Mental images and perception

August 28, 2020 Leave a comment Not applicable, Psychology and Education

Based on what you know about mental imagery (you can either confine your response to visual imagery, or include imagery in other senses), how do you think our ability to think might change if we could not form mental images? Would our perception change if we could not form mental pictures? Finally, conclude your discussion by summarizing what you think is learned about the importance of imagery in human cognition by considering the first two questions.

About this Assignment
For the Corporate Finance 301 assignment, you will submit a research paper that analyzes an organization’s financial status by examining the financial statements that are publicly available through an online inquiry. A publicly-traded organization will be the foundation of this research paper. You will apply knowledge acquired in the course and the research paper should follow APA formatting style. Audience: upper-level business students.

Project Prompts
Write a 1,000-1,200-word analysis discussing a company’s financial situation by evaluating corporate financial data. Select a publicly-traded organization to analyze the company’s financial statements using data from the most recent year. Define each corporate financial statement and explore the data categories within each statement as studied in the course. Analyze each financial statement (balance, income, cash flow) and explain the purpose of each corporate financial statement. Also include what the financial data indicates regarding the financial position of the corporation. Base your analysis on the following financial statements:

Balance sheet
Income statement
Cash flow statement
(The statements may be found in a recent annual report; in the company’s 10K filing on the SEC’s EDGAR database; or from other sources.)

Using Sources
You may refer to the course material for supporting evidence, but you must also use at least three credible, outside sources and cite them using APA format. Please include a mix of both primary and secondary sources, with at least one source from a scholarly peer-reviewed journal. If you use any Study.com lessons as sources, please also cite them in APA (including the lesson title and instructor’s name).

Primary sources are first-hand accounts such as interviews, advertisements, speeches, company documents, statements, and press releases published by the company in question.
Secondary sources come from peer-reviewed scholarly journals, such as the Journal of Management. You may use like JSTOR, Google Scholar, and Social Science Research Network to find articles from these journals. Secondary sources may also come from reputable websites with .gov, .edu, or .org in the domain.

Homegrown Extremism

August 28, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Law

Based upon your analysis of the readings, what are the key differences between homegrown extremists and terrorists? What are some common reasons that would cause someone who is otherwise of sound mind* to become a homegrown extremist? In other words, what did the readings tell you about the psychology of terrorism? Describe the difference between a purely domestic extremist and someone inspired by international causes, and provide examples for each.

* Note: As mentioned in the lesson, this course specifically excludes those with serious mental dysfunctions since their cause is most likely not the real root issue of their extremism or violence — the mental dysfunction is.
