In the early days an eCommerce site would connect directly with other website owners to become either affiliates of each other for free or an affiliate for an affiliate fee. For example, a faculty person might have a website and provide a link to Amazon as an Amazon affiliate. Today there are affiliation services that arrange the affiliation links. Investigate affiliation services. In a 3 to 4 paragraph essay with 1 cite from the text, identification of an affiliation service site and your experience recommend and justify an affiliation service for your group’s eCommerce business

Topic: Prisons, Reactions, Emotions
Hypothesis: New prisoners will be intimidated by the prison induction process.
Intro paragraph:
Prisons are a scary place. This is what we tell our children, and each-other. Prisons are where we send all the criminals, the murderers, the rapists, and the drug kingpins. Most prisoners have not done these crimes, but the reputation of prisons persuades the populace at large to see them that way. Criminals are also citizens, and while many criminals do not see themselves as “criminals,” they know that if they are caught they will be sent to prison. As we try to scare people strait with the idea of prison, it is no wonder that new prisoners will be frightened. As they go through the dehumanizing and rather mechanical prisoner orientation, designed to keep the prisoners in line by making sure they believe they cannot escape and that the guards can and will enforce the rules, prisoners are put into the prison population. Different prisoners react differently to this alien world, where they are all but stripped of their rights and identity. They do not know what is safe or dangerous. In addition, they don’t know who wants to kill them and who they might be able to trust. Prison is a harsh world, and established ecology is wary of newcomers, taking time to allow them to show their stripes before moving to prey on them, or to induct them into the pack. In such a world, we predict new prisoners will be intimidated by the prison induction process.
OPTION 1:
What is NSC-68? Was it the driving policy behind all U.S. interventions from the Truman Era to the Reagan Era? If not, what other factors drove U.S. interventions during the Cold War era? To answer this question, discuss at minimum the following U.S. interventions: Korea (1950), Iran (1953), Guatemala (1954), Congo (1961), Vietnam, Chile (1973), and Central America (1980s).
OPTION 2:
How did the U.S. transform from an expansive welfare state in the 1960s to neoliberalism in the 1970s and ‘80s? What impact has neoliberal policies of the last four decades had on inequality, labor, immigration, finance, race, and democracy? [Note: make sure you define your terms (i.e., ‘neoliberalism’), and be mindful of the fact that changes do not always occur from the top down.]
OPTION 3:
In what ways had the Civil Rights Movement, feminist movements, anti-war, Gay Liberation, urban radicalism [e.g., Black Panthers, Young Lords, Brown Berets, etc.], and student protests expanded democracy in the U.S.? What were some of the goals they failed to achieve (or were rolled back) by the end of the 1970s? How do these movements compare with the anti-globalization movement, post-9/11 antiwar protests, immigrant rights, and Occupy Wall Street? What were their objectives and how have they contributed to expanding democracy in the U.S.?
