Document Summary

Constructivism challenges both realists and liberalists (who are opposites) Ideas are the most important and causal thing in world politics. They take liberal values and make the argument that you can realize these into ideas. The power of ideas and idea of relationships unites everyone. Norms of interaction matter, even for state entities. Constructivists think of the cold war self-fulfilling prophecy, and it wasn"t inevitable. There were many approaches and ways it could"ve gone. Examines events between the end of ww2 and the birth of the cold war and the ideas and ideologies practiced during these events. Applies ideas of sociology to make sense of ir. Certain things happen because of the culture of the people and from past events. The values of states make a difference in why states pursue different actions, and common sense helps us realize this. Have to look at norms for the use of war.

Introduction: The Glasgow Norms Scott et al. (2019) are a set of ratings for 5500 English words on nine different psycholinguistic dimensions. In this task, you’ll be looking at the correlation between age of acquisition and valence. Age of acquisition (AOA) is a measure estimating the age at which a particular word is learned. Valence (VAL) is a measure indicating the pleasantness of the concept named by a word (on a scale of 1 to 9, with 9 being most pleasant).1

I’ve randomly sampled 200 words from the full dataset, and extracted the words (Words), the mean age of acquisition for each word (AOA.M), and the mean valence for each word (VAL.M).

RStudio
Part A: Write an R script that does the following things. To begin, load the data (it has a header and uses tab to separate the columns). sa4 is the variable you should store the data in.

1. Compute Pearson’s 𝑟 and Kendall’s 𝜏 for the correlation between age of acquisition and valence. Store these in sa4.r and sa4.tau, respectively.

2. Using lm(), construct a linear model for the relationship between age of acquisition and valence. Use valence as the dependent variable. Store your model in sa4.model.

3. Using the line formula 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥+𝑏, calculate the expected valence for a word acquired at the age of 4 years old. Store this in four_years.expected.

4. Now calculate the actual valence for a word acquired at 4 years old, based on the data in the dataset. Since there’s no word acquired at exactly 4 years, get the words acquired between 3.9 years (inclusive) and 4.1 years (inclusive), and calculate the mean age of acquisition. Store this in four_years.actual.

5. Compute a statistical test to test the significance of Pearson’s 𝑟. Store the result of the test in sa4.r.test.

6. Compute a statistical test to test the significance of Kendall’s 𝜏. Store the result of the test in sa4.tau.test.

7. Calculate 𝑟 2 and store the result in sa4.rsquared.

Part B: Do the following using R.

1. Create a plot showing the relationship between age of acquisition and valence (recall that we’re treating valence as the dependent variable). Your plot should include a line of best fit.

2. Based on the plot, how would you characterize the relationship between age of acquisition and valence? Use the terminology about this correlation.

3. Report the results of your statistical test for Pearson’s 𝑟.

4. Report the results of your statistical test for Kendall’s 𝜏.

"Let's Get Controversial"

It's time to talk about a real issue upon which our political parties have taken solid stands, and greatly oppose one another.

Instructions: You are to read the party platforms (their stand and position on a given topic), given below. Objectively read (that means to keep your personal opinion out of it!!!) the party stand on the issue of abortion. In a discussion board post, answer the following questions.

• Based upon their statements of belief, which political party's platform sounds most in favor of the population majority?

• What party sounds like it favors a smaller group of people?

• What party stand do you most favor?

• What party do you think is most distant from reality?

• What party's candidate would you most be inclined to vote for in a major election?

In all your responses, make sure you give an explanation why you've stated what you've posted.

MOST IMPORTANT!!!! Do not pass judgment, flame, or use derogatory expressions (don't "name call").

Here are the party platforms:

Republican Party on Abortion--Ban abortion with Constitutional amendment

We say the unborn child has a fundamental right to life. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and we endorse legislation that the 14th Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children. Our purpose is to have legislative and judicial protection of that right against those who perform abortions. We oppose using public revenues for abortion and will not fund organizations which advocate it. We support the appointment of judges who respect the sanctity of innocent human life.
Source: Republican Platform adopted at GOP National Convention Aug 12, 2000

Democratic Party on Abortion--Choice is a fundamental, constitutional right

Democrats stand behind the right of every woman to choose. We believe it is a constitutional liberty. This year’s Supreme Court ruling show us that eliminating a woman’s right to choose is only one justice away. Our goal is to make abortion more rare, not more dangerous. We support contraceptive research, family planning, comprehensive family life education, and policies that support healthy childbearing.

Green Party on Abortion

We believe the right of a woman to control her own body is inalienable. It is essential that the option of a safe, legal abortion remains available.

Libertarian Party on Abortion-Abortion is a woman’s choice and does not concern the state

Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that libertarians can hold good-faith views on both sides, we believe the government should be kept out of the question. We condemn state-funded abortions. It is particularly harsh to force someone who believes that abortion is murder to pay for another’s abortion. It is the right of the woman, not the state, to decide the desirability of prenatal testing, Caesarean births, fetal surgery, and/or home births.

SQL Server

TASK

Is you will need to formalize the database design and use a DBMS (SQL Server, MySQL, etc) to build the database. You will NOT be required to build all the functionality as described above as part of this initial project. You will be responsible only for specific parts of the system and implementing specific features as described below. You should complete the following steps:
1. Analyze the data requirements described in the previous section. Decide which tables are required and which fields should go in which table. Normalize your design. If you wish, you may use an entity-relationship diagram. Create a table design showing the relationships between each table.
It is now time for your instructor to check your progress. After you have finished the preliminary design for the High Spirits Imports Management System, contact your instructor for a brief review.
2. Using your DBMS, create an SQL script to create the High Spirits database. Name the database HSxxxxx, where xxxxx is your student number. Save your script as step2.sql.
3. Create the tables in the HighSpirits database. You do not need to specify relationships in this script. Save your script as step3.sql.
4. Create a default database diagram. Add primary keys and relationships where they make sense. Print your diagram. Create a script that will add the necessary primary keys and foreign keys to the appropriate tables. Save your script as step4.sql.
5. Create a script that will create the needed constraints to enforce the data rules Mr. Tipple has specified. Save your script as step5.sql.
6. Using the provided source documents (see pictures 1 - 5 or download pdf file) populate your database with test data. Minimally, you need:

---->>> url for the pdf file

 4 customers (include High Spirits as a customer so you can track purchase transactions).
 5 transactions - at least 3 are sales type, 2 of which must be paid.
 4 countries, types and sizes
 6 products, each with a quantity specified
Save your script as step6.sql
7. Create a script that will show a list of customers (first name, last name, and phone number) and the total number of sales transactions they have made. Save your script as step7.sql. After running the script, save a screen capture of the output and save it as step7-output.jpg

8. Create a script that will show a list of products (product name, type, size) that have been purchased. Note: You must use an outer join for this query; a subquery is not acceptable. Save your script as step8.sql. After running the script, save a screen capture of the output and save it as step8-output.jpg
9. Create a script that will show a list of products (product name, type, size, supplier) that are from Australia. Save your script as step9.sql. After running the script, save a screen capture of the output and save it as step9-output.jpg
10. Create a script that will show a list of products (product name, type, size, customer, retail price, quantity sold). The script should also calculate the sum of the price field and the sum of the quantity sold from all times the products were sold and display it as a calculated field. Do not include purchases (Remember the status field is set to 0 for sales and 1 for purchases). Save your script as step10.sql. After running the script, save a screen capture of the output and save it as step10-output.jpg
11. Using your DBMS Help feature, explore the use of the SHOW command to display the contents of your database. Create a script that will display a list of tables in the database. Save this script as step11a.sql. Then create a script for each of the four main tables (Customers, Transactions, Products, Transaction details that will display all of the columns in the table. Save your scripts as step11b.sql to step11e.sql.
12. Finally, you will need to create the HS_Employees database. Using the data in the HS-Employees.xls spreadsheet, create a script to populate the Employees database with the data found there. Employee ID's should be unique and start with the two employee initials and then increment by a value of 1. It should be the primary key. Social Insurance numbers are unique for each individual. However, this does not make for a good Primary Key. You must ensure that there is not the ability to incorrectly enter someone else's SI number by mistake by making this field unique. Create the employee database and populate the employees table with the data as indicated above. Save your scripts as step12.sql and step12a.sql
