In the section leave the century is only credible god (pg.173-174) there are some strong parallels to what is happening in today global political spectrum. Based on the paragraphs of this section, what connections do you see with what is happening in our country and around the world? Fully explain your conclusions with specific links to the section.2. In the section labeled the panoply of legislation (pg.174-175) the sentence “the state could now freely suppress people’s liberties through stringent congressional statutes and the politics of legislation that gave their investigations a constitutional cover” the HUAC was able to push through acts that could restrict Americans rights while disguising these oppressive laws under the perceived Legality afforded by the constitution.

In Chapter 5 of the textbook, e-learning as a method of training is discussed.In Chapter 6, potential barriers of e-learning readiness to implementing e-learning as a training method are examined. In a two- to three- page paper (excluding the title and reference pages), examine e-learning and the barriers. Include the following in your paper:Describe e-learning as a training method.Describe the potential barriers of e-learning readiness.Analyze how e-learning readiness has affected your success at Ashford University.Explain what a trainer can do to prepare learners for e-learning.Your paper must include in-text citations and references from at least two scholarly sources, excluding the textbook, and be formatted according to APA guidelines

we explore another basic principle of behavior—punishment. Punishment decreases behavior. Many misconceptions about punishment exist, but when used correctly, it is an important part of the learning process. Punishment is a consequence that follows a behavior and decreases the future likelihood of that behavior occurring again. Decreasing problem behaviors is a common task for behavior analysts, so it is important to understand how punishment works.For this assignment, complete the following:Define both positive and negative punishment. Be sure to explain how they are similar and how they are different in your definitions.Provide two real-world, detailed examples of how positive punishment could be used to decrease behaviors you would like to see occur less often. Also, provide two real-world, detailed examples of how negative punishment could be used to decrease behaviors you would like to see occur less often. For example, a parent may use negative punishment by removing television privileges when his or her child curses. Another parent may use positive punishment by requiring the child to write the sentence “I will use nice words.” 100 times after cursing.Be sure to explain why the examples you chose illustrate that procedure.

1. Psychoanalytic theory places great emphasis on the first five years of life for later personality development. Does this fit your intuition about personality, or intuitively does it seem as if significance changes occur after the early childhood years?The first five years of a child’s life are extremely crucial to their development. This concept doesn’t just fit my intuition about personality but it carries a significant meaning and implications as I’ve got to witness it in several areas of my area of work. During those years, the child undergoes rapid physical development, cognitive progression, emotional awareness, and daily health milestones. One cannot overemphasize the importance of those years in a child’s life because they could potentially have lifelong implications on personality and overall functioning.One of my supervisors in my previous area of work used to liken the first five years to an investment fund. The more you tend to it and deposit appropriate learning, the better the return in future smarter, stronger, healthier and more productive individuals. In other words, the first five years last forever.I develop my perception from years of graduate level studying through my master’s coursework, 8 years of working with children in the field of child protective services, and finally my personal experience with observing children develop and grow to interact, function, and handle situations in their environment.2. Think of a time when you became aware that there was a discrepancy between your actual and ideal self.
