A man collapsed in a convenience store where seven other people were shopping in nearby aisles. None of these customers helped the man, with several stepping over him or taking pictures of him. A short while later, a new customer named Braden enters the store and sees the man on the ground. He quickly goes to him and calls for help. What situational and personal factors explain why the earlier customers did nothing but Braden helped? In your answer, describe situational and personal factors that explain Braden’s behavior and the behavior of the customers who did not help.

Popularity of the vampire in American culture
We've examined the tradition of gothic literature which is primarily responsible for widespread popularity of the vampire in American culture. Our image of the vampire can be traced back to these stories, and in particular to Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, which has been adapted into film and television dozens of times.
But as we saw in Carmilla, vampire stories in this tradition have often centered around the victimization of young women in ways that some scholars have worried reflect rape culture, and Dracula may be a particularly potent example of this. So let's take a closer look at how that famous nineteenth-century vampire story has influenced our cultural conception of the vampire, adding another layer to our discussion of the cultural significance of vampire stories.
Complete the following 4 parts:
1 Watch Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992).
You can find the complete film available on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/M1eEE3-kgVY
BUT for the purposes of this assignment, you don't need to watch the entire film if you don't want to. The following scenes provide an effective example of how vampire narratives tend to bleed together sex and violence:
https://youtu.be/M1eEE3-kgVY?start=2401 (watch through 43:39)
AND
https://youtu.be/M1eEE3-kgVY?start=3447 (watch through 1:01:00)
(The video is age-restricted, so it can't be embedded here, and needs to be watched on YouTube.)
2 Write a brief paragraph (75 word minimum) noting your observations about the depiction of vampires in the scenes above (and the rest of the film, if you choose to watch it), and how it compares to other examples of vampires we've studied in our course. Be sure to include specific details from the film.
Post your response to the forum below.
3 Watch the talk by Prof. Trevor Holmes on rape culture and vampire stories:
LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKhAESVEnn4&feature=emb_title&ab_channel=UniversityofWaterlooFacultyofArts
Post a reply (75-word minimum) to your original response discussing something specific you learned from the talk, and whether/how it supports the observations in your initial response to the film, or whether it adds something new and/or causes you to reevaluate your initial reaction to the film. Conversely, you might argue that your viewing of the film leads you to different conclusions than Prof. Holmes.

This assignment includes two closely related (and reasonably short) papers
This assignment includes two closely related (and reasonably short) papers, a landmark paper from Peter Denning describing working set theory and a paper from Carr and Hennessy on virtual memory management. Note that Hennessy is the other co-author of our Computer Architecture text. As usual, provide a summary and your reaction for each paper. Please refer back to the first couple of assignments and announcements for reaction expectations, this is a separate section of your report that is just as important as the summary.
Peter Denning, "The Working Set Model for Program Behavior", Communications of the ACM, 1968.
Richard Carr and John Hennessy, "WSClock -- A Simple and Effective Algorithm for Virtual Memory Management", Proceedings of the Symposium on Operating Systems Principles, 1981.
Most people in business on most days deal with company tactics and decision at a level that is not strategic
Most people in business on most days deal with company tactics and decision at a level that is not strategic. However, every decision made by every employee in a company utilizes impacts excess strategy for that company.

For example, if your original article was about Russian villages and how they are changing
Using the questions you created in Part 2 of the Article Response, find 2 additional sources about the topic of the original article. Summarize the information in each article and combine the information in the articles to form a clear picture of the topic. For example, if your original article was about Russian villages and how they are changing, you will find 2 more articles on the topic. Then you will borrow information from all 3 of the sources to create a picture or narrative for the reader. This assignment does require proper citations and a Works Cited page.
Co-creating a local environmental epidemiology study
You have a choice – pick one article, either:
Gignac et al. “Co-creating a local environmental epidemiology study: the case of citizen science for investigating air pollution and related health risks in Barcelona, Spain”
Krengel et al. “Health symptom trajectories and neurotoxicant exposures in Gulf War veterans: The Ft. Devens cohort.”
They are quite different types of articles, so make sure to look at each one before you decide which to choose. Do not worry if you are not completely familiar with the statistical techniques; the results are clearly described in such a way that will not require deep familiarity.
Write approximately 2 to 3 pages double-spaced and make sure to include your name and the title of the article you’re reviewing. You should cover the elements listed below, and you may decide to add some that I have not listed. Your assignment should be in narrative style, without including a heading for each of the elements listed in the attached instructions.

Perceiving and Presenting the Self and Improving Self-perception and the Perception of Others
What have you discovered about perception and perception checking?
Once you have read sections 3.1 Perceiving and Presenting the Self and 3.2 Improving Self-perception and the Perception of Others, you'll be ready to view the video "The Dangers of a Single Story".
Adichie, C. N. (2009). The danger of a single story | Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie [Youtube video]. In YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9Ihs241zeg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9Ihs241zeg
Video on that link above.
Pay close attention to the following while you watch the video, as you will be basing your reflective writing on:
What does a "single story" mean to you?
What are the impacts on us and others when we live in a "single story" world? (Think "perception of others" here.)
What 4 techniques can we follow to eliminate the mindset of a "single story" in our lives (and improve our perception of others)?
As you develop your responses remember to incorporate your personal perspective with what you have discovered in both the reading and the video.
Spend time on this. Remember, reflective writing gives you the opportunity to think deeply about your learning. You'll want to refer back to portions of the text which have influenced you most, but remember you are not simply restating what the text or video has said. You want to dig deeper.... to wonder.... and to reflect on what you have realized.... what you have "figured out" so far.
This is your opportunity to connect and share your insights. Focus on providing substance and specifics through a minimum of 20 sentences for this assignment.
