Write a 2.5-4 page paper (double-spaced, 12 pt. font) on one of the prompts below.
2. Your paper must include at least six examples from at least four different chapters. This is a one source paper. Do not do additional research beyond The Battle that Stopped Rome.
3. Use page number citations for your examples. Page number citations are required both for direct quotes and for paraphrasing. See below.
4. Submit your paper on Canvas by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday 20October.
How to cite the book:
Example 1: Wells explains that the Romans looked after their soldiers: “A nutritious diet, a carefully monitored water supply, and strict rules about sanitation helped keep the troops healthy.” (183)
Example 2: Wells explains that the Romans looked after their troops and made sure they had nutritious food, plenty of water, and clean camps. (183)
Note that in example 2 I did not directly quote the author, but I clearly was referring to his idea so I need a page number reference.
Paper Prompts: Choose one and only one of the questions below for your paper.
Option 1: Using Evidence
This book sits at the intersection of history, anthropology, and archeology. Peter Wells is a professor of anthropology. Explain the different types of evidence Wells uses throughout the book. How does he interpret archeological sites and evidence? Note: The Appendixes are useful for answering this question. For the assignment, the appendixes count as one chapter.
Option 2: Arguing a Thesis
Wells states “Rome lost the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, and three of its legions, because Augustus and his advisers did not understand the peoples of northern Europe or the changes those societies were undergoing.” (214)
What were Roman relations like with the Germanic tribes since the time of Julius Caesar? How did the Romans misinterpret what was happening with the Germanic tribes? What was so different about how the Germanic tribes lived? How did Roman misreading of the Germanic tribes specifically lead to the defeat at the Teutoburg Forest?

In this exercise you will learn how to create a non-destructive smart filter that can be selectively applied using a smart filter mask. You will learn about the benefits of non-destructive editing and how to put those methods into practice in day-to-day Photoshop projects. Follow along with the supplemental video tutorial from TutVids or utilize the written instructions below to complete the exercise.

Download the sample image provided.
Open the image in Adobe Photoshop.
Right click on the image layer and convert the image to a Smart Object.
Applying any filter to a Smart Object automatically makes it a “Smart Filter.” Create a pixelated smart filter by going to “Filter” > “Pixelate” > “Mosaic” in the Photoshop menu bar and setting the cell size to 45, then click Ok.
With smart filters, you can edit or delete the filter effect after you’ve created it. You can also mask them to a specific area. Edit the filter by double-clicking the name of the filter just below the Smart Filter mask in the layers panel and increase the pixel cell size to 75 square. Then click Ok.
Now you are going to add a mask to a portion of the smart filter. Using the Rectangular Marquee tool drag a selection over the statue and click on the smart filter mask in the layers panel.
In the Photoshop menu navigate to “Select” > “Inverse” to invert your selection and hit “Cmd/Ctrl + I” to invert the white in your layer mask to black and hide the effect around the statue.
Use the key command “Cmd/Ctrl + D” to deselect.
Double click adjustment sliders icon in the layers panel and use it to create a “Vivid Light” adjustment so you can highlight the filter area.
Save the image as a PSD file with the layers intact using the naming convention “marquette_smartfilter.psd” and upload it to the assignment page to complete the exercise file.

Text for Freud’s Psychoanalysis Theory
Rubric
View RubricAssessment TraitsRequires LopeswriteAssessment Description
All theories have a historical context. Understanding the historical context for psychoanalysis theory is important in understanding how the theory evolved, its key tenets and perspectives, and current applications of the theory. The development of a theory also often promotes discipline-wide criticism leading to the development of new theories. Many disagreed with Freud, which led to the development of neo-Freudianism theories in psychoanalysis. Understanding historical context is crucial for one’s ability to critically evaluate psychoanalytic foundational ideas and their influence on our understanding of the human experience.
General Requirements
Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:
Review Chapters 1 and 2 of When Theories Touch: A Historical and Theoretical Integration of Psychoanalytic Thought by Ellman.

An overall historical context for psychoanalysis. Discuss the history and development of psychoanalysis/psychodynamic theory.
An analysis of psychoanalysis/psychodynamic theory. What were the primary tenets and perspectives of the theories? Who were the key theorists? How did their work lead them to new ideas including neo-Freudianism?
A rationale for why psychoanalysis is/was considered essential to understanding human behavior and experiences.

For this assignment, you will Reflect on topics they have covered over the last eight weeks, Discuss the application of Middle Range Theories and Nursing Practice, and Discuss the impact of mentors during the course.
Please include 400 words in your initial post with two scholarly articles by Wednesday midnight and 200 words in two answers to your peers by FRIDAY midnight. Example After 8 weeks of the Advanced Theoretical Perspectives for Nursing course, I’m much more aware of how nursing theories are the core of our field, informing clinical practice and research. This attention to middle-range theories has been especially informative, insofar as middle-range theories sit between the great theories and the practice of nursing, providing hands-on conceptual models of patient care. As a Med-Surg nurse, I can experience these theories directly within my own clinical workflow as I am able to offer more rounded, personalized treatment.
My favorite middle-range theory is Mishel’s Theory of Uncertainty in Illness. In my practice, I frequently work with chronic illness, and this theory offers an explanation for the affective and psychological effects of uncertainty. Complex treatment patients, particularly those with chronic conditions such as cancer or long-term heart failure, are unsure of their chances and outcome. Mishel’s theory has made me more sensitive to this ambiguity, and more sympathetic and compassionate in my care. I have been able to play with this theory by having open conversations with patients and their families, teaching them about their disease, and guiding them through the unknowns, which reduces anxiety and gives them more control.
Additionally, Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory has been a useful resource in my practice as well, specifically for patient post-operative care. This theory insists on measuring a patient’s capacity for self-care, and it has provided a systematic methodology for evaluating whether my patients have a capacity to take care of themselves. For example, following surgery, patients have a hard time performing simple self-care activities such as caring for wounds or taking medications. With Orem’s theory, I can easily measure these deficits, educate and assist patients to restore independence. And it’s a real-world solution that both enhances patient outcomes and empowers patients to own their recovery.
The mentorship through this course has been tremendous. I was mentored by one who taught me the intersection between theory and practice. Mentoring provided insight and validation especially when I found it difficult to figure out how to apply more conceptual ideas in practical context. My mentor and I discussed and reflected on the practicality of applying middle-range theories to certain patient cases, and the value of such paradigms in clinical decision-making. The feedback I received has encouraged me to apply these theories in my own practice, and now I am better prepared to bring these models with me into my future work as a nurse practitioner.
Finally, the application of middle-range theories in practice was something I have learnt from. Such theories – in particular Mishel’s and Orem’s – have had immediate consequences for my practice, which now includes more integration, patient-centered, reflective practice. Second, the guidance I got in this course was very useful in firmly cementing my grasp on these theories and boosting my application. I will take the knowledge and practice that I gained in this course and apply them as I progress towards becoming a full time advanced nurse practitioner to offer excellent, theory-driven care to my patients as I progress toward that.
