PY3067 Social Memory
Final essay due: May 13, 2024
Length of assignment: 3-4,000 words.
In this essay, students are challenged to think about the meaning and resonances of the
past in the present. Reading the newspaper or watching film or television, we are
constantly bombarded with interpretations of the past and what the past should mean to
us.
I want students to ask: How is the past used and instrumentalized? How and why is the
past represented in the way that it is?
I suggest that students begin with the notion of “present pasts” but there is some latitude
in the kind research that you might carry out. I am available for discussion and
consultation.
As part of their research, students may choose to document a memory place or museum,
conduct an ethnography of a museum or tourist site, analyze how a historical event is
presented in film or social media forums, carry out a scholarly investigation of the
memory of a historical figure, engage in a discussion of a relevant theoretical or
empirical problem in the literature.
Some questions to consider: What is the relationship between personal and collective
memory? How do collective narratives become part of our personal story? What is the
purpose of public memory? Does public memory achieve its goals? How?
All projects should include 10-15 pages of written analysis and at least six scholarly,
beyond course readings, that directly address your question. In addition, you should use
eight sources, at a minimum, from class readings. In other words, your bibliography
should include at least 14 sources that you use in your thinking and writing and cited in-
text and in the bibliography. Use both indirect and direct citations–do not overquote.

Title: “Navigating Ethical Dilemmas in ABA Therapy: A Look at the Professional Code of Ethics and its Applications”
You will be writing a paper that identifies, summarizes, and applies a published code of ethics for your profession, (ABA Therapist). The paper will include 2-3 pages of content, a title page and reference page, for a paper that is 4- to 5-pages in total length.
Using the internet and Library, locate an industry organization’s code of ethics. For example, the American Marketing Association, American Psychological Association, and the American Medical Association all have extensive codes of ethics. In addition to an internet search, you can try this resource: Code of Ethics. Once you have located and examined the code, summarize the main points of the code. Provide an example of an ethical decision or issue that may arise in your profession. Explain how the code of ethics could be used to provide guidance regarding the decision or issue. Conclude your paper with an explanation regarding the importance and benefits of codes of ethics.
Content Requirements:
The paper should consist of an introduction, body (points below), and a conclusion.
Identify your profession, and a professional code of ethics for your profession.
Summarize at least three main points of the code, and how they apply to your career.
Explain the benefits of a code of ethics with two specific examples

Annotated Bibliography for Literature Review on Systemic and Culturally Sensitive Approaches to Mental Health Care
For this assignment, you will submit an annotated bibliography on all the resources you have compiled. Please note that the same citation rules applied to other documents (such as proper paraphrasing and quotation marks where necessary) also apply to annotated bibliographies. Cutting and pasting from the abstract or the body of an article is unacceptable. Each annotation should include the following: An APA formatted reference
A summary of the purpose, methods, and findings of the article. Make sure that you are differentiating between information presented as background/introduction to the article and the actual findings from the article.
A critique of the article
Critique methodology
Describe ways the focus is or is not systemic and culturally sensitive
Discuss briefly how the article relates to attached topic(table doc) and a specific section of your literature review. For example, specify if the article will assist you with your theoretical framework or a specific concept within your topic. Each annotation should be single-spaced and kept as brief as possible. Your professor will spot-check several of your annotations for accuracy and comprehensiveness. Overall Feedback
Overall, you did well with completing the table for this week, and I now have a better sense of some aspects of your topic. One thing you want to start working on, and this is an important process of your literature review work, is starting to synthesize these findings. For example, instead of listing a separate reference for each “What we know” and “What we don’t know” section, consider where there might be some overlap. Did any of these studies find similar things? Did any of them identify similar gaps? Can you find ways to connect some of these findings and/or gaps across different studies? An important component of a successful literature review is making sure that it doesn’t turn into just an annotated bibliography (ie, where each paragraph is just a discussion of a separate article), but instead you are finding ways to connect (synthesize) the different research findings and also be able to critique some of them (whether it comes to their findings, their methods, or something else). You will get to work on these specific components as you continue in the course, but this is important to start thinking about now! The ASC (and the dissertation center) has some specific resources and tools to help with the literature review and synthesis/analysis, so I strongly encourage you to get familiar with those. https://resources.nu.edu/researchtools/researchsupport
https://resources.nu.edu/c.php?g=1007176&p=7296562
Also, pay attention to your references page. You had a few places where you missed important information.
The dissertations you located are not properly cited in APA 7 (you should be using brackets instead of parentheses, and also you need to indicate which database you retrieved the dissertation from as well as a URL, if applicable). https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/examples/published-dissertation-references
All of your peer-reviewed journal articles need to include their doi information at the end
The book chapter (Sandage et al., 2019) needs to include the editor information (see the examples under “Chapter in an edited book” section): https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/examples/edited-book-chapter-references
Your references need to be “left aligned” (currently they are “justified” – this is an easy fix within MS Word). You can tell this is the case as each reference goes to the far right side of the paper, until hitting the right margin, and thus this usually creates extra spaces that should not be there (see the Rokach & Chan reference as a clear example of those extra spaces that should not be there). -
