Throughout the course, you have examined how historical events impact current events. Historians are often motivated to partly study the past because that knowledge can help us frame, compare, and understand modern problems. However, what responsibilities does an ordinary citizen have to know a particular history (such as different historical perspectives, different historical times, and different geographical regions) or to have the skills to study history effectively?

Historians are often motivated to partly study the past because that knowledge can help us frame, compare, and understand modern problems. However, what responsibilities does an ordinary citizen have to know a particular history (such as different historical perspectives, different historical times, and different geographical regions) or to have the skills to study history effectively?
Discussing challenges that face our world often means investigating opinions and ideas different from your own. Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful towards your peers and instructor in your discussion post and replies.
Create one initial post and follow up with at least two response posts.
For your initial post, address the following:
Discuss what responsibilities, if any, citizens should have related to being historically informed. For example, what historical inquiry skills might be important for a citizenry to have to address current global challenges?
Think about a challenge, opportunity, event, or issue that affects your community. How might being more historically informed impact how you understand that issue or how you take action?
For your response posts, address the following:
What perspectives did your peers offer that you had not considered previously regarding the value of a historically informed population?
Share other ways being more historically informed could help your peers understand or act on the community issue they identified.

In the Supreme Court case Miller v. Alabama (2012), the opinion of the court state.Do you believe that life without parole is an appropriate sentence for a juvenile?

In the Supreme Court case Miller v. Alabama (2012), the opinion of the court states:
Mandatory life without parole for a juvenile precludes consideration of his chronological age and its landmark features—among them, immaturity, impetuosity, and failure to appreciate risks and consequences.
Take a position. Do you believe that life without parole is an appropriate sentence for a juvenile?
First, title your post either “Life Without Parole Is Appropriate for Juveniles” or “Life Without Parole Is Inappropriate for Juveniles.”
Then, using the information gained in this module and the resources noted above, make your case. In what ways are juveniles culpable? Is it possible for youth to be irreparably corrupt? What developmental evidence should be taken into consideration, if any? Be sure to build your case with factual resources.
In your response to your peers, consider how well they justified their position, making use of available resources. Consider the following questions in your response posts:
Did they support their position convincingly using appropriate resources?
Which of their points make the most sense to you, even if you made your case for the opposing viewpoint?

Amanda is a 14-year-old regular education student in the eighth grade. She lives with her biological father and stepmother. There are no other children in the home. The chief concern is that Amanda often visits the school nurse’s office with complaints of headache and nausea. The typical course of action is to provide her with ibuprofen and, if this fails to resolve her complaints, her parents are called to take her home or to her physician. These events occur about 10 percent of school days and always during the afternoon. Her symptoms and their rate of occurrence have remained unchanged for several weeks. Her parents, who are quite concerned about her health, have scheduled an evaluation by a pediatric neurologist. Post your response to the following: What hypotheses do you have about the function of Amanda’s behavior?

1st half a page short essay:
reading: When you use the word “behavior” in conversation, you may be referring to anything from the day’s weather to the failure of the photocopier machine to produce desired results. When psychologists use the term behavior, they think about more than the observed activity. They also consider what the behavior achieves for the person. This function of behavior is important in understanding why the behavior is repeated.
For this short essay, you will analyze a scenario from the perspective of functions of behavior. You will consider the circumstances of the case and describe what you believe to be the function of the observed behavior. You will also develop a hypothesis regarding the observed behavior and share ideas for how the hypothesis could be tested.
Consider the following scenario:
Amanda is a 14-year-old regular education student in the eighth grade. She lives with her biological father and stepmother. There are no other children in the home. The chief concern is that Amanda often visits the school nurse’s office with complaints of headache and nausea. The typical course of action is to provide her with ibuprofen and, if this fails to resolve her complaints, her parents are called to take her home or to her physician. These events occur about 10 percent of school days and always during the afternoon. Her symptoms and their rate of occurrence have remained unchanged for several weeks. Her parents, who are quite concerned about her health, have scheduled an evaluation by a pediatric neurologist.
Post your response to the following:
What hypotheses do you have about the function of Amanda’s behavior?
How might you test these hypotheses?
2nd half a page short essay instructions:
If you have ever shopped online, you probably have some familiarity with the value of ratings. Items are often ranked based on customer reviews, and you may choose to consider products by first considering their ratings.
Psychologists use a variety of tools and techniques to assess behavior, but one of the more established techniques is also based on ratings. Behavior rating scales are typically used to assess problem behaviors and social skills. They are often used to assess behavior in children by creating a scale that can help quantitatively measure the behavior being observed, allowing the observer to rank behaviors in terms of intensity, frequency, duration, or other such measures.
For this short essay, you will analyze two existing behavior rating scales. You will also consider how you would apply these scales in your practice.
Two of the most common behavior rating scales are the Behavioral Assessment System for Children (3rd ed.) and the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (formally called the Child Behavior Checklist, CBCL). Using the Walden Library databases, access the Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY) and look up and review both of these rating scales.
Post your response to the following:
Write a description of each scale, including what measures, age range, and other pertinent information are available in the MMY review.
Describe how you would possibly use each scale in your practice.
Elaborate on the uses of behavior rating scales in the practice of behavior analysis.
Be sure to support your posts and responses with specific references to behavior-analytic theory and research. In addition to the Learning Resources, search  the internet for peer-reviewed articles to support your posts and responses. Use proper APA format and citations, including those in the Learning Resources.
