You are required to view a contemporary, original piece of art in your area and
compare/contrast it to an ancient work from your text, after analyzing both pieces. For
example, if you choose a portrait of a leader, find one in your text; if you choose a building,
like a church, find one in your text to compare.
Note: If a museum is not available, try your public library, local community college, or an art
gallery for sculptures, parks for statues, or government buildings for paintings. Also, don’t
forget that architecture is an art form. Look around for a church or an interesting building.
Art is everywhere!
Your paper should address the following:

  1. Identification: Provide Identifying details for each work (10 points = 5 points for each
    work):
    Artist: Who was the artist?
    Title of the work: What is the title of the work?
    Date: When was the work created?
    Media: How/with what was the work created?
    Location: Where is the work from your area displayed? For the work from your
    text, please also include the page number.
  2. Description: What does each work look like? (100 points = 50 points for each work):
    Describe the subject matter of each work, in detail. Imagine you are describing
    the work to a blind person; use that level of detail. For example, don’t just say
    there’s a house in a field.
    Identify and discuss five formal elements of art (Choose from line, shape, color,
    texture, space, contrast, scale, balance, and emphasis) in detail, for each work.
    For instance, don’t just tell me there were lines in the work, tell me what kind
    (straight, curved, horizontal, diagonal, thick, thin, implied, etc.) and tell me how
    they affect the composition (lines dominate the left half of the work, etc.).
  3. Compare and Contrast the two (2) works (70 points):
    Compare and contrast the works (Do not compare the terms from part 2), and
    answer these questions in your analysis: How are the works similar and how

    are they different? Is the message or function the same? Is the intended
    audience different? Do they look alike or not? Has the meaning changed over
    time?
    Also discuss such things as symbolism and purpose (aesthetic, social
    commentary, propaganda, etc.) and evaluate the effectiveness of the works.

Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior

Posted on | by Brian Leakey

Write an essay on consequence-based intervention (Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior). Use the articles attached and describe/synthesize how that treatment could be applied/utilized to improve a target behavior that should be skill building.
Ideally, you will select this based on the need for a client you see within a current setting (I work in a preschool setting), however, if that is not relevant to you, please select an antecedent intervention you would like to learn more about. Ideally the same client and behavior you targeted for the unit 5 assignment.

• Describe the consequence-based intervention – 2 points
• Describe the target behavior – 2 points
• Discuss how improvement would benefit the client/individual – 2 points
• Review the literature/current research – 2 points

Ephemeral nature of our existence

Posted on | by Brian Leakey

Then choose ONE of the questions below to answer. Answer the question you chose in a response that is a minimum of 1-2 paragraphs.

When you talk about the meaning of life, which sense of the term do you use– external meaning or internal meaning?
What bearing, if any, does the ephemeral nature of our existence have on the question of whether life has meaning? Does the fact that we die negate the possibility of meaning in life?
Is Schopenhauer right about the meaninglessness of life? Does the wretchedness of our existence show that life has no meaning?

Research designs

Posted on | by Brian Leakey

Different research designs and methods are employed based on the
topic, the research problem, and the purpose of the study, and the
research questions. Clarity of choice is necessary to develop a viable
and feasible study. Making selections about how to set up a study and
plan a course of action to collect and analyze data is not random or
haphazard. The choices that students are required to make must be
thoughtful and systematic to maintain alignment and methodological
congruence throughout the research process. This week, students will
demonstrate their understanding of components that are critical to the
alignment process.
This week, you will develop a white paper that will serve as an
educational tool to engage, inform, and convince your audience about
the significance of alignment in qualitative research, and the critical
importance of achieving “methodological congruence”. To offer support,
you are provided with an explanation of the function and structure of a
white paper (Spotlight on Skills).
You will accomplish several tasks with this assignment:
Step 1. Begin your paper by defining and explaining what alignment
means, and why this is so important. Explain the implications of
alignment, as well as the lack thereof. Remember, the purpose of a
white paper is to provide a convincing argument so that your audience
will clearly understand, and buy into your claims.

CASE STUDY: Caregiver Role Strain: Ms. Sandra A.

Posted on | by admin3

 

 

Sandra, a 47-year-old divorced woman, received a diagnosis of stage 3 ovarian cancer 4 years
ago, for which she had a total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo- oophorectomy, omentectomy,
lymphadenectomy, and tumor debulking followed by chemotherapy, consisting of cisplatin
(Platinol), paclitaxel (Taxol), and doxorubicin (Adriamycin). She did well for 2 years and then
moved back to her hometown near her family and underwent three more rounds of secondline chemotherapy. She accepted a less stressful job, bought a house, renewed old friendships,
and became more involved with her two sisters and their families.
Sandra developed several complications, including metastasis to the lungs. Then she could no
longer work, drive, or care for herself. She had been told by her oncologist that there was
nothing else that could be done and that she should consider entering a hospice. She met her
attorney and prepared an advance directive and completed her will. She decided to have
hospice care at home and, with the help of her family, set up her first floor as a living and
sleeping area. She was cared for by family members around the clock for approximately 3 days.
Sandra observed that she was tiring everyone out so much that they could not really enjoy each
other’s company. At this time, she contacted the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) to seek
assistance. Her plan was to try to enjoy her family and friend’s visits. After assessment, the VNA
nurse prioritized her problems to include fatigue and caregiver role strain. Other potential
problem areas that may need to be incorporated into the care plan include anticipatory grieving
and impaired comfort.
Reflective Questions
1. What are some of the stresses on Sandra’s middle-aged sisters and their families?
2. What resources are available to manage these stresses and support the sisters while
caring for their dying sister Sandra?
3. Describe Sandra’s feelings about dependency and loss of autonomy because she is
unable to do her own activities of daily living any longer
