In what ways was Europe united in the last decade of the 20th century? Europe became unified through both economic and cultural means in the final decade of the 20thCentury. One of the most important efforts for unification was the European Union (EU), “replacing the European Economic Community as the primary political and economic institution for cooperating European countries” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012). The efforts to unify Europe were further advanced in the last decade of the century by the extensive use of communications and information technologies in a technological revolution that saw a transformation that also brought people around the world into closer and quicker contact than ever before” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012). What were the political implications of European unity? Many of the countries in Eastern Europe began to adopt new democratic systems of government with elected leadership and new reforms to adjust to free market systems. Likewise, a multitude of new political parties formed, coinciding with an influx of private book publishers, which became greater opportunities to spread new ideas. The political parties that remained communist chose to do so while changing their platforms to include more democratic ideas and distance themselves from the atrocities of Soviet communism, while still advocating for more government control of economic matters. However, a few exceptions still remained, such as Belarus, “which in 2011 remained a command economy under the 17-year dictatorship of Alexander Lukashenko” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012). What were the social implications of European unity? As a result of the new efforts to unify, Europe saw a massive influx of immigration which worked to create a much more diverse population than ever before. Additionally, those who were used to the economics of communist governments had to make “adjustments in their cultural lives that were almost as difficult as those in their economic and political lives” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012). There were also issues regarding religion in the new Europe with many such as Pope John Paul II arguing that the EU needed to invoke an acknowledgment of Europe’s Christian roots in the proposed draft of an EU constitution. “The debate died out when the constitution failed to be approved in France and the Netherlands, although the idea that Europe is a ‘Christian’—or Judeo-Christian—place continues to be held by many and informs some of the anti-immigrant political movements that have gained prominence in the 21st century, discussed in further detail later in this chapter” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012). What were the economic implications of European unity? “The collapse of Communism and the end of the protected trading bloc COMECON left the economies of the former Soviet Union and its former satellites exposed to entirely new conditions” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012). One of the approaches to solving the issues that arose after introducing a subsidized socialis ...

One of the ways that Europe became more united in the last decade of
One of the ways that Europe became more united in the last decade of the 20th century was by The Maastricht Treaty. This conference was held in the Netherlands in 1991 and one of the things that were agreed on was a single currency called a “Euro” (Shubert, Goldstein, 2012). The countries in the European Union felt that this single currency would be beneficial for travelers and financial transactions. Although the idea of the “Euro” was great and it was beneficial to many of the countries in the union, it wasn’t all peaches and cream as it relates to economic status in Europe. A few years after the financial housing crisis in the U.S. (2008) Europe found itself in a crisis of their own. “Soaring deficits in Greece, Ireland, and Portugal led to sovereign debt crises in 2010 and 2011, as creditors feared that these countries would be unable to repay their loans” (Shubert, Goldstein, 2012). The economic crisis in Europe was likened only to the Great Depression in the United States. Additionally, this treaty set guidelines for the health and safety of workers, and immigration and crime prevention policies. Some of the political issues that the newfound unity encountered was trying to live with new forms of government, often unproven government. The fall of communism was rapid for the most part, but trying to find a political party to successfully fill its place was a different story. Political parties were popping up everywhere, and most didn’t know how to choose between them. Social issues that arose included the migration of millions of people into different countries in the European Union. Many of the immigrants were not initially welcomed, as there was still a sense of different classes within the people, including being better than the immigrants. Although the influx of immigrants was not large during the end of the 20th century it was beginning and grew to extraordinary numbers in the first decade of the 21st century. Although nations in Europe were on a new track there was still a learning curve and there was a great deal of transformation that needed to occur. One of the major ways that the Cold War contributed to the division in Europe was that so many of the nations basically needed to pick a side to be on, either the Soviet Union in eastern Europe, or with the United States in western Europe. Many of these nations were not especially interested in having to choose because of all of the devastation they had already encountered. The role of nationalism was a great thing in general in European countries except for the realism that they had to share the country with immigrants with which they did not necessarily see eye to eye with, and possibly felt that they were on a different social class. Genocide was a common thing because there was still the same thoughts that many other people were not capable of the same intellect or prosperity, and that having them in the same country was actually bringing the country down.

T
he unsuccessful Doha Round and the future of the World Trade Organiza-
tion (WTO) have been the subject of intense debate recently. The misadven-
tures of the past ten years of trade talks have led many scholars to become
more pessimistic about the future of multilateral trade agreements, while the opti-
mists keep busy suggesting alternatives for current negotiations. The one issue both
sides agree upon is that the existence of an international organization is a necessary,
inevitable step toward international free trade. As a consequence of this general
agreement, suggested alternatives revolve around reforming the negotiations arena
and rehashing its role.
Once revamped, can the WTO indeed make a lasting contribution to free trade?
This article attempts to answer this question by outlining Ludwig von Mises’s views

on the role and usefulness of international organizations and trade agreements.
Unlike our contemporaries, Mises believed that the failure of international organiza-
tions was inevitable in the presence of domestic economic intervention. Whereas
negotiating governments are attached to the idea of interventionism and thrive on
anticapitalistic mentalities, peace and free trade require the unhampered development
of free enterprise. In Mises’s view, as long as the inherent tension between domestic
and foreign policy persists, international trade-planning bodies cannot bring about
free trade.
The purpose of this article is therefore twofold. First, it highlights Mises’s
contributions to the topic of foreign-trade policy, which have so far received little
attention. Mises offered noteworthy insights on the shortcomings of international
organizations established after World War II, and his remarks foreshadow half a
century of international trade negotiations. This stands as a testimony to his acumen
and mastery of the topic. Second, following Mises, I argue that the current impasse
of WTO negotiations was caused by the pursuit of international agreements that
clash with domestic policies in a manner similar to the League of Nations’ failure
to preserve peace in the early twentieth century.
To this end, the article is structured as follows. The first section briefly outlines
the international economic landscape— that is, the international trade system and the
free-trade movement, from the beginning of the twentieth century up to the present
day. The next section turns to Mises’s contributions, as set out in his works and

The Divergent Post-Communist Paths to Democracy by Simeon Djankov
Studying the experience in the quarter century since the fall of the Berlin Wall, Simeon Djankov shows that the post-communist economic project has been more successful than the political project. It appears that while post-communist reformers more or less knew how to do economic reform, few had any idea how to build democracy. As a result, the divergence in democracy and political rights is 3 to 4 times larger than the divergence in economic freedom and the ease of doing business. The analysis suggests that democracy is not harder to predict than economic evolution—history predicts it well. However, at the start of post-communist transformation social scientists just didn’t know how to predict political evolution. Recent authoritarian regressions in Hungary and Poland, countries with successful economic reforms, present a new challenge to researchers.

Here are the key differences between West Germany and South Korea in terms of international relations:
- West Germany pursued a policy of reconciliation and integration with Western allies like France and the US through its Westpolitik policy. It joined NATO and other Western organizations. South Korea maintained a more adversarial stance towards North Korea and did not integrate as fully with its allies like the US.
- West Germany's goal was eventual reunification through making its side more prosperous and democratic as a "magnet" to draw East Germany. South Korea's goal was more focused on security against North Korea rather than reunification.
- West Germany had the protection and support of being part of the Western alliance system. South Korea had to rely more on its own defense capabilities

Unit Lesson
At the end of the 1960s, the threat of nuclear war receded with the onset of
détente, but that did not mean stability, as economic crisis heightened political
and social polarization. The renewal of the Cold War at the end of the 1970s
created further instability. The economic crisis of the 1970s challenged postwar
social democratic assumptions and discontented voters looked for radically new
answers, either in socialism, as in Spain, Portugal, and Greece, or in the New
Conservatism. New Conservatives did not emphasize social improvement but
instead promoted policies intended to create less governmental control and
more opportunity for individual achievement, which would privatize state-owned
businesses and dismantle the welfare state. They argued that the economic
crisis was due to the increase in spending on social services.
The détente policies of the early 1970s were reversed later that decade, and
Cold War tensions returned. Détente’s triumph came in 1975 when the United
States, Canada, and European nations signed the Helsinki Accords, recognizing
the existing borders and promising to safeguard human rights. On that wave of
U.S. influence, soon Soviet and Eastern European dissidents were publicizing
human rights abuses in their nations. The New Conservatives further increased
the Cold War tensions by reviving anti-communist rhetoric, accelerating the arms
build-up, and deciding to deploy nuclear weapons in Europeans countries; a
move that engendered widespread protest.

This document is an abstract for a dissertation examining the role of globalization in the rise of new right attitudes in Germany and Italy. It outlines that the dissertation will first define globalization and analyze economic and cultural globalization. It will then examine specific case studies of the new right in Italy and Germany by analyzing populist right-wing political parties and cultural movements in each country. The dissertation aims to explain how globalization has contributed to strengthening nationalist sentiments and the rise of new right parties and ideologies.

The document discusses the causes and effects of World War II and the Cold War. It states that World War II involved over 30 countries and 100 million people from 1939-1945. The main causes included the Treaty of Versailles and the rise of authoritarian regimes in Germany, Italy and Japan in the 1930s. Major effects were the loss of life, destruction of infrastructure, economic disruption, and displacement of populations. It also discusses the ideological differences between communism and capitalism that contributed to tensions between the US and Soviet Union during the Cold War.
The Occupy Movement: A Marxist Uprising?
‘With the collapse of Communism, Marx’s contribution to the analysis of culture lost its contemporary significance.’ Discuss.' An analysis of the global Occupy protests in 2011/12 in light of Marxist philosophy.
The Postwar Era in Europe
Tony Judt argues that the period between 1945-1989 in Europe can be characterized as the "postwar era" as the challenges Europe faced were shaped by the aftermath of WWII. Examples that support this include Margaret Thatcher dismantling Britain's welfare state in response to issues that emerged and the Historikerstreit debate in Germany over interpreting the Holocaust. However, the feminist movement of the 1970s contradicted being directly caused by postwar issues. After 1989, the fall of the Berlin Wall signaled a new era for Europe with different challenges like integrating Muslims into society.

This document discusses the concept of "European civilization" and how it shaped international order and international law in the 19th century. Key points:
1) After Napoleon's defeat, the idea emerged that there was a distinct "European civilization" that formed the basis for international society and order. International law was developed to govern relations between "civilized" European states.
2) Non-European states existed outside this civilization. They could gain recognition and rights through a process of being brought within the "realm of law" as their civilization increased.
3) The Ottoman Empire was seen as only partially civilized. European powers did not treat it the same as other civilized states when occupying its territory.

The collapse of Communism began with deepening of respect of human .docx
The collapse of Communism began with “deepening of respect of human rights” and the “creation of democratic institutions” (Thomas, 2005, p. 110). Liberalism began to shift people’s views from Communism. Poland, Hungary, East Germany, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, and Romania all started to turn away from those political governments ruled by Communists. There were civilian protests, which got violent in Romania. One of the reasons that Communism was so popular to begin with, especially in the Soviet Union, was the thought that it would help the economy. After Stalin died in 1953, there was a scramble by several Communists to become ruler. Gorbachev tried to use Nationalism to be the driving force for those who were thinking of becoming reformed. Strikes occurred over the mishandling of the government. The Soviets were able to cease anti-Communist outbreaks for a little while in Hungary and Poland. Later, the mass demonstrations all over Europe caused the demise of Communism. When Poland used inflation to overthrow the Communist government, other countries took notice and wanted the same. The generational differences definitely helped the decline of Communism because younger people seemed to be more liberal and more courageous in speaking out against what they felt was wrong. One of the best remarks I have discovered in regards to the collapse of Communism is this from White (2000): “In one of the most extravagant formulations, it was claimed that Eastern Europe had seen not just the end of communist rule, but the ‘end of history’ itself, as democracy became (in another celebrated phrase) the ‘only game in town’” (p. 72). He goes on to write that the fall of Communism was a historical revisit to the times of the past such as Roman law and feudalism. Communist leaders were like dictators who were not concerned with law because in their eyes, they were the law.

Communism And Communism
Communism had a significant political impact in the 20th century. It originated from ideas of equality in the 18th century revolutions in France and Britain. Karl Marx further developed communist theory, believing that inequality would only end through workers revolution and public ownership. Many early communist regimes like in Russia and China aimed to establish classless societies but instead created authoritarian governments with total state control. While early communist countries saw economic issues, communism appealed to ideas of equality and sharing for many. Overall, communism had widespread influence politically but also faced challenges in practice.

The Regional Development of Democratization and Civil Society: Transition, Co...Przegląd Politologiczny
Different starting points, similar processes and different outcomes can be identified when comparing East Central Europe and East and South Asia. The two regions face similar global challenges, follow regional patterns of democratization and face crises. In communist times, East Central Europe was
economically marginalized in the world economy, while some parts of Asia integrated well in the global
economy under authoritarian rule. Europeanization and a favorable external environment encouraged the
former communist countries to opt for the Western-style rule of law and democracy. Different external
factors helped the Third Wave democracies in Asia, especially South Korea and Taiwan, which benefited
from the support of the United States and other global economic, military and cultural partnerships to
develop their human rights culture and democracy while facing their totalitarian counterparts, namely the
People’s Republic of China and North Korea. The very different positions Taiwan and Hungary have in
their respective regions follow from the different capacities of their transformation management since
1988–1989. Taiwan preserved its leading role and stable democracy despite the threat to its sovereignty
from the People’s Republic of China. Hungary never had such an influential and problematic neighbor
and was ensured security and welfare partnership by the European Union, which Taiwan lacked. While
Taiwan was less secure, economic and social conditions were more favorable for democratization than
those in Hungary. Hungary, in turn, held a leading position in democratization processes in the period of
post-communist transition which was lost during the crisis and conflicts of the last decade (after 2006 and
especially since 2010). Despite the fact that liberalization prepared the way for peaceful transition in both
countries and resulted in similar processes of democratic consolidation in the 1990s, Hungary joined the
‘loser’ group in its region, whereas Taiwan is among the top ‘winning’ countries in its region. Taiwan at the
moment is starting comprehensive reform processes toward enhanced democracy, civil rights and the rule
of law, and Hungarian development is criticized by many external and internal analysts as straying from the
path of European-style consolidated democracies towards illiberal trends and hybridization. Western global
concepts of democratization may help to identify similarities and differences, and compare stronger and
weaker factors in the democratic transitions in Asia and Europe within the Third Wave democracies.Assignment 2 Constitutional RightsDue Week 10 and worth 200 point.docx

Assignment 2 Case of Anna OOne of the very first cases that caug.docx
Assignment 2: Case of Anna O
One of the very first cases that caught Freud’s attention when he was starting to develop his psychoanalytic theory was that of Anna O, a patient of fellow psychiatrist Josef Breuer. Although Freud did not directly treat her, he did thoroughly analyze her case as he was fascinated by the fact that her hysteria was “cured” by Breuer. It is her case that he believes was the beginning of the psychoanalytic approach.
Through your analysis of this case, you will not only look deeper into Freud’s psychoanalytic theory but also see how Jung’s neo-psychoanalytic theory compares and contrasts with Freud’s theory.
Review the following:
The Case of Anna O.
One of the first cases that inspired Freud in the development of what would eventually become the Psychoanalytic Theory was the case of Anna O. Anna O. was actually a patient of one of Freud’s colleagues Josef Breuer. Using Breuer’s case notes, Freud was able to analyze the key facts of Anna O’s case.
Anna O. first developed her symptoms while she was taking care of her very ill father with whom she was extremely close. Some of her initial symptoms were loss of appetite to the extent of not eating, weakness, anemia, and development a severe nervous cough. Eventually she developed a severe optic headache and lost the ability to move her head, which then progressed into paralysis of both arms. Her symptoms were not solely physical as she would vacillate between a normal, mental state and a manic-type state in which she would become extremely agitated. There was even a notation of a time for which she hallucinated that the ribbons in her hair were snakes.
Toward the end of her father’s life she stopped speaking her native language of German and instead only spoke in English. A little over a year after she began taking care of her father he passed away. After his passing her symptoms grew to affect her vision, a loss of ability to focus her attention, more extreme hallucinations, and a number of suicidal attempts (Hurst, 1982).
Both Freud and Jung would acknowledge that unconscious processes are at work in this woman's problems. However, they would come to different conclusions about the origin of these problems and the method by which she should be treated.
Research Freud’s and Jung’s theories of personality the Internet. Based on your research, respond to the following:
Compare and contrast Freud's view of the unconscious with Jung's view and apply this case example in your explanations.
On what specific points would they agree and disagree regarding the purpose and manifestation of the unconscious in the case of Anna?
How might they each approach the treatment of Anna? What might be those specific interventions? How might Anna experience these interventions considering her history?

Assignment 2 Comparing Modernist ApproachesDuring the moderni.docx
Assignment 2: Comparing Modernist Approaches
During the modernist period, you noticed a countercultural movement of romanticism and early existentialism. Explore the two major strands of early modernism – sensationalism and rationalism – along with the countercultural movement – romanticism and early existentialism. While British sensationalism also emerged during this period, it is more of a blending of sensationalism and rationalism. You’ll focus on the two more pure thought systems.
You’ve noticed that the three groups – the sensationalists, the rationalists, and the romantics, have very different epistemologies. The sensationalists trusted the senses or sense experience to determine truth. While many of them also used reason to some degree, they placed a greater trust in the senses. The rationalists, while giving some credence to the senses, primarily trusted reason as the best guide to knowing truth. The romantics took a more phenomenological approach and placed greater emphasis on emotions in the process of determining how to live; they weren’t as concerned with the issue of truth.
How do these epistemologies impact ethics and morals? Particularly with the romantics, you begin to notice there is a potential to separate ethics, or what is right, from values, or the individual’s ideals. What do you think is the significance of this separation?
These three positions still do not dictate a view of human nature as fundamentally good or evil. There are variant positions within the perspectives. Discuss any implications you think exist for human nature in these perspectives.
Finally, address the implications for therapy. Compare how you think these different philosophies would impact the way psychotherapy effectiveness should be determined.
Be sure to support your conclusions with information drawn from the online content, the textbook, and other credible, scholarly sources to substantiate the points you are making.

Assignment 2 (RA 2) Cultural Influences in DevelopmentIn this as.docx
Assignment 2: (RA 2): Cultural Influences in Development
In this assignment, you will apply your knowledge of cultural influences on development to create psychosocial workshops for a specific population.
Tasks:
Scenario
:
As a human services administrator at a local agency, one of your duties is to write descriptions of the agency's community workshops to publish in the community's resource guide delivered free of charge to all residents. These are the titles of the workshops:
Single Moms
: A workshop for working mothers to help them balance work and home
Community Living
: A workshop for those transitioning from incarceration to society
Caregiver Parents
: A workshop for those taking care of aging parents, while also raising a young family
Parenting Teens
: A workshop to enable parents to help their teenage children transition to young adulthood
Your community largely comprises blue-collar workers, many of whom are working on either visas or green cards; thus, there are pockets of immigrant communities. Some of the workers are those who were reintegrated into society after prolonged incarceration (more than three years). The median age of the area is thirty-five years, and multigenerational households are commonplace. The public school system is underresourced, and truancy is a big problem. Many students do not complete high school, and standardized test scores are well below what is federally mandated for funding.
Directions
:
For each of the four workshops, write a 100- to 200-word description on the basis of the following:
Utilize what you have learned throughout the course to describe specific services that each workshop will include.
Tailor each description to the community and the target audience for the workshop.
Apply cultural and multicultural sensitivity within and across all descriptions. Remember, a single mother may also read the description for community living. Craft your descriptions to be readable and sensitive to all.
Account for individual differences and environmental contexts that will influence developmental changes.
Account for the role of culture in shaping attitudes, values, and behaviors.
For each description, write a two-page rationale. Use at least three references from scholarly sources to demonstrate how you determined which services to offer for each workshop.

The collapse of Communism began with deepening of respect of human .docx
The collapse of Communism began with “deepening of respect of human rights” and the “creation of democratic institutions” (Thomas, 2005, p. 110). Liberalism began to shift people’s views from Communism. Poland, Hungary, East Germany, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, and Romania all started to turn away from those political governments ruled by Communists. There were civilian protests, which got violent in Romania. One of the reasons that Communism was so popular to begin with, especially in the Soviet Union, was the thought that it would help the economy. After Stalin died in 1953, there was a scramble by several Communists to become ruler. Gorbachev tried to use Nationalism to be the driving force for those who were thinking of becoming reformed. Strikes occurred over the mishandling of the government. The Soviets were able to cease anti-Communist outbreaks for a little while in Hungary and Poland. Later, the mass demonstrations all over Europe caused the demise of Communism. When Poland used inflation to overthrow the Communist government, other countries took notice and wanted the same. The generational differences definitely helped the decline of Communism because younger people seemed to be more liberal and more courageous in speaking out against what they felt was wrong. One of the best remarks I have discovered in regards to the collapse of Communism is this from White (2000): “In one of the most extravagant formulations, it was claimed that Eastern Europe had seen not just the end of communist rule, but the ‘end of history’ itself, as democracy became (in another celebrated phrase) the ‘only game in town’” (p. 72). He goes on to write that the fall of Communism was a historical revisit to the times of the past such as Roman law and feudalism. Communist leaders were like dictators who were not concerned with law because in their eyes, they were the law.

Communism And Communism
Communism had a significant political impact in the 20th century. It originated from ideas of equality in the 18th century revolutions in France and Britain. Karl Marx further developed communist theory, believing that inequality would only end through workers revolution and public ownership. Many early communist regimes like in Russia and China aimed to establish classless societies but instead created authoritarian governments with total state control. While early communist countries saw economic issues, communism appealed to ideas of equality and sharing for many. Overall, communism had widespread influence politically but also faced challenges in practice.

The Regional Development of Democratization and Civil Society: Transition, Co...Przegląd Politologiczny
Different starting points, similar processes and different outcomes can be identified when comparing East Central Europe and East and South Asia. The two regions face similar global challenges, follow regional patterns of democratization and face crises. In communist times, East Central Europe was
economically marginalized in the world economy, while some parts of Asia integrated well in the global
economy under authoritarian rule. Europeanization and a favorable external environment encouraged the
former communist countries to opt for the Western-style rule of law and democracy. Different external
factors helped the Third Wave democracies in Asia, especially South Korea and Taiwan, which benefited
from the support of the United States and other global economic, military and cultural partnerships to
develop their human rights culture and democracy while facing their totalitarian counterparts, namely the
People’s Republic of China and North Korea. The very different positions Taiwan and Hungary have in
their respective regions follow from the different capacities of their transformation management since
1988–1989. Taiwan preserved its leading role and stable democracy despite the threat to its sovereignty
from the People’s Republic of China. Hungary never had such an influential and problematic neighbor
and was ensured security and welfare partnership by the European Union, which Taiwan lacked. While
Taiwan was less secure, economic and social conditions were more favorable for democratization than
those in Hungary. Hungary, in turn, held a leading position in democratization processes in the period of
post-communist transition which was lost during the crisis and conflicts of the last decade (after 2006 and
especially since 2010). Despite the fact that liberalization prepared the way for peaceful transition in both
countries and resulted in similar processes of democratic consolidation in the 1990s, Hungary joined the
‘loser’ group in its region, whereas Taiwan is among the top ‘winning’ countries in its region. Taiwan at the
moment is starting comprehensive reform processes toward enhanced democracy, civil rights and the rule
of law, and Hungarian development is criticized by many external and internal analysts as straying from the
path of European-style consolidated democracies towards illiberal trends and hybridization. Western global
concepts of democratization may help to identify similarities and differences, and compare stronger and
weaker factors in the democratic transitions in Asia and Europe within the Third Wave democracies.Similar to In what ways was Europe united in the last decade of the 20thcen (11)

Assignment 2 Case of Anna OOne of the very first cases that caug.docx
Assignment 2: Case of Anna O
One of the very first cases that caught Freud’s attention when he was starting to develop his psychoanalytic theory was that of Anna O, a patient of fellow psychiatrist Josef Breuer. Although Freud did not directly treat her, he did thoroughly analyze her case as he was fascinated by the fact that her hysteria was “cured” by Breuer. It is her case that he believes was the beginning of the psychoanalytic approach.
Through your analysis of this case, you will not only look deeper into Freud’s psychoanalytic theory but also see how Jung’s neo-psychoanalytic theory compares and contrasts with Freud’s theory.
Review the following:
The Case of Anna O.
One of the first cases that inspired Freud in the development of what would eventually become the Psychoanalytic Theory was the case of Anna O. Anna O. was actually a patient of one of Freud’s colleagues Josef Breuer. Using Breuer’s case notes, Freud was able to analyze the key facts of Anna O’s case.
Anna O. first developed her symptoms while she was taking care of her very ill father with whom she was extremely close. Some of her initial symptoms were loss of appetite to the extent of not eating, weakness, anemia, and development a severe nervous cough. Eventually she developed a severe optic headache and lost the ability to move her head, which then progressed into paralysis of both arms. Her symptoms were not solely physical as she would vacillate between a normal, mental state and a manic-type state in which she would become extremely agitated. There was even a notation of a time for which she hallucinated that the ribbons in her hair were snakes.
Toward the end of her father’s life she stopped speaking her native language of German and instead only spoke in English. A little over a year after she began taking care of her father he passed away. After his passing her symptoms grew to affect her vision, a loss of ability to focus her attention, more extreme hallucinations, and a number of suicidal attempts (Hurst, 1982).
Both Freud and Jung would acknowledge that unconscious processes are at work in this woman's problems. However, they would come to different conclusions about the origin of these problems and the method by which she should be treated.
Research Freud’s and Jung’s theories of personality the Internet. Based on your research, respond to the following:
Compare and contrast Freud's view of the unconscious with Jung's view and apply this case example in your explanations.
On what specific points would they agree and disagree regarding the purpose and manifestation of the unconscious in the case of Anna?
How might they each approach the treatment of Anna? What might be those specific interventions? How might Anna experience these interventions considering her history?

Assignment 2 Comparing Modernist ApproachesDuring the moderni.docx
Assignment 2: Comparing Modernist Approaches
During the modernist period, you noticed a countercultural movement of romanticism and early existentialism. Explore the two major strands of early modernism – sensationalism and rationalism – along with the countercultural movement – romanticism and early existentialism. While British sensationalism also emerged during this period, it is more of a blending of sensationalism and rationalism. You’ll focus on the two more pure thought systems.
You’ve noticed that the three groups – the sensationalists, the rationalists, and the romantics, have very different epistemologies. The sensationalists trusted the senses or sense experience to determine truth. While many of them also used reason to some degree, they placed a greater trust in the senses. The rationalists, while giving some credence to the senses, primarily trusted reason as the best guide to knowing truth. The romantics took a more phenomenological approach and placed greater emphasis on emotions in the process of determining how to live; they weren’t as concerned with the issue of truth.
How do these epistemologies impact ethics and morals? Particularly with the romantics, you begin to notice there is a potential to separate ethics, or what is right, from values, or the individual’s ideals. What do you think is the significance of this separation?
These three positions still do not dictate a view of human nature as fundamentally good or evil. There are variant positions within the perspectives. Discuss any implications you think exist for human nature in these perspectives.
Finally, address the implications for therapy. Compare how you think these different philosophies would impact the way psychotherapy effectiveness should be determined.
Be sure to support your conclusions with information drawn from the online content, the textbook, and other credible, scholarly sources to substantiate the points you are making.

Assignment 2 (RA 2) Cultural Influences in DevelopmentIn this as.docx
Assignment 2: (RA 2): Cultural Influences in Development
In this assignment, you will apply your knowledge of cultural influences on development to create psychosocial workshops for a specific population.
Tasks:
Scenario
:
As a human services administrator at a local agency, one of your duties is to write descriptions of the agency's community workshops to publish in the community's resource guide delivered free of charge to all residents. These are the titles of the workshops:
Single Moms
: A workshop for working mothers to help them balance work and home
Community Living
: A workshop for those transitioning from incarceration to society
Caregiver Parents
: A workshop for those taking care of aging parents, while also raising a young family
Parenting Teens
: A workshop to enable parents to help their teenage children transition to young adulthood
Your community largely comprises blue-collar workers, many of whom are working on either visas or green cards; thus, there are pockets of immigrant communities. Some of the workers are those who were reintegrated into society after prolonged incarceration (more than three years). The median age of the area is thirty-five years, and multigenerational households are commonplace. The public school system is underresourced, and truancy is a big problem. Many students do not complete high school, and standardized test scores are well below what is federally mandated for funding.
Directions
:
For each of the four workshops, write a 100- to 200-word description on the basis of the following:
Utilize what you have learned throughout the course to describe specific services that each workshop will include.
Tailor each description to the community and the target audience for the workshop.
Apply cultural and multicultural sensitivity within and across all descriptions. Remember, a single mother may also read the description for community living. Craft your descriptions to be readable and sensitive to all.
Account for individual differences and environmental contexts that will influence developmental changes.
Account for the role of culture in shaping attitudes, values, and behaviors.
For each description, write a two-page rationale. Use at least three references from scholarly sources to demonstrate how you determined which services to offer for each workshop.

Assignment 1:
Journal Entry:
Intersection and Religious Discrimination
When pieces of cloth are sewn together, you might have trouble discerning the individual pieces of cloth that make the final garment, but by looking carefully, you can find the seams. You may have experienced similar difficulty in the first week of this course when asked to explore the individual aspects of culture that combine to create your unique self-identity. Forms of oppression can come together often in almost imperceptible ways to form the complex environment in which you and your clients live and interact. As a social worker, you must examine carefully the intersections between religious discrimination, sexism, classism, and racism so you can respond accordingly.
To prepare:
Consider this week's resources that describe how religion intersects with other forms of oppression.
Submit your response to those resources and analyze what you think is the role of religion in reinforcing sexism, classism, and racism.
As a social worker, how can you address these issues on a micro and macro level?
Assignment 2: Race, Empowerment, and Cultural Competence
The ideas, attitudes, values, and beliefs with which people are surrounded as they grow up inform their perceptions about themselves and their place in the world. Family and religious systems are usually the first place that people get messages about themselves and others. Those messages can be positive and illustrate how important it is to embrace difference, or they can be full of hate and intolerance. For this Assignment, consider how your own ideas about race and ethnicity have been influenced by those around you.
Submit a 2-page paper that answers the following question:
How does your family and religious systems lead to your ideas about your own racial ethnic group as well as the racial and ethnic group of others?
Be sure to address the concepts of ethnocentric practice, empowerment and cultural competence. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer.

Media play a very large role in both the development and the perpetuation of cultural elements. You may never have watched a foreign movie or even clips evaluating other cultures. In this assignment, you will explore online videos or movies from a culture of your choice and analyze how cultural elements are presented, compared to your own culture.
Complete the following:
Choose a world culture you are not familiar with.
Identify two–three online videos or movies representative of this culture. These could be examples of cultural expressions such as a Bollywood movie from India or Anime videos from Japan.
Evaluate two hours of such a video. Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research articles about your selected culture.
Select a scholarly article that analyzes the same culture presented in the videos you have observed.
Write a paper describing the cultural differences you have observed in the video. How are these observations supported by the research article?
Be sure to include the following:
Describe the videos you have watched.
Explain the main points of the videos.
Examine what stood out about the culture.
Compare and contrast the similarities and differences of this culture with your own.
Examine the ways of this culture. Is it one you would want to visit or live in?
Would you experience culture shock if you immersed yourself in this culture? Why or why not?

Assignment 1The purpose of this assignment is to explore stratifi.docx
Assignment 1:
The purpose of this assignment is to explore stratification and prejudice in current events. Despite great advances towards equality between the races and genders, racial and gender discrimination, as well as class stratification remain serious social problems. To conclude this course, you will use the news media to discover current social issues with regards to race and gender.
To complete this assignment, perform the following tasks:
Using newspapers, news websites, or news magazines, select three current events (within the last six months) that reflect our studies on stratification. One event should represent racial issues, one gender issues, and one class issues. All three should demonstrate discrimination and/or stratification in American society.
Using your research, describe the current events and how they are reflective of your studies on racial, gender, and class discrimination and/or stratification.
Analyze the events and apply the lecture and text to the news articles. What theories of stratification apply? Are the current events representative of the historical trends of racial, gender, and class discrimination and or/stratification? What solutions, if any, should be applied to these current events?
In your discussion, apply your personal experiences and observations to the current events.
How do you feel that the media perpetuates discrimination and/or stratification based on race, gender, and class? Support your ideas with concepts from the text and/or appropriate outside resources.
Provide a minimum of three references and apply the correct APA standards in the format of text, citations, and references. Your paper should include a title page and reference. Your paper should be at least five pages in length, not including the title and reference pages.

unbiased
opinion of the production, supported by facts.
This last written assignment requires you to attend one UT Department of
Theatre

artists’ performances (actors and their roles, director, designers), including their honesty/believability
successful moments in the play vs. unclear ones
conclusion or overall impression of the production
This
theatre
review should be based on the live theatrical performance seen here at UT, not a film version or other school's production. In general, your assignment should be typed and proofread, at least 3-4 pages in length. Think creativity, originality (such as images, links, etc.) and presentational choices (such as Word,

In what ways was Europe united in the last decade of the 20thcen
- 1. In what ways was Europe united in the last decade of the 20th century? Europe became unified through both economic and cultural means in the final decade of the 20thCentury. One of the most important efforts for unification was the European Union (EU), “replacing the European Economic Community as the primary political and economic institution for cooperating European countries” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012). The efforts to unify Europe were further advanced in the last decade of the century by the extensive use of communications and information technologies in a technological revolution that saw a transformation that also brought people around the world into closer and quicker contact than ever before” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012). What were the political implications of European unity? Many of the countries in Eastern Europe began to adopt new democratic systems of government with elected leadership and new reforms to adjust to free market systems. Likewise, a multitude of new political parties formed, coinciding with an influx of private book publishers, which became greater opportunities to spread new ideas. The political parties that remained communist chose to do so while changing their platforms to include more democratic ideas and distance themselves from the atrocities of Soviet communism, while still advocating for more government control of economic matters. However, a few exceptions still remained, such as Belarus, “which in 2011 remained a command economy under the 17- year dictatorship of Alexander Lukashenko” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012). What were the social implications of European unity?
- 2. As a result of the new efforts to unify, Europe saw a massive influx of immigration which worked to create a much more diverse population than ever before. Additionally, those who were used to the economics of communist governments had to make “adjustments in their cultural lives that were almost as difficult as those in their economic and political lives” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012). There were also issues regarding religion in the new Europe with many such as Pope John Paul II arguing that the EU needed to invoke an acknowledgment of Europe’s Christian roots in the proposed draft of an EU constitution. “The debate died out when the constitution failed to be approved in France and the Netherlands, although the idea that Europe is a ‘Christian’—or Judeo-Christian—place continues to be held by many and informs some of the anti-immigrant political movements that have gained prominence in the 21st century, discussed in further detail later in this chapter” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012). What were the economic implications of European unity? “The collapse of Communism and the end of the protected trading bloc COMECON left the economies of the former Soviet Union and its former satellites exposed to entirely new conditions” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012). One of the approaches to solving the issues that arose after introducing a subsidized socialist society into a free market capitalist system was the ‘shock’ or ‘big bang’ approach which “included such measures as ending price controls, abolishing subsidies for companies, and privatizing state-owned businesses” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012). The unemployment numbers took a hit as well during the 1990’s in Eastern Europe in many places that had guaranteed lifelong positions for many before the collapse. In what ways was Europe divided in the last decade of the 20th
- 3. century? Along with concerns over the inclusion of Judeo-Christian values, “immigration, and especially the presence of growing numbers of Muslims, provoked many expressions of concern that ‘European values’ were being threatened” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012). These concerns only worked to create greater lines of division among the new European countries and the efforts of the European Union as well as concerns over the new possible threat of globalization. Globalization is “the increasing integration of the global economy, as measured by international trade, investment, and manufacturing, made possible by the political predominance of policies favorable to the free operation of market forces” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012). In essence, globalization was the unforeseen aftershock that followed the collapse of communism and the unification of Europe, which in itself presented the world with a whole new line of contention and controversial ideologies. How did the Cold War contribute to these divisions? The Cold War progressed many of the same ideas of the loss of traditional values, playing into the idea that Soviet Communist ideals would tear down the fabric of capitalist nations such as the United States and the democratic societies it aided in contributing to the free world market. Likewise, many of the communist states were wary of swapping over to capitalist ideas and systems after being subjected to so many years of relentless anti-capitalist propaganda from the Soviets and their predecessors for over a hundred years. What role did nationalism and genocide play in Europe during the last decade of the 20thcentury? Genocide played a role in the last decade of the 20th century through wars, as nations sought to establish new regimes after
- 4. the collapse of communism and the disestablishment of the Soviet Union. Many satellite nations were able to peacefully move out of communist-ruled regimes, however, there were much more violent conflicts such when the six federal republics of Yugoslavia broke apart. The “six distinct federal republics (Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia, Macedonia, and Montenegro) with five different ethnicities, four languages, three religions, and two alphabets” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012), were engrained with rising feelings of nationalism and violent conflicts broke out between the differing ethnicities. Croatia declared its independence in 1991 and the primarily Muslim Bosnia did the same in 1993. “The war that followed involved fighting among all three ethnic groups, and it was repeatedly marked by what became known as ethnic cleansing as Serbs and Croats both expelled hundreds of thousands of thei r enemies from Bosnian regions after winning control of them. Similar ethnic cleansing had marked the Serbian-Croatian war as well, and it was accompanied in both regions by numerous instances of murder, rape, and torture”, and “all sides in the war were guilty of atrocities, and both Croats and Serbs established notorious concentration camps. But the Serbs were generally viewed as especially guilty in this regard” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012). Furthermore, ethnic wars such as those seen during the collapse of Yugoslavia exemplified and book-ended the new scourge of the 20th century: terrorism. “When Princip assassinated the Archduke, he was acting on behalf of the goals and objectives of a group known as the Black Hand. The Black Hand was, really, a terrorist group driven by intense nationalist sentiments but not acting on behalf of or for a specific government. Therefore, the Western world was faced with the dilemma of what to do when you are the victim of terrorism. How do you declare war on a nation or government when the terrorist group was acting independently? If you do not declare war on the government, then how do you effectively fight shadows?” (Troxler, 2018). This understanding of the nature of terrorist acts of violence, as seen during the ethnic cleansings in
- 5. the former Yugoslavia, make it difficult for nations to know when and how it is appropriate to intervene in such conflicts.w Did the collapse of communism have a positive or negative impact on Europe in the last decade of the 20th century? Why? For the most part, the collapse of communism created a positive and progressive path forward for Europe leading into the 21st century. “With the collapse of communism across central and eastern Europe, Europeans become closer neighbors. In 1993 the Single Market is completed with the 'four freedoms' of: movement of goods, services, people and money” (European Union, 2018). “The collapse of Communism ended the division of Europe and allowed unification to reach into new areas of the continent” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012). Likewise, with the collapse of Communism, “everything changed… Mentalities had to change. Publishers had to become responsive to the market. Authors used to having their works printed and reprinted, found themselves unemployed. Foreign films and books flooded the cultural market. Intellectuals, including those who had been critical of communism, were aghast. They had moved from the dictatorship of the party to the true ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’: consumer capitalism” (Shubert & Goldstein, 2012), after the initial shock, however, these new forms of free expression played a heavy role in bringing many cultures together through the new freedoms of cultural expression and economics.
