Title: Examining Insecure Attachment Styles in Fictional Characters: A Comparison of Anxious and Avoidant-Ambivalent Attachments Introduction: Attachment theory is a psychological framework that explains how individuals form and maintain relationships based on their early experiences with
The goal of this assignment is to find and describe an example of a fictional character (from TV, movies, books) that is high in anxious attachment, and another character who is high in avoidant- ambivalent attachment.
Please describe the characters’ behaviors that support your assessment of their attachment style (ie communication practices, how they interact in relationships, etc…), providing citations from scholarly materials to support your assessment. Conclude with an argument (linking to the examples and broader research) on (a) which form of insecure attachment you think is more detrimental to healthy relationships and why, as well as (b) provide advice as to how that character might become more secure in the future and how you think this would benefit their future relationships.
Notes:
The two characters chosen do not need to be from the same TV show/movie/book/song.
You can discuss the character’s attachment in any type of attachment relationship (e.g., romantic partner, friends,
caregiver), or their general attachment style across different relationships.
Your page length must be 5 full pages, double-spaced, ‘normal’ margins, 12 point font
Reference page should be in APA format
Title page can be included but is not required. -
“The Impact of World War I on the Changing Role of Women in Western Society”
Instructions: Answer ONE of the three essay questions below. Be sure to take a deep breath and sketch an outline before you start to write in formal style. Remember also to provide an introduction with thesis statement, supporting points illustrated by examples from the course materials, source citations and a conclusion.
You may draw on answers given in the class discussions (your or someone else’s—but be sure to give credit where credit is due), but this essay should be original work and in your own words.
These questions are meant to be thought-provoking. Your grade will be determined, not by whether or not I think you give a correct answer, but on your ability to organize and deliver a cogent argument and effectively to use history to support what you have to say. Be creative, but back up your argument with evidence from history. Use citations!
Consider the impact of the First World War on the place of women in Western society. What role did the war play in deciding such issues as women’s suffrage, and economic and social equality. Or did it play a role? Was the effect of the war a lasting one? Did it have a decisive effect, or did it merely speed up developments that already were underway?
Each essay must be 6-7 pages in length, double-spaced, numbered, include 1-inch margins, use 12 point Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman, and include a cover page that identifies who you are, the title of the course, the name of your instructor, and state either Midterm Exam or Final Exam.
Each exam essay must include footnotes or endnotes and a Works Cited or Bibliography page. The citation style must be Chicago/Turabian. Your instructor will provide instructions on how to cite a source using Chicago/Turabian style. The selected sources must be appropriate to the exam topic, the citations must support the assertions made in the exam, and footnotes or endnotes must be used in each instance where detailed explanations would distract from the argument.
Each essay will include three main parts—the Thesis/Introduction, Argument, and Conclusion.
The Introduction section should clearly state the thesis within the first 1-2 paragraphs. The thesis must be relevant and appropriate to the argument and demonstrate an accurate and complete understanding of the question(s). It should do more than restate the question(s) and offer a brief response and it should be free of grammar & spelling errors.
The Argument section should incorporate pertinent details from assigned coursework and outside readings when permitted. Please make sure to ask your instructor for approval. Do not assume that you can use outside readings. The section must provide relevant historical evidence to support the thesis and the key claims made in the argument as needed. It should maintain focus and avoid getting sidetracked. It should present your answer(s) to the question(s) asked clearly and concisely in an organized manner and it should be free of grammar & spelling errors.
The Conclusion section should be in the last part of your essay exam within the last 1-2 paragraphs. It should briefly restate the thesis and summarize the main points of the argument. It should also demonstrate insight and understanding regarding the question(s) asked and it should be free of grammar & spelling errors. -

Title: “Conservation Genetics and Population Viability: A Briefing on the Frank Church Wilderness Area Woodland Caribou Recovery Project” Course Project: Woodland Caribou Recovery Policy Brief
Instructions:
A hypothetical population of boreal woodland caribou has recently been found in a remote region of the Frank Church Wilderness area in central Idaho. Scientists thought caribou were extirpated from this region more than 100 years ago; however, reliable sightings have confirmed a small population persists in this remote region. Approximately 50 caribou have been confirmed and they are geographically isolated from other caribou populations.
You were recently hired as the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) biologist on the Frank Church Wilderness area woodland caribou recovery project. The USFWS is considering listing the Frank Church Wilderness area woodland caribou as an endangered species because of concerns regarding potentially low genetic variation and population viability. Your supervisor has just informed you that you will be briefing the USFWS Director on this situation in 5-weeks.
The Director’s has identified 5 topics that need to be covered in the brief. Your assignment is to develop a written brief to the Director that addresses the 5 topics identified below. The Director has a PhD in Political Science, but she doesn’t have a strong biological background so you must define and explain key genetic terminology and concepts included in the brief. These types of briefings are commonly used to provide wildlife agency administrators concise and understandable scientific information to inform decision-making.
Your policy brief should have separate sections addressing the following briefing topics:
1. Section 1 – Genetic Variation in Populations: Explain why genetic variation in individuals and populations is important for population viability. Your coursework in weeks 2 and 3 will prepare you for this section, and your week 2 and 3 assignments and week 4 discussion will prepare you for this section..
2. Section 2 – Gene Flow and Small Populations: Explain why the lack of connectivity to other woodland caribou populations is problematic. The Prairie Chicken case study and other learning materials in week 3 and 4 will prepare you for this section.
3. Section 3 – Genetic Variation and Fitness: How can inbreeding lead to population extinction? Is there an example of this happening? Explain. Your learning materials and assignments in week 3 will prepare you for this section.
4. Section 4 – Assessing Population Genetic Structure: How could we figure out how inbred this population may be? What tools could be used to assess the population genetic structure, and what type of information would the tool provide? Your textbook reading assignments and discussion in week 2 will review genetic tools to assess population genetic structure and your assignment in week 4 provide additional information on this topic.
5. Section 5 – Wildlife Conservation Genetics: What management action do you recommend the USFWS take to improve genetic variability in this population and improve population viability? How would their success or failure be assessed? Your week 2 and 3 discussions, and week 4 video lecture will review various management actions to improve genetic variability and prepare you for this section.
In addition to these sections, you will be required to have a reference section at the end of your policy brief. Your reference section should include all references used throughout all five sections of the policy brief.
Submission Requirements
The briefing should be no more than 5 pages and identify and address each briefing topic.
References from at least 10 credible sources should be included at the end of the briefing, and references do not count as part of your 5-page briefing limit. Please be sure to write clearly and objectively. Readers should feel that the report is written by an objective scientist Links to an external site. , and not be able to detect personal opinions. As with all your work in this course, be sure to cite your sources in APA format Links to an external site. .
Your course project is due at the end of Week 5. The title of the briefing should be your last name.
