Discussion: Sexual Assault and Partner Violence

/in /by

I’m studying for my Psychology class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

Sexual Assault (e.g., rape, acquaintance rape, sexual abuse, unwanted sexual contact) can be defined in many different ways, depending on the jurisdiction in which it occurs. However, generally speaking, sexual assault occurs when a sexual act is forced upon a person who did not or cannot give consent. Sexual assault often conjures intense feelings of guilt and shame among survivors. Making matters worse, survivors often know their attacker, which adds to the psychological devastation of sexual assault. In some, but not all, instances, attackers might be acquaintances, friends, or even significant others. While there might be a relationship between sexual assault survivors and attackers, particularly in the case of acquaintance rape, partner violence (e.g., battering, domestic violence), by definition, involves a relationship.

Aside from the definitions of sexual assault and partner violence, how do they differ from one another? How are they the same? In this Discussion, you will compare social, cultural, and psychological dynamics of partner violence and sexual assault. Then, you will analyze potential treatment barriers survivors of sexual assault and partner violence might encounter.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Pay particular attention to the social, cultural, personal, and psychological dynamics of sexual assault and partner violence. Think about the ways in which the social, cultural, and psychological dynamics of sexual assault and partner violence are similar and different.
  • Consider the potential barriers related to sexual assault and partner violence intervention.
  • Keeping the dynamics of sexual assault and partner violence in mind, identify one potential barrier that survivors might encounter when seeking and engaging in treatment.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4

Post a comparison of sexual assault and partner violence. In your comparison, be sure to describe at least two ways in which the social, cultural, and/or psychological dynamics of sexual abuse and partner violence are similar and two ways in which they are different. Then, describe one potential barrier survivors of sexual assault and/or partner violence might encounter when seeking and engaging in treatment. Be specific.

Most traditional musical traditions in Sub-Saharan Africa reflect the social structure of the people who create it. Societal structure can vary greatly between different ethnic groups. Compare and contrast the social systems of the hierarchical Mande of West Africa and the egalitarian BaMbuti pygmies of the Congo region. How are these different social systems reflected in the musical traditions of the Mande and BaMbuti?

Your discussion post should be around 150 words , cover all of the topic points , and be submitted on time . You are also required to respond to at least one of your fellow classmate’s posts , and give constructive feedback and/or pose questions that are relevant to the discussion topics.

Criminal Procedure in Motion

/in /by

I’m studying and need help with a Law question to help me learn.

Competencies Addressed in This Assignment

  • Competency 3: Explain the substantive and procedural interpretation of individual freedoms based on case analysis.
  • Competency 4: Document philosophical underpinnings and public policy influences associated with U.S. Supreme Court decisions.
  • Competency 5: Communicate effectively in writing.

Legal research serves as a gateway to locate cases that interpret key areas of substantive and procedural criminal law. From there, understanding how to read the case is integral to using the case for guidance on parameters. The issue is the question presented to the court for review. That question is based on whether what took place at the trial can be challenged as incorrect and impacting the outcome of the case. The appellate court, in reaching the decision, includes the law relied on as support for the decision. That includes statutory law, from legislatures, and other court rulings, where prior courts interpreted the law.

Using Nexis Uni, searching in the U.S. Supreme Court directory, locate one case involving a criminal procedure issue. Searching law in your state, locate one case involving any criminal law issue.

In a 4–5 page paper:

  • Identify the key facts from each case and the issues presented to the courts.
  • Describe the laws relied on by the courts in reaching the decisions.
  • Illustrate the connection between that authority and the way the courts ruled.
  • Explain the interpretations of constitutional protections based on the decisions.
  • Describe philosophical underpinnings and public policy influences.
  • Relate the importance of conducting this case analysis to a criminal justice career.

Be sure to review the Criminal Procedure in Motion Scoring Guide to ensure that you understand the criteria for this assignment.

Use the links provided in the Resources to help you complete the assignment.

Requirements

  • Written communication: Must be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
  • Resources and citations: Format according to APA guideline.
  • Required page count: 4–5, not including the title page or the references page.
  • Required number of references: A minimum of three.
  • Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.

I will pay for the following article The Influence of Self-Concept on Self-Efficacy. The work is to be 7 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. The concept of self-efficacy emphasizes self-belief and confidence in one’s own capabilities and competence. Ever since the concept of self-efficacy took form, many studies have explored its role in educational success. It is now a proven fact that self-efficacy is an important mediator of academic achievement. This paper attempts to evaluate some studies and research evidence that support this claim. The implications of the findings of these studies for teachers and instructors are also discussed.

A person’s belief in his/her capabilities in exercising “control over events” affecting his/her life is the central idea of self-efficacy (Bandura, 1989, p. 1175). According to Bandura, self-efficacy induces “motivation” that in turn leads to “effect” which then gives rise to “action”. Human cognitive processes are affected by self-belief, influencing thought patterns that may either aid or hinder progress. People tend to aspire higher if they have a stronger self-efficacy, and so, they tend to achieve better than those who have weaker self-efficacy. It thus acts as a strong motivator. When faced with a difficult task, people tend to either master it or avoid doing it. Those who attempt a seemingly difficult task and succeed in it, gain an increase in self-efficacy, and their fear and tendency to avoid the task reduce significantly (Bandura, 1977, p. 191). Self-efficacy is an important determinant of academic performance as students whose experiences raise their self-efficacy set higher goals and are more mentally conditioned to acquire those goals. Thus, in contrast to students lacking self-efficacy, students with higher self-efficacy tend to achieve higher as they believe in their own capabilities, estimate their strengths more accurately, and tend to utilize available resources more efficiently.

Studies by Zimmerman and Bandura (1994, as cited in Zimmerman, 2000, p. 87) on high school students show that the existence of higher self-efficacy as well as personal goal setting at the beginning of a term at school increased the prediction of final grades by 31%.

Education essay

Need help with my Writing question – I’m studying for my class.

The Biblical Worldview Assignment is course-embedded into every degree program i School of Educatio Its purpose is to carry out mission to provide an education with a solid Christian foundation and to ensure that every SOE program completer understands the implications of a biblical worldview forthe field of education. While there are other assignments that require candidates to write a personal philosophy of education, that is not necessarily the intent of this particular assignment. The goal of this activity is for candidates to accomplish the following:

• Convey an understanding of what is meant by a biblical worldview.

• Support and illustrate this understanding by citing the Bible and other literature on the topic of biblical worldview.

• Apply principles of a biblical worldview to educational practice.

• Articulate key components of a Christian philosophy of education, citing from the Bible and other literature on the topicof Christian philosophy of education.

Because the SOE embeds this assignment into every degree program—i.e., bachelor, master, education specialist (Ed.S.), and doctorate (Ed.D)—it is likely that candidates who earn multiple degrees from SOE will be required to complete the assignment multiple times. Especially in the Ed.S. and Ed.D. degrees, the Biblical Worldview Assignment may be required for more than one course. Candidates who are required to complete the assignment more than once may resubmit the initial assignment but are encouraged to revise as needed. For example, expectations for undergraduate and graduate writing levels are different; therefore, the composition of the paper may need to be strengthened with the repeated submission. Also, check the assignment directions and rubric to ensure that you are meeting the present course’s specific requirements.

This assignment advances mission by promoting “the synthesis of academic knowledge and Christian worldview in order that there might be a maturing of spiritual, intellectual, social and physical value-driven behavior” and by encouraging “a commitment to the Christian life, one of personal integrity, sensitivity to the needs of others, social responsibility and active communication of the Christian faith, and, as it is lived out, a life that leads people to Jesus Christ as the Lord of the universe and their own personal Savior.” Click on these links to learn more about LU’s Mission Statement and LU’s Doctrinal Stat

School of Education: This assignment advances the School of Education’s mission, which is “to develop competent professionals with a biblical worldview for Christian, public, and private schools.” Click on this link to learn more about the SOE Conceptual Framework.

Directions

Write a 4-page paper in current APA format that conveys yourunderstanding of what is meant by a biblical worldview and a Christian philosophy of education. Also, discuss the implications of these principles in their application to educational practice. Page length requirement begins with the introductory paragraph and ends with the conclusion; it includes neither the title page nor the reference page. An abstract is not required. In addition to the Bible, cite a minimum of four references that represent the body of literature supporting and explaining biblical worldview and Christian philosophy of education.No more than 10% of the paper is to include direct quotes; therefore, you should do much more summarizing and paraphrasing than quoting. Citations are required both for direct quotes and for summarized ideas drawn from references. The format of the paper is to include the sections below with headings that follow current APA format. Click on this link to view an APA Tips document with helpful hints for writing success.

• Title Page

• Introduction

Present a strong, clear thesis statement. The focus of this paragraph is to introduce the reader to the thesis statement. The remainder of the paper should support and illustrate the main point(s) of the thesis statement.

• Biblical Worldview

Based upon your readings of the Bible and literature on the topic of biblical worldview, convey a basic understanding of the elements of a worldview that is based distinctively on a perspective of life drawn from Judeo-Christian scriptures. Do not focus on the field of education in this section. A common error is for writers to neglect the discussion of a biblical worldview by focusing too much on the field of education, which is to be addressed in subsequent sections of the paper.

• Christian Philosophy of Education

Based upon your readings of the Bible and literature on the topic of Christian philosophy of education, convey a basic understanding of the elements of an educational philosophy that is based distinctively on a perspective drawn from Judeo-Christian scriptures. Address metaphysical and axiological issues. Metaphysical issues relate to questions of meaning and purpose. Axiological issues relate to questions of values. Minimize the discussion ofpractical application to the field of education in this section. A common error is for writers to neglect the discussion of a Christian philosophy of education by focusing too much on the implications for educational practice, which will be addressed in the subsequent section.

• Implications for Educational Practice

Discuss the implications of a biblical worldview and Christian philosophy for practical application to the overall field of education. Ensure that you discuss these implications for the field in general, but you may also proceed to specify implications for your particular area of interest. For example, if you are preparing to serve as a content area teacher, a special education teacher, an administrator, or a school counselor, you may—after addressing implications for the overall field of education—address implications for your area of service.

• Conclusion

An effective conclusion affirms the thesis statement and leaves the reader with a clear idea of how thoughts in the paper fit together to make a specific point.

• Reference Page

Cite the Bible in the body of the manuscript, but—per APA—the Bible and other classical or holy scriptures are not to be listed on the reference page. List here at least 4 references other than the Bible. One your references is to be the course textbook.Click on this APA Tips Documentfor details.
