This discussion includes several steps. Please complete the following steps and write an initial post answering the questions:1. Please go to this website and take the Project Implicit test.(link)  https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/a. Select the Project Implicit Social Attitudes link.b. Read through the information here and select I wish to proceed at the bottom of the page (keep in mind that the information they want to gather from you is optional and you do not have to give any information about yourself to see the results)c. Scroll down and select the Race IAT linkd. Read through the information and select Continuee. On this page, you can either answer the Questions in the Questionnaire or select Decline on each questionf. You can then answer the Demographic questions or select Decline to Answer for each questiong. After going through the Demographic questions, you will see the instructions for theProject Implicit test. Follow these instructions and complete the test. At the end of the test, you will see your results.2. Consider the Project Implicit test that you took and what you learned this week about validity and reliability. Do you think that the Project Implicit test is valid? Is the Project Implicit test really exploring your implicit bias or do you think the test has limitations? What about the method they use of clicking letters on the keyboard to determine internal bias? What type of measurement error could emerge through the method used in the Project Implicit test?3. Do you believe that the Project Implicit test is reliable? Would you likely get the same results if you took the Project Implicit test 10 times in a row?4. How would we test the validity or reliability of the Project Implicit test? How could we improve the Project Implicit test to be more valid or reliable?5. Now, think about other surveys, quizzes, or tests that you have taken in the past. For example, a survey about your political views. Was that survey valid? Did that survey explore the actual topic of the survey? Was this survey reliable? What is the importance of having a reliable and valid measurement?

InstructionsAfter you have completed your assigned readings and reviewed the lecture content, respond to all of the discussion board questions. Take into consideration the requirements as you create your response.For this week’s discussion, please respond to the following case.You are a clinician in an OASAS Licensed Program. Richard Ortegada (Ricky) has seen you for 5 individual sessions of treatment for his opioid use disorder (in early remission). He is a very charming , persuasive and likable 32 year old Puerto Rican American male. He is married with 3 pre-school children and has a good union job providing heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) services to the Marriott hotel chain in the NYC Burroughs. Despite wearing steel toe boots, he managed to break 3 toes on his left foot last year and was out of work for 4 months – debt has piled up. He was over prescribed an opioid medication and became dependent. He began buying pills from a coworker before he went back to work, so that he could go back to work (every step still hurts) and start getting full paychecks to support his family again (worker’s comp was only paying two-thirds of his salary).Recently Ricky was arrested for possession of opioid Rx pain pills. He is on pre-trial probation for felony possession of a controlled substance and is due back in court next month; you have a signed consent form to communicate with his probation officer (who you know well from previous shared cases – you have a trusting relationship). If he violates his probation or gets convicted he will lose his job. Ricky is required to maintain participation in treatment as part of his probation deal, otherwise they would hold him in jail until his next court date. “I can’t break my kid’s hearts – I am not my Dad.” He reports that he forgot to fill out the ‘continuing case’ report for workers comp and “it has raised hell with everything”, including his insurance coverage which is temporarily cancelled, but starts again in 10 days – he shows you the paper. He knows you need to get paid for visits at the agency and figures it would be ok if he sees you this week, like he has to, but you just date the visit for next week so he doesn’t blow his probation and lose his job. Or maybe he could just skip the visit but you can still tell probation that he is in compliance with pre-trial weekly counseling anyway because he will be good to go next week. His wife is being seen at the clinic as well and maybe you could bill this as a family session for a couple of weeks.Discussion QuestionsHow do you respond? What are the options for you both here? Discuss your dialog with him including anticipated reactions from him. Start your discussion with him right after he tells you all this and asks “So what do you think?” What’s your first response? Where do you go from there? How does this end?

Requirements:1. Propose a research question related to our studies. There are several examples listed below – you may use one of those if you wish or propose your own2. Identify the independent variable and the dependent variables3. Suggest an hypothesis4. Go to our library and find at least 1 peer-reviewed academic journal article related to your research question. Provide the Reference to that article in APA format.Research Question:After you select a basic topic, you need to develop a research question that expresses what you intend to study. It should include independent and dependent variables, which are discussed below. One easy way to begin the development of a research question is to simply state your topic idea as a question. For example: Topic – I’m interested in finding out if race impacts prison sentence length. Research Question: Does race impact prison sentence length? Then refine the question: Do African-American non-violent felons’ receive longer prison sentences than their White non-violent felon counterparts?Independent and Dependent Variables:The Independent Variable (IV) is the social/identifying element that may have an impact on the Dependent Variable (DV). For example, two common IV’s that we study are race and age. The race or age of the accused may have an impact on whether or not the accused is prosecuted.The Dependent Variable is the social element that varies based on how the independent variable interacts with it, such as prison sentence length.I think of it like this: The dependent variable (prison sentence length) depends on the independent variable (race of offender).Examples:1. A convicted felons’ prison sentence length (dependent variable) may vary by felons’ race (independent variable). The prison sentence length depends on the race of the felon.2. A convicted felons’ prison sentence length (dependent variable) may vary by felons’ economic class (dependent variable). The prison sentence length depends on the economic class of the felon.3. Compared with men (independent variable), women (independent variable) receive lighter prison sentences (dependent variable) for the same offenses.4. Juvenile offenders sentenced to juvenile facilities (dependent variable) are more likely to have committed a violent offense (dependent variable) when compared with non-violent juvenile offenders (independent variable).5. Black juveniles and adults (independent variable) are more likely to have criminal justice contact (dependent variable) than White juveniles and adults (independent variable).6. Black juvenile offenders (independent variable) are waived to adult court (dependent variable) more often than White juvenile offenders (independent variable).Hypothesis:An hypothesis is essentially a guess about how the independent variable(s) will impact the dependent variable(s). It’s basically your best guess on the answer to your research question before you have done your research. For example, I hypothesize that women receive lighter prison sentences when compared with men. Another example: I hypothesize that Black juveniles have more contact with the juvenile justice system than White juveniles.General requirements:Submissions should be typed, double-spaced, 1″ margins, times new roman 12 pt font, and saved as .doc, .docx, .pdf.Use APA format for citations and referencesView the grading rubric so you understand how you will be assessed on this Assignment.Disclaimer- Originality of attachments will be verified by Turnitin. Both you and your instructor will receive the results.This course has “Resubmission” status enabled to help you if you realized you submitted an incorrect or blank file, or if you need to submit multiple documents as part of your Assignment. Resubmission of an Assignment after it is grades, to attempt a better grade, is not permitted.**Please use this topic below:*****Black juvenile offenders (independent variable) are waived to adult court (dependent variable) more often than White juvenile offenders (independent variable).The peer review article that I selected is Trends of the Time: An Examination of Judicial Waiver in One State. I have uploaded the peer review to use for this assignment.Please be sure you follow all instructions carefully please. 

What do you think is the worst or most serious problem facing the US elderly? Explain your answer.You MUST include the entire question at the beginning of your response.  Failure to do so will result in a 10 point deduction from your grade.

To discover the issues and problems in creating classifications for gangs including a definition that delineates what constitutes a gang and differentiates it from other social and sports groups. What is the definition of a team? The text provides an overview of some research into these issues.Read the Text, Chapters 6, 11 to 15. (You may also use any information from the chapters you read in Module 1.)Using research studies from the text as a beginning point, going to one of the online resources such as the National Youth Gang Center or local sources, research classification approaches for Gangs. Also, check library databases and recommended web links in Module 1.Compare at least three approaches to classify gang data acquired in Module 1. What types of gangs are in evidence using each approach? How do you know that? Does this classification provide any specific insights or information about gangs in the Community?What problems did you encounter in applying that classification to your data? How representative is that of other efforts?Create your report (3-4 pages). Include a brief statement on your process (2-3 paragraphs) and appropriate citations (APA Style).

This discussion includes several steps. Please answer the following questions:1. Write about a research topic that you are interested in. Explain why you are interested in this topic.2. Develop three research questions that would help you explore your research topic. List these three research questions out in your initial post.3. Watch the following video and answer the following questions. For each of your three research questions, clearly label each of the independent variables and dependent variables included in your research questions.  Also, keep in mind that a research question is: clear, focused, concise, complex, arguable4. Provide a clear and concise hypothesis for each research question. What do you predict will be the relationship between your variables?5. Would a quantitative or qualitative data analysis answer your research question? Why did you pick this type of data analysis? What would a quantitative data analysis tell you about your research questions that you would not likely learn from a qualitative data analysis and vice versa?To help you complete the fifth step above, you can read about differences between quantitative and qualitative data analysis here (scroll down to see the sections on quantitative and qualitative data analysis).Please see Youtube link for video to answer questions for assignment.https://youtu.be/H_ZE45FiDSc

Discuss the distinction between ethical egoism, the moral minimum, the moral maximum and supererogation as it relates to the following scenario: “You are strolling in the park on a beautiful day and spot a child drowning in a lake. You cannot swim. What should/ could you do?”Discuss in light of the debate on neighbor love discussed in class. Address how benevolence, nonmaleficence, supererogation, self-interest, selflessness, altruism and egoism fit into the debate. Discuss the Johnson article and how it applies to the issue of selfishness and helping. 

Written Activity #3: Busting Myths & The War on ScienceThis week is we will begin to acquire specific tools to bring anthropological perspectives to the public arena.  You will read Part I “Myth Busting Tools” of Agustin Fuentes’ (2011) book in order to give us a method for Public Anthropology.  We will be specifically focused on the “War on Science” this week, and thoughts on how to combat it.Objective: To think about the holistic approach using science, emergent controversies, and belief as a springboard; examine the specific tools of bringing anthropological perspectives and methods outside of the academyOutcome: Discussing – and writing about – the ethics, benefits, and pitfalls of bringing an anthropological approach to wider publics and controversial debates.Readings:First, read the following: 1. Slakey (__) End of Reason Actions2. Sidky (2018) The War on Science ActionsThen, Part I “Myth Busting Tools” (p. 1-64) from Fuentes (2012). In one post of appx. 750+ words, answer the following questions based upon and THIS WEEK’S readings:1. What is a ‘myth’ that you would like to ‘bust’ in/for American or Global society? Be specific about the myth and its implications, and provide a source that exemplifies your ‘myth’ (eg. news source, website, academic article, book, etc).2. How would you begin to use Fuentes’ “tools” to make a plan to”bust” the myth?  Be specific, and be sure to include an analysis of the reading.3. Do you think that Slakey’s work is directly relevant to today’s world?  If so, how and why?4. Does Fuentes accomplish what Sidkey (2018) asks? If so, be specific in your explanation.  Or is Fuentes complicit somehow in the “war on science”?The standard Activities Rubric will be used to grade this exercise.1. Anthropological Perspectives (4) Exhibits awareness and understanding of ethnocentrism, cultural relativity, contexts, and power in all activities;2. Course Concepts (4) Directly and appropriately utilizes course terminology in all writing and activities;3. Examples (4) Describes and utilizes appropriate examples from course materials (readings, films, individual fieldwork, media sources);4. Follows Instructions (4)  Is this a compare/contrast discussion?  Did you find outside sources if required?  Were you supposed to upload an image?  Follow the directions!!  And put in some effort;5. Writing, Style, Organization (4)  Writing is always important.  The writing can be indicative of your effort (see #4 above).
