1- Consider Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and Russell’s chapter on the appearance/reality distinction. What connections can you make between these two readings? What common philosophical problem are they considering? Can you think of any examples of why distinguishing between appearance and reality is important?
2- Describe the problem of induction and the principle of induction. From what you have learned about logic and arguments, explain how the problem of induction arises. What are some examples of inductive inferences and the problems of generalizing about inductive inferences? What is the connection between induction and scientific laws?
3- Can we really know anything at all? What kinds of things can be known with certainty? What kinds of things can be known with near certainty?

The gist of the assignment is to compare and contrast the album linked (“Prom Night After Party in Ed Gein’s Basement”) to The Smiths and Radiohead, two bands the teacher chose to represent the 80s and 90s respectively (we just got off a unit on those two bands, now doing avant garde stuff).
The assignment says “800 words discussing the relationship between art and listenability the band Tunky & Longface represents and how that relationship compares/contrasts with your views on Radiohead and The Smiths. Include a critical reading of two songs from the Tunky & Longface album to defend your thesis.”

Evaluating Intervention Models
You and your clients are unique individuals, and the therapeutic relationship you establish with each client is unlike any other. As you apply your experience with and your knowledge of intervention models to create a treatment plan, the plan is likely to be unique too. Considering the variety of intervention models and the variety of individuals engaged in therapeutic relationships, it is reasonable to assume that there is no one perfect plan.
In spite of the many choices you may make as you develop a treatment plan for a client, a basic understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of each type of intervention and how to apply each should inform your decisions. In this Discussion, you apply your understanding of intervention models to a case example, and explain why you select a particular intervention model over others that are available.
To prepare, review the therapist-client meetings in the “Family Therapy Vignettes” video located in the Learning Resources and select one client (Alice, Rick, or Sara) to address in your post. As you review the video, consider which of the intervention models highlighted in this week’s Learning Resources would be most suitable for the client you selected. The intervention models highlighted this week are interventions based on either cognitive-behavioral or solution-focused theories, as well as motivational interviewing. Be sure to read the additional background information on the family member you are addressing as this information may inform your decision. (This background information is provided in the “Family Therapy Vignettes” video.)

You are a new advertising assistant in a large advertising agency and a big client wants a small ad designed that will be cost effective in a publication you think appropriate. Create an advertisement for this sports-oriented resort (your choice). You are going to advertise in Global Travel Magazine in a small ad that is black and white (1/6th of a page and can only accommodate a total of 50 words including the headline.) What will you say and how will you say it so it grabs the readers’ attention and the message “sticks”?
Checklist:
Show and explain your original ad; why you chose it and how the message sticks and why.
Then explain what other publications you might recommend for this ad placement as well, after market testing it and why.
What audience will this appeal to? Will your other publications recommendations appeal to the same audience demographic?
at the end please answer this question separately. This is extra credit work.
