Each of you is in college so that you can pursue a career. In this discussion, identify a career goal (what do you want to be when you graduate). Be SPECIFIC about your career (i.e. don’t say “engineer,” say what kind of engineer. Don’t say “nurse,” say what kind of nurse.)

Write your research proposal in one paragraph. Then, include your hypothesis (what you think you will find out when you have completed this essay) AND a bulleted list of your research questions for step 3.
Directions:
Step 1: Each of you is in college so that you can pursue a career. In this discussion, identify a career goal (what do you want to be when you graduate). Be SPECIFIC about your career (i.e. don’t say “engineer,” say what kind of engineer. Don’t say “nurse,” say what kind of nurse.)
Step 2: Now, this is your opportunity to research that career. Think about what you need to do to get there–not just taking the classes, but what else do you need to do? Are their certifications? What will make you a successful candidate? What is the job outlook? How much money will you make, etc.
Step 3: Finally, list 5-8 research questions about your future career choice and what you think you will find (your hypothesis).
Also, when you write this essay, PLEASE USE FIRST PERSON!! I want you to talk about YOUR career choices and YOUR ideas–not write as some bland person about some bland topic, OK??
OK! Now, get writing!!

Write a paper that proposes and argues a single ambitious solution for a major local, national, or global problem.

Write a paper that proposes and argues a single ambitious solution for a major local, national, or global problem. Your essay should demonstrate an understanding of the problem and offer persuasive evidence and reasoning to support your solution. Your solution should feel ambitious. Like Singer and Coates, you do not need to worry if your solution is likely one, only that your solution feels persuasive. Pick a strategy to win us over. Take a chance to dream big and swing for the bleachers, as they say!
Some examples of major problems include: deforestation, plastic in our oceans, rising college tuition, the vanishing middle class, poverty, the spread of misinformation, racial discrimination, gendered pay gaps, low access to quality healthcare in the US (rising healthcare costs), bad air quality in the central valley, rising opioid addiction rates, threat of global pandemics, overconsumption, or something else. Try to pick something that feels focused and specific. For example, climate change is a broad problem with tons of elements: deforestation, greenhouse gasses, and water pollution, to name a few. The solutions for deforestation will be different than the solutions for greenhouse gasses, so you’ll want to narrow down the larger problem of climate change and pick either deforestation or greenhouse gasses (or some other sub-problem contributing to the broader problem of climate change). You’ll also want to pick a problem that feels measurable, otherwise you won’t be able to show what “solving” this problem looks like in a clear way. For example, lets say you’re worried about the problem of stereotyping. While this might definitely be a problem in our society, how would you know when this problem is solved? Has this problem been worsening or improving over the past decade and how would you know for sure? Instead of picking a problem that’s abstract (or, hard to measure), think of a way to quantify the problem so that your readers will better understand how you intend to fix it. Perhaps you want to look at the rise in hate crimes in the US over the past few years (we hover near 16-year highs in numbers of hate crimes). (Links to an external site.) While it might be difficult to measure the amount of stereotyping in our country (you could measure media representation– perhaps even harmful amounts of representation, as anti-defamation leagues do though), research can measure and evaluate changes in metrics like hate crimes or unequal income distribution. In that respect, looking at how to reduce hate crimes, or how to increase representation in the media, might be better topics than the more abstract topic of stereotyping.
Choose Your Own Adventure:
A 7+ page essay for The Atlantic, the same magazine that Coates published in, which sells itself as a forum for ideas where “reason should always guide opinion.
A 7+ page traditional academic essay published in an academic journal.
Expectations:
7+ pages in MLA format (the works cited pages do not count towards this page count)
You must have an MLA works cited page and sufficient parenthetical citations throughout so that I can correctly separate your claims from your sources’ claims and information.
You must cite 5 or more credible sources, and at least two peer-reviewed sources. Each source should feel appropriate, authoritative, and credible for its context. The CRAAP test is a useful tool.
Persuade, don’t just argue! Remember, your goal is to win your audience over. Even when you’re “right,” if you don’t have a strategy for persuading us, then being right won’t accomplish your actual goal.
Explain and frame the problem. While you can rely on popular knowledge about topics like climate change and such, you shouldn’t expect that your audience has done nearly the amount of research that you have. How might you frame such a daunting problem? For Singer, he offers trolley problems that transform a global struggle into a puzzle. Coates uses testimonials and historical accounts to give the effects of structural racial inequality a human face.
Advice:
Be Creative! Because these are ambitious solutions, you won’t probably find research that they work—your solution probably hasn’t been tried yet! The point of learning persuasion and inductive reasoning isn’t so that you can point at work that other people have done, say “let’s do that,” and call it a day. I want to teach you how to problem solve. You might find some research to directly support your solution, but you might not! If you believe in your solution, come up with solid reasoning to back it up! Either way, a lot of your evidence and reasoning will require creative critical thinking. Embrace that! If this were just a “research paper,” I’d say to focus on evidence; instead, like Singer, let’s focus on your reasoning and bring in evidence to buttress that whenever able and necessary (Coates uses a lot of research, but Singer’s only “research” is that a $200 donation will save a life– then rest of his argument is reasoning and explanation).
Dream Big! I don’t expect you to actually solve climate change, COVID-19, or global poverty. Instead, I want you to dream big and argue for an unlikely, maybe even wild solution. Think about Singer and Coates here: even if their solutions might seem unlikely, their solutions feel justified, perhaps even ideal.
Carefully focus the “facts” of the problem so that your audience knows exactly what you are trying to solve. Coates is a great example here. Coates does not claim to solve “racism”; he proposes a solution to address racially biased economic inequality. Be explaining issues like red-lining, Coates focuses the terms of the problem so that he can better tailor his solution. If Coates only focused on reparations for slavery—what most people think about when they hear the word “reparations”—then Coates’s solution might not seem as effective. Instead, Coates focuses on systematic racism so that he narrow his solution to address the economic effects of discrimination. Simply put, fixing all racism is too difficult. If you’re writing about COVID-19, for example, you might consider issues with testing, treatment, and its pandemic spread. Maybe you decide to argue for a solution to slow its spread— refusal to wear a mask should be criminal or something. If you want to propose this solution, you might not want to focus on other facets of the problem, such as limited testing or treatment (unless your strategy interprets these as rebuttals you need to mention); frame your problem carefully in order for you to better tailor your solution.
Remember Cicero! First, change our moods. Then, change our mind. Then, fill us with a desire to act. To persuade people, you need to win their hearts and A lot of academic writing obsesses over the “minds” part, but it’s peoples’ hearts that compel them to invest the time and energy to change stuff!

Write a paper on Elizabeth Blue Diagnostic Analysis Paper

Write a paper on Elizabeth Blue Diagnostic Analysis Paper

After watching the film Elizabeth Blue (2017), write a diagnostic analysis paper, which will include the sections outlined below. The DSM-5 should be your primary resource as you complete the diagnostic sections of the paper. An APA paper template is available on the course Canvas page. Please note that the diagnostic impressions you provide in this paper are for the purpose of practicing critical thinking, problem-solving, and scientific inquiry; official diagnoses are reserved for real cases and are made by fully trained psychiatrists, psychologists, or general practitioners who are licensed to practice. Submit one copy of the complete assignment per group. Please also fill out the short group evaluation form, which can be found on the course Canvas page, individually by the assignment due date.

DSM-5 Diagnosis of Elizabeth

Diagnostic Impressions
In this section, provide your full DSM-5 diagnosis of Elizabeth, according to your observations during the course of the entire film. If you include more than one diagnosis, list your diagnoses in the order of clinical importance and focus. Indicate which diagnosis is of most clinical importance (principal diagnosis) and if any diagnoses are given based on a strong presumption that the full criteria will ultimately be met but that given the current observations, not enough information is available to make a firm diagnosis (provisional diagnosis). Include the code numbers before each diagnostic listing, and include all relevant subtype and specifier information for the diagnosis, according to the full DSM-5 details. Use V codes/Z codes to provide additional contextual information relevant to the case; these can be found in the section called, “Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical Attention” (pp. 746-758 in PDF version of DSM-5; pp. 715-727 in printed DSM-5). Note any medical conditions that may be relevant to the diagnosis (the codes for general medical conditions can be searched via www.icd10data.com).

For example, this is the DSM-5 diagnostic formatting for a hypothetical case (not related to this film):

300.4 (F34.1) Persistent Depressive Disorder, mild severity, with early onset, with pure dysthymic syndrome (principal diagnosis)

315.00 (F81.0) Specific Learning Disorder, with impairment in reading

315.1 (F81.2) Specific Learning Disorder, with impairment in mathematics (provisional diagnosis)

V61.03 (Z63.5) Disruption of family by separation or divorce

G43.919 Migraine, unspecified, intractable, without status migrainosus

Rationale for Diagnosis
Provide rationale for each of the diagnoses you provided in the section above. Systematically proceed through each of the DSM-5 criteria for the diagnosis, clearly indicating why each criterion is met or not met (with relevant evidence from the film to support your conclusion for each criterion).

Differential Diagnosis

In this section, identify each of the diagnoses which were considered but were ultimately not selected for this case. For each diagnosis under consideration, provide a subsection which highlights your thought process. Systematically proceed through each of the DSM-5 criteria for the diagnosis, clearly indicating why each criterion is met or not met (with relevant evidence from the film to support your conclusion for each criterion). Ultimately, these will be diagnoses you considered but which do not meet enough criteria to be applied to your “official” diagnosis above. A strong paper will include at least five relevant ruled-out diagnoses in this section.

Biopsychosocial Analysis

Discuss the origins and continued persistence of the problems using the biopsychosocial model.

Biological Contributions
Discuss the biological factors relevant to the onset and perpetuation of the diagnosed problems (e.g., genetic abnormalities, physical changes due to maturation or physical trauma, physiological differences in neurotransmitter and hormone levels, autonomic nervous system activity). Provide scientific evidence and in-text citations to support your analysis.

Psychological Contributions
Discuss the psychological and interpersonal factors relevant to the onset and perpetuation of the diagnosed problems (e.g., relationships with caretakers and peers, thought processes, emotional regulation processes, behavioral learning history, exposure to key experiences). Provide scientific evidence and in-text citations to support your analysis.

Sociocultural Contributions
Discuss the sociocultural factors relevant to the onset and perpetuation of the diagnosed problems (e.g., the impact of institutions and systems, cultural assumptions and expectations, cultural values impacting definitions of illness, experiences of prejudice and stigmatization). Provide scientific evidence and in-text citations to support your analysis.

References

Beginning at the top of a separate page, include an APA-formatted reference list, including full-text references to accompany your in-text parenthetical citations of the DSM-5, textbook, and other scholarly sources, such as peer-reviewed articles and edited book chapters. Do not use non-scholarly websites (e.g., Simply Psychology, Very Well Mind, WebMD); use the SNU Library search page to begin all searches for scholarly sources.

Discuss why coding is important in your anticipated health care career .

Discuss why coding is important in your anticipated health care career . You need to identify the career that you plan to enter upon graduation. If you are not in the health field just choose one that interests you. You need to cite the information given in APA format and provide a full APA reference at least 1 (preferably 2) scholarly article other than the one posted in the module at the end of the post. Put your post (initial & response) directly into the discussion board, not as an attachment so everyone can see your information.
