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

Philosophy Plato The Apology Discussion

Class & Professor,My inspiration piece will focus on the painting below, which was painted by Paul C‚zanne. The artwork was painted using oil, and the medium used was a canvas. The art features a white dish which contains various fruits, and some of the fruits can also be seen on a table cloth which has been situated next to the white dish.  Painter: Paul C‚zanne Circa: 1879-80 Art: Still Life with Fruit Dish Medium: CanvasI chose this particular piece because of its uniqueness. The artwork which is titled Still Life with Fruit Dish contains certain elements which captured my attention. I have always been in love rt. Hence, I was not nervous when the assignment was given. My artistic eye further led me to choose this particular painting because it portrayed various elements which can be seen in modern art (Bott, Wolf, & Williams, 2008). One of the reasons I chose this piece for the art presentation assignment will focus on the colors selected in the painting. There are two colors which were used by the painter. One of the colors used is blue. The dark blue used at the background further led the white fruit dish to stand out. Furthermore, the artists also used a bit of blue to highlight the shadows present in the painting. White is the second color used in the artwork. The white pigmented oil paint was used to paint the fruit dish. The painter managed to employ the primary color, blue to portray how white the dish is. There are other colors presented in the painting, such a red, beige, brown, black, and so on. The space in the artwork was also divided with the background being a blue wall and the foreground featuring the fruit dish holding some fruits as well as the fruits, a knife, and glass which had been placed next to the fruit dish. There are two subject matters in the painting, that is, the fruit dish and the fruits (C‚zanne, 2001). One other reason as to why I chose this particular art will focus on the style which was used to compose the image on the canvas. The style employed by the painter was one of the modern styles, that is, impressionism. Impressionism is part of the coursework content that we studied during the sixth week. This style highly focuses on the arrangement of subjects which will be done carefully. Paul C‚zanne managed to arrange the fruit dish, fruits, and the glass of water at the center of the table, further establishing a unique presentation that only revolves around fruits and a fruit dish. Furthermore, the colors used in the painting led people to view it as unique since a good number of colors were combined further creating the layered effect seen on the subject matters. One good example will focus on the fruit dish, which features layers of white and blue oil paints (Sayre, 2013). I am of the view that art, which includes paintings, plays, and pencil sketches, is unique. Excellent care will often be used by the painters who paint their unique paintings since they want to achieve the desired look that will not only attract people but will also leave him or her satisfied. The care and precision used to create this masterpiece will serve as a professional reflection. Care and accuracy should be provided to the patients who will come to the medical facilities for health care services. The art can be applied in my profession since it teaches me more on precision which can be used to make sure that the services being offered to the patients will be of quality since the painting created by Paul C‚zanne is of quality as well.References Bott, G.

To address this, the Federal Reserve plans to slow down interest rate hikes, which should promote economic growth in the latter half of 2023 (Arnold et al., 2023). Reducing Inflation and signaling to lower interest rates is expected to stimulate growth in sectors heavily influenced by interest rates, such as the bond market (Arnold et al., 2023). The bond market is sensitive to interest rate fluctuations and has been affected by high-interest rates (Arnold et al., 2023). According to the Congressional Budget Office, interest rates on 10-year Treasury notes are expected to increase slightly in 2023 due to a projected increase in term premiums. However, after 2023, interest rates on long-term Treasury securities are expected to decline slightly, mainly because short-term rates like the federal funds rate are expected to decrease (Arnold et al., 2023, para 6). Lower interest rates and a decrease in Inflation will benefit bond prices, which could result in increased demand and higher overall returns.Similar to other asset classes in today’s market, bonds have pros and cons. Inflation-protected Treasury bonds are a highly advantageous investment option due to their unique feature of being adjusted for Inflation based on the consumer price index (Bodie et al., 2022). This inflation adjustment ensures a consistent income stream for investors that is directly proportional to Inflation (Bodie et al., 2022). In addition, the interest rates earned on these bonds are risk-free if held until maturity (Bodie et al., 2022). It is worth noting that fluctuations in interest rates have little to no impact on Inflation protected Treasury bond investments, further enhancing their appeal. Therefore, if investors are looking for a safe and stable investment vehicle that provides reliable returns, Inflation protected Treasury bonds are worth considering. Like any other widely traded asset that can be affected by various market conditions, bond prices fluctuate due to changes in supply and demand, interest rates, and other economic factors (Nielsen, 2023). In today’s market, bond prices have fallen due to Inflation and shifting interest rates. This decline can be directly attributed to the decrease in purchasing power, causing investors to worry that a bond’s yield will not keep up with the rising cost of Inflation, ultimately leading to less demand (Nielsen, 2023).In addition to market conditions, investors may also receive either more or less than the face value of their bond when selling it, depending on the current bond prices at the time of sale or if sold before maturity (Nielsen, 2023). This unpredictability can be a significant disadvantage for investors seeking a stable and secure investment. It is crucial for investors to carefully consider all potential risks and benefits before investing in bonds, including the possibility of receiving less than the face value and the potential impact of market conditions on bond prices. Ultimately, informed decision-making is key to successful bond investing.References: Arnold, R., Betz, A., & Lasky, M. (2023, February). The Economic Outlook for 2023 to 2033 in 16 charts.

PUG Communications Mental Illnesses Running in The Family Discussion

Reliable and Relevant Sources Prepare: Complete the Unit 7 Reading and Activities sections.Post: Make your initial post to the Discussion Board.Locate one claim or point that needs to be strengthened within one body paragraph of your Unit 6 Assignment. Then find one reliable and relevant source that will support it. Include the URL link to the source in your post so your classmates can review the source.Then, explain why this source is reliable and relevant to your paper.Select a body paragraph from your Unit 6 Assignment that needs research information to support, develop, or clarify ideas effectively. Then, paraphrase and incorporate the relevant source from the source you selected into that paragraph to help clarify, develop, or explain your point or claim in that paragraph. Post both the original paragraph from your Unit 6 Assignmentand the revised paragraph that now includes research information. Do not worry about citing the source correctly ? you will learn to do that in Unit 8. Instead, use a signal phrase inside the paragraph (like ?According to Smith??) to introduce the source information within the paragraph.Include an open-ended question about any issue your initial post raises which your classmates can help you with.Respond: Respond to at least two classmates’ initial Discussion Board posts. Be sure to briefly review their source and comment on the reliability and relevance of the source your classmate has chosen. Offer suggestions for how your classmate might more effectively paraphrase and incorporate the source into the revised paragraph. Make suggestions for other, more reliable sources that could be used or more relevant information that needs to be included in the paragraph to support the classmate’s main point or claim. Remember, effective teamwork this week can help you and your classmates ensure you have reliable sources and are ready to hit the ground running and begin integrating paraphrased research into your draft.The Unit 7 Reading will help you define the difference between reliable and unreliable sources, identify source information relevant to the specific point you are making in your writing, and help you to build your ability to paraphrase and integrate source information into your own writing skillfully and effectively. You will then need to apply this information to your Discussion Board response this week and in your upcoming Unit 8 Assignment. Locating reliable research is also a skill which you are likely to use in your future career field as you research and learn about issues and topics in your field.The Importance of ResearchParaphrasing ResearchPost #1Jeremy HarveyHello Everyone, Here is my original paragraph followed by the revised one with research. I chose to do the one about the resurgence of deadly diseases. I decided it would be easier to focus on fewer diseases so I can go more in depth and not bore the reader ll the different ones, let me know what you think.Original:Diseases have been around since the start of microorganisms and through anti-vaccination the resurgence of deadly disease has become more prevalent. More and more people are not vaccinating because of fear of harm from the chemical makeup of vaccines. Vaccines have been essential to the health of the population protecting against the flu, measles, meningitis, polio, pertussis and tetanus to name a few. Since the start of the Anti-vaccine movement there has been an alarming increase in measles, mumps and pertussis all of which are preventable through vaccination; very deadly diseases like meningitis have become more common as children aren?t receiving the meningitis B-vaccine.Revised:Diseases have been around since the start of microorganisms and through anti-vaccination has come the resurgence of deadly vaccine preventable diseases. According to an academic journal by Michelle M. Papachrisanthou DNP, CPN-PC more people today are becoming vaccine hesitant for fear that vaccines do not work, cause immune system overload, and their suggested links to autism. Vaccines have been essential to the health of the population protecting against the flu, measles, mumps, meningitis, and pertussis to name a few. Since the start of the anti-vaccine movement there has been an alarming return of diseases once thought eradicated. One of which is the recent measles outbreak in Minnesota in 2017 where 65 people from infants to elderly were infected with the virus 95 percent of which were unvaccinated. Another is the mumps outbreaks in 2016-2017 rising from almost none in the 1990?s to a skyrocketed number of over 1.1 million people in the world infected and upwards of 12,000 cases here in the US alone.Do you feel as if this paragraph flows for focuses too much on the articles information? It is hard to tell for me topic that requires a lot of support.Post #2Michael Cookson The link above leads to a research publication that’s rather extensive, but offers insight into technology and internet usage among low-income families. The topic of my paper was on innovation in Human Services using technology. In one of the paragraphs that I used to claim that internet usage among low income families is growing, I could use the information in this article as a helpful support. Even since this data was published in 2016, the usage of technology has increased rapidly.Here’s the drafted paragraph:hfghfghfghfgfghfgfghfghLooking back through history, technology has always provided an advancement of efficiency, this is no question. Within society as a whole, we rely on technology to some extent every day. For example, in the early 1920?s the first radio broadcast of educational content was conducted. Then, in just six, short years, the Distance Education and Training Council was founded. From there, short and long distant communication were utilized and innovated upon repeatedly in order to provide education to a broader range of people. This might seem trivial now, but this was a huge leap in the sharing of information. We sometimes value our information very flippantly, because it is so accessible. However, there are populations all across the world still that do not have the same access, and it was the same environment in the 1920?s which inspired others to innovate communication and education.At the end of this paragraph I could add how inter-connectivity has grown tremendously since the 1920’s, but still in low income areas most families are “under-connected”, which basically just means they don’t use broadband internet, and instead rely mostly on their cell service. This might tie into one of the last paragraphs of my paper that references a mobile app designed to aid social service.Let me know what you guys think.
