Process or Product Goals for schooling & Diversity and Equity Discussion
chapter 6 please respond to meghan with 190 words with 2 citations and referenceTopic 1- Process or Product. Learning is a response to both instinct and instruction. Every infant has certain instincts within them. The desire to move, like rolling over or crawling, and the desire to explore the environment around them.Learning is a instinct because the child develops a desire to gain knowledge. The act of putting these desires into action require instruction. As small children become aware of their environment they observe their parents, siblings, other children, and media such as television. The child's instinct to learn kicks in as they start to react to others during play, and socially as they learn to talk and communicate. The child observes their siblings and parents walking on their two feet and through many attempts learn to stand and take steps. Learning is a process and it's also a product of receiving training and instruction. A small infant does not begin to talk at birth. They learn through communication and repetitiveness of those around them. The same is true in education- a child doesn't start school knowing how to read, but through instruction they can gain knowledge. The success a child experiences academically requires many levels of support. Epstein & Sheldon, (2016) discussed that when the family and school works together on behalf of the child- that child experiences greater success in life. Parents need to provide a learning environment in the home that is free of distractions, and parents should help their child set realistic goals and expectations. Parental involvement is essential to the family /school success ( as citied in Berns, 2016, p. 228). Learning is instinct, instruction, and the process and product of education all working together to help children obtain success in all aspects of life.Topic 2- Goals for schooling. The chart used on page 206- Goals for schooling in the United States is a picture of what the ideal learning environment would provide to America's students. All parents and students want the best education available and the opportunity to use the skills learned through their lives. Berns (2016) wrote “ The primary purpose of education, from society's perspective, is the transmission of cultural heritage, the accumulated knowledge, values, beliefs, and customs of the society” (p. 206). The skills that children learn during their school years are vital to their personal success. In middle and upper classes these goals are usually met. The families are able to provide their children the tools needed to succeed. Lower and underclass statuses may not be able to achieve all these goals. Public schools have a large number of students to teacher ratio, less money available per student, and fewer resources available for families. Meeting the needs of lower class families will provide a better learning environment for children. Helping families to discover resources available to them will give parents the ability to become more involved in their children's education. Berns (2016) wrote that “ When families become involved in their children's education at school and in the community, then children from low-socioeconomic-status and culturally diverse families are enable to fare comparably to middle-class children” (p. 228). Many resources are available such as the Head-start program. Families need to be involved in the education of their children. Berns (2016) stated that the school and families should be in partnership together in meetings and activities that support learning.Topic 3- Diversity and Equity. Teachers and school officials must be aware of the divers groups of students that are attending their schools, and follow proper procedures to ensure that all students have equal opportunities available to them. Every child must have a equal opportunity to attend whatever classes or sports that interest them. Berns (2016) stated “ The opening section of Title IX states: No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance” (p.211). According to Berns (2016) This law applies to all public schools without exception. Any program or service that is offered must be available to all students regardless of gender, race, disability or religious affiliation. School guidance counselors must be aware of all regulations when dealing with students. These laws are beneficial to both males and females in that they are not put into a group and are denied classes or opportunities that might be open to others. Many times students can receive input from other children and adults that may hinder them from trying to achieve their goals. The child should seek guidance from parents, other students, or counselors. No one should feel inadequate or different from their peers. People from all walks of life have different ambitions an example could be a female wanting to be a mechanic which is typically a male role, or a male desiring to be an preschool teacher which is usually a female role. Gender can not be a issue for any person, and they both must be offered the same opportunities to follow their goals.Reference.Berns, Roberta M.

HIST 1301 Tarrant County Slavery & Women Abolitionist Movement Discussion
After reading the first hand accounts of slaves provided or others available at the North American Slave Narratives Project. Explain what you see at the most important elements of slave culture. How were slaves able to maintain a culture in a system in which they had few legal rights? What challenges hindered the development of slave culture? Why was maintaining a culture important to slaves during the Antebellum era? How is slavery portrayed today and is it accurate?To receive full credit for this assignment your post must:Address the questions asked in the paragraph above in at least a 300-word post and cite all outside sources appropriatelyIn your initial post, include at least one interesting question the readings raised for you.Question 2:One of the main jobs of historians is to interpret the past by reviewing primary documents, scholarly secondary sources, and then creating an analysis of this research. After reading your text and reviewing the assigned materials, submit an analysis of Women’s Reform Movements in the 1840s and 1850s.You might want to consider the following questions, but you are not limited to them: Why did women begin joining reform movements at this point in American history? Why do you think the causes of abolitionism and women’s rights were so intertwined in the early years of these movements? What do you think the reformers accomplished or failed to accomplish? This assignment should be at least 300 words and contain your reactions or questions about some specific issue within the historical narrative which you find compelling. For full credit, your paper must not simply sum up the reading or repeat points made there. Rather, I’m looking for you to create your own interpretation, explain the emotional content of the piece, or discuss some original insight. Include citations as needed.

PSYC410 College of San Mateo The Carpenter Case Study Paper
INSTRUCTIONS: Read the case study information provided below. Based on the information provided here, decide what the diagnosis for this individual is and then list it in the appropriate formats of DSM-IV and 5. Below each axis, include a listing of the criteria that you are noting from the case that you are using to support your diagnosis (unless you selected None for any of the diagnostic areas). For the DSM-IV section, if you believe that any of the axes do not have anything to list, then state None (rather than N/A or rather than leaving it blank - think of it as a legal document in which you would not leave anything blank). NOTE: Considering yourself in the role of a therapist (not a MD). So, if you list any medical issues, you must stick with the language of the case as it is described here. (For example, if you see a listing of information that makes you think the person might have diabetes, you must list the information, not diabetes - as you are not a medical doctor and cannot make that particular diagnosis.) CASE STUDY: “THE CARPENTER”Chris is a shy, anxious-looking, 31-year old carpenter who has been hospitalized after making suicide attempt by putting his head in a plastic bag. He asks to meet with the psychiatrist in a darkened room. He is wearing a baseball cap pulled down over his forehead and partially covering his eyes. Looking down at the floor, Chris says he has no friends, has just been fired from his job, and was recently rejected by his girlfriend. When the psychiatrist asks Chris to elaborate, he replies, “It’s really hard to talk about this, Doctor. I don’t know if I can. It’s too embarrassing. Well, I guess I should tell you…after all, I’m in the hospital because of it. It’s my nose.” “Your nose?” the psychiatrist asks. “Yes, these huge pockmarks on my nose. They’re grotesque! I look like a monster. I’m as ugly as the Elephant Man! These marks on my nose are all I can think about. I’ve thought about them every day for the past 15 years. I even have nightmares abut them. And I think that everyone can see them and that they laugh at me because of them. That’s why I wear this hat all the time. And that’s why I couldn’t talk to you in a bright room…you’d see how ugly I am.”The psychiatrist couldn’t see the huge pockmarks that Chris was referring to, even when she later met him in a brightly lit room. Chris is, in fact, a handsome man with normal-appearing facial pores. The psychiatrist says, “I see no ugly pockmarks. Is it possible that your view of your appearance is distorted, that may be the pockmarks are just normal-looking facial pores?” “That’s a hard question to answer,” Chris replies. “I’ve pretty much kept this preoccupation a secret because it’s so embarrassing. I’m afraid people with think I’m vain. But I’ve told a few people about it, and they’ve tried to convince me that the pores really aren’t visible. Sometimes I sort of believe them. I think I probably am distorting and that they’re not so bad. Then I look in the mirror and see that they’re huge and ugly, and I’m convinced that people laugh at them. Then no one can talk me out of it. When people try to, I think they just feel sorry for me and that they’re trying to make me feel better. This has affected me in a lot of ways, Doctor,” Chris adds. “It may be hard for you to believe, but this problem has ruined my life. All I can think about is my face. I spend hours a day looking at the marks in the mirror. But I just can’t resist. I started missing more and more work, and I stopped going out with my friends and my girlfriend. I got so anxious when people looked at me that I started staying in the house most of the time. Sometimes when I did go out, I went through red lights so I wouldn’t have to sit at the light where people might be staring at me. The hat helped a little but it didn’t cover all the marks. I tried covering them with makeup for awhile, but I thought people could see the makeup so that didn’t really help. The only time I really felt comfortable was when I wore my nephew’s Batman mask on Halloween. Then no one could see the marks. I missed so much work that I was fired. My girlfriend stuck it out with me for a long time, but she finally couldn’t take it anymore. One thing that was really hard for her was that I started asking her about 50 times a day whether I looked okay and whether she could see the marks. I think that was the last straw. If I had a choice, I’d rather have cancer. It must be less painful. This is like an arrow through my heart.”Chris went on to discuss the fact that he had seen a dermatologist to request a plastic surgery procedure, but was refused the procedure because, “the dermatologist said there was nothing there.” He finally convinced another dermatologist to do the procedure but thought it did not help. Eventually he felt so desperate over the supposed marks that he made two suicide attempts. His most recent attempt occurred after he looked in the mirror and was horrified by what he saw. He told the psychiatrist, “I saw how awful I looked, and I thought, I’m not sure it’s worth it to go on living if I have to look like this and think about this all the time.” His first suicide attempt had also led to hospitalization; Chris was so ashamed of his concern and thought it wouldn’t be taken seriously, that he kept it secret and told the staff only that he was depressed.For the case study described below, create a multi-axial diagnosis. List what you would diagnose for each of the 5 axes & briefly explain (with examples) your reasoning for each selection you make:AXIS I: _________________________________If you listed anything on Axis I, explain your reason for this specific choice by listing and discussing the criteria for the disorder you selected as well as the symptoms or details from the case here that you felt exemplified this criteria and disorder. AXIS II: _________________________________If you listed anything on Axis II, explain your reason for this specific choice by listing and discussing the criteria for the disorder you selected as well as the symptoms or details from the case here that you felt exemplified this criteria and disorder. AXIS III: _________________________________If you listed anything on Axis III, explain your reason for this specific choice by listing the details from the case that you believe are clear medical issues (remember to not "diagnose" medical issues - stick to the details within the case only). AXIS IV: _________________________________Explain your reason for this specific choice (Note: Think of axis IV as within the past 6-12 months):AXIS V: _________________________________Explain your reason for this specific choice (briefly describe why you selected the particular GAF score that you did, by discussing the indicators of severity - or lack of severity).
