Vignette #1 - Sheila

Sheila is in the “Maintenance” state of change in this particular vignette. Why? (be specific) Sheila has already gone through the ‘departure’ of rehabilitation and moving towards maintenance, but is having trouble dealing with her particular cravings and urges (Reiman, lecture 8, 2015). Sheila is currently straying from her plan to change her behavior, and is beginning to consider entering the world of substance abuse out of necessity. Sheila admits that she has drug cravings still, but is unsure about what to do about them. This is a classic indicator of her maintenance status, as she is fully ...

Implications of Interpolated Testing for Online Education

Implications of Interpolated Testing for Online Education Technological advancements in the 20th century led to the development of novel innovations, which made a substantial difference in the way we live. Most of these inventions filled a gap in occupations and operations that are usually tedious, delivering the promise of ease and accessibility. Along with these advancements, learning has also become more within our reach due to the number of ways that education is delivered to the masses. Today, the traditional way of learning that is confined within the classroom is no longer our only option. By just a few clicks of a ...

1. “Removing Choice of Food Options (e.g. Healthy Eating Guidelines in School Canteens) will reduce Obesity” Obesity is one of the disorders that we can consider controversial because we can view it as an issue of medicalization or otherwise (Lecture Notes/Week 9 2012). Nevertheless, obesity is one of the most common examples of medicalised deviance. In the lectures, medicalization was defined as a process wherein non-medical problems become medical problems. Obesity is not actually considered to be harmful in the past (about 1-3 decades ago). This can be due to the fact that medical organizations during the past ...

Immigrants contributed for the 37% growth of the United States of America population after the civil war (Bell, Kwesiga, & Berry 179). Millions over the last two centuries have migrated to the United States. This contributed to the technological and economic advancement of the region. The 19th century was however the most remarkable time of expanded immigration. The California gold rush saw numerous ethnicities abandon their villages in various regions of the world and entered America. In addition, after the civil war, slave trade was abolished therefore employment opportunities were very high (Lecture 7). While others came due the ...

Despite the many gains that African-Americans and other minorities have achieved in the last fifty years as a result of the Civil Rights Movement, there are still a vast number of issues that remain incredible struggles for blacks seeking equal treatment in the United States. One of those is the issue of education; despite initiatives such as affirmative action, minority scholarships and college prep programs, there are still systemic inequalities that take place within the US educational system. Investigating the concepts and ideas behind these issues and the efforts to change them (e.g. order theory), it is clear that many steps ...

1. What Sociological Theories have been presented during the lectures to describe these population groups and associated policies? Examples One of the most influential sociological theories which were discussed in the past weeks is the theory of mainstreaming. Personally, I thought that the rich and can-afford people will be the only ones who could be able to experience the appropriate type and amount of healthcare, especially during times of acute and chronic medical cases. What’s ironic is that those who cannot afford health care are the ones who are more vulnerable to even the simplest health threats ...

Comparing Two Lectures

The two lectures that I have chosen to compare are Patrick Fensham’s lecture on Who Designs the Cities? and Ingo Kumic’s lecture on Urban Design and Making the City. Both lectures address the expansion of cities and the design processes which take place behind these improvements. Kumic addresses the question of ‘production vs. promotion’ and ‘form vs. function’ which addresses two cities – New York and Dubai, with regard to these questions. Fensham, however, focuses his lecture entirely on Sydney in Australia with a focus, seemingly, entirely on the production and functionality of the city’s expansion.

Communication & diversity

1. Choose one social identity group: race, gender, sexuality or ability. Explain how that group has been socially constructed throughout history and how the social construction has led to marginalization. Gender differences have been an important part of society formation as well as division of labor from ancient times. The social class system has had a great impact on societies and their formation. Philosophers and thinkers have tried to analyze various elements of these classes and inequality system in the society and this has led to the marginalization of women as the fairer and weaker sex. Gender discrimination has ...

Introduction

Chapter 1 of Bombshell: Women and Terrorism by Mia Bloom, entitled “A Brief History of Terror and the Logic of Oppression,” served as an introduction to terrorism as a phenomena per se and the participation of women as terrorists (9-34). Apart from explaining the evolution of terrorism through its four waves – anarchist, anti-colonial, New Left and religious, Chapter 1 provided concise yet informative information on the engagement of women in terrorist activities (9-34). As argued by Bloom (9-34), it has been highly unusual for women to get themselves involved in terrorism, given that they have a traditional profile characterized by peace, ...

Relationships are hard. The divorce rate skyrockets yearly, alternative lifestyles such as gay marriage and polygamy/polygyny are under attack and more and more women are becoming single mothers. The work that goes into developing a long term, meaningful relationship necessitates that the relationship begins on a foundation of honest communication, and acceptance. Without these two selfless traits along with a willingness to struggle in the name of achieving a mutual goal, a relationship cannot work. Because we live in a society that does not value abstinence, the likelihood of contracting some type of STD/STI while engaging in unprotected sex is very high. “By the time ...

Every moment brings a new experience in ones life. Such experiences either make one feel devalued or more valued. I fondly remember an instance when I was in class together with my fellow classmates waiting for the lecturer to arrive and continue with the day’s lecture. It was a mathematics lecture. Like any other lecture, everybody was busy trying to find a solution to a quiz that we had been assigned during the previous lecture. Never before had anyone seemed so keen to find a solution to a take-away quiz and especially a difficult like that one. The reason behind our commitment to find the ...

Introduction

Language is not static. Many factors contribute to it instead being dynamic – continually changing, developing and evolving over space and time. Part of that evolutionary process concerns the morphology of the language – the way words are formed and the rules that govern their formation; an important element in pedagogy, facilitating the teaching / learning of the language in part by understanding those rules and utilizing them as elements of the instructional framework. This paper examines how the English language including its word structure and vocabulary has evolved / morphed over time, and discusses how the morphology of the English ...

1.0 Oscar Wilde: Art and the Handicraftsman This particular lecture focused on the relationship that brings together art and the craftsman. The presentation outlined that pulling one from the other affects both. If one is kept away from the other, negative effects of that action ruins the two. Art is all about expressing things in a personal view. Such expressions are based on diverse feelings of the handicraftsman. The resultant expressions of such works constitute the art. Attitude, motives and expectations are just but a few ways that determine the forthcoming artistic works. Art is all about getting imaginative according ...

Executive Summary

Several students make their way to lecture rooms every day to attend their lectures. These students are required to attend a given number of lectures for them to be considered for graduation. The students sign paper attendance sheets to confirm their attendance. The university staff has to compile the manual records for every student. This process is tedious and inefficient, and students can sign for one another hence not providing an accurate record on attendance. Introduction of the Fingerprint Time and Attendance recorder is an innovative way to keep accurate records on lecture attendance (Muhtahir, p.20).

James also provides difference between science and religion in this lecture. This paper basically aims at identifying the ...

Meditations & Bad Dreams

Introduction Descartes and Christopher Grau found similar difficulties in putting full faith in perceived realities. Descartes set these down in his series of Meditations. Grau used them as the foundation of the film The Matrix. Both men sought the answer to the same question. They wanted to find a method by which individuals could be sure that the reality perceived did reflect the real world. Descartes decided to fix his thinking by rejecting everything knew and rebuilding on an honest foundation. In reach the truth, he needed a way to rule out every other possibility. Like Descartes trying to ...

1. The issue of immigration is a multi-faceted, controversial one. It encompasses issues such as cultural assimilation, human rights and dignity, law and justice, employment, as well as educational opportunities for host countries and migrant countries. For example, some people, like Jonathan Laurence, demand a secular absorption of Muslims -- an unconditional acceptance of their cultural norms by their host countries, and more tolerance for the rapidly-growing Muslim population in European countries. Laurence is an associate professor of political science at Boston College. Kofi Annan, United Nations' Secretary General on International Flows of Humanity, states that we need a more-balanced, conservative approach ...

1) Summarize the major categories discussed in the review of the literature There are three sections in this study, the first section discussing mobile usage in class for texting, browsing and accessing the social media. Furthermore, texting is one of the most recent ways through which an individual can send information.

For instance, while texting, the student’s attention is often divided, leaving him or her with very little concentration spans which eventually disrupts the ...

The Gilded Age was the period between the 1870s and the 1890s in the history of the United States of America. The term was coined by the famous Mark Twain meaning that the country was glittering on the surface but suffering from corruption from the inside. In simple terms, this was a period in which the country was facing corruption and various social evils in the high levels of governance. “These social behaviors include vulgar behavior, scandalous-plagued politics, shady business practices, corporate buccaneers and unscrupulous speculators” (Oakes, James, McGerr, Lewis, Cullather, Boydston, Summers, and Townsend, 167).

War remains one of the challenges facing the world today. Eruption of war is not a new phenomenon because it has existed for many years and continues affecting regional integration, economic, political, and social development, worldwide.

In certain situations, leaders from conflicting communities employed conflict management strategies such as peace-talks and dialogue so that to restore peace in the region. This move fuelled enmity and conflict among the communities thus culminating to tribal ...

My interests in this examination are the personal beliefs and approaches to wellbeing, including the examination of how such personal beliefs and approaches constitute ‘living the good life’.

Joy’s lecture raises various ethical dilemmas in its delivery. The talk is interesting and well executed; furthermore, it appears to be well-received by the live audience. However, the more important moral issues result from his suggestions, rather than from his views on the world.

Essentially, he is tackling ethical dilemmas such as how to control and shape a future which is predicted to be bleak. Perhaps it is unsurprising that Joy supports the growth ...

It is also the story, though, of Norman Dale, who coached Hickory to its title.

Every group formed has different aspects to it (Merriam-Webster, 2012)and thus different groups exist for different reasons. But it is obvious and common knowledge that every group that exists, does so for a purpose which is the reason for the unity of the stated group. A group cannot be formed without a common purpose as randomly selected people have no reason to unite with others, unless it is for a common cause. Group theory studies the various groups that exist. Groups are usually a group of people or things that are together for a common purpose and reason and thus are together for a ...
