Paper discusses psychological issues from both papers intelligently and methodically

For the third time in the past 5 minutes, Jeremy’s fourth-grade teacher has had to tell him to sit in his seat and keep his hands to himself. It is as if Jeremy’s feet are attached to springs. He doesn’t walk; he bounces. He doesn’t sit; he squirms. It’s not just the motor activity that sets him apart from the rest of the class: Jeremy also has a motor mouth. He talks incessantly. He can’t resist sharing his ideas with the class, whether they are welcomed or not. As soon as he thinks about them, regardless of whether the time is right, Jeremy blurts out answers, disrupts the classroom, and adds considerable stress to his teacher’s already stressful job.

   Jeremy is almost the polar opposite of his classmate Leonard. For Leonard, Jeremy’s antics just fade into the background of other classroom stuff. Unlike Jeremy, Leonard is very quiet and rarely participates in classroom discussions, unless the discussions are about something that really interests him. Leonard spends most of his time staring out the window or off into space. The word daydreamer seems to fit Leonard perfectly.

   Leonard always seems to be at least one step behind everyone else. Leonard is rarely on task; he drifts off in the middle of assignments; often he has to be reminded to return toe arth. Leonard is doing poorly academically. He just doesn’t seem to tune in to whatever channel the rest of the class is on. Initially, the teacher thought that Leonard was a slow learner, until the class began to discuss different computer programs. The teacher was shocked at Leonard’s sophisticated knowledge base and expertise in the area. That was when his teacher began to think that there was something else getting in the way of Leonard’s academic success.

   In this case study, Jeremy and Leonard share more than the same classroom and same teacher. As incredible as it might seem, they both probably share variations of the same disorder: attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). How can two children who seem so different fall into the same diagnostic category?This is a question that has plagued theorists for the past 100 years. Although ADHD is among one of the most prevalent disorders in childhood, it continues to challenge professionals. It has been a topic for considerable discussion and controversy, especially regarding the over prescription of stimulant medications (Diller,1996).

In a 100 words or more:

Provide a discussion of the co-occurring clusters for childhood and adolescence symptoms and features.

Describe the basic ideas included in Kohlberg's theory of moral development (see video lecture and Barkan, p. 114). How is moral development related to crime and deviance according to Kohlberg? Compare and contrast Moral Development theory with one other psychological explanation for crime

how is the 19th century industrialization related to the development of sociology thought

How can community based risk reduction issues be addressed within the community and surrounding communities?

Chapter 14: Language

What is the relationship between language and communication? Does a lack of advanced language in imply a lack of communication? How does your own language impact communication?

What qualifies as a language? What areas of the brain helps us communicate vs develop a language?

Also share unique words you utilize with your friends and family. How would the rest of us understand the meaning? Are those words part of a difference language?

Although the issue of death is still not comfortably thought about and discussed by most individuals, our lives are affected dramatically by the death of family members, close friends, and co-workers.  

Members in my classes have lost persons close to them during the class experience. There have also been those who were grieving the impending death of a terminally ill family member or close friend and even themselves. There are those who grieved a death by suicide or homicide.

Talking about death to someone with a terminal illness is very difficult: yet, it can be therapeutic and meaningful to the dying person to share life experiences and the fear or readiness for death. Such disclosures can be comforting for the ill person and, for the survivor, it can provide meaningful reminiscence as well as serve as a reminder to prepare for their own ultimate transition.

Cultural conceptions of death and dying vary; so, it is of interest for us to learn more about the meaning of life and death and customs and beliefs associated with D&D from your cultural perspectives. Your task, therefore, is to write a brief essay incorporating the following aspects:  

Present your personal cultural conception of dying and death. Be certain to give ethnic background, any diversity issue that would help us become more knowledgeable about different perspectives and practices.

Describe family customs to comfort/care for those with impending death.

What insight does your spiritual system give regarding death. Is there a belief in afterlife?

Complete this requirement by conducting some research using the Internet. Identify three diversity or equity issues that you think are the most challenging or important for you you personally, a group of individuals, the workplace, or for society in general. Write two paragraphs about each issue. Describe each issue and its relevance. What is it about the issue that makes it, in your view, diversity-related? Why do you consider it one of your Top Three diversity-related issue? Who do you think the issue affects? Have you or someone you know been personally or professionally affected by the issue? What actions do you think are necessary to remedy this issue? For each issue, provide links to, or citations for, the sources you used to gather information.

Scholarship

• Describe a meaningful volunteer experience you’ve had?
• How did this experience change you?
• From a financial standpoint, what impact would this scholarship have on your education?

Reasons that people disagree about public issues that involve science and technology

There is a wealth of information available on how companies can select projects which will be profitable, how to align projects with a company's strategic objectives, how to evaluate proposals, and in general, how to have a successful project.   Yet while projects today are more successful than ever, a substantial number still fail.

Consider some projects that you have worked on either at your job (e.g. office software upgrades, new accounting system, moving to a new location) or in your personal life (e.g. a wedding, modernizing a kitchen, an extensive vacation). Please try and explain why the project you worked on was successful or a failure.

For this discussion forum, conduct research on a current news event that has something to do with diversity in the workplace or in society at large. (Current means within the last 30 - 45 days.) Your current event can be about anything related to diversity, including positive stories of people doing good things. Diversityinc.com is a great source. You can also google and search using "diversity" + "news" and you will find an endless supply of news stories. Make sure the site you use is a reputable source. (Do not use information obtained from a blog.) Post a summary of the article and give us your opinion about the relevance of the article. Discuss how the issue is related to our class. Provide a link to the article so others can access the article and read it if they choose.

Properly poised and magnificently coiffed, Michelle entertains the room. After taking one last spoonful of soup, she politely excuses herself from the dinner table and retreats to the bathroom. Uncovering a toothbrush concealed in her purse, she pushes the toothbrush down her throat and gags. With this behavior, Michelle conceals much more than a toothbrush.

Patterns of mental illness might be concealed all too well by external variables, such as a successful lifestyle, a well-groomed appearance, or a dynamic personality. At times, those suffering with mental illness may be able to control external variables, thus hiding any signs and symptoms. As a result, the differentiation between mental health and mental illness is not always so clear. As a future professional in the field of psychology, you must consider how mental health differs from mental illness for an accurate diagnosis on the basis of the DSM.

For this Discussion, consider the different ways to conceptualize mental health and mental illness in the field of psychology. Think about how this conceptualization may influence your assessment and diagnosis of a client.

With these thoughts in mind:

A brief explanation of the different ways in which mental health and mental illness may be conceptualized in the field of psychology. Then explain at least two ways in which this conceptualization may influence your assessment and diagnosis of a client. Provide examples based on current literature and Learning Resources.
