uestion (100 marks) (1500 words)
Using the concepts learnt (e.g., classicism/positivism, deviance amplification, moral panic, etc.), critique the case of Satoshi Uematsu (The Straits Times, 27 July 2016), who killed 19 residents in a care home where he once worked.
Your analysis must address the following:
(1) Analyse the role of the media and its impact on our understanding of the crime/deviance in question. For example, how did the media present Uematsu and the case? Did media amplify the case? If so, illustrate the process through a content analysis (for example, you may wish to examine the headlines or words used). Was there ‘moral panic’? If so, what was the nature of the ‘moral panic’?
(2) Appraise the classical and positivist approach to this case.
(In your paper, do not focus solely on presenting the facts of the case. You should also write in one continuous essay and not break your paper into two sections.)
Student notes
This question tests your ability to analyse the case using concepts learned in the course (i.e., to go beyond simple facts), to evaluate and critique facts and information, and to develop critical thinking. To do well for this assignment, you must clearly explain the concepts, examine and think through the issues, and be able to integrate the information and analysis into a coherent, persuasive essay.
Remember to include in-text citations and a reference list in the APA style format (6th ed.) (2010). Available at http://www.apastyle.org. Marks will be lost for incorrect citation style.
Student notes
This question requires you to go beyond describing definitions of the concepts learnt in class. You are expected to do additional research using academic journals (from Jstor etc.) and credible news sources such as Factiva, etc. Marks will be deducted if you cite from Wikipedia or generic sites.

Assignment 2 ICT115
A teacher wants to start a Maths Tutoring business for primary-school children in Melbourne. The plan is to start with one mobile classroom in a large bus that can move around different school areas in Melbourne, and then expand to multiple buses, and other large Australian cities (especially Sydney and Brisbane) over the next couple of years. Each mobile classroom will be independently owned and managed, using a franchise arrangement for all the learning materials (online teaching materials, games, and quizzes, etc.) and central support (booking systems, finance management, etc.).
The business will require mobile computer links to all classrooms to access the learning materials (for fast response times, the learning materials could also be cached locally within each mobile classroom) and handle bookings. Most children will use large-screen tablets supplied in the mobile classroom, but there will also be a requirement for wireless access points for the children in each mobile classroom so that they can bring their own device (BYOD). Each bus has a waiting lounge for parents, with vending machines to sell high quality snacks and tea and coffee. Given that the business owner has specific objectives for the business, including the expansion to other stores, it is important that the current business be structured correctly as it will form the model for future franchises.
The owner of the business (Mrs Ada Lovelace) has commissioned your consultancy firm, NMC Consultancy to prepare a formal business management report to explain the concepts of systems analysis and systems design, in relation to their situation.

Q 1: For the requirements analysis you will need to talk to people. Please detail five groups of people you will talk to about requirements and justify your answer?
Q 2: Explain what methods you might use to discover the requirements for this system
Q 3: Provide a 750 word summary answering the question; what is scalability and why is it an important factor to consider when making recommendations to the franchise?
Report Structure The report must be formatted using the following guidelines:

This “Assignment 2” writing assignment is a comparative essay focused on topics encountered in our HUM 111 class. The project will be based on research but will reflect your views and interpretation of the topic. This project is designed to help you stretch your mind and your abilities as an organized, innovative, and critical thinker. If approached properly, it should also be fun!

Choose one (1) of the topics from the list of topic choices below. Read the topic carefully. Write a three to four (3-4) page paper (750-1,000 words) that follows instructions and covers each part of the topic. (The title page and References list do not get included in this word count).

Note: Your instructor may require you to submit your topic choice for approval before the end of Week 5.

For the topic you choose: Establish a clear thesis about your topic as part of the introductory paragraph (often the thesis is the last thing one determines after doing the basic research and outline; however it will be placed in the first paragraph of your paper). This is a comparative essay. Comparison approached properly will require some critical thinking on your part. Use a point-by-point approach for the essay. That means, if comparing subject A with subject B, don’t do the first half of the essay on subject A and then the second half on subject B–that will seem like two (2) separate essays and comparisons will tend to get lost. Instead, you should be mentioning both subjects in most of your paragraphs as you compare them throughout the essay. Comparisons will identify similarities as well as contrasts. Do not try to do everything on your two (2) subjects. You should end up narrowing your focus to a few insights and issues about the subjects being compared. And, from those fairly specific points of comparison, you will develop a thesis and glean some lessons. Follow closely the instructions below for your specific topic. Include a concluding paragraph at the end. This paragraph will, in some way, refer back to the thesis established in your first paragraph, since now you have demonstrated and supported it. It may be here that you also include your observations relating your study to the modern workplace or society (see your topic). Try to finish with flair! Use at least three (3) good quality academic sources, with one (1) source being the class text. Note: Wikipedia and other similar Websites do not qualify as academic resources. You are highly encouraged to use the Resource Center tab at the top of your Blackboard page.

Topic Choices – Choose just one (1) of the topics below: Qualities of the Hero: Comparing Gilgamesh and Odysseus. Write an essay comparing these two (2) heroic figures from ancient epics of different cultures, especially focusing your analysis on the sources about their encounters with monsters: Gilgamesh encounters the monster guarding the forest, Humbaba, in Tablets 3-5 of the Epic of Gilgamesh (see http://www.ancienttexts.org/library/mesopotamian/gilgamesh/; scroll down to the Tablet links; think of “Tablet” numbers like chapter numbers).” Odysseus encounters Polyphemus the Cyclops in Book 9 of The Odyssey (see http://www.theoi.com/Text/HomerOdyssey9.html; from line 105 to the end).

Confucius and Aristotle on Virtue. Write an essay comparing these two (2) ancient thinkers on the concept of virtue or good ethical character and conduct.

Your paper should:

a) Compare the teachings of Confucius and Aristotle on what constitutes virtue or good ethical character and conduct, noting similarities and differences in specific ideas or emphasis.

Focus your comparison on their writings as found at http://www.humanistictexts.org/lucretius.htm and http://www.humanistictexts.org/wangchung.htm#On Not Flying to Heaven. Your paper should:

a) Using examples from their writings, compare these two (2) thinkers on their views about specific subjects and on their approach in explaining and expressing their skepticism.

b) From this comparison, identify popular beliefs in each culture that seem similar and those that seem different.

c) From this comparison, suggest any modern situation in which materialist skeptics confront spiritual and religious beliefs, and comment on the considerations of free expression and cultural respect.

Your paper should:

a) Compare the two (2) rulers in terms of their situation and ascent to power, their methods of rule, and their achievements and resourcefulness, noting similarities and differences. Use specific examples.
