Use the book Signs of Life.  Please use two alternative resources and cite it properly in MLA format.

Length: 1,500-2,000 words
Format: Typed, double-spaced, 1” margins

In their book Signs of Life, Maasik and Solomon state that “the popular culture of todayconstitutes the essential texture of our everyday lives” (7). This is a weighty statement to make: itposits that we are so steeped in popular culture that it is inescapable—it is in fact woven into the very fabric of who we are, what we do, what we consume, and more. As this underpins the rest of the book, it is imperative that we interrogate this idea further.

The goal of this essay is to analyze the argument, centered on this statement, that the authors put forth in the introductory chapter of the textbook. Your thesis should stake a claim on their statement—do you agree, disagree, or find some shades of grey are necessary?

First, define pop culture and support it with sources. Are you defining it in keeping with Maasik and Solomon, or are you putting forth something different? Why?

Second, now that you have defined your core term (and you’ll define any others you use as youproceed in writing), proceed to defend your claim. Feel free to use, converse with, and argue back against Maasik and Solomon’s statements in this chapter as you go through this process.Anticipate that you will need to include outside sources.

***A counter-argument (highly encouraged) will help to strengthen your argument.***

Finally, apply your argument: bring an artifact of pop culture into discussion with your position.Use specific examples from the artifact, and, if it isn’t a commonly-known piece, consider including some brief context or description.

This paper must have thorough in-text citations and must include an MLA-formatted Works Cited page.

Case Analysis

In light of your understanding of the civil and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process, consider the following scenario:

Pete was seriously injured when the four-wheeled all-terrain vehicle (ATV) he was driving through the trails behind his house rolled over. As a result of his injuries, Pete is unable to work and has incurred $75,000 in medical bills. Pete has filed a lawsuit against the ATV manufacturer to receive compensation for the financial harm resulting from his injuries. Pete claims that the manufacturer defectively designed the ATV, causing it to have a tendency to roll over on rough terrain.

The ATV manufacturer claims that the ATV is not defectively designed and that the rollover was caused by Pete driving at an excessive rate of speed around a corner.

Consider the steps in civil litigation and ADR, and assess the factors that Pete and the ATV manufacturer will consider when deciding whether they should settle this lawsuit. If you were Pete’s lawyer, what resolution would you advise? Be sure to consider the primary forms of ADR and all ADR factors described in the lesson and textbook.

Finally, research and select at least one case from an outside source to support your resolution to the ATV case. Your answer should be a minimum of 500 words. Cite any direct quotes or paraphrased material from these sources. Use APA format to properly reference your information.

**Paper will be graded based on Introduction, Quality of Discussion, Organization, Writing Mechanics, and Citation and Formatting**

*ORIGINAL WORK ONLY**

Project: Final Project Milestone 1

  This is the first step in an ongoing course project. This project will provide an opportunity to choose an art form and deepen your understanding of it, when you select a work of art within that art form to study and research throughout the course. You will fulfill various weekly parameters that detail the specific requirements for each worksheet as you participate in the weekly Final Project Milestones exercise.

Final Project Milestone 1: Identify an artistic venue for an art form that you can attend by the end of Week 4 of this course. Examples include, but are not limited to, an art or photograph exhibition, concert, dance recital, film, or theater production.

Note: In Week 2, you will choose a specific work of art, identify the venue where you will observe that art form, and identify the chapter in the course text that corresponds with that art form. (The Week 1 and Week 2 Final Project Milestones constitute the basis of your Final Project.)

To prepare:

Please review the preformatted “Final Project Milestone 1” worksheet.

Unit 4

Work through the following genetics problems and submit their answers as part of the introduction to your lab report.  Please show your work!  You will not receive full credit for problems that only have an answer! The problems belong in your introduction portion of the lab report.

1. Both a man and a woman are heterozygous for bent little fingers. Bent little fingers are dominant over straight little fingers. What is the chance that their child will have bent little fingers?

2. Both a brother and a sister do not have freckles, but their parents have freckles. Freckles (F) are dominant over no freckles (f). What are the genotypes of the parents?

3. A father is far-sighted, the mother has normal vision, and all five of their children are far-sighted. Being far-sighted (F) is dominant over having normal vision (f). Give the probable genotypes of all persons concerned.

4. A woman is heterozygous for polydactyly (which is a dominant condition in which a person has more than the normal number of fingers and/or toes). The woman has a child with a man who is homozygous normal. What is the chance that their child will have more than ten fingers and/or toes?

5. Sarah can’t curl her tongue – which is a recessive trait. Both of her parents can curl their tongues – which is dominant. Give the genotypes of all persons involved (use T and/or t in the genotypes).

6. A man has type AB blood and his child has type B blood. What are all of the possible blood types of the child’s mother? (Hint: think about the genotypes of blood types.  You will need to work more than one Punnett Square.)

7. A child who does not have dimples or freckles is born to a man who has dimples and freckles (both dominant) and a woman who does not. What are the genotypes of all persons concerned?

 Try typing in “Baby Steps Through Punnett Squares” in your search engine or try this site:

http://www.sbs.utexas.edu/sanders/bio309/Lectures/2006/Punnet.htm (Links to an external site.)

Tips:

• Be sure to show your work!  If you give me answers only, I will not give you full credit.  Use graphs/Punnett squares, explain your logic, etc. 
• Try out several blood types on #6.  Using the actual genotypes is very helpful.
• Be aware that on #7 we have 2 traits, so a complete genotype will have 4, not 2 letters for each person. It is called a Dihybrid Cross.

LAB ASSIGNMENT

For this weeks lab, you will be using a tool called the virtual genetics lab. Here you will create crosses of experimental animals and try to predict what mode of inheritance your organisms have. This lab requires that you complete 3 crosses in the software, the first one is practice with the answer and two additional experimental crosses in which there is no answer, you must make crosses until you are sure that you have enough evidence to reject or support your hypothesis.
