Description
Hi guys,
Here you have your final questions. Five questions, minimum 500 words each. I do not know what kind of files Blackboard accepts, but you should use ONLY .doc and pdf, so please use them and AVOID any other kind of files.
To answer the questions, use your text. Read the parts that you need, and then answer using your own words. Do not copy the whole questions on your document; just write their number (Question number 1 etc.). Of course you can use whatever you wrote in the Discussion Boards. Just DO NOT COPY the writings of other classmates: this would be plagiarism.
The not-so-hidden purpose of this assignment is to help you guys to reinforce what you have learned so far. If you need to quote from the texts, make sure you put them between commas: “” .Then put the details (author of the statement, source, page) between parentheses (), right after the quote. A quote can make up no more than 15% of your answer. Cheating is a very serious matter. Plus keep in mind that I consider cheating also copying your answers from your classmates. If I see two assignments that look alike, I will have to fail both.
In answering every question, start with a quotation from the text, and build your answer on it. You should elaborate a little bit, summarizing what you read on the materials. So: more or less 350 words should be devoted to summarizing the content of your textbook, while 150 should be used to state your opinion about the topic. One way to do that could be using one of the following questions: What were your thoughts on the subject before reading and how have they changed? What conclusions can be drawn from the reading? Of course 500 (350 + 150) words is the minimum; feel free to go beyond that minimum, if you need it. Deliver your assignment on time, uploading it on Blackboard. No assignments will be accepted after Wednesday December 20 at midnight.
DON’T MAKE ME CHASE YOU. It is your responsibility to upload your assignments ON TIME and to MAKE SURE that the whole file is there (sometimes Blackboard cuts off parts of the assignment, so make sure it is complete; I will grade what I find, no matter what).
Here you have the questions (all based on the texts):
Describe and explain the four types of political violence. Elaborate. (file “Political violence”)
What are the 4 elements of the mass movements? Why the Soviet Revolution is called “Theoretical Revolution”? (file “Political violence2”)
Summarize and compare the Genocide in Rwanda and the war in Bosnia and explain the causes. (file “Political violence2”)
What are the psycho-cultural, microsocial and macrosocial roots of violence in America? (file “Violence in the US”)
What are the main traits of psychopaths? And what about the main categories of serial killers? (file “Violence in the US2”, plus the last three files).
