The legacies of racial and ethnic constructs

/0 Comments/in /by

On this National Geographic page, I read “humans share over 99 percent of their genetic material with one another, and variation occurs more between individuals than ethnic groups. Nevertheless, the legacies of racial and ethnic constructs can be spotted in everything from housing to health.” What are your thoughts on categorizing race with regard to health?

For this assignment, your group will be looking at the role of interdisciplinary communication regarding professionalism in the workplace.

Locate the following United Nations Convention on the internet: CEDAW (Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women). Once you locate the convention, find the Country Report by Canada. Read the report and look for references made to Aboriginal women and violence in Canada.

Post a summary response about what you found, making sure that you provide a critical perspective on what has been reported by Canada. For example, do you think the references to Aboriginal women are significant in the report given the current statistics around violence against Aboriginal women in this country? Do you think the language is consistent with what you have been reading? What is your overall response to Canada’s report on violence against women?

The different types of memory and the steps in the memory process

/0 Comments/in /by

In this module, we learned about the different types of memory and the steps in the memory process. Pick two different concepts from the list below and find an article online that reflects each concept.  You are looking for articles that show real-world examples of the concepts, (types of memory) not scholarly articles about the concepts.  You should not be discussing psychology studies or using psychology sites such as psychology today. Examples of articles to look for

  • Impact of cell phones on memory–articles not studies
  • Why do we get memory wrong?
  • How can lifestyles affect memory?
  • How does social media impact memory
  • Find articles that would be an example of procedural memory without googling procedural memory
  • Research some events that would be considered a flashbulb memory without googling flashbulb memory

Pick 2 concepts from this list:  flashbulb memory, episodic memory, retrieval, recognition, long term memory, semantic memory, implicit/procedural memory

*For example, if you decide to pick flashbulb memory and semantic memory then you would need to find an article that reflects the use of flashbulb memory and an article that reflects the use of semantic memory.  Two concepts & two articles.

After reading through each of the articles address the following for each:

  1. Provide a summary of the article. Be sure your summary has enough detail to ensure full credit.
  2. Identify the type of memory that the article reflects
  3. Explain why the article reflects that type of memory.  Make sure to highlight specifics from the article that support your analysis. Make sure to accurately incorporate and underline at least 4 different terms for each article (this does not include the memory you are discussing)
  4. Pick one of the other concepts listed above and explain how that concept is different from the one that your article reflects.
  5. Accurately cite your article sources. Use a citation generator for help with citation using APA  format.  NO Citation means no credit

Theories on phases of development

/0 Comments/in /by

What are teratogens? Give a brief description of the process by which teratogens affect an unborn baby. Explain specific theories on phases of development that could be applicable in this discussion.

This is what I have so far, but can not pinpoint theories on phases of development.

1.)  Teratogens are considered to be harmful external agents. Male fetuses tend to be more sensitive to them than female fetuses. Teratogens include opioids and alcohol that affect the baby’s chance to survive after birth. One cause of this can be sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). A baby who is born after having been hosted by a mother who has used alcohol or opioids will have a higher rate and a wider range to have developmental disabilities which include attentional disorders (ADHD) and an autism spectrum disorder. A mother who uses alcohol and/or opioids can cause their child to be born addicted to the opioid or cause them life-long harm by causing them to be disabled or be on the autistic spectrum. They may also face the cause of sudden infant death syndrome. While the fetus is unborn, the effects of the opioids the mother uses also effects the brain development and possible growth of the fetus. This will cause more issues when it comes to being brought into the world, with the previous information provided.

The risk of emotional and behavioral disturbances among children

/0 Comments/in /by

Research has estimated that the risk of emotional and behavioral disturbances among children with intellectual disabilities is approximately three to five times greater than among typically developing children (Enfold, Ellis, & Emerson, 2011).

How might intellectual disabilities affect a child’s sense of self-worth and perception of competency as they enter adolescence and young adulthood? What effects might this have on functioning in school, relationships, work, and family?

What are five factors can lead to intellectual and developmental disabilities?
These factors include genetics; parental health and behaviors (such as smoking and drinking) during pregnancy; complications during birth; infections the mother might have during pregnancy or the baby might have very early in life; and exposure of the mother or child to high levels of environmental toxins, such as lead …
When using the DSM-5 What is the level of severity of intellectual disability based on?
The severity of ID is defined by the level of adaptive impairment and the level of support needed. The American Psychiatric Association’s DSM-5 categorizes adaptive impairment from mild to profound. The AAIDD uses categories of intermittent, limited, extensive, and pervasive.
