Questions on Simple Present and Present Progressive

It is time to test each other!

In this Discussion, you are going to come up with questions about using the simple present and/or the present progressive tense. You will answer at least one question from your classmates as well as suggest a question of your own. Here is how it will work:

First entry–ask a question . . .

Before Thursday you must post a question about these tenses to this Discussion (make sure you know the correct answer!)

Example: How do you change, “Kim plants a bean in the garden,” to present progressive?

or

How can you make, “Ana asks Wendell to water the bean,” a question?

Second entry–answer a question . . .

On Thursday or after, you must answer one or more of your classmates’ questions!

Example: Kim plants a bean in the garden “Kim is planting a bean in the garden.”

Ana asks Wendell to water the bean “Why does Ana ask Wendell to water the bean?”

You may write more than one question.

1. Let’s look at Courbet’s Stonebreakers. Consider the following statement with regard to the painting: “Courbet’s Stonebreakers scandalised the Salon-goers of 1850. Inspired by the ‘complete expression of human misery’ in an encounter with an old road worker in tattered clothes and his young assistant, Courbet asked them to pose for him in his studio. Painting the road workers life size on a large canvas, Courbet showed them absorbed in their task, faceless and anonymous, dulled by the relentless, numbingly repetitive task of breaking stone to build a road. Unflaggingly honest, Courbet, much like Caravaggio in the seventeenth century, violated rules of artistic propriety by setting every detail his lowborn workers’ wretched state before the viewer.”

2. This painting seems to have some mystery attached to it. Here we see what looks like a woman being dressed for a happy occasion but upon further inspection it was revealed that it was originally nothing of the sort.  Read this article and look closely at the details of the central figure.

Additional questions to consider:

Do you think this painting was changed by someone other than the artist? If so, should art restorers try to “fix” it? 

Please explain why you think the changes were made.

Does one have the right to change a work of art because they own it?

Should the work still be considered a Courbet?

Does the change affect the value of the work

Dressing the Dead Girl, 1850’s by Gustave Courbet

3. How does Courbet’s Stonebreakers compare to this work of Realism from the 1850s. Let’s look at Millet’s Woman with a Rake in comparison.

Woman with a Rake, probably 1856–57
Jean–François Millet (French, 1814–1875)
Oil on canvas; 15 5/8 x 13 1/2 in. (39.7 x 34.3 cm)
Signed (lower right): J.F. Millet
Gift of Stephen C. Clark, 1938 (38.75)

Born
or Made That Way? Jason Case Study

In this assignment, you will be using the
DSM-5 (link given in the resources), which provides descriptions of
psychiatric conditions, including criteria for determining whether a condition
exists and treatment recommendations, as well as other details.

http://dsm.psychiatryonline.org.library.capella.edu/doi/book/10.1176/appi.books.9780890425596

Note:
You may review the document Accessing the DSM-5 and the Mental Measurement
Yearbook (given in the resources) to understand how to access the DSM-5
in the Capella library.

For this assignment, you will review the
media Jason’s Case Study as a focus, as you start to develop you own premises
of how you would explain criminal behavior.

https://media.capella.edu/CourseMedia/PSYC3130/Jason-CaseStudy/media.asp

Instructions

After reviewing the media Jason’s Case
Study, access the DSM-5 and read about the following:

· 
Affective
disorder. For example, depressive and bipolar
disorders. Is Jason’s difficulty self-regulating, a biological condition, or a
learned behavior?

· 
Substance abuse. For example, is Jason’s drug use indicative of a disease
model or is it socially influenced?

· 
Anxiety. For example, is Jason dealing with a neurochemical or
hormonal imbalance, or is it a learned behavior or a behavior modification, or
is there some secondary gain for Jason?

· 
Psychotic
disorders. For example, does Jason experience
thought distortion or difficulty with reality testing?

In
your paper:

· 
Analyze the case study in terms of the
psychology described in the DSM-5. Note: Choose only one of
the disorders listed that you think is most closely related to Jason’s
case. Through
your analysis of Jason’s case study and your reading in the DSM-5,
describe how he meets the criteria of the disorder you have chosen. Remember, a
disorder is based on time, duration, intensity, and the degree to which it
interferes with everyday functioning (social, interpersonal, work, and patterns
in relationships) and not just the observable behavior.

· 
Determine
social factors (for example, parenting styles, rejection by loved ones, lack of
limits, et cetera) that impact Jason’s behavior (for example, his bullying,
lying, and drug use).

· 
Describe
what you have found in the case that is relevant for a court case for either
the defense or the prosecution. Without considering establishing competency or
sanity, reflect on the implications of what you have seen in the DSM-5 and
the case study in terms of criminal justice for Jason.

Other Requirements

· 
APA formatting:. 3-4 typed, double-spaced pages, not
including the title page or the references page.

References: A minimum of
three references.

Homeland Security and International Relation

1.You will select a current international event and, using the comparative analysis technique, you will develop a series of possible outcomes related to international homeland security and specifically to US homeland security. You will prepare a six- to eight-page paper using the format specified in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.). The paper will outline the event, issues, and potential outcomes. Comparative analysis is used in both government and business to determine a course of action. In simplest terms, you identify an issue or problem, list a number of alternative solutions or options for resolution (two or more), then compare the pros and cons of each option, and finally make a final conclusion.

2. Select a current (less than 12 months old) journal article on an international homeland security issue to review in a six- to eight-page paper prepared using the American Psychological Association (APA) 6th edition style guide. Identify the issue, review the author’s position, develop pros and cons to the author’s position, and summarize with recommendations. A journal is a scholarly publication addressed to a particular professional audience such as doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers, or accountants and published by a professional organization. They may contain research articles, reports, and practical articles applicable to the profession. Newspapers are not journals. News magazines and websites are not journals.

3. You will select a current international event and, using the comparative analysis technique, you will develop a series of possible outcomes related to international homeland security and specifically to US homeland security. You will prepare an eight- to ten-page paper using the format specified in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.). The paper will outline the event, issues, and potential outcomes. Comparative analysis is used in both government and business to determine a course of action. In simplest terms, you identify an issue or problem, list a number of alternative solutions or options for resolution (two or more), then compare the pros and cons of each option, and finally make a final conclusion or recommendation.

4. You will select a historical or current international security treaty to describe and analyze the effectiveness and sufficiency of the treaty as it relates to homeland security and international security cooperation. The final project will be a 14- to 16-page paper using the format specified in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.) and covering the following major topics:

• history of the treaty, including identification and analysis of the forces and events that brought about the treaty
• describe and analyze the conditions and elements of the treaty
• describe and analyze the conditions and elements of the treaty in relation to the current security of the United States
• future of the treaty (i.e., will it be enforceable, will it be necessary, etc.)
• describe and analyze the conditions and elements of the treaty in relation to the future security of the United States
• recommendations for changing the treaty to what best benefits the international community and the United States
• The terms effectiveness and sufficiency of the treaty come to mind. Somehow, we should incorporate that we want students to analyze the effectiveness and sufficiency of the treaty as it relates to homeland security and international cooperation.

5. Federal agencies are funded through Congressional action. In a simplified overview, the House and Senate Budget Committees establish budget levels, the Authorizing Committees assign funds to specific agencies and programs under their jurisdiction, and the Appropriations Committees secure and provide the funds for these purposes. How well is this system working today? What are the major issues? How can they be resolved?

6. One of the functional annexes typically included in such plans is one for pets and animals. The Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act of 2006 (PL 109-308), informally known as the PETS Act, provides that certain state-designated shelters are required by statute to provide co-located shelter facilities for pets. Is this a best use of scarce resources? What should the government’s responsibility be for pets?

7. Seven major issues that can have a significant impact on homeland security.

Weapons of Mass Destruction

Economic Disparity and Social Fragmentation

Water Security, Food Security, and Energy Security

Decreased National and Multinational Solidarity

Unrest Across the Globe

Demographic Change

Cyberthreats

In your opinion, which of these possibilities represents the greatest threat to the United States? Why?

8. Response actions to a disaster are often classified as being food, water, and shelter issues. Which of these responses do you feel represents the greatest challenge to government agencies and NGO organizations? Why?

9. The recovery phase of any disaster event creates a huge requirement for manpower for cleanup, repair, and restoration. Traditionally, a sizable segment of the manpower pool is provided by volunteers from NGOs, churches, community organizations, schools, etc. What are the advantages to using volunteers? What are the disadvantages?

10. In 2011, this function was subsumed within the Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations (CSO) which worked to “deemphasize” preparation for “sizable state-building post-conflict missions”. What happened? What is our obligation to countries we have defeated once the battles are over?

Note : Avoid Plagraism and Use APA format 6^th Edition with Reference Pages

Explain, in your own words, what the terms mission, vision, goals, and values mean from an organizational standpoint.  What is the practical purpose of a statement of organizational values?  Under what circumstances should an organization consider changing these, if at all?  How do they contribute to the strategic direction of an organization?  If you were a department manager, how would you implement and sustain these in your organization?  Support your primary response with at least one scholarly source. Provide in-text citations and complete references for all sources used. Format your post according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
