Harlow’s studies of attachment served the overall purpose of proving that for normal childhood development love is needed. After watching the videos, I learned about the key components of his studies, as well as the results of these studies. The first video went over the experiment which was done on an orphan monkey who was separated from its mother at birth. In the video it shows the monkey for an attachment with a pad kept in its cage, when the pad is removed for cleaning, the monkey becomes very disturbed and shows a bit of separation anxiety. They compare the brain of the baby monkey to the brain of a human baby and say that it can actually be more advanced than a human, which I found to be very surprising. I guess this makes sense though, as most studies are first conducted on animals, and to be able to accurately compare the responses of these animals they must share similar traits with humans. It is actually very cool to see how quickly an attachment can form and what happens when this attachment is taken away. I found the videos to be very interesting, it is always nice to learn about different studies conducted to help understand the behaviors of humans and the psychological aspect of the human brain.

Based on watching the video I did know that monkeys are very needy but I did not know that they could die of loneliness. It makes sense that they are very needy because they are taken care of from the beginning of their life to the end, even if they are wild because the animals take care of each other and look out for everyone. When the baby monkeys are experimented to see which “mom” they would go to is a very interesting thing. The fact that the monkeys go to the imitated mom that has cloth makes sense because it resembles more of the mom than a wired. I think because they feel safer with being with the imitated mom with the cloth. It makes sense because if you were scared you would rather go to something that seems like it can protect you rather than something that doesn’t. It is very interesting that when the money is taken away from the cloth mom for six months and is reunited it seems to miss it very much. This makes sense also because when a person is let’s say gone for a long time doing whatever and then comes back they miss people that are in their lives a lot. I just find it very interesting that monkeys get so attached to their moms or anything that they look to that may represent being a mom.

solved The transition from a consumer of research to a producer

/in /by

The transition from a consumer of research to a producer of research includes becoming an expert in the design and methodology required for the research task in addition to becoming an expert in the content of the research. Since not every nuance of every research design and method can be addressed in the limited space of a doctoral program, doctoral learners must take the responsibility to become fully immersed in the research design and methodology that is best suited to address the research questions of the dissertation. In this assignment, you will make a step toward both becoming an expert in the research methodology of your dissertation and to creating a first draft of the methodology section of your prospectus. Please note that a passing score on this assignment does not indicate an approved research design or methodology. You will work with your dissertation chair and methodologist to further refine and focus the design and methodology once you enter the dissertation phase of the program.General Requirements:Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:Refer to the potential dissertation research questions and problem statement you drafted as an assignment in a previous course.Retain this paper for reference in future courses.This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.Refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association for specific guidelines related to doctoral level writing. The Manual contains essential information on manuscript structure and content, clear and concise writing, and academic grammar and usage.This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articlesfor assistance.Directions:Write a paper (750-1,000 words) in which you present a clearly articulated argument for whether a qualitative or quantitative research methodology is the best approach to answer the potential dissertation research questions and address the problem statement you drafted in a previous course. Include the following in your paper:A literature-supported discussion identifying the critical attributes of the selected methodology (qualitative or quantitative).A literature-supported rationale that clearly articulates why the critical attributes of the selected methodology are a best or appropriate fit for the stated problem and research questions. Cite specific examples where a similar methodology was used to answer similar research questions or to address a similar problem statement.A literature-supported rationale that clearly articulates why the opposing methodology (qualitative or quantitative) is not appropriate for the study.A concluding statement that clearly affirms the methodological choice (qualitative of quantitative).

Peer’s Discussion Post:

Verbal communication skills

What are 2 barriers you experience when you are trying to engage in effective verbal communication?

I think that a barrier that I experience when trying to engage in effective verbal communication is that I often times struggle to come up with answers to the interviewers questions, it is almost like my brain goes blank and I say umm and uh a lot. I also have been old before that I talk loudly and that is something that can rub people the wrong way. 

How can you overcome each of the barriers you identified? (For each barrier describe two (2) approaches you could use to overcome them)

I can research interview questions prior to going to the interview and formulate answers before the interview. If I feel confident going into the interview I will likely not say umm and uh as much when responding to questions.
I also can work on lowering my voice so that I am not talking so loud. Also I need to work more on maintaining eye contact with the person that I am speaking with in an interview. I feel as if that shows confidence. 

Written communication skills

What are 2 barriers you experience when you are trying to engage in effective written communication?

I feel like I have a pretty strong resume but it could be better
I also am terrible at writing cover letters and thank you cards. 

How can you overcome each of the barriers you identified? (For each barrier describe two (2) approaches you could use to overcome them)

I will utilize the tactics that we have learned in this class to make my resume even better then it is now. 
I also have learned skills in this class to improve my cover letter writing skills.
I did not know that you were supposed to send thank you cards after an interview so I will do that from now on after interviews.

Module 10 Opening Discussion 66 unread replies.77 replies.PurposeThe purpose of the Opening Discussion is to allow us to directly think about a philosophical question or problem without the bias that might result from prior knowledge of the ideas and arguments of important philosophers.This direct approach to a philosophical question or problem sets the stage for our inquiry into the philosophical theories and arguments covered in the module. It furthermore is the first step toward a greater self-awareness of our own individual intellectual biases and assumptions.The Opening Discussion MUST be completed at the beginning of the module during the timeframe specified in the course calendar. Please make sure to carefully follow the directions provided and adhere to the deadlines specified in the course calendar.DirectionsClick on ‘Reply’ to create your Opening Discussion POST in response to the prompts below. In your post, please address the following:When you reflect on the later Wittgenstein’s notion of the contextuality of meaning (his notion of ‘language games’) and apply this notion to larger ‘systems’, do you think that some of these systems are ‘better’ or ‘more valid’ than others? Is there ‘progress’ of some sort throughout the history of ideas and intellectual inquiry? For instance, does the Scientific Revolution with its emphasis on empirical inquiry constitute progress compared to the focus on faith in the Middle Ages? Or – in a more specific example – do you think that modern empiricist epistemology (from Locke on onward) is ‘superior’ with respect to truth and knowledge, compared to Aristotelian teleology and his ideas of purpose in nature (the problematic notion of ‘final causes’)? Why? Why not? Carefully explain your reasoning. Can you think of your own examples of ‘progress’ in intellectual history? Can you think of ways of thinking or systems of thought that are (or have evolved to be) ‘better’ than others? Please make sure to provide concrete examples, and carefully explain your reasoning. Respond to at least two of your classmates. In order to respond to a classmate, open the classmate’s post and click ‘Reply’. Carefully explain why you agree or disagree with your classmate’s view on intellectual progress. Make sure to be specific and carefully explain your reasoning.You must create your POST before you can reply to your classmates. Therefore, you should create your POST a day or two before the discussion deadline.Your initial post should be about 200-300 words in length, and your responses to classmates should each be about 100-200 words in length, but feel free to be as detailed as you wish.Your post and your responses must be written in proper English (correct spelling and grammar, and appropriate style). It is recommended to write your post and responses using a word processing program and copy and paste the completed post and responses. This will avoid losing work in case of internet outage, etc. You are encouraged to comment on your classmate’s feedback to your initial post and keep the (civilized!) discussion going. **(you should reply to two of my peers discussion posts because its part of the assignment too )

THE BOOK ; NORTON 360 In the text, read/re-read (some of this is from last week) sub-chapters 27, 29 and 30 from the chapter titled “Processes.” In there, you will read about different strategies for brainstorming, coming up with a thesis, generating ideas, refining ideas, and writing. Choose ANY one of the images that we have discussed so far, and practice two of the strategies mentioned in these sub-chapters. Am posting this as a Discussion, so, you will see each other’s work. just to give you an example of how to do this, I have listed some of the questions from one of the sub-chapters, and sample answers below. For the following pictureHow can it be defined? What I define here is the time and place, any background I can find out. After some research, I find out that these were construction workers taking a lunch break while building Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. It was taken in 1932. How can it be described? The men mostly look like they are having a good time, enjoying their break, reading newspapers, talking to each other, laughing, smoking. They seem to be oblivious to the fact that they are so high up. One outlier on the side seems less contented, and is looking directly at the camera. What can it be compared with? I think it can be compared to other working class photos of that time, like those taken by Dorothea Lange, in that it shows working class/lower income people at work, and humanizes them by showing them doing very human things. I also think of novels from that time period by writers like John Steinbeck, which portray these same sorts of folks. What may have caused it? You may or may not answer this question. In my case, I would say, this question is not relevant. How can it be classified? It can be classified as part of the visual literature of depression-era United States, a snapshot of the common man at that time, and, perhaps, an attempt to enlighten those of higher classes to the humanity of these people. How can it be analyzed? The hardworking men sitting on this skyscraper do, I believe, represent American ingenuity, toughness, optimism and perseverance. They are not downtrodden or worn out. Rather, they seem exuberant in their work clothes, on this steel metal piece of structure they have been working tirelessly at building. The steeliness of the image, the steel piece on which they sit, the steel color of the sky represent their toughness. I think it also humanizes a lower class that may have not received the respect that upper classes did, and still don’t. They are shown engaged in human activities of socializing and relaxing. They are human beings, who need enjoyment like anybody. Finally, as they are sitting high above the city, engaged in building a great landmark, I think it symbolizes American, capitalist ascent, America as this great, ever rising powerful entity. What expectations does it raise? Again, this is not applicable. What are the different positions on it? Here, I would research what others have said about it. What are your feelings about it? Would answer this in a few sentences. Are there any other ways to look at it? Would answer this by trying to look at it from another perspective.

Discussion 1:This exercise is designed to help you with integrating sources into your own writing. This will help you as you prepare to write your four-source, six-source and multiple-source essays. Here’s what you’ll do:Review the following short paragraph on a hypothetical paper about cybersecurity and the Internet of Things. Note that the writer has made some errors in his integration of Shindell as a source. Identify at least two errors, and describe what the errors are in one or two sentences. (Note: You don’t have to re-write the paragraph. Just describe what the errors are—e.g., “One error can be found in the first sentence, where the writer includes the title of the article instead of the author’s name…”)One potential method of hacking into a hospital’s records is through a wearable device. Often, wearable devices are used by health care institutions to monitor blood pressure or other health conditions. However, such devices expose vulnerabilities in the system. (Shindell, 2018) argues that hackers increasingly integrate malware to infect such devices and then use them as foundations upon which to attack the health care institution’s IT systems. Specifically, Shindell, 2018, maintains that ransomware is especially pernicious. “During an attack, victims will typically encounter a screen giving them directions for paying a ransom to retrieve their data…” “More than half of hospitals surveyed were hit with ransomware in the previous 12 months.”Discussion 2:For this discussion, you’ll evaluate a student sample Four Source Essay paper. This will help you as you work on our own upcoming essay.Here’s what to do:Read the sample paper for Writing Assignment #2 (the Four-Source Essay). The paper is about the effect of the One Child Policy on elder care in China. It’s called Sample Student Four Source Essay. (See attachement) (Please note that this paper uses 6th edition APA. For updated citation purposes only, see the APA 7th edition, example student paper in Content.)Answer the following questions, and post your response to the discussion board.Note that this isn’t a perfect paper. More synthesis is necessary between the sources. However, as you can see from the annotated bibliography, the student has narrowed her topic. She has moved from the general effects of China’s One Child Policy to the specific effect on the care for the elderly in China.1. In the paper, notice how the writer integrates the first two sources into the second paragraph. How do these two sources relate to each other? How could the student have made the relationship clearer? (Answer in ~3-4 sentences.) For example, you might consider if the sources are similar or different, if they support each other or contradict each other, or some other observation. 2. The writer cited Zhang & Goza (2016) in various parts of the paper. What did these authors add to the literature on the elder care in China, according to this paper? You might focus on paragraphs 2, 3 and 5 (answer in ~3-4 sentences). For example, you might begin, “The research by Zhang & Goza focused specifically on…”Please put each discussion on 1 page.
