CompetencyDetermine the historical impact of art on modern culture, society, and the workplace.ScenarioYour local library has decided to hang artwork in its lobby. You volunteer at the library and heard that the director of the library plans to go to the mall and buy artwork off the shelf in a home decor store to decorate the walls.You are outraged, and feel that the library presents an ideal space for more meaningful public displays. After all, your town has such a rich and interesting history, and there are some artists and craftspeople living in the area. You decide to approach the City Council Chair to voice your concerns, but he informs you that the library is on a tight budget, and he doesn’t see the need to spend too much of tax payers money on “decorations.”You now plan to attend the next City Council meeting to convince the town to do more with the exhibiting space at the library, and that it doesn’t have to be expensive if the displays are cultivated from regional resources.InstructionsFor this assignment, you may use your current location, or pick another American city.List five significant creations in your city/town, such as buildings in different styles of architecture, bridges, and public art. Include the year each item was created.Arrange the chosen creations in chronological order, along with names of their creators.Explain the major styles/periods in art to which each of the five creations/selections relate. Include your rationale for your selection.Identify three additional local creative residents from the past and present, whose work could potentially be displayed at the library. List the forms of art for which they are known.Your timeline should be printable so that it can be distributed to City Council members and attendees at the meeting. Use the timeline templates found under the Insert tab to create a printable timeline.Clearly label your chosen location.NOTE - Be sure the documents display proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure.

Respond to a colleague's post by explaining an insight you gained from this week's Resources that addresses a topic in your colleague's post. Please use the resources to support your postColleague: Jacqueline Classify Research DesignKohl et al (2011) conducted a quasi-experimental study where parenting practices and maternal depression is examined over a 36 month time period to determine their association. The same sample of 1536 mother-child pairs were used during the entire study (Kohl el al, 2011, p.215). The study is considered quasi-experimental because it uses the same group of mother-child pairs at different times. Limitations of the StudyOne of the limitations of the Kohl et al (2011) study is that the sample used only mother-child pairs where the child stayed in the home with the mother following the investigation of maltreatment (p.221). This limits the experiences gathered and analyzed to these specific circumstances. Whereas, children removed from their home were not analyzed, and their experiences were most likely not the same as those who remained in the home following maltreatment. Also, the entire study relies on the mothers self reporting which leaves room for dishonesty or reluctance to share information.Concerns Regarding Internal Validity and CausalityThe concerns I have surrounding the internal validity and the ability of the study to draw conclusions about causality is that the study is completely dependent on the word of its participants which can never be proven true beyond the shadow of a doubt. It is possible for a mother to be reluctant to share the truth of her experience which jeopardizes the validity and ability to draw conclusions about causality.Concerns about Generalizability of the Study and What may Limit itIn the Kohl et al (2011) study the concerns I have for generalizibility is that the results can only be considered to be true for those who fit within the parameters of the sample used (p.216). Therefore, the research design is limited to mother-child pairs where the child is between the ages of three to 10, and who remained in the home for at least a 36 month span after maltreatment being investigated.

Observational StudiesSearch for one human behavior–based observational study that is currently being conducted or that has been published since 2008. You may search for a study using the South University Online Library and the PsycINFO database. The steps to access PsycINFO are: Click Library.• Select Online Library. • Click on the All Databases from the library homepage in the top blue navigation bar and scroll down to find PsycINFOSubmit a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document of the study. Include the name of the primary investigator, the title of the study, and the study objectives. Make sure you state the specific types of people being observed and the setting in which they are being observed. For example, people with Alzheimer's disease when they are eating dinner in the nursing home's dining room.Use this study as the basis for a new study you create. Give your study a title and explain how you would apply each step of the scientific method to perform it. Discuss whether your study is basic or applied research and explain why.Part two This WeekCreate the Introduction section of the research proposal. Include the following:Select a topic for your research project.Explain why this topic is of interest to you.Explain the topic and describe the potential research areas in the topic.Choosing your topic:The best way to choose a topic is to research the topic before you choose it. One of the biggest challenges in finding articles for your topic is that your topic may not have much in the way of research. The remedy for this is, when you first have an idea for a topic, to go to the online library and do a quick search on current research for your topic. If you can find several articles on your topic, then you're good to go. If you can't, then it would be good to modify your topic a bit or even change it until you find one that will generate the needed articles for your reviews.When searching for articles, scan first and read later: You can speed up your article search if you focus mainly on three things.Look at the journal name—it may provide some insight into access to other articles. Many journals are specific to a certain discipline or area of study.Review the abstract first—the abstract will provide valuable information on what the article may hold. Remember though it doesn't contain all the information. It is still imperative to read the entire article if you choose it as one of the ones you will use.
