Metaphysics concerns inquiries into the nature of reality. Both Plato and Descartes develop metaphysical systems that are classified as dualisms. Likewise both are considered to be metaphysical realists, which means that there is a reality external to the influence of the human mind. Plato believes that reality is composed of a realm of becoming that is constantly changing and a realm of being that contains eternal, unchanging Forms that infuse the world of becoming. Human beings, according to Plato, are an amalgam of a material body that constantly changes and an immortal psyche. A little more than two thousand years later, Descartes will propose that all reality is composed of two substances---body and mind. The Matrix films consider both Platonic and Cartesian dualisms. What is the appeal of a dualistic metaphysics? Do you find it plausible? Why or why not? Are there particular implications that add credence to your position?

Consider eyewitness testimony, a facet of the judicial system that relies on the soundness of memory for its effectiveness. The following story demonstrates the grave consequences inherent in certain kinds of memory distortion.

In the days following Jennifer Thompson’s 1984 rape by an unknown assailant, law enforcement officials presented her with a “photographic lineup.” It was composed of local individuals who loosely fit Thompson’s description, including one man the police considered a likely suspect in the attack. Police and the prosecution relied on Thompson’s eyewitness testimony as a critical building block in the case against Ronald Cotton. Thompson’s memory-based selection of Cotton’s image eventually brought him to trial as a defendant.

Jennifer Thompson’s eyewitness testimony led to the conviction of Ronald Cotton for rape. Thompson described memorizing the details her attacker’s appearance that fateful night so that she might later help to catch him. Based on Thompson’s testimony, the prosecution won, and Cotton received a sentence of life plus 54 years in prison.

After serving nearly 11 years, Cotton was exonerated on the basis of DNA evidence. In the years since Cotton’s release from prison, he and Thompson have reconciled. They now travel together throughout the United States, speaking about the lack of reliability of eyewitness testimony in criminal cases. Unreliable eyewitness accounts of crimes serve as one example of memory distortion. Consider factors in the Cotton case that may have affected the accuracy of Thompson’s memory.

In this Discussion, you examine factors that might influence and create distortions of memory. You also explain potential consequences of memory distortion on eyewitness testimony.

With these thoughts in mind:

a brief description of factors that might influence and create distortions of memory. Then explain how one of those factors might create a memory distortion. Provide an example to support your response. Finally, explain three consequences of memory distortion in the context of eyewitness testimony. Justify your response using the Learning Resources and current literature.

How would you, as a job interviewer analyze a candidate`s potentials, capability, dedication, attention to details? I think these are factors that should be included during the interview and discussed with professional references. It is easy for someone to stretch the truth, so I think it would be difficult to rely on the self-evaluation of the interviewee. What other sources would you use to learn more about a job applicant?

Please choose ONE of the following FOUR questions and write an initial discussion post of at least 300 words, include links to all sources used and references as appropriate. Please give a substantive response of at least 100 words to at least three other students. One of your responses should be to the question that you did not address in your initial discussion post. 1. EXPLORE MUSIC AND DANCE The readings and videos introduced themes and issues related to exploring music and dance as phenomena of culture. There are a great many more to consider: children’s music and dance, music and dance for the elderly, music and dance among people with disabilities, or spirituals in African American history. Find a video related to one of these, embed it in your post, and examine one of these areas (or another related topic) in detail and make sure to use at least two concepts, terms etc. about music and dance you or your classmates posted in Discussion 3.1. 2. CREATE A RINGSHOUT If you decide to create a Ringshout and can make a video, share a file containing the video and discuss the experience of learning about the Ringshout and the process of creating it. 3. PARTICIPATE IN A DANCE Participate in a style of dance that is new to you. Your local community may offer free or low cost opportunities such as contra dancing or line dancing. If live musicians are present, what instruments are used? Do some research on this style of dance, discussing its cultural context, history and origins as well as your impressions based on your active participation as a dancer. Be sure to embed a video example of this kind of dance in your post. 4. EXPLORE SYMPHONY, CHORUS, OR OPERA Using an Internet search engine, locate the nearest symphony orchestra, chorus (chorale) or opera company to your home or office, or one that you would like to visit in the future. Share the URL (website location) and describe some of the works being performed this season. Are the works on the programs all by 18th and 19th century European male composers (Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, etc.) or did you find some diversity among the composers? Check for special programs for families with children or special ticket prices for students. Does the organization have a public outreach program such as the award-winning "Voices Within," an artist residency program designed by the Los Angeles Master Chorale that teaches fifth grade students how to tap their creative voices to compose and perform their own original songs? http://www.lamc.org/education/voices-within If you were to attend one of the performances you have discovered, what two tools from Discussion 3.1 that you or your classmates posted might you find useful to have in mind when viewing the performance?
