How can you use the knowledge gained in the course to advance social change within your immediate context of work, leisure, family, or broader society?

Discussion: Looking Back and Looking Forward

In Week 1 of the course, you selected two topics that you hoped to explore further during the course. Language and cognitive development are broad fields with many theoretical perspectives, research areas, and applications. Did any new avenues of learning or professional interest open for you during the course? Reflect on these, as well as past and current research you explored during the course.

Research does not exist for its own sake; it exists to inform practice and provide the foundation for application. Whatever your role or future role in developmental psychology—whether in education, direct service provision, policy, programming, or other area—you will need to ground your work empirically and apply scholarship to its practice. For this Discussion, you consider how you could use specific knowledge from the course related to language and cognition to advance social change related to some aspect of your life.

To prepare:

· Consider how the topics you explored throughout the course might influence your future as a psychology professional. How can you use the knowledge gained in this course to advance social change within your immediate context of work, leisure, family, or broader society?

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4

Post an explanation of two topics from the course you would like to continue exploring professionally. Then, explain how you could use this knowledge to advance social change within your profession, community, or society.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. Use proper APA format and citations.

Scholarly Change

A Curriculum Designed to Foster the Application of Knowledge to Positive Social Change
A core commitment that Walden makes as we develop and improve our curriculum is ensuring that our students can apply new skills, expand their networks, gain deeper knowledge, and consider a variety of perspectives in order to better address practical problems at an individual level as well as within their organizations, communities, and society at large.

Working collaboratively, college leadership, faculty members, and curricula developers continually evaluate Walden’s programs to assess the effectiveness of our curriculum in helping our students effect positive social change. In our annual Review of Social Change at Walden University (summary), we document some of the more important changes to our curriculum that support social change initiatives.

Other Resources That Help Inform Perspectives on Social Change
Through ScholarWorks, Walden makes the scholarly and creative output of the Walden University community publicly available, in order to generate, conserve, and transform knowledge by making connections among and between ideas to improve human and social conditions. Browse our collection of social change publications that exemplify Walden’s mission by exploring issues that impact communities.

The Journal of Social Change, sponsored by Walden University, welcomes manuscripts from the Walden community and the public that focus on interdisciplinary research in social change that seeks to improve the human condition and moves people, groups, organizations, cultures, and society toward a more positive future.

Walden commissioned the Social Change Impact Report to discover the current state of social change around the world, assess the impact of social change, and learn more about the individuals who are creating and applying ideas. The report also identifies individual beliefs about social change, the issues that those surveyed care about, the motivations behind their engagement, the actions they are taking to further social change, and the tools they use. Discover what kind of social change agent you are by taking Walden’s quiz based on this research.

Applied Change

Walden’s annual Global Days of Service is an opportunity for the Walden community to make an impact in neighborhoods around the world and advance the university’s mission of positive social change. Members of the Walden community generously donate their time and expertise to serve their neighbors in need, as they experience firsthand the impact they can make in the lives of others. Students, alumni, faculty, and staff contribute to community projects serving schools, food banks, community centers, and much more.

The annual Scholars of Change video contest allows our students and graduates to share their stories demonstrating how a Walden degree is helping them make a positive difference in their lives and the lives of those in their communities. The winners’ inspirational videos underscore our social change mission and show how the Walden community is helping to advance the greater good.

Designed to expand learning beyond the classroom, Walden’s study abroad and international public service programs allow students to gain a better understanding of their own culture while being immersed in another, resulting in a greater tolerance for difference, better understanding of the role stereotyping plays, and a deepened appreciation for one’s own academic and career goals. Students generally volunteer 20–30 hours on public service trips.

Inspiring Change

Throughout students’ journeys at Walden, they are provided various opportunities to hear directly from distinguished scholars, journalists, social scientists, and change-makers who share with students their diverse global views. See the list of speakers from 2007 to present.

explain how you might apply a systems perspective to social work practice.

/in /by

Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman (2016) stated, “Clients are affected by and in constant dynamic interactions with other systems, including families, groups, organizations, and communities” (p. 35-36). As a social worker, when you address the needs of an individual client, you also take into account the systems with which the client interacts. Obtaining information about these systems helps you better assess your client’s situation. These systems may provide support to the client, or they may contribute to the client’s presenting problem.

For this Discussion, review “Working With People With Disabilities: The Case of Lester.”Consider the systems with which Lester Johnson, the client, interacts. Think about ways you might apply a systems perspective to his case. Also, consider the significance of the systems perspective for social work in general.

By Day 3

Post a Discussion in which you explain how multiple systems interact to impact individuals. Explain how you, as a social worker, might apply a systems perspective to your work with Lester Johnson. Finally, explain how you might apply a systems perspective to social work practice.

Which type of justice is most useful based on the psychological theories of crime?

Assignment 1: Society’s Response to Crime

Society’s response to crime has changed over the past century. The approach of rehabilitation in the 1960s has gradually been replaced with a “get tough on crime” approach, bringing in mandatory sentencing laws and long prison sentences. Regardless of the approach, crime continues to be a problem, and recidivism for some crimes and some offenders remains high. In this assignment, you will explore society’s response to crime and different concepts of justice.

Read the following article from the Argosy University online library:

  • Tyler, T. R. (2006). Restorative justice and procedural justice: Dealing with rule breaking. Journal of Social Issues, 62(2), 307–326. DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-4560.2006.00452.x (EBSCO AN 20779250)
    http://libproxy.edmc.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx? direct=true&db=pbh&AN=20779250&site=ehost-live

Research the ideas of justice using the textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet.

Based on your research and the discussions so far, analyze the usefulness of the ideas of justice in lowering recidivism. Address the following:

  • Is restorative justice useful in lowering the rate of recidivism? For which types of crimes and offenders is it most useful? Make sure to include any demographic information that may be useful in defending this type of “justice.”
  • Is procedural or moral justice more applicable for this aim? For which types of crimes and offenders is it most useful? Make sure to include any demographic information that may defend one or the other.
  • Which type of justice is most useful based on the psychological theories of crime? For which types of crimes and offenders is it most useful?

Make sure your essay includes the following:

  • A title page with a running head
  • Headings
  • A reference page

Write a 5–7-page essay in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M5_A1.doc.

Introduction

When people think about treatment for depression, mood disorders, anxiety, and psychosis, they most often think about therapy or medication as options. However, there are several other options, many of which are quite controversial such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), magnetic therapy, and Ketamine. The research on these treatments is mixed, but many believe that they hold promise in the treatment of severe and persistent mental illness that has remained unchanged with more traditional treatment.

Initial Post Instructions

After reading/watching the resources for this week’s discussion, answer the following questions.

Many people tend to think of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) as a barbaric, outdated treatment for mental illness, although some research and personal accounts tout its success. After reading the research on ECT and watching the YouTube videos about Jenny’s experience with ECT, what is your opinion about ECT in the treatment of depression and other mental health disorders?

What do you think about the use of other possible treatments such as Ketamine or magnetic therapy?

In general, what is your opinion on medication vs. therapy for the treatment of mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders? Should therapy always be the first option before trying medication? What about less invasive holistic therapies such as modifications to one’s diet, meditation, or intentional exercise?

Make sure to cite at least one of the resources listed in this activity in your initial post.

Do you think these restaurants should be held accountable for offering food that is inherently unhealthy?

/in /by

Given that fast food and chain restaurants sell food items that single-handedly can exceed the recommended daily intake of fat, calories, sodium, and cholesterol, some individuals who have developed ailments as a result of consuming such food have recently begun to pursue litigation against these fast food and chain restaurants for intentionally selling foods they know are unhealthy. The chains have largely countered these lawsuits with the notion that their foods should be consumed in a limited quantity and coupled with regular exercise and other healthy behaviors. Do you think these restaurants should be held accountable for offering food that is inherently unhealthy? Or should Americans be held responsible for our behavior of continuing to consume it and more often than recommended?

Analyze the ethical responsibilities researchers have to maintain intellectual honesty and integrity.

/in /by

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

Competency 3: Evaluate ethical issues in research studies.

Analyze the ethical responsibilities researchers have to the public and to their discipline as it relates to human participants.

Analyze the ethical responsibilities researchers have to maintain intellectual honesty and integrity.

Evaluate the implications of the study if the researcher had not maintained ethical standards.

Competency 6: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of the identified field of study.

Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of the identified field of study.

Complete a 6–8-page analysis in which you discuss and evaluate the possible ethical considerations found in the research articles you studied in Assessment 1.

Consider the following real news headlines of recent years:

“Case of Two KU Scientists Illustrates Growing Problem of Research Fraud.”

“Ben Carson Issues Apology for Plagiarism in His Book.”

“Plagiarism Costs Degree for Senator John Walsh.”

“Fraud Case Seen as a Red Flag for Psychology Research.”

“Decades Later, Condemnation for a Skid Row Cancer Study.”

“CNN Suspends Fareed Zakaria for Alleged Plagiarism.”

“Study Linking Vaccine to Autism Is Called Fraud.”

“German Education Minister Quits Over PhD Plagiarism.”

“Harvard Finds Scientist Guilty of Misconduct.”

“Horrific Medical Tests of Past Raise Concerns for Today.”

SHOW LESS

The list could go on and on with instances of ethical violations in research and academics from decades past. Ethics in academic and scientific writing, the ethical treatment of research participants, and research misconduct are not limited to graduate students or any particular field of study. If anything, the above list represents that unethical behavior has no boundaries and may be more complex than it seems on the surface.

We might consider the thought that if ethical decisions and behavior were obvious and easy, there would not be such a large number of known violations. Still, it is your sole responsibility to understand and perform the ethical behavior that is required of you as a learner and professional. Conducting your research in an ethical and responsible manner is a hallmark of good research.

Preparation

Use two of the research articles you found in Assessment 1. Contemporary published research articles seldom have looming ethical concerns; however, all researchers are solely responsible for their ethical conduct. This not only includes the ethical treatment of participants but also ethics in being truthful about all research procedures and reporting the findings. Reread two of the articles from Assessment 1; pay special attention to the ethical concerns the researchers had to consider when carrying out the study.

Using the Capella University Library resources, find and read at least four articles regarding ethics in research.

Instructions

In 6–8 pages, write an analysis in which you complete the following:

Begin your paper with an introduction, Explain the purpose of the paper and its contents.

Start with a general discussion of important ethical concerns of conducting research using human participants.

Make sure to touch on the ethical treatment of participants and the importance of other ethical behavior required of researchers.

Using your research articles from Assessment 1, identify and analyze the ethical considerations the researchers would have had while planning, conducting, and presenting their research.

Note that you are not being asked to find ethical violations but, rather, to identify the aspects of the research where the researchers would have had to exercise ethical behavior, such as in the sampling procedure.

Discuss what might have happened if the researchers had not been ethical.

Discuss ethical issues you encounter in your professional life or psychology specialization and how those can be avoided or handled.

End your paper with a summary and conclusion.

Additional Requirements

As much as possible, the assessment should be written in your own words; it may include paraphrased information that is properly cited in the current APA style.

If you need to quote, do so sparingly, and make sure you have cited quoted material according to the current APA style.

Your assessment needs to demonstrate your understanding of the material, not how well you can quote someone else’s work.

Write in a professional tone, without writing errors.

Include a title page and references page, using the current APA style.

Write 6–8 pages with 1-inch margins, plus a title page and references page. An abstract is not required.

Include at least 4 current scholarly or professional resources.

Use APA-style headings to organize your paper.

Use Times New Roman font, 12 point.

Double space.
