Research Report Assignment
A reference list is a listing of sources on a topic. Refer to your APA Guide to learn about the style used by midwives, American Psychological Association (APA). Your submission will include references written in correct APA format. You may find that you discard or add references as you move through the writing process – this is OK (as long as you have a minimum of five).
Here are the steps to complete this assignment:
1. Select a subject that is midwifery-related for your final Research Paper (but NOT safety of home birth).
MY TOPIC:
Benefits & Importance of Delivering Culturally Competent Midwifery Care for Black and Indigenous People of Color
2. Choose whether your paper will be analytic (literature review) or argumentative in scope.
3. Find a minimum of 5 sources to utilize for your research. A minimum of 3 of these 5 should be peer-reviewed articles from within the last 10 years. Other primary sources such as conference speeches, personal narratives, and interviews may be used to bolster your work. Secondary sources such as books and news articles may also be used.
4.Write a reference list in APA format.
5. Write a working abstract that includes a working thesis (these are “working” because they will evolve as your research does). This should be between 150 – 250 words. An abstract is precise and concise. It should present your research topic and its surrounding questions, briefly introduce your most important references, and present a thesis that summarizes your analysis or argument. Be sure to bold or highlight your working thesis statement.
6. Submit your work. See the rubric below for more details.

Human Origins & Prehistory
Research Assignment
DESCRIPTION: Anthropological research
routinely captivates the public consciousness with news stories and
television programs on various topics ranging from the “Missing Link” of
human evolution and Sasquatch (i.e., Bigfoot) to buried cities and lost
tribes of the Amazon and elsewhere. This interest extends into the
realm of fiction with video games, science-fiction programs, and
movies. As we have seen during the first third of the semester, there
is often a discrepancy between how scientific research is portrayed in
the media or on television (e.g., Bones
[Fox Network]) and the actual research process, which involves a
research design, experimentation, analysis, peer review, and the
publication of findings. These inaccurate portrayals can range from
slight misunderstandings to gross misrepresentations. Unfortunately,
entertaining programs and movies can have implicit messages, subliminal
meanings, and unintended consequences for past and present cultures.
For example, consider the portrayal of the Persian Empire in Frank
Miller’s 300 (2006) and 300: Rise of an Empire
(2014) and current socio-political and economic tensions between Iran
and the West. Similarly, how many people “understand” Mayan culture
based solely on Mel Gibson’s depiction in Apocalypto (2006)?
For the purposes of this assignment, which is worth 10% of your
final grade, I would like you to 1) review a media representation of
research, 2) identify and assess any omissions or misunderstandings
after reading the original research article, 3) summarize the content of
both sources, and 4) compare and contrast your findings to the original
research that was published on the topic. The media can be print,
online, newscasts, television programs, or other common forms. I will
post approximately a dozen examples of media coverage and the original
research article under the Files tab on our Canvas page. Feel free to
use one of these for the assignment. In addition, a short list of media
sources can be found on the following page of this document. You will
often find references to the original research that was published in a
scientific journal (e.g., Science, Nature, Genetics, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences [PNAS), American Antiquity)
at the end of the media source. In some instances, such as movies or television programs,
you may want to utilize two or more research articles to compare to your
media source..The assignment should be
approximately 1,500 words in length- two to three single-spaced pages.
The assignment needs to be proofread, typed, and follow a standard
citation format (e.g., MLA, APA, Chicago).

research proposal
two attachments provided (one is the topic and the research CT !) (the other is a sample in which the proposal should be done CT 4 sample) a submit the proposal as per the given sample format. Adherence to the format is necessary. if any sections are missing you are highly advised to improvise. This research proposal must contain all the stages and processes involved in a typical research proposal. You must provide a detailed data collection plan (assumed), sampling design (assumed) as well as a proposed data analysis plan. Improvisation highly recommended.

You are required to develop an infographic from one of the topics listed below by comparing

7
-Oceania: Australia (Federal) or New Zealand (Unitary)
-Asia: India (Federal) or Saudi Arabia (Unitary)
-Europe: Germany (Federal) or the United Kingdom (Unitary)
While the topics seem broad, you can narrow a topic to ease the process.
Example #1: Voter Turnout

I have completed the Introduction and Literature Review. I have attached this below.
I will also provide guidelines for writing the proposal and methodology section.
The selected topic is The Effects of Gendered Dating Rhetoric on Dating Culture in Undergraduate College Students.

When writing your research paper, you have a lot of creative freedom on what you’d prefer to discuss about your chosen topic. However, for those that would like to follow a bit more structure, here are some common subtopics a lot of students tend to focus on. You may choose an assortment of these subtopics to discuss, or if you’d like to take a different approach that is fine too.
(when discussing an airline) many students tend to write about:
airline history
pay and benefits opportunities
employee and customer satisfaction
flight accidents/incidents
company goals/objectives/outlook
aircraft fleet
hubs or destinations offered
headliners or breaking news stories regarding the company
NOTE:
Plagiarism, use of AI, or lack of in text citations will be an automatic 0, so PLEASE include in text citations.

This week we learned about the Qualitative Approach and its various methods. You have likely used the qualitative approach in your previous papers. Now that you have had formal training on the approach and its methods, how might you use this knowledge to improve your future research papers? Cite one advantage and one disadvantage to using the qualitative approach.
I am also in need of two 150w responses to posts. I will provide said posts after completion of assignment. I will gladly provide a 25% tip for the completion of this multipart question.

Students will decide on a HR related research topic and are required to write a 5 page research paper utilizing APA format.
