Assignment: exploring your theoretical perspectives

Assignment: Exploring Your Theoretical Perspectives

Understanding the way you view human behavior from a theoretical perspective is an important part of your professional development and global understanding of human behavior.

Tasks:

Using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, conduct research to support your response.

In this 4- to 5-page paper, address the following:

• On the basis of your understanding of the theoretical perspectives explored in this module, discuss what theoretical orientations you most closely align with and why.

• Analyze and discuss whether you fall into the category of relying upon one theory, a few theories, or multiple theories to assist you in understanding human behavior.

• Discuss how you think your theoretical preferences influence your view of human behavior.

Annotated Bibilography

Annotated Bibilography

FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS. NO PLAGIARISM. Must be complete by Saturday, March 18th, 2017 at noon EST.

For this assignment, you will submit an annotated bibliography of at least eight sources (four primary and four secondary) for Project 1: “Autobiographical” Essay.

As you compile the list of sources that you will consult for your “Autobiographical” essay, remember that historians use different types of resources in their work. The two broad categories are primary and secondary sources. In general terms, primary sources are those pieces of evidence that were created at the time period being studied by people directly involved, while secondary sources filter and synthesize events at a later date.

Unlike a traditional bibliography, an annotated bibliography explores the sources rather than merely referencing them. According to the staff of Cornell Library, an annotated bibliography should begin first with a proper citation, then: “a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or article. Include one or more sentences that (a) evaluate the authority or background of the author, (b) comment on the intended audience, (c) compare or contrast this work with another you have cited, or (d) explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic.” This should be done for each of your sources.

The Annotated Bibliography should be formatted and cited using either APA or Chicago style. See below for information on finding sources and writing the Annotated Bibliography.

Please feel free to access colonial maps, journals, newspapers, diaries, photographs, or any other information you feel may be helpful from the Library of Congress’s “American Memory” website, the National Archives website, George Mason University’s website “History Matters”, Yale University’s “Avalon Project”, Special Collections at Duke University, or the website “Archiving Early America” as well as any museum or historical society website. The college library can also help you find sources.

Please use Military Database ProQuest and ensure to attach sources!

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY in support of the 1,000-word autobiographical narrative about your life and experiences as an ordinary person living in colonial America during either the 17th or 18th century. (I AM A WHITE MALE REVOLUTIONARY OFFICER IN THE MILITARY)

Discussing your life within the span of ten years you should describe who you are (ethnicity, gender, age, marital status), where you live, your family composition, your standing in the community, your occupational work skills, religion, recreational outlets, and finally your perspectives on whether you are optimistic about your life, its limitations, and what the future holds for you.

Radiologists Get a Bigger Role in Diagnosing Patients

Radiologists play an active role in helping to make medical decisions for patients. Radiologists
paraphrases and summary with out paralogism

One of the top radiology departments in the country is trying a simple but unusual arrangement
Radiologists play an active role in helping to make medical decisions for patients. Radiologists .

The radiologists also deliver reports to clinical oncologists and other specialists that contain much more information. The reports, traditionally a written summary of findings, now also include embedded images from the scans and MRIs, so the clinicians can view what the radiologist is describing.

Improved imaging technology, which has brought greater clarity to scans, has made radiology one of the most important tools to help doctors diagnose disease and monitor treatment.

“Our role isn’t only to acquire the images and interpret the images but to help our referring physicians in caring for our patients,” says David Larson, an associate professor of pediatric radiology at Stanford University School of Medicine. He credits Dr. Recht’s work with helping to boost that awareness.
Dr. Recht has also led an effort to make radiologists’ reports more doctor-friendly by embedding still images of the scans and MRIs next to the summary of findings. In the case of cancer, for example, there will be an image with an arrow pointing to the malignant lesion.
William Huang, a urologic oncologist specializing in prostate and kidney cancer at NYU, says the new radiology reports save him time. An MRI of the prostate can contain 1,000 images.
