I NEED A SUBSTANTIVE RESPONSE TO THE DISCUSSION BELOW IN A MINIMUM OF 150 WORDS

The arts were a big part of my education from 4th grade when I joined the school chorus all the way through my senior year, throughout which I performed in the chorus, concert band, competition band, and several theatrical performances. My school experienced budget cuts just like more than 80% of schools across the country have since 2008 (Metia, 2015) but luckily for me, none of them affected the arts classes I took. The arts have been steadily disappearing from schools over the years, in the 1999-2000 school year visual arts were offered in 87% of schools. One decade later, in the 2009-2010 school year, only 83% of schools offered visual arts. In the same period of time, schools offering dance and theater classes went from 20% nationwide to 4% for theater and 3% for dance classes. (Metia, 2015) There are currently about 1.5% of the United States workforce whose primary source of income is their art. However the definition of an artist is expanding to include people who “utilize their artistic skills to derive income, further their creative work, or contribute to their community.” This enhanced definition leads to one of the implications or takeaways from the report that it is important to, “articulate and measure the benefits of artists and creative work to societal health and well-being.” (Chu, 2016) The increase in budgetary cuts in the arts seems to be a result of programs like No Child Left Behind and Common Core State Standards that put a heavy emphasis on the core subjects like math, science, and reading. The only pro for cutting funding to the arts that I could imagine is that putting the funding from the arts into subjects like math and reading or other programs, like sports teams, that creating revenue for the school. Emphasizing students studying subjects like math and reading will enable them to do better on standardized testing that the schools give which in turn will give the schools better funding based on how well the students do. “A school that consistently fails to meet adequate yearly progress standards may not be able to access some grants and other forms of funding. After five years of failure to meet AYP standards, a school can be closed altogether.” (Thompson, 2016) My school cut funding for some art classes and put the money into the football team for new equipment and improvements for the field because unlike the arts classes, the football team brought in revenue for the school. There are many cons to cutting funding for the arts and one of them is that the arts have been proven to improve performance in students overall learning. “Students who took four years of art classes scored 91 points higher on their SAT exams than those who took half a year or less.” (Metia, 2015) Students that participate in the arts also have a higher graduation rate and can keep at-risk youths off the street and away from trouble. From a fiscal standpoint cutting funding for the arts makes sense, but the success of the students should be the main concern for schools, not money. It’s truly a shame that arts program are heading downhill the way that they are but until federal funding recognizes the importance of the arts this downward trend will continue.

I NEED A VERY SUBSTANTIVE RESPONSE TO TH DISCUSSION BELOW IN A MINIMUM OF 150 WORDS

I chose to review a TED Talk, because I enjoy watching them in my down time. I chose one that discusses a controversy within one of the humanities disciplines: religion.

The speaker is Suzanne Barakat, and the title of her talk is “Islamophobia killed my brother. Let’s end the hate”. She gave her speech in October of 2016. (Link: https://www.ted.com/talks/suzanne_barakat_islamophobia_killed_my_brother_let_s_end_the_hate/transcript?language=en)

Barakat talks about the death of her brother, Deah, his wife, Yusor, and her sister Razan. She describes the months prior to their deaths. Deah has just gotten accepted to dental school, as well as Yusor. They had only been married a month before they were killed. The three were eating dinner when their neighbor knocks on their door. Deah opens it up and is shot. The neighbor then proceeds to shoot the women as well, shoots Deah again, and then walks out. Barakat then describes the months after, and how when news of more crimes committed by Muslims in the area came about, it effected how her coworkers treated her.

I really enjoyed watching Suzanne Barakat speak about this topic. This must have been very hard for her talk about, but she did it to help spread a great message. I like how she noted the double standard of crimes committed by Muslims vs. crime committed by white Americans. If a Muslim commits murder, many people jump to the conclusion that all Muslims are terrorists, but there are white Americans that kill everyday. Mass homicides committed by white Americans are acts of terror as well. I also liked that she touched on the topic of neutrality. When one is neutral or doesn’t speak up when micro-aggressions occur, you are enabling bigotry, and those build on top of one another. Suzanne Barakat’s TED talk was powerful and I think many could unlearn their ignorance by hearing and seeing powerful things like this. (316)

I need a two to three page essay that talks about the two articles attached files section following the next steps.

(((((((((((((THERE ARE FILES ATTACHED TO THIS QUESTION, THERE YOU WILL FIND THE ORIGINAL DETAILED!!!! INSTRUCTIONS))))))))

((((((((((((I HAVE ALSO GIVEN YOU THE TWO FULL ARTICLE THAT YOU NEED TO USE FOR THIS ESSAY))))))))

(((((((((( I WILL BE USING THE “””TURN IT IN””” SERVICE SO PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR PLAGIARISM SO WE DON’T HAVE TO START OVER AGAIN)))))))

THANK YOU.

Use the following outline to write your paper:

 1. Summarize the peer-reviewed article.

          o Identify the research hypothesis, the variables, the design of the study, and the outcome. 

          o Explain whether and how the outcome of the study supports the research hypothesis.

          o Did the design of the study support causal conclusions? Why or why not?

 2. Summarize the popular press article. 

          o State what the popular press article says about what the research can tell us. 

          o The popular press article may or may not use causal language. Note any statements, phrases, or conclusions that imply one thing causes another. 

3. Evaluate whether the popular press article provided an accurate report of the original research. 

          o Compare the original peer-reviewed article about the research and the popular press article in terms of whether they implied a causal relationship between the variables that were studied. 

          o Describe whether, and in what way(s), the conclusions in the popular press article may go beyond what the research study can really tell us. 

          o Suggest and explain a possible third variable that might account for the finding that videogame playing is associated with creativity .

 Formatting and guidelines: 

 • The final paper must be:

               o 2-3 double-spaced pages long (at least 2 but not more than 3 pages, excluding your name, title, other identifying information and references), 

              o Size 12 Times New Roman font with 1” margins top, bottom, and on the sides of each page 

• Use your own words – paraphrase carefully (i.e., state in your own words) the authors’ ideas. 

              o Copying others words without referencing them is plagiarism, and is unacceptable. When you talk about something that another person wrote (even if you say it in your own words), you need to cite them using their last name and the year of publication in parentheses (saying et al. if there are >3 authors). For example: Jackson et al. (2011) hypothesized that… 

             o Your lab instructor can help you if you have questions about plagiarism or citing authors. 

             o You are allowed no more than 2 quotes in the entire paper. Any quote must indicate the source (or who said the quote). A quote should not be longer than 1 sentence. 

• Make sure your main argument is clearly identified. Give concrete examples. 

            o Make sure each paragraph makes a clear point. Often it is a good idea to start with a sentence that says what you are trying to conclude, and then use the rest of the paragraph to provide your evidence or reasoning for why you are drawing that conclusion. 

           o Make sure the ordering of points from paragraph to paragraph is logical, and that it all connects in a way that would make sense to someone else who did not know what the assignment was, and had not read the two articles. 

• Proper spelling, grammar, style, and writing quality are all very important. 

           o Be sure to read through your paper from beginning to end after you write it to check the spelling and grammar as well as the writing style. 

           o Then, be sure you have followed APA (American Psychological Association) style for how to write a paper. Information on APA style can be found at Purdue Owl. You do not need a  PSY2012 S19 Writing Assignment 1 / p. 3 separate title page or abstract for this paper, but you do need an additional page for citing your references. Your name, paper title, and any other identifying information, as well as the references at the end, do not count toward the 2-3 page required assignment length. 

 On the files I attached I have given you the ((((((((GRADING RUBRIC))))))) so you can make sure you hit the mark on every aspect up this paper.

ALSO i have given you the ((((COMPLETE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS))))) from the teacher ((((( PLEASE READ THEM))))).
