Policy Position on Alternative Punishments

I’m studying for my Law class and need an explanation.

You are in charge of programming for your state’s Department of Corrections. With the prison population continuing to rise and consistently high recidivism rates, the governor has instructed you to look outside the United States for alternatives. You and your team will look at several countries and compare their incarceration and recidivism data with those of the United States. The goal is to determine whether there are punishment alternatives or in-prison programs that could help reduce recidivism.

Choose one of the following countries and report on its data: Brazil, Japan, Norway, Egypt, or South Africa.

  • How does the country you chose compare to the United States in terms of incarceration rate? Explain.
  • How does the country you chose compare to the United States in terms of recidivism? Explain.
  • What punishment alternatives exist in the country you chose? Does that country engage in corporal punishment?
  • Does the other country offer any type of restorative justice or other innovation that could be beneficial if adopted in the United States?
  • Describe the role of the “classification officer” in a US prison. Also explain how this officer can influence recidivism.

10-1 Discussion: Typical vs. Atypical Development

I need help with a Psychology question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

Throughout this course, we have explored different aspects of development, and research has presented a variety of influences in the form of biological, social, emotional, and cognitive domains. At the end of nearly every chapter reading, a holistic position began to emerge that acknowledges the contribution by each domain. In our final discussion, reflect on whether a holistic approach is just as effective for accounting for atypical development as it is for typical development. Utilize examples from the course to support your position, or consider using an issue of atypical development to provide context (e.g., autism or antisocial behavior).

In response to your peers, provide your own perspective on their position, utilizing evidence from the course.

To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric document.

AFTER RESPONDING TO THE INITIAL POST, PLEASE ALSO RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING TWO STUDENTS REGARDING THE SAME TOPIC!


STUDENT ONE:

In our final discussion, reflect on whether a holistic approach is just as effective for accounting for atypical development as it is for typical development. Utilize examples from the course to support your position, or consider using an issue of atypical development to provide context (e.g., autism or antisocial behavior).

A holistic approach addresses the entire person, including their physical, mental, and emotional health, while considering social factors. Using a holistic approach can be a combination of conventional and alternative treatments (Shaffer & Kipp, 2014).

I did my final project on speech and language disorders. I believe in a holistic approach to speech and language therapeutic intervention. Holistic means that it takes into account the whole child or person, not just their speech output, or language skills, but why they are having these speech-language difficulties.

Typical Development

Speech and language developmental milestones are dependent on the age of the child. The child’s physician needs to have an understanding of these milestones to determine whether children have a delay in speech or language. Normal speech develops through stages of cooing, babbling, words, and word combinations, while normal language develops through stages of understanding and expressing more complicated concepts. Development of proficiency in vocabulary and language use depends profoundly on family and early school experiences. Families can help their children’s language development by telling stories, playing word games, reciting rhymes and songs, engaging in questions and conversation, and reading books together (Speech and Language Delay, 2018).

Atypical Development

Those children who do not meet the expected developmental milestones for speech and language, a comprehensive developmental evaluation is essential. Atypical language development can be a secondary characteristic of other physical and developmental problems that may first manifest as language problems. Some of the many conditions that can account for speech and language problems in children which can be; autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, childhood apraxia of speech, dysarthria, hearing loss after spoken language established, and hearing loss before onset of speech. These can be divided into primary speech and language problems, in which no other cause can be found and secondary speech and language problems, which are regarded as being caused by another condition (Speech and Language Delay, 2018).

Often the why of why we are who we are is not considered when planning speech therapy – what does it matter? It matters because this knowledge allows the practitioner to use a personal approach tailored to that individual. And that makes all the difference. Using a multi-modality therapy approach such as using auditory, visual stimulation, sensory integration, humor, trust, and love can create successful communication.

STUDENT TWO:

A holistic approach to child development seeks to simultaneously address the physical, emotional, relational, intellectual, and spiritual aspects of a child’s life. The importance of the Holistic Approach is that it Children learn different things at different stages, e.g. walking, talking, fine motor skills etc. Holistic development is the overall development of all areas of development in children.

To support holistic development take a child’s passion and turn it into a learning opportunity! Create a comfortable and safe environment for children to connect and be themselves in. Make it inviting with the use of color, child-friendly furniture, interest corners, and areas for individuals, small groups, and space for creative play. The biggest benefit of a holistic approach isn’t just about mental development, but it encompasses psychological, social and emotional growth. A holistic approach motivates children to learn about a subject. It instills curiosity and allows children to learn naturally and creatively. Holistic education places the child at the center of learning and seeks to develop multiple aspects of the pupil so that they can effectively engage with the world in which they live.

The development of face recognition can be disrupted either by atypical experience, such as by early visual deprivation, or atypical developmental constraints found in some developmental disorders. For example, “visual deprivation in early infancy due to congenital cataracts prevents the system from later developing configural recognition of faces” (Le Grand et al., 2004) and “atypical face encoding has been found in neuro-genetic disorders such as FragileX and Turner syndrome” (Garret, Menon, McKenzie & Reiss, 2004; Lawrence, Kuntsi, Coleman, Campbell, & Skuse, 2003). The following three developmental disorders bear particular relevance to the development of holistic processing in face recognition.

I’m trying to learn for my Management class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

The role of a financial accounting manager is to oversee the operations of the department to facilitate the analysis and monitoring of data. A management information system (MIS) plays an important part in guiding the decisions of the financial accounting department. The learning objectives and concepts presented in the course relay that MIS can significantly impact a firm’s performance, functions, and productivity. Therefore, using MIS to lead a team in the financial accounting department will ensure that appropriate information is collected from various sources and distributed to the right individuals. Hence, as a manager, I would utilize the system to help my team access required data in time to meet its objectives.

Additionally, as a financial accounting manager, I can use MIS to keep track of and monitor operations within the department to ensure that the employees are functioning to their full potential. I can also use the MIS to study consumer behavior and give members of the department important data and probable trends (Sakthivel, 2014). Therefore, the team can be able to forecast long-term perspectives and contribute to the decision making process. Creating a disciplined data reporting system establishes knowledge and database for all employees working within the financial department. Access to such information allows easy blending and analysis which will save time and resources.

As a manager, I would utilize the MIS to ensure that all employees are performing to expectations. I would use the system to make decisions based on the data available. Moreover, I would avail this data to members of my department to enable them contribute to decision making processes to help us meet the targets of the business.

about early world history (350 words)

I need support with this History question so I can learn better.

After reading chapters one and two, pleas pick from one of the following option. This week we will be learning about Prehistory, and then the first complex civilization of Mesopotamia and Egypt. Then you can do either Option A on Cave Art and Venus Figurines, Option B on Ancient Mesopotamia or Option C on Egypt, or Option D on women in Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Option A: For option A this week, after reading Chapter One (Prehistory) in Early World History: An Interactive Text, and view the art work and read the descriptions at:

http://www.bradshawfoundation.com/chauvet/ (Links to an external site.)

http://www.unl.edu/rhames/courses/current/venus1.pdf (Links to an external site.)

Finally, post a thoughtful response of at least 350 words (you can always write it in a Word document then copy and paste so you can keep track of the length but also so you have a copy in case Canvas is malfunctioning or attach it – whichever you prefer) to the following questions on the discussion board. What are the theories about the significance of cave art and the Venus figurines? What do the art and sculptures tell us about the societies that created them? What might early prehistoric religion have been like? Tell me what you think the “religion” would been like and why. Then, explain what, if anything, can we say about the position of women from viewing the Venus Figurines? Relate the material to our Early World History cd textbook and readings. Please remember, I am expecting to see examples, quotes, or paraphrased (but cited) information from the readings/listening material (and any other information you would like to share). You may include images in your posts. Respond to 1 of your peers, keeping in mind my requirements for these responses (see syllabus).

The following cc videos are optional but may enhance your understanding of the importance of the cave art:

Option B. Using our text and the following websites, discuss the religion and society of Mesopotamia. What type of religion did they have, what gods did they have, what type of personalities did the gods have, and how did the religion impact the development of the society and reinforce the power system? Why do you think this very ancient civilization had the type of beliefs that it did? Of what importance were the priests and the buildings known as ziggurats? What was offered at the ziggurats? What was the relationship of the people to their gods? Why did they believe people were created and what could they expect after death?

http://ancienthistory.about.com/cs/nemythology/a/mesopotamiarel.htm (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

This cc videos are optional, but I think you will enjoy. Mesopotamia is important for so many reasons. It is the first complex civilization and deserves far more attention than it usually gets. Sadly there are few good documentaries in English either. One of you needs to become a famous archeologist and documentary film producer for this region:

Option C: Egypt: Using the following websites and our book, please describe the religion of Egypt and how it related to/helped build and organize their society. What was the mummification process, discuss why the Egyptians mummified their dead including some information on their religious beliefs, and analyze some consequences such a strong emphasis on death and the afterlife had on the development of Egyptian art, architecture, and political power. How do you account for the development from simple cave based rituals and Venus figurines to such highly sophisticated beliefs and practices — do you think we are seeing the same fears/concerns/desires driving the development of more complex religion and social systems or is something really new happening?

There are millions of documentaries on Egypt. It is hard to pick just one. If any of the following cc options are of interest, enjoy!

Option D: This is an option I developed a few semesters ago in response to student interest. I am curious to read your thoughts on the position of women in Egypt and Mesopotamia. Last week, we discussed Venus Figurines and entertained the possibility that women may, according to some scholars, have been more powerful or treated more equally in prehistoric cultures than we might expect. Of course, not everyone viewed the Venus Figurines as a sign of female power or equality, other scholars interpret the artifacts to mean that women were only valued for fertility or sexuality. For this option, after reading, listening, also look at the following websites where short readings on the subject are available: http://history-world.org/egypt_and_mesopotamia_com…

http://www.womeninworldhistory.com/lesson2.html

http://history-world.org/Civilization,%20women_in_…

https://www.library.cornell.edu/colldev/mideast/wo…

Then discuss and analyze the roles of women, and their power or lack of such, in Mesopotamia and Egypt. What were they valued for and why? If you think there was a drop in status, what do you think caused it? Compare what you learn with what we discussed regarding the Venus figurines.

This optional video is about elite women:
