Taking Sides “Self-Esteem” Essay

 
Taking Sides “Self-Esteem” Essay: Your 500-750 word, four-paragraph essay should address the following questions:
1) Paragraph 1: What are the strengths and weaknesses of the article representing the “yes” side?
2) Paragraph 2: What are the strengths and weaknesses of the article representing the “no” side?
3) Paragraph 3: All in all, which author(s) do you think were the most persuasive in arguing for their position? Explain why. Note: this is the most important of the four paragraphs.
4) Paragraph 4: A foundational concept in research psychology is “correlation does not imply causation”; this is partially because even if a causal relationship does exist between two variables, it’s had to know which variable is the cause, and which variable is the effect. Do you think that high self-esteem leads to good or bad outcomes, or does success/failure influence one’s self-esteem?

Challenges of introducing new type of music into a curriculum, where this type of music does not exist

.
Challenges, negatives and positives, and the best ways of introducing western classical music education into a curriculum where it does not exist in that country’s curriculum without loosing the folk music of the country itself.

-It is discussing the challenges and the affordances of introducing a new music and music curriculum in particular to a new nation/country, and educational system where that music does not exist.

We are talking specifically about introducing western classical music and how it can cover or vanish the folk music of the country itself if it is done too much/ or wrong/or/and without a proper study on how to introduce it without loosing the native music of the country itself
-We need examples of good and bad experiments, for example in England where classical music has become too western and there is hardly (if any) English folk music is being taught in the state schools in the UK for example, and many other examples that could be found like maybe north America, Asia or/and any other places. This should be backed-up with studies/books/articles that covered these countries e.g.1-we need examples of some countries that introduced western classical music to its people or education system and lost their music

2-we also need examples of other countries who succeeded in this without loosing their musical identity
So basically it is about:

* How to introduce it

* Why to introduce it

* The best ways of introducing it to the curriculum of a different country that doe’s not have it

* What could be the challenges, implications, and the difficulties culturally, educationally, financially, and/or even religiously in some cases (possibly).

* What could the best ways be to do that etc…

All this should be always backed-up with studies. Quotes from books, articles that have discussed these issues and the examples of the countries that succeeded and the ones that failed because they failed in preserving their folk music and lost their own music.

One very important thing please: this has to show the negative and the positives please so it is balanced between those who succeeded in this sort of implementation of a new music into their cultures and music curricula, and those who lost their own music because they gave so much attention the western classical music and gave no care to their own traditional music and as a consequence lost their traditional music and became too western.

Referencing style should be in footnotes (not in the text, I said there MLA because it says I have to chose something), but I want it in the footnotes please and it should be in this style bellow please:

First name and then family name, ‘title of the work’ (city of publication, publisher, year), page number(s).

Some examples are bellow for how to reference if it is a book, or from an article, or a website etc

INNOVATION AND TEACHING PLAN IN ENGLISH: MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES

 
This paper develops a yearly English teaching plan for the fifth grade of a elementary school in Spain. The annual teaching plan is focused on the personalization of education according to the different intelligences of the students of the classroom. To fulfil this, first, I conduct a literature review on the implementation of the theory of multiple intelligences in elementary education. The didactic development annual programme encompasses fifteen different unit plans for an entire academic year. One of them is designed in detail being its procedures focused on multiple intelligences and cooperative learning methodologies.

This project contributes to implementing the theory of multiple intelligences in FLT and to the personalization of education in a particular class group. The secondary contributions are the following:
First, to describe the different tools and strategies that can be applied to obtain a diagram of the different intelligences of our students.
Second, to contribute to the analysis of the most recurring kinds of minds in the group and to propose activities especially focused on the students’ intelligences.
And finally, and perhaps most important, it will provide a list of specific proposed activities that will focus on each of the different types intelligences to work with in class.

It is not necessary to do the teaching plan following the Spanish educational law neither come up with a specific group of students. I personally will add it later.

Criminal Forensic Psychology

Include question in your answer but do not use towards your page count. Paper should be at least 12 pages with the questions included.
I. Across several different topics this semester we have encountered situations in which the courts grapple with whether the decision to exclude evidence should be made using the standard of totality of the circumstances or whether there should be a Per Se exclusion.

1) Identify at least one case (covered in this course) relating to eyewitness identification where this issue was discussed. Which way did the court come down (that is, did they decide there should be a per se exclusion or did they decide that the standard should be totality of the circumstances)? Briefly describe the details of the case and explain the court’s decision. (2 points)

2) Identify at least one case (covered in this course) related to confessions (either adult or juvenile) in which this issue of per se versus totality of circumstances was discussed. Which way did the court come down (that is, did they decide there should be a per se exclusion or did they decide that the standard should be totality of the circumstances)? Briefly describe the details of the case and explain the court’s decision. (2 points)
3) Identify one advantage of using the per se standard and one advantage of using the totality of circumstances standard to determine if evidence should be excluded. (3 points)

II. The death penalty is a very controversial issue and the courts have flip-flopped in terms of setting standards for implementation of this punishment.

1) Describe a case (covered in this course) in which the Supreme Case considered the impact of race on the imposition of the death penalty. What was the court’s ruling? How did the court deal with social science data related to the issue? Do you think the court appropriately applied the social science data (explain your opinion)? (3 points)

2) What has the Supreme Court most recently decided about the constitutionality of executing mentally retarded defendants? Identify the case, as well as the previous Supreme Court case on this issue, and briefly explain the court’s rationale for its most recent decision. (2 points)

3) What has the Supreme Court most recently decided about the constitutionality of executing juvenile defendants? Identify the case, as well as the previous Supreme Court case on this issue, and explain the court’s rationale for its most recent decision. (2 points)

III. Discuss your understanding of the current state of the field regarding violence risk assessment in terms of the following:

1) What do we mean by an actuarial risk assessment tool? Name one such tool for violence risk assessment and one for sexual violence risk assessment. (2 points)

2) Violence risk can be assessed either through use of actuarial tools or through structured clinical judgment. Describe at least one advantage and one disadvantage of using: a) an actuarial tool; and b) structured clinical judgment, to assess risk of violent recidivism. (3 points)

3) What is the relationship between mental illness and violence? Be sure to cite the bases for your conclusions (that is, cite the research that justifies the conclusion). (3 points)
IV. In order for a defendant to give a valid confession, he or she must do so knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily.

1) In the lecture and the text, we discussed the case of Colorado v. Connelly. Which of the 3 elements (knowing, intelligent, voluntary) was the focus of the Connelly case? Briefly describe the case, the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling (that is, did the court decide that the confession should be admissible or not), and the court’s rationale. (3 points)

2) What are the 3 types of false confessions identified in the literature? Briefly describe the characteristics of these types of false confessions. (3 points)

3) The literature focuses on three factors that can contribute to false confessions: situational factors, intellectual factors , and personality factors. Choose two of these three factors and briefly explain how they can lead to false confessions. (2 points)
Extra Credit question (optional): (2 points)

V. An inmate who has completed his sentence for a charge of Rape is facing commitment as a Sexually Dangerous Predator. His lawyer claims that the hearing cannot proceed because the inmate is mentally ill and not competent to stand trial. The prosecutor does not contest that the man is mentally ill but claims that a sex offender commitment hearing can proceed without the defendant being competent to stand trial. What is your opinion? Explain your rationale.
