Color and Emotion. We noted that we automatically associate certain emotions with certain colors (for example, bright, pure yellow is a “cheerful” color). This emotional-expressive content of colors provides a rich resource for artists to draw from in creating emotionally expressive works of visual art. We distinguished the question of which colors go with which emotions (the color yellow is cheerful) and the question of what explains why colors have the emotional-expressive meaning they do (why is yellow a cheerful color?). Find an artwork that relies on color to express or engage emotions. Focus on the use of one or two colors in the artwork you choose and address these two questions.

Use Images at the end of the paper (Credit the artist) and a brief comment on how it relates to the topic.

Bonus content – Stautzenberger College Assessment, Improvement, & Planning- PDF Attachment
In no more than three paragraphs for each question, answer the following question. Please provide quotes and references to the chapter, the article, the IAIP attachment, and one outside source.
How does your institution (Stautzenberger College) handle faculty recruitment and retention? Does it put its money where its mouth is? With these best practices learn, does your institution follow them?

Using one of the following referral case studies, develop and outline a comprehensive Functional Behavioral Assessment Report. The specific objective of your Functional Behavioral Assessment Report is to demonstrate synthesis of the course material related to FBA’s as they have been presented in the course. The FBA Report should be specifically related to only one of the following case scenarios.
Choose ONE of the following case scenarios for your Assignment:
A third-grade student in a public elementary school has been referred for behavior problems continuously for the past three months. This student is demonstrating consistently disruptive behaviors in this classroom and in other settings within the school (lunch, recess, specials, etc.). Disruptive behaviors have been termed “aggressive” and “non-compliant” by school staff.
Johnny is a six-year-old child with autism. His communication skills are significantly deficient, and he demonstrates a wide variety of problem behaviors.
Most concerning is the tendency for him to demonstrate self-injurious behavior that has recently increased in frequency and intensity. An emergency room visit was necessitated by a recent incident of this behavior. Some of Johnny’s more intense characteristics related to autism spectrum disorders include repetitive and ritualistic behavior patterns and an apparent need to collect and acquire a variety of specific tangible items, such as Hot Wheels cars and Legos. Johnny is generally only “well behaved” when access to these items is free and frequent.
Assignment Expectations
Utilize the Unit 9 Assignment Template as a model for your report.
At a minimum, your FBA Report must include discussion of the required components as reviewed at the beginning of Chapter 12.
For each of those components, you should include specific details as they relate to the referral scenario you are addressing. Details would include
descriiptions of the assessment tools, forms, and procedures that would have been implemented.
It is not necessary to report actual scores or responses of completed assessment forms and tools, but you should include some detailed information that could have been gained by utilizing such tools and procedures within the context of the case scenario you are working on. DO NOT simply list items.
It is not necessary, nor appropriate, to include ALL of the assessment tools, forms, and procedures reviewed in the course. Be judicious in your choices and make good clinical decisions on what assessment procedures you are including.
Develop hypotheses related to the function of the target behavior based on fictional specifics of the tools and procedures you have described in your report.
All tools, forms, and procedures reviewed in Units 1–9 should be considered when developing the components to be included in your FBA Report, but, as stated above, it is not necessary to include all of them.
It is expected that you will need to demonstrate “creativity” and/or “dramatic license” when outlining the steps of the Functional Behavioral Assessment.

“Eat your vegetables, there are starving children in [insert here: a nation believed to be less fortunate than your own].”
How many times have you heard some form of this phrase growing up? Maybe it was in your own home or maybe you heard it in the media. Aside from persuading people to be grateful for what is on their plate, what else might this statement be communicating? Does it make you wonder why there are starving children in the world? What opportunities might your parents have had compared to others that allowed them to make sure that you did not starve?
Inequality of resources and opportunities for everyone leads to a variety of social issues—poverty, homelessness, and inadequate health care—just to name a few. For those with access to fewer opportunities, many families encourage their children to seek different avenues that might allow them to exceed the lifestyle their parents provided. As a result, societies often focus on balancing access to opportunities to enable the less fortunate to move up the socioeconomic ladder toward greater self-sufficiency.
For this Discussion, you will examine the influence of inequality on the opportunity and social mobility. You also will explore the impact of policies on increasing equality and social mobility among members of society.
Post at least a 2-paragraph response to the following prompts:
Describe inequality in your own words.
Explain the impact of inequality on people’s lives.
Explain whether equality of opportunity within society is a reality. Explain why or why not.
Explain whether policies can be designed to ensure greater equality and improve social mobility among members of society. Explain why or why not.
Explain whether inequality is a contributing factor to your chosen social issue from Week 1.

Policies are put in place to not only manage processes but also to ensure fairness for all people impacted by the policies. Think about the recent pandemic.
To slow the spread of the virus and reduce hospitalizations, many governments required members of society to quarantine at home for a specified period of time. However, many jobs were deemed essential and those working in those positions were not required to stay at home. On one hand, these individuals were able to maintain their income, but they also were at increased risk of becoming infected. This was especially true for delivery drivers. Since most people
were not shopping in-person, delivery drivers experienced increased workloads, bringing them into greater contact with customers during a period of growing virus infections.
Since those whose jobs were not deemed essential were required to quarantine at home and those working in essential jobs could not quarantine without fear of losing their jobs, would you consider this policy a form of institutionalized discrimination?
Institutionalized discrimination involves policies and procedures that limit or prohibit access for certain people while still providing access for others. It occurs at the institutional rather than at the individual level.
For this assignment, you will consider examples of organizational policies and procedures and examine whether institutionalized discrimination exists. You also will explore who is affected by institutionalized discrimination and how institutions might change their policy or approach to be more inclusive. Please review the examples of organizational policies and procedures in the “Critical Thinking Activity” below.
Critical Thinking Activity
A summer job application asks for a photograph of the applicant (applications without photographs will not be considered).
An apartment complex requires that applicants state whether they have or are planning to have children.
A public school institutes a new policy that students must wear their hair no longer than chin length.
A courthouse does not inform defendants that they have the option to request an interpreter if needed.
An airline posts an advertisement in an online job board for stewardesses.
A restaurant chain runs a television advertisement stating that they are seeking waiters in the age range of 18–25.
A hospital includes questions on race, ethnicity, and religion on an emergency room intake form.
For your Journal entry:
Describe whether a community or communities is/are being excluded in each example provided and explain which community/communities are being excluded.
Explain whether the policy or procedure in each example might be considered a form of institutionalized discrimination and explain why or why not.
If institutionalized discrimination is occurring, explain how the institution involved might change its approach or policies to be more inclusive.
Write at least 300 words.

Choose one of the following scenarios which illustrate a variety of incidents that have occurred on a university campus.
Imagine that you are a residence hall counselor on campus, and the student described in the incident has come to you to ask for advice.
What sort of advice would you give to the student?
Explain why your advice represents the best course of action for the student to follow.

Topic: How are the environment and climate change viewed and discussed in the media
how the news media disseminates information to a broader public. For this assignment, your goal is to analyze the press coverage of your specific political issue. Throughout your analysis, it may be helpful to conduct an examination of how different media platforms cover the same issue. The details of the assignment are explained below.
Section 1: Introduction
The first portion of your essay should be your introduction. Remember, a successful introduction invites the reader into your essay with an engaging, concise, and organized argument. Generally speaking, this involves an attention-getter that will peak the interest of a reader. Next, you will want to introduce your topic. Make sure that you also have a thesis statement and describe the major sections of your essay with a preview.
Section 2: Platform Context/Analysis
In the second section of your essay, you will want to provide an overview of the media platform(s) that you are examining. You are not required to analyze multiple media platforms, but you should describe the organization’s history and evolution. Specifically, you should include what kinds of biases the media organization(s) are slanted towards, how these biases appear in their coverage, and how these biases are related to the text(s) that you are analyzing.
Another object of analysis may also be the sponsors of the media platform. What kinds of advertisements does this organization show to their audience?
Does the platform provide any sponsors for their content? What is the relationship between the issue that you are examining and the monetization of the program? You do not need to address all these questions, but some of them may aid your argument.
Section 3: Textual Analysis
This is where the analysis of your issue will take place. The question that you are going to answer in this portion of your essay is: How does this program frame my political issue? Is there a rhetorical strategy that is most salient throughout the programming of this issue? How do multiple rhetorical strategies come together to persuade or dissuade their audiences? Are the pundits of the program debating the issue or agreeing on the issue? Again, not all of these questions need to be answered, but a few of them may help you start thinking about what to look for in the text.
Section 4: Conclusion
In the final section of your essay, review your main points, restate your thesis, and end on a meaningful note.
No Plagiarism and cite both in text and make a work cited

Instructions: This project requires you to develop a PowerPoint slide presentation for use as a training tool with brand new supervisors! You are in charge of presenting them with information on how to transition from a worker to a supervisor. There is great satisfaction in taking a brand new employee, helping them to develop their Management, Coaching, and Leadership skills, and then watching them excel! With this in mind, your presentation should have a title slide, an overview, and a body of slides for the audience. You should focus the majority of your presentation (i.e., 8-10 slides) on what challenges a new supervisor may face, what makes a good supervisor (or bad one), and how to transition to becoming a supervisor. Factors to consider in all forms of communication–Who is your audience? What is your message? Are you trying to persuade? Inform?
Here are some guidelines to get you started: You are the Day Shift Supervisor and are going to brief a small group of newly-promoted team leads with little or no past leadership experience. They have all worked up through the ranks at the Always Smiling Toothbrush manufacturing facility. Your audience ages are anywhere from 25-55 years of age, with various business backgrounds, some with military experience, and some that have been in a little trouble before but now want to move up in the company. Many of them have good friends still in lower positions and will have a struggle adjusting. Have fun with some of the topics and graphics of course!
Submission Instructions: IMPORTANT! Save and submit your work as a PowerPoint Presentation with speaker notes
Link here on how to do this in PPT
The body of your presentation should include at least 8-10 presentation slides, in addition to a title slide, introduction slide(s), and references at the end of your presentation for a total of no more than 15 slides. PowerPoint presentations longer than 15 slides will not be read after the 15th slide. As such, please ensure that all assignment questions are answered within the first 15 slides, as your grade will be based on the first 15 slides received.
Your grade will be based on your ability to follow assignment instructions, research conducted, the effectiveness of the training proposed, critical thinking and analysis, and APA 7th edition format.
Please support your ideas, arguments, and opinions with independent research, including at least three (3) supporting references or sources (do NOT use your textbook as one of the three required references, or encyclopedias, Wikipedia, unknown, undated, or anonymous sources, such as brief articles from websites), include a reference section (i.e., 1-2 slides), and cite all sources properly in the text of each slide, in accordance with the 7th edition of the APA manual.
Helpful Tips
I encourage you to go online to Purdue OWL, or Excelsior OWL, which has excellent writing labs for students. Look up PowerPoint presentations in APA format in the search box. These websites will have helpful tips on best practices. TED talks are also another great source of good information.

1. For the purpose of this paper you are going to consider what Kant would argue regarding the ends justifying the means.  For example, yes the cells were used without permission and there was no financial compensation but hundreds of thousands of lives have been saved by the vaccines created for polio and treatments created for cancer.
2. Keep your opinion out of this and make sure you are referring back to what you know of Kant. The objective of this assignment is to see what you know about Kant and to help you to summarize and maintain charitability to other people’s arguments.
3. Make sure you are using the two formulations of the categorical imperative to help you decide what Kant would argue.
4. You do not need any additional outside sources and I do not recommend using them.
5. This should be no longer than 2 pages double spaced.

TEXT TO REFERENCE

If lying to your gran brings about the best consequences — i.e. she is happy, you are happy, and she continues to knit which makes her happy etc., then it is morally acceptable to lie. Notice, however, that the consequentialist would say that we ought to lie; not just that it is acceptable to lie but that we have a moral obligation to lie.

Of course, the utilitarian should try and think harder about the possible consequences and outcomes in order to try and prevent some new problems arising. Consider the sheriff example; it could be that the real criminal confesses resulting in worse consequences than if the truth had been told at the outset. Now, not only will there be riots but there will also be no trust in the law enforcement. So, in fact, lying would bring about worse consequences, which means it would be wrong to lie.

Or consider the gran example. If your brother tells his gran that you lied, then we can imagine that this might mean she would not be able ever to trust her grandchildren again, may give up knitting, and thus make her unhappier than if she had originally been told the truth about the jumper.

However, because no action is right or wrong qua action in Utilitarianism, it follows that the action of lying is neither wrong nor right. So to the question “does the utilitarian think that lying is wrong?” the answer is “it just depends”.

So rather than first defining good and then defining the right and wrong actions they first define right and wrong. How they might do this will depend on what type of deontologist they are. The Kantians ground the rightness and wrongness on reason. In particular, we introduced one version of Kant’s Categorical Imperative. We can show, using this, that Kant — and in fact all deontologists — think that the action of lying is wrong in all cases. Even if the consequence is saving a billion people, your own mother or an orphanage of children.

It is worth noting that in the other Kantian formula that we introduced, lying also comes out as wrong. Kant said that we should always treat others as an end in themselves, and never solely as a means to an end. We can see that this makes lying wrong. For if we lie to someone then we are not treating them as an end in themselves but are controlling what they can do by taking certain decisions out of their hands; we are basically saying we should be allowed to deceive them for our own ends. We are not treating them as rational agents and for the Kantian this is always morally wrong.

This might seem counterintuitive, and it is. However, it is perhaps less so if we revisit our definition of lying. Go back to the soldier case. Imagine she is being tortured for military codes. It seems that one way to stop the consequence that hundreds of thousands of people die would be simply to say nothing. And, given our definition, saying nothing would not be lying. So the Kantian may not be committed to the implausible conclusion that she has to reveal the secrets. Keeping silent is not the same as lying.

Furthermore, it is worth remembering that there are different ways of telling the truth! Saying to your gran: “I really appreciate all the work you’ve put in to my jumper, and my friend thinks it is an amazing jumper, but it really is not my style, I’m really sorry”, seem less objectionable than “No, I do not like it”.

So there are — maybe — ways of making Kant’s theory less objectionable when considering lying by thinking harder about what it actually means to lie. Even so, it seems undeniable that there are some cases where we think it is morally acceptable to lie but for the Kantian there are no such cases.

Notice that it is not just the Kantian that would say this. Other deontological theories would as well. For example, the Divine Command Theory, the theory that says that actions are right or wrong depending on whether God commands or prohibits them. If God says lying is wrong — and at least in the main monotheistic religions He does — then it is, full stop. Or consider the Catholic theologian Aquinas.

 

Examine FEMA from the point of view of two different think tanks and the Government Accounting Office (GAO).
Here’s some background information on FEMA. https://www.fema.gov/about
Now take a look at two reports on FEMA. One is from the Cato Institute ( https://www.cato.org/policy-analysis/federal-emergency-management-agency- floods-failures-federalism) and the other is from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) ( https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-15-178).
GAO is NOT a think tank. It is a government organization.
review each of these and then locate a report/post from another think tank/research group (preferably a liberal think tank for balance).
Here’s a list of the policy think tanks in the US. https://www.think-tanks.guide/en/country/united-states/
critically analyze the information shared from the think tanks.
What specific roles do these think tanks have, which policy actors seem to be driving this specific tank, what were the differences and similarities in the recommendations made for FEMA, distinguish any bias and what was it, and identify any problems with the rationale or reasoning utilized?
Be sure to provide the name of the think tank you reviewed and a link to their discussion on FEMA.
stay on the topic of the discussion. This week, that is analysis of FEMA by think tanks and GAO.
