assignment Help found in this week’s Learning Resources to search for a quantitative article related to confidence intervals. Using the SPSS software, General Social Survey dataset and choose a quantitative variable that interests you. Using SPSS: Take a random sample of 100. Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the variable. Calculate a 90% confidence interval. Take another random sample of 400. Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the variable. Calculate a 90% confidence interval. Post your results, the mean of Age to verify the dataset you used, and an explanation of how different levels of confidence and sample size affect the width of the confidence interval. Next, consider the statement, “Confidence intervals are underutilized” and explain what the implications might be of using or not using confidence intervals. Provide examples based on the results of your data. Also, use your research to support your findings.

Writing Assignment: Gender & Society Paper For this paper students will explore 1 of 2 topics: Gender, Toys and Color Coding OR Sexuality and the Media and write a 1-page response paper. OPTION 1: Gender Coding: For this assignment you will investigate gender stereotyping and structure and discuss how color coding and symbolism reinforces gender and play. Toys, clothes, décor, and accessories have a significant influence on our notions of gender expression. How are gender constructions changing in America? OPTION 2: Sexuality & the Media: For the second paper option, students will have the opportunity to explore sexuality and the media. Students will be expected to watch a TV show, movie or read a current magazine and identify perceptions of sexuality that are being conveyed in today’s culture. How do images and language affect gender socialization and ideas of sexuality? Do you agree or disagree with conceptions of gender/sexuality being presented? Are they relevant and authentic to everyday life? What are the implications of these images?

Be sure to include specific examples from the text, and lecture material. What is the difference between race and ethnicity? Is there a difference between race classification in ancient and modern societies? How is discrimination different from prejudice? How do color complexes vary throughout the world? Why is ethnicity important to an individual and a social group? Define and distinguish ethnic groups from each other in your own society? What must a cultural anthropologist do to prepare herself/himself for fieldwork? What are the challenges/and or difficulties in fieldwork? How might these affect data? How might an anthropologist’s theoretical framework influence their data collection and interpretation? Use examples from Raybeck.

The concept and organization of global health rests on a contradiction: It may be universal in its aims—to eradicate infectious diseases across the planet and prevent new ones from spreading, to improve generally, on average, the health of the world’s poorest citizens, and so on—yet it must address itself to innumerable local situations, where extant health care capacities, social-political-economic organization, culture, climate, terrain, etc. radically differ from one another. How has the discipline and practice of global health addressed itself to this gap? How have/can medical anthropological approaches contribute(d) to bridging the global and local? Think in terms of concepts, approaches, and methods. Give examples.

First read Topic: Slow food First, explain in your own words what “slow food” is. Second, explain how the preparation of tamales, either as you know it personally (if you have some experience), or as you see it in the video, fits the criteria for “slow food.” Be sure to mention specific details about making tamales, and connect them to specific ideas about “slow food.” Third, discuss your own habits regarding food consumption. In what ways do you honor the tradition of “slow food” in your own daily routine, or in what ways do you not? (There’s no judgment here. Just an opportunity to reflect.)

Drawing from the class-wide household chemicals glossary we have built, you will choose three household products to investigate in depth.  [You are not limited to products listed in our glossary, but it would serve as a useful starting point.]  For each product, you will address at least 2 of the following 3 questions:  a) Formulation – What chemicals constitute product?  b) Function – What is the purpose of these chemicals? How do their chemical properties enable this purpose and/or use?   c) Fate – What happens to these chemicals in the environment after their use? What happens to them?   The discussion of each chemical should be at least 400 words and the entire investigation should be at least 1600 words.  (One page of text, double-spaced, with a 12 point is approximately 400 words.) Chemical glossary: Ceramide Glycerin Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate Lactic acid Alklbenzense sulfonic acid Sodium hydroxide Hexoxyethanl Isopropanol Sodium Monoflurophosphate Azithromycin Chlorpheniramine maleate Phenylephrine bitartrate Loratadine Diphenhydramine Acetaminophen Dextromethorphan Bhr Ibuprofen Fexofenadine Melatonin

Post a reflection on the novel to your portfolio. Consider what you think the novel is designed to communicate to us, and how you think we’re intended to relate to the characters in the story. How does Adichie uses her novel to reflect on and communicate about the world (whether we’re talking about the geographical world the characters inhabit, or their social world, or their psychological or emotional world)? Choose any angle on these questions that interests you. You can use the focus questions provided with the reading assignment as a prompt, but you may also choose to reflect on another aspect of the novel that interests you. Include specific details from the story to support your analysis, quoting at least one passage. Don’t forget to use MLA format, citing content taken from the book with the author’s name and page number in parentheses.
