Create a 12-slide Microsoft^® PowerPoint^® presentation on a methodology you create for assessing credibility and reliability of an Internet source of CAM information. Include detailed speaker notes and reference citations. Also:

Describe how a consumer’s attitudes and beliefs about CAM could hinder objective assessments of reliability and credibility in CAM.

Create five objective criteria to judge the credibility and reliability of a source of information on CAM.

Select a CAM therapy or modality, and research the Internet for websites on this therapy or modality. Be sure to not use the same therapy you used for the CAM paper. Then, perform the following:

• Describe the therapy.
• Examine the type of training or education that is required.
• Discuss whether a license or certification is required to practice this therapy.
• Identify the overseeing or regulating organization for this therapy.

Using your criteria, review one of the websites and determine how reliable the site is for CAM information.

• Explain how you reached your conclusion about the website. Consider using a grading scale or grid for this exercise.
• Describe steps the website could take to increase its credibility.

Present the Assessing Reliability and Credibility of CAM ResourcesPresentation.

Assignment 2 (6 pages 3 references, APA formatted)

Please the attached and incorporate the concepts in to the assignment.

Please watch the following link and cover the points detailed on how to write an ethnography.

https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2014/09/…

The goal of this exercise is to observe a ‘cultural scene’ as an anthropologist would (i.e. based on everything you have learned in the course to-date). The student will analyze their observations in terms of themes from the subfield of cultural anthropology such as how it helps frame our societies (family, lifestyle, lineage, language and communication) and, in some ways, its evolution.

The development and maintenance of culture is what sets humans apart from other species. Culture varies by time and location.

For this assignment, students will be observing a particular setting for 25 minutes, writing up your observations, and then analyzing them.

Directions for 6 page Assignment:

• Choose a time and location for where/when you are going to conduct your observations of an ethnographic scene (mall, public transportation, coffee shop, etc.).
• Go to the specified location and proceed with your observations. Find a place to sit quietly and to simply watch what is going on. Do not talk to or interview people during this time.
• When your 25 minutes are finished, leave the scene. In a quiet place, fill out your notes. At this time, you should start to think about concepts that you’ve learned in class that fit with your observations. This step is critical.
• Write a detailed 6 page reaction paper about your observations

Your paper should cover each of the following points

1. Include details about the scene itself (time of day, lighting, furniture, plants, sounds, temperature, smell, vibe/energy, etc), details about the people around you (their characteristics, their behavior).

• Define and discuss culture you observe
• Include a ‘thick description’ of the location with clear detail of your observations
• Analyze your observations, identifying four anthropological concepts that fit your observations. For example Subsistence strategy, Kinship, Gender roles, Marriage, Artifacts Subsistence strategy, Generalized reciprocity, Religion (mosque nearby with call to prayer), Kinship and extended family, ethnocentrism, ethnicity, reciprocity, kinship, language or communication-
• Define the concept and analyze how it fits your observations.
• Include your field notes at the end and detail and conclude with a discussion of and reflection on your experience of the situation. For example, you might write how you felt when you started to detect a pattern in characteristics and/or behavior.

(One common misstep is to apply the four subfields of anthropology or to apply the four parts of the definition of culture).

What is an anthropological concept? Anthropological concepts are anthropological terms and ideas. Examples of some that we’ve studied include: ethnocentrism, ethnicity, reciprocity, kinship, language and communication.

Assignment 2 (6 pages 3 references, APA formatted)

Purpose:

The primary goal of this exercise is for the student to further examine evolution from the perspective of two subfields in anthropology. The all-encompassing nature of evolution will be illustrated, and students will have the opportunity to explore the holistic nature of anthropology.

Description:

Anthropologists study many different aspects of humanity in order to fully understand the diversity of the human species. One of these aspects concerns our development as a species, both physically and culturally. For the assignment, the student will first discuss and investigate evolution as viewed by physical anthropology, and then the student will investigate and discuss evolution from one other subfield – cultural, linguistic, or archaeological.

Directions:

1) Define evolution to include primate to human and why species have to evolve to live in changing environments.

2) Define physical anthropology. Discuss some of the general ways physical anthropologists investigate evolution.

3) Review the Quantifying Characters: Polygenist Anthropologists and the Hardening of Heredity (attached). Describe the research project and its significance in our understanding of evolution.

4) Review Dispatches from the AIA (attached). Discuss some of the general ways an anthropologist in this second subfield investigates evolution. Detail the evolution factors and significance.

*Remember, evolution can apply to both physical and societal changes, so things like language and customs can evolve just as much as bodies and brains can.

6) Review The evolution of lethal intergroup violence (attached). Describe the research project and its significance in our understanding of evolution. For example, an archaeologist may look at how tools have changed through time, and what has caused that change (conduct your own original research, do not use this example).

8) Discuss how the study of evolution between physical anthropology and your chosen subfield compares and contrasts.

9) Conclude by discussing and reflecting on one new piece of information you learned about evolution.

THE TOPIC FOR THE ESSAY

(double-spaced, 12-point font) in MLA format address the following

In 1903 the following famous poem by Emma Lazarus was engraved and placed upon the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. Think about this poem’s message. Did immigrants’ experiences reflect the hope and promise of this poem? The New Colossus By Emma Lazarus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. “Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

1. What is the message of this poem?

2. Which immigrants’ experiences reflected the message of the poem? Provide specific examples from the readings, films, assignments, and AVPs.

3. Which immigrants’ experiences did not reflect the message of the poem? Provide specific examples from the readings, films, assignments, and AVPs

Find a poem/song which deals with a subject that you, too, have a strong opinion about and write an essay in which you compare/contrast the viewpoint about that subject presented in the poem/song with what you believe.

Additionally, when you are giving your view of the opinion expressed in the poem/song, make sure that you are providing examples from the poem/song that support what you think that the piece is saying. I am not saying that you should paraphrase the song (don’t do only that!) but just make sure that you are answering the question “What is poem about and what does it say about that subject?” as well as “How does this viewpoint compare with what I think about this subject?”

( the song that im using is kendrick lamar- how much a dollar costs censor the profanity and try to tie in the fact that this is how the reaction that most people with wealth would react in this situation and how when we as humans feel like we are moving up in the world we tend to forget about and neglect those in need even though we dont know that persons story)

A note about using songs for this essay: Songs are valid choices when talking about poetry because most well written songs have strong poetic elements….They are pretty much poems set to music.

HOWEVER!..
A. Make sure that you choose a song that, after you have taken away the music associated with it, is still worthy of your attention. There are songs whose lyrics can stand alone as fine poetry and then there are those which, once the music is gone, don’t really hold up to analysis. (Try writing an essay on the Beatles’ “She loves you (yeah, yeah, yeah)” and see how far you get, for example. Great song. Lousy poetry. LOL)

B. Don’t organize the structure of your essay around the structure of the song ( or poem, for that matter). Remember that whether you are talking about your experience or your opinion, your focus in these essays is YOUR response and how it compares to the poem/song

C. Quote the lines of a song the same way that you quote the lines of a poem: put it in quotes and if you are quoting more than one line, separate the lines of the poem with a “/”. For example, “In her poem ‘To a Daughter Leaving Home’, Linda Pastan starts out the poem by saying, ‘When I taught you/ at eight to ride/ a bicycle’. ” See? (The poem itself is in the book on page 916).
