Question description

For this assignment, you will need to select a song performed and recorded between January 1, 1960 and December 31, 1972. The term “popular song” does not refer to sales but to the type of song. The dictionary defines it as “appealing to the popular taste, including rock and pop and also soul, country, reggae, rap, and dance music.” The term excludes what is usually called “classical” music. So do not worry about whether the song you choose made it to the Top 100 Billboard charts and such.

The song you choose has to relate to the history we have been studying in this course. You will write a one paragraph answer to this question:

How does the song you have chosen reflect the ideas, opinions, and writings of people involved in the movements we have been studying?

These are the civil rights, black power, anti-Vietnam War, counterculture, and feminist movements. Your paragraph should start with a topic sentence that summarizes your judgment about the song’s relationship to these movements. The rest of the paragraph needs to discuss particular words or ideas in the song that relate to one or more of the movements. In this assignment, you may include quotations, but they must come from the song only. Commonly historians only quote sources when they want to discuss the particular words or phrases that an author uses, so it is appropriate for this assignment to quote from the song. Otherwise, you are to write the rest of the paragraph entirely in your own words. Your paragraph must be at least five sentences in length, including the topic sentence. Please remember to:

  • Put your name at the top of your paper
  • Type your paper double-spaced
  • Mention the title of the song and the performer (an individual or a group) in a title at the top of the paper or in the body of the paragraph
  • You must submit your paper on Blackboard by 11:00 p.m. on the date that it is due.
  • Submit your paper in a format compatible with Microsoft Word for Mac 2011. Note: Rich Text Format is a common format that is compatible with this standard. Please avoid using PDF or Apple Pages formats if you possibly can.
  • The link for submitting it is under the Writing Assignments section in a folder labeled “Popular Song Assignment.” In that folder is a link labeled “Submit the Popular Song Assignment.”
  • If something goes wrong submitting it on Blackboard, e-mail me a copy as an MS Word file before the deadline. Problems with Blackboard are not an excuse to submit the paper late.
  • This paper will be graded on a 50-point scale.
  • The grades of all late papers will be lowered two full letter grades (for example, an A paper becomes a C paper if it is late). And I will not accept the papers more than one week late.
  • Papers that include passages plagiarized from the Internet, another student’s paper, or any other source will receive a zero (no credit).You must also submit a copy of your song in MP3 format to me as an attachment to an e-mail, so that we can listen to it in class. Below is a list of songs from which you can choose if you like. Feel free to choose songs not on this list that fit the criteria at the beginning of the assignment sheet. Also, bring a copy of the lyrics to class with you; you do not need to make copies of the lyrics or send them to me in advance.

Foundations Of Mental Health Counseling – Professional Development Project

(Professional Development Project)

I need this back by Thursday January 25, 2018 at 2pm.

I’m in the state of Georgia

My journey into counseling is based on my mom being diagnosed with mental illness when I was five years old. Me being in foster care and living with different family members and experiencing every form of abuse from the age of 5 until 18. I had anger issues and I was passive aggressive. I used comedy as a way to take the focus off me but it was mostly in school towards those who offended me.  As an adult I went through a process of forgiving which lead me to wanting to help others.

Psychology Paper – The Link Between Early Onset Schizophrenia

(Early Onset Schizophrenia)

One way in which psychology examines issues in life-span development is to review current research on related topics. For this assignment you will review current research and provide a critical evaluation on that research through an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is simply a brief summary and analysis of the journal article reviewed. For more information on the required format of the bibliography please click on annotated bibliography template.

You will need to find research articles located in scholarly journals. Scholarly journal articles are also referred as primary source peer reviewed articles. A scholarly journal article can be found in the South University Online Library. To find more information regarding utilizing the South University Library and accessing scholarly journal articles click on Library Guide. What cannot be used for this assignment are web pages, magazines, newspapers, text books, and other books. Finally, current research for our purposes is an article that was published within the last 5 to 6 years.

Remember this is a course on human development so when looking for articles make sure that it is related to the subject matter covered in the course. Include one or more of the following as topic areas in your search:
•Major developmental theories across the lifespan
•Nature of geographic, gender, social, cognitive, emotional, and developmental factors during each period of development
•Developmental factors that impact one another.
•Historical and current trends in development
•Current trends which may differentially impact the future development of populations in the United States
•Social, and diversity issues related to developmental psychology

For this assignment you will find 2 journal articles for each of these age groups:
•Adulthood
•Older Adults

The annotated bibliography should include for each article.
•Write a 2 paragraph summary for each article.
•Write a 1-2 paragraph analysis and evaluation for each article found.
•Make sure to integrate what you learned in your course readings in that analysis

Summary: For week 5 you will also write a summary (1-2 pages) of what you learned from your research on the different age groups (including week 3 age groups) as seen from the life-span perspective. To assist in the development of this summary answer the following questions:
•After reviewing the current research in the various age groups what similarities did you find in the types of research and what was being studied? What differences did you find?
•Based on your course readings what developmental theories did you find that were applicable?
•Explain how the life-span perspective provides a way of better understanding the research reviewed.

Exploring Obesity and Diabetes: Current Research Overview

(Exploring Obesity and Diabetes)

Trident University International, RES500, Module 2 – SLP

 

Study Designs

 

The next step in the research process is immersing oneself in the empirical literature on your research topic to determine the extent to which your research question (identified in Module 1) has been addressed. To this end, please use the Trident University Online Library to conduct a literature search on your research topic. Remember, your goal is to discover the extent to which a knowledge gap exists with regard to your specific research question.

 

Your task for this assignment is to:

 

Locate five peer-reviewed journal articles that present studies relevant to your topic, and synthesize these into a four-page paper that summarizes the “current state of knowledge” with regard to your research question. Research question: Does obesity increase the risk of developing diabetes?

 

Note specifically,

 

1.    Study findings relative to your research question (positive, negative, and inconclusive).

 

2.    Any additional questions left unanswered by these studies.

 

3.    How addressing your research question would help to fill a knowledge gap (should your research question fall short of this, you may need to propose an alternative one).

 

4.    The specific population to which your study will apply (and ultimately, your study’s targeted sample).

 

SLP Assignment Expectations

 

1.    You are expected to consult the scholarly literature in preparing your paper; you are also expected to incorporate relevant background readings.

 

2.    Your paper should be written in your own words. This will enable me to assess your level of understanding.

 

3.    In order to earn full credit, you must clearly show that you have read all required background materials.

 

4.    Cite your references in the text of all papers and on the reference list at the end. For examples, look at the way the references are listed in the modules and on the background reading list.

 

5.    Proofread your paper to be sure grammar and punctuation are correct and that each part of the assignment has been addressed clearly and completely.

 

6.    Your assignment will not be graded until you have submitted an Originality Report with a Similarity Index (SI) score <20% (excluding direct quotes, quoted assignment instructions, and references). Papers not meeting this requirement by the end of the session will receive a score of 0 (grade of F). Do keep in mind that papers with a lower SI score may be returned for revisions. For example, if one paragraph accounting for only 10% of a paper is cut and pasted, the paper could be returned for revision, despite the low SI score. Please use the report and your SI score as a guide to improve the originality of your work.

 

Length: 4 pages typed, double-spaced.

 

Note: Wikipedia is not an acceptable source of information.

Assignment: Critiquing Quantitative, Qualitative, or Mixed Methods Studies
Essentials Of Evidence-Based Practice

(Essentials Of Evidence-Based Practice)

Critiquing the validity and robustness of research featured in journal articles provides a critical foundation for engaging in evidence-based practice. In Weeks 5 and 6, you explored quantitative research designs. In Week 7, you will examine qualitative and mixed methods research designs. For this Assignment, you will critique a quantitative and either a qualitative or a mixed methods research study and compare the types of information obtained in each.

To prepare:

· Select a health topic of interest to you that is relevant to your current area of practice- (Pediatric Nursing). The topic may be your Course Portfolio Project or a different topic of your choice.

· Using the Walden Library, locate two articles in scholarly journals that deal with your portfolio topic: 1) Select one article that utilizes a quantitative research design and 2) select a second article that utilizes either a qualitative OR a mixed methods design. These need to be single studies not systematic or integrative reviews (including meta-analysis and metasynthesis). You may use research articles from your reference list. If you cannot find these two types of research on your portfolio topic, you may choose another topic.

· Locate the following documents in this week’s Learning Resources to access the appropriate templates, which will guide your critique of each article:

  • Critique Template for a      Qualitative Study
  • Critique Template for a      Quantitative Study
  • Critique Template for a      Mixed-Methods Study

· Consider the fields in the templates as you review the information in each article. Begin to draft a paper in which you analyze the two research approaches as indicated below. Reflect on the overall value of both quantitative and qualitative research. If someone were to say to you, “Qualitative research is not real science,” how would you respond?

To complete this Assignment:(Essentials Of Evidence-Based Practice)

· Complete the two critiques using the appropriate templates.

· Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

· Contrast the types of information that you gained from examining the two different research approaches in the articles that you selected.

  • Describe the general advantages      and disadvantages of the two research approaches featured in the articles.      Use examples from the articles for support.
  • Formulate a response to the      claim that qualitative research is not real science. Highlight the general      insights that both quantitative and qualitative studies can provide to      researchers. Support your response with references to the Learning      Resources and other credible sources.

· As you complete this Assignment, remember to:

· Submit your paper to Grammarly and SafeAssign through the Walden Writing Center. Based on the Grammarly and SafeAssign reports, revise your paper as necessary.

· Reminder: The School of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references. The School of Nursing Sample Paper provided at the Walden Writing Center provides an example of those required elements (available from the Walden University website found in this week’s Learning Resources). All papers submitted must use this formatting.

· Combine all three parts of this assignment into one Word document including both critique templates and the narrative with your references. Submit this combined document.

Competencies in Psychology

(Competencies in Psychology Resources)

As mentioned in the unit studies, you have covered a wide range of competencies essential to your success as a professional in psychology and a graduate learner. For this discussion, reflect on your career exploration in the unit studies and the competencies most relevant to your vision as a psychology practitioner-scholar. In your post, respond to the following questions:

  • What skills and abilities are most critical to your success in your psychology specialization?
  • What did you learn from your professional interview that helped you clarify your vision and the competencies necessary for your success?
  • What relevant information did you gather from the Practitioner Resources tab in the PSY5002 & PSY5005 Research Guide?
  • What additional information do you need to clarify your vision as a professional in the field of psychology?

Psychology Competencies(Competencies in Psychology Resources)Throughout the course, you worked toward establishing a vision for your future career in psychology based on your passions, interests, and aspirations in the field. You have also covered a wide range of competencies relevant to your success as a psychology professional and graduate learner.

Workplace competencies are capabilities needed to accomplish tasks that are central to one’s profession. They comprise critical skills, knowledge, and attitudes. Understanding the competencies that are critical to your success is essential for preparing yourself to become a practitioner-scholar in your specialized field. You may know that education in such competencies is fundamental to Capella’s mission and philosophy. The syllabus of each course lists the competencies that learners will acquire and demonstrate in the course. At the levels of programs and specializations, these competencies are generalized as learner outcomes.

Investigate the following resources to identify the competencies needed for the specialization you are most interested in.

Following are the program outcomes for psychology and clinical psychology:

  • Determine the scientific merit of the professional literature.
  • Apply theoretical and research findings from the discipline of psychology to professional and academic activities.
  • Apply ethical principles and standards of psychology to academic and professional activities.
  • Embrace, respect, and respond to individual differences and diversity in the practice of psychology.
  • Communicate psychological concepts effectively using the professional standards of the discipline.

To find the outcomes for a specialization:

Visit the PsychologyJobs.com Web site and browse job openings by category or search with keywords related to your specialization. Make note of the competencies, requirements, and qualifications that employers desire for these positions.

Use these sources to develop a comprehensive list of about 10 competencies you will need for the specialization you are interested in. Be sure to note the sources of your information.

Reminder: Interviewing a Psychology Professional

If you have not already done so, as soon as possible, you should complete your interview with a professional in psychology who works in the specialization you are most interested in. Your questions should be formulated to find out about the nature of work in in the specialization, and what competencies, requirements and qualifications are needed for your success, and clarify appropriate goals and milestones. You will use this information in this unit’s discussion and in your final assignment.

Discussion: Psychodynamic Theories

/in , , /by

Discussion: Psychodynamic Theories

(Discussion: Psychodynamic Theories)

Psychodynamic theories of psychology emphasize the role of the unconscious mind and early childhood experiences in personality development. Despite the far-reaching influence of psychodynamic theories on the evolution and current state of psychology as a discipline, there were many initial criticisms about the relevance and validity of these theories. One criticism of early psychodynamic theories is that they fail to account for one’s free will in the relationship between early childhood experiences and subsequent behavior. Initial theories suggested that personality and existing behavior were directly and solely determined during childhood. Another criticism is what some perceived to be the lack of scientific rigor with which the theories were developed. For example, Freud’s theories were based on case studies of mostly middle class, white Victorian women. Therefore, critics argued that his theories could not be generalized or applied beyond this narrow population of patients. Another criticism of psychodynamic theories was that many of the related concepts and processes (e.g., the unconscious, ego, childhood memories, feelings of inferiority, symbolism, and interpretation of dreams) could not be objectively measured or easily replicated. This criticism gave rise to the emergence of behaviorism, which sought to establish psychology as a science through the objective and observable measures of external stimuli and behaviors.

Fortunately, researchers have attempted to address some of the criticisms of early psychodynamic theories by studying and testing the theories in a wide range of contexts. In this discussion, you will select a study involving one psychodynamic theory of interest to you and determine if and how the results supported the theory or contributed to its evolution.

To prepare

  • Review this week’s Learning Resources on psychodynamic theories.
  • Select one psychodynamic theory (e.g., psychoanalytic, psychosocial development) that interests you the most.
  • Locate a research article that includes the psychodynamic theory you selected.
  • Reflect on what you learned last week about the research-theory cycle. Think about how the theory was incorporated in the study and whether or not the findings provide evidence in support of the theory.
