victims of crime? Why?
2. What is your biggest takeaway with regard to women and girls as
perpetrators of crime? Why?
3. What is your biggest takeaway with regard to women as
professionals in the criminal legal system? Why?
Each of these three questions should be answered in essay format, and material from your modules should be used and cited in your answers. Each essay should be 2-3 pages, double spaced, with no extraneous spacing (so a total of 6 to 9 pages). Please cite the information you use for your answers within and at the end of the text.

Assignment Instructions
My Personality Theory Paper
Instructions:
For this assignment, you will write a paper no less than 7 pages in length, not including required cover and Reference pages, describing a single personality theory from the course readings that best explains your own personality and life choices. You are free to select from among the several theories covered in the course to date but only one theory may be used.
Your task is to demonstrate your knowledge of the theory you choose via descriptions of its key concepts and use of them to explain how you developed your own personality. It is recommended that you revisit the material covered to date to refresh your knowledge of theory details. This is a "midterm" assignment and you should show in your work that you have studied and comprehended the first four weeks of course material. Your submission should be double-spaced with 1 inch margins on all sides of each page and should be free of spelling and grammar errors. It must include source crediting of any materials used in APA format, including source citations in the body of your paper and in a Reference list attached to the end. Easy to follow guides to APA formatting can be found on the tutorial section of the APUS Online Library.
Your paper will include three parts:
I. A brief description of the premise and key components of the theory you selected. You should be thorough and concise in this section and not spend the bulk of the paper detailing the theory, but rather just give enough of a summary of the key points so that an intelligent but uniformed reader would be able to understand its basics. If you pick a more complicated theory, you should expect explaining its premise and key components to take longer than explaining the same for one of the simpler theories but, in either case, focus on the basics and keep in mind that a paper that is almost all theory description and little use of the theory described to explain your own personality will receive a significant point deduction as will the reverse case of the paper being largely personal experience sharing with little linkage to clearly described key theory components.
II. A description of how your chosen theory explains your personality and life choices with supporting examples.
III. A description of the limitations of the theory in explaining your personality or anyone else’s.
NOTE: Although only your instructor will be reading your paper, you should still think about how much personal information you want to disclose. The purpose of this paper is not to get you to share private information, but rather to bring one .

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The difference between the right word

Mark Twain
People First Language
Did you know that people with disabilities con-
stitute our nation’s largest minority group (one in five
Americans has a disability)? It’s also the most inclusive
and most diverse group: all ages, genders, religions,
ethnicities, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic
levels are represented.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, individuals
with disabilities are not:
• People who suffer from the tragedy of birth defects.
• Paraplegic heroes who struggle to become normal again.
• Victims who fight to overcome their challenges.
Nor are they the retarded, autistic, blind, deaf,
learning disabled, etc.—ad nauseam!
They are people: moms and
9. dads; sons and daughters; employ-
ees and employers; friends and
neighbors; students and teachers;
scientists, reporters, doctors, ac-
tors, presidents, and more. People
with disabilities are people, first.
They do not represent the stereotypical perception:
a homogenous sub-species called “the handicapped” or
“the disabled.” Each person is a unique individual.
The only thing they may have in common with
one another is being on the receiving end of societal
ignorance, prejudice, and discrimination. Furthermore,
this largest minority group is the only one that any per-
son can join at any time: at birth or later—through an
accident, illness, or the aging process. When it happens
to you, will you have more in common with others who
have disability diagnoses or with family, friends, and
co-workers? How will you want to be described and
how will you want to be treated?
What is a Disability?
Is there a universally-accepted definition of
disability? No! First and foremost, a disability descriptor
is simply a medical diagnosis, which may become a
sociopolitical passport to services or legal status. Beyond
that, the definition is up for grabs, depending on which
service system is accessed. The “disability criteria” for
early intervention is different from early childhood,
which is different from special education, which is
different from vocational-rehabilitation, which is
different from worker’s compensation, which is different
from the military, and so on. Thus, “disability” is a
10. governmental sociopolitical construct, created to identify
those entitled to specific services or legal protections.
—the PoWer of language anD labels—
Words are powerful. Old, inaccurate descriptors
and the inappropriate use of medical diagnoses
perpetuate negative stereotypes and reinforce a
significant and incredibly powerful attitudinal barrier.
And this invisible, but potent, force—not the diagnosis
itself—is the greatest obstacle facing
individuals who have conditions
we call disabilities.
When we see the diagnosis as
the most important characteristic
of a person, we devalue her as an
individual. Do you want to be
known for your psoriasis, arthritis, diabetes, sexual
dysfunction, or any other condition?
Disability diagnoses are, unfortunately, often used
to define a person’s value and potential, and low expecta-
tions and a dismal future are the predicted norm. Too
often, we make decisions about how/where the person
will be educated, whether he’ll work or not, where/how
he’ll live, and what services are offered, based on the
person’s medical diagnosis, instead of the person’s unique
and individual strengths and needs.
With the best of intentions, we work on people’s
bodies and brains, while paying scant attention to their
hearts and minds. Far too often, the “help” provided
can actually cause harm—and can ruin people’s lives—for
11. “special” services usually result in lifelong social isola-
tion and physical segregation: in special ed classrooms,
residential facilities, day programs, sheltered work envi-
ronments, segregated recreational activities, and more.
Are other people isolated, segregated, and devalued
because of their medical conditions? No.

If thought corrupts language,
language can also corrupt thought.
George Orwell
—inaccurate DescriPtors—
“Handicapped” is an archaic term (no longer
used in federal legislation) that evokes negative images
of pity, fear, and worse. The origin of the word is from
an Old English bartering game, in which the loser was
left with his “hand in his cap” and was said to be at a
disadvantage. It was later applied to other people who
were thought to be “disadvantaged.” A legendary origin
of the word refers to a person with a disability begging
with his “cap in his hand.” Regardless of origin, this
antiquated term perpetuates the negative perception
that people with disabilities are a homogenous group
of pitiful, needy people! But others who share a certain
characteristic are not all alike, and individuals who hap-
pen to have disabilities are not all alike. In fact, people
with disabilities are more like people without disabilities
than different!
“Handicapped” is often used to describe modified
12. parking spaces, hotel rooms, restrooms, etc. But these
usually provide access for people
with physical or mobility needs—
and they may provide no benefit
for people with visual, hearing, or
other conditions. This is one ex-
ample of the misuse of the H-word as a generic descriptor.
(The accurate term for modified parking spaces, hotel
rooms, etc. is “accessible.”)
“Disabled” is also not appropriate. Traffic reporters
often say, “disabled vehicle.” They once said, “stalled
car.” Sports reporters say an athlete is on “the disabled
list.” They once said, “injured reserve.” Other uses of
this word today mean “broken/non-functioning.” People
with disabilities are not broken!
If a new toaster doesn’t work, we say it’s “defective”
or “damaged,” and either return it or throw it away.
Shall we do the same to babies with “birth defects” or
adults with “brain damage”? The accurate and respect-
ful descriptors are “congenital disability” and “brain
injury.”
Many parents say, “My child has special needs.”
This term generates pity, as demonstrated by the usual
response: “Oh, I’m so sorry,” accompanied by a sad look
or a sympathetic pat on the arm. (Gag!) A person’s needs
aren’t “special” to him—they’re ordinary! Many adults
have said they detested this descriptor as children. Let’s
learn from them, and stop using this pity-laden term!
“Suffers from,” “afflicted with,” “victim of,” “low/
high functioning,” and similar descriptors are inaccu-
rate, inappropriate, and archaic. A person simply “has”
a disability or a medical diagnosis.
13. —Disability is Not the “Problem”—
We seem to spend more time talking about the
“problems” of a person with a disability than anything
else. People without disabilities, however, don’t con-
stantly talk about their problems. This would result in
an inaccurate perception, and would also be counter-
productive to creating a positive image. A person who
wears glasses, for example, doesn’t say, “I have a problem
seeing.” She says, “I wear [or need] glasses.”
What is routinely called a “problem” actually
reflects a need. Thus, Susan doesn’t “have a problem
walking,” she “needs/uses a wheelchair.” Ryan doesn’t
“have behavior problems,” he “needs behavior sup-
ports.” Do you want to be known by your “problems” or
by the many positive characteristics that make you the
unique individual you are? When will people without
disabilities begin speaking about people with disabilities
in the respectful way they speak about themselves?
Then there’s the use of
“wrong” as in, “We knew there
was something wrong because...”
What must it feel like when a
child hears his parents repeat this
over and over and over again?
How would you feel if those who are supposed to love
and support you constantly talk about what’s “wrong”
with you? Isn’t it time to stop using words that cause
harm?
the real Problems are attituDinal
anD environmental barriers
14. The real problem is never a person’s disability, but
the attitudes of others! A change in our attitudes leads
to changes in our actions. Attitudes drive actions.
If educators believed in the potential of all
children, and if they recognized that boys and girls
with disabilities need a quality education so they
can become successful in the adult world of work,
millions of children would no longer be segregated and
undereducated in special ed classrooms. If employers
believed adults with disabilities have (or could learn)
valuable job skills, we wouldn’t have an estimated (and
shameful) 75 percent unemployment rate of people with
disabilities. If merchants saw people with disabilities as
customers with money to spend, we wouldn’t have so
many inaccessible stores, theaters, restrooms, and more.
If the service system identified people with disabilities
as “people we serve,” instead of “clients, consumers,
recipients,” perhaps those employed in the field would
-3-
The greatest discovery of my
generation is that human beings
can alter their lives by altering
their attitudes of mind.
William James
realize they are dependent on people with disabilities for
their livelihoods, and would, therefore, treat people with
disabilities with greater respect and deference.
15. If individuals with disabilities and family members
saw themselves as first-class citizens who can and should
be fully included in all areas of society, we might focus
on what’s really important: living a Real Life in the Real
World, enjoying ordinary relationships and experi-
ences, and dreaming big dreams (like people without
disabilities), instead of living a Special, Segregated Life
in Disability World, where services, low expectations,
poverty, dependence, and hopelessness are the norm.
—a neW ParaDigm—
“Disability is a natural Part of the human exPerience...”
U.S. Developmental Disabilities/Bill of Rights Act
Like gender, ethnicity, and other traits, a disability
is simply one of many natural characteristics of being
human. Are you defined by your gender, ethnicity, reli-
gion, age, sexual orientation, or other trait? No! So how
can we define others by a characteristic
that is known as a “disability”?
Yes, disability is natural, and it
can be redefined as “a body part that
works differently.” A person with
spina bifida may have legs that work
differently, a person with Down
syndrome may learn differently, and so forth. And
the body parts of people without disabilities are also
different—it’s the way these differences impact a person
that creates the eligibility for services, entitlements, or
legal protections.
In addition, a disability is often a consequence
of the environment. For example, many children with
attention-deficit disorder (ADD) and similar conditions
16. are not diagnosed until they enter public school. Why
then? Perhaps when they were younger, their learning
styles were supported by parents and preschool teachers.
But once in public school, if the child’s learning style
doesn’t match an educator’s teaching style, the child
is said to have a “disability,” and is shipped off to the
special ed department. Why do we blame the child, label
him, and segregate him in a special classroom? Shouldn’t
we, per special ed law, modify the regular curriculum
and/or provide supports so he can learn in ways that are
best for him? It seems that ADD and other conditions
may be “environmentally-induced disabilities”!
When a person is in a welcoming, accessible envi-
ronment, with appropriate supports, accommodations,
and tools, where she can be successful, does she still have
a disability? No. Disability is not a constant state. The
diagnosis may be constant, but whether it’s a disability
is more a consequence of the environment than what a
person’s body or brain can/cannot do. We don’t need
to change people with disabilities through therapies or
interventions. We need to change the environment, by
providing assistive technology devices, supports, and
accommodations to ensure a person’s success.
using PeoPle first language is crucial
People First Language puts the person before the
disability, and describes what a person has, not who a
person is.
Are you myopic or do you wear glasses?
Are you cancerous or do you have cancer?
Is a person handicapped/disabled
17. or does she have a disability?
If people with disabilities are to be included in all
aspects of society, and if they’re to be respected and val-
ued as our fellow citizens, we must stop using language
that marginalizes and sets them apart.
Numerous historical examples of hor-
rific treatment by the “majority” toward
a “minority” demonstrate that the pro-
cess begins with language that devalues
and makes others “less than.”
The use of disability descriptors is appropriate only
in the service system, at IFSP, IEP, ISP meetings, and/or
in medical or legal settings. Medical diagnoses have no
place—and they should be irrelevant—within families,
among friends, and in the community.
Many people share a person’s diagnosis in an at-
tempt to provide helpful information, as when a parent
says, “My child has Down syndrome,” hoping others
will understand what the child needs. But this can lead
to disastrous outcomes! The diagnosis can scare people,
generate pity, and/or set up exclusion (“We can’t handle
people like that...”). Thus, in certain circumstances, and
when it’s appropriate, we can simply share information
about what the person needs in a respectful, dignified
manner, and omit the diagnosis.
Besides, the diagnosis is nobody’s business! Have in-
dividuals with disabilities given us permission to share
their personal information with others? If not, how
dare we violate their trust? Do you routinely tell every
Tom, Dick, and Harry about the boil on your spouse’s
behind? (I hope not!) And we often talk about people
18. with disabilities in front of them, as if they’re not there.
Let’s stop this demeaning practice.

My son, Benjamin, is 28 years old. His interests,
strengths, and dreams are more important than his di-
agnosis. He loves politics, American history, classic rock,
and movies; he’s earned two karate belts, performed in
plays, and won a national award for his Thumbs Down to
Pity film. Benj has earned his Master’s degree and is on
the job hunt. He has blonde hair, blue eyes, and cerebral
palsy. His diagnosis is just one of many characteristics
of his whole persona. He is not his disability, and his
potential cannot be predicted by his diagnosis.
When I meet new people, I don’t whine that I’ll
never be a prima ballerina. I focus on what I can do, not
what I can’t. Don’t you do the same? So when speak-
ing about my son, I don’t say, “Benj can’t write with a
pencil.” I say, “Benj writes on his computer.” I don’t
say, “He can’t walk.” I say, “He uses a power chair.” It’s
a simple, but vitally important, matter of perspective.
If I want others to know what a great young man he
is—more importantly, if I want him to know what a
great young man he is—I must use positive and accurate
descriptors that portray him as a wonderful, valuable,
and respected person.
20. The words used about a person have a powerful
impact on the person. For generations, the hearts and
minds of people with disabilities have been crushed by
negative, stereotypical descriptors that, in turn, led to
segregation, abuse, devaluation, forced sterilization,
and worse. We must stop believing and perpetuating
the myths—the lies—of labels. Children and adults
who have conditions called “disabilities” are unique
individuals with unlimited potential, like everyone else!
The Civil Rights and Women’s Movements
prompted changes in language, attitudes, and actions.
The Disability Rights Movement is following in those
important footsteps. People First Language was created
by individuals who said, “We are not our disabilities;
we are people, first.” It’s not “political correctness,” but
good manners and respect.
We can create a new paradigm of disability. In the
process, we’ll change ourselves and our world—and also
generate positive change in the lives of people with dis-
abilities. It’s time to care about how our words impact
the people we’re talking about, and to be mindful of the
attitudes and actions generated by the words we use.
