Footings for a structure are to be built beneath a basement slab on a clay at a depth of 20 ft. below present ground level. Representative consolidation tests on the soil produce a 0.043 slope of recompression curve. The groundwater table is 15 ft. below the ground surface. The soil has a unt weight of 120 pcf. The soil-void ratio is about 0.87. If the average bearing pressure on the footings is 2,600 psf., estimate the settlement of 10 ft. and 5 ft. square footings. Also , what is the factor of safety for the footings against bearing failure if the clay soil has an unconfined compressive strenght of 3,600 psf? The back of the book says that for a 5 ft. footing, the estimated settlement= 1.72 in. And for a 10ft. footing, the estimated settlement= 2.42 in. Also it says the Factor of Safety at least for the 5 t. footing is FS=5.554 .

First, Develop a short, bulleted 1-2 page outline of how you will respond, either , Pro (votes in favor of the question); or Con (votes against the question) to the case study below. Then, work on and complete your pro or con final Opinion on behalf of your City Council. Case Study: Throughout this course, we have been analyzing the concept of “disability”, ADA, and trying to understand what it means to be disabled. We have considered several approaches to forming a disability identity, and will begin to understand individual disability identities in the broader social and cultural systems in which they exist. This Case Study will challenge you to reconcile different disability identities with competing socio-cultural interests as you draw upon your readings in this course and your personal experiences: You represent the majority opinion of a city council charged with approving or rejecting a proposal from Corporation, Inc. that is before you. You have three weeks to investigate the proposal, hear arguments from your constituents, research the possible implications, and reach a consensus. You may refer to your course materials or outside materials to help you reach your decision. The Proposal by Corporation, Inc. is: To develop an unused plot adjacent to downtown Cityville into a state-of-the-art recreational center and outdoor playground for the area’s youth population called FUNTOWN. Corporation, Inc. will incur all costs associated with this development, at no expense to the Cityville taxpayers. This lot has been vacant for many years, and the Cityville Council has not had any other offers to develop it. Cityville is a small town, and FUNTOWN would represent the only playground and recreational center for Cityville’s many children. However, because Cityville only has two residents under the age of 18 with physical disabilities, the proposal of Corporation, Inc. does not include making any of the activities in FUNTOWN accessible to children with disabilities. Corporation, Inc. says that the accessibility needed for wheelchair users would be very expensive and change the types of activities they could include in FUNTOWN. Corporation, Inc. also tells the Council that they will likely not develop FUNTOWN at all if they must make every aspect of FUNTOWN accessible to the town’s two young wheelchair-users. Instead, Corporation, Inc. proposes to create a separate, smaller disability-friendly playground on the ground floor of a near-by building and call this place SMILETIME. Corporation, Inc. tells the Cityville Council that SMILETIME will also be state-of-the-art, but because it is much smaller and in an already-existing building, it will keep their costs down. As the Cityville Council, you must now decide what action to take with the Corporation, Inc. Proposal to build the FUNTOWN and SMILETIME facilities. Because we have not yet discussed all of the laws and legal implications of such a decision, you should feel free to l.

First, I'd like to say thank you all Khaalid A. Rahman Brett Silvers Etheridge for commenting and being a part of the discussion and hopefully the solution. I have done my research trying to find statistics that state the percentages of people based on race that commit crimes in any given area and have not been able to come up with any data that breaks the information by race (so if any of you have any reliable links please send them on) Greg Humbert your post is praised! "If man made the hierarchal system of race then man can abolish it." But can we really abolish it? As people we all have different cultures and beliefs. You are right, we play right into the sterotypes that they push on us and it is what is pushed by the media. To take away the term race and all it means I won't say is impossible but white america and white europe isn't going to let that happen. Kwesi Mark what I find through trying to create a mentoring program within the black community is that it is hard for us to even stick together when there is no sense of unity amongst us. We will support any other race but our own. Every few years we have these outbursts that makes America and other countries aware (again) of the racial tension in America, the 40s there was Marcus Garvey- the 60s there was Malcom X & Martin Luther King Jr. on, every few years the black communities in America uprise and revolt against the injustices and then are lulled back into conformity. Are we going to do that again? Because after us are our little cousins/ nieces/ nephews and then soon our own children. .

First writing assignment: Write a narrative summary of your notes describing what you experienced. Then, explain how each of the three sociological perspectives (structural-functionalism, symbolic interactionism, and social conflict) would analyze what you say. Your description of your observation should represent about 50% of your paper and your analysis another 50%, divided evenly between the three perspectives. At the end of your paper, discuss which perspective you think is the best suited to analyze your observation and why you think so. Short definitions: Structural functionalism = stability, survival, efficiency, predictability >> society Conflict = contradictions in society such as we are all equal but society is stratified (not equal) >> stress on members Symbolic interaction = meanings… how do we create meanings so that we can interact Example: Simple observation : I see a homeless man sitting by the side of the road and someone stops and yells get a job. Paradigm (theoretical approaches) Interpretations : Functionalism : Economics is an important part of the society and provides jobs. Part of our non-material (values, ideas, ideology) culture rests on the idea of hard work. This man is failing his responsibility to the society. Conflict : Although we state we are an equal society, not everyone has the same life chances (Weber). Some events may have given this man less opportunity or some structures of society deny him opportunity. We should correct the contradictions and find a way to help this member of the society. However, others may argue that he has plenty of opportunity and is not trying (probably a functionalist). Symbolic Interaction : What symbols and meanings are in play? Why do I think one man is homeless? Dress? Demeanor? What symbols and meanings is the “yelling man” using? What does this tell me about myself and society? SI is about how we interpret our world. Culture (material and non-material) and socialization as well as social control are important contributors when we think, react, and behave. Your observation paper should contain this type of analysis but to a greater degree. .

first peer: I must admit that as a nurse educator, I am continually evolving and my thoughts have transformed tremendously over the years. My strategies towards teaching have a strong foundation in the constructivist theory, which perceives learning as an active process through which learners construct new meaning and knowledge based on their present and past experiences (Bastable, 2013) . I hold the belief that genuine learning occurs when the educator keeps the lines of communication open and provides immediate feedback to the learner in a caring and non-threatening manner. I also strive to promote and encourage collaboration among students, as I believe this will enhance the capacity of all individuals to learn. In addition, as a nursing educator, I am aware that learners bring to the clinical and classroom setting many differing talents, life experiences and learning styles. Therefore, I aspire to customize and tailor my teaching strategies to reflect the distinct needs of the learners. I believe that by using a variety of teaching approaches, I can be in a better position to meet the distinct learning needs of my diverse students and empower them to make a positive impact in the nursing profession. I am also a strong believer in bringing my enthusiasm and passion for nursing to the classroom setting. Nonetheless, I must reiterate that apart from being a nurse educator, I am also an enthusiastic student with a strong believe that learning should be a life-long process. A major theory that has shaped my practice as an educator and a student is the Social Learning Theory advocated by Albert Bandura, which perceives learning to be a social activity (Aliakbari, Parvin, Heidari, & Haghani, 2015) . More importantly, I believe in being a positive role model so that I can make lasting impressions on my students and help to enhance their capacity to provide professional and culturally congruent care. second peer: During my first semester of nursing school I had the opportunity to initiate IV therapy. My instructor was patient and overly positive. She had me verbally go through the steps prior to entering the patient’s room. When we entered the patient’s room, my instructor introduced me and told the patient that I had practice in starting IVs. During the procedure she stood by my side and talked me through each step. After the leaving the patient’s room she told me that I did very well and gave me some advice on where I could improve for next time. The education setting was the hospital room. Her motivation strategy was to give positive reinforcement. The learning theory used for this situation was through passive agents. The delivery of the content was verbal/auditory and kinesthetic. This was my favorite and most respected instructed due to her style of teaching. .
