QUESTION

While psychological disorders still have a stigma, steps have been taken by some individuals to help others understand the disorders a little better. For example, photographer John William Keedy captured images to express anxiety disorders, OCD, and varied neuroses in “Photos Reveal What It’s Like to Have Anxiety Issues.” Review “What It’s Like to Have Schizophrenia,” which attempts to show viewers what it’s like to have schizophrenia. (Warning: the video is graphic and may be disturbing.)

Then there is a personal story from Healthline called “In Their Shoes: Understanding What Bipolar Disorder Feels Like” and another from Mills Baker called “What Does It Feel Like to Have Bipolar Disorder?” Both stories are told from the point of view of someone with bipolar disorder and try to capture what it’s like living with the illness.

After reviewing the readings and videos and further researching the topic, post a two-paragraph response to the following: 

How do our history and culture affect our understanding of psychological disorders? What, if anything, can be done to reduce the stigma attached to psychological disorders? Do the photographs, videos, and stories mentioned above help people to better understand the disorders, or do they serve to further stigmatize the disorders? Explain.

Studies have shown that having a low socioeconomic status (SES) increases the risk factor for developing a mental illness. Why might this be the case? Think about some of the symptoms of psychological disorders. What connections do you see between the symptoms and low SES?

Question

Read “Investigating Writing: Threshold Concepts and Transfer” (PDF available in Readings & Videos). 

After reading the chapter, take notes on the following prompts:

? Writing is . . . 

? Good writing is . . . 

? Good writers do or are . . . 

? Writers are influenced by . . .

? Learning to write involves . . . 

Then, do a mini “interview” with another person (not one in the class, please), asking them to respond to these prompts. (That person should NOT have read the chapter.) 

In your response, do the following for this assignment: 

First, compare your new responses to those you wrote to these same prompts in the Week 1: Writing Is … Response. *** Since I forgot to ask you to save your responses, I copy-pasted each of yours in Teams > Class Notebook > || > [Your Name] > Notes > Week 1 Writing Is… Original Responses. 

Comparing your first responses with the new versions you took notes on after the reading, think about what has changed or remained the same about your concept of writing. Explain. You may find it helpful to use examples from your original response during your discussion. In your response, include at least two cited sentences or passages from the assigned reading that contributed to changes in your response to the prompts. 

Next, discuss two or more of the responses from your mini interview: in what ways do they differ from yours, and did you gain any additional perspectives on writing?

“The Nymph’s Reply to The Shepherd”

Sir Raleigh’s poem was written as a response to Christopher Marlowe’s “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love”.

Sir Walter Raleigh’s Biography:

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/sir-walter-…

While Christopher Marlowe’s “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” is regarded as an idealistic poem of attraction, romantic expression, and pursuit, Sir Walter Raleigh’s  “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd” is regarded as a more pessimistic or realistic response to the pursuit of a potential romantic partner or would be lover. 

In the link below, please carefully review, read, and compare Marlowe’s “Passionate Shepherd to His Love”, and Sir Raleigh”s “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd”.

Please incorporate your own unique voice and creative vocabulary to express yourself as either the pursuer or the pursued. 

WU Controversy Associated with Dissociative Disorders Essay

/0 Comments/in /by

Question

The DSM-5-TR is a diagnostic tool. It has evolved over the decades, as have the classifications and criteria within its pages. It is used not just for diagnosis, however, but also for billing, access to services, and legal cases. Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the DSM-5-TR, and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose. There is also controversy in the field over the legitimacy of certain dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder, which was formerly called multiple personality disorder.

In this Assignment, you will examine the controversy surrounding dissociative disorders. You will also explore clinical, ethical, and legal considerations pertinent to working with patients with these disorders.

QUESTION

Part of the requirements of this class is exercise. As the Catalog QUESTION states, “A combination of physical activity and lecture providing regular exercise to develop physical fitness.” 

You are required to exercise 3 times per week.

Each week I will provide 3 recorded yoga classes so you can exercise at home at your convenience. 

Each class is approximately 35-50 minutes long. 

When you have completed all three classes you will submit your answers to the following questions.

What did you enjoy about each of the three classes? Please designate each class. For example, in Class #1: I enjoyed the feeling of relaxation after I was done taking the class. I enjoyed the shoulder stretches because I have limited movement in my shoulders. I had a difficult time with the one-legged balance. You may discuss specific poses and exercises that you experienced in each of the videos. You will say something about each class. Please talk specifically about the classes so I know you are practicing along with each video.

What was difficult about the class, or did anything hurt? Be specific. For example, in Class #1: I can’t sit cross-legged on the floor. Is there another way I can complete the exercise without my legs hurting? That way I can help. You may also ask a question and I will answer your question in the comments area when I grade your weekly exercise assignment.

QUESTION

https://theconversation.com/when-communities-face-drinking-water-crises-bottled-water-is-a-temporary-solution-that-often-lasts-years-and-worsens-inequality-214615

Read the essay and look closely to see how the writer has integrated quotations in the argument. How has the writer introduced the quotations in the argument? What, if anything, has the writer said to explain the quotations? How has the writer tied the quotations to the essay? Based on what you read in this chapter about how to sandwich quotations, what revisions would you suggest?

Below is a passage from Christine Michel Carter’s 2019 Harper’s Bazaar essay, “How Feminism Is Stifling Our Sons.” In this essay, Carter points out how gender stereotypes are harmful to both girls and boys, and she argues that popular media needs to present more positive models of masculinity. Read this passage and choose a phrase or sentence to quote as a “they say” for an argument of your own. Use the templates from this chapter to sandwich this quote: introduce the quote, explain what it means, and connect it to your own ideas. Your entire response (the introduction, quote, explanation, and connection to your ideas) should be three or four sentences long.

We’ve committed so strongly to teaching girls they’re equal to boys that we’ve forgotten to extend the message to the boys themselves in a healthy, inclusive way. Along with our focus on feminism, we need to embrace a new men’s movement too—one that pays attention to the young boys who are discovering their manhood against a backdrop of hashtags and equality campaigns that tend to either overlook or vilify where masculinity fits in.
