In his preface to the Voices of Freedom document reader, Eric Foner notes that “Freedom is not a fixed, timeless category with a single unchanging definition. Rather, the history of the United States is, in part, a story of debates, disagreements, and struggles over freedom.” Foner further contends that the documents “reflect how Americans at different points in history have defined freedom as an overarching idea, or have understood its many dimensions, including political, religious, economic, and personal freedom.” Read each of the following documents in Voices of Freedom: Ch. 18: Doc. 116 – John Ryan, “A Living Wage” Ch. 19: Doc. 122 – Woodrow Wilson, “A World ‘Safe for Democracy’” Ch. 20: Doc. 133 – Congress Debates Immigration Ch. 21: Doc. 140 – Franklin Roosevelt, “Speech to the Democratic National Convention” Ch. 22: Doc. 147 – Henry Luce, “The American Century” After reading each document in its entirety, first establish the historical context in which the author wrote, then comment on how each author defines freedom given the historical circumstances. You should include at least one supporting quotation to support your contention. (cite using in-text citations: Voices of Freedom, 268). Next, compare and contrast the authors’ definitions of freedom and comment on how the definition of freedom has changed over time from the Progressive Era through World War II. Again, be sure to include relevant contextual information so that your reader understands what was going on in the United States at the time that each document was written. (cite your Give Me Liberty textbook for this information. Give Me Liberty, 222). Discuss how and why the definition of freedom changed throughout the early years of the 20th century. Make sure to take notes on each document and appropriate contextual information BEFORE writing. The Primary Document Analysis Worksheet provides a good basis from which to take notes. Mechanical Requirements: Your paper should have a clear introduction with thesis statement that gives an overview of how the definition of freedom changed over time. Your paper should have a conclusion summarizing the significance of the changing definition of freedom in American history. 3 page minimum, 4 page maximum (this means at least 3 FULL – TO THE BOTTOM – pages) Typed – 12 point font, Times New Roman or Cambria 1 inch margins on all sides Double spaced Please write in the THIRD person (no “I” or “you”) Introduce all quotes with your own analysis – they should flow seamlessly as part of your sentence.

This week we will be discussing psychological disorders. Below I have three case studies for you to review. Based upon the information presented I want you to provide which disorder best fits the signs and symptoms presented. Essentially, you are going to "diagnose" the fictitious person mentioned in the case study. Please remember that you need to be specific. Simply saying "depression" or "anxiety" is not enough. You need to have the specific name of the disorder listed.Case Study #1David has a lot of anxiety when he is at work, church, really any situation where he has to be around other people. The idea that someone is watching him makes him feel even more anxiety. He usually avoids any kind of eye contact with other people. If he knows he needs to talk to someone at work, he will write down what he is going to say prior to approaching the person so he knows exactly what to say. He notices that he doesn't feel as anxious if he has alcohol so he actually has started pouring vodka in his coffee at work just to help him deal with being around people.Case Study #2Maria has felt like she has been in a "funk" for years now. This interferes with her sleep and gives her a depressed mood more days than not. It has never been bad enough to where she thinks about suicide or otherwise harming herself, but feels so persistent that she just accepts it as a permanent part of her life now.Case Study #3Laura recently started a relationship. Although she has only been dating him for about a week now, she knows that she will marry him someday. She feels so connected to him that she wants to talk to him and be with him all the time. She feels terrified that he may not feel the same way about her. Recently, she noticed that he wasn't responding to her text messages as quickly as he usually does. This makes Laura feel worthless and rejected. She blew up and called his phone leaving several messages accusing him of cheating on her. After leaving these messages, she broke down and started feeling suicidal. She decides to send pictures to her boyfriend showing herself cutting her wrists.Case Study #4Mike has always felt that his nose was way too large. Every time he looks in the mirror he notices how big his nose looks. Everyone he knows says they don't think his nose looks out of place, but Mike persists. He notices that a lot of times when he goes out in public people look at him. He knows they're looking at him because of how freakish his nose looks. Mike has even had two previous surgeries to make his nose look smaller, but he feels like it still doesn't look the way it should.

As a business professional, you will sometimes be tasked with writing a tough letter to a customer, former employee, or business associate. This exercise will give you practice in the delicate balance of empathy and persuasion, a difficult task indeed. You will choose ONE of the following exercises from BWS Ch 6(attached below) to revise, keeping in mind that all final submissions should be in letter format (since they are external communications) and make use of white space (paragraph breaks and headings/lists, when necessary). Formats for business letters are covered in BWS Ch 4 (p. 88-89) (which is also attached below).Choose ONE:6D: Resolve a complaint about a catering fiasco, p. 1416F: Revise an angry complaint about a cleaning service, p. 1436G: Revise a letter that delivers bad news insensitively, p. 1446I: Write a rejection letter, p. 1486K: Disinvite participants to a focus group, p. 1506M: Buy time in a tricky situation, p. 152Submission1/2 to 1 page, single-spaced, block style letter. Do use whitespace and headings/lists to group, organize, and signal content. Do not use underline.
