Introduction
The European Union (EU) is the heart and soul of modern Europe, yet it is not without its challenges. Whether it comes to trade issues, member states failing to follow regulations, or immigration issues, the EU has no end of problems that arise from year to year.

Sociology Law And Identity

Pages: 6 (1908 words) Sources: 1 Document Type:Essay Document #:83127915

...Test Introduction
Every traditional culture has its norms, which ultimately affect what is considered right or wrong. A clear distinction of this is best illustrated in the Middle East as compared to Western culture, where in the Middle East certain behaviors, e.g., kissing in public, in public is illegal as compared to in the west. This is basically as a result of the differences in the traditional cultures of these two regions, bearing in mind that religion is a core part of any culture. To this effect, it would be argued that culture affects law and identity, and to ensure that there is fairness and justice in any given society, then the cultural context of the people cannot be ignored. In her book, The Cultural Defense, Alison Dundes Renteln argues that \"Culture shapes individual identity in crucial ways. The failure of the law to recognize this has resulted in injustices\" (Renteln……

Educational Assessments Fairness Constructs And Ethics

Pages: 1 (323 words) Sources: 1 Document Type:Essay Document #:26368681

Fairness is a term commonly used but rarely understood, critiqued, or analyzed. When used in relation to educational testing, the concept of fairness is also cluttered by the conflicting evidence supporting the construct validity of assessments or the reliability of those assessments … validity of assessments or the reliability of those assessments for a diverse population. When consequential validity is also called into question, then educational testing itself becomes a quagmire. Yet teachers do need assessments to gauge student learning, or to provide students with the educational resources they need … justice. When teachers administer assessments, they should take great care to review the constructs in question and the populations on which the standardized test was based. Furthermore, teachers should also keep in mind that their interpretation of the results could be biased or even wrong and may ……

Plagiarism And Academic Accountability

Pages: 3 (870 words) Sources: 3 Document Type:Essay Document #:79505598

...Test Academic Accountability
Define academic voice and plagiarism.
Academic voice is a form of communication that uses a formal tone with clarity, professionalism, and straightforwardness. At its core are declarative statements, avoidance of causal language, and authoritative register (Dirgeyasa & Hum, 2017).
Plagiarism is the representation of another author’s work or ideas as own and without full acknowledgment.
Apply your knowledge of academic voice and plagiarism to the rewritten passage, locating and identifying errors.
“The correlational method can be very useful, but it must be used with caution.” - (this direct quote is done well, but there is no acknowledged through in-text citation, thus plagiarism). If knowledge of one variable (height) helps predict another (weight), does that mean that one causes the other? Not necessarily. It is possible that the primary variable caused the secondary, or that the secondary variable caused the primary, or that some additional variable caused both variables.……
