Individual Supply and Demand Simulation Complete the Supply and Demand Simulation located on the student website. Write 700 - 1,050-wordpaper of no more than summarizing the content. Address the following: ·  Identify two microeconomics and two macroeconomics principles or concepts from the simulation. Explain why you have categorized these principles or concepts as macroeconomic or microeconomic. ·  Identify at least one shift of the supply curve and one shift of the demand curve in the simulation. What causes the shifts? ·  For each shift, analyze how it would affect the equilibrium price, quantity, and decision making. ·  How may you apply what you learned about supply and demand from the simulation to your workplace or your understanding of a real-world product with which you are familiar? ·  How do the concepts of microeconomics help you understand the factors that affect shifts in supply and demand on the equilibrium price and quantity? ·  How do the concepts of macroeconomics help you understand the factors that affect shifts in supply and demand on the equilibrium price and quantity? ·  Relating to the simulation, explain how the price elasticity of demand affects a consumer’s purchasing and the firm’s pricing strategy.

The self-help movement has swept the world of substance abuse treatment. A new client may not be aware of any treatment options open to them aside from those of self-help group meetings, such as Alcoholics Anonymous. While self-help groups are not a solution for every client, they have been shown to be useful in some cases. As future substance abuse counselors, it is important that you explore and be aware of the different self-help groups and what goes on in these group meetings.Research an online self-help group or research the implications of self-help groups in general including their strengths and weaknesses.Write a paper about your experience and make sure you cover the following:Evaluate the self-help group you attended and/or researched. Critique the strengths and weaknesses of self-help groups in terms of their value in the treatment of substance abuse. Hypothesize what types of clients would be a good match for the group that you attended and/or researched. What types of clients would not be a good match? Consider age, gender, culture, race, sexuality, religion/spirituality, and the severity of substance abuse. Include other evaluation criteria for differential treatment. Explain your reasoning. Predict how self-help groups are evolving over time. How can technology be used to supplement and/or replace face-to-face support groups? Appraise the effect on the group experience when involuntary clients are present. Include the effect to treatment, counseling, and collaboration. Recommend several ways to overcome resistance. How may technology be used to overcome resistance to treatment? Include collaboration issues involved in the treatment of involuntary clients using technology. Write a paper in Word format and make sure you include a title page and reference page in addition to the 6–8-pages of content. Apply APA 6th edition standards to the format of the paper, and the citation of sources.

Read the “Research Areas of Emphasis in Professional Psychology” article and select a topic of psychological research discussed in the article (e.g., evidence-based treatments, veterans/active military, multicultural issues, ethical issues, natural disasters, forensic, health, child psychology, suicide, chronic pain, rural practice, interpersonal violence, graduate/internship training and education, managed care issues, or professional roles). This topic will be used as the focus of the literature review you will be creating as part of your Final Project, as well as for aspects of other assignments within this course, so select a topic that is of personal interest to you.  In your post, discuss some of the methodological issues unique to this psychological research.  State the topic you selected and then write two potential research questions that could be explored on the topic you selected. Identify at least one potential research design to answer each of the research questions you wrote (you will identify a total of two designs).  Each question will require a different research design to be selected to investigate the topic.
