In the last 10 years technological advances have enhanced many fields including psychology. Technology helps improve peoples lives individually, such as the ability on our cell phones, TV’s and even cars now. The advances don’t stop with our everyday lives but with how we conduct studies and test in psychology as well. Today, new instruments are increasing the reliability/validity of psychological data, aiding psychologists the ability to have more precise measurements. Improved computer processing power and databases mean that researchers and other psychologists can store and process large amounts of data. A recent advancement was uncovered during COVID 19, apps, videos and the ability to conduct a doctors visit virtually became a normal way of life. Psychologist benefited from this by being able to conduct regularly scheduled visits via a video call to keep everyone safe in their respective homes/offices. Technology enhances the majority of lives, while there are some cons the pros definitely outweigh the cons.

I do not think medication alone should be used to treat mental health disorders. I do not have personal experience but I have known friends and friends with children who were prescribed medicine alone and struggled with it. Medication mixed with a specific type of therapy should be the way medication is used. Medication, especially mental health medication can make you feel completely different good or bad. This can be scary and hard to get used to. If it’s effecting you negatively having a therapist to talk to about would be beneficial because they can help you adjust it mentally, adjust the dosage and/or adjust the type of therapy you are receiving. Individuals respond to therapy differently the same as medication, it’s not a one fits all. An example from the APA suggest that for anxiety disorders, cognitive behavioral therapy is shown to be the most helpful and medication does not always need to be used and doesn’t always improve what the therapy is doing alone. I do believe there is a negative aspect in society. If someone takes a medication everyday for years it’s noticed and it can affect how people view you. I worked in a juvenile detention center for 4 years and the kids would get their medications everyday. The kids that had psychotropic medications would often get asked about them by the other kids and sometimes it was negative attention that did not help their situation.

In the past several weeks, we have learned about the evolution of psychopathology and the field of psychology. DQ 1 is asking you to look at the past 10 years and write about what you have found interesting or startling. I want you to look at the future of this field and tell me what you think will be some things that will be exciting or startling in the next 10 years. Where do you see this field going and why do you think that?

How do animals affect the amount of carbon in Earth’s atmosphere? T

 Student Exploration: Carbon Cycle Vocabulary?: ?atmosphere, biomass, biosphere, carbon reservoir, carbon sink, fossil fuel, geosphere, greenhouse gas , hydrosphere, lithosphere, photosynthesis Prior Knowledge Questions ?(Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) In the process of ?photosynthesis?, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO?2?) from the atmosphere and water (H?2?O) from the soil. Using the energy of sunlight, plants build molecules of glucose (C?6?H?12?O?6?) and oxygen (O?2?). ?Make sure all of your answers are in a different color. 1. How do plants on Earth affect the amount of carbon in Earth’s atmosphere? Plants take in carbon dioxide and process it into oxygen. 2. Animals eat plants and produce carbon dioxide and water. How do animals affect the amount of carbon in Earth’s atmosphere? They eat plants that process carbon dioxide and when they eat theses plants, there are fewer plants that can process the carbon dioxide. Gizmo Warm-up The ?Carbon Cycle ?Gizmo allows you to follow the many paths an atom of carbon can take through Earth’s systems. To begin, notice the black carbon atom in the ?Atmospheric CO?2 ?area, ?highlighted in yellow?. ?The glowing blue areas represent possible locations the carbon atom could go next. 1. From Earth’s atmosphere, where can the carbon atom go next? ?Oceanic Co2, land plants, and exposed rock 2. Click on ?Land plants ?and ?read the description (at the bottom of the simulation)?. How did the carbon atom get from the atmosphere to a plant? ?Plants use energy from the sun for photosynthesis. Most of the oxygen is released. 3. Select ?Land animals?. How did the carbon atom get from land plants into the animal (?read the description )?? ?Land animals consume plants for energy. 4. Select ?Atmospheric CO?2?. How did the carbon atom get from land animals back to the atmosphere? ?They release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere through cellularrespiration

A madman who has threatened to explode several bombs in crowded areas has been apprehended. Unfortunately, he has already planted the bombs and they are scheduled to go off in a short time. Discuss this case, using a different ethical system than you used in a previous discussion question. Identify the facts, including all parties involved. Indicate the rights and responsibilities of each party. Identify relevant values, concepts, social constraints, and any additional information necessary for an accurate understanding of the case.

Week 1: The Mad Bomber
No unread replies.No replies.
A madman who has threatened to explode several bombs in crowded areas has been apprehended. Unfortunately, he has already planted the bombs and they are scheduled to go off in a short time. Discuss this case, using a different ethical system than you used in a previous discussion question. Identify the facts, including all parties involved. Indicate the rights and responsibilities of each party. Identify relevant values, concepts, social constraints, and any additional information necessary for an accurate understanding of the case.It is possible that hundreds of people may die. The authorities cannot make him divulge the location of the bombs by conventional methods. He refuses to say anything and requests a lawyer to protect his fifth amendment right against self-incrimination. In exasperation, some high level official suggests torture. This would be illegal, but the official is sure that it will make him tell the truth in time for you to find and defuse the bombs. What should you do? What if you know that the bomber can withstand torture himself, but would talk if you were to torture his innocent wife instead?
Discuss this case, using a different ethical system than you used in a previous discussion question. Identify the facts, including all parties involved. Indicate the rights and responsibilities of each party. Identify relevant values, concepts, social constraints, and any additional information necessary for an accurate understanding of the case.
Identify all possible ethical dilemmas for each party involved.
Decide what is the most immediate ethical issue facing the decision-making individual.
Describe one ethical system.
Apply that ethical system to this case. Do not use your default ethical system. Think about the ethical system you selected. How would that ethical system decide what is right and wrong in this case?
Describe one concept of justice.
Apply that concept of justice to this case. That is, do not default to what you think should be done to correct this situation. What would the concept of justice you selected say about how to achieve justice in this situation?
Sum it up – Resolve the ethical or moral dilemma by using the ethical system and concept of justice you described. Since you’ve describe an ethical system defining right and wrong and a concept of justice defining how to remediate this situation, what should you do?
Use evidence from the text, lecture, or outside sources to support your claims.

The steps above will give you practice in selecting and applying an ethical system and a concept of justice. Starting next week, your case study responses will become much more robust. Look at the upcoming assignments to make sure you are prepared.
