 This first assignment is a short position papr. You are given two readings from the publication Great Decisions. The readings for this assignment deal with China and the United States.  Your objectives are as follows: A. You will evaluate sources with events or topics of the modern world for this papr. B.

“China Looks at the World, The World Looks at China” by David Lampton, 2010.

Please make sure you read the directions and papr mechanics below, they are your guides to this assignment.
Directions are as follows:
Once you have finished reading the articles, you have two sections you need to complete. In the first section of your papr, in two (2) pages, you will answer the following question based upon your reading of the articles:  How has the relationship changed overtime between the United States and China?  For the second half of your papr, in two pages, (2), you will take a stand/position. You will need to answer this question: Who emerges as the most powerful economically and militarily over the next decade – China or the United States? Explain.  In short, you are taking a stand and defending it in the second half of this papr.
It is important that you back up your position with two (2) scholarly/academic sources from the APUS library. You will be graded based upon the rubric that is in the assignment section. Please make sure you use the rubric as your guidance.  
Assignment Papr Mechanics Instructions:
     Your esay should be at least four double-spaced pages of text (Times New Roman, font size 12). You will need a cover page and a bibliography. Your papr must be written in a Word Document. You must consult a minimum of two scholarly/academically credible sources from the university library. This means not only are you reading the two articles I have given you, but you will also seek out two scholarly/academic articles to back up your stand on this issue.  Your bibliography and citations may be in APA, MLA, or Chicago Style format based upon the formatting used in your degree field. 
      If you use any of the information from your sources word-for-word, you must cite the source by using endnotes, footnotes, or parenthetical citations. If you read the information and write it in your own words and it is not common knowledge, you must cite the source because you are paraphrasing someone’s information.  Why? This is paraphrasing. You are using someone’s information. This is plagiarism.
So, to rehash one more time, your esay will include the following:
A cover page with your name, course number and course title, instructor’s name, and date.
Four to five (4-5) pages of writing.
A bibliography, formatted correctly, at the end of your papr.
Total count of your papr including cover page and bibliography will be six to seven (6-7) pages.
     While composing your papr, use proper English. Do not use abbreviations, contractions, passive voice, or first/ second person (I, you, we, our, etc).  Before submitting your papr, check your grammar and use spell check. Remember, the way you talk is not the way you write a papr. You need to submit your papr in a Word document.

RESPOND TO SARAH AND CORTNEE POSTS IN A 100 WORDS
 Sarah
Qualitative is the measure of the data’s quality. It can not be measured using statistical analysis and often refers to personal preferences, labels, or anything that can be represented by words. Quantitative is the measure of the data’s numerical values. There’s typically a type of order that can be used to group the values. Although both have variables, the meaning and use of those variables are not the same and can’t be measured equally. The advantages found when using quantitative data are that the information may be represented clearly as a number (quantity), organizable, discreteness, and there’s meaning behind the differences in the numbers. The advantages for qualitative data are being able to categorize and utilize the word value of the data and doesn’t require specific order to properly represent meaning. When it comes to my work, there are many examples of quantitative data that I utilize to properly determine a line of credit amount and when to know to pull back on shipments. The type of numerical data that I use are credit ratings, current balances, dates, calculating how much of their line is remaining, how much is to be received and applied against the account, percentages, averages, so on and so forth. An example of qualitative would be the differences between my girls. My oldest has curly, blonde hair, blue eyes, likes the color blue, and likes to draw. My youngest has straight, blonde hair, blue eyes, likes the color purple, and like to ride her scooter.

Quantitative is a numerical value that is measured and ordered. Qualitative is a category that has variables.
I’ve been a nurse for over 25 years in cardiology and now work in medical eduation. We study risk factors for men and women, age of the patient, in relation to cardiac issues. Those could include hypertension (high blood pressure), myocardial infarction (heart attack), myocarditis (inflammed heart muscle) and a few other more cardiac conditions.
The patient’s age has a numerical value and is quanitative. The others are qualitative data and would be the other catagories such as men and women, family history, smoking history etc. We have just added a COVID vaccine category and a history of COVID sickness. We are seeing an increase in both of those with myocarditis and cardiac arrest.
I would love to hear if you know anyone with any heart issues after getting the vaccine or getting the virus. They clearly have a link in the data we are studying. We are seeing myocarditis in children for the first time so that is new data.
 In response to John and , explain whether you agree or disagree with their conclusions. Provide specifics reasons as to why or why not.

One specific consequence of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King is the militarization of some civil rights groups over time. Dr. King himself was a vocal proponent of peaceful protest; spearheading many campaigns for justice using this method. Often at odds with more militant civil rights groups, these organizations became empowered after his death; becoming some of the loudest voices in the civil rights movement in Dr. King’s absence. The message of these political groups was further supported by the assassination itself; being used to argue that civil rights activism is dangerous and requires more radical action and that strictly peaceful protest is ineffectual.

The assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. assisted in the passing of the 1968 Fair Housing Act, as well as the Voting Rights Act.  His assassination created such outrage that riots and violence were occurring, and I think that the Fair Housing Act was passed to pacify the angry masses. 
“The loss of King as an eloquent advocate of nonviolent protest definitely hurt the movement. And perhaps more important, the wave of racial violence that convulsed many cities in the wake of King’s death shattered whatever fragile political consensus might have been forming behind the idea of comprehensive reforms to address the root causes of racial discrimination and African-American poverty (Garrow, 2004)” (Mindedge, 2022) . I think that these events would have taken place anyway, but I do believe that the assassination created anger, brought attention to the movement, and necessitated quicker movement than would have occurred if he was not killed.

Pick a German artist or architect, or a German work of art or architecture, and do a bit of research. (Certainly, musicians are “artists” too, but we will devote an entire discussion to them alone and their works in a couple weeks so let’s focus here just on art and architecture.) Then, share your research in your own words with me and your peers. First, let us know what you have decided to focus on and what inspired you personally to make this choice of topic. Next, discuss at least three reasons, supported by your research, why your chosen artist or architect, or German work of art or architecture is important. Wrap up your post with a simple reflection on what you consider to be the most important cultural aspect of your topic. Please include images, sounds, and/or videos to illustrate your presentation. Be sure to INSERT and NOT attach the images, sounds, and/or videos. Cite and fully reference sources, including images, with the Author, Title & Date, include links, and put quotes around direct quotes that you borrow. Images also require copyright permission if they are not Creative Commons licensed or Public Domain. For all your German and other foreign language references and citations, you should be using the MLA Style format.
Read your peers´ posts to enrich your understanding of the German-speaking world, past and present. Respond to your peers by engaging them in a discussion of their chosen artists and architects, and their works.
