Of
all of the medical terms, conditions, therapeutic interventions etc,
that you’ve learned this semester, which was the most
interesting medical condition, what therapeutic intervention is done to
diagnose it, how is it treated, and what did you learn that can be
applied to your present or future course of study?
.

Background: Deep (or elaborative) processing involves making the information you’re trying to learn meaningful to you, and is part of constructivist learning theory. It can overlap with what’s called “self-referential processing” (or self-referential encoding), in which memories in which information is relevant to or can be easily “mapped” onto the self are made more durable. With any luck, you’ve already experienced both of these processes through the reflection exercises in this course. We’ll now attempt to leverage both of these concepts to help you scaffold your learning *about* memory onto your own experiences and sense of self.
Purpose: Using a “mindmap,” apply memory terms and concepts (such as encoding and retrieval) and memory strategies (such as deep processing and elaborative rehearsal) to explore the construction of your own identity. Analyze how these memories were encoded and stored to practice “elaborative rehearsal” with the concepts and terms from this lesson.
Tasks:
Sketch out, either in writing via a list, or by drawing on a piece of paper, some of the experiences and memories that you feel make up the core of your identity. These experiences could be general (say, your favorite hobby or sport), specific (the day you moved away from your hometown, or a favorite item from childhood), or a mix of the two (an annual family or cultural tradition). There’s no way or need to be exhaustive here, but shoot for a list of 6 that you feel represent you well, in all your many facets. Think of Riley’s core memories that help make up her “islands of personality” in Inside Out.
Make a mind map of your 6 experiences. You can do this digitally for free via mindmeister.com (we’ve included a different kind of mindmap example using mindmeister below), or if you’d prefer, you can simply draw one, labeling each memory, and then upload a picture of your drawing. Just make sure the photo or screenshot and your handwriting is legible and all labels can be easily read by your instructor. Follow these steps:
Start your mindmap with your first name and “Identity” in the center bubble.
Add to the center bubble another 6 bubbles, each with a memory or experience.
Then, consider the memory concepts we’ve studied in this lesson, such as encoding, storage, retrieval, interference, mood-congruent or state-dependent memory, effortful vs. automatic encoding, imagination, nodes, schemas, assimilation, accommodation, etc. Scan this article for other helpful terms (such as episodic memory and working memory), and this article for concepts specific to autobiographical memories (such as peak-end rule, collective memory, emotion and memory, and the “reminiscence bump.”) Beside each memory bubble, list or connect the memory terms that you can associate with or identify within that memory – is it collective? Did it involve semantic or deep processing? Did it contribute to a schema?
Finally, choose three of your memories and, for each one, write a well-developed paragraph first explaining the memory’s development or pathway, and then briefly reflecting on how that memory has impacted your identity. Your three memories should follow at least slightly different “pathways” for memory development (remember this Prezi map?), and incorporate different terms from the articles above – for instance, you would describe the encoding of a family holiday tradition differently than you would a single flashbulb moment or episodic event. Don’t repeat the same analysis for each memory – if this is difficult, try selecting a different memory to write about. For each memory, when describing the memory’s development or pathway, use at least 4 distinct memory concepts and/or terms, and make sure you use them accurately. You should use at least 10 different memory terms across your 3 different paragraphs.
When referencing the text or another source, you can first use an in-text citation like “According to the OpenStax text (2020),” or “Spielman et al. (2020) describe….” Then provide the citation(s) for your source(s) in a separate References page. Check APA Citation Help for examples of different kinds of citations, and you can copy the citation below and insert the relevant page number(s) within the parentheses for the chapter text.
Spielman, R. M., Jenkins, W. J., & Lovett, M. D. (2020). Psychology 2e (pp. #-#). OpenStax. https://openstax.org/details/books/psychology-2e
Submit your writing and a picture or screenshot of your mindmap to the “Memory and Identity” dropbox under “Assessments/Assignments” in your navbar.
Grading Criteria:
You’ve listed at least ten memories or experiences in your (easily legible) mindmap, and you’ve associated memory terms with all of them.
Each of your written explanations of your three memories uses 5 terms and concepts and displays an accurate understanding and use of concepts, Key Terms, and the lesson material, and you’ve cited your sources correctly.
You’ve reflected on how each memory has impacted your identity.

Begin by reading the following articles:
https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2012/jul/08/fresh-water-tourist-developing
https://matadornetwork.com/change/tourism-destroyed-mexicos-yucatan-coast/
Pick an example of your choosing. Do some research or draw from your own experiences so that you can discuss and critique issues regarding tourism accommodations in less developed countries. Think about concerns as they relate to environmental issues, such as water access as described in the article, economic issues, such as who benefits from tourism (i.e. are the resorts or hotels locally owned or owned by multinational corporations), and the socio-cultural impact of different types of accommodations. Using this information complete the following:
1. The issues you decide to post about can vary, but you must discuss at least 2 issues.
2. Finally, discuss one potential solution for each issue you discussed.
Note: That Matador Network is a tourism company and has a particular bias. Nonetheless, their website points out some common issues surrounding resorts in the Yucatan region of Mexico.

APPLICATION ESSAY Assignment
(100 points possible)

There is no need for arms, physical violence, material constraints.
Just a gaze. An inspecting gaze, a gaze that each individual under its weight
will end by [internalising] to the point that they are their own overseer, each
individual thus exercising surveillance over, and against themself.
Michel Foucault

In this assignment, students will write a 3- to 5-page
essay applying Laura Mulveys theory of the male gazeas developed in her
articles Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema and Afterthoughts on Visual
Pleasure and Narrative Cinemato a film
of their choosing.(It cannot be a film youve already used for another
assignment in class). Students will be able to appraise and employ a
theoretical lens of analysis that is appropriate to a filmic object and demonstrate
through one of the following steps:
Affirm
and Defend
In this type of essay, you would demonstrate how
Mulveys argument is effective in describing and analyzing the cinematic
pleasures of the film you have selected. However, this essay should not just be
a catalogue of your points of agreement with her. Instead, you must try to
imagine the disagreements someone could have with a Mulveyan account of your
chosen film, and attempt to counter these possible objections, showing how
Mulveys framework answers such potential rebuttals.
Extend
and Complicate
Here, your essay would begin by showing how the film
you have chosen can be explained, for the most part, by Mulveys theory.
However, you would also point out elements of the film that Mulveys model does
not seem to account for. You would show your reader, though, that rather than
contradict her argument, these elements allow us to elaborate on, and thus
strengthen, her theoretical framework (think here of Mulveys own elaborations
in the Afterthoughts article).
Challenge
and Refute
In this type of essay, you would argue that the film
you have chosen demonstrates a fatal flaw in Mulveys argumentthat there are
significant elements of visual pleasure in the film that Mulvey can neither
account for, nor could her model be modified to include them. An essay in this
mode, like Affirm and Defend, must be careful to imagine potential objections
to your argumentwhich, here, would be Mulveyan rejoinders to your criticism.
Your essay must attempt to answer these possible rebuttals.

AFTERTHOUGHTS ON ‘VISUAL PLEASURE AND NARRATIVE CINEMA’ INSPIRED BY ‘DUEL IN THE SUN’ (KING VIDOR, 1946) (blackboardcdn.com)

In your first paragraph, fully summarize the podcast: Rap on Trial: How an aspiring musician’s words led to prison time. Second, be sure to answer one or more of the questions below. The questions are
After investigating, police found thousands of music lyrics, there was no evidence Oduwole was a violent person, interviews with people on campus agreed he was not a threatening person, but the prosecution disagreed. Why? Explain by applying concepts from this semester.
2 different stories: 1) a potential terrorist who was plotting a campus massacre; and 2) a young man who has unlawfully stored a gun on campus, but otherwise has done little wrong. Its up to a jury to decide. Note the racial and age demographic make-up of the jury in Oduwoles case and use your own words to explain how conviction was thus highly likely.
The sociological component is that Oduwoles experience is not an isolated one as rap lyrics have been used as evidence of criminal intent against black men. Summarize the criminological research that indicates how rap lyrics have the potential to bias jurors. In such instances, can the accused get a fair trial when the jury is clueless to social context? Explain the above while keeping in mind that perceptions and biases are rooted in the social construction of reality
Link to podcast: https://www.npr.org/2018/05/07/608161616/rap-on-trial-how-an-aspiring-musicians-words-led-to-prison-time.

Please have a minimum of 5 sentences within each paragraph.

What spiritual considerations surrounding a disaster can arise for individuals, communities, and health care providers? Explain your answer in the context of a natural or manmade disaster. How can a community health nurse assist in the spiritual care of the individual, community, self, and colleagues?

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
Additional Information: The briefing to John and the board of directors was a success. You and Shawn believe that it allowed them to understand the challenges associated with managing global human capital effectively and the value of recognizing human capital as a critical part of AGCs strategic plan. John and the board of directors gave every indication that they understood the sense of urgency needed to align the key global human capital goals with those established for the entire global organization. In fact, they asked you to move ahead with developing global human capital goals for AGC as part of its strategic plan.

You will begin by evaluating the existing organizational culture and analyzing the leadership styles used at each global AGC subsidiary. The company has several global subsidiaries, each with significant cultural differences. Shawn believes that AGC would benefit from an organizational culture that is more proactive and competitive. Likewise, he believes that leadership development programs should focus on styles that recognize the importance of celebrating diversity, empowerment, and innovation.

Review the AGC scenario for this course and discuss the following with your peers:
Using AGC as an example, what human capital management problems can arise when an organization does not acknowledge cultural differences at its global subsidiaries?
How can leadership styles effect global organizational culture?
Describe a human capital management goal that Shawn can recommend to change the global organizational culture of AGC.

How does a nurse know what (if any) knowledge in a research study is usable for clinical practice? What would a critical thinker look for in the evidence before deciding to change? What influence do credibility and clinical significance have on your decisions to integrate research-based evidence into your practice?
