**This is the final, but below is what was asked for in the first draft. I didn’t do it.Here are the questions that you can use to get going on your first draft:1. What is your topic and why does it matter?2. Do you have a preliminary argument or thesis about it? ( you can answer this after you have responded to the other questions)3. Does your topic have a history or back-story or terms you need to clarify before you can proceed with your topic?4. What are the arguments you have in support of your topic and what evidence do you have to support each of these arguments? Write each of your arguments as.a series of paragraphs with clearly cited evidence. Be sure to have at least 4 good supporting arguments.5. Are there any counter-arguments to your position?5. How would you rebut these counter-arguments? Or, if you cannot entirely rebut these counter-arguments, can you explain why your position on the topic is still valid?6. Now that you have gone through all your arguments, how would you best phrase your thesis so that it accounts for both what your position is and why you hold it?You can write this preliminary first draft as a series of answers to these questions and worry about putting it together into a draft for when you meet me with your first draft next week. Remember though, these answers need to be in full paragraphs and not in bullet points.How long does this draft need to be?Just be sure that you have answered all the questions and that you are certain that you have enough evidence to make for a convincing paper. You should be at about 6-7 pages. If you are at much below that, you probably do not have enough material to go on. Remember, your final paper needs to be at least 8 pages at a minimum, but you don’t have to be there just yet.Citations:Make sure also that you have clearly cited your evidence parenthetically with author and page number. Ex: if you have quoted or paraphrased something from an article by Simon Marks on page 19, your parenthetical citation should read  (Marks 19). If your articles does not have an author, use the title instead.Works Cited pageBe sure to include a Works Cited page at the end of the draft. The in-text citations will be meaningless without it. Use the MILA style, no matter what kind of paper you are writing. You can, for now, use a citation generator like EasyBib Here is a link to the OWL Purdue site to help you with it.However, I do not want to you get too caught up in the nitty-gritty of citation style just yet. Just make sure that you have all the relavant details (auhtors, titles, journals, year of publication, dates, etc.) We will be spending a week in April going over the details of citation style and you can use that time to get the details cleaned up.

watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQWKpKbvc9Manswer: But why did people suddenly decide to start creating images of the world around them?You must use only evidence from having watched the film to address this questionThe discovery of the prehistoric cave paintings of Altamira gave 19th-century experts a clue to this question – they first theorized the obvious, prehistoric humans painted simply to represent the world around them. But that was not a real answer, for these early artists only seemed to paint one thing – animals. And they painted their pictures in dark caves, too, well away from the eyes of admirers.Scientists who study altered states of consciousness suggest the answer lies in the hard-wiring of the brain. People didn’t just one day decide to invent making pictures. Rather, prehistoric artists were experiencing sensory deprivation deep within their caves – in a sort of trance state – resulting in powerful hallucinations. These hallucinations were of such powerful emotional importance they felt compelled to paint them on the walls. According to this theory, these artists were simply nailing down their visions.

Please respond to the Professor to the questions he asked in your own words. I provided the website and my response.Go to: https://www.valuescentre.com/tools-assessments/pva/ . Follow the website instructions. Discuss your findings and how congruent your actions are to what your stated values. Based on these findings, create a personal values statement. Which Ethical Standards for Human Services connect to your top 5 values? Discuss how these connections will inform your practice as a human service practitioner.This is what I wrote:The results from the assessment of the personal value indicate that I am able to live a life that is balanced and fulfilled. The results further indicate that I am able to take ownership of my deeds and I use my moral standards to guide my decisions. They also state that I am protective and considerate of others and that I have high aspirations. Additionally, the results show that I am true to myself and I strive to live my life accordingly, I am modest and unpretentious and I am dedicated to all that I do (PVA, 2021).Certainly, my actions are congruent with the values stated in the results. For instance, while at work and I am encountered with an ethical dilemma, I often make a decision to the dilemma based on my moral standards. Also, as a leader, when making decisions, I am often considerate of how it will affect other people.My top five values include ethics, humility, personal fulfillment, integrity, and commitment. I am committed to taking part in human services activities and participating in them is personal fulfillment. I exhibit integrity while managing resources of various human services causes. Also, as a leader, I am humble and abide by ethical principles.The results from the assessment will inform my practice, as I will focus on tasks that require the values I score highly in to maximize output. In addition, it will use the results to build upon the areas I scored poorly on so that I can excel in all areas.ReferencesPVA (2021). Personal Values Assessment. Retrieved 10 March 2021 from https://www.valuescentre.com/tools-assessments/pva/Respond to:Angela, are you able to share with us either a current or made up example(s) to illustrate how you would implement your five top values? Further, could you do the same for how you would go about building up your values that you scored poorly on and why?

What am I expecting in your presentation:Memoir: summary with comments.  It should follow the country presentation.Country Presentation:Something about the Jews coming to that country and their history. (short)What the community was like during the colonial period.  It begins for example, in  Morocco is 1912; Tunisia late 19th cebtury; Algeria, 1830, Libya 1911, Egypt 1882, etc.).    Their involvement in civic life, Zionism, etc.  anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism;    A comment about urban/rural Jewish populations  (eg. Morocco—Atlas mts=rural/Casblanca=urban;  Iraq—Kurds=rural/Baghdad=urban) .I want a taste not a thesis.  It is to get your feet wet.Comments on how Europeanization (modernity) affected them?  especially religiously?  The foreign powers are different.  eg. Iraq–English; Syria — French;  Libya–Italian.  Thus, depending on the country you chose, we will hear differences (eg. speaking French with French education) and the use of Arabic. (Iran=Farsi).What happened in 1948—when State of Israel was created—impact on country and the Jewish population.What were waves of migration leaving country. Where did they go —Israel/other?  what numbers. Most of the answers to these questions can be found by searching the internet.  I just want some overview—-as I said above, getting your feet wet. You are NOT going into the weeds but I am getting a GPS on your direction. And most importantly, I get to see how you are beginning to dig the soil. (If paper 3-4 pages: 2 pages on background of country and about 2 pages on memoir).The country that I have chosen is Iraq and the memoir that I will be looking at is Last Days in Babylon by Marina Benjamin.
