How does Kahlo address issues of gender, reproduction, and sexuality, and femininity in her artwork? Refer to the information under Artists.
Did the film Frida succeed in presenting Frida Kahlo as a successful Hispanic woman artist? What more could the film do to achieve this? Please use specific examples from the film to support your position, noting particular scenes, moments, or conversations to help make your points.

There are four steps to this assignment—you must complete all four in order to receive credit.

__: Identify a situation in which you will encounter persuasion

__: Submit topic on Canvas for approval

__: Expose yourself to the situation and take notes on your experience

__: Write an analytical reflection paper on the experience.

Identify a situation in which you will encounter persuasion:

This assignment requires you to place yourself in a situation where you will be persuaded to do something (buy, believe, etc.). The assignment requires you to set yourself up as a target of a professional salesperson or other persuasion expert and to analyze their experiences using fundamental persuasion, argumentation, and logic concepts.

Expose yourself to the situation and take notes on your experience:

The assignment requires you to set yourself up as a target of a professional salesperson or other persuasion expert. To simulate a realistic experience I will not explicitly instruct you on how to approach the situation (e.g., emotionally detached, strongly resistant). Rather, I simply ask you to behave as naturally as you can.

Examples of the tactics and concepts (these are from the “handout” reading):

a) the foot-in-the door
b) door-in-the face
c) and that’s-not-all techniques
d) slowly escalating commitments
e) the illusion of choice
f) conformity and social proof
g) conveying illusions of authority, honesty, and likeability
h) the base-rate fallacy and negativity bias.

Sample persuasion experts and situations:

Car, jewelry, stereo, furniture, and insurance salespeople; timeshare seminars; parties to sell Tupperware, kitchenware, photo albums, and candles; military recruiters; funeral arrangement coordinators; street hustlers; scientology, Moonie, and other religious recruiters; and psychics.

Ethical Precautions

It is important to take precautions against placing yourself in unsafe situations. You must have your topic approved by me before carrying out the assignment. Occasionally, it might be necessary to suggest an alternative scenario if a proposed situation is too risky. Most cults, for example, are excellent illustrations of persuasion but I generally advise you not to subject yourself directly to their influence. Also, in situations where you will likely encounter hard-sell salespeople, use your best judgment about what point to exit the encounter. For example, if you are visiting a visiting car lot, do not to go beyond the test drive.

Write an analytical reflection paper on the experience:

Your reflection paper should provide readers with an overview of the entire persuasive experience. Be sure you include the following three ideas:

Analyze the tactics, persuasive concepts, and/or logical fallacies that were employed during your experience.
Reflect on how you responded to the tactics
Articulate how you (or someone you know) could more effectively resist similar persuasion attempts in the future.

From p. 711 in Wiley Blackwell (Introduction): Literary and cultural critic Charles Johnson argues that contemporary African-American literature “represents a fiction of increasing artistic and intellectual growth, one that enables us as a people — as a culture — to move from narrow complain to broad celebration.” For this discussion please comment on Johnson’s observation in relation to a text by Alice Walker (b. 1944) pgs. 733-760. Make sure that you support your claims by quoting and discussing specific language from the respective text.

Like most methods and concepts, there is a primitive and relatively useless way to use the VALUE CHAIN, and there are more sophisticated ways to use the method/concept. The primitive way is to merely LIST AND DESCRIBE some value creating activities of a firm in each of the little boxes of the value chain concept. DISCUSS WHAT ARE SOME WAYS TO ADD VALUE TO THE VALUE CHAIN METHOD/CONCEPT. In other words, how can you make the VALUE CHAIN concept/method worth applying to a case?

The questions are based on “introduction to managerial accounting” course. They are attached in word format

Examine Gilgamesh (The Epic of Gilgamesh), Senwosret (the Egyptian pharaoh in The Tale of Sinuhe), Pericles (Pericles’ Funeral Oration), and Augustus (Life of the Divine Augustus, Res Gestae). Discuss each leader’s style of
authority, how and why they rule over their subjects, what roles, duties, and responsibilities they hold, and the values each one embodies. Likewise, compare and contrast the governments and individuals presented, developing an argument regarding the evolution of government and leadership over time.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read the required chapters from the Harré (2006) Key Thinkers in Psychology e-book. Examine one of the schools of thought (psychoanalysis, behaviorism, etc.) presented in the reading that is significant in the evolution of modern psychology. Select one theorist associated with this school of thought and explain the specific theoretical perspective(s) and/or contribution(s) this individual made to the field of psychology. Evaluating the impact of the theory and/or contribution(s) to the field as a whole, identify the strengths and weaknesses of your theorist’s contribution(s).
Choose one contemporary issue or problem that is prevalent in today’s news and research a minimum of one peer-reviewed article on this issue in the Ashford University Library. Evaluate the issue from your chosen school of thought and your theorist’s perspective. Explain how the theory provides a deeper understanding of and insight into the conditions and behaviors related to the contemporary issue. Evaluate contemporary applications of psychological theory to the issue. Support your evaluation of the news piece with your peer-reviewed research on the topic.

Part II

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read the Fisher (2009) article, “Replacing ‘Who is the Client?’ With a Different Ethical Question” and the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct: Including 2010 Amendments paying special attention to standard 3.11.
Informed consent is an important ethical component of research and practice. It is not, however, always sufficient or appropriate for consulting, program evaluation, job effectiveness assessment, or other psychological services delivered to or through organizations because it does not always address all the necessary elements of a given situation. These facts do not negate our responsibility as psychology professionals to inform clients and those who may be impacted by our services. In the discussion you will address these issues through the following case study.
You are an industrial organizational (I/O) psychologist and have been hired to evaluate a company’s “Work From Home” policy to see if it has increased company production. In addition to a review of the employee records, the evaluation needs to include interviews with supervisors and employees on the value and limits of the policy. Since informed consent as typically considered in clinical, counseling, and research settings will not be sufficient in this instance, you will need to inform all supervisors and employees about your services.
In your initial post, briefly analyze and define who the client is in this case study. Assess your professional role as the I/O psychologist and your responsibility to the client as defined. Apply the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct to this scenario, specifically addressing what information should be provided to all supervisors and employees. Explain how you would disseminate this information and ensure understanding amongst all stakeholders. Elaborate on how you would establish trust with the employees, protect employee identities, and ensure the results are used in an ethical manner.

Part III

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read the Grenyer & Lewis (2012) “Prevalence, Prediction, and Prevention of Psychologist Misconduct” article and the APA Practice Central’s Professional Health and Well-being for Psychologists , Tips from Practitioners on Finding Work-Life Balance , and Tips for Self-Care online articles.
Select two complaints presented in the Grenyer & Lewis article (see Table 1) and explain the ramifications of these violations applying the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct to each situation. Assess the role of the APA in assisting psychology professionals in the identification of potential areas of misconduct. Describe and recommend a course of action to avoid these areas. Evaluate the contemporary role of psychology professionals and elaborate on the relationship between self-care and the issue of maintaining ethical principles and professional standards. Identify one or two self-care tips, tools, or suggested courses of action provided on the APA’s Self-care resources for psychologists website that might address the issues which lead to the chosen complaints.
