Describe the ways in which you approach finding balance among the competing demands of school, professional, personal, and social worlds. Do particular beliefs help you in your quest for balance? Are there strategies or methods of structuring your life that help you, not just to juggle everything, but to thrive in the midst of competing demands? If you do not currently have a plan for achieving this kind of balance, please outline one with some detail about how it fits into your life and the value it will have in your life when implemented.

Sociological Book Analysis
You will need to write a 5 page book analysis linking the book you have chosen to the topics we have discussed in this course. The report should be 5 pages long, double spaced, 12 point font. Below is the rubric for the analysis – you will be graded on providing an appropriate short summary of the book, and on the subsequent sociological analysis.
You should link the book to at least one key theme we have studied in class, but you may use up to 2 themes in your paper. I will be looking for an in-depth analysis of the theme as it is portrayed in the book, rather than a superficial mention of topics that are present. In order to make that evidently clear, I ask that you underline each topic you introduce. (see below for an example)
For example, in many of the books, family violence is heavily featured – you could choose to discuss how the violence is portrayed in the book and compare it to the data we learned on violence in the class. Or perhaps, you could see how the issue of infidelity is portrayed in the book versus what we know of prevalence and impact of infidelity on marriages today.
Therapeutic
For many years, the ethical dilemma of playing both a therapeutic role and a forensic role has been debated in the literature. Some authorities argue that there is always a conflict of interest in such dual relationships, while other authorities argue that the two roles can be reconciled and impartiality can be maintained.
Tasks:
Utilize the ethical decision-making process you learned about in M1 Assignment 3 to create a 7- to 8-page argumentative paper supporting your stand. First, compare and contrast the roles, articulate the potential ethical conflicts, and discuss how those conflicts might be managed. Then, in a reasoned fashion, develop an argument for whether the two roles—therapeutic and forensic—should ethically coincide.
The course paper is essentially an argumentative essay. Refer to the following for guidelines about writing argumentative essays:
· Refer for tips about writing argumentative essays
Ensure that you follow these instructions:
· Identify and articulate the similarities and differences between the therapeutic and forensic roles for both assessment and treatment.
· Articulate the potential ethical conflicts and discuss how those conflicts might be managed.
· Using multiple sources, defend your thesis on how and why therapeutic and forensic roles should or should not be reconciled.
· Be sure to address the issues of dual relationships as they apply to assessment as well as treatment.
· Ensure that you argue for a particular side of the issue (not arguing both sides) and that your argument is well-supported by scholarly literature, professional ethical guidelines, and the law.
· Include solid reasoning and a compelling thesis.
· Remember, a strong argument always supports its ideas and proves the other side wrong. Make sure to both support your views with credible arguments and sources and refute the other side.
Use proper grammar and spelling. Additionally, the paper should be written and formatted in APA style.
How Does this Relate to Me?
Prior to beginning this discussion, select a peer-reviewed, scholarly article from the Ashford University Library on a particular aspect of language acquisition studied from a psychological perspective.
- Part 1: As you were reading this week, what vocabulary was used that was unfamiliar to you or might be to your peers? Identify three to five words from this week’s content and research each word in the context of learning and cognition. Explain, in your own words, what each word means and how it is used in the context of learning and cognition.
- Part 2: Based on the week’s discourse and content, you will access the Ashford University Library and research one scholarly article pertaining to language acquisition published within the last ten years. Provide a summary explanation of the findings in the context of your article. What implications should scholars consider based on this information? Support your explanation utilizing your course sources and your researched article.
- Part 3: Consider the events from the past week of your life. How does the ability to read, write, and communicate effectively affect our behaviors, actions, and knowledge development? Describe one personal real-life example of an occurrence that indicates the possible consequences when language acquisition is not well-developed or when language development creates boundaries, such as educational or employment opportunities. As you share this information, consider and apply the professional standards found in the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct.

Include records of any pervious suicide attempts, or history of mental illness in themselves or their family. Were their warning signs that the individual was suicidal prior to committing suicide?

Philosophical Differences Between Qualitative And Quantitative Paradigms And Approaches
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 1 in the Frost e-book, Qualitative Research Methods in Psychology, and the required journal articles for this week. Also review last week’s PSY635 Week Two Discussion Scenario (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. In that scenario, the three instructors realized there are limits to the insights they can gain through anonymous counting of discussion posts. The instructors would like to answer two additional research questions: (a) How do their students actually feel about the intervention? and (b) How do students view the influence of the intervention on their learning inside and outside of the classroom (if applicable)?
In your initial post, compare the characteristics of appropriate research designs and recommend a qualitative research design that would facilitate answering the instructors’ additional questions. Explain the philosophical paradigm underlying the recommended approach. Evaluate the required articles for this week and describe the assumptions the instructors might have to set aside as they enter into a qualitative research study. Be sure to identify any ethical issues that may apply to the research. Review the characteristics of the quantitative approach you described in the Week Two discussion. Explain the ways in which the quantitative approach and paradigm differs from the qualitative approach and paradigm you have recommended here
