Baseline Information
I. State the Problem Include description of any research which is related to the subject selected. (For example: Dr. Robert XYZ of Harvard University found that students’ failure to maintain eye contact was strongly correlated with increased freshman depression.) Use APA style documentation described above to cite the source.
Select a behavior that can be easily observed and counted. The selection process is the most difficult part of the observation project.
II. Theory Statement of relationship or cause and effect. (Examples: Adults tend to avert their gaze when meeting another adult while walking in a public place. More males will pick up money from the ground than females. Males are less concerned with hygiene than females.)
III. Hypothesis (Example: Between the hours of 2:00 and 4:00 on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons adults walking from building 104 to the library on the CTC campus will fail to make eye contact with on-coming adults.) Include operational definitions. (Example: Eye contact is defined as 5 seconds of sustained gaze. Subjects are classified as adults if they are 17 years of age or older.) Operationalize the hypothesis. (On Saturday afternoons between the hours of 1:00 and 3:00 more adult males than females over the age of twenty will pick up a quarter on the floor in front of the main entrance of Sears.)
IV. Procedure or Methodology Describe the steps taken to sample behavior. (Example: The investigator disguised himself as a bush between building 104 and the library in order to complete a naturalistic observation. An assistant was trained to observe traffic in the opposite direction. Stop watches were used to time the length of each gaze. Only subjects without glasses were selected for the study. The behavior samples were taken between 1:00 and 2:00 on Monday and Wednesday afternoon. A tally sheet was used to record behavior.)
V. Results How many samples were gathered? (Example: Fifty qualified subjects, having no glasses and being 17 years of age or older, walked between building 104 and the library between the hours of 1:00 and 2:00 on Monday afternoon. Five of the subjects maintained gaze with on-coming subjects for 5 seconds or more. It was observed that only 10% of the qualified subjects maintained eye contact while others were observed to look away, read while walking, or appeared to be day dreaming….) Charts may be added to the discussion and will count toward the quality of the paper, but not as one of the six minimum requirement pages. Include appropriate age and gender comparisons.
VI. Discussion In paragraph form describe the results and discuss the what the finding indicate about human behavior. (The results indicate that adults walking across the CTC campus do not maintain eye contact with an oncoming adults. Aversion of gaze breaks relationship and isolates one person from another…. Since thirty percent of the subjects were distracted by cell phones, ten percent texting and twenty percent speaking and listening, technology may have a role in eye contact between adults walking across campus.)
Behavior Change
VII. State the Problem. (Example: Observation results (your observation) support the theory that students at CTC are not as friendly as they should be. According to the previously cited study by Dr. XYZ this could increase depression on campus, especially among freshmen.) Be specific. What needs to be changed?
VIII. Theory Statement of relationship or cause and effect. (Examples: Adults tend to maintain their gaze when meeting another adult who smiles and speaks while walking in a public place. Both males and females will pick up money from the ground if it is of higher value that ten cents. Males will increase their concern with hygiene if the negative effects are demonstrated visually. )
IX. Hypothesis Include operational definitions. (Example: Adults walking from building 104 to the library on the CTC campus will maintain eye contact with on-coming adult if the on-coming adult smiles directly at the subject and presents a verbal greeting of “Good afternoon, how is it going?” Once again define eye contact and adult. Include definitions related to the behavior change.)
X. Procedure or Methodology Include a step by step description of the procedure. Volunteers from psychology 2301 were trained by the investigator to maintain eye contact of 5 seconds or more and provide verbal greeting. Greetings included “Hi, how are you?…” Include the time, day of the week, and the manner in which the count was made as described under IV.)
XI. Results How many samples were gathered? What was the count? Was there a gender or age comparison. Carts may be included. See V.
XII. Discussion Explain what the results indicated about behavior and the relationship to other human behaviors. What outside influences could have affected the behavior? For example: observing eye contact of subjects walking across campus could easily be affected by weather conditions. For example, the observation of aggressive behavior of children at Chuck E. Cheese could be influences by the crowded conditions or the type of music in the background. What should the next step be in researching the problem? Good research may generate more questions than answers.

b. How do they suggest it should be diagnosed?
c. What treatment options does the article discuss?
d. What recommendations does the article make for the afflicted person and or their parents to help cope with the situation?
e. What evidence does the article cite to support their assertions (i.e. medical personnel, case studies, patient/parent accounts, research etc.)?
2) For the next part of the paper students should try and locate at least one research reference cited by the media article and describe how the research article was used by the press article. This section of the paper should address at a minimum the following areas, but other pertinent information in the students opinion is welcomed.
a. Was the research factually represented?
i. Did they leave research findings out?
ii. Did they misrepresent any of the findings?
iii. What aspects of the research did they correctly report?
3) The next section of this paper should use the materials from this class. The following areas need to be addressed for full credit.
a. Given what we have learned in the course, what aspects of the disorder did the media article focus on vs. areas that we have studied that could have been included:
i. i.e. causes, correlates and comorbid conditions
b. Given what we have learned about this disorder in this course, how do their treatment recommendations fit with all alternative treatment choices?
d. Given the course materials and the media materials, would you rec

I would like you to write a research paper that has an specific event (has a date), and you will write a effect/argument paper. This means you will look an an event, discuss the event, and argue the EFFECTS this event had on one aspect of the world. NARROW is the key word when it comes to your thesis and topic. I require at least 3 sources, and you must cite all your sources on a work cited page. Throughout this paper it would be nice to have a sense of focusing that happens throughout the paper. Start broad and end on a specific effect. Have a strong and noticeable thesis as well. Also having a couple side-effects are required. Little mini-effects that relate to your thesis and specific event/effects but just something extra to write about. i.e: event: 1st motorcycle built.. Main effect: increase in biker safety.. mini-effects: increase in helmet sales, increase in traffic laws, increase in motorcycle companies..

LOOKING FOR A REASONABLE BID PLEASE (no more than $80)

For this paper I propose that you write about Amendment 64 (event) which legalized Marijuana in Colorado on November 6, 2012. The effect I would then like you to focus on would be the decrease in teenager use (effect). Although you do not have to write about this topic, this is what I would like to see my paper written on. I found several strong sources for this event/effect so hopefully you can do the same. I am sorry for the small time frame but it is easily do-able. Some mini effects could include: decrease in Colorado teenagers using marijuana falls below the national average… Amendment 64 requires sales to be ID’ed and be over the age of 21.. etc

the paragraphs should be written like this:
1. Intro: brief summary (including thesis- date, event, effects)
2. History : about event (do not have to do with the causes)
3. Report Thesis
4. Component 3
5. Just bullshittin (predictions and other)
6. Conclusion

^^^ that is just a recommendation on how the format should go.

I will be glued to my email if you have any questions, i would appreciate it if you would communicate with me about all the parts of the paper. Also no need to go out of your way and use extra sophisticated words, keep it simple with emphasis on correct grammar (commas, semicolons, etc)

1. Read: Peter Singer: “The Singer Solution to World Poverty”, Peter Singer: “Famine Affluence and Morality”, Ayn Rand: “The Ethics of Emergencies”

2.
a)In no more than 300 words: Why does Singer argue that we are worse than Bob in his essay “The Singer Solution to World Poverty”?

b)In no more than 300 words: what constitutes an authentic, well-lived life according to Rand?

3.

Make a comment on each essay which are related to question 2. It should be like a paragraph. each comment

a)
Singer believes that we are all like Bob or even worse, because we also can save lives of many dying children around the world by donating to various organizations, but we don’t. The fact that Bob saved his Bugatti and not the child doesn’t make him worse than us who can save a dying child, but we don’t since we are too busy accumulating money for our own future. We go about our business everyday when we know that in many parts of the world, children are suffering, and lives can be saved by donating some money to organizations like UNICEF and Oxfam. Also, I totally agree with Singer that if we are not donating to any organization on consistent basis, then we are definitely not trying to save lives when we certainly can and hence we are just as bad as Bob or even worse, because we do not even have a Bugatti at stake. Its not like we are donating our entire life’s savings as Bob would have, had he lost the Bugatti, but just need to send a small amount and I feel if $200 is too big amount for you, then send $20 each month and the more consistent you are, the more contribution you can make towards saving a child’s life.

b)
Amy Rand in her essay “Ethics of Emergencies” presents an interesting picture of altruism and takes a rather unusual stand on man’s primary duties. Rand feels that man’s primary duties are to live well, earn whatever he can through knowledge and work, and create a society that allows everyone to work and earn their share and not exactly to help others constantly. I agree with Rand that a man must help others, but his primary duty is to help himself and his loved ones. He cannot sacrifice his own child to save ten other children and neither should he. He must instead try to save his own child’s life and if he can somehow help other children, then that is wonderful, but that is not his primary purpose in life. He must therefore first try to live according to rules of society, earn through hard work and take care of himself and his loved ones. He must however make sure his actions are in no way hurting the society. Amy doesn’t mention how man should then help others if total sacrifice is out of question. I believe that man must be willing to help others when he can. While he is trying to save his loved ones and ones he has brought them to safety, he should lend a helping hand to others who might be within his reach. If he can, that’s great, but if he cannot, then he must not fret for he was at least able to save the one child whose life should have meant the most to him and also because that child is the only being he is responsible and accountable for.

The topic:
You love listening to music. It’s your true passion. You were naturally thrilled when the newest generation ipod came out. The player promises (and early reviews have confirmed it succeeds) to reproduce sound at a quality indistinguishable from that of compact discs. You gladly shoved your older ipod in the drawer and shelled out $400 for the new machine. But when your father discovers the old ipod in the drawer he is puzzled: “did you really have to upgrade? Isn’t there something better to do with all that money?”
How would Peter Singer respond to his question?
How would Ayn Rand respond?
What would you say to all three of them?

Please use at least 4 quotes from (each) the Singer and Rand readings.
