As Professor Semitsu discusses in his article, "From Facebook to Mug Shot," not even George Orwell would have predicted that "an omniscient Big Brother" would result from government inactivity as opposed to a totalitarian takeover. There has been much criticism regarding post-9/11 changes in law allowing the government to access certain electronic files without a warrant or even probable cause. However, the U.S. population has ultimately surrendered its right to privacy to corporations. If government ever tried to persuade the average citizen to permanently document his or her every action and thought, there would be mass resistance and outrage. But when a teenage Harvard-drop out created a website for just that, hundreds of millions of people began voluntarily documenting their life (and crimes) with amazing precision. The Fourth Amendment provided U.S. citizens with over 200 years of protections to their persons, papers and effects. But today, in 2011, the Fourth Amendment does not cover anything having to do with the government's seizure of Facebook activity, email older than six (6) months, or much of our web activity. Technology allows us to neatly document our day-to-day activities, while the law allows the government to seize these writings and use them to deprive people of life and liberty without the due process granted to other papers and effects.
Argue for or against Professor Semitsu's proposition that the
system is broke and needs fixing.
Should U.S. citizens enjoy the same constitutional protections to
their social networking communications and emails as they do to
their personal diaries and hand-written correspondence? Or, should
the government have ready access to public or semi-public social
networking commentary for the purposes of legitimate law
enforcement investigations without a warrant? If the police ask the
Facebook legal department, without a warrant, for social media
records, is that similar to a detective going into a bar and
interviewing people; or, is it closer to the seizure of letters or
documents?

I'm putting together results from people and the behaviors they picked. For this one could you write about procrastination or spending more time studying? Using Learning Techniques to Change Behavior
Directions:
Step 1: Pick a behavior that you would like to change. For example maybe you want to spend more time studying, stop biting your nails, or keep your room neater.
Step 2: Operationally define the behavior: Operational definition is a very specific definition and explains how you will measure the behavior. For example, if your behavior is “more time studying” you might operationally define that as reading, writing, and/or taking notes for at least 2 hours 5 days a week.
Step 3: Then use the three types of learning to develop a program to change your behavior. Write at least 1 paragraph (minimum of 100 words) for each type and use at least 3 terms in each paragraph.

Yes there is a link between depression and difficulty with memory recall. This area of cognition is interesting in that you literally see changes in someone's thought patterns when they are under new stress patterns. When this happens, as in the case of depression, parts of the brain associated with memory are impacted. What parts are these? How has deep brain stimulation helped in some cases?

>> Like again, I told you my name is Tynesha. I got a lot of stuff to say about me, but you know, I don't know if you're going to be really interested or not. But I know I need to come here. I need something. I got two kids. My dude is at home. He's back again. He left. He comes back. He's in and out. He won't work. And I just want him there for the kids. I don't, I don't know how he sit around all day playing video games and not really helping me. I'm in nursing school. I'm trying to get my degree. My grades ain't what they supposed to be. They could be better, but they ain't because of him. He's always fussing. I can't even get my homework done. I can't get nothing done. And then everybody on me, you know, I got to work. I got to have all the money for the house. I got to take care of the kids. I got to leave work to take them to their appointments. And how much of that are they going to take before they fire me? I don't know. My friends, they help me. But they tired. They're getting tired of helping me because they say what's the point? Why is he there? He's there, and he ain't doing nothing. And you just keep taking him back, but then you ask us for our help. And I don't blame them. I know why they mad. Because they know I could do better. I'm going to nursing school. I was getting good grades. I was on the Dean's list every semester. And now here I am almost flunking. That ain't me. That ain't me. I can't keep doing this. I want my kids to have stuff. I want them to see better. I don't want them to grow up like I did in the projects or in these community apartments and watching people get shot or selling drugs. I want stuff for my family. That ain't what I want. I got to do something though because the kids, they're starting to act out at school. The teacher's calling me. They fighting with other kids. And I know what it is. You know, I know what it is. But I don't want all them people in my business. You know, but pretty soon I told him they going to be calling CSB that child protective thing or something, and then I'm going to be in trouble. Now what if they take my kids? I can't keep doing this. I can't.
>> After seeing Tynesha and haring her story, prepare a response to her using three specific listening skills. These are psycho-education or information giving, self-disclosure, and immediacy.
Questions:
1. Think about what you know about Tynesha's family, including her children and her partner. What additional information might be helpful?
2. What are some of the challenges involved in gathering information about family relationships when you are only speaking to one individual?
3. How could you adapt the genogram to working with a single client? What would be missing? Think beyond the simple lack of others' views and consider the dynamics.
4. At what point might you want to consider involving Tynesha's partner in counseling?
