The focus of Chapter 9 is ‘Prejudice’. The purpose of this assignment is to acquaint you with the flipside of prejudice and discrimination. This concept is referred to as unearned privilege. There are many forms of unearned privilege (e.g., white, male, American, rich, Christian, pretty, English-speaking, tall, etc.). Can you think of some ways that people who fall into the aforementioned groups have an easier time navigating the world? Some people suggest that systems of privilege are established acts of aggression against the downtrodden. What are your thoughts on the subject?You may have heard some discussion about this topic already (e.g., a recent song featuring MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS FEAT.

Reply to:Internal validity is the ability for a study to show the relationship a treatment and the outcome (Myers & Hansen, 2012). External validity is how well a study outcome can be generalized (Myers & Hansen, 2012). Researchers have various resources available to help increase the internal and external validity of experiments. External validity of an experiment can be proven by conducting further studies. Aggregation, multivariable designs, nonreactive measurements, field experiments, and naturalistic observations are five techniques that researchers can use to help increase external validity of experiments (Myers & Hansen, 2012). In order to help increase internal validity of experiments researchers can ensure that no outside influence could be responsible for the results otherwise known as confounding. Another method that can be used to help increase internal validity is by using blinding. Blinding can be achieved by making sure that the participants are not aware of which variable they are being exposed to.

Taking on the role of the expert in the treatment of schizophrenia or depression, you will prepare a presentation for a group of physicians who are seeking your opinion on the treatment of patients with these disorders.

Begin by creating your PowerPoint presentation. In the presentation, include information which explains the neurotransmitter theory behind the disorder and how the drugs used to treat the disorder affect those neurotransmitter systems.  Evaluate the risk and benefits of treating a patient with the most common type of medication and of not using drugs to treat the patient. In your evaluation, examine issues such as the rate of success with the most common drugs used as well as the incidence of side effects with these same drugs, including mortality associated with drug use. Then consider not using medications to treat the disorder. Take into account the natural course of the illness, the rate of spontaneous recovery, and the rate of mortality when untreated. You may also incorporate the use of other modes of treatment into your evaluation.Your PowerPoint must include your presenter notes in the notes field to indicate what you intend to say during the screencast and well-chosen images to enhance the understanding of your audience. Remember that your screencast will be a maximum of five-minutes, and use your speaker notes to ensure that you will be able to present your materials within this time limit. (You may access Garr Reynolds’s Top Ten Slide Tips (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. for additional assistance in creating an effective visual presentation.) Once you have created your PowerPoint you will create a screencast presentation of up to 5 minutes in length using any screencasting software you choose.
