Introduction to Case Study

Erica (age 30 years) has contacted a local community centre. Erica says she lives with her partner James (Jim) and two children Jemima (13) and Isaac (4). Jim works full time in the building industry and the family relocated from interstate 8 months ago so he could take up a better paid job on the recommendation of a friend who was already living here. All of their extended family are back in their home town.

A couple of months ago, Jim was charged by the police for driving under the influence of alcohol and now his driver's licence has been suspended for 12 months following a court appearance. Erica said she has found out Jim has been having problems at work. They can't afford for him to lose his job and he has been spending a lot of the family budget going out and drinking with friends on the weekends. Erica has a background working in retail and administration, but hasn't been working for some time as she wanted to settle the kids in after the move and now Jemima has just changed schools again and Isaac has started pre-school.

She has noticed Jim is often frustrated with the kids and things are tense at home. Erica said she didn't really want to tell anyone about their problems, but she spoke to her neighbour about what has been happening when they noticed she looked down and said they had heard her arguing again with Jim last night. They gave her the name of the Centre and said they had used this service when they needed help and found it useful.

You have now seen Erica on 3 occasions. She tells you her cultural background is Aboriginal. She begins to open up about the problems in her relationship with Jim, and her worries about the impact of this on her children. Erica explains that Jemima is from a previous relationship and that her previous partner was very violent towards her so she left him when Jemima was around 3 years of age and they have not had contact with him at all in the past six years. Erica is worried because she can see signs that Jim is becoming increasingly angry and frustrated with her.

Erica describes Jemima as a sensitive child. Erica also tells you that Jim is very harsh on Jemima, yelling at her often, sending her to her room and seems to favour Isaac. Erica has spoken to Jim about this but he always responds by telling her she is ‘crazy’ and that Jemima needs to ‘grow up’. Erica tells you that Jemima has recently become very withdrawn.

2. What is the study’s hypothesis?

3. What were the study populations? What was the researchers’ rationale for using these populations? What bias is avoided by using these populations?

4. What were the study’s predictions? (make sure to include all the predictions)

5. What methods were used to test the predictions in each population?

6. What was the mean (mathematical average) rejection rate among the Hadza for the three contaminants compared to the control? What was the mean rejection rate among the Tannese across the four contaminants, compared to the controls?

7. Among the Hadza, what was the most common reason given for not eating each of the following (include percentage):

honey contaminated by coughing?

honey contaminated by poison?

broth contaminated by poison?

honey contaminated by bead?

broth contaminated by bead?

8. Although mean rejection rates were higher for contaminants than for control items, mean rejection rates for the latter were still fairly high.

Seeking Assistance

/in /by

This discussion forum explores the value of recognizing when you, as an instructor, need assistance while working in an online learning environment and how to go about getting assistance. Respond to the following and, if applicable, include your own personal experience:
Begin by considering this week’s material regarding reaching out to get the help you need when teaching in the online classroom.

Construct an initial post that describes three areas in which you, as an instructor feel you might need the help of others in an online classroom and why. Give concrete examples of both your specific need, as well as the source and description of a solution. Examples might include assistance with your course Learning Management System (LMS), support for converting face to face activities to the online environment such as group work or peer evaluation, or you may wish to find support for student writing skills and plagiarism, or Communities of Practice (CoP) dedicated to online learning education.

Next, locate resources on the Web, on your campus, from technical support hotlines, or elsewhere that you could d tap into to find the help you might need. Share those resources with your classmates in your post.

Philosophy assignment

/in /by

This week’s reading assignment completes our discussion of ethics by going back to the second half of chapter six and taking a look at Aristotle’s approach to ethics.    As you are reading this material, note that Aristotle’s approach to ethics differs in an important way from that of the Utilitarians and Kant.    For the latter, the primary question is what should my conduct be?    That is, should I do action A or action B?    The Utilitarian answers this question by evaluating the likely consequences of my action and picking the one that will lead to the best results (i.e., will “maximize utility”). The Kantian answers the question by attending to our moral duty, as identified with his categorical imperative.  

For Aristotle, however, the primary question is, not what should my conduct be, but what kind of person should I be, what sort of character should I develop?    Then my actions will following naturally from my character.    You might want in this week’s Discussion Forum to think about which approach is preferable.   Also, what do you think of Aristotle’s notion of happiness, or “eudaimonia” as it is called in Greek?    Does his conception of virtue sound familiar and reasonable?    Someone once called Aristotle the “common sense philosopher.”   Do you agree?

Questions

1. In a letter to Elizabeth, Leibniz criticized Descartes’s ontological argument. (That letter is available at http://library.nlx.com/xtf/view?docId=rationalists/rationalists.05.xml;chunk.id=div.leibniz.pes.1035;toc.depth=1;toc.id=div.leibniz.pes.36;brand=default (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..) In your paper, explain and critically discuss those criticisms.

2. In his Objections to the Meditations, Hobbes criticized Descartes’s Third Meditation argument for the existence of God. (Hobbes’s Objections and Descartes’s Replies are available at http://library.nlx.com/xtf/view?docId=rationalists/rationalists.02.xml;chunk.id=div.descartes.v2.20;toc.depth=1;toc.id=div.descartes.v2.14;brand=default (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..) In your paper, explain and critically discuss those criticisms.

Further notes

It is certainly possible to answer these questions just by reading and thinking about the primary texts. However, if you want to go beyond that, a good place to start is the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

To find further relevant items, you might try PhilPapers (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. or the Philosopher’s Index (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (will require you to be on the campus network).

If you’re looking for other texts, a good source is the Past Masters database (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (will require you to be on the campus network). Within Past Masters, the Continental Rationalists collection has good translations of the works of Descartes.

Finally, if the language of the texts is puzzling, you might try looking at the versions athttp://www.earlymoderntexts.com (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., which presents “versions of some classics of early modern philosophy … prepared with a view to making them easier to read while leaving intact the main arguments, doctrines, and lines of thought”.
