Research a Professional Association

In terms of networking and professional development (e.g., continuing education), one of the most effective ways to stay connected in our field is through membership in a professional association. For this assignment, research and find one professional association in the field of public health. For example, ACHE. You can look into your own interest that you are considering, such as QI, Finance, HR, etc. Plus many more. If you don’t have an area of interest picked out yet, research one that seems interesting to you.

Once you find the professional association, research the following and submit the document in the Canvas assignment link. Remember APA formatting. This should be in essay type formatting,  NOT bulleted points or one sentence responses. Copy and paste = plagiarism.

1. Name of Professional Association (include a link to the website) 2 points
2. Mission of Professional Association 3 points
3. Benefits to membership (resources, tools, continuing education, conferences, etc.) 5 points
4. What initiatives is this professional association involved in to help strengthen the greater community? 5 points

Douglass’ Narrative

Assignment Topic: Write a well-argued essay about Douglass’ Narrative. Your essay should include an original thesis, effective supporting claims, and strong evidence—evidence that is analyzed and discussed in innovative ways. You are not required to do research for this assignment. However, if you use sources, please use scholarly sources. Do not rely on general research found online. Please speak with me if you need help identifying a scholarly source or if you have any questions about citations.

Write your essay about one of the following topics:

  1. Resistance Literature. How is the Narrative resistance literature? How does it seek to represent and destabilize the system of enslavement?
  1. Family: The Narrative is quite focused on the ways that enslavement affects families. How does the book leverage ideas of the family to represent the damage of enslavement (consider discussing the figure of the mother, for example)?
  1. Autobiography. Douglass’ Narrative is an autobiography, and so the authorial “I” isparticularly important. But how is the authorial “I” a problem for a formerly enslaved Black man writing about his life and slavery? How does Douglass manage or address the complicated nature of Black authorship under white oppression (and with a mostly white reading public)?
  1. Open Question: Choose your own topic. However, if you choose your own topic, you must email me about it first.

Article Critique

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2019, a new strain of the coronavirus disease was discovered. Also known as COVID-19, this strain of the virus had previously not been identified in humans. A worldwide pandemic ensued as the virus quickly spread across the globe, impacting countless lives, including many individuals in the United States.

In an effort to contain the virus, numerous countries’ leaders encouraged social distancing, which is an infection control

strategy aimed to help lessen the spread of a contagious disease. This directive was given by leaders in the United States

as well. Two schools of thought emerged. In fact, many people were skeptical about the authenticity of this pandemic due to perplexing and often conflicting messages that were received across social media and news outlets. Therefore, numerous Americans assumed business as usual and maintained their daily living and social rituals. On the other hand, scores of others quickly retreated to their homes, embracing the warning provided by some of the nation’s top infectious disease experts.

This assignment provides you with an opportunity to analyze a real-world, peer-reviewed psychology journal article that

contains research which examines motivation, emotion, and social psychology.

Begin by visiting the Waldorf Online Library to locate and choose a journal article in which motivation and emotion are

viewed under the lens of social psychology. The article must be peer-reviewed and should be no older than 7 years.

Start your search is the PsycARTICLES database or the Academic Search Ultimate database. You can access these databases from the Databases box on the library homepage.

For assistance in locating your article, you may find the following Finding an Article (online tutorial) helpful.

Once you have chosen your article, you will write an article critique that addresses the following elements. Explain the research methodology that was used in the study.

Discuss social factors that influence people or groups to conform to the actions of others.

Indicate how behaviors and motivation are impacted by the presence of others. (How does this apply to COVID-19?)

Indicate the structures of the brain that are involved in emotion and motivation. (How could a person’s emotions related to fear drive their behaviors during this pandemic?)

PSY 1010, General Psychology 3

Examine the article’s generalizability to various areas of psychology. Why would some people choose to follow the orders to avoid social contact and others allow desire for human interaction to be their driving force?

In addition, your article critique should clearly identify the article’s premise and present an insightful and thorough analysis with strong arguments and evidence. You should present your own informed and substantiated opinion on the article’s content. You should use the textbook as your second source to support your analysis and to supplement any information that is not contained in the journal article.

Your article critique must be a minimum of three pages in length, not including the title and reference pages. All sources used must be properly cited. Your article critique, including all referencechos, must be formatted in APA style

Compassion around Abortion – Quasi Experimental Research Proposal

Find a gap in the research study and design a quasi experimental research proposal around compassion towards abortion, it needs to be clear and concise with the layout and method.

Task:

Write a research proposal for an original experimental or quasi-experimental study dealing with some aspect of a set social psychology topic.

There are 4 research articles(presented in the Week 2 practical activity) that present 4 topics. These articles are based on your responses to the Week 1 module activity asking about the questions social psychology will seek to answer in the future.

Your task is to “find a gap” in relation to one of these articles and write a proposal for research based on that gap (i.e., research question).

Your proposal must be quantitative and experimental/quasi-experimental (i.e., you must have one independent variable (IV) that is manipulated and a dependent variable (DV) that is measured).

Like an authentic research proposal, your proposal should be describing a novel study that addresses a gap you have identified in the literature. You should base your proposal on one of the gaps you identify in the Week 2 practical activity.

Reflecting on the 4 articles we examine in this activity, you might choose to look at something no one has looked at before, OR, you may choose to examine an age-old question within a new context or accounting for variables that have yet to be considered.

Welfare Case Analysis Al

Read the Case Analysis Structure Overview.

Find a current event that deals with welfare and discuss . Be sure to bring one of this week’s readings to bear on the discussion.

In this case analysis you have five tasks:

  1. Give a clear and concise explanation of the case at hand.
  2. Give a thorough, philosophical exegesis of the relevant aspects of Walzer’s and Murray’s arguments. (Click here for some tips on how to do a successful exegesis.)
  3. Present an argument applying the relevant philosophers to the case at hand. This should include an argument justifying who each philosopher would give the welfare to and why.
  4. Present an argument explaining why one of the philosophers can be viewed as offering a more successful solution to the case at hand.
  5. In no more than one paragraph, explain what solution you would propose for Rebecca and Jimmy.

Case

Consider Rebecca, a single mother of 4 who has been a long-term welfare recipient. Rebecca is a weekend meth user who often spends her money on meth. However, without her welfare money, her children would not have any food or medical treatment and would most likely be placed in foster homes where their lives could go worse than they currently are. Rebecca’s yearly welfare application is due.

Now consider Jimmy, a veteran of both Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom. During the battle, Jimmy was wounded and now suffers from some moderate physical disability and post-traumatic stress. Sadly, although Jimmy tried to find a job, there weren’t many systems in place to help him re-integrate or work through his issues. Each day Jimmy begs for money at his local off-ramp. Through no fault of his own, Jimmy has fallen through the proverbial cracks. Jimmy applies for welfare.

Options

You are the welfare overseer. At most one person can get welfare. You can make ONE of the following three decisions:

  1. Give the welfare only to Rebecca
  2. Give the welfare only Jimmy
  3. Don’t give any welfare
