This midterm exam is focused on the Mexican-American War. This conflict not only destroyed the lives of many US and Mexican families, but transformed both of the nations involved. A new border was drawn, political sovereignty was restructured, and the US extended its frontier once again, while Mexico lost a massive amount of territory. Write an essay addressing both parts of the question below:
1) What were the causes of the Mexican-American War. 2) How did the internal political contexts of both Mexico and the US shape the march to war and its outcome?

For this reflection paper, I would like you to think about yourself as an example of someone who has been a learner in multiple contexts throughout your life.  Identify a learning situation you experienced early in life (anything you can remember before you were 15 years old).  Describe that experience, what you learned  in that experience, and how you learned it. 

Then, apply concepts from two of the following options to that experience:

1. Cognitive perspectives (information processing, dual store memory model, levels of processing model)

2. Piaget’s cognitive developmental model (stages of development, assumptions of the theory, neo-Piagetian principles)

3. Types of Knowledge and Concept Development (declarative, episodic, semantic, autobiographical memories, theories of concept learning, changes in concept, schema and script, personal theories, worldviews, etc.).

Please use outside literature to bolster the points that you make.

Students will explore the concepts of theology, spirituality, life experience and interconnectedness.

Students will explore their personal beliefs of God, spirituality, health and wellness.

Please Read the Instructions For Task 4 Carefully. INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED STRICTLY

INSTRUCTIONS:

Chapters 8,9,10,11 (Attached) were covered in the module relating to the engineering/design foundations of human systems engineering.

Highlight some human factors or design implications from these chapters of relevance to your specific project focus and/or the general domain your project concerns (Human Factors in Airport Security). Be sure to look at it from both the Security Personnel and Passenger (better experience) Perspectives, also make sure to use examples and come with potential solutions for the implications chosen at the end.

For this assignment, you are to write a paper 5 pages, excluding the cover page and references page, addressing the differences between addiction, tolerance and withdrawal.

You will first need to research the effects for the following classes of psychoactive drugs: opiates (heroin, Fentynal, Oxycodone); stimulants (Methamphetamine, Cocaine, MDMA (methylenedioxymethamphetamine), cannabis, tobacco, and; depressants (alcohol, PCP, Ketamine).

Next, use the additional resources in this module, course lectures and any other outside sources, to research the general effects of the following classes of psychotropic medications: Anti-depressants (SSRIs, Tricyclics, MAOIs); Anti-psychotics (typical, mood stabilizers), and: Anti-obsessive agents (anti-anxiety agents, SSRIs stimulants).

Imagine you are explaining the differences between tolerance and withdrawal to a person who is convinced withdrawal and tolerance means that a person is in fact addicted to a drug.  Address the following questions and be sure to cite the sources in your narrative and list references using APA style: 

In clear terms, explain what is tolerance and what is withdrawal, how these conditions develop, and if these are permanent or temporary conditions. You do need to explain every form of tolerance. 
Next explain and describe what are the key characteristics of addiction and how addiction differs withdrawal and tolerance to a drug. 
Now briefly explain how the following classes of psychoactive drugs affect the brain and can produce addictive effects: opioids (heroin, Fentanyl, Oxycodone); stimulants (cocaine, methamphetamine, MDMA (methylenedioxymethamphetamine); tobacco, cannabis, and  depressants (alcohol, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, PCP, Ketamine).  There is no need to explain each specific drug or its effects; just explain the common general effects of each drug class on the brain and central nervous system.
Finally, explain why opiates, tobacco, cannabis, stimulants, and depressants can lead to addiction, yet most psychiatric medications such as antidepressants, anti-psychotics, mood stabilizers, and anti-mania drugs do not lead to addiction. Explain the reason for this difference?
Brief write a summary conclusion of your narrative.
