respond to each question in 10 lines minimum.

Step 1: Respond to the following: The political culture of the U.S. favors individualism. Yet, in spite of all that, the U.S. government can be described as a welfare state, which is one in which government agencies and programs provide benefits to the population, from “cradle to grave.” Importantly, a majority of U.S. adults look to government for at least part of their income, including corporate subsidies and support, and one in seven people in the U.S. is a government employee. Discuss how the U.S. norm of individualism can be reconciled to the welfare state. Is the solution simply to dismantle the welfare state? What might be the consequences? Discuss this from the perspective of both the structural-functional and the social-conflict approaches.

Step 2: Respond to the following: Do you think the reluctance of people in the U.S. to address problems through collective action shows that people are basically satisfied with their lives? Or that they think individuals acting together can’t make a difference?

Step 3: Respond to the following: Common-sense and media perspectives on terrorism emphasize its irrational nature. For example, terrorists are often characterized as disturbed or deviant individuals and their acts are framed as senseless reflections of pure hatred. Based on this unit, discuss how it might be possible to see those same acts as reasonable and sensible, at least to terrorists themselves? What leads groups to see terrorism as a logical, appropriate social movement strategy? What leads other groups to frame it differently?

 
Interpreting data and the scientific method (500 words/24 marks)

Below, a fictitious scenario is described in which a student researcher has gained the consent of Venus and her mother to take part in an investigation. The researcher is hoping that heart rate will be a useful marker of Venus’s levels of arousal and anxiety. In this hypothetical situation, Venus’s heart rate is monitored during two competitions under three conditions (resting, pre-beam and pre-bars) to see how it responds.

The researcher is interested in how Venus’s heart rate responds to different levels of competition and therefore decides to monitor her heart rate during a low-level competition (e.g. a club competition) and during a high-level competition (e.g. national championships).

Venus’s resting heart rate is measured with a heart rate monitor on the morning of each competition, before she gets out of bed. Her heart rate is also recorded using a heart rate monitor immediately before her performance on the beam (pre-beam) and immediately before her performance on the asymmetrical bars (pre-bars). Her warm-ups for both competitions and both events are similar.

The researcher wants to compare Venus’s heart rates on the beam and on the bars, as in the DVD clip she experiences more difficulties performing on the beam than she does on the bars.

The results gathered by the researcher are presented below.

Table 1: Venus’s heart rate (beats per minute, bpm)
Resting heart rate Pre-beam heart rate Pre-bars heart rate
Low-level competition 60 115 80
High-level competition 70 133 98
Questions

a. Interpret Venus’s heart rate data based on your knowledge of arousal and anxiety from Study Topic 2. For this part of the question, you need not take into account any concerns over the validity of the data. (250 words/12 marks)
b.Using your knowledge of the scientific method discussed in Study Topic 1, and your knowledge of anxiety and arousal gained from Study Topic 2, identify two limitations of this heart rate research and make recommendations for how each of these limitations could be addressed in order to improve the research. (250 words/12 marks)
Part 3

Analysis of your own experience (1000 words/70 marks)
Identify a situation when you experienced some degree of stress, arousal or anxiety in a sporting or other activity setting. Write an analysis of your experience using perspectives from Study Topic 2.
The account should be divided into two sections:
A description of the experience itself explaining what happened and any symptoms and sources of stress, anxiety and/or arousal (cognitive, somatic and behavioural), using ideas from Unit 3.
Section B: An analysis of the experience using ideas from Units 4 and 5 (700 words/60 marks)
An analysis of how your individual experience links to the ideas covered in Units 4 and 5, including the thoughts and feelings that you had during the experience and how you coped with the aspects of stress, anxiety and/or arousal that you identified in Section A.

are the questions I had hoped to go over yesterday in class. They should help you as you work on your next paper.

a. How do the two authors think about the relationship between God and the Devil?

b. How do the authors think about the relationship between New England and the devil. Is witchcraft more or less likely to be practiced in New England and why?

c. What sorts of proofs are reliable evidence of witchcraft and why? What alternate explanations does each provide (or reject) as explanations for the widespread confessions.

d. Why does Cotton Mather concentrate in detail on a handful of cases while John Hale instead gives a general overview of the trials. How does each method help to make the author’s point?

e. On the basis of interior evidence and the background I have given you, what do you think prompted each author to write?

f. Why does each author believe that God allowed the witch trials to happen?
Also please proofread before you send back, the last paper I received had quite a bit of grammatical errors and sentence structure errors.

A 5 year old boy, whose parents are undergoing a divorce, reports that he was sexually molested by his father. His mother takes him to a psychologist who evaluates him using various techniques, including a clinical interview, Anatomically Correct Dolls and a test she has created: “Detection of Childhood Abuse Test” (DCAT). The psychologist is called to testify in court about her findings.

1) What are the issues related to the validity of using Anatomically Correct Dolls for this purpose? Explain the basis for your opinion (that is, cite the relevant sources).

2) Cite at least one U.S. Supreme Court case (covered in this course) which provides guidance that the Judge could use to decide whether the psychologist can testify about the results from the DCAT? What are the factors which would need to be considered?

3) Aside from the tests administered, what would you want to know about the clinical interview to decide whether the testimony in that area should be considered credible?

Topic: Vulnerable Population and Self Awareness
Ponder about the following statement: All people have biases; self-awareness is the key to understanding how these biases affect the delivery of health care to individuals, families, and populations.
Select a vulnerable population as the focus of your paper. The population can be from any season and involve any of the characters.

Write a 1,200- to 1,400-word paper in which you apply criteria to select a vulnerable population, study that population’s demographics, and reflect on personal attitudes and values toward that population.
•Identify a vulnerable population.
•Describe the population’s demographics based on research of professional literature and websites including local, state, or national levels.
•Describe your personal awareness of the population before studying the demographics. Examples are attitudes, biases, and stereotypes.
•State the effect of research on personal attitudes after gathering knowledge.
•Include how knowledge might affect health care delivery.
•Describe the situation the character is in, and how you feel it should be dealt with based on the knowledge you have gathered about the population.
•Use self-reflection to evaluate your perceptions before and after learning about the population.
•Cite at least four references with at least three from the University Library.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

 

 

a 500-700 word essay that shows how and why people could use, hypothetically or in actuality, EACH of the nine (9) Lauer fallacies to explain RACISM.
After explicating the (il)logic of the fallacy, provide a supporting example by mimicking the language of someone expressing the fallacy; FOR EXAMPLE, “I had two Ivy-League educated bosses, and both were incompetent, and that’s why I don’t think graduates from elite colleges make good managers.

There are multiple issues with the structure of this essay. You see to have done a lot of research but are having problems bringing the information together in an organised and coherent written style. There is much repetition of ideas and varying definitions around the same concept. There is also a large amount of irrelevant information.
You do not seem to have unpacked the question nor identified the central idea of your essay clearly. This has meant your essay is repetitive and does not adequately address the entire question.
Do not use references more than 10 years old unless they are primary source documents.
You must get support in structuring and organising ideas into an appropriate essay form. You need to continue to work on improving your written English language skills.
I will send you the previous one that I submitted. Please help me to edit this one.

the unit name is: Love, Sex and Friendship
The essay Question is :
We live in a culture of capitalism. How do capitalist ways of thinking and doing influence modern attitudes and practices of intimacy in romantic relationships?

Luis and Camilla meet at an exhibit of rare moths, and fall in love. At dinner in a romantic Norwegian restaurant, Luis pours each of them a glass of champagne and asks Camilla to marry him. Camilla hesitates, but smiles broadly. Luis takes out a small box and presents Camilla with a $5,000 diamond ring. Camilla’s smile gets larger and she accepts the proposal. Luis, slightly worried by Camilla’s hesitation, says that if they are not married by June 15, he wants the ring back. Camilla forces a cheerful laugh as she eagerly slips the ring on. “Of course, Luis. Don’t worry.” A week later, Camilla dumps Luis for another guy. Luis sues for the ring. Camilla argues that Luis gave her the ring and it is hers to keep, whether they marry or not.
What should Luis argue? How would you rule? Explain your answer.
Assume the same facts, except that Camilla shows up at the church, eager to begin her marital bliss. Luis arrives late and declares that he is in love with a professional moth collector. He wants his ring back. How would you rule? Explain your answer.
