HUM 110 Grossmont College The Cyrus Cylinder and Ancient Persia Responses
The first response is for the following article: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-21747567. Please read the article and answer the questions below (option A) in 200 words. (Please provide detailed answers)
Option #A: Cyrus Cylinder - How a Persian monarch inspired Jefferson
After reading, you should be able to answer at least one of these questions. In all cases you'll need to express an opinion about the topic:
What two key historical figures are discussed in the article, and what’s their connection?
How and why is the Cyrus Cylinder important to the kinds of freedom enjoyed in liberal Western-style democracies such as Britain and the United States?
What are its specific connections to American history, and given contemporary politics (see recent US-Iran news stories, for example), why is it fitting – and ironic – that it should have toured the United States?
The second response is for the following article:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/5287124..... Please read the article and answer the questions below (option D) in 100 words. (Please provide detailed answers)
Option #D: Thera eruption was bigger still
After reading the article page, you should be able to answer at least three of these questions. In all cases you'll need to express an opinion about the topic:
The destruction of Thera over 3500 year ago probably inspired Plato’s account from 1000 years later (not mentioned in the article) of what popular cultural myth? (Hint: it's in the video!) What evidence has emerged to further corroborate the eruption? What further effects would have been felt then, and where? In what specific ways might this story differ from the recent theory about the Kofels event?
That is a summarization of the assignment. Below are the instructions from the prompt please go over it to have a better idea about the assignment.
Protocol:
The board is a chance for you to express your own opinions and personalities, so you can go off in different directions, as long as you’re clearly responding to the chosen topics.
You must choose one topic from each module listed (there are always two). For this week, therefore, if your main response is from Module 3, your second (short) response must be from Module 4 (or vice versa). You will lose credit if you don't follow this policy, no matter how lengthy or well-written your posts.
Do NOT attach a separate document with your typed comments. Instead, write/reply directly in the thread.
Always title your post with the name of the article or a brief summary of its content, so people know at a glance your focus (e.g., "Thera mega-eruption," "My reaction to Heinrich Schliemann," etc.). See Module 3 or 4 for the original articles/videos.
Feel free to post articles, images, etc. I might award extra points to clever and relevant links (I gave a couple of examples in the slides that followed Stonehenge in the Module 1 slideshow). But please – no tired memes or tweets, and absolutely nothing cruel or off-color.
Grading:
Before you start writing, you're expected to read all topics, which are testable on the exam.
You get an initial 5 points for writing a post on-topic (as opposed to chatting about your love life, your favorite bands, etc.). You get a further 10 points for writing a coherent and reflective consideration of that chosen topic. Take it seriously; think of it as a mini-essay. This initial post must be at least 200 words and must include a word count at the end. Once posted, it will allow the board to open and connect you with your peers.
Then you get 5 points each for a response to a topic from the other module, and one response to a student post on any topic (you're welcome to talk to multiple students too, of course). That way you're always discussing at least two different topics from two different modules. These second and third posts must be at least 50 words each.
If there's no second topic yet under discussion, be the first and start a new thread!
You should be sympathetic to and interested in what your peers have to say, and it should be clear from your response that you've read the article(s) in question. Frivolous, dishonest, or obviously undeveloped responses will earn No Credit.
I want everyone to feel their opinions are respected and equally valid (whether you consider yourself a “good” writer or not), so as long as you do this to my satisfaction, you’ll usually get full credit. However, you'll lose points for any missing, off-topic, or poorly developed elements (initial post/second post/peer response). Therefore, follow the directions and you'll get the points: it's Either/Or!
Let's review:
Using the questions below as a jump-off point, respond to one of these assigned readings (200 words minimum). Once you've done that, the board will open up and you can see what everyone else has written, including initial comments from me.
Take your time to absorb what other people have to say, which may help you choose a second topic or focus your thoughts.
When you're ready, comment on a second topic, chosen from the other module. This can be a new thread that you start or in response to another student's comment on that second topic. Then you must comment on at least one other student post (topic/module open).
At least 300 words total are expected (be sure to add word count).
Refer back to the particular module (3 or 4, in this case) for the relevant material.
REMINDER: all readings are assigned and testable on the exam, whether or not you write on them as your D-Board response.
Module 3 options (choose one):
Option #A: Cyrus Cylinder - How a Persian monarch inspired Jefferson
After reading, you should be able to answer at least one of these questions. In all cases you'll need to express an opinion about the topic:
What two key historical figures are discussed in the article, and what’s their connection?
How and why is the Cyrus Cylinder important to the kinds of freedom enjoyed in liberal Western-style democracies such as Britain and the United States?
What are its specific connections to American history, and given contemporary politics (see recent US-Iran news stories, for example), why is it fitting – and ironic – that it should have toured the United States?
Option #B: Archaeologists strike gold in quest to find Queen of Sheba's wealth
After reading the article page, you should be able to answer at least three of these questions. In all cases you'll need to express an opinion about the topic:
How was the lost mine rediscovered, and by whom?
What is the image of the queen in popular culture, and what is the source?
Why was the queen’s wealth important to that connection?
What is an example of her influence in art?

Module 4 options (choose one):
Option #C: Alice Kober, Unsung heroine who helped decode Linear B
After reading the article page, you should be able to answer at least three of these questions. In all cases you'll need to express an opinion about the topic:
What specific details (2 or 3, at least) did Alice Kober determine about Linear B before her death? How was she know for organizing her ideas? When did Michael Ventris first become interested in Linear B? How does he describe the puzzle of translating it? What's one example of the result of his efforts? How did he and Kober get along? How did each of them die? Finally, as also noted in the Bettany Hughes documentary, what have we learned from the Linear B translations? And what kind of cultural record did NOT emerge from them? This last point allows you to use some imagination!
Option #D: Thera eruption was bigger still
After reading the article page, you should be able to answer at least three of these questions. In all cases you'll need to express an opinion about the topic:
The destruction of Thera over 3500 year ago probably inspired Plato’s account from 1000 years later (not mentioned in the article) of what popular cultural myth? (Hint: it's in the video!)

In what specific ways might this story differ from the recent theory about the Kofels event?
Option #E: Heinrich Schliemann - visionary archaeologist or scoundrel?
After reviewing the story at the Un-Museum, you should be able to answer all these questions. In all cases you'll need to express an opinion about the topic:
Explain what ancient ruins Heinrich Schliemann discovered, and how. What did he do at the first site in particular, what happened, and what do you think of his actions and methods?

Family and Community Care Plan
This case scenario is what you will use to complete the family and community care plan.Case Scenario
Family
Julio (age 33) and Quianna Riverez (age 30) live in Chicago, Illinois with their five children, ages one, three, four, seven, and 15. Both parents dropped out of high
school when Quianna became pregnant with their oldest child, Rico. Initially they lived with Quianna’s parents, later getting an apartment in the Englewood area
of the city, where they still currently reside. Right after they moved into their own residence, they were relieved to be on their own, in part due to the chronic
conflict between Julio and Quianna’s parents that continues to this day. A few weeks after moving to Englewood, they realized that the violence the
neighborhood was known for would make an indelible mark on each of their lives. Julio was shot in the chest when rival gang members fought for turf in front of
the family’s apartment. Although he survived, he was left with lingering health issues resulting from extensive scar tissue in his lungs. For her part, Quianna
continues to struggle with the emotional impact of Julio’s shooting. Both parents have seen plenty of violence in the vicinity of their home, yet they feel trapped
since there is no money for daily necessities, much less relocation. Their feelings of helplessness and fear have intensified since a shoot-out last week left three
dead, including a one-year-old infant in a stroller. The incident played out in front of the entire family as they were getting off a city bus. The family narrowly
missed being hit by gunfire themselves and had to spend several hours on the scene being interviewed by the police.
Julio’s family moved away from Chicago shortly after Rico’s birth. They have returned to the Miami, Florida area since it allows them to see the extended family
that immigrated to Miami from Cuba. They are estranged from Julio and Quianna because of the couple’s choice to not marry and their lack of participation in the
Catholic Church. Quianna’s family does continue to live in Chicago. Although they are accepting of the couple’s decision to not marry, they resent the fact that the
couple does not make an effort to attend family gatherings, and they wish that Quianna had married an African American man to maintain the family’s ethnic and
cultural heritage. Julio has great trouble being around Quianna’s family because he thinks they are controlling and they always share unrequested advice that he
does not wish to follow. For these reasons and others, the couple receives no social or financial support from either side of the family.
Julio currently works two part-time jobs; one is at a local diner where he is a cook, and the other is at a factory, where he works third shift as a maintenance
person. Quianna has always stayed home to raise the children. The couple’s finances are not adequate to pay for the necessities of life such as groceries, housing,
and utilities. In fact, their utilities were shut off at the beginning of April due to nonpayment. It is becoming increasingly frequent that Julio must walk to and
from work due to the family’s inability to pay the fees for public transportation. A major stressor for the couple is that Julio’s original language is Spanish and he
continues to struggle to communicate in English. When the couple experiences conflict, Julio often shuts down or leaves the residence due to his challenges in
expressing his thoughts and feelings. All of the couple’s children speak English exclusively and Julio feels that this limits his authority as a father.
Quianna reports that she is tired all the time and that she is left alone to deal with the children on her own. She reports that she has been particularly fatigued
since the birth of her youngest child, Cedric. Adding to her fatigue is her difficulty in sleeping that she attributes to nightmares related to Julio’s shooting years
ago, which has been compounded by the recent violence the family witnessed. According to her, all of the children are unruly and she reports not having the
energy to deal with them anymore. Quianna holds fond memories of her own childhood when she was intimately connected to and supported by her family. She
reminisces about their family gatherings and church-related activities. She wishes that she could provide a similar childhood for her children. She states that she
is very concerned about Rico, who has had several run-ins with the law because he repeatedly violates curfew and the police suspect that he is affiliated with a
local gang. Rico is often truant and is at high risk for being held back this year. For his part, Rico sees no value in completing high school. He thinks that trying to
complete high school is futile and imagines that he will follow in his parents’ footsteps and drop out of school eventually.
Community
The Englewood neighborhood of Chicago is located on the city’s south side, approximately seven miles south of the Loop. While most of its residents are African
American, there has been an influx of diverse groups. At its height, Englewood had nearly 100,000 residents, but in the past decade or so the population has
significantly declined, leaving just over 30,000 residents.
The area is plagued by violence, poverty, and unemployment. Numerous gangs operate in the neighborhood. Even those who resist the pressure to affiliate with
gangs are at an increased risk of violence. If gang members reside on a block, there exists an assumption among rival gang members that all others who reside on
the block are in some way connected to the gang who operates in the area. There have been more than 17 murders in the past year in Englewood, along with
countless other shootings, rapes, acts of gang violence, and other types of violence.
Despite the negative conditions that exist in the community, there are many residents who have formally organized to address the issues that leave the residents
at risk. An example of the community outreach efforts is the online Englewood Portal. On this website, community members can find helpful organizations
including social services, block clubs, and faith-based organizations, as well as community resources and employment opportunities. Another Chicago-based
organization, CeaseFire Illinois—a Cure Violence organization—has an increasing presence in Englewood.

What two key historical figures are discussed in the article, and what’s their connection?
How and why is the Cyrus Cylinder important to the kinds of freedom enjoyed in liberal Western-style democracies such as Britain and the United States?

That is a summarization of the assignment. Below are the instructions from the prompt please go over it to have a better idea about the assignment.
Protocol:
The board is a chance for you to express your own opinions and personalities, so you can go off in different directions, as long as you’re clearly responding to the chosen topics.
You must choose one topic from each module listed (there are always two). For this week, therefore, if your main response is from Module 3, your second (short) response must be from Module 4 (or vice versa). You will lose credit if you don't follow this policy, no matter how lengthy or well-written your posts.
Do NOT attach a separate document with your typed comments. Instead, write/reply directly in the thread.
Always title your post with the name of the article or a brief summary of its content, so people know at a glance your focus (e.g., "Thera mega-eruption," "My reaction to Heinrich Schliemann," etc.). See Module 3 or 4 for the original articles/videos.
Feel free to post articles, images, etc. I might award extra points to clever and relevant links (I gave a couple of examples in the slides that followed Stonehenge in the Module 1 slideshow). But please – no tired memes or tweets, and absolutely nothing cruel or off-color.
Grading:
Before you start writing, you're expected to read all topics, which are testable on the exam.
You get an initial 5 points for writing a post on-topic (as opposed to chatting about your love life, your favorite bands, etc.). You get a further 10 points for writing a coherent and reflective consideration of that chosen topic. Take it seriously; think of it as a mini-essay. This initial post must be at least 200 words and must include a word count at the end. Once posted, it will allow the board to open and connect you with your peers.
Then you get 5 points each for a response to a topic from the other module, and one response to a student post on any topic (you're welcome to talk to multiple students too, of course). That way you're always discussing at least two different topics from two different modules. These second and third posts must be at least 50 words each.
If there's no second topic yet under discussion, be the first and start a new thread!
You should be sympathetic to and interested in what your peers have to say, and it should be clear from your response that you've read the article(s) in question. Frivolous, dishonest, or obviously undeveloped responses will earn No Credit.
I want everyone to feel their opinions are respected and equally valid (whether you consider yourself a “good” writer or not), so as long as you do this to my satisfaction, you’ll usually get full credit. However, you'll lose points for any missing, off-topic, or poorly developed elements (initial post/second post/peer response). Therefore, follow the directions and you'll get the points: it's Either/Or!
Let's review:
Using the questions below as a jump-off point, respond to one of these assigned readings (200 words minimum). Once you've done that, the board will open up and you can see what everyone else has written, including initial comments from me.
Take your time to absorb what other people have to say, which may help you choose a second topic or focus your thoughts.
When you're ready, comment on a second topic, chosen from the other module. This can be a new thread that you start or in response to another student's comment on that second topic. Then you must comment on at least one other student post (topic/module open).
At least 300 words total are expected (be sure to add word count).
Refer back to the particular module (3 or 4, in this case) for the relevant material.
REMINDER: all readings are assigned and testable on the exam, whether or not you write on them as your D-Board response.

Family and Community Care Plan
This case scenario is what you will use to complete the family and community care plan.Case Scenario
Family
Julio (age 33) and Quianna Riverez (age 30) live in Chicago, Illinois with their five children, ages one, three, four, seven, and 15. Both parents dropped out of high
school when Quianna became pregnant with their oldest child, Rico. Initially they lived with Quianna’s parents, later getting an apartment in the Englewood area
of the city, where they still currently reside. Right after they moved into their own residence, they were relieved to be on their own, in part due to the chronic
conflict between Julio and Quianna’s parents that continues to this day. A few weeks after moving to Englewood, they realized that the violence the
neighborhood was known for would make an indelible mark on each of their lives. Julio was shot in the chest when rival gang members fought for turf in front of
the family’s apartment. Although he survived, he was left with lingering health issues resulting from extensive scar tissue in his lungs. For her part, Quianna
continues to struggle with the emotional impact of Julio’s shooting. Both parents have seen plenty of violence in the vicinity of their home, yet they feel trapped
since there is no money for daily necessities, much less relocation. Their feelings of helplessness and fear have intensified since a shoot-out last week left three
dead, including a one-year-old infant in a stroller. The incident played out in front of the entire family as they were getting off a city bus. The family narrowly
missed being hit by gunfire themselves and had to spend several hours on the scene being interviewed by the police.
Julio’s family moved away from Chicago shortly after Rico’s birth. They have returned to the Miami, Florida area since it allows them to see the extended family
that immigrated to Miami from Cuba. They are estranged from Julio and Quianna because of the couple’s choice to not marry and their lack of participation in the
Catholic Church. Quianna’s family does continue to live in Chicago. Although they are accepting of the couple’s decision to not marry, they resent the fact that the
couple does not make an effort to attend family gatherings, and they wish that Quianna had married an African American man to maintain the family’s ethnic and
cultural heritage. Julio has great trouble being around Quianna’s family because he thinks they are controlling and they always share unrequested advice that he
does not wish to follow. For these reasons and others, the couple receives no social or financial support from either side of the family.
Julio currently works two part-time jobs; one is at a local diner where he is a cook, and the other is at a factory, where he works third shift as a maintenance
person. Quianna has always stayed home to raise the children. The couple’s finances are not adequate to pay for the necessities of life such as groceries, housing,
and utilities. In fact, their utilities were shut off at the beginning of April due to nonpayment. It is becoming increasingly frequent that Julio must walk to and
from work due to the family’s inability to pay the fees for public transportation. A major stressor for the couple is that Julio’s original language is Spanish and he
continues to struggle to communicate in English. When the couple experiences conflict, Julio often shuts down or leaves the residence due to his challenges in
expressing his thoughts and feelings. All of the couple’s children speak English exclusively and Julio feels that this limits his authority as a father.
Quianna reports that she is tired all the time and that she is left alone to deal with the children on her own. She reports that she has been particularly fatigued
since the birth of her youngest child, Cedric. Adding to her fatigue is her difficulty in sleeping that she attributes to nightmares related to Julio’s shooting years
ago, which has been compounded by the recent violence the family witnessed. According to her, all of the children are unruly and she reports not having the
energy to deal with them anymore. Quianna holds fond memories of her own childhood when she was intimately connected to and supported by her family. She
reminisces about their family gatherings and church-related activities. She wishes that she could provide a similar childhood for her children. She states that she
is very concerned about Rico, who has had several run-ins with the law because he repeatedly violates curfew and the police suspect that he is affiliated with a
local gang. Rico is often truant and is at high risk for being held back this year. For his part, Rico sees no value in completing high school. He thinks that trying to
complete high school is futile and imagines that he will follow in his parents’ footsteps and drop out of school eventually.
Community
The Englewood neighborhood of Chicago is located on the city’s south side, approximately seven miles south of the Loop. While most of its residents are African
American, there has been an influx of diverse groups. At its height, Englewood had nearly 100,000 residents, but in the past decade or so the population has
significantly declined, leaving just over 30,000 residents.
The area is plagued by violence, poverty, and unemployment. Numerous gangs operate in the neighborhood. Even those who resist the pressure to affiliate with
gangs are at an increased risk of violence. If gang members reside on a block, there exists an assumption among rival gang members that all others who reside on
the block are in some way connected to the gang who operates in the area. There have been more than 17 murders in the past year in Englewood, along with
countless other shootings, rapes, acts of gang violence, and other types of violence.
Despite the negative conditions that exist in the community, there are many residents who have formally organized to address the issues that leave the residents
at risk. An example of the community outreach efforts is the online Englewood Portal. On this website, community members can find helpful organizations
including social services, block clubs, and faith-based organizations, as well as community resources and employment opportunities. Another Chicago-based
organization, CeaseFire Illinois—a Cure Violence organization—has an increasing presence in Englewood.
