Write a 3­­-5 page paper that focuses on the issue of electroshock. You should summarize your issue, including the debate that exists surrounding that issue, and weigh in with an informed opinion. Be sure to refer to at least five peer reviewed sources (books are great sources and you should use them, but NB that they’re not peer reviewed).

Reminder:

There is a book we are reading in class called Mad Matters with a chapter on electroshock called “Electroshock: Torture as “Treatment” by Don Weitz. It talks about the procedure, the effects, and some future recommendations. I’ve attached pictures of the chapter so you can read it.

There’s also a good movie that features a psychiatric survivor called Lowdown Tracks. You don’t have to watch the entire thing, just the two parts where he discusses his experiences with electroshock, which are at 9:30 and then again at 23:30. Please include this source OR the book, with the 5 other peer reviewed journals in the essay.

Here’s the link to the movie: http://tvo.org/video/documentaries/lowdown-tracks-…

Essay 2 — THE JAZZ AGE (PLEASE READ AND CITE ALL THREE READINGS)

Actions for Essay 2 — THE JAZZ AGE

Your question for this essay is: The Jazz Age of the 1920s is often seen as the beginning of modern times, especially for young people. Young women’s skirt lengths rose, hair styles went from bun to bob, chaperones vanished as automobiles became more common, and dance clubs emerged in cities and large towns. These are just a few of the changes that shocked social standards. Explain the principal transitions that produced the so-called Jazz Age as well as the specific results of each transition as they affected women.

Begin by thinking. You’ve read the assignments that provide the answers. What information in those articles addresses this question? Focus on that information exclusively trying to avoid unrelated information that will not help you answer the question. Think about the question, itself, the issues it raises, and how you can answer it succinctly. Remember, the guidance bolded in the first paragraph. The point is the only thing that matters both for your essay and for your essay’s grade. I will be looking for the quality of your argument, the evidence you provide, and your particular interpretation of that evidence. Quantity doesn’t count. Imagination is not appropriate. Creativity steers you away from the point. So don’t waste your time and mine. Stay on point.

In the research study titled Prevalence of psychiatric disorders in New Zealand prisons: A national study, the authors Brinded, Simpson, Laidlaw, Fairley and Malcolm (2001) review how widespread the presence of mental health issues in New Zealand prisons are. All female prisoners, all males that were in the New Zealand justice system as either on bail or in custody, and 18% of all males that were sentenced and in prison. The 18% of selected males were chosen randomly by number tables and then categorized by severity of their charge, due to the more severe the charge the higher probability that a mental illness is prevalent. Interviews were then given with informed consent, demographic data collection, the diagnostic interview for mental illness (CIDI-A), screening diagnostic interview for relevant personality disorders (PDQ 4+), and questions about suicide and suicidal thoughts. The CIDI-A was then scored using the DSM-IV for comparison and identification for mental disorders (Brinded, Simpson, Laidlaw, Fairley & Malcolm, 2001).

This study found that there are great many prisoners with mental health disorders in the New Zealand prisons including, but not limited to, substance abuse, major depression, bi-polar disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder. This study also found that while a large number (80.8%) of patients with bi-polar disorder are receiving treatment and less than half of patients with other mental disorders are receiving treatment, not all inmates receive treatment for the mental health disorders while incarcerated in the prison system in New Zealand (Brinded, Simpson, Laidlaw, Fairley & Malcolm, 2001).

I feel that the most important part of this study is not that there are many inmates with mental disabilities in the prison system of New Zealand, but that there are many prisoners that go untreated for their mental condition. This information can be used to show the vast numbers of inmates that are suffering with their mental health. It could also be used to strengthen the idea that more programs and treatment options are needed for inmates. If the treatment options are expanded for inmates, then the possibility of suicide among inmates could be reduced (Brinded, Simpson, Laidlaw, Fairley & Malcolm, 2001).

final thesis statement and outline for your Comparative Politics
Project. In the outline show where you will insert your research
quotations and citations.

Chose only one of the questions below to discuss as the topic of your research paper:

1. USA. “18 Million May Lose Insurance After Repeal, Study Finds By ROBERT PEAR
   • The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said that repealing major provisions of the Affordable Care Act would cost 18 million people their insurance in the first year.
   • The number of uninsured Americans would increase to 32 million in 10 years, while causing insurance premiums to double over that time.”
2. Nigeria. Read your textbook’s chapter on Nigeria in West Africa. Answer the question: “How have the frequent shifts from civilian to military rule and back again exacerbated Nigeria’s social and economic problems? What direction do you feel Nigeria should take in the future? Explain.”
3. Mexico. Read your textbook’s chapter on Mexico in Central America. Answer the question: “How and why did forces undermining the PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party) emerge, culminating in the victory of Vicente Fox of PAN (the National Action Party). In political terms, where do you feel Mexico should go in the future?”

Develop a Thesis

The last part of your thesis should include a “seed” of thought to indicate where you stand on the question. For an example of a thesis, please see Guidelines for Writing Research Papers located in the Course Materials folder.

Conduct Research

Research your textbook plus at least two other sources from your college’s online library or your local community library. Gather 4-6 or more quotations or citations, using APA style. After you gather your research documentation, revise your thesis as needed to fit the facts.

Former psychologists before Walter Mischel believed a person’s personality traits were thought to be normally unwavering after a period of time; thus making one believe an individual would allow themselves to react to situations in primarily the same way. This was until psychologist Walter Mischel began looking at the size of the relations between a person’s behavior across situations and their variability. Mischel argued that based upon a person’s personality traits, predicting an outcome based on their personality alone was mostly unwarranted .Mischel credited correlation coefficient ‘r’ as the predictor of how variables correlate to one another, The coefficient is based off a 1.0 correlation. Mischel claimed that such correlations involving traits were around 0.30 or slightly higher. (Friedman & Schustack, 2012).

An example of this would be if two company employees one introverted and the other extroverted were asked to present a detailed presentation for incoming corporate representatives. It may be thought that the better speaker would be the extroverted employee. Yet on the day of the presentation the introverted employee was better prepared and gave a more through and vibrant presentation than the extroverted and outgoing employee. According to Friedman &Schustack (2012) personality is sometimes viewed as a “transaction” that blends an individual’s unique and personal ways in order to merge it with the styles of others. Psychologist Gordon Allport was thought to share views of Mischel’s such as his thoughts on that all traits are not equally relevant to all people. For example, people that take risks such as mountain climbers may be ready to start a new job but remain anxious throughout the process. Having a high risk-taking personality doesn’t necessarily mean it will apply to all situations.
