Assignment 1: Midlife Crisis Individuals in middle adulthood experience both gains and losses in physical, cognitive, and psychosocial functioning. Middle adulthood can be a very positive experience. On the other hand, developmental issues associated with middle adulthood can be stressful. Understanding stressors experienced during middle adulthood is the key to effectively serving this age group. Tasks: Research evidence suggests that the midlife crisis is not a typical aspect of development. However, most people can provide anecdotal evidence of someone who has experienced such a crisis. Review the professional literature—articles from peer-reviewed journals and relevant textbooks—and answer the following questions: What stressors during middle adulthood might contribute to such a crisis? How might an individual's multicultural identities affect the stressors experienced during middle adulthood? What types of preventative or protective behaviors could prevent the individual from experiencing a developmental crisis? Submission Details: By Saturday, July 11, 2015 , post your responses to this Discussion Area in a minimum of 200 words. Your response should rely upon at least two sources from professional literature.

Discussion - Week 6 Top of Form Discussion: Perspectives on the Aging Process You may be familiar with the phrases, “You’re only as old as you feel” and “age is nothing but a number.” To what extent do you believe these common sayings? Do you see yourself as younger or older than your biological age? And what are your views on the aging process—is it something to be avoided and feared, or celebrated? As individuals grow older, they experience biological changes, but how they experience those changes varies considerably. Someone who is particularly fit at 70, for example, might perceive themselves to be in their 50s. And someone who has dealt with significant hardship and ailing health who is 70 might feel like they are in their 80s. Aging adults’ experiences are influenced not only by how they feel but also by how an older adult should look or should act, according to societal norms and stereotypes. In this Discussion you examine biological aspects of later adulthood, and how these aspects intersect with psychological and social domains. You also consider your own views on aging and how they might impact your work with older clients. To Prepare: · Review the Learning Resources on biological aspects of later adulthood and the aging process. Identify the biological changes that occur at this life stage. · Consider your thoughts and experiences related to the aging process and people who are in later adulthood. By 01/06/2021 Respond to two colleagues by describing additional ways in which their perspectives might impact work with older adults. Use the Learning Resources to support your posts. Make sure to provide APA citations and a reference list. Bottom of Form Required Readings Zastrow, C. H., Kirst-Ashman, K. K., & Hessenauer, S. L. (2019).

Chapter content will help prepare students to: LO 1 Define later adulthood. Later adulthood begins at around age 65. This grouping is an extremely diverse one, spanning an age range of more than 30 years. LO 2 Describe the physiological and mental changes that occur in later adulthood. Later adulthood is an age of recompense, a time when people reap the consequences of the kind of life they have lived. The process of aging affects dif-ferent persons at different rates. Nature appears to have a built-in mechanism that promotes aging, but it is not known what this mechanism is. LO 3 Understand contemporary theories on the causes of the aging process. Theories on the causes of aging can be grouped into three categories: genetic theories, nongenetic cellular theories, and physiological theories. Various factors accelerate the aging process: poor diet, overwork, alcohol or drug abuse, prolonged i ...

Introduction It is a general term for several factors that cause nervousness, fear, apprehension, and worrying. These factors affect how we feel and behave, and they can manifest real physical symptoms a serious mental health condition in which a person feels unsure about their future predicaments and unworthy of applying themselves in any given situation. Anxiety imposes itself not only on adults but it takes its toll on children and adolescents as well. Normally, parents want their children to be happy. Despite their best to provide and protect them, children still encounter disappointments, frustrations, or real heartbreak. The current study is an attempt to investigate anxiety and possible risk factors in adolescents in relation to psycho social well being in adolescents. Methodology A cross sectional survey research design was adopted in order to address the problem of anxiety symptoms, risk factors and psychosocial well being of adolescents in secondary schools. A total of 400 male and female emerging adults served as subjects in the study. Questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data. While qualitative data was collected with the use of focus group discussion and interview to buttress quantitative data collected with questionnaire. Chi square was used to analyze the quantitative data and a thematic content assessment was used to analyze qualitative data. Results The results revealed that anxiety is negatively correlated with various dimensions of psycho social well being and there exist a significant difference among male and female adolescents in context of anxiety. The impact of anxiety can accompany victims into adulthood, where they appear to be at greater risk of suicidal behaviours and other mental health problems. Again, findings reveal that the psychosocial well being of adolescents is significantly affected by anxiety symptom. Equally it was retained that loneliness, low self esteem and aggression has a significant negative effect on adolescent’s psychosocial well being. Furthermore, the findings from this present study show that the issue of anxiety and its risk factors are very common during adolescence even though it is considered to be less a problem. This implies that it is necessary to utilize the results of this study to implement programs or courses in psychology that will inform people about the early signs of adolescent risk factors and symptoms of anxiety. Implication Following the findings of this study and based on the study problem, it was discovered from the variables under study that a good proportion of adolescents in secondary schools are seen to portray some symptoms and risk factors for anxiety which has negatively affected their well being both socially and psychologically. It is hope that this study will be helpful in highlighting the undesirable nature of anxiety among adolescents.

Assignment 1: Victims’ Rights and the Dos and Don’ts of Interviewing Crime Victims You are a police investigator in Centervale. Recently, there have been complaints from prosecutors, as well as several victims, about the interview techniques used by law enforcement (both first responders and investigators). The prosecution is losing cases because of inadmissible statements made to law enforcement by victims and witnesses in response to improper questioning. Because of their bad experiences early in the investigations, some victims refuse to come to court and testify.

Assignment 1: The Problems of Evil and Suffering All human beings encounter pain and suffering in life. This can present some difficult questions to organized religions. On some level, all religions answer fundamental questions of human existence, including, "why are we here?" Pain and suffering complicate these basic questions of human existence, whether the religion is monotheistic, polytheistic, or atheistic. Some people endure much more pain and suffering than others. Why is this so? What is the origin of suffering? Is evil external or internal? Does it have any meaning? How should we respond to it? Even more difficult is the problem of moral evil: some people deliberately cause other people to suffer. Why? If there is meaning in the universe, and especially if the universe is ruled by a beneficent deity, how can this be? Write an essay of 1,000 words that examines the basic positions of each of the five religious traditions considering these human questions In your essay, address the following questions: How does each religion respond to the problems of evil and suffering? How are those responses similar? In what ways do the responses differ? What factors account for these differences? Which way of addressing evil is the most similar to your own? What role does reason play in your personal understanding of evil? How does that overlap or contradict with the major religions' uses of reason in explaining evil? Assignment 1 Grading Criteria Maximum Points Introduce how each of the five religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism) responds to or address the problems of evil and suffering. 68 Compare the five religions and identify commonalities or similarities between them in addressing both the problem of evil and the problem of suffering. 40 Compare the five religions and identify differences between the five religions and how they address the problem of evil and the problem of suffering. 40 Discuss the factors that account for these differences in how the five religions address the problem of evil and the problem of suffering. 40 Describe which way of addressing evil is the most similar to the student's personal belief system. What role does reason play in your personal understanding of evil? How does that overlap or contradict with the major religions' uses of reason in explaining evil? 48 Style (8 points): Tone, audience, and word choice Organization (16 points): Introduction, transitions, and conclusion Usage and Mechanics (16 points): Grammar, spelling, and sentence structure APA Elements (24 points): In-text citations and references, paraphrasing, and appropriate use of quotations and other elements of style 64 Total: 300 .

Assignment 1: the sociological viewpoint toward social problems (Due Week 2) Overview One of the most crucial components to this course concerns addressing social problems in society from a sociological viewpoint as opposed to a strictly policy-oriented, psychological, or criminal justice viewpoint. Although many different viewpoints in social science are valid and have a lot of importance, it is equally important for us to understand how sociology looks at the nature of social problems in society today. This paper will enable us to explore why certain social problems seem to be regarded as more significant than others. Our job will be in defining the sociological viewpoint, and choosing one social problem that we think is of high importance. We will build upon the topic we choose in this paper for our second and third writing assignments. Instructions Construct a 2-4 page paper that fully explores each of the following areas: 1) Citing our textbook material, explain how the sociological approach toward social problems differs from other approaches. Why are certain problems considered significant and others are not? 2) Next, choose one social problem that exists in society that you think is particularly serious, and explain it in sociological terms. This social problem should be measurable in some statistical way. (Is it increasing, and if so, how? Among which groups of people, and for how long, etc.?) 3) What might be one important way in which the social problem is currently being addressed in society? 4) Please define and identify at least four concepts from our text relevant to your chosen social problem. 5) Analyze the way in which these concepts help us better understand the nature of the social problem you are discussing. Don’t forget to include proper APA-style citation and reference. (Assignment One is worth 10% of the total grade.) .

Assignment 1: White-Collar Crime Victor and John work as software installers and program developers in the computer division of the Social Security Administration (SSA). SSA purchased software which was customarily installed by both Victor and John. SSA was licensed to make copies of the software for use by their employees during their employment, but not for resale to the public or for profit. Victor and John are also partners in a small computer business. Victor started using some SSA software in his business, without the knowledge or consent of SSA. He told John that he would use it only for testing and not for profit. However, the "testing" of the software generated profit for their business. John did not want to continue using the software without SSA consent. Victor believed the SSA would not grant permission and convinced John not to disclose their secret use of the software. Research business law in regard to software use using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet.

Assignment 1: Should the U.S. Convert to a Zero Personal Income Tax? In a recent news article located at http://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/heres-where-your-federal-income-tax-dollars-go-f654971 NBC News reported that the U.S. Government spends $3.6 trillion per year to fund Social Security, Medicare, homeland defense and safety, education, transportation, and the interest on debt obligations. In spite of the services and benefits that the government provides, many taxpayers dread paying income taxes but consider them a necessary evil.

Assignment 1: Political Belief Profile The relationship between public opinion and political participation raises many questions associated with how the public thinks, why they behave in the manner they do, and what outcomes in the form of ideological expressions will probably tak e place because of citizens’ behavior in the political scenario. Essentially, “who, what, and where” issues again surface in response to evaluation of political socialization. Political socialization may be expressed in a singular way, depending on the issue of concern, but it is not derived from any single impact throughout the life of American voters and nonvoters. Qualities and conditions such as gender, race, economic status, education, and religion impact voter behaviors. Indeed, whether or not an individual votes, or takes part in any of the varied available options for participation, is closely allied with the political socialization of individuals and even entire socioeconomic groups. The Political Compass Web site ( http://www.politicalcompass.org ) offers a self-test that helps you analyze your personal political views on what the test authors call a “left–right” scale. Take the test and review your results to see where you stand on the economic scale and the social scale. Discuss the results using the following questions: Did your “test result” match what you thought were your political beliefs? What is “politically correct” thinking? Give examples of what might be considered “politically correct” and “politically incorrect.” To what degree do you think your values and beliefs represent the norms, values, and traditions of society? Define your answer using the following Likert scale—extremely common, common, moderately common, uncommon, and extremely uncommon. Write your response in 150–200 words. By Saturday, March 5, 2016 , post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area . Through Wednesday, March 9, 2016 , review and comment on at least three peers’ responses. .
