Introduction
Aggression among the children and the adult is the primary cause of wrong and unethical activity. Children are getting violent and the peers are victimized by the aggressive behaviour among the peer group. Most of the ill will causes are somehow linked with or related with the level of aggression and therefore it becomes important that the factors impacting the aggression in adult and children are studied and examined, so as to address the related issues. Aggressiveness can be classified in short term or long term run. Short behaviour can also be referred as mimicry and the long term aggressiveness is linked with the problem of the brain and can be dangerous for both short and long term (Nauert, 2008).

1. Do the media influence adolescent girl’s body images?
2. Null Hypothesis: the media does not have an influence on adolescent girl’s body image. Alternate Hypothesis: the media does influence adolescent girl’s body image.
3. The correct sample size that will be used in the research is 385 adolescent girls. Determining the right sample size involves the calculation of the margin of error. The estimated margin of error at 95 percent confidence level that is a 5 percent chance that the results will be different is derived by 1/√N. N is the sample size. This means that a sample size of 10 will have a margin of error of 31.6 percent, but a sample size of 100 will have a 10 percent margin of error. This implies that the greater the N, the smaller the margin of error; therefore, the results of the research will useful (White & McBurney, 2013). A sample size of 385 participants is sufficiently large and is representative of the population, and limits extreme observations and the impacts of outliers. The inclusion characteristics include: they must be female, must be aged between 13 and 19 years and must be exposed to different forms of media. The exclusion characteristics are: history of any mental or personality disorder and history of drug use. The sample should be diverse. This is to make the sample representative of all adolescent girls.
4. The sampling technique that will be used in the study is random sampling. Random sampling is choosing a sample from the statistical population so that every sample that could be chosen has a predetermined chance of being chosen. This is the most appropriate sampling technique since it is the least unbiased of all sampling methods (Monsen et al, 2008). Additionally, there is no subjectivity is the technique because each member of the statistical population has an equal chance of being chosen. The sample will generalize to the entire adolescent girls’ population. This is the key advantage of random sampling because it is representative of the population. The only factor that can make the sample unrepresentative of the population is sampling error.
5. There are two variables in my study: the dependent and the independent variable. The dependent variable is the body image of adolescent girls, while the independent variable is the media. The body image of adolescent girls’ is the dependent variable because it is changed by factors such as the media. This is the variable being measured in the study. The independent variable is not affected by other factors or variables. The research is attempting to establish the relationship between media and adolescent girls’ body image. That .

Abstract
Is it possible to prevent suicidal influences by taking preemptive measures? According to last week’s research learning team A was able to identify mental illness, socioeconomic pressures, marital status, family history of suicide, and media influences as major contributions to our nation’s suicide rates. If preemptive measures are taken to minimize or address these influences then national suicide rates will decrease. Our groups hypotheses is as follows: If preemptive measures are implemented to minimize or address the following suicidal influences; mental illness, socioeconomic pressures, discontentment with marital status and family history of suicide then the national suicide rate will decrease. This paper will explain in detail the method by which we plan to conduct a study to prove our hypothesis.
Sampling Method
In psychology, the purpose for sampling is to collect data from a target population. A target population is a portion of the total population that is in possession of something of interest. For the research project of this group, the target population consists of individuals of all age’s races and classes who are associated with suicide: those who are undergoing the mentality of suicide, those who have a history of exhibiting suicidal behaviors and those who have attempted suicide. With this research’s sampling method, it is important to stray away from sampling bias. The sampling method that would be ideal versus convenient would be the following: volunteer sampling versus opportunity sampling. Sampling bias happens when the data does not reflect the target population (McLeod, 2014). An example of this would be of psychology studies where universities used an opportunity sampling method that only comprises of their students. Opportunity sampling would be selecting individuals who are available at that particular moment in time (McLeod, 2014). This method, though convenient and quick, will not correctly represent the target population.
The ideal sampling method that this research project would use is volunteer sampling. According to McLeod (2014), this method occurs when individuals choose themselves to be involved with a study. This sampling method would advertise for individuals of any and all demographics, later categorizing the demographics by age and by race for reaching more specified data. This advertisement would consist of a survey that is available nationwide all hours of the day— convenient to the target population, having different work hours or hours of operation. The reason why this method would be ideal is that this method, though convenient, is also ethical for it having informed consent.

1. What is your research question?
Does Reality TV influence perceive body image in the adolescent child?
2. What is your hypothesis or hypotheses? What is the null hypothesis?
H0: Reality TV does not influence perceived body image in the adolescent child
H1: Reality TV does influence perceived body image in the adolescent child
3. Participants
To qualify as a participant in the study the age should range from eight years to sixteen years. Culturally, the study will use African American, Caucasian, and other racial backgrounds. I intend to use adolescents from the same socio-economic levels to attain reliability and validity with the current data analysis and collection for the study. I will use an audit trail and reflective journal to achieve a high degree of dependability.
4. Sampling technique
I will use a purposeful sample with the adequate number of adolescents to facilitate efficient and effective saturation of categories. Any negative case enhances validity since it demonstrates that the aspects of the analysis are less than obvious. Top improve transferability in the study I will use moderate populated schools in the samples that attract adolescents from multiple cultures, histories, and comparable socio-economic levels across the city.
5. What are the variables in your study?
Demographic data, race, body dissatisfaction, body image, ethnic background, socioeconomic status, media pressure, awareness, self-confidence, and internalization
6. Provide operational definitions for each variable.
The race will mention the cultural background of each participant. The awareness of body image and self-image begins to form at a young age. It is not clear whether the desire or pressure to become thin affects all adolescents equally. At the age of six, girls desire a thin body and use some types of diet to obtain low weight and thin body. Girls spend a lot of time watching television or magazines to focus on the appearance and use thin models.
Ethnically blacks interpret media influences from white or Hispanics. A majority of white participants indicate a desire to look at thin models shown in advertisements.
The media pressure will present one’s effect of media portrayal. There seems to be a consensus that the mass media does tend to influence one's perception of body image. Exposure of commercials that use thin models leads to higher levels of dissatisfaction with overall body image.
7Measuirng of variables
I will use a Body Dissatisfaction Subscale of the Eating Disorder Inventory to measure specific bodies such as waist and thighs. Additionally, A Multidimensional Media Influence Scale (MMIS) will measure five dimensions of media influence that include awareness of media thin ideal, media pu.

Using the Mental Measurements Yearbook, identify three measures of the constructs you are studying for your research question
1. What is your research question?
My research question will be does an individual diagnosed with schizophrenia who develops an addiction have an increased risk of becoming a serial killer? In particularly, are there any ecological influences that transpire in drug stimulated (mind altering), schizophrenic serial killers? If as a result, what aspects are involved?
2. Write a testablehypothesis for your research question.
The testable hypothesis All serial killers that are also schizophrenic can change their social environment which would include mind altering drugs. This should align with the research question and should clearly state exactly what (and the direction) you believe will happen in your research. For example, Patients with schizophrenia who develop addictions are more likely to become serial killers.
3. What constructs is your research question investigating?
The constructs that are going to be used in my research question consist of negative surroundings such as environments with drug abuse
, and observing the mental and physical effects
of a person that may be subjected to these negative environments and how it correlates to their growth of becoming a serial killer.
4. Using the Mental Measurements Yearbook, provide the following information for three measures of the constructs:
a. What is the test? Include the name and authors.
The first test is by way of Mark Shriver and Claudia Wright and is the Personal Experience Inventory for Adults.
The next test is by Tony Cellucci and Glenn Gelman and will be Inventory of Drug- Taking Situations.
The third test will be one by Allen Hess and Janet Smith and the title is Interview intended for the Retrospective Assessment of the Onset and Course of Schizophrenia and Other Psychoses.
b. How is the test used? Include the target population, how the test is administered, and what information it provides.
· In the Personal Experience Inventory for Adults it is intended to gain material about an individual’s abuse predicaments. The test is given out to persons 19 years of age and up
.
· In Inventory of Drug-Taking Situations it is designed to measure people and summarize thorough situations in which one has consumed drugs within the year. The target population is drug users.
· In the Interview for the Retrospective Assessment of the Onset and Course of Schizophrenia and Other Psychoses it is designed to evaluate signs and communal growth in schizophrenic individuals. The target population is adults who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia

The author, a cognitive scientist and philosopher of medicine, use quantitative data of Facebook using to identify the relationship between social media and depression or dysphoria. She finds a term named “Facebook depression” as the affective results of spending too much time on the social networking site. The users of Facebook may be less depressed under three circumstances: the user has larger number of friends online, the user spends much more time to read updates from friends, the user does so regularly, the content of the updates tends to praise nature. For this source, it may be useful for psychologists or people who are in Medical Humanities field. By comparing with a study by Koutamanis, shows the negative feedbacks may affect adolescents’ development. This article will help me to clarify the situation that social media may cause depression, but also there are methods to adjust the attitude and adapt the bad effects.

The authors, Ph. D of psychology in University of Georgia, collect numbers on the website Facebook and use the evidence of statistics, tables and graphs to explore: how Narcissism prove in the sites, how narcissism obvious in the Web pages, does narcissism predict activity in a Web community, and can the narcissism of a page owner be gleaned from the Web page. They find the social networking is dominating on human lives, and it is the significant part on the interaction. The results show that narcissists act, portray themselves, and perceived on social networking sites in a similar way to how they behave in offline life. For this source, it may be useful for the psychologists or experts on narcissism and society. By comparing with an earlier study by Blease, the data are both according to Facebook, but this study show the different phenomenon of Narcissism. This article will help me argue that social media has vast influence on human lives and it may causes teenagers to be narcissistic.

Cabrera, J. F., & Kwon, R. (2018). Income Inequality, Household Income, and Mass Shooting in the United States. Frontiers in Public Health, 6, 294.
The authors hypothesized that there is a positive relationship between income inequality and mass shootings. Furthermore, these authors also hypothesize that mass shootings vary based on regional locations. The authors of these articles aimed at extending the previous research that finds stronger evidence regarding the positive relations between income inequality and mass shootings. Authors of the study employed previous research that finds a strong positive relationship between income inequality and mass shootings through examining the impact of the family's income and the association between inequality and income. In order to perform the analysis regarding the effects of the family’s income and the interaction between inequality and income, authors compiled data from 3,144 nations from 1990 to 2015. The outcome of this study indicates that even though the income inequality and income alone are the predictors of the mass shootings, the impacts of mass shootings are stronger when combining via interaction. The results also show the highest number of shootings are those that combine both high levels of inequality and high levels of income. To handle the epidemic issue of mass shootings, it is important to have a clear understanding of how to tackle the rise in inequality and unstable environments which leads to the existence of inequality.This study is important since it gives some of the reasons why there are high incidences of a mass shooting in some regions as compared to others. Therefore, it gives a direct solution to ensure that there is equal distribution of resources and equal employment opportunities to ensure that the issue of mass shootings is dealt with. This study also indicates that effective solutions to mass shootings need to involve the understanding of the main causes of mass shootings
Lowe, S. R., & Galea, S. (2017). The Mental Health Consequences of Mass Shootings. Trauma, Violence, & Abuse , 18 (1), 62-82.
The authors of this study hypothesized that mass shooting leads to adverse psychological outcomes among the survivors and the members of the community affected. Another hypothesis is that there is little knowledge regarding the adverse psychological impacts of mass shootings on the exposed individuals. A total of 49 peer-reviewed articles which consisted of 27 independent samples following 15 mass shooting cases were used. The author's employed peer-reviewed research methods to select samples. The key findings of the study are that mass shootings are associated with various adverse psychological impacts in the survivors as well as the members of the affected families. Risk factors for the negative psychological outcome include demographic and the pre-incident features related t.

Media's influence on body image
Janet Hernandez
Introduction
The media and body image advertisement are two close concepts specifically; the body image advertising displays affects our body image. Despite other elements like parenting, education, intimate relationship influencing body image, media has the greatest impact. According to Diedrichs, (2012) Americans spends 250billion hours watching TV annually. Also, advertising occupies 30 % of all television airtime. Normal child watches 20,000 televisions commercial annually. In the print media, some magazines are filled with ads. In addition, social media has the highest of users compared to any other media globally. Anything seen for many hours influence us. As a result, media and body images are closely interrelated due to the numerous image we see in the media.
Wykes, M., & Gunter, B. (2015). The Media and Body Image: If Looks Could Kill. doi:10.4135/9781446215395
This article fits in the research topic because it covers the influence of advertisement in girls’ looks. It pinpoints that girls who like magazines, TVs are more likely to change and look like the persons in the magazines.
The article further discusses that the available applications have made it easy for persons to edit photos. This includes clearing blemishes, whitening of teeth, even to shaving off few pounds. For some users especially ladies, there is real problem in their body image. Additionally, this article postulates that notable percentage of people are changing their body images to match the ones in the media (Wykes & Gunter, 2015).
Levine, M. (2012). Media Influences on Female Body Image. Encyclopedia of Body Image and Human Appearance, 540-546. doi:10.1016/b978-0-12-384925-0.00085-7
As the title alludes, the article perfectly fits in this topic. This is because it covers how the female body image has been significantly influenced by the media. Also, it addresses how the females’ models have altered their body image. It provides an example where normal American woman is 5feet and 4inches and 166 pounds .In disparity, most model women are 5 feet and 11 inches in the media. The major question is how this disparity emerges. According to an interview conducted the major factor that influences this changes is the social media. This different stature and size is seen in the social media (Levine, 2012) .
Tiggemann, M. (2014). The Status of Media Effects on Body Image Research: Commentary on Articles in the Themed Issue on Body Image and Media. Media Psychology, 17(2), 127-133. doi:10.1080/15213269.2014.891822
This article is relevant as it pinpoints the media effects on body image. Again, it covers the how media has influenced the persons in different ways. One of the most notable topic covered in the article is the how girls in Fiji are affected by media. One survey in Fiji has shown that one in every ten girls have reported to have ...

In American politics, people often compare their enemies to Hitler o.docxcharisellington63520
In American politics, people often compare their enemies to Hitler or to the Nazis. Many Democrats compared Trump to a "fascist," and Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez famously compared child detention facilities to "concentration camps." (Republicans claimed this was an unfair comparison and disrespectful to the real victims of the Holocaust.) On the other hand, Republicans often claim that their Democratic enemies are like Hitler, and often whine that "the Left" is persecuting them similar to how the Nazis persecuted the Jews ("cancel culture" is like the Holocaust, wearing a mask is like wearing a yellow star, etc.). Obviously these are exaggerated, bad comparisons, and are more about scoring political points than teaching history accurately.
But is it
always
wrong and disrespectful to draw comparisons or lessons from the Holocaust? Isn't it possible--while being respectful and acknowledging all the differences that make the Holocaust uniquely horrible--to try to draw lessons from it and prevent anything like it in the future? What comparisons or lessons for the present, if any, can we learn from the Holocaust?
Using specific evidence/examples/comparisons from the primary source you analyzed, please make a specific argument about a lesson or comparison
you might draw from the Holocaust. I'm not interested in your general/vague opinions about politics or Holocaust comparisons. I want you to carefully and respectfully (not politically) draw a lesson from something you learned in your document/film.

American opinion has indeed shaped politic consequences, political interests, and policymaking. Even with little or no interest in policymaking and politics, the assumption of democracy gives the citizens the power to freely air out their issues and give their opinion in matters of political concern. Taking the war in Iraq, it posed a significant economic and political imbalance. However, support from the politicians was negligible. And because a majority of the Americans opposed the war in Iran, they voted for a Democratic congressional candidate. Their opinion played a great deal in making concrete policies in response to the war in Iraq.
Public opinion is a reflection of the citizens’ view on how the government responds to national politics. Political actions are driven by the citizen’s opinion (Erikson, & Tedin, 2015). It sheds light on the outcomes of specific policies and helps the political candidates identify the characters demanded of them by the citizens. Political scholars argued that the perception of old public opinions was changed because of ambiguity and inaccuracy (Dür, 2019). Modern theories came to identify public opinion as either latent or a broad expression. Latent opinions are formed on the spot, while broad expressions are opinions that had earlier been formed and remained stable (Cantril, 2015).
When convincing policymakers, it proves difficult, interest groups may indirectly influence public opinion. They can achieve this through the media, holding rallies, or handing out leaflets to the public (Dür, 2019). Because the citizens have little or no information on policymaking, they can easily be swayed by interest groups. Interest groups can, therefore, successfully source their support from public opinion or not.
Public opinion remains relevant in American politics. Journalists, politicians, and political scientists should focus on getting the public’s opinion on state affairs. In as much as views might differ or change, establishing a common ground will help in policymaking (Dür, 2019). For the war in Iraq, the Democratic gained power over the senate and House. This was greatly influenced by the failure of public support that shifted the pro-Democratic in 2006 and the 2008 elections. Because opinions are not fixed, establishing a connection between public views and political outcomes might be impossible.

Scenario:
In addition to your role on the Child Study Team, you are also a member of the Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team (MDT). This team is preparing to meet because while the Tier Two Interventions have been helpful, Manuel is still struggling with his reading fluency and his writing, and is continuing to fall further behind. The MDT has received the signed and dated formal permission for referral from Manuel's parents and the school psychologist has conducted an academic achievement evaluation as described in your text. One of your roles as the special education inclusion teacher in your school is to translate the results of all the assessments in a way that is understandable to parents, the child, and to the regular education teacher. Another aspect of your role is to write the Initial Referral to the MDT such as the one described on p. 112 of the text. Finally, in your role as the special education inclusion teacher you are tasked with reviewing the results of all the assessments in order to to help the Manuel, his parents and his other teachers to understand the various strategies that are recommended based on his assessment outcomes.
You have reviewed the RTI data collected to date, including the informal observations of Mr, Franklin and Manuel's other teachers and samples of his classroom work, and have compared those data to
Part I of the Comprehensive Report
prepared by the school psychologist. That report is located in the Instructor Guidance for this week. The data paint a compelling and congruent picture of Manuel's current academic functioning.

In Act 4 during the trial scene, Bassanio says the following lines:
“Antonio, I am married to a wife
Which [who] is as dear to me as life itself;
But life itself, my wife, and all the world
Are not with me esteemed above your life.
I would lose all, ay sacrifice them all
Here to this devil [Shylock] to deliver [save] you.”
And Portia, who hears these lines (though Bassanio doesn’t know it), says,
“Your wife would give you little thanks for that
If she were [near]by to hear you make the offer.”
(Act 4, scene 1, 281-288
Is Antonio really more important to Bassanio than Portia? Explain why or why not. What do these lines tell us about the value of male friendship vs. marriage in this play? Would Portia be justified in rejecting Bassanio, since later in this scene he gives away the ring she gave him which he swore never to give up? (see Act 3, scene 2, lines 167-185) Your response should be about 200-250 words and should include specific references to lines in the play.

1. What is your research question?
Does Reality TV influence perceive body image in the adolescent child?
2. What is your hypothesis or hypotheses? What is the null hypothesis?
H0: Reality TV does not influence perceived body image in the adolescent child
H1: Reality TV does influence perceived body image in the adolescent child
3. Participants
To qualify as a participant in the study the age should range from eight years to sixteen years. Culturally, the study will use African American, Caucasian, and other racial backgrounds. I intend to use adolescents from the same socio-economic levels to attain reliability and validity with the current data analysis and collection for the study. I will use an audit trail and reflective journal to achieve a high degree of dependability.
4. Sampling technique
I will use a purposeful sample with the adequate number of adolescents to facilitate efficient and effective saturation of categories. Any negative case enhances validity since it demonstrates that the aspects of the analysis are less than obvious. Top improve transferability in the study I will use moderate populated schools in the samples that attract adolescents from multiple cultures, histories, and comparable socio-economic levels across the city.
5. What are the variables in your study?
Demographic data, race, body dissatisfaction, body image, ethnic background, socioeconomic status, media pressure, awareness, self-confidence, and internalization
6. Provide operational definitions for each variable.
The race will mention the cultural background of each participant. The awareness of body image and self-image begins to form at a young age. It is not clear whether the desire or pressure to become thin affects all adolescents equally. At the age of six, girls desire a thin body and use some types of diet to obtain low weight and thin body. Girls spend a lot of time watching television or magazines to focus on the appearance and use thin models.
Ethnically blacks interpret media influences from white or Hispanics. A majority of white participants indicate a desire to look at thin models shown in advertisements.
The media pressure will present one’s effect of media portrayal. There seems to be a consensus that the mass media does tend to influence one's perception of body image. Exposure of commercials that use thin models leads to higher levels of dissatisfaction with overall body image.
7Measuirng of variables
I will use a Body Dissatisfaction Subscale of the Eating Disorder Inventory to measure specific bodies such as waist and thighs. Additionally, A Multidimensional Media Influence Scale (MMIS) will measure five dimensions of media influence that include awareness of media thin ideal, media pu.

Using the Mental Measurements Yearbook, identify three measures of the constructs you are studying for your research question
1. What is your research question?
My research question will be does an individual diagnosed with schizophrenia who develops an addiction have an increased risk of becoming a serial killer? In particularly, are there any ecological influences that transpire in drug stimulated (mind altering), schizophrenic serial killers? If as a result, what aspects are involved?
2. Write a testablehypothesis for your research question.
The testable hypothesis All serial killers that are also schizophrenic can change their social environment which would include mind altering drugs. This should align with the research question and should clearly state exactly what (and the direction) you believe will happen in your research. For example, Patients with schizophrenia who develop addictions are more likely to become serial killers.
3. What constructs is your research question investigating?
The constructs that are going to be used in my research question consist of negative surroundings such as environments with drug abuse
, and observing the mental and physical effects
of a person that may be subjected to these negative environments and how it correlates to their growth of becoming a serial killer.
4. Using the Mental Measurements Yearbook, provide the following information for three measures of the constructs:
a. What is the test? Include the name and authors.
The first test is by way of Mark Shriver and Claudia Wright and is the Personal Experience Inventory for Adults.
The next test is by Tony Cellucci and Glenn Gelman and will be Inventory of Drug- Taking Situations.
The third test will be one by Allen Hess and Janet Smith and the title is Interview intended for the Retrospective Assessment of the Onset and Course of Schizophrenia and Other Psychoses.
b. How is the test used? Include the target population, how the test is administered, and what information it provides.
· In the Personal Experience Inventory for Adults it is intended to gain material about an individual’s abuse predicaments. The test is given out to persons 19 years of age and up
.
· In Inventory of Drug-Taking Situations it is designed to measure people and summarize thorough situations in which one has consumed drugs within the year. The target population is drug users.
· In the Interview for the Retrospective Assessment of the Onset and Course of Schizophrenia and Other Psychoses it is designed to evaluate signs and communal growth in schizophrenic individuals. The target population is adults who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia

Teenagers under 18 should not be allowed to sign up for social media because they are not mature enough to know the negative consequences when they post private information on social media, they may be overly dependent on it, and it may cause them to be narcissistic.

Depression’." Review of General Psychology: 1-13. Print.
The author, a cognitive scientist and philosopher of medicine, use quantitative data of Facebook using to identify the relationship between social media and depression or dysphoria. She finds a term named “Facebook depression” as the affective results of spending too much time on the social networking site. The users of Facebook may be less depressed under three circumstances: the user has larger number of friends online, the user spends much more time to read updates from friends, the user does so regularly, the content of the updates tends to praise nature. For this source, it may be useful for psychologists or people who are in Medical Humanities field. By comparing with a study by Koutamanis, shows the negative feedbacks may affect adolescents’ development. This article will help me to clarify the situation that social media may cause depression, but also there are methods to adjust the attitude and adapt the bad effects.

The authors, Ph. D of psychology in University of Georgia, collect numbers on the website Facebook and use the evidence of statistics, tables and graphs to explore: how Narcissism prove in the sites, how narcissism obvious in the Web pages, does narcissism predict activity in a Web community, and can the narcissism of a page owner be gleaned from the Web page. They find the social networking is dominating on human lives, and it is the significant part on the interaction. The results show that narcissists act, portray themselves, and perceived on social networking sites in a similar way to how they behave in offline life. For this source, it may be useful for the psychologists or experts on narcissism and society. By comparing with an earlier study by Blease, the data are both according to Facebook, but this study show the different phenomenon of Narcissism. This article will help me argue that social media has vast influence on human lives and it may causes teenagers to be narcissistic.

Cabrera, J. F., & Kwon, R. (2018). Income Inequality, Household Income, and Mass Shooting in the United States. Frontiers in Public Health, 6, 294.
The authors hypothesized that there is a positive relationship between income inequality and mass shootings. Furthermore, these authors also hypothesize that mass shootings vary based on regional locations. The authors of these articles aimed at extending the previous research that finds stronger evidence regarding the positive relations between income inequality and mass shootings. Authors of the study employed previous research that finds a strong positive relationship between income inequality and mass shootings through examining the impact of the family's income and the association between inequality and income. In order to perform the analysis regarding the effects of the family’s income and the interaction between inequality and income, authors compiled data from 3,144 nations from 1990 to 2015. The outcome of this study indicates that even though the income inequality and income alone are the predictors of the mass shootings, the impacts of mass shootings are stronger when combining via interaction. The results also show the highest number of shootings are those that combine both high levels of inequality and high levels of income. To handle the epidemic issue of mass shootings, it is important to have a clear understanding of how to tackle the rise in inequality and unstable environments which leads to the existence of inequality.This study is important since it gives some of the reasons why there are high incidences of a mass shooting in some regions as compared to others. Therefore, it gives a direct solution to ensure that there is equal distribution of resources and equal employment opportunities to ensure that the issue of mass shootings is dealt with. This study also indicates that effective solutions to mass shootings need to involve the understanding of the main causes of mass shootings
Lowe, S. R., & Galea, S. (2017). The Mental Health Consequences of Mass Shootings. Trauma, Violence, & Abuse , 18 (1), 62-82.
The authors of this study hypothesized that mass shooting leads to adverse psychological outcomes among the survivors and the members of the community affected. Another hypothesis is that there is little knowledge regarding the adverse psychological impacts of mass shootings on the exposed individuals. A total of 49 peer-reviewed articles which consisted of 27 independent samples following 15 mass shooting cases were used. The author's employed peer-reviewed research methods to select samples. The key findings of the study are that mass shootings are associated with various adverse psychological impacts in the survivors as well as the members of the affected families. Risk factors for the negative psychological outcome include demographic and the pre-incident features related t.

Media's influence on body image
Janet Hernandez
Introduction
The media and body image advertisement are two close concepts specifically; the body image advertising displays affects our body image. Despite other elements like parenting, education, intimate relationship influencing body image, media has the greatest impact. According to Diedrichs, (2012) Americans spends 250billion hours watching TV annually. Also, advertising occupies 30 % of all television airtime. Normal child watches 20,000 televisions commercial annually. In the print media, some magazines are filled with ads. In addition, social media has the highest of users compared to any other media globally. Anything seen for many hours influence us. As a result, media and body images are closely interrelated due to the numerous image we see in the media.
Wykes, M., & Gunter, B. (2015). The Media and Body Image: If Looks Could Kill. doi:10.4135/9781446215395
This article fits in the research topic because it covers the influence of advertisement in girls’ looks. It pinpoints that girls who like magazines, TVs are more likely to change and look like the persons in the magazines.
The article further discusses that the available applications have made it easy for persons to edit photos. This includes clearing blemishes, whitening of teeth, even to shaving off few pounds. For some users especially ladies, there is real problem in their body image. Additionally, this article postulates that notable percentage of people are changing their body images to match the ones in the media (Wykes & Gunter, 2015).
Levine, M. (2012). Media Influences on Female Body Image. Encyclopedia of Body Image and Human Appearance, 540-546. doi:10.1016/b978-0-12-384925-0.00085-7
As the title alludes, the article perfectly fits in this topic. This is because it covers how the female body image has been significantly influenced by the media. Also, it addresses how the females’ models have altered their body image. It provides an example where normal American woman is 5feet and 4inches and 166 pounds .In disparity, most model women are 5 feet and 11 inches in the media. The major question is how this disparity emerges. According to an interview conducted the major factor that influences this changes is the social media. This different stature and size is seen in the social media (Levine, 2012) .
Tiggemann, M. (2014). The Status of Media Effects on Body Image Research: Commentary on Articles in the Themed Issue on Body Image and Media. Media Psychology, 17(2), 127-133. doi:10.1080/15213269.2014.891822
This article is relevant as it pinpoints the media effects on body image. Again, it covers the how media has influenced the persons in different ways. One of the most notable topic covered in the article is the how girls in Fiji are affected by media. One survey in Fiji has shown that one in every ten girls have reported to have ...

In Act 4 during the trial scene, Bassanio says the following lines:
“Antonio, I am married to a wife
Which [who] is as dear to me as life itself;
But life itself, my wife, and all the world
Are not with me esteemed above your life.
I would lose all, ay sacrifice them all
Here to this devil [Shylock] to deliver [save] you.”
And Portia, who hears these lines (though Bassanio doesn’t know it), says,
“Your wife would give you little thanks for that
If she were [near]by to hear you make the offer.”
(Act 4, scene 1, 281-288
Is Antonio really more important to Bassanio than Portia? Explain why or why not. What do these lines tell us about the value of male friendship vs. marriage in this play? Would Portia be justified in rejecting Bassanio, since later in this scene he gives away the ring she gave him which he swore never to give up? (see Act 3, scene 2, lines 167-185) Your response should be about 200-250 words and should include specific references to lines in the play.

Through the advent of social media, a thing known as "slactivism" has arisen. This is literally activism through social media and, despite such a negative label, researchers are finding that this actually works! Activism through the medium of social media is having a significant impact. This is just ONE example of many of not only a "mass behavior" but can also fit into all 4 categories of social movements. The individuals involved in this mass behavior/social behavior could easily be examined within the lens of the "contagion theory" as well as the "emergent-norm theory."

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

5. Introduction
Aggression among the children and the adult is the primary
cause of wrong and unethical activity. Children are getting
violent and the peers are victimized by the aggressive behaviour
among the peer group. Most of the ill will causes are somehow
linked with or related with the level of aggression and therefore
it becomes important that the factors impacting the aggression
in adult and children are studied and examined, so as to address
the related issues. Aggressiveness can be classified in short
term or long term run. Short behaviour can also be referred as
mimicry and the long term aggressiveness is linked with the
problem of the brain and can be dangerous for both short and
long term (Nauert, 2008).
Explanation and justification of research question
The topic of research is media’s influence on aggression. The
statement of the problem is to research the impact of media on
aggression. Along with other factors contributing to the
aggression the contribution of media is significantly higher than
the others and therefore the influence and preference of media
is outlined in the research paper to critically analyze the
effective involvement of media in developing aggression.
Media’s influence on aggression, the media influences the
violence or aggression of adolescents and young adults due to
ignorance of the measures that should be taken to avoid the
same.
Many people have also put their views on the topic of research
and their views are quite helpful. They have not only showed us
how media affects or develops aggressiveness among
individuals but also helped us in knowing the hazards of
6. aggressiveness.
Dilwadin (2004) commented on various factors that predict the
aggression and explains the role of media in evaluating the
aggression out. The peer factors and the violent behavior in the
family are the factors that are predicting the aggression. High
blood pressure and other psychological factors are some other
factors that may predict the aggression.
Berkowitz & Macaulay (1971) showed a jump in the number of
violent crimes, after several murder cases. Suicides commonly
mentioned in the media have a greater probability of being
followed by other suicides. Nathason (2003) said that parents
can go a long way toward monitoring their children’s access to
violent media, which may in turn reduce the impact of violence.
Anderson et al (2003: p4), explain that the effects of violent
media have much been consecutively demonstrated. On the
other hand, other scholars (Freedman, 2002; Olson, 2004: p28)
explain that media violence research field has been
mismanaged, and that they show weak and inconsistent results.
There is a relationship between the media violence and the
violent behaviour which had been researched since 40 years and
laid down certain factors that put the people at risk for
aggression.
Presentation of hypothesis and null hypothesis
The hypothesis is an exposure to the misinformation that leads
to distortions of human memory. The media is responsible for
delivering certain misinformation or untrue information by
hiding certain events that are experienced genuinely and even
the details of individuals and places.
Null Hypothesis: The memory of the humans is not affected by
certain events that are experienced, as the details of the
individual, places and things are misinformed.
Media as whole which includes internet, television, etc are all
responsible for spreading aggressiveness among the children.
Children watch violent scenes in television and try t imitate
them. They believe that whatever they see is true, they are
unaware of the fact that there are certain things that are shown
7. in the television which is not real, it’s imaginary. Comment by
Yvonne Bustamante: This is a good start with your hypothesis
on media and its influence on aggression in people. However, it
needs to be tweaked some to make it more specific so it can be
measured and tested. For example, “Adults who are exposed to
violent media will display more violent behaviour while
completing a task than adults who complete the same task, but
are not exposed to violent media.”
Analysis of participant’s exclusion/inclusion factors
For my research study, I would like to use 120 participants. Out
of these participants there should be an even distribution of the
number of males and females that is 60 members from each
gender. I have decided to involve both the gender as the study
cannot be completed by females only and the same goes with
males also. All the participants of my study belong to the age
group of 18-55 years. I have decided to split them into three
different groups and they are 18-30, 31-44 and 45-55 with each
group consisting of 40 participants. Ethnicity and even race
should be evenly divided among the groups. Yes I would like to
exclude those individuals who are below 18 years or above 55
years.
Nauert, (2008) commented that the influence of media on
aggression is mostly seen and depicted in children. However
there are various factors that could lead to aggression in adults.
According to the research the aggression linked with media is
far more spread to the children rather than the adults.
It is correct that the affect of media is greatly seen on teenagers
as per Nauert but we are conducting a research on mostly people
of the age group 18-55 because they are grown up and sensible
enough to participate in the survey. Everyone below 18 or
above 55 is ineligible to participate. The survey is mostly
focused on the grown up.
Explanation of sampling technique and characterization of
population that sample generalized
Secondary data for the purpose of the literature review will be
collected from books, journals, e-sources, and articles. The
8. researcher intends to collect primary data by analysing the
behaviour of people and the impact of their behaviour on social
life and social impacts. The researcher will conduct a literature
review using secondary data and will analyse influence of media
on the aggressive behaviour of the people.
Data is collected for this research mainly through the use of
secondary data and secondary sources. Research conducted in
relation to the topic is studies, and the conclusion is based on
the pre-estimated result and analysis. Surveys are also done and
the results of various surveys estimates that media has the
preferential role in determining the level of aggression in
people. The sample generalizes the population as it is evident
that risk factors are related to various categories of population
and can be attributed to various individual and other risk
factors.
Various examples have been seen where individuals basically
children have acted in a more vigorous manner after watching a
violent scene. One such example is.
Josephson assigned 396 kids to watch either a violent or a
nonviolent film before they played a game of floor hockey in
school to create an example of violent behaviour in young
children. The outcome was that they were aggressive while
playing hockey (Josephson, 1987: p53). This example shows
that exposing violent material to young people increases their
chances of behaving violently afterwards.
Identification of study's variables
In the study of media’s affect on aggressiveness we come across
many variables like Gender, Age, Race, Ethnicity, Information,
Misinformation, Discussion, Event and Survey. It is very
important to properly understand the variables associated with
our study as it has a very important part to play in our survey.
Comment by Yvonne Bustamante: In this question you
need to identify both your independent variable and your
dependent variable. The independent variable is the one you
manipulate or in survey research the one that influences the
dependent variable (media). The dependent variable is the one
9. you measure (a measure of violent behaviour in participants).
Operational definitions for each variable are defined
Comment by Yvonne Bustamante: Okay, good definitions,
the however are only definitions and not operational definitions.
An operational definition identifies one or more specific,
observable events or conditions such that any other researcher
can independently measure and/or test for them.
Example: A researcher measuring happiness and depression in
college students decides to use a ten-question happiness scale to
measure positive outlook in her subjects. In other words, her
operational definition of happiness in this case is a given
subject’s score on the test.
Gender: It relates to the sex of a person.
Age: It is considered as the total number of the years passed
since birth after deducting the birth year and even the current
year.
Race: It is a communal concept that is used for the
classification of humans according to their cultural, ethnic,
genetic, religious, anatomical, geographical, historical,
linguistic and even communal affiliation.
Ethnicity: It means classifying a person as an European
American, Native American, African American or other.
Information: It resembles all the details or the facts of a subject
helping us to understand it more properly.
Misinformation: The information that is intentionally untrue and
is deliberately spread to hinder one’s study
Discussion: It is a conversation carried out amount a person(s)
on a certain topic(s) either for sharing ones ideas or for
reaching a certain decision.
Event: It is an incident or something that happens in a certain
place in a certain interval of time
Survey: “A Method of collecting information or facts as stated
10. by people. This type of collection of data is called self-report
data that implies that the people have completed the survey
themselves” (Alleydog.com, 2014).
Development of methods to measure each variable, and the
reliability and validity of these measures are evaluated.
Comment by Yvonne Bustamante: What are the study
materials? What will you use to measure relapse rate or the
effectiveness of the treatments? A questionnaire? This should
be a discussion of what type of measure you will use, for
example, surveys, assessments, tests. Then you would want to
discuss how reliable the measure is (does it given consistent
results over time) and how valid it is (does it measure what it
reports to measure).
Gender: Measuring gender is quite a nominal process; we have
two options either male or female. One must note that the
person getting involved in the survey is giving the correct
information.
Age: It is calculated on the scale of time. We have to totally
depend upon the participant that he or she is giving us his or her
correct age. It entirely depends upon trust.
Race: Even the information about a participant’s race totally
depends upon the genuineness of information that is given by
the participants. Everything depends upon trust.
Ethnicity: Well it is generally used to categorize the
participants into various categories like Latino or Hispanic or
Not Latino or Not Hispanic. Trust is an important factor
Misinformation: measured in a nominal point with received and
non received categories. This is trustworth0y as it known
whether the contestants received or have not received
misinformation. It is valid as it is answerable to the question on
participant’s getting misinformation or not.
Description of technique(s) used for data collection.
Well the technique that is used for collecting data is by making
the participants watch a video clip and after that asking
numerous questions to them and their answers are noted down
11. by using a paper and a pencil.
Some previous techniques used by other people to collect data
or observe the aggressive behaviour of children are as follows.
Josephson assigned 396 kids to watch either a violent or a
nonviolent film before they played a game of floor hockey in
school to create an example of violent behavior in young
children. The outcome was that they were aggressive while
playing hockey (Josephson, 1987: p53). This example shows
that exposing violent material to young people increases their
chances of behaving violently afterwards.
Similar effects of aggressiveness are observed among older
adolescents and young adults. Violent clips make them more
aggressive compared to the nonviolent clips (Jones, 1995: p69).
An experiment testing the aggressiveness of younger adults
where each participant was allowed to blast their opponent with
noise recorded the same results, that the violent ones selected a
greater volume and duration than the nonviolent (Jones, 1995).
Description of the research design being used
The type of research design that is being used is correlation
research. This type of design helps in the relationship between
two and more variable like receiving misinformation and its
side effect on the memory of the eyewitness and the testimony.
A quantitative technique will be utilized in my study.
Identification of the research procedure
All the contestants who will be participating in the study will be
first asked to watch a video on crime that will be of two
minutes. After that they will have to go through a number of
stages. The first stage is one in which the participants have to
solve crossword puzzles, Sudoku, mazes and word search. They
will be given 8 minutes in the first stage. Narrative is the
second part. In this part the participants they are supposed to
read the narrative and they are given only 3 minutes for that.
The narrative version portrays true data and details and also a
variant version which contains the misleading data. Next they
are given 20 questions, 5 of which are from the misleading data.
All the participants are instructed to discuss the questions
12. among themselves and come up with a single response. Next is
the turn of the demographic questions where four questions
related to the race, age, gender and ethnicity is asked. The
participants are given 5 minutes to answer this section. After
that the participants are given another question including a free
recalling prompt. Next 2 more recalling questions are given for
the participant’s of both the groups. In total 10 minutes is given
for this section. The participants are instructed to continue with
their filler activities if they are left with time. Comment by
Yvonne Bustamante: Good this would match the hypothesis I
suggested above.
Prediction of POTENTIAL ethical issues; POTENTIAL ethical
issues are evaluated in terms of how they would be addressed
This research is carried out by a limited population of children
and adults. Another issue is that as the research is conducted
based on the secondary review and is preceded by collecting
data from financial research already studied on this topic. All
the respondents will be made aware of the purpose of the
research and will be free to take part in the process at their will
only. They will be free to leave the process at any time they
desire, and their identity will not be revealed without their
permission. All ethical sanctions as per university norms will be
obtainedby collecting secondary data and analysing the survey.
Conclusion
Aggressiveness is very common among today’s teenagers and
the main cause for it seems to be media. With the introduction
of portable media devices it has become very difficult for the
parents to keep a watch on their children all the time. Well this
is a very common thing and it should be avoided. Parents
monitoring is very essential. Even schools and policy makers
should work as a team along with the parents to keep a control
on the children’s aggressive behaviour. Steps should be taken to
prevent them from watching violent scenes and acting
aggressively.
