To prepare for this Capstone Project Assignment:

Review the Learning Resources and pay special attention to the articles in the Walden Writing Center for tips and extended explanations on how to organize and conduct a literature review.
Investigate literature from a variety of sources, such as the Walden Library, books, professional magazines, and newspapers for insights that describe and support your Capstone Project topic.

What scholarly knowledge is available that has produced insights into your Capstone Project topic?
What other knowledge or knowledge formations are available that have produced insights into your Capstone Project topic?

To complete this Capstone Project:

Create an Annotated Bibliography of 8–12 resources you are considering for your Mini Literature Review.
Each reference (APA formatted) should be followed by two paragraphs; a summary of the article and the rationale for using this specific reference to address requirements for your final project (see Final Project guide for the requirements). The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the quality, accuracy, and relevance of the resource to the topic.
The resources for your Annotated Bibliography need to address your health or healthcare topic and the Program Learning Outcomes. For example, you could search for “HIV” (a possible topic) AND “program planning” (a Program Learning Outcome) to find articles on both.
You should have at least one resource for each Program Learning Outcome. This will provide you with information and support for each Program Learning Outcome and each aspect of the Final Project requirements.

All resources must be in proper APA format. 
Once you receive feedback from your Instructor, review the feedback and revise your Bibliography taking that feedback into account.

Suppose you are responsible for developing a plan to modify behavior. You have applied a number of more conventional interventions, but none of your attempts has been successful. Under what circumstances would you consider more controversial methods?

POSITIVE PUNISHMENT: A CASE STUDY
Suppose you are responsible for developing a plan to modify behavior. You have applied a number of more conventional interventions, but none of your attempts has been successful. Under what circumstances would you consider more controversial methods?
Presentation punishment, also known as positive punishment, involves presenting an aversive stimulus after a behavior has occurred. The objective is to apply a negative outcome in response to an undesirable outcome. The hope is that the experience of the outcome will cause the individual to avoid the behavior in the future. There are various types of presentation punishment, some more controversial than others.
For this Assignment, you will review a case study in which a controversial form of presentation punishment is considered. You will analyze the circumstances of the case study and ethical issues presented by the use of presentation punishment. You will also explain and defend your position on the matter.
Review the readings, weekly video introduction, and the required media found in this week’s Learning Resources to gain an understanding of punishment by stimulus presentation. Note: It will be critical for you to also take the time to review all the required media programs for this week prior to completing this Discussion.
Consider the following case study:
A child with autism is engaging in self-injurious behaviors (e.g., head banging). A number of interventions have been attempted that do not involve punishment, but none has been successful. You think that the use of a presentation punishment (e.g., electric shock) may be effective.
Review the BACB® Ethics for Behavior Analysts and the Learning Resources for this week to support your findings for this Assignment.
Search the internet and/or the Walden Library for two or three articles and/or position papers related to using punishment by stimulus presentation as an effective practice.
Assignment (1–2 pages):
Explain the ethical issues that must be addressed for punishment to be used as an intervention for the case of the child with autism.
Explain whether you believe presentation punishment is appropriate for the case of the child with autism.
Use your BACB® Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts to support your findings within your explanation.
In your explanation, include citations to at least two articles to support your findings.
Be sure to support your Assignment with specific references to behavior-analytic theory and research. In addition to the Learning Resources, search the Walden Library and/or the internet for peer-reviewed articles to support your Assignment. Use proper APA format and citations, including those in the Learning Resources.

World War II shaped the course of American history perhaps more than any other set of events. Overseas, the U.S. abandoned neutrality and engaged with allies to a greater extent than ever before as Germany and Japan rampaged across Europe and Asia. At home, the U.S. pursued full-scale war mobilization with a level government spending that dwarfed the New Deal and unprecedented control over economic production. In the end, the bloodiest and most destructive conflict in history cost 60-80 million lives around the world and reshaped life for various groups of Americans during and after the war. What aspects of World War II at home or abroad do you think might connect to issues and events in the world today?

Your description should be about 100-150 words and should elaborate various aspects the historical topic and present-day topics and include sub-questions that clarify and extend the main question.
24. World War II

Part II.
After World War II, U.S. economic and military power extended beyond the Western Hemisphere into Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa while global powers like Britain and France retreated from their empires. As the U.S. expanded its influence around the world, it actively sought to “contain” communism to the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe through both interventions in foreign countries as well as the rapid expansion of nuclear weapons and aerospace technology. At home, the Cold War took the form of “red scare” anti-communist hysteria that required adherence to Christian nationalist values and attacked academics, Hollywood figures, and even government officials as “deviants.” Do you think there are connections between various aspects of the Cold War and issues and events today?

25. The Cold War

Part III
The G.I. Bill, the continuation of key New Deal programs, suburbanization, and the Baby Boom contributed to a massive expansion of the consumer capitalist economy in Post-WWII America. The growing middle class could now afford to own homes, automobiles, and a huge variety of household goods recently considered luxury items. But such affluence was not enjoyed equally among all groups of Americans. Racial minorities were largely shut out of homeownership, perhaps the most important aspect of middle class life, and continued racial oppression prompted new efforts in the struggle for Black freedom. Traditional gender roles were reinforced by the men who controlled the major institutions of society and women who weren’t confined to the home were limited in their opportunities outside the home. Also simmering below the surface of the Affluent Society was a cultural rebellion, mostly among young people, represented by Rock ‘n’ Roll, jazz, and the beat movement.

26. The Affluent Society

Part IV
The 1960s in America was a decade of social and political volatility at home and brewing Cold War conflict overseas. The counterculture movement emerged as a rejection of the conformist middle class values of consumer capitalism. The Black Freedom movement entered a new phase with Sit-Ins, Freedom Rides, and other direct action protests confronting ongoing Jim Crow racial oppression in the South, while inner city black populations in places like Los Angeles and Detroit exploded in violence in response to grinding poverty and racist police brutality, prompting the Black Power movement and new ideas about Black identity. Latinos, women, the LGBT community, environmental activists, and others organized similarly against various forms of oppression and injustice. Several of these protest movements dovetailed with the growing antiwar movement that emerged as the U.S. waged a brutal war in Vietnam. Cold War anxieties were already heightened after the botched Bay of Pigs invasion and the subsequent Missile Crisis in Cuba, which had brought the world closer than ever to the brink of nuclear war.
