Dangerous traditions Question 4 There are many dangerous traditions that continue to be practiced today. 4. Write: How does the description of The Running of the Bulls in paragraph 8 contribute to the overall section, “Dangerous traditions”? The Running of the Bulls The Running of the Bulls takes place every year in Pamplona, Spain, during the nine-day festival of Sanfermines. During the second week in July, a group of cattle is let loose on a closed course on the town’s streets. Hundreds of people run ahead of the cattle, trying their best not to be trampled. The tradition dates back to the 14th century: when cattle were being transported to the market, people would hurry them along by running with them and creating a frenzy. It then became a tradition. But every year, over 200 people are injured during the Running of the Bulls, and since 1925, over a dozen people have died.

Hazing Hazing is the ritual of humiliating others as part of an initiation into an exclusive group. People sometimes make those wishing to join their organization run simple errands, but they have also been known to subject candidates to extreme forms of abuse. People “pledging” to join college fraternities and sororities have been bound and blindfolded, beaten, and forced to drink alcohol to the point of poisoning – all in the name of tradition and ritual, something that every member has had to go through. The effects of hazing can be consequential. They can include both physical and mental trauma, hospitalization, or even death. According to Franklin College journalism professor Hank Nuwer, there have been over 200 university hazing deaths since 1838, with 40 deaths taking place between 2007 and 2017. Most of these deaths were alcohol-related.

Paragraph 4 of the excerpt mainly reveals
a) the Founders motivation for writing the declaration of independence
b) a brief biography of the Founders
c) some important criticisms of the declaration of independence
d) the Founders goals for a new and improved government
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.-That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,-That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.-Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.”

I saw a perfect tree today by Lillian Allen
I saw a perfect tree today From my cabin bed on a Via Rail train Through the North of Ontario I saw a perfect tree today It was tall and thin and scraggly and prim Then I saw another just as perfect Short and sturdy with branches and brambles And then another with a rugged fat trunk Older than the rest, but just as perfect I saw a dozen trees in a clump sharing the light So their growth was stunted But regal they were, plumped and perfect And then a small twisted tree with leaves fallen, trunk slanted all the more perfect I saw tens and hundreds, and thousands And hundreds of thousands of trees Not one single tree exactly like another And yet they were all perfect, all perfect trees A man-child from Mississauga heading to bend steel To make his fortunes in the Alberta oil fields; “I’ve never seen so many trees in my whole life” A balding dude 30 years a social worker Retiring home to Winnipeg, calms; “Where I come from they cut them all down, long, long, long before I was born.” And I am reminded—This land, this land Where cities have sprouted, Blooming glistening skyscrapers at night T’was all covered with trees once One big forest we were once All perfect trees.

Item 1 In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work. Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version While solitary negative reactions or unjustified suggestions for change have the potential to dissipate feedback anonymously, but the ability to provide feedback anonymously may create a context where the rationale associated with specific suggestions can be more safely explored (Howard, Barrett, & Frick, 2010). However, we cannot assume that all anonymous online spaces will serve as safe social spaces. Teachers will rarely give anonymous feedback, but the experience of giving anonymous feedback may open a social space where learners can try out the reasons for their suggestions.

Item 2 In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work. Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version Because computer systems exhibit performative intelligence, we can teach them to do tasks. It is this very capability that makes it possible to use computers as an interactive medium for instruction and learning. It is interaction which sets computers systems apart from other media such as books, television, and film. However, present-day computers literally do not understand the culturally bound meanings of the messages which they manipulate during these interactions because such computers lack qualitative intelligence. References: Frick, T. (1997). Artificially intelligent tutoring systems: what computers can and can’t know. Journal of Educational Computing Research, 16(2), 107-124. According to Frick (1997), computer systems demonstrate performative intelligence, when compared to other media such as books, television, and film. Computers can be programmed to do things. This feature of computer systems makes them an alternative medium for instruction and learning. However, he claims that computer systems lack the ability to understand the meaning of messages they send and receive during interaction with students and teachers. References: Frick, T. (1997). Artificially intelligent tutoring systems: what computers can and can’t know. Journal of Educational Computing Research, 16(2), 107-124.
Item 3 In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work. Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version There is a design methodology called rapid prototyping, which has been used successfully in software engineering. Given similarities between software design and instructional design, we argue that rapid prototyping is a viable method for instructional design, especially for computer-based instruction. References: Tripp, S. D., & Bichelmeyer, B. A. (1990). Rapid prototyping: An alternative instructional design strategy. Educational Technology Research and Development, 38(1), 31-44. Tripp and Bichelmeyer (1990) suggested that rapid prototyping could be an advantageous methodology for developing innovative computer-based instruction. They noted that this approach has been used successfully in software engineering; hence, rapid prototyping could also be a viable method for instructional design due to many parallels between software design and instructional design.

Item 6 In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work. Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version In a complex task such as creating a website for learning, instructors may want to support the generation of multiple solutions in learners’ peer feedback. Anonymity may create a social context where learners feel freer to express varied ideas, and make the task of giving feedback less inhibited. However, teachers need to know just how anonymity impacts the learning dynamic in order to make informed choices about when anonymous configurations are appropriate in peer feedback. References: Howard, C. D., Barrett, A. F., St Frick, T. W. (2010). Anonymity to promote peer feedback: Pre-service teachers’ comments in asynchronous computer-mediated communication. Journal of Educational Computing Research, 43(1), 89—112. According to Howard, Barrett, and Frick (2010), in order to make appropriate choices educators must understand the ways in which hiding or showing the identity of participants can impact the interaction that takes place in peer feedback activities. Obscuring the identity of participants in peer feedback “may create a social context where learners feel freer to express varied ideas, and make the task of giving feedback less inhibited” (p. 90).

Item 7 In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work. Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version The concept of systems is really quite simple. The basic idea is that a system has parts that fit together to make a whole; but where it gets complicated – and interesting – is how those parts are connected or related to each other. There are many kinds of systems: government systems, health systems, military systems, business systems, and educational systems, to name a few. References: Frick, T. (1991). Restructuring education through technology. Bloomington, IN: Phi Delta Kappa Educational Foundation. Systems, including both business systems, and educational systems, are actually very simple.
