“Here is your assignment: go to YouTube.com and find a political speech (or political advertisement that includes a lot of language, rather than just images).
Now, apply what you have learned this semester about how language can influence thought to analyze the speech/ad. In your response, try to address the following questions:
Please provide a link to your video!
Who is the speaker? What is the context of the speech (e.g., where and when was the speech delivered, what was their goal or purpose in giving the speech, who was the audience, etc.)
How are they trying to use language to achieve their goals (e.g., to persuade people to vote for them or support their cause or feel a certain way about the country or a piece of legislation or their opponent…)?
In particular, you should thoroughly discuss the subtle uses of language and rhetoric in the video; for example, you could assess what metaphors are they using, or what grammatical constructions they are using, what labels or key words they use, and any other aspect of the language you think matters. In the end, you can evaluate whether you think the speech is effective or not (and why), or effective for certain audiences and not others (and why).”

The stage of adolescence opens up a whole new world of future possibilities, adventures, and challenges. For most teens, the transition into puberty, coupled with a lack of independence produces a confusing mix of intense emotions. Teens begin to imagine the life they want for themselves and form beliefs about how to get there. Some teens use this time to find their identities, make friends, and plan for the future. Others struggle with feeling overwhelmed, depressed or apathetic, making them vulnerable to addictions and other self-destructive or antisocial behaviors.
Given what you’ve learned about the process of puberty, adolescent cognition and brain growth, the importance of peers, media, and other environmental influences,
Discuss how some of these factors might affect aspects of adolescent identity. Be sure to include examples. You response should be at least 250 words.

EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS
Overview
The highest level of scientific investigation demonstrated in the FBA is the experimental analysis. The experimental analysis exemplifies the rigor of control as the practitioner manipulates environmental variables to evoke and abate the problem behavior. The consistent control of evoking and abating the target behavior demonstrates the functional relationship between environmental variable(s) and the target behavior(s).
For this assignment, select an experimental analysis of problem behaviors such as the Iwata’s full functional analysis (FA), brief FA, latency-based FA, trial-based FA, precursor FA, or the IISCA. Provide the benefits and limitations of the selected experimental analysis. Describe the conditions of your experiment to test the hypothesized function(s) or contingencies influencing the behaviors of concern. Provide hypothetical data and a visual display (graph). Be sure to incorporate values of compassion and cultural humility when selecting and conducting the experimental analysis. You can refer to the Capella Compassion Code [DOCX] for more details.
Part 1: Select the Experimental Analysis
Select the experimental analysis to be conducted for your functional behavior assessment. Provide the benefits and limitations of the selected experimental analysis. Provide a rationale for why you have chosen this method for the person or character you chose in your first assignment. Please include in your rationale how you considered compassionate approaches when selecting your experimental analysis.
Part 2: Describe the Experimental Analysis
Describe the conditions and procedures of your experimental analysis. Be sure to program for the appropriate establishing operations as suspected from the descriiptive assessment. Please include in your rationale how you considered compassionate approaches when conducting your experimental analysis.
Part 3: Display Hypothetical Data and Interpret Results
For ethical reasons, DO NOT conduct an actual experimental analysis of behavior for this assignment. Instead, generate hypothetical data to show outcomes you might expect if you were to conduct the experimental analysis. Present the hypothetical data and result of the experimental analysis in a visual display. Be sure to use an appropriate graph to display the data, demonstrating experimental control. Interpret the results.
Part 4: Conclude the Experimental Analysis
Conclude the results of the experimental analysis by providing a confirmation of the functional control between environmental variables and problem behaviors. In other words, confirm the function(s) influencing problem behaviors. For the IISCA, confirm the functional control between the synthesized contingencies and problem behaviors.
Additional Requirements
Your assignment should meet the following requirements:
Written communication: Should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA formatting: References and citations are formatted according to current APA style guidelines. Review Evidence and APA for more information on how to cite your sources.
Resources: A sufficient number of scholarly or professional resources.

Your reading describes several transitions and life events that can occur during middle adulthood. While many of those in middle adulthood thrive, that is not always the case, as evidenced by the occurrence of midlife crises.
Create a presentation (using PowerPoint or your favorite slideshow tool) in which you address the following:
Identify and describe three challenges typically faced in middle adulthood (make sure to cite sources) – minimum 3 slides.
Identify and describe three recommendations for how to overcome those challenges (make sure to cite sources) – minimum 3 slides.
Offer two detailed suggestions for how to thrive in middle adulthood (make sure to cite sources) – minimum 2 slides.
You must cite your unit reading and/or outside sources to support your statements. I’m not looking for opinions here. You must support your statements and suggestions with cited sources. Include a reference slide at the end, with your references in APA format, and use in-text citations on your slides.
Keep in mind that I’m also not looking for you to copy and paste information from the reading/websites and stick it into your slides. You can use a direct quote if you feel you need to, but it must have quotation marks around it to indicate that it is a direct quote. Everything else will need to be in your own words (paraphrase), followed by an in-text citation to indicate where the information came from. I want to see your writing, not what you’ve copied and pasted from other writers. Review the Purdue OWL’s helpful guide on paraphrasing. At least 80% of your assignment needs to be in your own words.
Make sure that you give each slide a title so it is clear which slides are focused on challenges and which slides are focused on recommendations and suggestions. Be sure to include images or graphics to make your slides visually appealing.

Create a 12-slide power point presentation with detailed speaker notes.
Think of all the cultural influences that may have impinged on you or someone you know. Some examples include the ethnic group, religion, the areas or countries lived in, gender, schools, the schools’ ideology, or peers and their backgrounds. Describe the major cultural influences on your life or someone else’s life. Explain the impact of cultural influences and the way of being (make sure you don’t focus on individual influences). Describe what would have been different without some of the cultural influences. Apply Erikson’s psychosocial theory.
Include introduction and reference slides.

School Counselors must abide by the ASCA Ethical Standards and ACA Code of Ethics, the laws and regulations of their state in which they practice, and federal laws. Understanding and knowing these standards, laws, and regulations are imperative to a counselor’s practice standards. This assignment helps you become familiar with the ethical decision-making model, ASCA Ethical Standards/ACA Code of Ethics, state laws, regulations, and federal laws. You will learn how to apply both ethical standards and laws to common ethical scenarios. INSTRUCTIONS
Your paper must be in current APA format (title page, abstract, introduction, conclusion, reference page, etc.). The body of your paper must be 3-5 pages and your paper must include at least 4 scholarly references published within the last 5 years. Citations for the ASCA Ethical Standards, ACA Code of Ethics and your state code of ethics must be included and count towards the 4 required scholarly references. Note that the title page and reference page do not count toward the required page length. Your paper must be well-thought-out and demonstrate critical thinking. Also, all references must be from professional sources (professional academic journals and professional texts; no informal websites; no materials from courses within the degree program).
Step 1: Choose one watch item (A Helpful Receptionist or Can You be Liable) from the assigned module to complete this assignment. Step 2: Now that the scenario presented has happened to you, read the Practitioner’s Guide to Ethical Decision-Making. Read each step carefully. For this assignment, pay specific attention to steps 1-4 of the ethical decision-making model as this will become the headings for your paper as outlined in step 4 below. Step into the shoes of the counselor (as though you are the counselor in the scenario you watched). Step 3: Read, the remaining assignment instructions in its entirety. Then, watch the selected watch item again while taking copious notes to identify the problem. Step 4: Divide your paper into the following required headings and answer the questions below in 1st person: Identify the problem
 Clearly state the facts of the scenario. Do not provide innuendos, assumptions, hypotheses, or suspicions.  Correctly and clearly identify the problem(s) in the scenario.  Answer the questions: “Is this problem an ethical, legal, professional, clinical, or technology problem? Is it a combination of more than one of these?
Page 2 of 3
Apply the ASCA Ethical Standards and ACA Code of Ethics
 Identify two to three applicable standards from the ASCA Ethical Standards and ACA Code of Ethics. Which standards apply, or can address, the problem(s) presented in the scenario?  Make sure to cite the standard numbers and state how the standards apply to the scenario. Applicable State Codes/Laws and Federal Mental Health Laws
 Which ethical codes from your state licensure laws, rules, or practice act apply to this scenario?  Correctly and clearly identify any Federal Mental Health Laws that apply to this scenario.  Make sure to include the code number(s) and state how the code(s) apply to the scenario. Determine the Nature and Dimensions of the Dilemma
 Identify which ACA moral principle(s) apply to this scenario. Autonomy, beneficence, justice, nonmaleficence, fidelity, and/or veracity? How do the identified principle(s) apply to the scenario?
 If more than one applies, determine which one is priority based on the problem identified in the scenario.  Review relevant professional literature from professional, refereed journals, related to the identified problem and moral principle to find the most recent professional thinking regarding the ethical dilemma. Materials must be outside of your textbooks, course materials, and materials from other classes. You need at least 2 journal articles published in the last 5 years.  Provide two experienced professional counselors (supervisors, peers, etc.) who also abide by the ASCA Ethical Standards and ACA Code of Ethics and two state and/or national professional counseling organizations you will consult to help you with the dilemma.
Generate Potential course of action
 Brainstorm 3-4 potential courses of action to explain how you would address or resolve the problem. Make sure this section is written in 1st person and fixes the problem. You are not preventing the problem.  For each potential action item, provide evidence from the literature to support your decision. Do not state you will work through the ethical decision-making model as this is the ethical decision-making model. You need at least 2 scholarly journal articles published in the last 5 years. https://www.schoolcounselor.org/Magazines/November-December-2007/Solutions-to-Ethical-Problems-in-Schools

Scenario 1
John is a counseling intern working for a high school in his local area. John has been interning with the high school 7 months. He is particularly involved in co-leading two after school small groups and has gotten to know many of the students well. One evening, while checking his email, he notices a friend request for his personal social media account. John recognizes the email as originating from Ben, one of the seniors in his group. John has enjoyed his interactions with Ben, so he grants Ben his request. A few days later, Jeanne, another student from the high school, emails John with her request to befriend John via social media. John does is not as fond of Jeanne because she is often argumentative in group. John decides to deny the request, explaining to Jeanne he does not befriend female students. Scenario 2
A fourteen-year-old middle school student reports to you that Sarah, a counselee of your colleague Mr. Barnes, is involved in Satanism and has entered a murder-suicide pact with another student. You and Mr. Barnes call Sarah in and she vehemently denies the allegations and even scoffs at the idea that she would ever be involved in a cult. You follow up with the other student and she denies the allegations as well. Scenario 3
Robin is a school counselor in a rural area in her state. In fact she is the only elementary school counselor in her entire county. Because she lives in a small town rural area she knows many of the parents of her students. She attends church with two parents and often sees another parent each weekend at the local grocery store. One Sunday, one of the parents approaches her and informs her that she is planning to divorce her husband. The parent shares that her husband has been distant from her and that their oldest daughter, a 9 year old, is deathly afraid to be alone with him. She does not share any additional information, but asks Robin to ensure that he does not pick the student up from school nor allow him access to her student records.

The goal of the final project is to identify an area within psychology and law that you believe needs further exploration/changed/improved to have a meaningful impact on society and the justice system. The final project should serve as an op-ed of sorts, either arguing for why a particular issue should be further explored or it should provide practical interventions that can be implemented in society.

The overall format is not strict and you can be as creative as you want! You can write a research proposal, create an infographic, a presentation, a brochure, so long as it follows APA citation style and proper spelling/grammar.

Ultimately, whatever format you decide should either be used to launch a new area of research or could be general information that is shared with the general public, law enforcement agencies, judicial system, etc., like a public service announcement.

Here are some general guidelines:
Research proposal/op-ed format: must be 3-5 pages, in APA format, must clearly identify the topic, provide a summary of the issue, state recommendations or topic of research proposal, and include references
Presentation/brochure/infographic: must be 2-3 pages, must clearly identify the topic, provide a summary of the issue, and list recommendations or interventions, must submit APA format references
TikTok other video format: must be 2-3 minutes, must clearly identify the topic, provide a summary of the issue, and list recommendations or interventions, must submit APA format references

Assignment will be graded as follows:
4 points: Clearly falls within the scope of psychology and law
5 points: Clearly states the topic being covered, addressing the current issue or need for further research
5 points: Provides a succinct summary of the issue, historical relevancy, and/or what is known of the issue
5 points: Provide a brief summary of current practices or policies
5 points: Provides clear recommendations or interventions to eliminate or alleviate the issue, or the goal of the proposed research project
3 points: All sources are provided in APA format
3 points: Uses proper grammar and punctuation

In this assignment, you will apply the MEAL Plan to write your paragraphs.x
The MEAL plan is a writing tool used to structure strong, concise, and coherent paragraphs. MEAL is an acronym that represents the key parts of a paragraph.
Main idea: Topic sentence.
Your main should be presented in the first sentence of your paragraph.
This tells your reader what that paragraph is about.
Evidence: Information that supports your topic sentence.
Your evidence should relate to your main idea.
You will gather evidence from your sources and present the evidence in your paragraph.
Analysis: Analysis of your evidence.
Your analysis tells your readers why the evidence matters.
If you are including evidence from multiple sources, tell your readers how those sources relate to one another.
Your evidence and analysis sections will often overlap and intermingle.
Linking Information: Connection to larger purpose or link to the next paragraph.
Linking information can serve several purposes.
It can
transition to the next paragraph.
relate the paragraph text to the larger purpose of a paper.
or ensure all loose ends related to the paragraph’s main idea have been wrapped up.
Instructions
For your selected school of thought, answer each of the questions in paragraph format using the MEAL Plan as a guide. Write a total of three paragraphs.
What was happening in the world that may have contributed to an emerging school of thought in human behavior, or aligned with its principles and values?
How did the emerging school of thought in human behavior fit with people’s way of viewing the world and their own culture during that time in history?
Did this new school of thought in human behavior modify society in any way?
Additional Requirements
Length: Three paragraphs.
References: At least 3 references to this week’s readings.
Formatting: Double-spaced lines following APA style and gormat; a title page, abstract, page numbers, or running head are not required. See Evidence and APA for information about APA.
