InstructionsPlease choose two of the following questions to answer for this unit by Wednesday at 11:59pm (CST). You should also respond to two of your classmates' postings by Sunday at 11:59pm (CST).Before answering this unit's questions, you should view the film The Silence of the Lambs (1991) directed by Jonathan Demme. The film pits two very different serial killers against one another, with an FBI agent caught in the middle of their struggles for justice. Keep in mind, as you view the film, a few of the questions posted below.RubricOnline discussions will be graded according to the following rubric.Full-bodied entries—of at least ten sentences of writing from you (in addition to quotations from the text)—are more likely to receive full credit. Lesser credit will be assigned to work that is missing, brief, or clearly disengaged or sloppily produced such that miscues interfere with readability.Your responses to other students’ work are also assessed. Students often resist commenting on each others’ work in substantial ways; instead choosing to post simply “good job” or “looks okay to me.” This kind of peer response doesn’t help your own—or your peers’—development as a writer and thinker.Acceptable peer responses will, among other things:Explicitly identify what was learned from someone else’s work.Ask a follow-up question.Offer an alternative interpretation.Offer concrete strategies for improvement.PointsCriteria18-20Discussion posts are completed on-time; they not only thoughtfully respond to and incorporate course readings when appropriate, but they evidence creative thinking and make a significant contribution to peers’ understanding of the course topics. Moreover, follow-up posts/peer responses clarify and extend the class conversation, demonstrating critical thinking. 16-17Discussion posts are essentially complete and incorporate, when appropriate, excerpts from the course readings. Initial post is made by due date, and follow-up posts/peer responses engage others in continued discussion.11-15Discussion posts are incomplete, inaccurate, and/or late. Peer response is present but perfunctory, offering little “back” to enhance peers’ understanding.1-10Posts and peer responses are not made to all topic threads.0No posts are made, or posts are entered after the unit’s discussion has ended.Questions (Film)Choose two questions to answer:How does the film ask us to demonize Buffalo Bill as a villain, but redeem Hannibal Lecter? Or vice-versa? Support yourself with evidence from your viewing of the film. Be as specific as possible. Many of Hannibal Lecter's lines within the film have become famous in popular culture, even for those that have not seen the film. How does the humor associated with Lecter differ from the way that Buffalo Bill is treated in the film?The violent murders within the film are showcased and presented in strikingly different ways. Clarify and analyze the way that Jonathan Demme, the director of the film, depicts the kills from each of the serial killers.Does this film argue or condone a particular type of violence, in order to apprehend one serial killer? Theorize a few ideas about why we, as an audience need closure in the Buffalo Bill case, but find no need to resolve Hannibal Lecter's escape?Why does the film utilize Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) as its protagonist or hero? Does the film present gender here as an opportunity for viewers to see Hannibal Lecter as a savior character? How would the film have differed in form and content if the FBI protagonist was male? Show evidence from the film to support your claims.The film has a certain argument about "rudeness" as a reason for murder. How does Hannibal Lecter define rudeness--and why does it help justify his murders to a popular culture audience that might be unwilling to analyze this concept further? In the context of the film, is Buffalo Bill a rude character? Why or why not?

In this essay, you will examine the origins and goals of the Thirty Pesos Uprising in Chile. Your task is to identify the goal that if achieved, will contribute the most to reducing inequality in Chile. This movement has led to a now delayed plebiscite on October 25th. On that date, Chileans will answer the following two questions. “Do you want a new constitution?” “How would that new constitution be created? Through a mixed constitutional convention or through a constitutional convention?” (Mixed” is “composed of equal parts members elected to the convention and members of parliament.” The ‘non-mixed’ is without members of parliament). Using evidence drawn from lectures, the Spooner text and in Social and Political Foundations of Constitutions, you will: Identify the goal, that if achieved will do the most to reduce inequality in Chile. (You can choose from the options below or pick your own).The goals: Official recognition of indigenous rights The return of free university education Legalized abortion An end to the private pension system The Nationalization of utilities and transportation Other (?) 2. Argue whether that goal is best achieved through constitutional, or other means. If constitutional, which section of the current constitution needs to be amended or eliminated and why? Chapter III (Rights), IV (Government), V (Congress), VI (Judiciary), XI (Armed Forces and Police), XIII (Central Bank) If through other means, what are they? (Continued civil disobedience, special elections, price controls, labor negotiations, government rescue packages, etc.) (Provide details).  

Understanding the biological basis for a neurological condition provides the foundation upon which you can develop powerful questions and design experiments that support effective treatments. Given the prevalence of neurologic or psychiatric conditions in the population, development of strong treatments can lead to profound positive social change.To prepare:Review and implement the feedback your Instructor provided for Part 1 of your paper.Conduct additional research on your topic in order to develop an appropriate research question and experiment related to your chosen condition.By Day 7Your paper should be 10–15 pages, including the portions submitted in Week 5. Extend the sections of Part 1 as necessary based on the feedback from your Instructor. For Part 2, develop a research question and propose an experiment related to the condition.If your research question is quantitative, this should include a hypothesis about what answer you expect to your question and some basics of the experimental design, such as your methods and your experimental and control groups.If your question is qualitative, identify a phenomenon of study, the population or context you intend to study, and your research question, which is typically open-ended and would begin “What…” or “How…”.Please see the Final Paper Guidelines: Biologic Basis of Neurologic or Psychiatric Disorder in your Learning Resources for complete description.
