Below are instructions for the midterm. Please answer only one of the two questions (you can choose). It auto locks on March 6th at 11pm. Late submissions are highly discouraged without an official ASU letter of excuse. I will run it through a plagiarism check. The minimum length is 600 words, but I encourage you to use 700 words. Keep in mind you weekly Forum Post, as well — so budget your time accordingly.
The midterm questions have a few parts so be precise with your answer. And follow the instructions below precisely to get the best grade you can. I will be grading midterms and finals with a higher standard than the Forum Posts. Good luck!
Directions:
1. Put your name and ID number clearly at the top of the Word Document.
2. Use 12-point Garamond font, 1-inch margins, and single spacing.
3. Stick to the prompt closely. Make sure you address the different parts of it.
4. Use direct quotes very sparingly — almost not at all. Synthesize the material into your own words (and cite the ideas when they are not your own ideas).
5. Use clear argumentative rhetoric. I suggest using the phrase “I argue that…(insert your thesis).” Or “X argues that…(insert her thesis using your own words). Have a clear thesis and clear supporting evidence.
6. Take the time to re-read it several times to clean up the grammar, make it stylistically formal, and have flow.
7. Have a bibliography (the bib is not part of the word total). Follow the Chicago citation style for in-text citations.
This is very simple. Inside the text, do this:
(Smith 2020: 55) — that is (LAST NAME YEAR: PAGE NUMBER).
And in the bibliography, do this if a book:
Smith, Ann. 2020. Precarious Japan. Boston: Harvard University Press.
And do this if an article:
Smith, Ann. 2020. “Transnational Love in Hostess Clubs.” Lumen 4(5): 100-120.
LAST NAME, FIRST NAME. YEAR. TITLE OF ARTICLE IN QUOTATIONS. JOURNAL IN ITALICS EDITION NUMBER (VOLUME NUMBER): PAGE NUMBERS.
The questions (choose ONE):
1. Choose one pillar of caste (from Wilkerson’s book, pages 99-159) and summarize it quickly in 100 words. Then provide a 550-word ethnographic exploration of that same principle of caste that is NOT discussed in Wilkerson’s book. Do not draw on any examples given by Wilkerson — do outside research. You can analyze racism in the USA or casteism in India (or anywhere else that interests you). What is most important is that you extend her analysis of that single pillar of caste to new theoretical or ethnographic material. Make sure you cite two academic sources that is not Wilkerson. Academic source must be a peer-reviewed journal article.
2. Sue Wadley gave a guest lecture about Mithila painting as it pertains to gender and caste and forms of social protest. Take 100 words to summarize her talk. And then provide a 550-word exploration of Mithila (also called Madhubani) art by doing outside research. You can find lots of articles. It’s your responsibility to access the articles using ASU’s many resources. Cite at least two outside, peer-reviewed articles (I suggest Google Scholar. You must use peer-reviewed journals — not news websites, or blogs, or museum websites, or government websites). Go deeper into the politics or gender dimension of this amazing form of art.

Assignment objective: As you are the new Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) manager for the CSU Widget Factory, your superior has asked you to review a prior year’s OSHA record, as well as William Smith’s OSHA 301 form, and suggest improvements for a more thorough investigation. Lastly, you are to make recommendations for reducing workplace injuries based on your review of the past 12 months.
Part 1
Your boss has asked you to review the accident information for the CSU Widget Factory. He sent you the OSHA Forms 300 and 300A.
Using the provided CSU Widget Factory OSHA 300A log, calculate the total recordable incidence rate (TRIR); the days away, restricted, or transferred (DART) rate; the lost workday injury and illness rate (LWDII); and the severity rate (SR). Be sure to show your calculations in a Word document.
Part 2
Your boss wants more information on one of the accidents listed on the CSU Widget Factory OSHA 300 log. He has sent you the OSHA Form 301, Injury and Illness Incident Report, for the accident involving William Smith. Mr. Smith’s supervisor filled out the form, but it only includes basic information. To prepare to conduct a more thorough investigation, do the following:
Develop a list of five questions to ask Mr. Smith’s supervisor about the circumstances surrounding the incident. Explain the importance of each question you create.
Select two theories of accident causation, and explain how you would use them to help in the accident investigation.
Part 3
As the new Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) manager for the CSU Widget Factory, you recently completed a study of the injuries entered on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 300 form over the past 12 months. Your findings revealed the following:
Eight employees were treated for various levels of heat strain during the summer months. Six were working indoors in the warehouse, and two were working outdoors doing grounds maintenance. All were first aid injuries.
There were six forklift accidents that resulted in injuries:
Three dropped loads struck nearby workers. All received first aid.
One forklift flipped over going around a corner, ejecting the operator. The operator lost 10 days of work and was on restricted duty for 30 days.
Two employees working in the warehouse aisles were struck by forklifts. Both were medical treatment injuries.
Five electrical shocks were reported in the machine shop. All occurred during routine equipment maintenance. All were medical treatment injuries, but none resulted in days away from work.
There were nine eye injuries in the machine shop. Five were foreign particles in the eye, and four were machine oil splashes. All were reported as first aid injuries.
Six employees in the plating shop were treated for inhalation of solvent vapors. Two resulted in lost workdays, and the others were medical treatment injuries.
To reduce workplace injuries, select two program areas from the analysis above that should receive immediate attention. Select two OSH programs from the following: Heat Stress, Powered Industrial Vehicles, Material Handling and Storage, Hazardous Energy Control (Lockout / Tagout), Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), Respiratory Protection Program.
Complete the following:
Discuss why the specific OSH program area was selected.
Explain how you would identify and assess the hazards related to this program area.
Discuss some possible hazard control measures that could be used to reduce risk.
Identify training requirements for the program area.
Propose methods for ensuring employees comply with safety procedures.
Length: Your submission must be in APA Style and at least four pages in length, not counting title and reference pages.
PLEASE NOTE: I have completed and included parts one and two for this assignment. You will only need to complete part three. To receive full credit, the instructor mentioned that for part three, you will need to apply each method from the hierarchy of controls. He also wants a header separating each part of the assignment.

REFLECTLinks to an external site. on all of your specific eating habits, both bad and good; and, your common triggers for unhealthy eating.
Highlight the habits on your list that may be leading you to overeat. Common eating habits that can lead to weight gain are:
Eating too fast
Always cleaning your plate
Eating when not hungry
Eating while standing up (may lead to eating mindlessly or too quickly)
Always eating dessert
Skipping meals (or maybe just breakfast)
Look at the unhealthy eating habits you’ve highlighted. Be sure you’ve identified all the triggers that cause you to engage in those habits. Identify a few you’d like to work on improving first. Don’t forget to pat yourself on the back for the things you’re doing right. Maybe you usually eat fruit for dessert, or you drink low-fat or fat-free milk. These are good habits! Recognizing your successes will help encourage you to make more changes.
Create a list of “cues” by reviewing your food diary to become more aware of when and where you’re “triggered” to eat for reasons other than hunger. Note how you are typically feeling at those times. Often an environmental “cue”, or a particular emotional state, is what encourages eating for non-hunger reasons. Common triggers for eating when not hungry are:
Opening up the cabinet and seeing your favorite snack food.
Sitting at home watching television.
Before or after a stressful meeting or situation at work.
Coming home after work and having no idea what’s for dinner.
Having someone offer you a dish they made “just for you!”
Walking past a candy dish on the counter.
Sitting in the break room beside the vending machine.
Seeing a plate of doughnuts at the morning staff meeting.
Swinging through your favorite drive-through every morning.
Feeling bored or tired and thinking food might offer a pick-me-up.
Circle the “cues” on your list that you face on a daily or weekly basis. While the Thanksgiving holiday may be a trigger to overeat, for now focus on cues you face more often. Eventually you want a plan for as many eating cues as you can.
Ask yourself these questions for each “cue” you’ve circled:
Is there anything I can do to avoid the cue or situation? This option works best for cues that don’t involve others. For example, could you choose a different route to work to avoid stopping at a fast food restaurant on the way? Is there another place in the break room where you can sit so you’re not next to the vending machine?
For things I can’t avoid, can I do something differently that would be healthier? Obviously, you can’t avoid all situations that trigger your unhealthy eating habits, like staff meetings at work. In these situations, evaluate your options. Could you suggest or bring healthier snacks or beverages? Could you offer to take notes to distract your attention? Could you sit farther away from the food so it won’t be as easy to grab something? Could you plan ahead and eat a healthy snack before the meeting?

For this paper, you will compare Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and Ridley Scott’s 1982 film Blade Runner. Since this is a short paper, you might consider focusing on one concept or idea around which to compare/contrast the film and novel. Use specific evidence from both stories–including direct quotes, summaries of paragraphs, scenes, dialogue, etc.– to support your analysis. Please underline your thesis.

In psychology, the relationship between happiness and unhappiness is an important area of study. Some theorists believe that we can’t truly understand happiness without also experiencing unhappiness. They argue that these two emotions are closely connected.
For this discussion:
1. Do you agree or disagree with the idea that experiencing unhappiness is necessary to fully understand happiness? Explain your position.
2. To support your viewpoint:
o Share one personal example from your life that relates to this idea.
o Include two psychological concepts that help explain your perspective.
o Reference one psychological theory that explores the connection between positive and negative emotions.
o Include two scholarly references (e.g., your textbook, academic articles, or credible psychological sources) to support your argument. Must not be the same scholarly reference.
Formatting Requirements:
• Use APA format for both in-text citations and your reference list. For example:
o In-text citation: (Author, Year).
o Reference list: Author, A. A. (Year). Title of the article/book. Journal Name/Publisher, volume(issue), page range. DOI or URL if applicable.
