In Rachel Monroe’s Savage Appetites, she outlines four archetypes of women in connection to true crime: the detective, the victim, the defender, and the killer. In this assignment, you will explore your own identification (or dis-identification) with Monroe’s archetypes in terms of your own relationship to true crime. In essence, this assignment is a hybrid of personal narrative and literary analysis, resulting in a cohesive argument.You do not have to identify with any of the archetypes. You are encouraged to challenge, reframe, question, or otherwise interrupt Monroe’s framework. For example, you might partially identify with all four archetypes in different ways in different moments, identify with none of them and introduce a fifth archetype, find shortcomings with Monroe’s definition of an archetype and offer your own angle on that archetype, respond in the hypothetical (“If book X had done A & B, then….”), or any other approach that authentically speaks to your understanding of, perspective on, and engagement with true crime.To demonstrate your argument, you will provide a sustained and complex engagement with and close reading of Monroe’s book and at least two other books from our class, one of which must be something you did not write about in either the literature review or the definitional argument; you will draw from a minimum of four secondary (scholarly/critical) sources to augment your analysis, one of which must be a peer-reviewed journal article. Additional evidence can come from any genre, either from our class or not, including podcasts, documentaries, social media, trending stories, personal experiences, and other mediums of “true crime” broadly construed. Your identity—your background, your race/class/gender/country or state of origin/etc—occupies an important place in this assignment. With this in mind, careful use of first person is a must, as is artfully constructed anecdotal evidence. At the same time, the assignment calls for complex analysis of true crime texts and the manner in which you engaged with these texts. Therefore, the assignment demands a sophisticated and nuanced blend of scholarly and personal writing.I recommend you go back through your notes to see how you responded to certain moments in the books we read. Look at your live tweets. Think about how you position yourself when reading the news. Really reflect on where you see yourself, how you feel connected or disconnected to the stories told in true crime, when you felt moments of resistance, camaraderie, guilt, identification, pain, resentment, fear, anger, optimism, and other important responses to this complex genre.tl/dr: where are you in these true crime texts?

Procedure: Students will work independently to develop a presentation for their peers in the course. Presentations should be based on research, not only on personal opinion or conjecture. Each presentation must include a title page, an agenda, at least one activity, reference page and any other materials and resources necessary to conduct a 10 minute presentation. Voice narration or video recorded presentation content can be included as well. Students will post their presentation for all course participants to the Discussion Board. The due dates are listed on the Course Content and Outline.Evaluation: Students will earn up to 65 points on this assignment. All materials for your presentation must follow APA style and be submitted to the Discussion Board on the Canvas site by the dates given. Please save your file using the following format: SDS 4410 Presentation_Your last name (e.g.: SDS 4410 Presentation_Smith).

You are responsible for submitting 2 items: a paper and an R script file.
Paper

Your figures will not contain any other part of RStudio. Do not include images of programming code, nor programming code in your paper. That information is only needed in the R script you submit. This is not a ‘how-to’ in R.
When you document your work in your paper, provide an interpretation of every figure in your paper. Label every figure with the word “Figure” and a numeric index, like Figure 1, followed by Figure 2. Keep your figures left-align. When you provide your interpretations, make sure to include what figure you are referring to. For example, “Shown in Figure 1, there is” or your interpretation, followed by “(see Figure 1).” When documented this way, it’s similar to the formatting of a citation, within the confines of parentheses, and within the ending punctuation. The figure annotation is in bold letters. the following line is the title of the figure; it is in italics and not bolded. These both will be entered as text in your paper, not included with the visualization in R.
All figures in the paper must be key findings. There should be many more visualizations in the programming than there are in the paper.
When providing your interpretations use real words. Don’t use the capitalization shown in the variable names, nor the variables names, unless it is also a word. For example, population represents both a real word and a variable. However, median_household_income is not a word, it is only a variable name and should not be found in your paper. You can refer to the data in this field with the words median household income, without the underscore, or you could define that income represents median household income than just refer to it as income.

Script file

This file should contain everything needed to run the file. If there were steps taken from the original data set and it was modified in the previous homework submission, include that programming code in this script file. All libraries should still be found in one place, near the top of the script file, after the leading comments required in every script file.
The programming should include the questions you posed to yourself that led your visualizations in the comments.
You will more visualizations in your programming than in your paper. If you find that a visualization of data is not meaningful, you can annotate that in comments in your programming, but don’t include that visualization in your paper.
Don’t leave incomplete programming code in your script file. 
You may receive a warning when you submit your work. This warning indicates that R script files are not checked by SafeAssign. It does not prevent you from submitting.

Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to explore the importance of using professional communication and medical terminology and how it influences patient safety. In the presentation the student will need to verbally demonstrate rationale of how the chosen topic can be influenced by using professional communication and accurate medical terminology.
Process:

Reflect upon what was learned in relation to the use of professional communication and accurate medical terminology.
Select a topic of interest to you that deals with safety concerns when medical terminology is not appropriately used during communication. This can be based on what you have read, experienced, or witnessed.    
Create a PowerPoint slide show that tells the story of a situation of why the medical terminology caused a safety concern. While there is no minimum or maximum on the number of slides, it is suggested the length should be between four and ten slides, excluding the title slide.  The content should include:
A list of medical terms with definitions that were a safety concern in your story.
The selected safety issue story and its relevance to medical terminology.
The selected safety issue story and its relevance to communication.  
Suggestions for how appropriate terminology could improve with situation. 
Using the notes feature in the PowerPoint Program, describe the information on the slide. Complete the note section using complete sentences and using proper grammar.
Include pictures, websites and Organizations that represent the selected topic and the role in patient safety. Be creative!
Create a vocal recording of the PowerPoint. See the Canvas course page for directions on how to create the vocal recording.
A minimum of 3 credible resources from literature should be used to support your presentation. See below for what constitutes credible literature resources.  The resources page should be submitted in a separate word document.  APA format should be used when citing the resources.   
This PowerPoint assignment is worth 35 points and is weighted 20% of the final grade in this course.

Credible resources:
The following are general guidelines that should be followed to determine if a source is credible.  While credible sources may fall outside of these guidelines, they should be used cautiously.

Scholarly journals
Books, including textbooks
Web sites that end in .gov; .edu; .ac.; or are sponsored by a credible organization such as American Nurses Association, American Psychological Association, etc.
While other sources can be acceptable, use them cautiously. They may be credible if they contain:

An author
A date
The source or organization is listed
Does it include a reference list

BRAVE NEW WORLD, Chapters 13-18Please answer the following questions about our final chapters of Brave New World. One to two paragraphs for each question should suffice.Chapter 13:Why does the Savage behave as he does when Lenina tries to seduce him? What was your reaction to this scene, to the Savage’s treatment of Lenina in general?Chapters 14/15:After the Savage watches his mother Linda die in Chapter 14, he stumbles upon a soma distribution for a crowd of adult Delta “twins.” His reaction is fierce: “Twins, twins…Like maggots they had swarmed defilingly over the mystery of Linda’s death. Maggots again, but larger, full grown, they now crawled across his grief and his repentance.” He reacts by throwing all their soma out the window. Why does the Savage find the drug soma to be so terrible?Chapters 16/17:In Chapters 16 and 17, the Savage, Bernard, and Helmholtz, meet with Mustapha Mond (one of the “World Controllers”) to learn of their “punishment” for not conforming to civilization (Bernard and Helmholtz will be sent to an “island” to live, and the Savage will stay behind “for observation”). During these chapters we learn a lot about WHY the society of Brave New World was designed the way it was. Beauty, science, God, nobility, heroism, art, romantic love, family love, passion, etc. are all considered to be “politically inefficient.” These things interfere, according to Mond, with societal stability.As he says on page 220:“…The world’s stable now. People are happy; they get what they want, and they never want what they can’t get. They’re well off; they’re safe; they’re never ill; they’re not afraid of death; they’re blissfully ignorant of passion and old age; they’re plagued with no mothers or fathers; they’ve got no wives or children, or lovers to feel strongly about; they’re so conditioned that they practically can’t help behaving as they ought to behave. And if anything should go wrong, there’s soma….”Does the description above sound like a “happy” and “stable” society to you? Certainly, the society Mond describes is comfortable, with every “need” met, but does happiness involve something different than comfort and safety, in your view? Please be specific with your response.Chapter 18: Why does the Savage commit suicide at the end of the novel? Were you surprised that he did this?COOL WORDS TO LOOK UP/GROW YOUR VOCABULARY (Optional content)Abstemious (193)Moribund (198)Flaccid (203)Truculent (203)Ignoble (204)Ordure (204)Propitiatingly (211)Ardor (212)Carapace (212)Wanton (213)Flivvers (221)Chary (225)Galvanize (226)Paroxysm (226)Approbation (229)Postulates (236)Providence (236)Flagrant (247)
