I’m working on a literature exercise and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Please write 150 words on Pentheus’ and Dionysus’ respective ways of “protecting” the city. What kind of traditions and norms must be respected to make Thebes strong and secure — military power and social order, or piety and respect for the gods?

If it is useful, you may address who their respective followers / supporters in (or outside) the city are, and how orderliness or disorderliness among these followers will lead or not lead to the stability of the city. OR you may address how long-lasting or permanent the stability of the city will be if one or the other of their orders is followed. Think about the end of the play, in other words, and who is responsible for it. 

I’m studying and need help with a Psychology question to help me learn.

After reviewing all of the content in the lesson, please discuss the 6 (six) environmental conditions that make up the Resiliency Wheel.

How could you utilize this when working with our FSI family (described in the Case Study) who is dealing with adversity?

After taking the “Resilience Scale” what was your score and what is your resilience level? (Mine is attached on a screenshot – 121)

Why would you want to build your resilience, how does that help you everyday? How does that compare to the two traits that the Psychology Today article on Resilience addresses?

2. Final Analytical Paper

• Your final paper for the course, due during finals week, will follow the basic structure of a “What I Learned” piece in Contexts, a quarterly magazine published by the American Sociological Association (see D2L for examples). This is not a research paper. You are not expected to collect data, review literature we haven’t covered in class, or include a formal reference list. Rather, you should apply one or more of the theories or concepts we learned in the class this term to your life in a thoughtful way, discussing specific articles and authors.This means that you must cite specific course resources and articles.The paper should be written in the first person, describing some aspect of your own life experience through a sociological lens, and may be no longer than 1200 words in length. I’ll recommend the best paper in the class for publication in Contexts. Pay close attention to your word count: I will automatically deduct a letter grade if you go over the word limit. Since the word limit for this assignment is imposed by the magazine, papers longer than 1200 words will be ineligible for consideration at Contexts. 

Discussion Boards (5)

You will participate in 5 discussions related to course topics. A new question will be posted to the discussion board each week covering that week’s assigned readings, videos, podcasts, and topics. You will be expected to post 1 initial response to the question and comment on at least 3 other classmate’s posts. The initial response should be about 2 paragraphs. Each comment should be about 1 paragraph in length.

JUST A BRIEF DESCREPTION OF THE PROBLEM AND 

RESEARCH OF THE SOLUTION 

DON’T WRITE AN INTRODUCTION,BODY PARAGRAPH AND CONCLUSION

JUST A PROBLEM DESCRIPTION AND SOLUTIONS RESEARCH 

The topic selected issue is the impact Covid-19 has on homeless and housing insecure communities in Florida. This problem is important in the community because Tampa and the St. Petersburg metropolitan area has one of the highest rates of homelessness in the entirety of the U.S. In the same vein, many of the housing insecure in our area are low-income USF students. The housing crisis has hit our area very hard, with many previously affordable apartments and housing options, for students and regular residences alike, becoming unaffordable. Housing on campus is limited and forces many students to have to look off campus, which is becoming unrealistic for many students.

THE SOLUTION IS ( PLEASE DO RESEARCH ON THIS 1. temporary housing for homeless people, think about the initiative to put homeless people into motels/hotels during the COVID-19 pandemic

. my solution is for the Florida government to provide temporary housing for homeless people, like putting them into motels/hotels during the covid pandemic as housing is more expensive now.

I need research to support my solution) points that support the fact that fl government can provide.
