Analyze documents: from Modern Japan: A History in Documents
Chapter 6: The Dark Era: 1930-45 After doing the readings and when assigned movies and documents, please join the conversation with the TeaMasters! Remember we are all learning from one another, expand on the conversation, provide facts and links 🙂 Do not summarize readings here, the idea is to analyze them by discussing them.
**NOTE: when discussing documentaries, and movies look for elements that confirm or expand on the themes from the readings rather than merely pointing out the plot.**
More than just thinking about the plot, you need to look at every detail so that you can compare how characters dress, do elders and youth dress alike? Consider the architecture, how are spaces designed, what spaces are occupied by whom? Is there a difference between genders, authorities, young/elders or do they all occupy the same place? Who gets up first at the table, who serves? Are characters taking turns to speak, which lines does each say, who has the last word, etc? & finally… what does it all mean? How do your observations relate to the content of the course?

ScenarioThe community of Greenburg is located near sea level at the base of a snow-capped mountain, on a secluded ocean inlet, surrounded by rugged, forested land. The only access to the city is by ferry or plane; no roads connect it to other communities in the region. Winters are wet, mild, and long. The city serves as the capital for the state of Newbridge. As such, government agencies are its leading employer, though tourism is also a major source of income, followed by commercial fishing. The city is renowned for its scenic beauty; tall mountains capped by glaciers can be seen from downtown.
Population: 32,000
Avg. High Temp (Dec): 34oF
Avg. High Temp (June): 62oF
Annual Precipitation: 62 in.
Urban Area: 15 sq. mi.
Main Power Source: natural gas
InstructionsConstruct a plan for sustainable energy for the hypothetical city of Greenburg. Your plan should consist of the following elements:
Specific measures to promote energy conservation measures (e.g., promoting biking by implementing a bicycle sharing program)
Specific steps to move the city toward sustainable energy production (e.g., solar facilities/greenhouses/community food production)
Consider actions that involve switching from traditional (non-renewable) energy sources to renewable sources, for both vehicles and buildings/homes
Reducing energy will help, but your plan should include a detailed plan that will move the city forward using renewable energy

Please can someone explain what a case study should look like for IBDP in global poiltics. Would you be able to please share an example.

Examining Nursing Specialties
I have chosen Psychiatry and Mental Health Nursing (PMHN) as my specialty within the program. This is because of my passion for addressing the mental healthcare needs of individuals. As a psychiatric nurse, I will have the opportunity to provide holistic care to patients with mental health disorders and help them achieve mental wellness, which I find extremely fulfilling (Bickford et al., 2015). Initially, I had a difficult time choosing between other nursing specialties, such as medical-surgical and pediatric. However, after shadowing a psychiatric nurse and spending time in a mental health clinic (Bickford et al., 2015). I developed an awareness of the importance of this section of medical care. Mental health specialists provide a level of care that significantly empowers the lives of individuals with mental health needs. I also realized the significant impact that mental health conditions have on a person’s life and the need for a specialized and compassionate approach to their care. This experience, coupled with my strong communication and empathy skills, cemented my decision to pursue mental health nursing as my specialization.
The American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA) is a professional organization affiliated with my chosen specialty. Founded in 1986, APNA is the largest professional membership organization of psychiatric-mental health nurses (Foster et al., 2019). I look forward to becoming a member of this organization because it shall act as a stepping stone to achieving my goals. For instance, as a member of APNA, I will have access to various educational resources, networking opportunities, and support to enhance my knowledge and skills in mental health nursing (Foster et al., 2019). It shall also pave the way for me to attend conferences, workshops, and webinars to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in my chosen field.
Based on the research that I have conducted, I understand the basic requirements needed for a person to become a member of APNA. The organization dictates that one must first have an active RN license and pay a membership fee. The fee ranges from $50-$185 depending on the membership level (Foster et al., 2019). APNA offers four levels of membership based on career status, including student, RN, and associate or advanced practice. I will be eligible for RN-level membership as a registered nurse working in mental health (Foster et al., 2019). Upon joining, I will have access to various resources, including online discussion forums, career development tools, and publications related to mental health nursing practice.

Answer the following prompt: Why are international, regional, and/or nongovernmental institutions important in global politics?
450-500 words
Focus on international and regional institutions
Argue they are important (May not always be successful but important)
Examples to use: Regional: EU and AU
International: UN
International institutions are important because they give a platform for countries to meet and solve world problems
Important because we are globalized and can’t have the mindset of “Not my country, not my problem”
Regional institutions are important because they give a platform to smaller countries. For example, the EU can have a voice for the smaller counties
Only quote the attached sources
The most important aspect of this is to formulate a cohesive argument. Choose portions of the readings for citation purposes that you are able to explain in your own words. Simply copying and pasting numerous readings does not equal points. Doing so may take away from your argument if you are unable to coherently explain them. Rather, using these readings to assist and bolster your argument is the goal.

ScenarioYou have been hired as an environmental scientist for a local firm. For your first project, you are asked to construct a food resiliency plan for your firm. Given our changing global climate, growing population, overuse and scarcity of resource, such a management plan for the production and distribution of food is crucial. The goal of this proposed plan is to reduce waste and CO2 emissions contributed by your firm.
InstructionsConstruct a detailed management plan for food resiliency. Your plan should consist of three separate paragraphs, (5-7 sentences in length) and should contain the following elements:
Your first paragraph should specify where and how your company will source its food given a goal year (e.g., 2030).
This paragraph should consider measures to promote a fluid and organized plan for food resiliency that is realistic and achievable by the end goal (e.g., aquaponics/vertical farms sourced from local community centers to give residents access to fresh, organically grown produce).
Your second paragraph should specify steps or measures that will be taken to move the firm towards this food resiliency plan.
This paragraph should highlight the phasing out of foods sourced from farms that use pesticides/chemicals.
Your third paragraph should discuss the potential reduction in food miles and CO2 emissions that would be achieved by the end date.
This paragraph should highlight the end goal of reducing food miles and reducing CO2 emissions through sourcing food from local sources.
ResourcesInternational Institute for Environment and Development This resource discusses recycling, reusing, and the combining of resources to reduce food miles and reliance upon fossil fuels in sourcing and transporting food.
U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit This resource details the steps to food resilience at the individual and community levels, including data and case studies from different regions of the world.

Exceptionalism: the theory that the United States is “qualitatively
different” from other states. Puritans believed God had made a covenant
with their people and had chosen them to provide a model for the other
nations of the Earth. One Puritan leader, John Winthrop (see “A Modell
of Christian Charity,” 380ff), metaphorically expressed this idea as a
“City upon a Hill”—that the Puritan community of New England should
serve as a model community for the rest of the world (p. 389, top; see
also Matthew 5: 14-15 “You are the
light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people
light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives
light to all in the house”). (Utopianism: An attempt to construct
an ideal community or society.) The “City on a Hill” metaphor is often
used by proponents of exceptionalism. The Puritans’ deep moralistic
values remained part of the national identity of the United States for
centuries, remaining influential to the present day.
Bradford’s history is not just a chronicle or a log of events. It is a history, an interpretation, a search for the meaning of these events, an argument for a particular theological explanation of events.

story: first slavery/persecution, then Exodus, then wandering in the
wilderness, finally entrance to the “Promised Land”
Providence:
God’s intervention in the events of the world. A guiding concept for
Puritans. In its simplest terms, God rewards virtue with
blessing/prosperity, and God punishes wickedness with
hardship/poverty/illness. See the anecdote of the Profane Sailor (pg. 400). A kind of template for how events conform neatly to his beliefs and the Puritan utopian project.
