Method validation, indigenous cultural studies, and cross-cultural comparisons

/in /by

Response to this You provided great information on the types of research methods. method validation, indigenous cultural studies, and cross-cultural comparisons. What is a specific example of how you would research a cultural issue using one of the three research methods you discussed?

Psychologists have the opportunity to work with very diverse populations, not only to provide clinical services but also to conduct research. I have learned over the years that community-based research projects are much needed in many underserved populations. These underserved population communities experience many of the same problems as other communities, however, the resources needed to solve these problems unfortunately tend to be more limited. One idea to promote these community-based research projects would be to collaborate with community leaders. They are a great source of information. Often times in these underserved communities, areas of concern/interest tend to center around the community’s youth and substance abuse-related issues. An indigenous cultural study would be a method well-fitted for a community-based research project. Any thoughts?

Emotional and social development

/in /by

Larnaka is four years old and has been diagnosed with a communication disorder called dyspraxia which affects her speech (no movement issues). Larnaka understands what she is wanting to communicate and confidently interacts verbally with others, however, her speech is unclear and difficult to understand by both children and other adults. Larnaka has been observed more recently playing by herself and her interactions with others are becoming less. The other children are often heard saying “I don’t know what she wants”. You are very concerned about both her emotional and social development.

1. Give three examples of how this communication disorder may affect other areas of development?
2. Identify two theorists that advocate the importance of developing a sense of belonging.
3. Use these two theories to develop two strategies you would implement to strengthen Larnika’s sense of belonging.
4. Identify one piece of information which would be useful to exchange with Larnika’s family to assist her sense of belonging at the center and support her learning needs.
5. Give two examples of strategies you could use to develop this relationship with the family.

Challenge of Cultural Relativism

/in /by

On page three of James Rachel’s the Challenge of Cultural Relativism, he lists six claims made by cultural relativists to support the concept of cultural relativism. Choose the claim you think is the strongest and explain why you think it is the strongest claim AND chose the one you think is the weakest claim. So, to be extra clear, you will be unpacking two different claims in this discussion board. You cannot choose #1 for either because it is simply a fact.

Evaluate and critique the various counseling theories/approaches

/in /by

You are asked to analyze, evaluate and critique the various counseling theories/approaches covered in your textbook. Please do not simply summarize each theory or simply quote the authors. Rather, evaluate and critique the theory’s view of human nature, its key concepts, the therapeutic process it lays out and the techniques and procedures it applies. Identify with rationale, aspects of each theory/approach you tend to incorporate into your own developing philosophical and applied approach to counseling.

This paper should not be opinion based; you must demonstrate sufficient research and ability to apply the research as a counselor. Each reaction paper body will be between 5-7 pages in length (typed and double-spaced) in proper APA format This paper will focus on the theories covered in chapters 10 (Feminist Theory and Therapy) and 11 (Constructive Theory and Therapy)

You may want your paper to emphasize one of the theories over the others because it is particularly meaningful or relevant to your goals as a counselor. This is acceptable, provided that you still address all theories covered for that assignment, dedicating at least one page to each theory within your paper. Also, elaborate on the application of the theories and techniques and discussing their differences in concept and practice.

Transitioning from cybersecurity to physical security

/in /by

Transitioning from cybersecurity to physical security, this module examines how our nation’s critical infrastructure is affected by the vulnerable cyber technology that controls its daily functions.

In his 2012 Defcon 20 cybersecurity conference presentation, Dan Tentler, founder of the San Diego-based information security consulting firm AtenLabs, shared screenshots of dozens of connected devices he could find on the Internet using a laptop and browser. He was able to access several critical infrastructure systems, showing that they were vulnerable to cyber-attack. His presentation vividly demonstrated that the Internet was not designed with security in mind.

Network-ready industrial control systems that monitor and control the physical processes of machines have become the instruments that contribute to a threat we call physical security. The machines we rely on to supply energy, drinking water, and safe food are at risk. The potential security weakness of SCADA systems was exposed by a cyber-attack against the Natanz Iran uranium enrichment facility. A computer worm, called Stuxnet, caused the facility’s control systems to make the centrifuges spin out of control. Stuxnet, a cyber-weapon that changed modern warfare, does not discriminate between nations; it simply attacks and destroys computer-managed machines.
