HUMAN CIVILIZATION

Professional assignment

From the Olympic games to umbrellas, the ancient Greeks’ influence on the modern world is supernumerary. Using LIRN and the Internet to research and analyze their many contributions, reflect upon what you consider to be their most important contributions in fields that may include medicine, government, education, etc.

Using the Professional Assignments guidelines described in this syllabus, describe what you consider to be their single-most important contribution, and state why you feel this was the most important contribution to society. Then, create a one-page flyer/poster that will advertise this contribution to others, using descriptors which state why this is such an important contribution.

Get creative with your poster. Include graphics and/or pictures, and use whatever software you like. Turn the flyer into a PDF, and submit it with your short essay.

Human development

Professional assignment

Consider the biopsychosocial forces in a relative’s life. Interview one of your relatives or close friends. Ideally the person will have already experienced a great deal of development (for example, someone 55 years or older). Focus on determining the primary biological, psychological, sociocultural, and life cycle forces that have affected the individual’s development.

After the interview, fill out Handout 1-1 (found in PA1 Assignment Template in GAP) and write a one- to two-page paper that discusses how these forces have interacted in the individual’s life.

Greek Influence on the Modern World

Introduce material here… Remember, each professional assignment must have the headings listed below and must be answered according to assignment instructions; each heading is worth a percentage of each case grade and this is how your work should be submitted. Your audience is someone like your roommate – intelligent, educated, but has NO IDEA what the case study is about. You do not want to copy-and-paste the case, but put forth a brief summary so your reader knows what is going on.

This section is generally one paragraph. The easiest way to explain this section is to think of it like an abstract or introduction. If written properly, this section can actually serve as the abstract for the paper. It will, in a sense, set up the rest of the paper, which is the review of the case, analysis, recommendations, and the summary and conclusions sections. Remember that you obtained this information from the textbook. Consequently, you should cite Fiero (2015). You should NOT write According to the textbook as your reader has NO IDEA who or what is that. Do remember to take notes as you read through the case study information so that you are prepared to complete this report.

If there is a second paragraph, it will look like this. The paper should be written in third person narrative and not in the first person. Note: The required headings that must be in the paper are bolded and should be kept bolded. One other note: a business is an it, not a they. Remember that when using pronouns describing a business. Make sure you always include enough text to form a complete paragraph before moving to the next section.

Single Most Important Contribution

In this section, you will briefly describe what you will cover. It should only take a few sentences. This section will answer the mandate, “Describe what you consider to be their [Greek’s] most important contribution, and why you feel this was the most important contribution to society.” Make sure you always include enough text to form a complete paragraph before moving to the next section. One way to accomplish this is to include outside information that supports your thoughts, so remember to always properly identify, correctly cite, and reference this information.

Summary and Conclusions

This section will tie together all sources used for this professional assignment, conclusions drawn from the readings, and any inconsistencies. This section will generally be one to two paragraphs. Notice the paper has a continuous flow; there are no page breaks between sections. The only page breaks occur between the title page and the introduction, and between the summary or conclusions and the reference page. Note: If there is a header at the bottom of the page (on the last line), you will need to insert a page break immediately before the header to properly move it to the next page with its text. All references for the assignment must appear on a separate page (see the following page for an example). Best practice is to always have at least 2-3-peer-reviewed or academic references, of which one should be your textbook or other assigned readings.

Flyer

Text starts here… Here you will place the “flyer or poster about the single most important contribution of the Greek on society today, advertising this contribution to others. Get creative.” You can include graphics, pictures, or other imagery to help advertise the contribution. Once you create the poster, save it as a PDF, and insert it (copy and paste) into your paper in this section.

· If using MS Word, you create the PDF by clicking on File, then Print, then Save as a PDF.

· If using Google Docs, Click on File, then click on Download As…, then click on PDF document.

· Make sure you always include enough text to provide complete information for your flyer.

References

This section will reference all original work cited throughout the paper. It also gets its own page, meaning that it will not start at the bottom of a previous page. The heading should appear at the top of the page (first line of text) and all reference material should be listed below in alphabetical order by first last name. Also, the title for books is always in italic format and in sentence form. In contrast to book references, the title for articles is in sentence format, not in italic, but the name of the journal or magazine is in italics. Furthermore, references are formatted with a hanging indent, meaning the first line is never indented, and all subsequent lines are indented. See examples below:

You should NOT write According to the textbook as your reader has NO IDEA who or what is that. Do remember to take notes as you read through the chapter and assigned reading information so that you are prepared to complete this report.

If there is a second paragraph, it will look like this. The paper should be written in third person narrative and not in the first person. Note: The required headings that must be in the paper are bolded and should be kept bolded. One other note: a business is an it, not a they. Remember that when using pronouns describing a business.
