week 9 research paper 10 pages

Question Description

To prepare for this week’s Assignment complete the Learning Activity. ( I CHOSE FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY )

In a 10- to 15-page scholarly research paper, evaluate one Section (set of enforceable standards) from the APA Ethics Code (Sections 1 through 10) as it applies to a career role within your area of specialization. The enforceable standards are located in Chapters 4–13 of the textbook. Along with the textbook and APA Ethics Code, review and cite a minimum of five scholarly articles from peer-reviewed journals.

For this assignment, you should write your paper with a particular audience in mind: new employees who will begin working in this job role. Your goal is to inform them about the ethical standards that relate to this role and how their personal values and socio-cultural influences may affect their ethical decision-making in this role. First, choose a specific job role within your specialization, and then choose a Section of enforceable standards to apply to that job role. For example, if your specialization is Industrial and Organizational psychology, you could choose the career role of “consultant.” Then, you could choose the Section on “Privacy and Confidentiality,” and explain how the standards in this section relate to the daily work tasks of someone in that job. You should choose a job and Section most relevant to your career goals.

In the paper, consider how each standard of the Section would affect ethical decision-making in that job. For example, if you chose Section 4 on “Privacy and Confidentiality,” then explain how each standard, such as “4.01 Maintaining Confidentiality” and “4.02 Discussing the Limits of Confidentiality,” apply to that job. Provide the new employees with examples of work related activities, common dilemmas, and interactions in the workplace to which the standards relate. You will also synthesize the information from the articles and the course readings to support your main ideas in this paper.

Finally, in a one-page section, analyze the relationship between your personal values (beliefs, possible biases, morals, etc.) and ethical decision-making in this job role. Make suggestions for how the new employees can analyze their personal values and socio-cultural influences in relation to ethical decision-making in this role.

Be sure to address the following in your paper:

  1. What is the chosen job role that will serve as the context for your paper? What are some key job tasks, work related activities, and interactions associated with this job? Explain these as if you were presenting a summary of them to the new employees.
  2. Summarize your chosen Section of the Ethics Code. Be sure to address each of the standards of that section. Remember to write this with your audience in mind.
  3. How does each standard of the Section relate to typical work related activities, common dilemmas, and interactions of this job? Provide concrete examples to illustrate these for the new employees.
  4. Are there any ethical issues within your chosen job that are not explicitly covered in the APA Ethics Code?
  5. How do your personal values (beliefs, possible biases, morals, etc.) relate to the ethical codes associated with ethical decision-making in your chosen career role? How do you suggest new employees evaluate their personal values and how these relate to the Ethics Code?
  6. What personal and socio-cultural influences may contribute to your beliefs, values, and decision-making? How do you suggest new employees evaluate how their personal and socio-cultural influences may contribute to their beliefs, values, and decision-making? What resources could the new employees consult when facing an ethical dilemma?

Preparing for Project 2: Considering Audience, Purpose and Tone

Question Description

Writing Workshop: Considering Audience, Purpose and Tone

  • Due Sunday by 11:59pm

Background: In order to be as effective as possible when making an argument, the speaker or writer has to consider three important aspects: tone, purpose, and audience.

  1. Purpose. The reason the writer composes the paragraph.There are three major types of purpose: to inform, to persuade, or to entertain. These are not the only ones, but the are the most common.
  2. Tone. The attitude the writer conveys about the paragraph’s subject.Toneis the attitude of the writer, which means the author’s viewpoint on the subject matter. The tone of any essay is directly related to audience and purpose. You should also use relevant vocabulary to achieve your tone. As the writer of your essay, you want to make sure you are striking the right tone for your specific purpose and audience. There are a wide variety of possible tones for essays, including ‘sarcastic,’ ‘solemn,’ ‘critical,’ and ‘humorous.’
  1. Audience. The individual or group whom the writer intends to address. An important factor in determining your tone is your audience. To figure out your audience, ask yourself, ‘Who will read my essay?’ If your essay is for a grade in class, then your audience is your teacher or professor. If you are writing an essay to be published in a periodical, your audience is anyone who might read that periodical. It is very important to know your audience because you will craft your essay for a specific audience.

Imagine you are writing an essay on Adolf Hitler’s influence on Nazi Germany. If this essay is for your teacher, what sort of vocabulary and language will you use? Now imagine this essay is to introduce World War II to an elementary class. How will your vocabulary and language change? For your teacher, you will use advanced words and professional terminology. For the elementary class, you will need to use simple words and phrases because those students will have a very limited knowledge of Nazi Germany.

Realizing how your terminology and attitude might change depending on your audience will directly affect your tone. In the example above, with your teacher as your audience, your tone should be serious and professional. On the other hand, your tone will be much lighter with an elementary class as your audience. You should omit some of the more gruesome aspects of the war, like the atrocities committed by the Nazi’s towards Jews, and speak in a more relaxed manner since the students are at such a young age. This will make your tone much more informal.

Here is a video lesson on purpose and tone if you need more clarification.

Practicing Looking at Purpose, Audience and Tone

Knowing what you now know about purpose, audience and tone, please re-watch the videos from Oliver and Stuart and complete the chart below:

JRN2201 Write your own obituary

Question Description

Oh, the humanity! The world is mourning the untimely death of a brilliant and world-famous journalist — you! As only you could do, you came back just long enough to write your own obituary before going to that great newsroom in the sky for your reward. This obituary will be printed later this afternoon in the Troy Evening Daily Planet.

This is the one time that you may — in fact, you will have to — make up facts, quotes and other information to complete an assignment. You will have to make up your cause of death, place and time of death (your death should not happen today; it should be in the future).

You will need to create the glorious details of your exciting career, your life and your contributions to society. You may also want to invent your mate for this assignment.

While your facts for this assignment may be made up, your obituary must meet the following requirements:

  • Use correct AP style.
  • Use the software settings for paragraph indentions and double-spacing that we have specified in class.
  • Include a dateline in the proper format (all caps, followed by a long dash; consult the Stylebook as to whether to put the state name after the city).
  • In the story, mention the blog that you are using for JRN 2201 (you don’t need to mention JRN 2201). Provide a hyperlink to this blog.
  • Make sure your name is on your assignment.
  • The length should be 350 to 400 words.

File this story through Blackboard before the deadline given in class.

This is a news obituary — not the kind that a funeral home or a family would place in the newspaper as a paid notice. The story is mainly about the individual’s life, but his or her death is what makes it timely.

(By the way, it is common for the news media to write obituaries about living people so that something is ready to be published when that person dies. The media want to be prepared to run a story in the event of a known person’s death.)

Such an obituary includes quotations (from the subject and from others) and a biography. Here’s a general outline:

  • FIRST, report that so-and-so (full name) died. Tell what makes this person prominent: “Former President Richard Nixon died late Monday night of a heart attack.” NOTE also the cause of death; this is often not specific, but may be given in such phrases as “died of natural causes,” “died after a brief illness,” etc. The first paragraph typically includes the person’s age and the date and place of death.
  • SECOND, give a paragraph (or more if the subject’s importance warrants it) to briefly summarize the important points of the individual’s career.
  • THIRD, begin a chronological account. “He was born in Tampa, Florida, on Aug. 12, 1943, at the height of World War II, to John James and Norma Cox (Fedders), and grew up on the family farm south of town.”
  • DO NOT LEAVE OUT: facts of birth (date, place, parents); statistical record (marriage, divorce, children, grandchildren); survivors (including parents, spouse, children, brothers and sisters); educational experience; and major employers. The basic statistical facts may go into a separate paragraph by themselves (except for survivors, which always come last), or they may be worked into a larger narrative of the life.

Below is a link to an obituary that may be useful as a model:

Crminal justice and math question

Question Description

Please attach each part in a seperate file

Part 1A

Read the attached article and then use this space to respond to the question at the top of the page. (attached below)

Part 2A

  1. Solve the system of equations in the image below, explain your reasoning for how you got your answer. Show your work, even if it’s guess and check. The equations are written below the image if you are using a screen reader.
  2. Image result for math + puzzleThis is a set of four equations and four unknowns. A+B = 10, A+C = 11, B + D=4 and C-D=3.
  3. Find a math problem like this out there on the internet. I see one at least once a month on my facebook newsfeed. Share it here with the class, but don’t share the solution.

Part 3A

On July 30, 2017, 27 year old Queens, New York resident Joel Paul was at home with his mother, little sister and 16 year old brother. The brother heard a noise on the front porch, and expecting a pizza delivery he opened the front door. At the door was Shamel Shauvo a 26 year old man who was attempting to break into the house. What was not know to Joel Paul and his family was that Shauvo was wanted for an attempted murder in the state of Maryland 10 days earlier.

Shauvo forced his way into the house and started fighting with the 16 year old brother. His mother called to Joel for help who responded with a baseball bat and knife. As the fight continued Shauvo was stabbed and beaten with the bat. The fight left the interior of the home to the front porch with Shauvo being hit and stabbed there. Shauvo later died at a hospital from his injuries. Police investigated and determined the killing had been justifiable under the self-defense rule known as “Castle Rule”.

Several months later Queens District Attorney Richard Brown charged Joel Paul with voluntary manslaughter. The D.A indicated Joel Paul with intent caused the death of Shamel Shavuo without just cause. The D.A claimed under the “Retreat Doctrine” Joel Paul had a duty to retreat, and by pursuing the home intruder onto the porch eliminated deadly force for self-defense and thus the killing was not justified.

Discuss the following questions:

1. Do you agree with the District Attorneys decision? Why or why not?

2. If you were a jury member and a justification defense (protecting family / Castle rule) was used and the prosecution countered with the “Retreat Doctrine” how would you determine if deadly force was justified?

Part 3B

Answer the questions below from the textbook or/and other sources. Ensure to utilizing the formatting examples provided. Your responses to these questions should be typed, 12 point font, with your response for each question no longer than 150 words in length. Double-spacing requirements do apply, and you must cite any sources used in your responses.

Go to Section 5.6 of the textbook, scroll down to the section titled “You Be the Defense Attorney”. Read the four cases presented and respond in each case to the following question; 1). You are a well-known private defense attorney with a perfect record. Read the prompt, review the case, and then decide whether you would accept or reject it if you want to maintain your level of success and explain why.( I will provide a photo of said cases later today)

Develop a specific task analysis for this task.​

Question Description

For this assignment Develop a specific task analysis for this task. please respond with 500 word and follow the instructions I attached some resources


Think of a job site where you have found a job for an individual. Pick one task with which the individual had or might have had performance difficulty. Develop a specific task analysis for this task.

Task Analysis

Before the individual begins working, you must analyze the job and organize the daily routine. This includes identifying the areas in which various job tasks are performed, determining the essential and non-essential job functions, establishing a work routine, identifying supports in the workplace and designing appropriate training and support strategies. Usually, working one shift prior to introducing the individual to the position will be adequate for completing these activities. When you have performed the job, you can note the specific duties and estimate the amount of time required for completion of each task of the job.

In order to develop and use task analyses; you must follow these steps:

  1. Identify the specific task(s) needed to complete the activity.
  2. Observe and or perform the identified task(s).
  3. Develop a task analysis for each task.
  4. “Field test” your task analyses.
  5. Revise the task analyses as needed.
  6. Set a performance criterion for the individual.
  7. Determine the baseline for the individual’s current performance level.
  8. Begin skill acquisition training using the task analysis.
  9. Probe/test the individual’s performance on a regular basis.
  10. Provide skill acquisition training until performance criterion is met.

Characteristics of a “Good” Task Analysis:

  • The targeted behavior is specified.
  • Steps are stated in terms of observable behavior.
  • Steps are written with adequate detail and one behavior per step.
  • Each step results in a visible change in the task or process.
  • Steps are ordered from first to last.
  • Steps are worded in the form of a verbal cue.

Helpful hints for developing task analyses:

  • Make modifications: Do a written description of initial ideas, implement them, modify as needed, and rewrite them.
  • Through the use of discrimination, you can find ways to systematize tasks to fit the individual and the work site. For example, vacuuming in a pattern results in a clean rug and eliminates the need to discriminate where the rug is dirty.
  • By using the most efficient method of getting the job done, you can reduce the amount of movement required.
  • When you write cues or think about using cues, be clear, concise and direct to keep the individual aware of what he/she must do.

Sample Task Analyis

The following task analysis was developed for cleaning a bathroom toilet. The coach/specialist developed it from watching a co-worker perform the duty:

  1. Pick up the bucket, brush and cleanser.
  2. Fill bucket with clean water.
  3. Go to the first toilet.
  4. Put cleanser in the toilet.
  5. Set down container.
  6. Dip brush in bucket.
  7. Tap brush.
  8. Brush top of toilet.
  9. Brush sides of toilet.
  10. Brush front of toilet.
  11. Dip brush in bucket.
  12. Tap brush.
  13. Brush lid of toilet.
  14. Raise lid of toilet.
  15. Raise lid and brush.
  16. Brush inside of toilet.
  17. Dip brush in bucket.
  18. Tap brush.
  19. Lower lid of toilet.
  20. Brush outside of toilet bowl.
  21. Put brush in bucket.
  22. Get cleanser.
  23. Go to next toilet.

When observing an individual following these steps, it is important that you watch to see if he/she can follow them in an efficient and appropriate manner. For example, if the individual does not understand how many times to “tap the brush”, you could modify the instruction to say: “Tap the brush 3 times.” This is a very short example and it would need to be modified depending on the individual and the exact expectations of the employer for getting the task done.

i need 2 comments for these 2 submissions

Question Description

submission 1

  1. My first memoir topic that I am thinking about is writing about one of the lucid days my grandmother had when I lived her over the summer while she suffered from Alzheimer’s. It is a memory that I will never forget and it engrained in me. Living with her changed my life and I learned the lesson of never taking your life for granted and finding happiness where you are now in your life.
  2. Another memory I could use for my memoir is the phone call I got from my father while I was in library telling me he was cutting me off financially. Once again it is something that is extremely vivid to me, and I know I will be able to describe the call and my reaction in detail. The greater lesson I learned from this is becoming independent and learning how to adapt in any situation. My life changed all at once during that day.
  3. The third potential topic I could use is the way I found out my parents were getting divorced. I clearly remember parents screaming at each other, and it was just something in their voices that I knew they were getting divorced before they even told me. Everything I knew at 10 years old suddenly was gone, and I had learned a new way of life. The lesson I learned from this was how to become resilient and become flexible when hardships come your way in life.

Submission 2

  1. The first memoir topic that I am thinking of writing about is a memory. Specifically, the day my parents told me my dad was diagnosed with ALS. I think that this would be a good topic for my memoir because it was a pivotal moment that shaped the rest of my life, and a memory that I will never forget. The greater lesson I learned from this experience is how to be accepting of change during difficult times, and learning to adjust to a new way of life.
  2. The second memoir topic that I am thinking of writing is also a memory. It is about the day I got accepted to SDSU. I think that this would be a good topic for my memoir because it was my proudest moment, but also my most difficult. I had the choice of going to my dream school out of state but having to leave my dad whom was sick, or staying in-state with my family. The greater lesson that I learned was making big decisions can be difficult, but you have to trust your instincts.
  3. My third topic for my memoir is the memory I have of my mom coming to pick me up from school, telling me my grandpa passed away. I will always remember the look on my moms face before she told me the news. I think this would be a good topic for my memoir because this was the first time in my life I ever had to deal with loss. The greater lesson I learned was to never take advantage of the time you have with your loved ones, and that grief comes in many different forms.

the comments should include

  • Their topic’s appropriateness for a memoir
  • The moral or lesson learned
  • Which topic you think will be best for this project and why
  • Potential details that might need to be present for each topic

Complete Art Assignment (SHASTA)

Question Description

  1. Select one medium in which to experiment. Consider how this medium can be used to express an idea or to depict the subject you are considering. Your medium may be as simple as children’s poster paint or tempera paints or watercolor pan paint that can be found at most chain multi-product stores. You can paint on copier paper, poster paper (use the rougher side, as the slick side does not allow most paints to adhere), cardboard, or purchase a pad of watercolor or poster paint paper. You may use oil paint, but you will also need a solvent to clean brushes afterward. Be creative in finding materials that you may already have on hand, or purchase and share materials with other students. Once you have your materials at hand, plan your design in a few sketches. Select the best sketch and begin to experiment with your paints. Try to learn how to handle the tools and materials as you work; in this way, you’ll get the feel of the medium. Remember that the process is the learning experience… and should also be fun. You may create an exciting work, or not – most artists create more practice works than masterpieces. The purpose of the project is to become familiar with painting media.
  1. Create a collage using any “found” materials including paper, photographs, cardboard, packaging, sequins, etc. Be creative in your selection of materials so that you have a range of textures, colors, and content with which to work. Before beginning to paste down the items you have found, sketch out a general plan for your work. If your drawing skills are limited, find or take a photograph of a still life, group portrait, a nature scene, or another subject. Sketch the general shapes that you find within that image as the basis for your collage. If you wish to create a non-objective collage, then develop a concept or idea that you intend the collage to explore or present. Your collage may include drawing and painting as well as the pasted-in elements. Review the collage works in the chapter to see how different artists combine drawing and painting with collage.

  1. Take a photograph of your face. Turn the photograph upside down. Now try drawing the photo upside down. Try to keep the pencil always on the paper. Focus your attention on the upside-down photo, and glance at your drawing just occasionally. You may try tracing the photo with the hand opposite from with the one which you draw. Our hands seem to know where the other hand is. The facts are that we can draw better than we think. Our thinking gets in the way of our drawing. By turning the paper upside down and by using one hand to trace the edges, and the other to draw, we let our body do most of the drawing. You should tape both the photo and the drawing paper to the table so that they do not move as you draw. Before you begin your drawing, practice writing your name with your wrong hand, as you write with your usual writing hand. You will discover that you can write quite well in this fashion.

Discussion Reply 75 words min

Question Description

75 word min in APA format

Reply should be supported by personal experience, scripture, and/or academic references. In addition, if any “experts” are quoted, support your opinion using current APA format. Reply should focus on a meaningful point made in another candidate’s thread and provide substantive additional thoughts regarding the thread and an explanation of why the student agrees or disagrees with the idea presented in the thread.

In our increasingly digital age, one way that we can adapt our classrooms and learning strategies to help our students thrive is to simply use it in the classroom. Assessing our students by inventories to know and understand how they communicate can allow a teacher to utilize the idea and incorporate it into his or her lessons. For example, “By finding out what students like to do in their spare time, teachers can ensure a more positive atmosphere in the classroom while keeping in mind the goals and perceived needs of the lesson” (Richardson, Morgan, & Fleener, 2015, p.31).

If we are not aware of the advances and increase in changing technology, we seem too old or out of touch with students. We can get behind on communication avenues that could have a positive influence on students and teachers in the classroom. Since students are already using a various array of apps and games on their phones, we as educators need to help students learn how to apply the advancement in technology to their education and learning. A goal for a classroom could to be able to create a YouTube account and post videos on what the students have learned and posts results of experiments for science class. Allowing students to create meaningful and educational purpose filled videos as well as allow the students to build friendships and build rapport.

The potential benefits of using more technology and social types of communication in the classroom is preparing students for the changes in technology so they can be exposed for the workforce. If we allowed students to create blogs and comment on each of their peer’s work just like we are doing with our discussion board posts. Experiencing a blackboard post would be helping prepare students for college. Educators can utilize technology in the classroom so that it is being monitored in a controlled environment. I do not believe we could ever stop entirely the negative and sinfulness of humans and the way we negatively impact each other. “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33, English Standard Version Bible).

A negative impact that I could foresee in using more technology in the classroom is that students are neglecting paper and pencil. As an educator I always want my students to learn cursive writing. Time restrictions pushed that back for extra work or optional as homework. Our founding Fathers wrote many documents such as the Declaration of Independence in cursive. Our computers haven’t started typing in cursive just yet. Losing the form of communication that was created and established this country’s founding documents would be a loss of a great impact from our history.
