This is a post from one of my classmate from a group discussion. I need a response for this post. Thanks!

“Imperialism refers to an imbalance of power in the political sphere, usually among nations. It happens when a stronger nation takes over a weaker one and seeks to gain control of its people, economy and culture.”

When you look at the effects on Africa, it is hard to believe that there was a benefit for its native people. When countries with overcrowding sent their citizens to Africa to colonize, the ultimately imposed their religion, culture and social norms on the native people. While some may say that the colonies development led to more structure it took away the rights of the African people and they were left with little control over their lives.
Countries with overcrowding and limited resources for their citizens moved large numbers of them to Africa, spreading their religion, education, social norms and cultures to that continent. African lands were divided into bureaucratic systems run through indirect rule. While this led to more structure, it left Europeans dictating all aspects of Africans' lives and left very little to their control.
The exploitation of natural resources was another negative effect of the colonization of Africa. In an effort to compete with other nations for economic dominance ( ), European nations expanded their control over African colonies. Local governments were controlled by the Europeans leading to a subordinate group of native people.

What is Logotherapy and how has it contributed to our modern day understanding of existential psychology?

More specifically, according to the Mueller Indictments, how did the Russians use the following entities to their advantage (and to America’s disadvantage) during the 2016 election?

Give an example of each one:

a. Intelligence-gathering to inform U.S. operations

b. Use of U.S. social media platforms

c. Use of U.S. computer infrastructure

d. Use of stolen U.S. identities

Is it always best to look at the positive aspect of the situation? Give an example.

Popular culture has taken many psychological experiments out of context.For example, Sperry’s “Split Brain” experiment has led many to inaccurately believe that the right side of the brain is “creative,” while the left side of the brain is “logical.” Explain why people would have come to that conclusion. In other words, what was it about Sperry’s experiment that pointed to that outcome?

John is a happy man with a healthy appetite and sex drive. After a farm accident, John’s emotions are, overall, decreased and erratic. He gains weight and loses all interest in sexual relations with his wife. No longer feeling adequate in comparison to his neighbors, John thinks about suicide and drugs. From what you know about motivation, stress, emotions and personality what could be going on with John? How would you treat John for his problems if you were his therapist (choose one or two perspectives)?

Did you experience the hidden curriculum in your educational experience? How so? If not, why do you think you did not experience the hidden curriculum?

At the end of your educational journey will you have more, less, or the same amount of education as your parents? Do you think the value of a degree has increased or decreased from the past to the present? What evidence informs your belief about the value of education?

How does fear, stress, and anxiety manifest in the brain? What are ways that we can reduce fear and anxiety?

Explain in detail how contractarianism may lead to different results from both utilitarianism and egalitarianism in deciding the distribution of medical resourses.

“A mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems.” ——Alfred R ?enyi 1 Paul Erdo ?s, one of the most prolific mathematicians, used amphetamines heavily in order to do math. He complained that math was “set back by a month” when he stopped taking the drug for a month. Do you think cognitive enhancement is permissible? Present what you take to be the strongest argument for your claim in the premise-and-conclusion form and briefly justify the premises. (. No more than 2-3 premises.) Compare cognitive enhancement with doping in sports. Explain what you consider as the most important similarity and the most important difference between them.

The argument against Procreative Beneficence (PB) based on varieties is as follows:

P1. If we practice PB and select the best genes, then there won’t be good varieties.

P2. We should have varieties.
C. Therefore, we shouldn’t practice PB and select the best genes.

Suppose the technique of genetic modification is at least as advanced as what is shown in Gattaca. One reply to this argument is based on distinguishing between government-directed eugenics and individual-directed eugenics. Elaborate on this reply. (4?) Raise a worry about this reply. You are encouraged to use your own examples to support your claim. (6?)
