Question

At times, we all ponder the world around us. We ask questions like: “How does THAT relationship work?” and “What might be the cause of THAT?” and “How can THAT situation be explained or defined?” Believe it or not, these are the types of questions that drive the work that researchers do. 

Imagine for a moment that you are a researcher, and that you have all possible resources available to you for research. What would you want to know about the world around you? About relationships? About people? What phenomena might you seek to understand or to explain?

If you were to be able to uncover the answers to your questions, what would that mean for you? How would the ability to do that influence your identity as a professional counselor? How would it influence your counseling practice?

Finally, to what extent do you see yourself as a future researcher-practitioner? Is this an identity that you think you can integrate into your overall identity as a professional? Is it even important to try to do so?

political opinion

QUESTION

A). Public opinion is very important in any democracy. Citizens should have the right to voice their opinions and have their leaders listen to their opinions. However, we know that many Americans do not care much about politics and government and do not voice their opinions. Why do many Americans not care about politics? What can be done to get more Americans involved in the political process? 

B). Political socialization is the process by which we acquire our political beliefs and attitudes. The three agents of political socialization are family, school, and peer groups. Using the three agents of socialization as a guide, describe in detail how the process of political socialization takes place.

C). Go to the following link, http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_clinton-5491.html. Once you click on the link, scroll down and analyze the graph. What does the graph show? Do you see a trend in the polling data, and what do you think explains the data? Based on the polling data why did Donald Trump win the Presidential election and not Hillary Clinton?

The Role of Gender in Mental illness Stigma

/0 Comments/in /by

Question

What is the take-home message of the article? 

List 3 mental health issues that YOU perceive to be “women’s issues.” Why are these perceived to be “women’s issues”? How might these issues affect men, directly or indirectly? Be sure that you are listing mental health issues. If you are unsure about whether the issue is classified as mental health, do some research to be sure. 

  1. List 3 mental health issues that YOU perceive to be “men’s issues.” Why are these perceived to be “men’s issues”? How might these issues affect women, directly or indirectly? 
  2. Consider the three mental health issues that you listed as being “women’s issues.” If you or a male member of your family had one of these conditions, how might that affect their health-seeking behaviors? Alternately, if you or a female member of your family had a mental health issue perceived as a “men’s issue,” how might that affect their health-seeking behaviors? 

Break the stereotypes- why are these issues not simply “women’s” or “men’s” mental health issues? Personal examples or experiences are encouraged.

Public Health case study

/0 Comments/in /by

Question

In each week of the class you will submit a one page (minimum) case study that takes a closer look at a public health issue in the US. With each of these one page responses, the student is responsible for identifying a community/public health issue, what group is particularly at risk from this public health problem, what is being done about the health problem now, and what policy could be used for this problem in the future. This, for example, could be lack of mental health resources for middle school students. A case study will discuss the issue, talk about why this particular group is so affected, what is being done, and what can be done to fix the lack of mental health resources for middle school students. When writing one of these case studies, make sure to use at least two (2) pieces of support from the library in the form of journal articles, magazine articles, and/or newspaper articles. Nothing from the WEB and nothing from WIKIPEDIA! Stay away from these.
