Why does our world need heroes like him/her?

Creative Essay

REQUIREMENTS – READ BELOW

  1. Essay length should be a minimum of 400-500 words.
  2. Answer the following questions in your essay:
    • Who is the Penster?
    • What is his/her story?
    • Why does our world need heroes like him/her?

    Bear in mind: There is no need to answer the questions directly. Your answers could be traced all over the writing. For example, you could write about a real person that deserves the rank of the Penster (but don’t forget to explain why you consider him/her worthy of this title). You could also create a legend, a myth or a fairy tale and write about that. Or, if it suits you better, you could write a whole research paper on this topic.

  3. The recommended essay type would be narrative writing, but we give you complete freedom to express yourself in your own way. So don’t limit yourself to the suggested narrative writing, which normally would suit this task best.
  4. Do not write about yourself . We only care about the quality and creativity of your writing..
  5. Any point of view is acceptable. However, there must be no racism, sexism or fascism in your story. It is really hard to get these things into an essay about the Penster, so please don’t try to do it ☺.
  6. If you use clichés, use amusing ones. It is also okay to use slang as long as your writing style requires it. However, we would strongly recommend you to avoid profanity.
  7. You don’t have to stick to academic style in this essay

Briefly describe what DNA is and its structure. What are the restrictions on base pairings?

Forensic Science:

Respond to one of the following:

Option 1: Police investigating the scene of a sexual assault recover a large blanket that they believe may contain useful physical evidence.  They take it to the laboratory for a test for the presence of semen.  The serologist asks if the investigator knows of Respond to one of the following:

anything that might recently have been spilled on the blanket.  The investigator reports that an overturned bowl of grapes and watermelon was found on the scene, as well as broken glass that had contained wine.  The scientist selects and administers the best test for analyzing that blanket.  The blanket shows a positive reaction after three minutes of the completion of the test.  What test was probably used and what was the conclusion?  Explain your answer.

Option 2: Criminalist Cathy is collecting evidence from the victim of a sexual assault.  She places a sheet on the floor, asks the victim to disrobe, and places the clothing in a paper bag.  After collecting pubic combings and pubic hair samples, she takes two vaginal swabs, which she allows to air-dry before packaging.  Finally she collects blood, urine, and scalp hair samples from the victim.  What mistakes, if any, did Cathy make in collecting this evidence?

Option 3: A woman reports being mugged by a masked assailant, whom she scratched on the arm during a struggle.  The victim gives the police a good description of her attacker, but she is not sure whether the assailant was male or female.  Describe the steps and procedures you might use to determine the sex of the attacker.

Should the good-faith exception be extended to cases where police acting in good faith conduct warrantless searches that are later held to be unlawful?

Discussion Question

The Supreme Court has created a good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule where police rely on a search warrant that is later held to be invalid because the magistrate erred in finding probable cause for a search. Should the good-faith exception be extended to cases where police acting in good faith conduct warrantless searches that are later held to be unlawful?

What alternatives to the exclusionary rule might be adopted to enforce the protections of the Fourth Amendment? How effective are such alternatives likely to be?

Imagine that you have a large set of shells, rocks, leaves and sticks available in a variety of sizes.

We Can Help Them Play -Discussion

Through your Readings, you learned that teacher directed and child directed activities encourage play and teach different skills in all of the developmental domains. You can use ordinary objects or toys to create simple or complex play opportunities. Each activity gives you the opportunity to decide if you should play the role of a director or a supporting actor during play.

  • Imagine that you have a large set of shells, rocks, leaves and sticks available in a variety of sizes. You are going to use them in a teacher directed, small group activity for three kindergarten aged children of varying ability levels.
  • Provide 3 different examples, using the shells, rocks, leaves and sticks and any other necessary materials, of how you can adapt and direct the activities to encourage skill development.
    • Each example should be an activity which includes skills from the following domains: language domain, social-emotional domain, physical domain, and cognitive domain.
  • Using these materials, explain how to include different levels of play (from Parten and Piaget’s theories that we discussed in Unit 1).
Answer

What are some interventions that are used in the field currently?

Assignment 1: Discussion—Environmental Factors

Assignment 1: Discussion—Environmental Factors

In this assignment, you will have a chance to discuss a topic that brings personality theory together with social psychology. Dealing with unhealthy groups like gangs or cults is an important issue in social psychology. However, you cannot fully address this issue if you do not first understand personality development and how one’s personality affects the choices that are made. Specifically, you will look at Skinner’s behavioral perspective on personality development and discuss how that theory can play a role in this issue of unhealthy groups.

Bob is an adolescent who grew up in a gang-infested part of a large city. His parents provided little supervision while he was growing up and left Bob mostly on his own. He developed friendships with several kids in his neighborhood who were involved in gangs, and eventually joined a gang himself. Now crime and gang activities are a way of life for Bob. These have become his way to identify with his peer group and to support himself.

It is relatively easy to see that Bob’s environment has played a large role in his current lifestyle. This coincides with Skinner’s concept of environment being the sole determinant of how personality develops. Skinner believed that if you change someone’s environment and the reinforcements in that environment, you can change their behavior.

Use the Internet, Argosy University library resources, and your textbook to research Skinner’s concept of the environment and answer the following questions:

  • If you were to create an environment for Bob to change his behavior from that of a gang member to a respectable and law-abiding citizen, what types of environmental changes and positive reinforcements would you suggest and why?
  • What are some interventions that are used in the field currently? Are there any evidence-based programs that use these environmental and reinforcement interventions?

Write your initial response in 2–3 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
