World Regional Geography
Regional Unit Assignment
Overview
This assignment requires that students either address a major theme from the text, create a country profile for a country within the boundaries of the units geographical area, discuss a regional or sub-regional developmental trend based upon Roslings concepts, or present a major tourist attraction as a significant attribute of national and/or regional culture. There are a few specific parameters:
Country Profile
The paper has four sections:
Section 1: Basic Geography
Write a thumbnail sketch of the country using Google Earth, the CIA factbook, provided material as well as other sources as desired. What is the general climate and underlying topography? Are there major rivers and ports connecting the country to the world? What is the countrys capital and population? Is the country urban or rural and what is the population? Are there important geographical realities that should be noted?
Section 2: Country and the Text
How does the selected country compare and contrast to the major themes presented in the text. Is it true to type or does it prove to be an exception? Use data drawn from the provided web sites as well as others. Students should demonstrate that they read the text and can apply it to a specific country.
Section 3: Factfulness Development
Discuss the countrys development from Hans Roslings perspectives. Draw upon materials found on the Gapminder web site, the power points, and other videos. What level is the countrys predominate level and why? How is the country improving? How does Rosling indicate its citizens live?
Section 4: Tourism
Would you like to visit the country? Where would you like to go? Are there significant places that interest you and why? Use the World Heritage List (listed in the web resources file), other web sites, or personal knowledge as starting points.

Text Discussion
Each chapter in the text presents several major themes of political and/or economic development. Chose one and dig deeper into the topic. Why is it important? How do you think that it will change the region? Do you think that there be any unexpected consequences? Do you think it will be beneficial and why?
Students can also dig deeper into current events or contemporary problems that are affecting the region. Examples are international migration and global climate change. Clearly address the topic, use data from the text and other sources, and draw meaningful conclusions.
Roslings Concepts
Pick a few countries within the region and discuss their historic development from the material Rosling presents. I think that students could compare and contrast three or four neighboring countries such as in Scandinavia, northern South America, or Southeast Asia. When did these countries experience rapid rates of development and why? What level of development are they in now and hoe do you think that it will change? Draw on other material as found in the course web sites. The CIA Factbook is always a good place to start as is the country profiles found on the United Nations web site.
Tourism Destinations
The Geography Department has a concentration in tourism and I know that many students are more interested in the cultural aspects of world than the developmental. Therefore, this is a chance to explore world culture through places and practices. The United Nations lists over 1,000 places on the World Heritage List (link in Course Web Sites) and dozens as intangible cultural heritage. These range from solitary sites in the country to the hearts of major cities as well as both exceptionally important natural and cultural sites. These are spread across the globe and their citations have the reasons why they were chosen. In addition, its easy and obvious to find additional information by searching for it specifically or through national (or regional) tourist information services as well as travel-oriented sites such as guide books or travel companies.
Write an essay that ties the specific site to a countrys or regions history, culture, and identity. Why is this place important? Why was it selected to be on the World Heritage List? What does it say about a nation or an ideal or about an important cultural attribute? You could also address its condition, location, popularity, and future. Finally, add whether youd like to go there and why.
Please Note:
The essay must be between five and ten (or so) pages long following the usual textual requirements (double spacing, 12 point type, usual margins, etc.)
Students should use data drawn from the courses provided web sites as well as others selected by the student.
No plagiarism.
There must be proper footnoting and referencing.
There must be a bibliography
The due dates will be specified on the course outline and on the CANVAS site

Using the Framingham Heart Study dataset provided, perform the ANOVA mul variable linear regression analysis using BMI as a con nuous variable. Before conduc ng the analysis, be sure that all par cipants have complete data on all analysis variables. If par cipants are excluded due to missing data, the numbers excluded should be reported. Then describe how each characteris c is related to BMI. Are crude and mul variable e ects similar? What might explain or account for any di erences?
H0 The BMI is not related to the pa ent characteris cs in the Framingham Heart Study. (Null Hypothesis)
H1 The BMI is related to the pa ent characteris cs in the Framingham Heart Study. (Alterna ve Hypothesis)
Upload the Framingham Heart Study dataset into R Studio. (Refer to Chapters 7 (pp. 127-141) & 12 (pp. 207-209) in Introductory Sta s cs with R or pages 111-122 in EXCEL Sta s cs: A Quick Guide).

Most indemnity plans attempt to limit demand through financial barriers to the patient, such as deductibles and co-insurance, rather than constraints on the provider. Many also require the patient to pay the provider directly and seek reimbursement from the insurer, often with payments less than charges.

Assignment 1: Presentation – Identifying Organizations (Due Week 4).

Overview

For this assignment, we will expand upon our understanding of a social problem through analyzing the organizations that are committed to addressing it. For example, with respect to the social problem of homelessness, we see a variety of local and national level organizations that seek to enable people the opportunity to have permanent housing. Habitat for Humanity would be an excellent example of an organization that deals with such a concern. As another example, regarding the social problem of poverty, we may look at the Salvation Army as a type of organization committed to helping impoverished people, or people recently released from prison or drug treatment, to find gainful employment and reclaim a quality-of-life. Your job in this assignment will be to do your own independent research on two organizations that are committed to addressing a social problem of your choosing.

Your Presentation must do the following:

1. Select a social problem of your choice. Describe two organizations (feel free to do your own independent research on these organizations) that is seeking to address this social problem.

2. Next, analyze two major ways that each organization is addressing the social problem you have mentioned. For example, are they helping to create homeless shelters, are they helping people receive drug treatment, or are they working with state and local authorities to curb suffering in some area?

3. Define four concepts from our readings/materials that relate to your chosen social problem and analyze how these concepts help us better understand the social problem you are discussing. Some examples of concepts are ideas such as stratification, ethnicity, racism, sexism, and others as mentioned in our readings and materials (NOTE: these are just examples of concepts – they may NOT apply to your topic – you need to select concepts that apply to your own topic).

4. Define one sociological theory from our readings/materials that relates to your chosen social problem and analyze how this theory helps us better understand the social problem you are discussing. Sociological theories include functionalism, conflict theory, feminist theory, symbolic interactionism, and others as mentioned in our readings and materials.

Note – you may find our Sociological Theories and Concepts Toolkit to be helpful (found in Announcements).

Do not use unverifiable, secondary sites such as Wikipedia, about.com, ask.com, and similar. Use our course materials, peer-reviewed journal articles from the library, and other scholarly sources.
