    To begin your milestone, you will first select one of the professions from the

    To begin your milestone, you will first select one of the professions from the list provided. Next, use your Project Two Milestone Template Word Document to address each of the following rubric criteria in about 3 to 5 sentences:

    Personality and the Individual

    Identify one trait from the Big Five (openness, also known as intellect/imagination; conscientiousness; extraversion; agreeableness; or neuroticism, also known as emotional stability) that you think is particularly important for your selected profession and justify your response.

    For example, it may be important for a lawyer to possess the trait of conscientiousness. Reliability and diligence seem to be an important part of the job. Being disorganized and impulsive might not serve a lawyer’s clients well.

    Describe whether it would be most ideal for your selected professional to be low, high, or mixed for the Big Five trait you identified for most situations and justify your response.

    For example, it may be important for a lawyer to score low on neuroticism (high on emotional stability) since they need to listen and think things through. It seems best if negative affect does not interfere with their ability to present a case. However, there are times when lawyers can be seen as emotional and even aggressive.

    Explain whether you think the effectiveness of the Big Five trait you selected depends on the situation. To justify your response, provide a real or imagined example where the trait would benefit the professional and an example where the same trait would not benefit the professional.

    For example, maybe openness would be important when a lawyer searches for evidence in favor of the client, but the appearance of openness to new ideas might not be as important while advocating for the client in court.

    Personality and Teams

    Identify another trait from the Big Five for your selected profession and describe how scoring low, high, or mixed on that trait might influence how that professional conducts their work or interacts with others.

    For example, it may be important for a lawyer to score average to low on agreeableness. They need to be able to present an opposing view and fight for their clients, but they also must be able to cooperate and work with others within the court system.

    Explain whether you think it is better to have a diversity of traits within the same profession or among professionals with the same role or whether it is better for the professionals to exhibit the same traits. Justify your response.

    For example, some lawyers are extroverted and some are introverted. Regardless of how they fall on this trait dimension, they can likely perform their job well. Also, some lawyers are less agreeable than others. Depending on the case, having a choice in the type of lawyer selected can be helpful to meet client needs.

    Personality, Stress, and Coping

    Describe how you would expect your selected professional to cope with stress using a trait you identified previously or a new trait of your choosing.

    For example, a lawyer would likely cope better with stress if they score lower on the neuroticism trait dimension. This means they would be more emotionally stable and less impulsive.

    Explain what kind of support you would expect from a person in this profession if you were seeking help or advice. Consider how much emotional intelligence you might expect your selected professional to display.

    For example, a lawyer would likely be open to hearing a client’s story and seeing it from their perspective. The lawyer would likely want to help the client and offer sound legal advice and a clear plan of action. To be able to advocate for a client, a lawyer would need to be able to step into the client’s shoes and also use legal training and knowledge to leverage the best chance for success.

    Successful rehabilitation of an offender out of a criminal lifestyle has been, a

    Successful rehabilitation of an offender out of a criminal lifestyle has been, and will continue to be, a highly debatable topic in our society. No one has discovered the secret for a treatment strategy or type of rehabilitation program that will “always” be successful at preventing an offender from returning to incarceration. However, researchers and mental health/psychology professionals specializing in offender rehabilitation have been able to identify why some strategies are more effective than others. Furthermore, they have discovered the importance of understanding the intricacies of a criminal mind and how every offender has unique criminal motivators and needs.
    The treatment and rehabilitation of criminal offenders garner attention in the field and debate over the effectiveness of treatment as it relates to the reduction of recidivism continues. Choose an article of your choice to discuss the effectiveness of treating criminal offenders. You may address an individual case, a single population of offenders, or offenders in general.
    *Provide details on evidenced-based strategies proven to be effective at successfully reducing recidivism.
    *Explore reasons and/or examples for why some criminal rehabilitation practices have been ineffective at reducing recidivism rates.
    *Also, discuss some of the unique factors one must consider when working with a forensic population that may not be a concern in other clinical populations.
    The textbook below should be referenced. You can reference another academic source that is at the most 10 years old.

    Hello everyone;
    I practiced responsive listening with a family member who was telling me about how they were managing multiple projects at work. I made sure to show I was listening through things like eye contact and mirroring their body language. I also used phrases like “That sounds like a lot” to keep the conversation flowing. Afterward, we checked the listening checklist, and I felt good about how much I’d really focused on them. But the toughest part for me was not immediately jumping to solutions I really had to catch myself from offering advice too soon. I think when there’s a pause in the conversation, my instinct is to try and help fix the problem, but I realized that sometimes people just need someone to listen and acknowledge their struggles. It was definitely an eye opener to see how much value there is in just being present and validating their feelings without trying to fix everything. This really ties into the idea that responsive listening builds trust and rapport (Knackendoffel, Dettmer, & Thurston, 2018). I’ll definitely keep working on staying in the listening role and not rushing to fix things.

    Assignment: Form and Principles
    Learning how to explore and apply knowledge of the elements and principles of visual organization to conduct a formal analysis of an artwork is one of the learning outcomes of this course. This assignment prepares you to write about the formal elements and the principles of design of an artwork. Please be sure to read Chapters 1-5 and be familiar with the terms in those chapters before completing this assignment.
    Learning objective of this assignment:
    Explore and apply knowledge of the principles of visual organization to conduct formal analysis of artworks
    Task 1: Select a work from the Form and Principle Image List.
    Review the image list and find an image that appeals to you*. Note that each image will have a caption linking to where the work of art is located. Use this information to research the work and/the artist. Please keep in mind that research is only as good as the source, so be ruthless in your search for reputable information. Two sources are required. Please note: Wikipedia should only be considered a secondary source at best.
    *Please note: you must analyze a work from this list. An analysis of an image not on this list will not be accepted.
    Consider reviewing the video below How to Write and Talk about the Elements of Art and Principles of Design
    I take issue with one thing in the clip. If an edge or a shape is created by value contrast and not an actual line, that is an edge not a line.
    Task 2
    Write a paper, including a labeled image of your chosen work, as detailed below:
    In the first paragraph, describe the formal elements the artist uses in the work—line, shape, color, texture, space, light, value. Use specific vocabulary. Be specific. You need to use at least 3 specific terms in context related to formal elements (Chapter 4).
    Then, discuss the principles of design—balance, emphasis and focal point, scale and proportion, repetition and rhythm, and unity and variety, emphasis and subordination, scale and proportion. Which of the principles of design stands out to you? You must use at least 2 terms related to principles of design (chapter 5). In this paragraph, be sure you do not talk about subject matter or content.

    In an additional paragraph, first state the subject matter, then give your opinion of the content. Then research the content of the artwork and/or the artist briefly. Try to relate your research to your chosen image. Please write in your own words; you may include a brief quote, but the majority of what you write should be your words.
    Please utilize scholarly sources, not student blogs or homework help websites—you will not receive credit for poor sources. If you have questions about citations, here is a good resource from your CPCC Library: How Citations Work opens in new window
    Word count should be between 300 and 400 words.
    Task 3
    Before submit your work by uploading your file to the submission link, compare to the exemplary column of the Grading rubric.

    Please post your running recordsLinks to an external site. and your analysis for the early childhood observation here. For this observation, you should be observing children between 2.5 and 7 years old. As with the infant/toddler observation, you may make an appointment and observe children through the cameras at the GCC Child Development Center (if you’d like to go into the classrooms, you’d need to have evidence of vaccination records, please let me know ASAP if you’re interested in that). If you’re not able to make it to the Child Development Center, as with the previous observation, you may observe a child you already know, you may request to do an observation at a school near you, or, with permission from their legal guardian, you may observe a child in a park or other setting. I may be asking to follow up with the guardian of the child, so please make sure you have this information. Please make sure the child is not sleeping or being required to sit and follow someone else’s instructions. We want to see the child as freely as possible. So if you’re observing at a school, you want to make sure it’s at a time where you’re able to observe the child actually engaging, responding, etc. In the same way that you did last week, please conduct a running record of children between 2.5-7, they should come close to totaling 30 minutes. Complete this as a running record – where you write objectively what you see, without opinions or assumptions. Don’t tell me the child is happy or sad, describe what you’re seeing and let me decide how they are feeling based on your description. This should be written as a narrative, not bullet points. The analysis of the observation includes at least three connections between what you observed and the terms and concepts from the readings on early childhood development. Make specific connections, tell me what you observed, what the readings said, and why what you observed is connected to what you read.
