South Carolina 29206

Every state has addressed the registration and/or publication of a database of convicted sex offenders returned to parole or probation supervision. Your research assignment is to select a state (your home state, or the state where you live now, or some other state of your choosing) for which you will conduct internet research. Your research paper must cover topics including, but not limited to:

1 Your state’s regulations that are specific to registration of the sex offender, that is, tell what crimes trigger sex offender registration. Many sex offenses fall under the registration law while others do not. Within this topic heading provide a link to your state’s laws which establish the triggering crimes. (In your paper identify this discussion as “Topic 1.”)

2 Procedural guidelines related to the implementation of the registration/registry publication program. Information should typically include: a) How long after release or moving into a city/state do they have to register? b) For how long must they register and verify their address? c) What information must the registrant provide? d) Who pays for registration/publication? Within this topic heading provide at least these three links: a) a link to your state’s law establishing the procedures, b) a link to your state’s offender registry (clearly identify this link as being your state’s registry), and c) a link to the registry page displaying sex offenders who reside within your neighborhood or ZIP code (clearly identify this link as being from your neighborhood or ZIP). (In your paper identify this discussion as “Topic 2.”)

3 What are the punishments (category of offense [felony or misdemeanor and grade or level] and term of confinement/fine) for noncompliance with the registration requirements? (Example: Felony of the second degree, punishable by 2-20 years confinement and a fine up to $10,000.) Within this topic heading provide a link to your state’s penal code, code of criminal procedure, etc., which establishes these punishments. (Punishment for sex offenses is not sought here, only for noncompliance with registration requirements.) (In your paper identify this discussion as “Topic 3.”)

4 Are there Constitutional challenges? Be specific have there been any court challenges to the state registration law? If so, describe the court case in manner similar to topic 7 below; within this topic heading provide a link to the case. If there are no challenges within your state, you may research challenges in another state if you desire. (In your paper identify this discussion as “Topic 4.”)

5 State your belief whether the laws regulating sex offender lifestyle have gone too far. If you believe they have, in what way? If you believe they are reasonable, state why. Use critical thinking skills (defined at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking and http://www.criticalthinking.org/pages/defining-critical-thinking/766 ) to define your response. Your discussion of this topic must contain at least 250 words. (In your paper identify this discussion as “Topic 5.”)

6 State your belief whether legislation regulating sex offender registration/publication is or is not Constitutional. (Ensure you review the Bill of Rights before you give your opinion.) Use critical thinking skills to define your response. Your discussion of this topic must contain at least 250 words. (In your paper identify this discussion as “Topic 6.”)

7 U.S. Supreme Court cases. In addition to the case you discussed in Topic 4, research two U.S. Supreme Court cases dealing with issues related to sex offender registration. In each case brief state the following: the parties to the case and the case citation; the facts of the case; how the lower courts (trial and appellate) decided; and how the U.S. Supreme Court decided if the lower decision was affirmed or reversed, and how the justices voted. You may want to refer to cases decided during 2003 wherein the Court decided cases out of CT and AK (or others). FindLaw.com is a good site to perform your research. Within this topic heading provide links to both cases. Cases decided by a state supreme court or an appeals court other than SCOTUS are not acceptable for this topic; cases must be U.S. Supreme Court ensure your cases are U.S. Supreme Court cases and not a state’s supreme court. Also ensure that your cases deal specifically with sex offender registration and not with a sex offense in general or punishments thereof. I cannot envision a detailed and complete case brief being less than 200 words, thus this section should contain at least 400 words total. (In your paper identify this discussion as “Topic 7.”)

Use the words “Topics 1-7” as your topic headings and below each topic heading provide the results of your research. This is the format for your paper: topic headings, the results of your research regarding that topic, and links to the sites you researched for that topic. I repeat: topic heading, your research, sites researched. (Do not repeat in your paper the description of the topics to be responded to; merely use the words “Topics 1-7.”) APA or MLA format is not required, essay style is fine. Do not stress about line spacing, font size, etc., as I copy all papers into a master Word document for grading and will format them for ease of reading/grading.

Cite your internet resources. You must provide links for triggering offenses in topic 1; your state’s laws for the process, state registry and your neighborhood in topic 2 (a total of at least three links for this topic); punishment statute in topic 3; and cases in topics 4 and 7 above a total of eight links. Additionally you must cite at least four relevant references in addition to the ones required in the topics (links are not required for Topics 5 & 6, you may cite some here as part of the four additional ones). Any information extracted from a web site should include the link following the extracted information. Links shall appear within the topic section to whey they apply; do not put links at the end of the paper; they go within the section to which they apply. I repeat: under the topic, not at the end of the paper (any links appearing at the end of the paper will be disregarded).

Your research paper covering topics 1-7 above must have a word count of at least 1,600 words. Papers which do not reach this word count will lose some or all of the available points.

Do not embed any decorative pictures, clip art, or graphics in your research paper; charts and figures may be included so long as they contain material relevant to the text of the research paper. Remove any HTML code that may accompany text you copy from an internet site.

Before you begin researching or writing your paper, review several sources on how to research a paper and how to write it. This site from Rice University is a good general reference and provides information on format and methods: http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~bioslabs/tools/report/reportform.html .

In this discussion, we will discuss finding design inspiration. In the past, being inspired was thought to be something mystical, bestowed on one from the gods. Though this mystical thinking has largely passed, inspiration can still be elusive. In contemporary times designers must consciously cultivate practices to support inspiration. This is relevant to your career as a professional graphic designer because part of the design process for every project includes researching for visual inspiration. Many professional designers make a practice of compiling design inspiration sources and websites so that when they begin a project or get stuck while working on a project, they will have other ideas which to consult and refer.

Background
DES370_Discussion3.jpg

Design is an inherently creative act. Every piece of design requires you as the designer to artfully weave your client’s message and your audience’s needs together to create a compelling piece of visual communication. As a designer, you are constantly being asked to create new and engaging visual things. That said, the constant schedule of design production can leave you as a designer feeling overwhelmed and uninspired.

One way to counter these negatives is to be intentional about visiting design inspiration sources and engaging in design inspiration practices. Inspiration is not about directly copying someone else’s work rather looking at other designer’s work (either from the past or from the present) to help you generate new ideas. The following five design inspiration sources are especially common amongst professional designers:

Museums (or museum websites)
Design Archives/Design History Blogs
Podcasts/YouTube Presentations
Contemporary Design Blogs
Nature (or nature photography websites)
Historic Design Inspiration Sources

The first three of these inspiration sources are historic meaning they involve browsing design artifacts created in a past era. Visiting museums and browsing design archives can give you insight into how designers in the past have dealt with the same or similar situations. This can provide you with a fresh perspective and inspiration on a design production situation. Listening (through podcasts and videos) to designers in the past speak about their process and thinking can also be inspiring to the design production process.

Contemporary Design Inspiration Sources

The last two of these inspiration sources are contemporary. Looking at work that is being (or has recently been) produced can give you great inspiration as to what is currently happening in the design field and who is working with a target audience that is much like yours. Finally, being out in nature or even just looking at pictures of nature can give your brain a great break, recharging both your mind and your creative energy. You never know where you might find the perfect color scheme, imagery, etc.

Prompt
For this discussion, imagine that you are attending a networking event with several other designers. One of the designers you are chatting with is stuck on a logo design project and has become very discouraged. He is feeling totally uninspired and is considering telling the client he cannot complete the project because he has no more good ideas.

How might you explain why is it important to look outside yourself for inspiration?
Taking into account what you know about design inspiration, how might he apply any of the three historic and two contemporary design inspiration sources on design production?
Why can looking to historical sources for inspiration stimulate creativity?
Why can looking to contemporary sources for inspiration stimulate creativity?
For your citation, you might use articles that show examples of the importance of inspiration in the graphic design practice. You can also find articles from experts that suggest where to find design inspiration.

Your initial and reply posts should work to develop a group understanding of this topic. Challenge each other. Build on each other. Always be respectful but discuss this and figure it out together.

DISCUSSION-2
Week 3 Discussion – The Consumer Decision Making Process
Learning Objectives Covered
1. Identify and describe the five steps in the consumer decision making process

Background
wk3_MAN230_D.gif

The Consumer Decision Making Process
Think about a recent purchase that you made. Did you start out with a problem or need? How did you determine what product you wanted to purchase? Did the product you purchased end up filling your needs?

To determine how to connect with a consumer audience, marketers need to understand the consumers behavior. Its their goal to get inside the head of a consumer. What motivates the consumer to go out and make a purchase? Why might they choose a particular product over another? Why might a customer be satisfied with their purchase or why might they choose to return it? The consumer decision making process brings to light the need or desire for products. Many purchases are made without a second thought. Some, however, take much thought and investigation. The consumer decision making process consists of five steps:

Need recognition
Information search
Evaluations of alternatives
Purchase
Post-purchase behavior
Please review the video below to go in-depth on the 5 steps of the consumer decision-making process:

Consider how this information could be helpful to a new small business. What are some best practices they could use to influence their potential consumers to do business with them?

Factors that Influence Decision Making
There are several factors that impact and influence consumer decision-making. Consider your own buying behaviors. When you were growing up, did your personal values, teachers or other cultural factors impact what brands you chose to buy? What about social factors? Where you ever influenced by your parents or friends? Personal or individual factors that could influence decision-making include gender, age, family life cycle stage, personality, self-concept, and lifestyles. Consider these questions while you watch the video Key Factors that Influence the Buying Decisions of Consumers.

With the emergence of social media, word travels fast! We are able to connect with many individuals and share our thoughts and opinions even more quickly. Advertisements have become common on Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram. There are even social media influencers who are paid by companies to encourage their followers to purchase their products. While reading the below article, consider the influence social media has had on your buying decisions.

Buyers Remorse
Buyer’s remorse is a phenomenon that occurs more often than business owners and corporations would like. It can occur when a customer is sold something (large or small) and after purchasing it and thinking about how they may not truly need or want it, they feel remorse or even anger. The customer may choose to return the product, write a negative review or discuss their dissatisfaction with other consumers. Buyers remorse is often caused by dissonance, which is conflict or tension within the consumer as they consider a purchase. Please read this article which will discuss the concepts of dissonance and buyers remorse as well as what marketers can consider to try to avoid it:

What is Dissonance in Marketing? (431 words)

Prompt
Many of you have purchased or plan to purchase a new vehicle. This process can be very trying and lengthy. Using the five steps in the consumer decision-making process discuss each step as related to purchasing a vehicle. It can be new or used, you choose the features, specifications and price.

For your citation, you might use articles that show the steps in the consumer decision making process. You can also find articles from experts that discuss the impact of making purchases without prior consideration. You will also cite and reference the source for the information on the vehicle type and final choice.

Your initial and reply posts should work to develop a group understanding of this topic. Challenge each other. Build on each other. Always be respectful but discuss this and figure it out together.

1) Choose a sexual practice or an event associated with sex from Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire, and explain how it shaped their respective historical narratives (how history was recorded or told by the historians/philosophers/writers of Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire). Make sure that you use specific examples, and connect them to your theme, as well as history.
2) Compare and contrast the depictions of the human body during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Be sure to explain those images in their contexts (i.e. the political, social, economic, technological, and religious), and follow a theme. This is a very broad topic that gives students the considerable latitude to follow a theme of their interest. However, not all students like that approach, and prefer more structure. Those students should contact the Instructor, who will provide them with a number of suggestions from which they can choose.

It is important to study the Stanford Prison Experiment because it is considered one of the most unethical experiments ever conducted.
The availability of a documentary produced by the project leader, Phillip Zimbardo himself, is due to the rigorous documentation taken place during the experiment, and provides us with the opportunity to not only talk about the experiment, but to watch it.
It is important to understand that this experiment talks about humanity. It demonstrates that we are all capable of behaviour that we may not think possible, but that we do not have to choose that behaviour.

Any change management plan must take into account the culture of an organization. For instance, some organizations prize the inclusion of their employees in all aspects of operations, while other organizations have a top-down approach to management. Creating a plan without taking this cultural background into context can be problematic for the success of a change initiative.

In a three-to-five page paper, search the virtual library to find scholarly articles relative to change initiatives which apply to an organization in KSA. Consider the impact on the individuals concerned and the impacts on the organization. Assess the cultural elements that you believe may impact the development of change strategies and implementation of change plans. Synthesize the information and discuss challenges and strategies that should be considered to address (or overcome) these cultural elements which could negatively affect the implementation of a change strategy.

Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

Be three-to-five pages in length, which does not include the title page and reference pages, which are never a part of the content minimum requirements.
Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines.
Support your submission with course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and at least three scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles.
It is strongly encouraged that you submit all assignments into the Turnitin Originality Check prior to submitting it to your instructor for grading. If you are unsure how to submit an assignment into the Originality Check tool, review the Turnitin Originality Check Student Guide for step-by-step instructions.
