Author: Custom Essay

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please read the Gatto and Tak (2008), Gentzler, et. al. (2011), Kirkorian, et. al. (2008), Marston, et. al. (2013), Napier (2014), Strasburger, et. al. (2010), and Thomée, et. al. (2011) required articles for the week.

In this discussion, you will describe the positive and negative influences of technology on human development within two periods across the lifespan. Choose two developmental periods of interest from the list below.
•Infancy and toddlerhood (0-3 years)

•Childhood (3-13 years)

•Adolescence (13-18 years)

•Young Adulthood (18-40 years)

•Middle-Late Adulthood (40+ years)

For your initial post, evaluate the unique scholarly perspectives presented in the required articles on your chosen developmental periods and describe the way(s) in which technology has either positively or negatively influenced physical, cognitive, and/or psychosocial development within the two developmental periods. Support your perspective(s) with references from the required peer-reviewed resources. Choose a theme of education, gender, socioeconomic status, culture, or family/parenting within your chosen developmental periods. Research at least one peer-reviewed article which demonstrates how your chosen theme may mediate the effect(s) of technology within your chosen developmental periods. Apply the developmental research from the articles to describe your theme of development within each of your two chosen periods.

Part I End-of-Life Decisions

Prior to completing this discussion, please read the American Psychological Association’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (2010) and Fact Sheet on End-of-Life Care (2014), as well as the Block, S. D., et al. (2006), Kwak, J., & Haley, W. E. (2005), and Torbic (2011) articles required for this week. You will also be required to find two additional peer-reviewed sources to support developmental psychology concepts and theory and apply them to this topic within the provided end-of-life case scenarios.
You are working as the social worker at an area hospital dealing primarily with end-of-life decisions and palliative care. For this discussion, you will be reviewing the PSY605 End-of-Life Case Scenarios document and making recommendations based on the information provided in the scenarios.

All end-of-life choices and medical decisions have complex psychosocial components, ramifications, and consequences that have a significant impact on suffering and the quality of living and dying. The issues involved in this process of decision making are based on issues of developmental stage, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, health, family, and physical, cognitive, and psychosocial states. For your initial post, you will apply concepts from developmental psychology to create your recommended courses of action for both Roger and Geri. Carefully review the PSY605 End-of-Life Case Scenarios document and then research at least one peer-reviewed article published within the last 10 years in the Ashford University Library for each of the scenarios.

For each scenario, explain human development in the context of the situation described using research to support your responses. Create a recommended course of action for each of the two scenarios by addressing the following questions:

What is the best recommended course of action for the client at this time, and why?

What potential effects would themes such as the client’s culture, ethnicity, family, education, and gender have on the situation and recommendation(s)?

How does the client’s developmental stage factor into your recommendation?

How do the client’s physical, cognitive, and psychosocial states affect your recommendation(s)?

How might the developmental stage(s) of the client’s family member(s) affect your recommendation?

How will you present your recommendation(s) to both the patient and family member(s)?

What consideration(s) would affect your manner of presentation?

Are there considerations that cannot be processed at this time because of lack of information in the written scenario?

Analyze and comment on the ethical considerations in each of the scenarios. Note how the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct might provide guidance. Evaluate the unique scholarly perspectives presented in your research to support your recommendations.

Part II Evaluate Existing Programming for People Across the Lifespan

Prior to completing this discussion, please read Chapter 21 from the Lerner, Easterbrooks, Mistry, and Weiner (2013) e-book and the review the list of programs included in the Federal Program Inventory published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2013) required for this week.

For this discussion, you will take on the role of a developmental psychologist reviewing an existing program to assess the program’s efficacy for the developmental stage(s) of the target audiences identified. Using the Federal Program Inventory as a guide, search for a human services program at work either in your local area or online. Find a program of interest to you that serves the need(s) of a specific population of individuals. You may want to refer to the Program Proposal Tracks and Topics in Developmental Psychology document for ideas on the types of programs to look for in your search.

For your initial post, create a brief summary of the program’s details that includes the information below.
Program title

The program’s purpose

Who the program serves, including age group, gender(s), race(s), cultures(s), and any special groups identified (veterans, people with disabilities, dog owners, etc.)

Program location

Agency/group running the program

When (or how often) the program takes place

You will then evaluate the elements of the program and the effectiveness of these elements for individuals and/or the community it serves. Explain human development in the context of current trends by evaluating the program through the lens of developmental psychology. Examine the application of developmental theory and research to policy and community agency as they are utilized in this program

How is the program appropriate for the targeted population, and why?

Are there any ways in which the program is not appropriate? If so, explain how the program or the population could be adjusted.

Are people able to easily find and get to the location? Is it accessible to the specific groups for whom the program is intended?

Is there a cost associated with the program? Is the cost appropriate, given the target population and expected outcomes? Why, or why not?

Which domains of development (physical, cognitive, and/or psychosocial) are emphasized by this program? How are these emphasized?

Could skills within other domains of development be incorporated into this program? Make recommendations as to how these might be included.

Is the program implementation (how often is it offered and what occurs each time) effective in promoting its purpose and achieving its goals? If so, how? If not, what suggestions would you make for improvement?

Analyze ethical considerations related developmental psychology within the program. Does the program appear to follow a moral and ethical code when working with people? If so, how? If not, what does the program need to address immediately?

Hi there,

This assignment is for my International Political Economy
Class, I want from you to write one page paper following the professor instructions below:

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct: Including 2010 Amendments and read the required Baltes (1987) article.
In this assignment you will choose five general topics of interest to you within the field of developmental psychology from the list below.
•Prenatal development
•Infant care
•Attachment
•Child development
•Adolescence
•Adulthood
•Gerontology/Aging
•Language development
•Parenting
•Relationships
•Education
•Physical development
•Cognitive development
•Psychosocial development

For each of your five chosen topics, research a peer-reviewed article in the Ashford University Library that was published within the last 10 years.

You will utilize your chosen articles to explain human development in the context of current trends within the selected topic. Critically evaluate the scholarly perspectives presented in the articles by describing strengths, limitations, inaccuracies or lack of clarity, and any remaining questions. Provide an analysis of ethical considerations in the research addressing the sample and methodology used. Apply the developmental theory presented in Baltes’s set of six principles that define our understanding of human development (lifelong, multidimensional, multidirectional, gains and losses, contextual and historical, and multidisciplinary) through a synthesis of the information from your chosen articles. The review should be formatted with the headings and content designated below.

Introduction
Begin with an introduction that briefly describes your topics, chosen articles, and the principle of development from Baltes (1987) to be addressed. The introduction should end with a succinct thesis statement that presents the idea of how each unique topic within developmental psychology can be applied to your chosen principle of development.

Summary and Critical Evaluation
In this section, you will summarize each article by highlighting the purpose, research questions and hypotheses, methods, results, and conclusions drawn regarding the topic the article represents. Then, evaluate the merits of the article, including the strengths, weakness and limitations, and future directions of the research. Additionally, evaluate whether you had any issues with accuracy or clarity in reading the article, and address any remaining questions you have. Finally, evaluate any ethical considerations that may or may not have been addressed by the authors of the articles.

Synthesis of Principles Defining the Lifespan Development Approach
In this section, you will integrate one of the principles of development which state that development is lifelong, multidimensional, multidirectional, gains and losses, contextual and historical, and/or multidisciplinary (Baltes, 1987). To do so, you will first describe your chosen principle and explain how it can be applied to each of your five topics. Construct clear arguments regarding how your chosen principle drives, and is influenced by key elements presented in the articles.

Conclusion
Synthesize the findings described in your five articles into a succinct conclusion in which you reaffirm your thesis statement and describe how the principle of development discussed in your review influences our understanding of human development across all five chosen topics. Address any remaining questions and overarching implications of the studies with regard to future directions in developmental psychology.

Topic: Provide a close reading of a passage from the attached book “Nadja” (excluding the “bronze glove” section) and interpret it in terms of surrealist aesthetic principles.

Paper Requirement:

12 times new roman, double space, work cited in MLA style. You are to submit the document through turnitin, a plagiarism-detection program. Essay is to demonstrate:

• Fair knowledge of the history and of the fundamental texts, films, theories, and techniques of (French) Surrealism.
• The ability to analyze literary texts/films with sensitivity to language/image, idea, and meaning.
• The ability to communicate original arguments about literature, film, or theory in writing that is coherent, well developed, and expressive of complex thoughts.

The more specific and original your essay, the higher the chance of an outstanding grade. Relevant quotes from assigned texts and the ability to find your own examples to demonstrate your understanding of surrealism will be rewarded. The brevity of the essays require you to be to the point and precise.

Please watch the kids movie “Inside out” to write this paper. You can find it online in many websites its totally free. These are my teachers instructions:

Reflection Paper #2: drawn from the movie, “Inside Out”

1. Riley’s parents ask her to be their “happy girl” when they notice their daughter struggling. Do you feel it was appropriate for them to ask her to do this?
2. Riley was able to easily access some of her emotions. Which ones were those? What other emotions might Riley be hiding under her easily engaged emotions?
3.Why is it hard for Riley to tell her parents what she is really feeling?
4. What does it mean to have “mixed emotions” about something?
5. How do all of our emotions relate to each other? Is it possible to have joy without sadness? Why is it important to feel the full range of emotions?
6. Explain how temperament, gender and culture might impede the expression of some of the more difficult emotions.

Be careful. Answer each of these questions, but you do not need to necessarily answer them in the same order as asked. Be creative and weave your answers into a coherent reflection essay that uses references from the movie and reflects the meaning framed by this set of questions. Please do not number the questions and answer them like an essay test. The goal is to write a 2-3 page reflection paper, and the only reference you may need is the movie. If you do research on your own concerning any of these emotions or the movie, be sure to cite your sources.

Media studies. Notes from the professor. 500-­‐word essay applying notes to the present. (Each student should apply terms and definitions from notes from the professor to current media. Students should evaluate observations from Notes about editing and news.)
You may choose to write a critique of the cinematography of a film, TV
episode or advertisement. This is not a requirement, but in the past
students have found it to be of value.

CINEMATOGRAPHY: SOME BASICS

(All definitions within arrows <> are testable.)

Cinematography=<the technical and mechanical aspect of film, and by
extension related visual media>.

Media=<the plural of medium=a means of communication>

Since most of us are so influenced by our visual sense, it is not
surprising that visual media have a profound influence on us. Most of us
are heavily influenced by movies, TV, and visual advertising of all sorts.

The assumption is that filmmakers are trying to communicate with audiences while advertisers are attempting to change behavior, perhaps even to manipulate their viewers.

From the beginning of movies and TV, educators and culture critics have
worried that visual media interfere with thought. Since our visual sense
is so strong and so appealing, since so many more of the synapses in our
brains fire when we watch television, for example, than when we read, the
theory is that there is less likelihood that we can think clearly when we
watch visual media than when we engage print media. The implications for
advertising, politics, etc. are pretty obvious.

Readers of novels are most often disappointed when those readers view
films adapted from novels. There are two basic reasons for this. 1-Time is
more restrictive in cinema. It is obviously more expensive and
labor-intensive to include material in a movie than in a novel, and movies
have the obvious restriction of running time. 2-Since print is so
abstract, so nonsensory, readers are freer to ideally and more personally
imagine the visual aspect than are viewers who have images presented to
them. Imaging=<the ability of a person to control his/her imagination>,
and print is obviously better at giving us such control.

Editing (<the decisions of what to include in a work and how to make that
inclusion>) is the most important consideration in television news, most
texts agree, but editing is also obviously important to other TV and to
other media. When watching television news programming, one should always
wonder what has been left out; so goes the conventional caveat
(caveat=<warning>).

Part of the basic cinematographic grammar is the montage, <a series of clips edited together to serve some purpose>. Cross cutting is <more than one storyline interspersed in a montage>.

Very crudely, if one is editing a comedy, the clips should be of short
duration, the focus soft, and the lighting bright. Conversely, drama or
tragedy should have longer clips, and should be shot in sharp focus with
low lighting and more shadow.

Color is an obvious concern in most cinematography. While music in film
exists primarily as an emotional cue, color also has an effect on emotion,
as filmmakers are aware. The Underworld series of films is shot in mostly
dark blue tones with the obvious emotional consequence, for example.

<The illusion of normal time flow>, continuity, is a subtle, basic and
tricky concern for filmmakers, etc. Most works are shot out of sequence
and must be edited later, so continuity is a nagging concern when visual
works are assembled.

The cinematography of CSI:Miami is pretty adventurous. Tracking shots
(<camera movement along a lateral plane>) through transparencies that
obscure focus are used. Occasionally even a jump cut (<a clip out of
continuity>) occurs. Horatio (an interesting name choice given the
character in Hamlet) walks across a room but his image fades and he seems
to have been transported six feet father than one would expect when it
reappears, for example. Assumedly such shots emphasize the importance of a
specific action and please the viewer with unexpected beauty in the
cinematography.

CG (previously CGI)=<computer generated images> has outstripped current technologies. If an image in motion can be imagined, it can be created,
apparently. CG is so ubiquitous in films that a movie like The Dark Knight
is remarkable because of its minimal use of CG, even for such action
scenes as an eighteen-wheeler front-flipping onto its back at speed.
