Homework Help for Psychology

After viewing the clip "Marijuana:  A Second Class Addiction" in the lecture materials, write a paper in support or disagreement with the idea of the popular statement "you can't get addicted to marijuana."  In addition to your opinion, be sure to include valid research to support your opinion.  Cite your sources (APA style) and be sure at least one source would be considered educationally credible (text book, research article, etc.).  If you are uncertain about the credibility of your source, consult the "library resources" tab.  While I am more concerned with content then length, if I were to do this assignment it would take be about 1.5 to 2 pages.

if you participate in a youth subculture, explore the positive and negative impacts it may have had on your development 

What caused the universe to exist? Questions about the origin of the cosmos, the Big Bang theory, and what, if anything, existed before the universe are areas of ongoing inquiry.

How can the existence of evil and suffering be reconciled with the existence of an all-powerful and benevolent deity? This question arises within the context of philosophy of religion and challenges the notions of the existence of a God who is both all-good and all-powerful.

What is the basis of ethical behavior? Are there objective moral truths, or are morals subjective and culturally relative? Questions regarding the nature of morality, ethical decision-making, and the existence of moral facts remain open to debate.

Are human actions predetermined by factors such as genetics and environment, or do individuals possess genuine free will? This question delves into the idea of whether our actions are purely determined or if we have the capacity for autonomous decision-making.

What is the fundamental nature of reality? Are there fundamental building blocks of the universe, and if so, what are they? Questions about the ultimate constituents of reality and the nature of existence fall under this category.

How does the mind relate to the body? What is the relationship between mental states and physical states? This involves exploring whether the mind and body are distinct entities or if mental phenomena can be reduced to physical processes.

What is consciousness? How do subjective experiences arise from the physical processes of the brain? This includes understanding qualia (subjective experiences), the nature of self-awareness, and the hard problem of consciousness.

For this assignment, choose one picture or image from your environment, or one that you really
like (could be an image found online) that you will analyze using concepts from sensation and
perception. To be specific, you can use any monocular cue to 3-D perception, such as relative
size, relative height, shadow, occlusion, linear perspective, etc…).

The goal of this assignment is for you to be able to communicate important concepts in Depth
perception. These concepts help form our perceptions and understanding of the world around
us.
Your selected picture should be copied and pasted into a Word document (see my image
above). Below your picture, you will use a minimum of five perceptual concepts (monocular
cues) to explain and analyze your image. In other words, how is depth perception conveyed in
your image? Name the monocular cue, explain what it is or how it works, and describe where in
the picture we can observe it. Explain this in plain English, using simple terms. You will then
upload your assignment in the Lea Dropbox by Nov. 2.
Each picture/image analysis will be graded based on how well you (a) follow the instructions
here, (b) copied and pasted a picture from your environment into a Word file, and (c)
communicate correct information. If you do all of these things, you will get full credit. If you
don’t (e.g., you don’t enter an explanation of the image analysis along with your image file,
your analysis/explanation makes no sense, or your analysis contains inaccurate information,
etc…), you will lose points according

Short summary of psychology Its origin and evolution 

Think of a movie where the actors have portrayed somebody from a different dialect area and either succeeded so well that they fooled you or failed miserably. What about linguistic stereotypes? Can you think of any linguistic stereotypes you noticed in a movie? 

Your answers should not be more than a paragraph. Simply think of linguistic stereotypes of a particular accent or dialect in a movie. Ensure to include the film's name and character(s). 

Here are two sample:

Response#1: In Deadpool and Deadpool 2, a character named Dopinder is an Indian cab driver. He only appears in the films briefly, but his role is a stereotype in that one of the few jobs Indians do is drive cabs. Although, that may be the only or one of the few stereotypes portrayed about this character. In the first film, he is only in a quick scene, while in the second film, his character develops a story arc, which is rare for these types of roles. Dopinder is played by Karan Soni, who is of Indian descent but born in America. Therefore, Soni has no Indian accent in his regular speech. However, when he plays Dopinder, his character has an Indian accent, which is done well. It sounds like he uses the retroflex ‘t’ and ‘d’ instead of alveolar ‘t’ and ‘d’, a noticeable and well-known marker for the Indian accent.

Response#2: In the movie Titanic, a character named Rose Dewitt Bukater is portrayed as a wealthy American Socialite. Rose, the film's main protagonist, is played by Kate Winslet, a British actress. Kate Winslet was born in England and, therefore, acquired English with a British accent, showing different pronunciations, grammar, vocabulary, etc. One of the most common differences between American and British accents is the pronunciation of /r/ in the middle or ending of a word. British people typically pronounce /r/ when it appears at the beginning of words. However, American people tend to pronounce /r/ throughout the term. This is demonstrated as Kate plays the upper-class, all-American character Rose; she can produce a compelling American accent due to the pronunciation of /r/ in words like “nerve.” The upper-class status of Rose is reflected through her dialogue speech. Rose uses standard and sophisticated language in all contexts; she even uses formal vocabulary when referring to other people. This is evident in her conversation with Jack:

Jack: “Well, it's a simple question. Do you love the guy?”...

Rose: “You are rude and uncouth, and presumptuous…Jack... Mister Dawson, it's been a pleasure.”

As seen in the conversation, when Rose refers to Jack by his first name, she corrects herself and calls him “Mister Dawson.” Instead, Jack (a lower-class artist) refers to the other person as a “guy.” In addition, Jack utilizes informal language, such as pronouncing “you” as /ja/, contrasting Rose’s formal speech. Lastly, Rose uses super polite forms such as “forgive me” when she disagrees with other men, then explains her reasoning. This presence of euphemism aligns with Lakoff’s claim on women’s speech, where women’s speech reflects their subordinate status in society.
