IntroductionThis week we take a look together at the history of Surrealism, as it formed in post-World War I Europe and as it has made its way into our wider culture up to today.The word ‘surrealism’ itself has become one way for describing the bizarre, the irrational, and even the hallucinatory. It seems very fitting to think about Surrealist art today as, over the past months life has been, arguably, very surreal, as we have collectively experienced the effects of the global pandemic. In the video below, we are introduced to Surrealist art. It argues the case for Surrealism, and why we should care about it.Watch the 10 minute video below provide on [1] fact that you learned from the video including its timing in the video. Then state why it stuck out to you.Please format your post like the example below:The catch: there is doubling up on facts. That means that you have to make sure that no other student in the class has posted the same fact as you.Best approach is to watch the video and write down 3-5 facts that stuck out to you. Then scroll through the discussion and check-out all of the other facts posted by the other members of the class and post a unique one that you found and which is not yet submitted by another classmate. Hint: The sooner you do the assignment, the easier it is.
During the COVID pandemic and due to global restrictions, many of us were ot been able to see artworks firsthand while museums were closed to the public.In an episode of the Art Assignment made during the pandemic, the presenter addresses this fact and makes a book of all the artworks she wishes she could see firsthand. For her, bringing these works together in a handmade book brings comfort during the crisis. You can watch video below.We have looked at many artworks over the past weeks and there might be some you were drawn to and even wish you could see firsthand. For this week’s thread, we are going to create our own ART 105 virtual art book rtworks we have explored in this class and would like to see in real life.Tell us: What artwork from the coursework do you want to see in real life? Select “reply” to enter your post. Make sure you answer the following points:These are some of the arts that we have studied
Your instructor will choose two incidents from the Short Incidents for Ethical Reasoning that follow Ch. 8 of your textbook. After reading each incident, you must identify all relevant stakeholders and determine how they could be impacted by the decision that will be made, identify and apply at least one principle for ethical reasoning, and then consider alternative courses of action and choose the best course of action based on stakeholder impacts and the outcome of the application of the ethical principle. Your textbook defines stakeholders as an entity that is benefitted or burdened by the actions of a corporation or whose actions may benefit or burden the corporation. Some common examples of stakeholders would include customers, employees, suppliers, stockholders, and the community.Businesses will almost always have multiple stakeholders, and many times their interests will conflict. This means that a business decision-maker will frequently have to make a decision in the face of competing claims from different stakeholders. The question of whose interests should be prioritized requires the exercise of judgment. This skill?examining competing claims and deciding which one is the strongest?is called evaluation. You will want to consider the power, urgency, and legitimacy that each stakeholder presents.You should put yourselves in each stakeholder?s position?Why do they care about the outcome of the decision? How will they be affected? What outcome would they prefer? What are their arguments in support of their preferred outcome? You will want to consider the power, urgency, and legitimacy that each stakeholder presents. Two of the videos below will give you a brief review of stakeholder theory and give you an idea of what skills you will be expected to demonstrate when you complete this assignment. Additionally, writing mechanics and grammar are graded as part of this assignment. A video on improving mechanics in business writing is provided below to help refresh your memory. Viewing statistics will be collected and counted as part of the assignment?s grade. As a reminder, for each incident, be sure to identify all relevant stakeholders and determine how they could be impacted by the decision that will be made, identify and apply at least one principle for ethical reasoning, and then consider alternative courses of action and choose the best course of action based on stakeholder impacts and the outcome of the application of the ethical principle.
You have covered a lot of material in the past month and a half. Your understanding of infrastructure is now based on theoretical knowledge, as well as on the applied knowledge you have learned from the discussions and from your own personal experience. You have a solid grasp of the infrastructure sectors and subsectors, the interplay between the levels of government, and the role of the private sector. We have witnessed a lot of epic disasters this past year, and the wildfires in California are surely the worst. Last year the hurricane that destroyed the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico was also devastating, and the list goes on. We are experiencing unique and frightening issues related to global warming and the rise in coastal waters, both causing significant challenges to our infrastructure today, and they will only get worse in the years ahead. There is always the ever present danger from natural and man-made disasters, and we are far enough into this course where I want to provide a forum for you to discuss and debate any or all of these issues, or others if they are relevant. That is the topic for this week’s discussion. As usual, I will monitor it but will leave it to you to manage the scope and direction of the narrative. I know that many of you will want to discuss issues related to cyber security, for example. Someone else might want to discuss the effects of a tornado that destroyed their home or community. The list of relevant topics is unending. What is of interest to you?

It is not uncommon for some-to-many American students, who typically, are first-generation college students, to not fully understand, and maybe not even appreciate the purpose of a university. Some students erroneously believe a university is just an extension of high school, where students are spoon-fed ?soft? topics and dilemmas to confront, regurgitate the ?right? answers on exams (right answers as deemed by the instructor or a textbook), and then move on to the next course. Not only is this not the purpose of a university (although it may feel like it is in some of your other courses), it clearly is not the purpose of my upper-division course on Cross-Cultural Psychology. The purpose of a university, and my course in particular, is to struggle intellectually with some of life’s most difficult topics that may not have one right answer, and try to come to some conclusion about what may be ?the better answer? (It typically is not the case that all views are equally valid; some views are more defensible than others). Another purpose of a university, and my course in particular, is to engage in open discussion in order to critically examine beliefs, behaviors, and customs. Finally, another purpose of a university education is to help students who typically are not accustomed to thinking independently or applying a critical analysis to views or beliefs, to start learning how to do so. We are not in class to learn ?facts? and simply regurgitate the facts in a mindless way to items on a test. Critical thinking is a skill that develops over time. Independent thinking does not occur overnight. Critical thinkers are open to having their cherished beliefs challenged, and must learn how to ?defend? their views based on evidence or logic, rather than simply ?pounding their chest? and merely proclaiming that their views are ?valid.? One characteristic of the critical, independent thinker is being able to recognize fantasy versus reality; to recognize the difference between personal beliefs which are nothing more than personal beliefs, versus views that are grounded in evidence, or which have no evidence. Last class meeting and for 15 minutes today, we addressed ?religious bigotry.? Several points are worth contemplating: Religion and culture go ?hand in hand.? For some cultures, they are so intertwined that it is difficult to know with certainty if a specific belief or custom is ?cultural? or ?religious? in origin. The student in class tonight who proclaimed that my class was supposed to be about different cultures (and not religion) lacks an understanding about what constitutes ?culture.? (of course, I think her real agenda was to stop my comments about religion). Students in my class who openly proclaimed that Christianity is the most valid religion, as some of you did last class, portrayed precisely what religious bigotry is. Bigots?racial bigot or religious bigots?never question their prejudices and bigotry. They are convinced their beliefs are correct. For the Christians in my class who argued the validity of Christianity last week, I suppose I should thank you for demonstrating to the rest of the class what religious arrogance and bigotry looks like. It seems to have not even occurred to you (I’m directing this comment to those students who manifested such bigotry), as I tried to point out in class tonight, how such bigotry is perceived and experienced by the Muslims, the Hindus, the Buddhists, the non-believers, and so on, in class, to have to sit and endure the tyranny of the masses (the dominant group, that is, which in this case, are Christians). The male student who stood up in class and directed the rest of the class to ?not participate? by not responding to my challenge, represented the worst of education. For starters, the idea that a person?student or instructor?would instruct other students on how to behave, is pretty arrogant and grossly disrespects the rights of other students who can and want to think for themselves and decide for themselves whether they want to engage in the exchange of ideas or not. Moreover, this ?let’s just put our fingers in our ears so we will not hear what we disagree with? is appallingly childish and exemplifies ?anti-intellectualism.? The purpose of a university is to engage in dialogue, debate, and exchange ideas in order to try and come to some meaningful conclusion about an issue at hand. Not to shut ourselves off from ideas we find threatening. Universities hold a special place in society where scholarly-minded folks can come together and discuss controversial, polemic, and often uncomfortable topics. Universities, including UCF, have special policies in place to protect our (both professors? and students?) freedom to express ourselves. Neither students nor professors have a right to censor speech that makes us uncomfortable. We’re adults. We’re at a university. There is no topic that is ?off-limits? for us to address in class, if even only remotely related to the course topic. I hope you will digest this message, and just as important, will take it to heart as it may apply to you.Charles Negy
For this Discussion, you apply your knowledge of the DSM to the client case study uploaded below. Think about your rationale for this diagnosis. Also, consider client risk factors for suicide.Post a diagnosis of the client in the case study. Then explain your rationale for assigning on the basis of the DSM. Finally, explain whether this person is at risk for suicide and how you might specifically assess them for suicide. Justify your response with client data and the current literature.For this Discussion, consider the differences between medical conditions and psychological disorders. Also, within your personal scope of competency, think about ways to minimize misdiagnosis of clients. Consider best practices for diagnosis and treatment within your scope of competency. Post an example of how medical conditions might mimic psychological disorders. Then explain two ways you might minimize instances of misdiagnosing a medical condition as a psychological disorder.
