  • Title: The Impact of Sound on the Body’s Stress Response and Cardiovascular Health

    Reminder: only your first, unedited post will be graded for this assignment.
    For this CLT discussion you are asked to engage in active listening and reflect on how you respond to this. 
    Noise generates a stress response in the amygdala, which learns over time that danger may be approaching, triggering a release of cortisol. When we think about the word “noise” we often imagine negative sounds but what about positive or soothing sounds? How might they affect our cortisol levels, norepinephrine, epinephrine and ultimately affect heart rate and blood pressure? How do they make us feel and what impact might our environment have on cardiac disease development? How is the neurological system also connected?
    Assignment process:
    Read: Münzel et al. (2018).Environmental Noise and the Cardiovascular System.Links to an external site. Journal of the American College of Cardiology 71(6). 688-697.
    Apply reading learnings:
    Use your own pulse or that of another (either manually or with a smart watch/device) to assess heart rate while listening to a variety of sounds. 
    1. Choose sounds from each list – positive and negative
    Examples of Positive Sounds (although not inclusive): laughter, rustling leaves, water (stream, ocean, waterfall, etc.), crackling fire, music, etc.
    Examples of Negative Sounds (although not inclusive): pounding jackhammer, buzzer or bell ringing, dental drill, baby crying, mosquito, music, etc. 
    2. Develop a Mind Map showing the connections to sound and the body’s stress response. Starting with your main concept or theme in the center and branching out from there to visually organize the information in a hierarchy, showing relationships. A Mind Map is different than a Concept Map, which we will work on later in the semester. A Mind Map focuses on one theme or concept with relationships shown by connecting lines that are not bi-directional and arrangement is represented in a radial manner.  
    Here is an online toolLinks to an external site. you may use or any of your choosing.  Use color, graphics, emoji’s, etc. to make it artistic and fun. This creates information retention while enhancing creative problem solving.Links to an external site.
    3. Post your mind map to your CLT discuss and compare/contrast your experiences with your CLT members.
    4, Review rubric to ensure all components are included in assignment submission.
    Example:

  • “Gang Warfare in Denial: A Police Investigation” “Examining Constitutional Violations in People v. Dripster, Dummy & Stupido, et al.: A Supreme Court Opinion”

    In the state of Denial, the Capital City Police have been watching gang activity between two local gangs, the Drips and the Scruds. The Scruds are mad at the Drips because they believe that the Drips have been encroaching on the Scruds’ territory and selling drugs in the Scruds’ neighborhood. Members of the gangs take the first letter of the gang’s affiliation for their “gang name.” For example, the leader of the Drips is assumed the name Dripster, while the leader of the Scrips took on the name Stupido. Officers Do-Right and Justice have been assigned to the case and have been following members of both gangs closely over the past several weeks.
    Dripster (the leader of the Drips) has been driving around in a Black Chevrolet Blazer that is registered to his girlfriend. Do-Right and Justice have placed a tracking device on the vehicle so that they can follow the gang leader at a safe distance without him noticing them. Using the tracking device, they have followed him to a party being held at a house owned by the girlfriend of a fellow Drip, Dufus.
    The officers decide to use a new device that they have obtained from the police department called the Bloodhound, which can sniff out certain smells from a distance. Using the Bloodhound, the officers have determined that inside the house are the following substances: marijuana, creatine (which is commonly used to cut cocaine), and lye (which can be used in making methamphetamine). Based upon the information they have obtained from the Bloodhound, they call a magistrate and obtain a search warrant for Dufus’ house.
    After backup arrives, Officers Do-Right and Justice lead the way to the house, where they break through the front door of the house without first knocking and announcing their presence. Inside the house, they find Dripster sitting at the kitchen table in front of a scale and a white powdery substance, which is later determined to be to be cocaine. They also find Dufus in a back room surrounded by boxes of electronics and a pile of cash that they later determine to be $50,000. With Dufus are two low-level Drips, Dummy and Duncecap, who are armed with automatic assault rifles and loaded handguns.
    When the officers rush into the room where Dufus, Dummy, and Duncecap are, Duncecap immediately throws up his hands and tells the officers, “I’ll tell you everything I know! Just don’t arrest me!” Dufus turns to his accomplices and says, “If either of you says a word, you are dead meat.” Duncecap immediately stops talking and claims he “doesn’t know anything about anything.”
    As Do-Right is escorting Dripster to his cruiser after he has arrested him, a carload of Scruds drives by slowly. The Scruds’ leader, Stupido, leans out of his window and yells to Dripster, “I told you to keep your business off our turf!” Dripster, thinking Stupido is the reason that the cops raided the house, grabs Do-Right’s gun and opens fire towards Stupido’s car. Dripster misses Stupido and his car, but he shoots and injures a 12-year-old girl, Innocent, who is watching the arrests in her front yard across the street. Innocent survives but is paralyzed. At the same time, Stupido, realizing that Dripster is shooting at him, grabs his own weapon from the car and shoots at his arch-enemy but misses him.
    Officers are able to safely transport Dripster, Dufus, Dummy, and Duncecap to the police station and have also arrested Stupido. They search Stupido’s car at the scene and find the gun he used to shoot at Dripster. Ballistics shows that the gun was used in a previous armed robbery of a party store. Stupido is charged with the robbery.
    At the police station, Officer Justice, who is questioning Dummy without first reading Miranda warnings, tells Dummy that if he tells him everything he knows about the rivalry between the Drips and the Scruds and agrees to testify against the members of both gangs, the police will charge him with only possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. Dummy takes the deal.
    Stupido was interrogated at the police station regarding the armed robbery and told that he had been named as the robber by an eyewitness. He asked for his lawyer three times, but his lawyer, who arrived at the police station while Stupido was being interrogated, was twice denied entry to the interrogation. After three hours of interrogation, Stupido confesses to the armed robbery.
    Dripster is convicted of attempted murder of Innocent and sentenced to death. He is also convicted of possession with intent to sell marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamine. He is additionally convicted of possession of stolen property (the electronics) and unregistered firearms. Stupido is convicted of the armed robbery and attempting to murder Dripster. Dufus and Duncecap are also convicted of possession with intent to sell marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamine; possession of stolen property (the electronics); and for unregistered firearms. Dummy is convicted of misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
    The cases are all combined as People v. Dripster, Dummy & Stupido , et al. The following points have been appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. You are an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and this case has come before the Court. The Chief Justice has assigned you to write a majority opinion resolving the case. In your paper,
    Write an opinion (an analysis of the questions below that will serve as the reasoning and the ruling of the Supreme Court) that resolves the case based upon previous cases from the United States Supreme Court, other federal and state courts, and other scholarly sources.
    Explain your opinion on each of the following points:
    Evaluate whether all the evidence from the house should have been suppressed as fruit of the poisonous tree, because the placing of a tracking device on the Blazer driven by Dripster without a warrant and without probable cause violated the Fourth Amendment.
    Assess whether all the evidence from the house should have been suppressed because the use of the Bloodhound device without a warrant and without probable cause violated the Fourth Amendment.
    Determine whether all evidence from the house should have been suppressed because the warrant issued by the magistrate was based upon information obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment.
    Rule on whether all evidence from the house should have been suppressed because the police officers did not knock and announce; the warrant was not a no-knock warrant.
    Conclude whether the gun used by Stupido should have been suppressed because the officers had no right to search his car at the scene.
    Examine whether Dummy’s conviction for marijuana possession should be overturned, because he was not read Miranda warnings before making a deal.
    Evaluates whether Stupido’s confession should have been suppressed, because his lawyer was not allowed to see him.
    Explain the validity of Dripster’s death sentence for shooting and paralyzing Innocent violates the Eighth Amendment.
    Must use at least five court cases and three scholarly sources

  • “Finding Common Ground: Reflection on Shared Identity Across Differences”

    The Goal of this mini-experiment: The objective is to foster a greater sense of kinship across group boundaries by reflecting on even small similarities with someone in your life who appears very different from you.
    What should you do:
    Think of a person in your life who seems to be very different from you. They may have contrasting interests, religious or political beliefs, or life experiences. This person could be someone you have had a personal conflict with or someone belonging to a group in conflict with a group you associate with.
    Create a list of all the things you most likely share in common with this person. Consider aspects such as working for the same company, attending the same school, having children, or having a significant other. Take time to review this list of commonalities.
    Shift your perspective. Instead of viewing this person as unfamiliar or as a member of an out-group, try to see them as an individual with whom your tastes and experiences might overlap in certain ways. Recognize the potential for shared connections.
    Repeat this exercise with a couple more individuals who initially seem different from you, those with whom you have conflicts, or those who make you feel uncomfortable.
    What should you write in your reflection: In your reflection, focus on the following aspects:
    Describe the similarities you discovered with people who initially seemed very different from you. Discuss specific commonalities you identified and how they relate to your own life.
    Reflect on your experience of attempting to develop a shared identity with these individuals. How did it make you feel? Did it challenge any preconceived notions or biases? Explore the impact of this activity on your perspective of these people.
    Share in detail what you did throughout the exercise, how you felt during the process, and what you learned from the overall experience. Consider any personal growth, shifts in perception, or increased empathy you may have gained.
    Additionally, write about what you learned about culture through this exercise that was not covered in the book. Discuss any insights or observations you made regarding cultural differences and their impact on fostering connections and understanding.
    By engaging thoughtfully with these instructions and reflecting on your experiences, you will deepen your understanding of finding common ground and cultivating kinship with individuals who may initially seem different from you.
    Grading Rubric for Personal Reflection #3:
    Relationship Description: The reflection identifies the individuals with whom the shared identity was explored, without explicitly naming them, and discusses the past relationship with these individuals and how they typically made the student feel (5 points).
    Shared Characteristics, Traits, and Experiences: The reflection highlights the characteristics, traits, and experiences that the student discovered they shared with the identified individuals, going beyond surface-level similarities and delving into meaningful connections (5 points).
    Initial Feelings: The reflection articulates how they felt when writing and discovering the characteristics, traits, and experiences they shared with the identified individuals, and provides specific examples of their emotional experiences (5 points).
    Impact of Reflecting on Shared Identity: The reflection explores how reflecting on the shared identity changed the student’s perceptions and feelings toward the individuals and a comparison is made between the actual experience of reflecting on shared identity and the expected experience if only reading about it in the textbook (5 points).

  • The Use of Rhetorical Tools in Socrates’ Argument for the Immortality of the Soul Thesis Argument: In Socrates’ argument from the nature of the soul vs. the nature of the body, the premise that the soul is

    In Plato’s Phaedo, Socrates offers four arguments to demonstrate
    the immortality of the soul. In lecture, three of these arguments were described
    as:
    1.     
    The argument from
    opposites (including the argument from existential balance)
    2.     
    The argument that all
    knowledge is recollection
    3.     
    The argument from the
    nature of the soul vs. the nature of the body
    In Chapter 2 of his Office of Assertion, Scott Crider explores the
    method of ‘inventing’ or ‘discovering’ arguments by detailing the rhetorical tools
    of (1) the syllogism/enthymeme and (2) the topics of invention, including:
    Definition, Comparison, Relationship, and Testimony (see Class 23 slides and
    Chapter 2 of the Crider text).
    Choose one of the above arguments Socrates develops for the immortality
    of the soul:
    1)     
    Identify at least one
    premise essential to the argument’s conclusion which you find questionable
    (i.e. open to debate) and why you find it questionable.
    2)     
    Answer whether you think the
    premise (and thus conclusion) of Socrates’ argument is made persuasive by
    Socrates through his use of syllogisms, enthymemes, and/or at least one of the following
    topics of invention outlined by Scott Crider: Definition, Comparison, and/or
    Relationship.
    3)     
    Articulate your answers
    to questions 1) and 2) as your thesis argument.
    4)     
    Demonstrate your thesis
    argument through:
    a.     
    Development: Expand upon
    the reasons for your thesis argument through defining the terms you and
    Socrates are using and explaining how you and Socrates are interpreting them.
    b.     
    Explication/Testimony: Quote
    a passage in Plato’s text that substantiates your claims and explain it
    through:
    i.     
    Analysis: Make clear how
    the passage supports your claim
    ii.     
    Synthesis: Through
    referring to at least one other passage in Plato’s Phaedo,
    explain how the meaning you have derived from the passage is related to and/or
    reflected in Plato’s general discussion about the immortality of the soul.
    Your
    response should be in paragraph form and approx. 350-500 words in length. It
    should begin with your Thesis argument (Part 3) followed by your Demonstration
    of it (Part 4)  through Development
    and Explication/Testimony

  • “Escaping Intimate Partner Abuse: A Short-Term and Long-Term Safety Plan” Part 1: Costs Source: Craigslist (Chattanooga) Monthly rent: $750 a month (2-bedroom apartment that allows pets) Security deposit Title: Escaping Domestic Violence: The Financial and Emotional Struggle

    One common theme in victim blaming for intimate partner abuse is that the victim deserves the abuse that they receive because they stay with the person who is harming them. It can be easy for someone to ask, “why doesn’t s/he just leave?” when we talk about domestic violence or intimate partner violence. This activity is designed to get you to think critically about the escape process, as if you were in the survivors’ shoes. In this activity, you will simulate some of the financial and psychological challenges associated with escaping an abusive relationship. Create a short-term safety plan to escape the relationship and get to resources within the community. Then, create a long-term plan to achieve independence. In doing so, you MUST calculate the financial costs of leaving the abuser (e.g., finding emergency housing that is pet friendly, buying food and basic essentials, etc.) and the costs associated with independence (e.g., arranging childcare for work, locating permanent housing, securing a job, transportation, etc).
    You can put this information in bullet points (see examples below) but it should be thorough and well thought out. This project will push your boundaries and get you thinking.
    The Scenario:
    For this assignment, you are to assume the role of either a heterosexual woman, a woman in a same-sex relationship, or a man in a same-sex relationship (pick one) with a high school education. The only work experience you have is two years in retail working as a full-time cashier making minimum wage ($7.25 per hour) at the supermarket from 2003 to 2007. You have three children, ages seven, four, and six months. You also have a
    25-pound, non-aggressive dog that you do not want to leave behind as your spouse physically abuses the dog.
    You have been a stay-at-home partner for the past seven years. You have no money of your own. Your name is not on the bank account or the credit cards. Your spouse gives you an “allowance” every month of $50 to buy things for yourself. Your spouse handles the rest of the money and pays for everything. The car is also in your spouse’s name only, as is the cellular phone, the house, and all bills.
    For this assignment, you are to research how much it would cost in this situation to:
    Initially be able to leave your abuser
    Function on your own monthly, without the assistance of friends or family (as your partner has isolated you from them) and without the help of social service agencies.
    You can select names for the children and dog, if you wish. Determine the details of the people involved, the city/state this is occurring in (Chattanooga), and think about the type of violence going on in the home. You must be specific and include details for each of the items in the Costs section below. You also must provide a grand total of how much it would cost to live each month.
    Part 1: Costs
    Cite the source of where you found this information.
    Also, you must estimate the monthly cost and the initial cost to move out of the abusive situation. Be specific for each estimate! This is to be for your local area (Chattanooga). See examples below.
    Specifically, you must identify:
    Monthly rent for at least a two-bedroom apartment that allows pets. Include the security and pet deposit, if applicable, and what utilities are included in the rent.
    Example: $650 a month found on Jan. 8 on Craigslist. $650 security deposit and $500 pet deposit. Sewage and garbage included. Monthly cost: $650. Move in cost: $1150.
    Estimate for one month’s utilities in apartment (whatever the rent does not include, such as gas, water, garbage, or electricity).
    Example: Gas estimate $83/month for a two-bedroom apartment.
    Cost to obtain a cellular phone (startup fee, price of phone, price per month). Include carrier, type of phone, and type of plan you are selecting.
    Price of a used car, including an insurance estimate for monthly coverage and monthly gas expenditure ORone month’s bus fare.
    Cost of day care for three children.
    Example: Debbie’s Day Care – Estimate given: 1
    child under 2 = $46 a day, 1 child age 3 and over =
    $32, 1 child school age, $16 (after school) = $94 a
    day
    Assuming that your character works Monday
    through Friday, the total cost for day care each
    month would be: $94 a day x 5 days a week = $470
    a week. $470 x 4 weeks= $1880 a month in day care costs.
    Employment that you would be qualified for with your background.
    Example: Mafelite: Call Center Representatives:
    $10/hour. Requirements: high school diploma. $10
    x 40 hours a week= 400 (a week before taxes, $800
    every two weeks before taxes). $1600 a month income.
    Estimate for groceries each month to feed yourself, the three children, and the dog.
    Formula and diapers must be included in the estimate.
    Estimate for replacing necessaryitems that you could not take with you when you left your abuser (furniture, lamps, beds, clothes, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.). List items and prices.
    Estimate average health care costs per month.
    Estimate the costs for doing laundry at a laundromat, including laundry detergent for one month.
    Part 2: Assistance
    The first part of your assignment dealt with how much it would cost to leave the abuser and live on your own without assistance from any organizations. Now you must find groups you could turn to for help. For this part of the assignment, please find three organizations in the community that could potentially help the victim leave and/or live each month.
    You must provide:
    The name of the organization
    Its contact information
    Brief description of how it can help you. Make sure you meet any qualifications before including the organization as assistance.
    Part 3: Reflection
    Finally, provide a written response reflecting upon the experience of this assignment and the information you uncovered. You should reflect on the emotional and psychological issues surrounding the escape process and assess whether you have a greater understanding of
    “why doesn’t s/he just leave?” Most people aren’t aware of the resources available to survivors or the time, energy, and turmoil it takes to escape. What did you learn?
    Things to consider in your response:
    The amount of money you need to leave your abuser and live each month and the money that the fictional victim could earn
    How finances can affect a person’s decision to stay in an abusive relationship and how that can affect a person emotionally
    How help from a social services organization could be beneficial to the victim based on your research
    Why someone in this position might not want to seek help from an organization
    How a woman (or man in a same-sex relationship) and children might feel in this position
    How having a dog could influence your decision
    The background story of this person (education, work experience) and how it affects opportunities or ability to leave
    How the abuser forced this person to isolate from family and friends and how that might affect decisions
    The way that this assignment has influenced (if at all) the way you think about IPV
    If you selected the woman or man in a same-sex relationship, you must address how the experience of this process could be different than the heterosexual woman’s
    There is no maximum word limit for this assignment. Be sure to use 12-point Times New Roman font, double-spaced.
