Clinical Psychologist Assessment Although biomedical care is essential in providing mental health care, it is not sufficient on its own. A pediatrician’s interactions with his patient must be fully informed by a psychosocial understanding. There is a need to integrate biomedical, psychosocial, and behavioral knowledge in understanding how the human brain works and interacts and how that results in either normality or abnormality. Biological, psychosocial, and behavioral aspects interact in an interdependent and systematic manner to cause illness or maintain good health. In a scenario, where an eleven-year-old girl is having behavior and academic problems in school, clinical health psychology plays a significant role in determining the presence or absence of a mental disorder. The patient, therefore, needs to first consider seeking attention from a clinical psychologist before submitting to any form of medical prescription. Change in behavior is a common sign in mental disorders but it may not be precise to conclude that that the patient is indeed suffering from a mental disorder. It would be a misguided attempt to prescribe Ritalin to the eleven-year-old girl for assuming that…

American Government Question 1 I agree with Alexander Hamilton’s statement that “Judiciary is the weakest branch of the government. The Judiciary does a vital role in the society were the judiciary powers are manifested in the courts, and according to the United States constitution (Lewis-Beck et al.,2008). The Judiciary has the potential to oversee disputes being dissolved and help to make decisions based on the legal issues. The Judiciary has the power to do an interpretation of the law, reviewing and pronouncing the law constitutionality or any other legislative and executive acts. The legislative arm of the government has the responsibility of making law and order based on social needs and representations. The executive has the power to enforce plus implement laws that are made by parliament and interpreted by the Judiciary. Plus, they have the duty and mandate to maintain peace, law and order in the community. Therefore, courts exercise their functions when they are called upon to do so, unlike other arms of the government, they execute their responsibilities independently (Parker,2014). They have the unfettered powers to ensure…

Amber Ruffin claims that the response to police violence is more violence to the peaceful protestors and the journalists; and that the black’s lives matter. Ruffin claims that the police kneeling is a kind gesture but proposes that instead, they should stand up and make a move to help the victims of police violence. She agrees that acting in collaboration with the blacks is encouraging, but it can’t help as long as their corrupt colleagues don’t stop their poor habits. In her claim, Amber stresses that the police are not only harassing the protestors but also the innocent journalists who are playing their roles without taking sides. She puts this across using a clip in which press personnel is shot using a rubber-bullet while on air. Amber argues that people want leaders who can help, either by action or words. She states that instead of any leader, saying anything that may widen the racial rifts, they would rather keep quiet as she says, at the beginning of the video, that Joe Biden should stop talking and wait for his votes.…

Alterations in the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems. Cardiovascular and respiratory body systems are critical functional systems that the body cannot do without; thus, matters of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels should be managed appropriately. These systems have sensitive organs that make them up whole and able to function. Any alterations in these parts of the body systems will highly impact the body, thus making it function abnormally. Both the environment and our bodies contain pathogenic materials, which are opportunistic to any slight chance making vulnerable body system become slaves to their infections, causing alterations in the body. That is why, once the cardiopulmonary system and cardiovascular systems are altered, there normal functioning in the body is also altered, thus affecting an individual. Causes of shortness of breath also known as dyspnea can be caused with various conditions affecting the cardiopulmonary system, caused by a range of effects, that affect the heart, blood vessels, breathing, and also the lungs. First, for a patient to present with shortness of breath, that means, the airflow ways have been obstructed, thus making difficulties…

Allegory of the Cave vs. Douglass Narrative At first, Fredrick Douglass is shackled, therefore not being able to access knowledge, the same situation with the prisoners in the allegory of the cave. Thus, there exists a tangible similarity between the prisoners of the cave allegory and Fredrick Douglass’s narrative. Both require a sturdy bridge that will lead them to knowledge and wisdom. Bother Douglass, and the prisoner have found themselves captives and restrained from the knowledge of the world. Shadows around them dictate what they should or should not do. The prisoner in the Plato Allegory of the cave, when he finally saw the light, realized that the reality he had earlier perceived was nothing but an illusion (Brians 1998). After seeing the light, the prisoner finally admitted that the shadows on the cave did not depict any form of reality. A similar concept applies in the Douglass narrative. Being a slave, he also had limited access to the actual world. He imagined himself to be in “…mental darkness.” When at first, he was unable to read and write (Douglass…

Introduction Kitab al-mukhtar fi hisab al-jabr wal-muqabala was written by Muhammed ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, a Persian mathematician from Khwarizm. He lived in the c780 to c850 century and was also known as the Father of Algebra. Al Kitab al jabr wal- muqabala is interpreted as the Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing. On the other hand, the word Algebra is derived from Al-jabr, which is termed as the reunion. As one studies or does some calculations in school, the word logarithm is mostly used. Algorithms aids at solving equations and the word are believed to have evolved from the innovator’s name, which is ai-Khwarizmi. Al-Khwarizmi, in his work and as he came up with algebra, wanted to change from the Chinese and the Indians’ way of solving problems that were the only way that was practiced. He was then encouraged by the idea, and he came up with algebra, a mathematical solution, and language that was appreciated by his fellow mathematicians and is still embraced even in this modern times across the continent. The al KhwarizmiAlgebra is appreciated…

AITSL Professional Standard 1.4 The diversity of student identities In the 21st Century, the diversity of students has accelerated rapidly. Evidently, one of the key pillars for student’s success is enhanced through a diversity of student identities (Blessinger, Hoffman & Makhanya, 2018). Some of these identities that exist among the indigenous students are lack of values in the society, deemed lazy and primitive to have abilities like the rest, the media has shaped a negative image among the group. Lastly, teachers in various ways may unconsciously limit their expectations to the indigenous students based on stereotypes (Venegas, 2018). The other crucial factor is that there is tension in the cultural identity that revolves around built-up tension, which has continued to impact the stolen generation. Because of their timid behavior, these groups remain connected, however, they accept to be referred to as Australian. One example of a stereotype associated with indigenous communities is that they have different cultures and spiritual beliefs (Lowe, 2020). There exists a common stereotype that affects indigenous students. Often, teachers relate with their students in various ways…
