Answer these questions about The Stanford prison experiment (SPE) View the slide show at http://www.prisonexp.org/ and answer discussion questions 12,13, and 14 on the discussion board 12.Was it ethical to do this study? Was it right to trade the suffering experienced by participants for the knowledge gained by the research? (The experimenters did not take this issue lightly, although the Slide Show may sound somewhat matter-of-fact about the events and experiences that occurred). 13. How do the ethical dilemmas in this research compare with the ethical issues raised by Stanley Milgram’s obedience experiments? Would it be better if these studies had never been done? 14. If you were the experimenter in charge, would you have done this study? Would you have terminated it earlier? Would you have conducted a follow-up study?

Attached Files: File HIST 1302 NSC-68.pdf (1.864 MB) File HIST 1302 Patriot Act.pdf (227.66 KB) Carefully read and analyze the following documents: NSC-68 which was disseminated in April 1950 by the United States National Security Council and the Patriot Act which Congress passed after the terrorist attacks in September 2001. Based on these two documents, and what you have learned in your HIST 1302 class, consider these questions: What is the exact challenge the United States faces, according to the primary document? What were the ideological, political, and economic differences between the United States and the Soviet Union? What were the major security concerns for the United States? What strategies did the United States government believe would best protect the country’s values and national security? How did the United States government intend to enlist the assistance of its citizens to ensure political, economic, and cultural security? Explain the relationship between post-war Soviet espionage and the emergence of internal security and loyalty programs under Truman and Eisenhower. The government often infringes on civil liberties in order to protect national security, is this constitutionally sound? Why or why not? Having considered these questions, write an essay of at least 800 words that: Makes a specific argument that can be supported with the specific historical evidence of these two primary documents, as well as lecture notes and the textbook assigned to your class; Analyzes the historical significance of these two primary documents; Analyzes the nature of the Cold War in the 1950s; Evaluates the similarities and differences between NSC-68 and the Patriot Act; Is written in standard English, with all sources and quotes properly cited using MLA format; Is written in your own words, not copied and pasted from other sources or web sites; Is submitted through eCampus by clicking the CORE OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT link above.

Your job in this assignment is to enter into the critical conversation about the effects of the internet on learning, knowledge, memory, concentration, and thinking. To do so, write an argumentative essay, between about 1,000 and 1,500 words, that answers the question posed by Nicholas Carr: Is Google making us stupid? Your essay should make your own position clear, and drawing on your own experiences, your analysis of Carr’s argument, our class discussions, and your research into outside sources in order to make an argument that answers Carr’s question. One of your goals in this assignment should be to establish a sense of ethos, or character and credibility. Do so by indicating that you share your audience’s values, by showing your own experiences with the internet, and by demonstrating that you have done your homework about the subject matter by looking into what others have said about Carr’s claims.

No title page. Just 2 references If your last name starts with L-Z your primary post examines Moral Courage: Consider situations where a GN is taken off orientation prematurely, a physician’s order is obtained after nursing action is taken, or an omitted intervention (vital sign, medication, or treatment) is charted as having been done. You will select one set of questions to respond to after reading Kleinman or Murray, & Lachman articles that are live-linked here. Moral Courage: Dr. Kleinman (2006) believes “gradual erosion” of ethics takes place subconsciously (Ethical Drift: When good people do bad things). Drift occurs in a normally well-grounded individual outside of awareness, as a series of tiny exceptions to personal rules or moral values. Continual acceptance of the “lesser of two evils”, results in the nurse straying far off original course until disaster prompts self-examination. Do you agree with the author’s stated cause of the “ethos gap”? Why or why not? The author believes we are now practicing under very different ethical theories than ever before. Why, and do you agree? How can you develop better self-awareness in the workplace to prevent drift? Or Murray offers multiple definitions of “moral courage” in Moral Courage in Healthcare: Acting ethically even in the presence of risk. Lachman (2016) defines moral courage through the behaviors seen in resilient nurses. You may want to consider her list of quotes that place the concept of moral courage into words before composing your own definition, Moral Resilience – Lachman 2016. Compose a personal definition of moral courage. Review the list of behaviors that inhibit moral courage (Murray, linked above, provides Kidder’s 2005 list – you will see a table). Have you experienced one or more of these inhibitors? Explain your response. 3. Do you have moral courage?

The primary goal of the Learning and Cognition Handbook is to integrate concepts from the discipline of learning and cognitive psychology into a usable and professional guide that is designed for a specified audience which will be designated based on students’ current or future career goals. Students will choose one of five assigned constructs and focus their handbook on this specific area of learning and cognition. Skills and information learned throughout the course will be applied in the design and creation of this handbook. Findings from required sources, including those from the text and individual peer-reviewed articles, will be incorporated into the handbook; however, these findings will not constitute the total information for each of the sub-constructs addressed within the project. Students should include the relevant sources they researched in the Week Two Discipline-Based Literature Review as well as those from the Week Three Assignment. The purpose of the handbook is to share helpful strategies, apply the chosen construct to seven sub-constructs in the field, and present a holistic guide for others that can be used in the discipline. To complete this assignment, students may utilize the Learning and Cognition Handbook template (Links to an external site.) or create their own using the template as a guide. Each section of the handbook should be written in the student’s own words with use of limited paraphrased material cited according to APA standards as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.). Each section of the handbook should include a minimum of one visual (e.g., table, figure, or image) with a maximum of five visuals per section. Each image must be retrieved and cited based on current copyright laws. Students may wish to use the Where to Get Free Images guide (Links to an external site.) for assistance with accessing freely available public domain and/or Creative Commons licensed images. The following constructs will be the subject content options for this handbook and will be chosen based on an evaluative literature review in Week Two and students’ future career goals: • The Neurosciences: A Look at Our Brains • Socio-Cognition: Social Interactions in Learning • Learning and Literacy: Reading, Writing, and Language Development • Diversity and Culture: The Effects to Learning • Connectionism and Learning: A Web of Development The sections listed below must be used within the paper to delineate the sections of content. Table of Contents In this section, students will list all sections and subsections included in the handbook with the applicable page numbers. Preface In this section, students will provide a 100- to 150-word overview of the handbook and its potential use by the chosen audience. Introduction to Chosen Construct In this section, students will provide a 200- to 300-word introductory summary of the chosen construct and discuss any careers in psychology specifically related to this construct. Beginning with the work completed in Week One, students will include the language from their personal epistemology (revised based on instructor feedback and the further development of their ideas and beliefs throughout the course and the program thus far). Chosen Construct In this section, students will provide information that communicates how and why the chosen construct of learning and cognition affects the following sub-constructs through synthesizing the learning principles and/or theories. For each of the sub-constructs, students will apply basic research methods and skeptical inquiry to explain the theoretical perspectives and empirical findings that substantiate the relationship between the construct and the sub-constructs. Although creative liberties are encouraged, all information incorporated should be supported and professionally presented through the consistent application of ethical principles and adherence to professional standards of learning and cognition psychology as applied to the chosen audience. Sub-Constructs Information for each sub-construct will be presented in 500 to 700 words. • Comprehension • Problem Solving • Memory Development/Retention • Lifelong Learning • Domains and Domain Learning • Affective Outcomes of Emotion • Effects of Demographic Differences (e.g., gender, socioeconomics, religious affiliation, race) Conclusion In this section, students will provide a 200- to 300-word summarization of the handbook in which they describe the importance of the chosen construct and assigned sub-constructs within the learning and cognition domain and their applicability within the psychology profession for the chosen audience. Attention Students: The Masters of Arts in Psychology program is utilizing the Pathbrite portfolio tool as a repository for student scholarly work in the form of signature assignments completed within the program. After receiving feedback for this Learning and Cognition Handbook, please implement any changes recommended by the instructor, go to Pathbrite (Links to an external site.) and upload the revised Learning and Cognition Handbook to the portfolio. (Use the Pathbrite Quick-Start Guide (Links to an external site.) to create an account if you do not already have one.) The upload of signature assignments will take place after completing each course. Be certain to upload revised signature assignments throughout the program as the portfolio and its contents will be used in other courses and may be used by individual students as a professional resource tool. See the Pathbrite website for information and further instructions on using this portfolio tool. The Learning and Cognition Handbook • Must be 4000 to 7000 words (see instructions and rubric for each section and sub-construct) following the Learning and Cognition Handbook template (Links to an external site.) as a guide. Although a handbook differs from a written paper, all citations and references must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.). • Must include a title page with the required information from the handbook template: o Title of handbook o Student’s name o Institution’s name o Student’s contact information (address and email) o Course name and number o Instructor’s name o Date submitted • Must include the sections and subsections required as indicated in the handbook template. • Must address the construct and sub-constructs with critical thought and substantiated assertions. • Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. • Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center at the end of the handbook and precedes any optional appendices if applicable to the project.
