I need help with a coupld more assignments. The first one HAS to be submitted by Tuesday October 25th. Can you do this? I has to be 4 to 5 paragraphs with no more than 15% sim score. Here it is:

 

  • What are some of the philosophies that influenced Latin America? In what way did they impact the cultures of Latin America?
  • What contributions to society did folk and elite caudillos bring to Latin American society?
  • What impact did the encroachment of Europeans have upon the New World?

Here is the second one that HAS to be handed in Thursday October 27th. Here it is:

 

Library Research Assignment

Analyze and interpret the following quotation: "Worldwide, non-Western cultures faced fundamental challenges to their cultural identities-not so much a recentering of culture but a decentering of culture" (Sayre, 2010, p.419).

In the later nineteenth century and early twentieth century, what would a "decentering" of culture have meant for a given cultural group? Select from among the non-Western cultural groups noted in the text (Native American, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, or African) and research the impact of Western or European cultures on that group.

What was the selected non-Western culture like prior to the late nineteenth century? How did it change as a result of European expansion? How is this change representative of what Sayre calls a "decentering" of culture? Be sure to use specific examples and details.

Hi, I would be happy to help you with both of those, but I am wondering if you could re-post them as separate question threads? I generally prefer to keep questions separated. Thanks!

Customer replied 533 days and 22 hours ago.

Yes, I can post them separate. Here is the first one.

OK, thanks! I will try to have the one of the ones with the Tuesday deadline to you by the end of tomorrow. It may take longer than I think, in which case you will still hear from me tomorrow night. Then I will work on the second one, and have it to you before the deadline, hopefully by at least 5pm Tuesday. I would be happy to take care of the non-Western cultures paper as well, but I will have to wait until the other ones are done. Sound good?

Expert:  Chelsea replied 533 days and 20 hours ago.

Can you tell me what this sim score ended up for the one essay that I wrote for you? I want to know how close I was to the cutoff when I am writing this one, since your instructor is so focused on that measure. Thanks!

Picture
Expert:  Chelsea replied 533 days and 19 hours ago.

Can you send me a copy of the relevant texts for those questions? I started research and am having a bit of trouble finding enough sources. Sorry to keep sending you info requests tonight!

Customer replied 533 days and 12 hours ago.

The sim score with the references on the last one was 14%. 5 % on the actual paper. So this was good.

 

I cannot seem to copy the text. I can attach it as an attachment but there is no area for me to to this here.

Customer replied 533 days and 12 hours ago.

Can you send me a link that I can attach a pdf file to so you can get both chapters?

Picture
Expert:  Chelsea replied 533 days and 10 hours ago.

OK, have you ever used the website wikisend.com? What you can do is upload the PDFs and then send me the link to them. Let me know if you have a problem that way, and we'll figure out another way!

Customer replied 533 days and 9 hours ago.

I cannot get this to download into the wikisend.com and I am at work until 6 pm central time. I do not know what else I can do.

This may be a way to do this:

go to:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

sign in user name: xxxxxxxxxxx

password: XXXXXXXXXXXX

 

Then hit on the class link

HUMA215-1104A-03Topics in Cultural StudiesXXXXX XXXXXBEnter Classroom

 

Then on left of page go to Bookshelf then hit on the Discovering the Humanities Sayre Ed. 1 and you can view or download Chapter 8 and 10 for the assignment. If you have to log in to open the ebook. just use my user name and password. Remember to add the period between my first and last name on the user name.

Let me know if this works

Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX it logged into my information for you! So question: I originally thought that there were three questions, but now I am only seeing two different ones. Am I going crazy, or are there just two?

Customer replied 533 days and 7 hours ago.

 

Here are the THREE questions. I do not know what happened when I copied them, but the second time only two came up. You are not going crazy. My fault.

 

  • What are some of the philosophies that influenced Latin America? In what way did they impact the cultures of Latin America?
  • What contributions to society did folk and elite caudillos bring to Latin American society?
  • What impact did the encroachment of Europeans have upon the New World?

Expert:  Chelsea replied 533 days and 7 hours ago.

OK, that's what I thought I just wanted to check. And there are two essays, right--the Latin America one you just posted and then non-Western civilization? Thanks!

Customer replied 533 days and 6 hours ago.

yes, the second one is on the non-western civilization as follows:

the first one only has to be the three questions in about 5 paragraphs-the second one is a 4 page essay without cover, abstract & ref. pages. So it would be about 7 pages total

Picture
Expert:  Chelsea replied 533 days and 5 hours ago.

OK, got it. There is a brief "however" in here: however, would you be able to write the abstract for the paper? I have family coming into town on Thursday so I am getting a little bit stressed myself--if you can't, I'll understand, but it would help me out. Thanks!

Customer replied 533 days and 5 hours ago.

Yes, I can do the abstract for the second assignment. the first doesn't need one

You are awesome. Just wanted to let you know that the sim score on this paper was zero without the references. I have not ran it with the references yet.

Thank you so much.

I have two more assignments for you. Here is the next one due Tuesday November 1st:

 

Unit 5- Socio-Political and Economic Environment

Reading Assignment: Sayre, chapters 12-15

3-4 paragraphs

 

 

  • 1. How can better understanding our collective cultural heritage and shared humanity across time and geographic place help us to be better stewards of a global future?
  • 2. What role or roles do you believe understanding cultural differences across time and throughout the world plays outside academia, if any?

Support your response with specific examples or details.

Customer replied 530 days and 21 hours ago.

Please let me know if you can do both these papers. Here is the second one due Friday November 4, 2011:

 

 

Unit 5-Socio-Political and Economic Environment

Reading Assignment: Sayre, chapters 12-15

 

Artifacts of our own cultures surround us. From art and music to architecture and literature, from philosophy and religion to laws and economics, we live among cultural artifacts that have deep roots.

Select the single cultural artifact that you believe best represents the culture in which you live today. Present a detailed description of the artifact, and analyze in detail how the artifact relates to the values, beliefs of the culture. Investigate and evaluate the deep cultural roots of your artifact.

Also Include:

1. What historical roots allowed your artifact to come into being?

2. Which cultural periods might have influenced its eventual development?

3. How do you anticipate this artifact being passed to future generations?

4. What kinds of evolutions might it undergo as culture changes?

 

Craft an essay of 3-4 pages not including cover, abstract, and references pages that addresses these points from the perspective of someone trained in the Humanities.

Expert:  Chelsea replied 530 days and 21 hours ago.

Well, I'm going to be traveling between now and the due date of the second one, but I should be able to get the first one done. Would it be OK for me to do the first, on cultural heritage, but not the cultural artifact question?

Customer replied 530 days and 21 hours ago.

I was hoping to have you do both as soon as you can. If you could get them both done even before the due dates I would be willing to pay you an extra bonus. Would this be something you could do, since the first assignment is only 3 to 4 paragraphs?

I have been struggling with 10 hr workdays and my husband has been in intensive care for 2 weeks now and they still do not know what is wrong.

Please let me know if it is possible to get both these done ASAP before you do your traveling?

Thank You

LouAnn

Expert:  Chelsea replied 530 days and 21 hours ago.

I do really love working with you, and I think that I should be able to schedule it in OK. I will get the first one done ASAP, and then I can go from there but I WILL get it to you by your deadline. I wish you good luck with what sounds like a pretty horrible situation!

Customer replied 530 days and 21 hours ago.

Thank you so much.

Would you be able to post the second question that I'm working on into a completely separate question? Apparently it is JustAnswer policy. You can then request me as you've been doing, and if you want you can also put my name at the top of the question. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks!

Customer replied 530 days and 3 hours ago.

Ok, I have done this. Please let me know that you have received it. I put your name on the top of the question but there was no where else to request a certain expert.
