Discussion: Alignment and Social Change In the context of research, alignment and social change will be important topics to return to as you prepare for the next courses in the research sequence and continue your development as a scholar-practitioner. Consider, for example, what criteria are used in your discipline to evaluate alignment of research components. And in what way will your future research contribute to your identity as scholar-practitioner who is dedicated to positive social change? For this Discussion, you will consider criteria for evaluating alignment among the various components of a research study. You will also reflect on your role as a positive social change agent through research. With these thoughts in mind: By Day 4 Post an explanation of the criteria you could use to evaluate alignment between data collection methods and other research components, such as the problem, purpose, research questions, and design. Then, reflecting on the course content, discuss the extent to which your newly acquired research knowledge and skills can support your role as an agent of positive social change. Be specific and provide an example(s). Be sure to support your Main Issue Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style. Read a selection of your classmates’ postings. By Day 6 Respond to a classmate by further supporting his or her criteria for evaluating alignment or respectfully offering a differing perspective.

The purpose of the theory response is to demonstrate an academic and real world knowledge of a specific theoretical construct from the course. The theory response has 5 parts:1) State and define the theory chosen for the Theory Response paper 2) Give the reference for a peer-reviewed research article that uses the theory. Then in one paragraph, summarize how the concept is defined and operational in the study. a You do not need to understand an issue at the concept would be used to understand an issue at the micro- level( that is an issue involving a small group like a youth group or college sports team) Give an example of how the concept would be used to understand an issue from your own life

ou will have to do some research on what COVID-19 is, the history of COVID thus far (where and how it started), future research being done on COVID-19, etc. Then you will need to take the information and relate it to “well-being”. Well-being can be described in and supported by many ways. In this course we cover a variety of concepts on the idea of “well-being”, from social (interacting with people), biological or developmental (health and nature vs. nurture), Abnormal (mental disorders), etc. You may need to look into future chapters, but take all these into account and write about the aspects of well-being that stand out to you. You will examine questions such as (and consider more questions as you do your research): How society changed? How social interactions changed What are the positive AND negative impacts these changes have had on us (e.g. Negative = less in-person interactions vs. Positive = cleaner air). Has human behavior changed? (TP shortage! Aahhh) Introduction: A paragraph or two about what the topic is about. Familiarize the reader of what you will be writing about and why. Explain the focus of the paper. You can give an overview of COVID, how things in society changed due to the virus, what you will talk about in the next paragraphs, etc. Findings: This is the bulk of your paper. These paragraphs will be the content of the topic. You will present relevant background and contextual material about the topic. You can define terms or concepts, for explain what does COVID-19 stands for, what is a coronavirus, what is the idea of wellbeing, what theories or concepts from the book relate to, or help explain well-being, etc.? Discussion/Conclusion: Discuss the relationship between the topic and your findings. In this case, help build a connection between COVID-19 and the multiple forms of well-being (physical/biological, mental, spiritual, social, etc.). Why is this relevant or important? You can even suggest what about this topic needs further research. Reference page: Cite any book, video, or articles you used, etc. you used.

The entire submission should include a total of 3 scholarly references to support your position. 1. What key words did you use and why did you choose them? How easy or difficult was it to find posts using those key words? What are your thoughts about why it was easy or difficult to find the information? 2. Was it easy or difficult to determine the beliefs or views of the individual posting? What cues did you use to determine those attitudes and beliefs? 3. Do you think the posters would say the same thing in the same way if they were having a face-to-face discussion on this topic? Does it matter? Why or why not? 4. Some individuals use their name and/or photo and others used a “handle” or a pseudonym with no photo or a photo of something other than themselves. How does this affect the tone or content of the post? 5. What message does the individual’s posting want the reader to come away believing about different social groups?

Please Read the instructions carefully and see the rubric I attached: The Annotated Bibliography The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate progress in compiling research and to indicate a methodology for organizing your research sources. Include the following in your annotated bibliography: APA citations and annotations for four (4) sources you deem relevant to answering your research question and addressing your thesis; however, you are only required to reference three (3) scholarly sources in your final research paper. For each source: List the source in proper APA format. The references should be organized in alphabetical order by author as on an APA bibliography page. Follow the source with a brief annotation that summarizes the source information (approximately 3–5 sentences). You may quote briefly from the source, but do not copy and paste from the abstract. Include internal citations as needed. In 1 or 2 sentences, explain and evaluate the source’s relevance and significance to your thesis. Does the information from this source support or discredit your thesis? Use an academic tone and style.
