Q5 mika

Most employers tout being an “Equal Opportunity Employer.” In America, we promote both multiculturalism and diversity, but may not fully understand the differences. While multiculturalism may be great when thinking about cuisine and festivals, present an argument that some cultural practices should not be embraced for America to maintain its identity. Also, does it not make more sense to recognize diversity and promote a “fair” opportunity rather than an equal one?

Q6

why be moral? In the long run, does it matter how you justify your actions if you are “following the rules”?

Finally, considering just the theories you encountered in the week 1 Reading & Resources (*Kantian Deontology, Utilitarianism, and Virtue), which seems more compatible with your disposition? Be sure to provide detailed answers.

Q7

In Week 3, we used crosstabs to determine if a potential relationship between two variables is worth examining further. During Week 4, we studied tests of significance. In this week’s discussion, students will apply these tests of significance to their project variables. As we discussed previously, the level of measurement of our variables determine which test of significance works for the research project. Disinformation Campaign

Complete the following steps:

  1. Post a brief explanation of your topic. Include your research question. Next, begin your 5 steps of hypothesis testing by stating your research and null hypotheses. State your alpha level is .05.
  2. Run a test of significance on your variables (based on the level of measurement).  Copy and paste the appropriate table into the window.
  3. Identify the two-tailed p value and explain your findings. Is p<alpha? Do you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Does your IV affect your DV?

As a reminder, here is the guideline for tests of significance:

  1. IV and DV are BOTH categorical variables (nominal/ordinal): Chi-square
  2. IV and DV are both interval/ratio variables: Regression
  3. IV is categorical (nominal/ordinal) and DV is interval/ratio:
  4. IV has 2 values/groups: Independent Sample T-test
  5. IV has 3 or more values/groups: ANOVA

Why do we need to run tests of significance?

  1. They allow us to see if our relationship is “statistically significant.” To be more specific, these tests tell us if a relationship observed in a sample, like our research project based on GSS 2018 data set, is generalizable to the population from which this sample was drawn (US adults).
  2. Test results reported under “p” in the SPSS output tell us the probability or likelihood that a relationship observed in the sample is not real, but rather due to factors like a sampling error or chance. We compare this “chance” with alpha (level of significance), commonly set as .05 or .01. If this chance is smaller than level of significance (p<alpha), we can reject the null hypothesis, and keep the research hypothesis. The smaller the p, the lower the possibility for error.

Q8

What is the nature and scope of the alcohol and/or drug abuse problem in the United States today? For example, is this problem more significant today than it was in the past? Include current data (no more than 36 months old) and the reference to support whether rates have decreased or increased over time.

 

Q9

  1. As children transition into the stage of adulthood, discuss what it means to be an adult?
  2. Explain how work for the parent impacts the relationship within the family? How do parents balance the responsibility of work and home? Support your writing with facts and information.  Your post cannot be solely opinion.

Q10

Now that you are most of the way through this course on foodsafety, list something that you used to believe regarding foodsafety that you learned was actually a myth. Include a link to a valid source that dispels this myth. Or, if you cannot come up with an example, comment on a foodsafety violation that you think is fairly common and can cause illness. Include a link to a valid source that supports the fact this is a violation of food safety.Disinformation Campaign

Q16

  • What does Intelligence Interrogation mean to you?

    2) How would you describe the impact of US interrogation policy on international terrorism?

Q17

Part 2: The best way to learn statistics is to do statistics. At one point, most of us have needed to purchase a vehicle. At the very least, it’s fun to look at them! Go to the Kelley Blue Book website or any other vehicle website and choose 10 different vehicles. These can be ones you would consider buying or even your total dream car. Record the following information in a blank Excel file.

Save your Excel, for future discussions, and then upload the Excel as an attachment in your intro. discussion for review.

Vehicle type/class Year Make Model Price    MPG (city)     MPG (highway)
Example:            
SUV    2018   Subaru      Forester       $22,795 23 29

Explain the type(s) of vehicles you chose and provide a brief rationale for your choice. For each column category, state whether the variable is qualitative or quantitative. Last, add a new column with a variable of your choice and state whether it is qualitative or quantitative. You might consider engine size, number of cylinders, vehicle weight, or drive type.

Once you have posted your initial discussion, you must reply to at least two other learner’s post. Each post must be a different topic. So, you will have your initial post from one topic, your first follow-up post from a different topic, and your second follow-up post from one of the other topics. Of course, you are more than welcome to respond to more than two learners.”

 

Q18

Summarize the complexities faced by law enforcement personnel when seeking assistance for stress-related issues.  There are many complexities but consider personnel equity and diversity in providing assistance to gender, race, age, rank, duties, and other related matters.

Q19

One administrative role that’s rarely discussed is that of the court administrator. A court administrator manages the daily operations of a federal, state, or local courthouse. Standard job duties include, but are not limited to, acting as the court liaison, managing the court’s budget, and having oversight over most court employees.

What role does the court administrator serve in keeping the court calendar from being bottlenecked? In other words, how do court administrators keep the daily court docket flowing without overwhelming the judges and without violating the rights of the accused?

Psychology  and Religion

Chapter 7:  Psychology has a complicated, intertwined relationship with religion.  A classic example of this complicated relationship was William James, who like many prominent Victorian-era intellectuals, got caught up in the Spiritualism movement.  For some reason, both Old England and New England were hotbeds of this movement.  Remnants of it still exist in New York state – particularly in Lily Dale (because it was the home of the Fox Sisters).  Now that I’ve given you all that info, find and analyze a nice history of the spiritualism movement in the U.S. Psychology  and Religion

 

Psychology  and Religion

OK, given that some of you are still struggling with the term ‘analyze’, let me be more specific.  You might want to address:  What is the context?  What was going on in the world (U.S.) that made so many people rush to embrace spiritualism?  Why do you think so many highly intelligent and prominent people, like James or Arthur Conan-Doyle, became Spiritualists?  What do you think the short-term/long-term, results were of the ‘spokesperson’ for Psychology jumping into Spiritualism? These are examples of what I mean by ‘analysis’ or ‘critical thinking.’  Just think about the topic and examine it in an informed discussion. Psychology  and Religion

Chapter 8: G. Stanley Hall really started something.  A surprisingly large number of psychologists work in various facets of education.  Not just teaching, but also developing various tests, giving diagnostic tests, developing ways to measure effective teaching and effective learning, etc.  Find a URL concerning the modern contributions of psychologists to education.  Think about this like you did psychologists and the computer folks in the earlier assignment.  Keep in mind that educational psychologists and school psychologists overlap but are not quite the same thing.  Psychology  and Religion

To be specific, look at my feedback about artificial intelligence.  What does this psychology/education relationship mean?  How has it affected psychology?  Is it a good thing? Bad thing?  Are there elements of both?  What about the future?  Again, THINK analysis.  Hope this helps.
