As you approach Spring Break, look back to the first day at your Practicum site. Identify some of your growth. What are your main challenges?

Journal Reflecting

Instruction

Students are required to write on average one-half to one full page of written reflection (single spaced) to be turned in every week. Journals should focus on personal/professional impact of practicum experience. There are 8 journals for each week and each journal is worth 10 points.

Journal 6 Question: As you approach Spring Break, look back to the first day at your Practicum site. Identify some of your growth. What are your main challenges?

What is your news article? How has public opinion been affected by the media coverage of your article.

Media coverage

Using news resources, your own views, and those concepts concerning the media as outlined by the text and lectures, answer the following:

What is your news article? (article must be within the last 4 months).

How has public opinion been affected by the media coverage of your article. (show relevant examples).

What terms from your textbook are being demonstrated in your article/discussion. Examples, agenda setting, framing, priming, yellow journalism. There are numerous examples you may draw from in the chapter. List at least 2 and connect them to the article and define them.

What is your opinion of this article, after your research?

Identify at least one regulation or law that the country put in place to reduce or control emissions and/or air pollution. What solutions or new regulations would you implement in order to reduce fossil fuel usage in the country you chose?

Worldwide energy consumption

varies dramatically, but the impacts are shared by all. The most commonly used fuel sources for energy around the world are the fossil fuels: coal, oil, and natural gas. Combustion of fossil fuels releases pollutants into the atmosphere, where the emissions from all countries combine to cause local, regional, and global issues. One of the primary pollutants of concern is carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide emissions are responsible for climate change, and governments around the world have taken steps to control carbon dioxide levels, but not all countries have been successful in reducing carbon emissions.

While all countries produce pollution, and emit greenhouse gases, the emission releases are very unequal across the globe. Consider what kinds of factors would determine how much energy is used by a country, a region, a household, or an individual. What factors would influence the fuel choices made by these people and institutions?

For this assignment you will conduct research to determine the common fuel sources, sources of emissions, and applicable regulations of a country of your choice. The PG Library has created a library resource with references for you to use to start this assignment. You are also welcome to utilize the Reading assignments in your textbook and other credible sources that you find. The PG Library is also available to search other scientifically-based sources to support your assignment. Keep in mind that Wikipedia is not considered a reliable resource.

  1. Define and provide examples of each:
    1. Fossil fuels, non-renewable energy, and renewable energy.
  2. Identify a country that uses fossil fuels as its primary source of energy.
    1. Discuss why the country continues to rely on fossil fuels.
    2. Provide examples of manufactured products or agriculture that are dependent upon fossil fuel use in that country. Consider the level of industrialization in the country and discuss.
  3. Discuss impacts of the continued use of fossil fuels:
    1. Include both local and global impacts.
    2. Discuss both long- and short-term impacts on:
      1. The environment, human health, and economy. Be specific and detailed in your discussion.
  4. Identify at least one regulation or law that the country put in place to reduce or control emissions and/or air pollution.
    1. What factors were the regulation or law designed to address.
    2. How effective has this regulation or law been?
    3. Have emissions or pollution levels decreased?
  1. What solutions or new regulations would you implement in order to reduce fossil fuel usage in the country you chose? You can look to other countries around the world or the United Nations for examples of energy and emissions regulations.
  2. Global efforts are being made to reduce fossil fuel usage and pollution. Countries must work together to solve these problems. Review the following references for more information about how countries and individuals can work to combat climate change and bridge cultural differences and answer the following questions.
    • Imperial College London. (2020). Countries must work together on CO2 removal to avoid dangerous climate change. ScienceDaily. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/06/200608114710.htm
    • TED. (n.d.). Bridging cultural differences. https://www.ted.com/playlists/411/bridging_cultural_differences
    • United Nations. (n.d.). Climate action. Sustainable development goals. https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/climate-change/
      1. Imagine that the country you selected has chosen to work with another country to implement the solution/regulation you recommended in #5 above. What country would they work with on this project and why did you choose that country to partner with?
      2. Analyze possible cultural differences and diversity concepts that would emerge if you recommended your changes stated above to another country? For example, what language barriers or religious and social differences would you encounter? What other cultural differences might need to be addressed as these two countries work together?
      3. Describe how countries can bridge cultural differences through strategic partnerships (e.g., a strategic partnership between countries is an Embassy). Include at least two ways that the cultural differences you identified can be addressed.

Define gray matter and white matter. State the locations and functions of the primary motor and somatosensory cortexes. Relate the mapping of the number of sensory receptors to the somatosensory cortex.

The Brain – the Homunculus

Purpose: The brain has a specific organization that is basically similar in all individuals. By knowledge of the location of specific areas in the cerebral cortex and nuclei in the brain one can predict the locations of diseases such as strokes, lesions, and so forth. We will compare the mapping of the motor cortex and the sensory cortex in this assignment.

Objectives: By the end of this assignment you should be able to:
Define gray matter and white matter.
State the locations and functions of the primary motor and somatosensory cortex’s.
Relate the mapping of the number of sensory receptors to the somatosensory cortex.
Relate the mapping of the number of motor neurons and motor units to the primary motor cortex.
