  • Analyzing Current Affairs Through Critical Thinking Hello everyone, and welcome to my presentation on analyzing current affairs through critical thinking. Today, I will be discussing a recent event or issue that has caught my attention and analyzing it using critical thinking skills. Before we Title: Reflection on Video Argument and Personal Position

    Please add separate speaker notes for me to say during presentation
    A Current Affair is considered to be an event of political or social interest and an important happening in the world at the present time.
    1. Choose a video that is up to 2 minutes in length. 
    You may choose a portion of a video by identifying the time frame you are analyzing.
    The clip should be within the last 90 Days
    If you choose an article, you must display the article, read from the article, and show quotes from the article throughout your presentation.
    2. Create a PowerPoint. I have attached a Template with all of the Requirements for this Assignment included below.
    I must be able to see you in the video clip you are analyzing
    Include the Points you are analyzing 
    3. Record a video of you Presenting the content and analysis
    Do no read the PowerPoint. 
    This is like giving a speech in class. Imagine showing the class the clip you are analyzing and using the PP to supplement your speech. You are videotaping the speech instead of giving a live speech
    The video of you presenting, should be around 5 minutes. This is in addition to the 2 minute clip. 
    4. The entire assignment should be a approximately 7 minutes. Clip (2 minutes)+ Presentation (5 minutes)=7 minutes
    5. Address the following in your video
    Clearly identify the argument. Present the premises and conclusion in your chosen article or video clip and explain their importance. 
    Did the speakers/writers use deductive or inductive reasoning?
    Identify three of the following: vague/ambiguous language; credibility; cognitive bias; rhetoric; logical fallacies; generalizations; arguments from analogy; cause and effect reasoning; and value judgments about morality, law, or aesthetics.
    Explain why you think the argument fits this concept. Also, identify if this was purposeful and why, and how this affects the strength of the argument.
    Provide a conclusion to your video. Was the argument convincing? What is your position?
    For this video, choose one item that addresses a current issue and makes connections to class concepts. The item may be print or video—for example, an article from the current edition of a newspaper or magazine, a segment from a news or talk show, a YouTube video, vlog, or any program that features current affairs.
    Your item (up to 2 minutes) will be embedded in a PowerPoint that you will use to supplement your presentation.
    You may use clips of a video, pause a video as necessary to identify concepts, or use a clip for a full 2 minutes. However, you cannot use over two minutes of video in your own presentation.
    Items cannot be more than 90 days old.
    Clips and articles can be embedded in a PowerPoint that you will use to supplement your presentation or you can share your screen and show these separately during your presentation.
    Remember, your PowerPoint is there to guide you during your presentation. Do not overload this with text.
    Submit a 4-5 minute video in which you:
    Use any software you are comfortable with, including Panopto, in order to record yourself speaking and presenting a PowerPoint at the same time. You and your PowerPoint must be visible during the entirety of the presentation. This cannot just be a recording of your face presenting and it cannot just be a voice over with your PowerPoint – Video and screen option should be selected on any media you use.
    Clearly identify the argument. Present the premises and conclusion in your chosen article or video clip and explain their importance. Did the speakers/writers use deductive or inductive reasoning?
    In your article or video clip, identify three of the following: vague/ambiguous language; credibility; cognitive bias; rhetoric; logical fallacies; generalizations; arguments from analogy; cause and effect reasoning; and value judgments about morality, law, or aesthetics.
    Explain why you think the argument fits this concept. Also, identify if this was purposeful and why, and how this affects the strength of the argument.
    Provide a conclusion to your video. Was the argument convincing? What is your position? (30 seconds max)

  • Title: The Biological Basis of Behavior: A Study of Twins Separated at Birth

    FAMILY MATTERS: A Glimpse of Biology and Generational Processes
    Have you ever wondered who the triplets, twins, or individuals researchers were able to conduct studies on to determine the biological basis of behaviors? Well, this will be your time to explore.
    For your first research paper, find the infamous twin or individual study to discuss the biological factors that contribute to a biological basis of behavior. Make sure to provide their names in the paper.
    Be sure to talk about whether they lived together, adopted, or apart, some background information.
    Provide the biopsychosocial changes that happened. Discuss the climax or the moment that people started to notice the changes (for twins it may start to happen at the same time such as puberty), the moment they connected/reunited or disconnect, or die (for example, if one twin is in prison, yet the other is not).
    Discuss Ethical and Multicultural concerns and considerations that were obvious in learning about these participants.
    Discuss the biological behavior(s) that were dominant and recessive among them to show the significance of research in biology, behavior, and mental health.
    This formal paper must be written using APA 7th ed style and formatting. There is no need for an abstract. There is no need for the conclusion to be on a separate page. Your paper should include:
    title page – the title of the paper, name, course, school affiliation, professor name

  • Title: Helping a Friend with Stress and Anxiety Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    The person I’m helping is a friend struggling with managing stress and anxiety.
    2- The problem they are facing is difficulty in coping with daily stressors and overwhelming feelings of anxiety.
    3- The psychological topic I’m using  to help him is cognitive behavioral therapy  which focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and implementing coping strategies to manage stress and anxiety more effectively. This is the response for the step 1 I need help in the step 2,3-4 thank you 
    First, you will need to identify a person you would like to help and a specific problem  he or she would like to improve. For example, you may have a friend who wishes to improve his or her grades in Algebra, or a family member who would like to lose weight, or an acquaintance who is experiencing conflict with a co-worker.
    In step 2, you will identify and describe in detail a course theory, principle, or study finding that is applicable to this person’s problem. The concept you choose can be general or specific, and your description of it should be technical and derived from academic sources. Your description will take the form of a 5-page, Times New Roman, double-spaced paper that you will submit to me toward the 1/3 point of the semester .
    Next, you will develop a specific plan for how you intend to help the person using your knowledge of the concept. You will need to identify the specific goal you have for the person (e.g., a change in behavior, a newfound perspective on an issue, measured success in some area of life), describe precisely how you plan to effect the desired change, and clarify how you will know that you have been successful. 
    Your final task is to step back and reflect on the quality of your work and the outcome of your efforts to provide assistance. Write a 3-page, Times New Roman, double-spaced reflection paper that addresses whether your plan worked. What aspects of it worked and did not work? Also answer the question: How would you improve your plan or the execution of your plan in order for you to be more successful in the future? Submit that to me via CANVAS.

    Could we justify enhancing humans if it harms no one other than perhaps the individual?
    Does human enhancement raise issues of fairness, access, and equity?
    Will it matter if there is an “enhancement divide”?
    What kind of societal disruptions might arise from human enhancement?
    If individuals are enhanced differently, will communication be more difficult or impossible?
    Is there a right to be enhanced?
    Is there an obligation in some circumstance to be enhanced? (Virtual Reality Training Programs, vaccines, drone warfare, etc.)
    Should children be enhanced?
    Should there be limits on enhancements, e.g., for military purposes?
    Will we need to rethink ethics itself?
    Does the notion of human dignity suffer with human enhancements?

    Case: End-Stage Kidney Disease
    Cynthia, a 53-year-old female presented to the emergency room due to feeling constantly tired, hungry, thirsty, and with frequent urination. Her past medical history is significant for cirrhosis and end-stage kidney disease. Physical examination had revealed yellowish discoloration to the skin, multiple bruises, bilateral edema, and weakness lasting more than three weeks. Laboratory tests were ordered (results provided below) after which she was prescribed metformin and informed to contact a doctor if she starts experiencing nausea, vomiting, fast breathing, and/or lethargy, as metformin has been known to cause metabolic acidosis.

    Answer the following questions regarding Cynthia’s case:
    What hormone is not functioning properly causing Cynthia’s glucose levels to be abnormal? Furthermore, explain in depth how this hormone regulates blood glucose levels.
    What other hormone(s) are responsible for maintaining normal glucose levels? Explain in depth how they work.
    Explain why Cynthia is presenting with excessive thirst (polydipsia), tiredness and hunger (polyphagia), and frequent urination (polyuria).
    Explain why Cynthia is experiencing hypotension. How does the body and its various organ systems bring the blood pressure back towards homeostasis?
    What do you expect Cynthia’s heart rate and end-diastolic volume (EDV) to be (elevated, normal, or low) and justify your expectation with cardiovascular formulas such as cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV).
    What is the importance of iron in the body and the consequence of it being 40 mcg/dL?
    Explain in detail what gluconeogenesis is and where in the body it occurs? Knowing that gluconeogenesis helps maintain blood glucose level, what is the effect of metformin on the management of diabetes mellitus type 2?
    Looking at Cynthia’s albumin levels, what effect does it have on her (a) blood osmolarity (b) glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and (c) urine volume?
    Explain how glucose is normally reabsorbed by the kidneys? What is happening in Cynthia’s kidneys resulting in glucosuria and what effect does glucosuria have on her blood pressure?
    If Cynthia ends up developing metabolic acidosis, what would the levels of her pH, CO2, and HCO3 be in the blood? Furthermore, how would the body compensate and address both renal and respiratory compensation (optional: show the compensation via a flow chart)?

Please use it and be as detailed as possible for each question, with 6-8 sentences per question.
    1A. A 50-year-old male had a total thyroidectomy followed by thyroid hormonereplacement therapy. Thirty-six hours later he developed laryngeal spasms, a mild
    tetany, and cramps in the muscles of the hands and arms. The following tests were
    performed:
    Urine calcium 20 mg/dL
    Urine phosphorus 0.1 g/day
    Plasma calcium 7.0 mg/dL
    Plasma phosphorus 5.0 mg/dL

    2. What is the purpose of vitamin D administration with the calcium?
    3. What caused the tetany and laryngeal spasms?
    4. How is blood calcium normally maintained at its physiological level? 
    1B. A 45-year-old male from the Midwest presented with the following symptoms
    during February: weakness, fatigue, orthostatic hypotension, weight loss,
    dehydration, and decreased cold tolerance. His blood chemistry values follow:
    Serum sodium 128 mEq/L
    Serum potassium 6.3 mEq/L
    Fasting blood glucose 65 mg/dL
    BUN 4.5 mg/dL
    Serum creatinine 0.5 mg/dL
    Hematology tests resulted in the following values:
    Hematocrit 50%
    Leukocytes 5000/cu mm
    Cont. of 1B: He also noticed increased pigmentation (tanning) of both exposed and
    nonexposed portions of the body and back. A plasma cortisol determination indicated a
    low cortisol level. Following administration of ACTH, plasma cortisol did not rise
    significantly after sixty and ninety minutes. Endogenous circulating levels of ACTH were
    later determined to be significantly elevated.
