With regard to research ethics when interviewing children, the most common issues raised in the introduction of interviews concern data confidentiality, the purpose of the study and of interviews, as well as the use of audio or video recording of the interviews. Less often, there are references to the voluntary character of the interviews, the right of children not to answer questions if they do not want to and the signing of consent forms. In any case, not all studies treat issues of research ethics in the same way and not all emphasize the same aspects of research ethics.Using the general guideline from this week’s introduction, chose two key points from the ethical conduct list, then chose the topic you would like to apply those points to and create a mock podcast or a mock podcast transcript. Your audience for the podcast is final year psychology students who will undertake a case study with children under the age of 18. Some points you may wish to consider in your podcast may be:How do you discuss non-conformity with children and adolescents?What are the ethical issues using under age participants in research when approaching gender development issues?When is parental concern necessary (consider country and the family religious or ethnic background even if it is not in the guidelines) in order to involve children in research?Your podcast should include the following elements (at a minimum):The topic you would be discussingIntroduction (for example, parental attitudes to proposed transgender bathrooms in elementary schools or cultural attitudes to girls boxing team)Case example to illustrate the issues and its ethical challengesConclusionUsing the Video Note tool in the assignment submission area, you will prepare your mock podcast. To create a video note, select the Record video option in the assignment submission area. You will need your webcam to complete this video. Press the New Recording button when you are ready to record your video note and the Stop Recording when finished. Click the Add button to include the video in your assignment submission. Alternate assignment: If you do not have access to a webcam, prepare a mock podcast transcript covering the same topics noted above.Length: 3-minute video or a 4-5 page transcript

This paper will focus on cultural/political/social reflection and influence films and actors have had. Students choose one of the following actors and their films listed, watch the film, do some brief research and write about the cultural/political/social impact the star and film had relevant to the film’s era. Why was the actor in this film important? What barriers did both the actor and film break? Again, this is not entirely a research paper. It’s important to see your own reaction to the performance and how you see the effect of the actor/film in regard to cultural/political or social influence. As with Response 1, it’s integral to see the actor in this film through your eyes! Minimum word requirement is 600 to 750 words but feel free to expand if needed.

I have past the grading rubic at the bottom of the instructions to show how this assignment will be graded!In Week One, we watched a video in which Alain de Botton argued that religion serves many good functions in life, many of which may be able to exist apart from belief in the supernatural. For example, religion gives us a connection to something greater than ourselves, which generates community, promotes a sense of awe and wonder for the world, and motivates us to moral goodness. Botton challenges his fellow atheists to invent a secular replacement for religion that is able to accomplish these good things without requiring beliefs that conflict with modern science. In this week’s Required Multimedia, we watched a video in which Karen Armstrong went further, suggesting that even traditional religions can be practiced in a way that does not conflict with modern science, as long as the stories in those religions are treated as mythology instead of as literal history. You will recall from Week One that mythological stories are those stories we accept whether or not they are true. One difference between religion and mythology is that most religious people believe their stories are actually true, whereas myth may or may not be true. If you are religious, you might be one of those who believes the stories in the Bible are literally true, even if they sometimes conflict with modern science. But not everyone is able to believe in religion literally. Yet if Armstrong and Botton are correct, then they are missing out on an important area of human life. Remember that religion is broader than just mythology; in Clifford Geertz’s terms religion is a whole “cultural system” that accomplishes all the things Botton describes. This journal explores the importance of religion for modern life. Imagine you are debating an atheist who believes we must base our lives only on what can be proven scientifically. (Perhaps you believe this yourself! If so, take up the contrary position for the sake of argument.) Write a two to three-paged debate-style “opening statement” in which you provide reasons to believe that science alone cannot provide everything that necessary for living a good human life, and argue instead that religion (including mythology, art, ritual, etc.) is necessary even for those who do not believe in anything supernatural (e.g., God, the afterlife, miracles, etc.). Even if you disagree with this idea, imagine the perspective of someone who agrees and try to make your argument as convincing as possible. Be sure to explain the difference between science and religion, as you understand it.Opening StatementTotal: 7.00 Distinguished - The opening statement provides clear, original, and insightful reasons against science’s sufficiency and in favor of religion’s importance. Proficient - The opening statement provides clear reasons against science’s sufficiency and in favor of religion’s importance; however, the reasons may not demonstrate much original thought or insight. Basic - The opening statement attempts to provide reasons against science’s sufficiency in favor of religion’s importance; however, the reasons may not be clear and/or the reasons are borrowed entirely from other authors. Below Expectations - The opening statement mentions science’s insufficiency and religion’s importance, but may not give any reasons for these claims. Non-Performance - The opening statement does not mention science’s insufficiency or religion’s importance. Explains the Difference Between Science and ReligionTotal: 2.00 Distinguished - Thoroughly and accurately explains the difference between science and religion. Proficient - Sufficiently explains the difference between science and religion. Some minor details are missing or slightly inaccurate. Basic - Explains the difference between science and religion. Relevant details may be missing and/or the explanation may be somewhat inaccurate. Below Expectations - Attempts to explain the difference between science and religion; however, the explanation is inaccurate and lacks relevant details. Non-Performance - Does not attempt to explain the difference between science and religion. Written Communication: Control of Syntax and MechanicsTotal: 0.50 Distinguished - Displays meticulous comprehension and organization of syntax and mechanics, such as spelling and grammar. Written work contains no errors and is very easy to understand. Proficient - Displays comprehension and organization of syntax and mechanics, such as spelling and grammar. Written work contains only a few minor errors and is mostly easy to understand. Basic - Displays basic comprehension of syntax and mechanics, such as spelling and grammar. Written work contains a few errors which may slightly distract the reader. Below Expectations - Fails to display basic comprehension of syntax or mechanics, such as spelling and grammar. Written work contains major errors which distract the reader. Non-Performance - The assignment is either nonexistent or lacks the components described in the instructions. Written Communication: Page RequirementTotal: 0.50 Distinguished - The length of the paper is equivalent to the required number of correctly formatted pages. Proficient - The length of the paper is nearly equivalent to the required number of correctly formatted pages. Basic - The length of the paper is equivalent to at least three quarters of the required number of correctly formatted pages. Below Expectations - The length of the paper is equivalent to at least one half of the required number of correctly formatted pages. Non-Performance - The assignment is either nonexistent or lacks the components described in the instructions.
