Explain how the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct can be used to guide decisions in the ethical application of these technologies
Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, be certain to have read all the required resources for this week. In recent years, the psychology profession has been greatly influenced by various forms of technology. The prevalence of psychology professionals using technology to market themselves and engage, socialize, and interact with others has created new opportunities and challenges. This is particularly true with regard to potential interactions with clients via these technologies. Given the exponential growth with which these technological advancements are permeating our world, we expect to see the proliferation of new issues, challenges, and opportunities within the realms of psychological research and practice.
In your initial post:
- Provide an overview of the relevant issues, ongoing trends, challenges, and future opportunities for psychology professionals and the populations they serve.
- Explain how the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct can be used to guide decisions in the ethical application of these technologies.
- Construct clear and concise arguments using evidence-based psychological concepts and theories to explain how current technological and policy shifts may influence trends in psychological research and practice.
- Evaluate potential work settings where the use of technologies promotes ease and convenience for both psychology professionals and the populations they serve.
What are the potential responsibilities of the psychology professionals as providers of care with regard to the use of these technologies? Does the increase in ease, convenience, and experience satisfaction for the parties involved outweigh any potential negative outcomes?

Reflect: As you learn about American Imperialism and the Progressive Era, think about the relationship between these two historical developments, comparing and contrasting Progressive policies at home with their policies abroad.
Consider the areas of American society and economy in need of reform during the first two decades of the 20th century. Think about the domestic issues on which the Progressive Movement focused, such as food safety, worker’s safety, women’s rights, economic inequality, and taxes. Evaluate their approach to these issues.
Think about the factors that contributed to American Imperialism and America’s expanding role in the world. Consider the importance of the expansion of the Navy, the technological advancements, the need for markets brought on by the Industrial Revolution, and the experience of the peoples in America’s imperial holdings.

What And Black Relations In US History Before 1877-According to the documents in this chapter, what were some of the positive changes made for blacks in the United States during Reconstruction? What were some of the problems that Reconstruction posed for blacks?
For each chapter of OB, you should read the entire chapter and take notes (which you will likely use on the respective assignment, as well as in your Midterm/Final Exam studying and other course work). Once you have finished reading the Chapter, you should look at the “Post-Reading Questions” at the end of the Chapter and CHOOSE ONE of the Post-Reading Questions answer. Alternatively, you can choose the “Journal Option” (Option 3 below). For each question set, you should write a 1-2 page typewritten response, being sure to use information directly from the documents themselves. Each answer should also include at least one direct quotation from at least three of the sources referenced in the question (for a total of at least three quotes). Each question set’s answer is worth a possible 2 points. Late Assignments will NOT be accepted.
The questions for Chapter 8 (you should CHOOSE ONE to answer in 1-2 pages) are:
- According to the documents in this chapter, what were some of the positive changes made for blacks in the United States during Reconstruction? What were some of the problems that Reconstruction posed for blacks?
- Pretend you are a former slave who was freed by the 13th Amendment. Using specific examples and quotes from the primary source documents in this chapter, write a letter to a friend or family member (also a former slave who was freed by the 13th Amendment) about your hopes, happiness, fears, and doubts about your future.
- JOURNAL OPTION: Write 1-2 pages of notes on all of the documents you read in this chapter and, at the end, write down 5 questions (i.e. phrases you don’t understand, “aha!” moments you had, contemporary things that you are comparing the reading to). Please see the Journal Notes/Questions Guide (under “Files” for more guidance). Notes/Questions should be typewritten and single-spaced.
Two of the great innovations of the Renaissance in painting were the artist's ability to depict a more contemporary world, and to create the illusion of a three-dimensional world in a painting. By studying and comparing paintings created in Italy from the fourteenth and the fifteenth centuries, you can see how this innovation developed:
- Giotto. Lamentation Fresco in the Scrovegni (Arena) Chapel, 1305–06
- Masaccio, The Tribute Money, c. 1427
- Perugino, Christ Giving the Keys to St. Peter, 1481
In a minimum of 2 well-developed paragraphs, identify and describe at least 3 specific details or elements that progressively illustrate the artist’s concern for depicting a more natural world and for creating the illusion of three-dimensional space on the two-dimensional surface of the painting.
Part 2
As we learned this week, art historians analyze a work of art using a specific vocabulary to describe its physical and visual properties, and by interpreting its subject matter, symbolism, and socio-historical context. Select one of the following paintings:
- Jan Van Eyck, Double Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and His Wife, 1434
- Master of Flémalle, Mérode Altarpiece, 1425-28
- Hugo van der Goes, Portinari Altarpiece, 1474-76
For your selected painting:
- In a paragraph of 4-6 sentences, describe the composition of the painting, including its use of color and light, and the representation of space. Explain why some artistic elements in the painting look realistic to you and some do not look realistic. Discuss whether the figures fit into the space, whether their movements seem believable, whether their clothes fit their bodies properly, and whether there are shadows that make sense.
- Read about your selected painting in the course textbook and/or through reliable online resources. In a paragraph of 4-6 sentences, describe the overall subject matter of the painting; the meaning of some of the objects in the painting; and any social, historical, political, and/or religious factors that are important to understanding the painting. Be sure to provide citations for any outside sources you reference in this part of your response.
Respond to both parts of the assignment thoroughly, making sure to use information from the readings and the lectures. All responses should be in complete sentence form, using proper spelling and grammar.
As soon as possible, review and comment on the work of two of your peers. In your comments, consider areas you would suggest for expansion or clarification.

Final Project
Final Project Outline
The purpose of this project is to watch a documentary film about disability and investigate it in depth, to a level that that enhances your own understanding of the topic in a way that is relevant to you and your career, and prepares you to creatively share this information with others.
Components of the Project:
Summary of a documentary film: (no more than ½ page) Pick one of the documentary films from the sign up page by October 1 and watch it. Write about summary of the documentary film.
- Research: (at least 3 pages) Based on what you watched, research on the topic related to the film. Include at least three reputable scholarly resources (journal, books)
* The campus library system will have the needed resources (books, journals on-line and on the shelves)
*Can also search the Internet—but only use reputable sources. Wikipedia IS NOT a reputable source for this project.
- Mock Interview: (1 page) Imagine that you have a chance to interview a person from the documentary film. What kind of questions do you want to ask? And why? Based on what you found from research, please specify at least 5 interview questions.
- Self-reflection: (1.5 pages) Include what you have learned, and how it addressed your questions, what you still want to learn, and how your new knowledge is going to be useful to you in your future career and/or daily life.
Final Product:
(1) Comprehensive report on the topic, designed to share what questions, assumptions, and rationales guided the project, what was learned (and how it changed your prior assumptions), why what you learned is important for you, members of this class, and the larger society, any other important/interesting things learned, and suggestions for classmates who may need this info in the future.
The report should include a description of documentary film topic, description of the site of your research, written in APA style, and a summary of your overall findings.
