After reading the following short paragraph, please choose a topic from the list below and discuss its importance for the Personal Training industry.
In light of the state of the health of the U.S. population, and along with the proliferation of youth sports and “specialty” fitness programming, it is important for those who provide any sort of advice or oversight to clients, patients, and athletes to be appropriately credentialed. After choosing your topic, please discuss how it helps to assure the public that they can be confident with who they hiring. In addition, you may also comment on how you plan on helping to support and further “legitimize” the Personal Training industry, which for the purposes of our discussions includes Strength & Conditioning Coaches, Sport Coaches, and Personal Trainers. Be sure to use appropriate resources to justify your position.

This is a research project that will require the use of the library and/or the Internet. The research project should be in the form of a term paper intended to objectively report on the considered use of Balanced Scorecards on their projects for a well-established, fictitious, medium-sized Tier 1 supplier for Ford Motor Corporation which has recently established a Project Management Office.

The paper should be no more than 5 pages in length, including references – which are required when referencing your sources of information. A minimum of 5 different sources of information (magazines, periodicals, books, etc…) must be used and referenced to support your statements.

The paper should at a minimum include the following (with clearly marked bold headers for each section below):
1. Overview of Balanced Scorecards (what is it)
2. Advantages from a business and project management perspective – why should this supplier to Ford Motor Company implement Balanced Scorecards on all of their projects?
3. Concerns/Issues from a business and project management perspective – what problems might occur if this supplier to Ford Motor Company implements Balanced Scorecards on all of their projects?
4. Your recommendation for the supplier – should they implement Balanced Scorecards? Why or why not?

Considering This assignment requires you to demonstrate your knowledge of a social justice issue (which covers course material for the last weeks of class) AND to demonstrate your knowledge of course content through engagement and critical analysis with course material. This assignment is worth 30% of your final grade. For this assignment, you are asked to research an example of how people have engaged in the world to challenge injustice, transform social relations, and create social change while demonstrating the knowledge, understanding, and critical skills you have gained in this course. You are asked to research your example of “feminism” in practice, to describe the issue and activism involved, and how this example relates to key terms/your learning in this course.

This is an opportunity to apply course materials by engaging with concepts, vocabulary, theories, and themes of the course that help you describe and understand a social issue and the movement, person, or example of individuals working collectively to bring about social change. Conduct research to learn about your assigned topic, and then write a report that demonstrates what you have learned while engaging in critical analysis on why the issue exists, its history, who is impacted, what social relations give rise to this issue, and the ways people have worked together to address it and create change. Questions that should be directly addressed in your research project: 1. What is the issue, person, and/or movement you were assigned? 2. What is the social justice issue here? Can you make sense of it/explain why it exists through the use of course materials and reference to larger social relations?
3. What form(s) of social activism do you see being engaged in here?4.Which voices are speaking, from what perspective, who are they speaking to and what are they saying/trying to do?
5. What has this example taught you about social activism and social change? Has it inspired you in some way? How might you incorporate the lessons this example has to teach you into your daily life and relationships? You are also expected to incorporate two assigned readings in your textbook to make sense of the social issue and activism you are describing (cite in MLA format, author, and page number). A reading can be chosen because it tells you something about your topic/issue, the historical background knowledge required to understand why this issue exists, or helps you develop a critical analysis or understanding of the social relations involved. You will be assessed on the research you do to demonstrate knowledge on your issue/topic and to what extent to critically analyzed this topic through engagement with course materials (two scholarly sources from your textbook). Be sure to answer all the questions posed above, succinctly.

Kurdish Self-determination and Territorial Rights. Examine the Kurdish attempts towards greater self-determination within the context of the Stanford definition of Secession and Territorial rights.

For example, look at the recent referendum for secession in Iraq, the prior establishment of the KRG in Iraq, and attempts at building a ‘Rojava’ across the region.

Also, draw from information from the source attached.

Include a comparison between Choice and Nationalist theories of secession in the Kurdish context. (Can be a small section but would provide a relevant link to course material).

For outside sources, please use articles published in peer-reviewed scholarly journals.

I have also attached 3 copies of my own work from another course to help guide in the writing style.

This term paper is for a course on International Law with regards to Self Determination. The paper does not have to be an ‘A’ grade paper but I would like it to be at least a ‘B/B+’ grade. Thank you.
