Name some of the various racial and gender logics at play in the history of Arab and Arab-American racialization in the United States. How is our contemporary moment a product of these historical shifts?

Convergence – DivergenceThe academic discussion on the effects of globalization has been dominated in the last decades by the controversy between the convergence and divergence thesis. However new developments on globalization theory put into question the fruitfulness of keeping on analysing this two thesis as an absolute dichotomy. As an example, Gupta and Wang (2003)* discuss two further possibilities (crossvergence and transvergence):“To bridge the differences between Convergence and Divergence schools, Ralston, Gustafson, Cheung, and Terpstra (1993) propose a middle ground using the term ‘crossvergence’ defined as a value set that was “in between” the values supported by the East and the West. Crossvergence suggests that the Asian organizations would develop a “hybrid” model – blending the best elements of both their domestic and imported ideas (Abo, 1994).While crossvergence offers a powerful perspective to integrate the twin forces of technological capability (associated with convergence) and cultural embeddedness (associated with divergence), it is not the only alternative. Sometimes the managers must integrate global models with their societal and organizational culture. In these situations, a distinct approach, that we term as ‘transvergence’, is needed. Transvergence may be defined as a formative change in the strategic modalities of an organization’s business through a creative reinterpretation and reapplication of indigenous culture and emergent market and technological opportunities” (Gupta / Wang 2003: 69)Question1. Discuss the extent to which a renewal of the divergence-convergence dispute becomes necessary against the backdrop of new developments on globalization theory (Globalization, McDonaldization, Glocalization, Grobalization).2. On the basis of the result of the former discussion, examine the potential of alternative thesis like crossvergence and transvergence and what could be consequences for developing a new international management approach beyond the culture free – culture bound oppositionYou don’t have to follow or answer these questions but it has to be along the line of cultural theories and comparing them.

I have attached my friend’s assignment and I need someone to re-write in difrenent words without plagiarism, and here is the instructions:The Department of Health and Human Services Office of Research Integrity (ORI) has developed an interactive tool on responding to research misconduct. The video follows four characters and what happens to them when they make various decisions related to a case of suspected research misconduct. View the interactive video “The Lab”, playing the role of Kim Park, available at https://ori.hhs.gov/TheLab/. (Links to an external site.) Also, read the introduction and Chapters 1 and 2 of Introduction to the Responsible Conduct of Research (Links to an external site.) by Nicholas Steneck. Prepare 2-3 paragraphs total that answer the following questions: When you played Kim Park in “The Lab”, did you run into any problems? What were they? Identify and briefly discuss the most interesting thing you learned from the Steneck text. What are your answers to questions in the Case Study at the beginning of Chapter 2 in the Steneck text?

you are to create the following three: intervention grid, evaluation, and care planFind a newspaper article about a person (such as a politician, athlete, musician, or movie star) whose ethnicity and/or cultural background differs from your own, who has had an encounter with a system (such as criminal justice, welfare, unemployment, psychiatric, child welfare services, or the like), who also has a co-occurring disorder (such as substance abuse). Choose a theoretical approach that you would use to guide your work with this person, and create a chart similar to the intervention grid shown on page 93 of the text to determine some of the psychological, organizational, community, and political structures that could be impacting this person.Attached in the entire rubric and the intervention grid that is talked about being on page 93.Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in your evaluation and care plan:• Analysis or evaluation of the person’s social, emotional, developmental, and economic needs identified in the linked article• Describes a behavioral-focused goal that is trauma-informed and demonstrates the relationship between the goal and the person identified in the linkedarticle• Describes a service-focused goal that is trauma-informed and demonstrates the relationship between the goal and the person identified in the linkedarticle• Describes specific measurable milestones for each goal including a description and method of how services provided will be measured• Recommends a method of measuring services for each goal

In the latter portion of the course we are going to consider a number of contemporary issues in international relations. Some of them are extremely broad (international political economics, war), others are just somewhat extremely broad (nuclear proliferation, terrorism). Either way, we are only going to scratch the surface of these issues. I would like to give you an opportunity to dig a little deeper into some issue in contemporary international relations. In this assignment I ask you to pick a topic of interest – it could be something like a specific event (a war between two countries, a nonmilitary conflict like Iran’s potential nuclear weapons, etc.) or something broader but thematic (global warming, the COVID pandemic). The key is going to be picking a topic that is narrow enough to deal with in an 2000-2500 word paper (that’s roughly 8 to 10 pages). The topic mus be contemporary. That means it must involve events that have happened after 1989.1) Give a BRIEF summary of your topic. What are the major relevant details about the subject? This should be NO MORE THAN 750 WORDS. That’s why you need to narrow your topic before you sit down to write your paper.2) Are there any relevant international agreements about your topic? Has the United Nations or other IGO’s dealt with your topic? What NGO’s are active in this area and what are their goals?3) Who are the (most) relevant countries? What are their interests or goals as regards your topic? Go beyond just restating what you said in Question 1.4) Analyze your topic from a realist and liberal perspective. How would each approach explain the way countries and individuals have behaved in your topic?5) What is the future of your topic?You should be using academic sources for this paper. That means that while you can consult Wikipedia as a start, you should be using additional sources, possibly including global newspapers, scholarly books and journal articles and government websites. If you are going to use web-based sources, make sure (as always) to consider who the source of the website is. Are they credible? Do they have expertise? What’s their angle or bias? MAKE SURE TO USE IN-TEXT CITATIONS in your paper. I don’t particularly care what format they are (MLA vs APA vs Chicago) just so long as (a) you stay consistent in the paper and (b) I can figure out how to find each source myself if I so choose.Remember that whenever you use someone’s idea, either in a direct quote or reworded yourself, you should use a citation. Using someone’s words or ideas without citation is PLAGIARISM and doing so will lead to a minimum of a zero on the paper and quite possibly failure of the class. Please include a Works Cited page IN ADDITION TO the in-text citations. Failure to do so will result in a 10% penalty.

Search for a case of alleged or proven fabrication or falsification that has received media attention;there are a number of famous cases (avoid selecting a plagiarism case now; we will discuss that topic later, and also avoid using the Han case from Iowa State; it’s been overused).Learn as much as you can about the case you choose. Then prepare 2-3 paragraphs total that answer the following questions:1. In the case you researched, what did the investigator do that was alleged to be or determined to be research misconduct? How was the case resolved? At what point do you think the investigator made the decision to commit research misconduct? Why do you think the investigator made the choices they did? What might have done to prevent it?2. Imagine that a similar event occurred in your own laboratory.a. How could you have detected the alleged misconduct?b. What would you have done once you detected it?3. Talk to your PI or lab mates. Have they encountered questionable research practices from anyone they’ve worked with in the past? How did they handle it? What would they do if they did encounter such a situation? Provide a sentence or two summarizing your conversation.

You will be responsible for writing a paper (2 pages) regarding the Hmong people from the conflict in Laos during the 1960s. Please use a credible newspaper (New York Times, the Atlantic, Reuters, Associated Press, etc.) and analyze the article.-What is the article about?-What are some of the challenges Hmong people experienced post 1960s?-How is the Hmong migration patter similar and different from other Asian ethnic groups?-Where do most Hmong people reside in today?-What will the Hmong community look like in the near future?

Watch: (An excerpt from Illusions, a film by Julie Dash) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd6pcOHd0J0Answer Question: Dupree states, “History is not actually what happened.” What is meant by this statement in relationship to the film clip? What are your thoughts?2.Watch: bell hooks on “Cultural Criticism and transformation” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLMVqnyTo_0Answer Question: What does hooks say about movies? What does she say about thinking critically? What is your reaction to what she has to say, what do you agree with/what don’t you agree with and why? How do her thoughts relate to Illusions?

Apply an appropriate typeface, including size, weight, structure, form, direction, and color. Remember, you need only to revise the bold-faced type.  The statements underneath are there to provide background information that can help you make typeface decisions. Avoid adding graphics – rather focus on using the type to convey your message.You must also include a justification for your design decisions. Include justification statements to clarify why you made each of your design choices.•    You need to explain at least (4) four parts of your design such as the typeface selection, color, weight, form, direction, structure, etc. relating this to what you have learned in the chapter. In other words, ask yourself, why did you chose each item. Explain it. (Why did you chose the typeface? Why did you choose the color? Why did you choose italics
