Discussion 6 Jazz

/in /by

Create a fake or false social media profile of a jazz musician from an era we have studied in class. Wes Montgomery or Clifford brown

This may be a pretend/fan account that you create ON a social media platform OR a graphic/visual representation of an account. There are sites online that will allow you to create a dummy account for school assignments that you may find helpful: (https://www.classtools.net/FB/home-page https://goo.gl/qQdNos http://simitator.com/generator/twitter/tweet)

For those of you who are graphically inclined, a visual representation may work best.

You should write in the “style” of the jazz musician, including helpful biographical data, and consider listing “friends” or “followers”. This is an opportunity for you to have a little fun and be creative!

Please upload screenshots of your account or visual to Blackboard in PDF or JPG format.

For your response – please choose one of your classmate’s social media accounts and respond…in the “voice” of your chosen jazz musician. This can be a simple reply on their post (no need to upload a pdf here). Be sure to sign with the name of your artist. One can imagine a conversation between Louis Armstrong and Ornette Coleman, or perhaps an invitation from Dizzy Gillespie to Charlie Parker.

write research paper and dissuasion like last time read the description in the below

/in /by

Complete a 2-page research paper on a specific mental illness. This paper should be in APA style, 12 point font, in Times New Roman, 1 inch margin, double spaced. The reference page should be the 3rd page. Your research should include a description of the mental illness, symptoms, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Also include personal experiences with the mental illness or a case study of a person coping with the mental illness.

each topic has to be 2 pages . one for me and one for my friend .1Social Phobia Disorder.2Panic Disorder

this is for the discussion Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder has the characteristics of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Approximately 11% of children 4-17 years of age (6.4 million) have been diagnosed with ADHD as of 2011. The percentage of children with an ADHD diagnosis continues to increase, from 7.8% in 2003 to 9.5% in 2007 and to 11.0% in 2011.

Do you believe that ADHD is a “real” disorder? Explain. What do you suppose is causing the continuing increase in the number of children diagnosed of ADHD? Explain.

Be sure to respond completely to each part of the discussion topic. Then, respond to at least 2 other student post. Your response to the discussion topic is worth 15 points and each response to another student’s post is worth 5 points.

1In my opinion I do believe it’s a “real” disorder though it’s not a severe disorder. The reason I say it’s a disorder because you act out of the norm. Once the doctor diagnose a person and he/she has to take medications to control it, then it is something that is an disorder. people with ADHD just have a different personalities and some could blend in perfectly with individuals without ADHD. If someone were to say that having ADHD is a disease, I would completely disagree.

I believe whats causing the rise in ADHD is the more exposure to electronics. The reason I say this is because when I look around at kids of this generation, they are more attached to their phone. The pleasure of having an electronic in their hand keeps them calm but without it, they cry, move around, and shout until they get what they want. Also i believe that the use ff drugs in the parents are affecting their offspring without notice.

2.According to me, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a real disorder with its own emotional, mental, behavioral, cognitive, and educational aspects, which are manifested to some degree among children with ADHD every day of the year. Children with ADHD show difficulties in maintaining attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. In the last five years, the rate of ADHD diagnosis has jumped by over 20% according to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and is increasing day by day. Inappropriate diagnosis has played a major role in this increase in ADHD cases. However, I believe that the main reason behind it is lack of enough outdoor exposure among kids. Children are now spending half as much time outside as they did in the 90s. Also 8-18 year-olds spend over 7 hours using entertainment media in a normal day. Only about 6% of children play on their own. These statistics are reliable in showing the main reason behind the numerous ADHD cases among children nowadays. There is a negative thing about technology that leads to hyperactivity behavior among children. For instance, if children use modern media such as mobile phones and IPads prior to going to bed, they are likely to experience delayed and shorter sleep durations, and also melatonin suppression. Although these reasons might not be applicable to every child out there with ADHD, they are definitely major contributing factors to the problem.

1.I do believe that ADHD is a real disorder but I think that many children are misdiagnosed with it, and that is why the number of people diagnosed keeps increasing. I have a friend who works in a pharmacy and they have said that the number of prescriptions they fill for ADHD medications is huge. I think the reason more and more children are being diagnosed is because they are spending more time inside in front of technology, and not going outside to run around and play and make themselves tired. When kids sit inside watching TV or using iPads all day they aren’t using any of their energy, and then they are crazy at home with their parents. When they act like this their parents assume something is wrong and then take them to the doctor where they get incorrectly diagnosed with ADHD. I don’t think this situation applies to all the children diagnosed, but I think that is part of the reason why there is such a high number of children diagnosed with ADHD now.

2.It is sad to hear that the increase number of children and teens in our country today are being diagnosed with ADHD. I do not believe in ADHD because the doctors are misdiagnosing the children. Just because a child is overactive and over stimulated than another child, dose not mean the overactive child should be diagnosed with ADHD. An overactive and stimulating child is not necessarily hyper. Some children are overactive because of the increase amount of neurotransmittersor in their brain norepinephrine compared to other children. I do not believe children with ADHD should be medicated; I believe as they get older their over activeness and over stimulation will decrease without the usage of medication.

Application: Interpreting Data Outputs

Qualitative data analysis (QDA) is the range of processes and procedures whereby raw data are converted into some form of explanation, understanding, or interpretation of the people and situations being investigated. QDA is usually based on an interpretative philosophy to give meaning to collected data. As with all data, analysis and interpretation are required to bring order and understanding to it. After all, a set of numbers or lists of observations are useless without an explanation of why they are important. This requires creativity, discipline, and a systematic approach—there is no single or best way. The best process for a given research situation will depend on the questions that need to be answered and the needs of those who will use the information.

For this Application Assignment, you interpret the outputs of qualitative analyses by examining which variables are significant and what you can conclude from the outputs. Use the qualitative results in the article, “Why Rape Survivors Participate in the Criminal Justice System” for this assignment.

The assignment (2–3 pages):

  • Explain your interpretation of the qualitative results in the article, “Why Rape Survivors Participate in the Criminal Justice System,” including which variables are most significant and the conclusions you can draw about the significant variables you identified.

Support your Application Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the Learning Resources for this course.

An Interview of Your Choice

/in /by

An Interview of Your Choice

In order to really learn about interviewing, you must practice doing interviews. There is no substitute for direct experience in learning about interviewing. This assignment will be the first of several interviews you conduct during this course.

Find a volunteer to role-play a client. The purpose of this assignment is to introduce you to the experience of formulating questions and gathering information during a clinical interview. You are not expected to have mastered these skills in week 1 nor even by the end of this course. Clinical interviewing is a skill that requires a lot of practice and years of training.

Here, you will simply interview the volunteer who is role-playing a client that is having trouble at work. Be sure to develop a plan for the interview ahead of time. What is the purpose of your interview?  How will you achieve that purpose?

Be sure to follow the ethical guidelines you have read about, including competence, confidentiality, and informed consent. The interview should be at least 10 minutes in length but no more than 20 minutes.

After you complete your interview, provide a thoughtful discussion of the following:

  • How did you prepare for the interview? Be sure to list the questions used in your interview and provide a brief summary of the content of your interview.
  • How long was the interview?  How much effort was required to keep the interview to the required 10-20 minute timeframe?
  • What things made the interview difficult or uncomfortable? Be as specific as possible.  For example, were there things you or your client said or did during the interview that were uncomfortable? 
  • What factors made the interview welcoming and comfortable?  Again be as specific as possible.
  • Did you think you were effective in probing and obtaining information?
  • As appropriate, cite the online content, the textbook, and other credible, scholarly sources to substantiate the points you are making.
  • Apply APA standards for writing and citations to your work.
