Compare and contrast Old Comedy and New Comedy. Describe characteristics of each. Give examples.
Person-Centered Theory
Discussion-Person-Centered theory can be non-directive and unstructured. To what degree do you believe students have the ability to understand and resolve their own problems without a great deal of suggestions or guidance from a school counselor?
“The Orphan Train Movement of 1853-1929”, this was the precursor to the modern foster care system in the United States. After viewing, please answer the first question and share your opinion on the second question. Everyone should read all of their classmates responses; comment and/or give feedback to at least one classmate.
Watch:
Why did the “Orphan Trains” begin, who was responsible for the movement and how did people receive these children from “The Orphan Train”?
How do you feel about the movement, would you have done something differently and what would that be? Keep in mind what ever you would have done in that era would effect the current “Foster Care System” today?
By the end of this module, you will meet these learning objectives:
⦁ Develop questions about fundamental aspects of human culture based on the study of cultural works
⦁ Assess the interrelationship between cultural works and the culture in which they exist
⦁ Explore the big questions that define and influence creative expressions in contemporary time.
⦁ Evaluate the larger human need to express
Module Overview
In Module Five, we discussed how human expressions impact issues we deal with today and how shifts in culture affect and are affected by cultural works. During the next couple of weeks, as you work on the information to share in your final project, keep in mind the value of asking questions about your cultural work and the culture(s) with which it is associated to learn more about related issues and cultural shifts.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this module, you will meet these learning objectives:
⦁ Examine cultural events or shifts in the humanities
⦁ Compare how a cultural work impacted people at the time of its creation versus how it will impact people in the future
⦁ Explain how human expression can impact issues we deal with today
Module Overview
Introduction to the Cultural Events or Shifts in the Humanities
The humanities give us an opportunity to investigate cultural events that have occurred throughout history and even ones that we experience in our own lifetimes. These events reflect the “big questions” that humans have wondered about throughout history. You have probably noticed or even experienced some of these cultural events and shifts today that have stirred up questions about human life. For example, social media, a development of the digital revolution, has been both praised and criticized for its power to connect people. Social media and virtual interactions have changed and continue to change the way we communicate and interact in major ways.
Discuss an event or experience in your life that helped shape you into the person you are today.
It is time to take a virtual field trip! For this short answer assignment, visit any of the galleries in the Resources section for this week. Choose two cultural works that catch your attention, and respond to the prompt below.
Prompt
Craft your answer with the considerations below. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Choose two cultural works that catch your attention. Identify the name of each cultural work and describe why you chose each one. Share a link for each.
Compare your chosen works. How do you think each cultural work reflects its time period? Point to specific details that you see to relate them to elements of culture, such as what is valuable or meaningful to a group of people or what elements reflect history, beliefs, experiences, or other effects of culture.
Now state a question about key aspects of human culture in relation to one of the cultural works selected. For example, what does a specific urn tell us about the nature of death?
Then, briefly explain how you might go about doing research to find an answer to your question. For example, what keywords might you use in your search, where might you begin your research, or whom might you consult ?
Strengths and benefits
Watch the film “The Men of Atalissa” , identify and describe one example of how disability rights have improved the lives of people with disabilities.
In your response, provide sufficient detail to describe a part of the film to showcase your understanding of the film and its relation to course concepts.
For example, this might include describing a specific scene, quote, event, character, or part of the story. Then, clearly explain why or how the part of the film you described relates to one of the strengths mentioned during recorded lectures.
Brain and Behavior
Explain how electrical potential is generated across cell membrane. Discuss the role of different ion concentrations on two sides of the membrane, semi-permeability of the membrane, the role of diffusion and electrical charge interactions.
Movie Critique Paper
Human services professionals violating many of the established codes of ethical conduct. For many beginning helping professionals, these movies can lead them into thinking that the behavior demonstrated on film is accepted and appropriate. In addition, future clients also watch these movies and this is where they get many of their ideas about professional helpers.
Watch the movie and identify at least five (5) ethical violations. Use both the NASW and NOHS code of ethics to determine what ethical violations have been committed.
Explain each ethical violation and state which NASW and/or NOHS code of ethics have been violated.
It is recommended that you read through both the NASW and NOHS codes before you watch the movie. Have the codes handy during the film so that you can keep track of the ethical violations.
