Document Summary

Although this seems like a legitimate idea to try to civilize the world and provide justice on international crime, universal jurisdiction is less potent and more problematic than expected in application. Supporters of universal jurisdiction commend its potential to bring wicked criminals to justice and end impunity for atrocity. But the idea of universal jurisdiction is not only met with supporters but also with critics who condemn the imposition of one state"s judiciary power into the sovereignty of another state"s territory. This is referred to as the tyranny of judges . Jurisdiction indicates the power of a state to exercise authority over all persons and things within its territory, therefore, when another state is trying to impose universal jurisdiction imminent problems arise. This yields to the principles of territoriality, nationality, residence, protection of state, etc. With this in mind, it is obvious that there cannot exist an all encompassing, truly unlimited, universal jurisdiction.

For many of us, smartphones have become indispensable, but they have also come under fire
for their impact on the way we think and behave, especially among children. Two of the largest
investors in Apple Inc. are urging the iPhone maker to take action against smartphone addiction
among children over growing concerns about the negative effects of technology. An open letter
to Apple on January 6, 2018 from New York-based JANA Partners and the California State
Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS) stated that the firm must do more to help children
fight smartphone addiction. These two shareholders together control about $2 billion in Apple
stock. The investors’ letter urged Apple to offer tools to prevent smartphone addiction and to
provide more parental options for monitoring children’s smartphone usage. The iOS operating
system for Apple smartphones and tablets already has limited parental controls for restricting

apps, features such as location sharing, and access to certain types of content. The investors
felt Apple needs to do more—for example, enable parents to specify the age of the user of the
phone during setup, establish limits on screen time, select hours of the day the phone can be
used, and block social media services.
The average American teenager who uses a smartphone receives his or her first phone at age
10 and spends over 4.5 hours a day on it (excluding texting and talking). Seventy-eight percent
of teens check their phones at least hourly and 50 percent report feeling “addicted” to their
phones. The investors’ letter cited a number of studies on the negative effects of heavy
smartphone and social media use on the mental and physical health of children whose brains
are still developing. These range from distractions in the classroom to a higher risk of suicide
and depression. A recent survey of over 2,300 teachers by them Center on Media and Child
Health and the University of Alberta found that 67 percent of the teachers reported that the
number of students who are negatively distracted by digital technologies in the classroom is
growing. Seventy-five percent of these teachers think students’ ability to focus on educational
tasks has decreased. Research by psychology professor Jean Twenge of San Diego State
University found that U.S. teenagers who spend 3 hours a day or more on electronic devices
are 35 percent more likely, and those who spend 5 hours, or more are 71 percent more likely,
to have a risk factor for suicide than those who spend less than 1 hour. This research also
showed that eighth-graders who are heavy users of social media have a 27 percent higher risk
of depression. Those who spend more than the average time playing sports, hanging out with
friends in person, or doing homework have a significantly lower risk. Additionally, teens who
spend 5 or more hours a day on electronic devices are 51 percent more likely to get less than 7
hours of sleep per night (versus the recommended 9).
Nicholas Carr, who has studied the impact of technology on business and culture, shares these
concerns. He has been highly critical of the Internet’s effect on cognition, and these cognitive
effects extend to smartphone use. Carr worries that excessive use of mobile devices diminishes
the capacity for concentration and contemplation. Carr recognizes that smartphones provide
many useful functions in a very handy form. However, this extraordinary usefulness gives them
too much influence on our attention, thinking, and behaviour. Smartphones shape our thoughts
in deep and complicated ways, and their effects persist even when we aren’t using the devices.
Research suggests that the intellect weakens as the brain grows dependent on the technology.
Carr points to the work of Adrian Ward, a cognitive psychologist and marketing professor at
the University of Texas at Austin, who for a decade has been studying how smartphones and
the Internet affect people’s thoughts and judgment. Ward has observed that using a smartphone,
or even hearing one ring or vibrate, produces distractions that make it harder to concentrate on
a difficult problem or job. Divided attention impedes reasoning and performance.
A study published in Applied Cognitive Psychology in April 2017 examined how smartphones
affected learning in a lecture class with 160 students at the University of Arkansas at
Monticello. It found that students who didn’t bring their phones to the classroom scored a full
letter-grade higher on a test of the material presented than those who brought their phones. It
didn’t matter whether students who brought their phones used them or not. A study of 91 U.K.
secondary schools, published in 2016 in the journal Labour Economics, found that when
schools ban smartphones, students’ examination scores go up substantially, and the weakest
students benefit the most. Carr also observes that using smartphones extensively can be
detrimental to social skills and relationships. Connecting with “friends” electronically via
smartphones is not a substitute for genuine person-to-person relationships and face-to-face
conversations.

Section 1: The Stressor

Label this section like you see it above, and under this section, simply define the stressor you chose. Explain why it is a source of stress for you. This can be a problem that pertains to you (or doesn’t), either past or present or even future. 2-3 paragraphs is probably all you need for this section.

Examples of a stressful situation or event that you might choose (you are not limited to just these): Work overload; addictive habit; personality/emotional/behavioral issues; financial issues; difficult relationship; lack of organization; housing issues; wedding or other major event; study/student/work issues; health/medical issues, Corona anxiety; break-up/relationship event; relocating; job interview; job loss; etc.

Though a personal situation/issue/relationship of yours - past or present - is preferable because it will be personally applicable (thus helpful) to you, you are not restricted to a personal experience in order to complete this paper of creative stress management. Consider something that is applicable to you.

Guidelines for procrastinators: this section is relatively easy. Whenever you can, think about a topic you’d like to write about for the paper. Once you have your topic and you are ready to sit down and write, just listen to your heart. Examine your feelings regarding the situation.

Section 2: The Interventions

Generate some techniques that can be used to manage the stress associated with the problem you identified. Be sure they are labeled like this:

Behavioral/Environmental technique: (describe the technique you chose to reduce the stress)
Cognitive Appraisal technique: (describe the technique you chose to reduce the stress)

Next, provide stress-reducing SUPPORTIVE techniques that will assist in overall stress reduction like this:

Supportive Techniques

Emotional Arousal technique: (describe TWO different emotional arousal techniques to reduce the stress)
Physical Arousal technique: (describe TWO different physical arousal techniques to reduce the stress)

Tip: Remember, in general, interventions on the Behav/Environ and the cognitive appraisal levels are the more dynamic stress management techniques that can provide specific stress management and relief for a specific problem. Techniques on the Emotional Arousal and Physical Arousal levels are typically just supportive and back-up techniques to provide overall general assistance in reducing general daily stress.

Also, remember that there are always various good ways to solve a problem that is causing stress. Usually all you need to do is spend some time working at it from different directions (and different levels along the stress hourglass) until a number of viable solutions surface, and sometimes we have to try a number of different strategies in order to succeed. For instance, anyone who has tried to quit smoking has probably tried more than one method before successfully quitting.

Guidelines for procrastinators: You are now in the main section of the paper. Assemble the viable stress management interventions, properly labeled and relative to the stated problem. If needed, refresh yourself by re-reading chapters 3, 4, 5 to be sure you are labeling your chosen interventions correctly.

Section 3: Conclusion and Summary

After you have described the stressful situation (or event, or person, or behavior, etc.) and clearly displayed and labeled the various techniques (what we have been calling "interventions") to reduce or eliminate the stress, summarize your thoughts and relate it to what you have learned from this course, and what you have learned about yourself through this course. Do you feel you can better recognize stressors around you that might trigger you? Do you feel more control over these stressors and your ability to lessen their impact through applying stress management techniques? Here is your chance to show off any self-knowledge and self-improvement that you might have gained through this course! This narrative would probably take a whole page or more.

Guidelines for procrastinators: You are now in the “Research” part of your paper. If you have been staying on track, this should be relatively easy as well. Just read your work, and think about what you wrote and how it relates to you, to your growth, to your self-insight, to your development of stress management skills. If you are having trouble with this, then find some quiet time – preferably alone - in a place that is free from distractions. This will help you get in touch with your inner feelings and thoughts about the topic you have selected.
