Discussion for Masters and Anderson
pls, read the passages provided and answer the questions in sandwich form. and pls provide the page number for the 2 passages you find that support your answer to each question.
1. Edgar Lee Masters’s poems are very short, yet they seem to capture the essence of a character’s entire life within a few short lines. His poetry is considered modernist for its economic use of one or two key images that are symbolic of a character’s personality. What are the key images or lines in each poem and what do they symbolize in each character’s personality or life?
2. There are many ways to read Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg, Ohio (of which “Hands” is a famous chapter) as a great work of modernist fiction. One way is to examine Anderson’s modernist theme: characters grasping to understand the loss or emptiness within their own lives. Anderson also uses a modernist conception of psychology in which characters are not fully aware why they are angry or depressed. Critic Rex Burbank states that “[t]he loneliness of [Anderson’s characters] expresses itself as a vague hunger which many of them do not understand and therefore cannot satisfy. [. . . T]he hunger is for meaningful communication[.]”
In “Hands,” how does Wing Biddlebaum express his vague hunger for communication? Find 2 passages to support your answer.
3. In “Adventure,” Alice Hindman desires a relationship, yet does things that express a fear of having a relationship. Find two passages, one that shows her desire for a relationship, the other that shows her sabotaging herself from having one.

Ronald Reagan, the 40th president of the United States, has been described as having had a very engaging personality. Even people who disagreed with his policies, found themselves drawn to his attractive and carefully honed public image. Surrounded by tough, energetic administrators who insulated him from many of the pressures of the office, he seemed to offer general guidance but not make specific decisions. His presidency was also mired in a series of scandals, but the most damaging was the Iran-contra scandal. After a series of investigations and congressional hearings, the White House conceded that it had sold weapons to the revolutionary government in Iran, and used some of the money to illegally aid the Contras in Nicaragua. This was in direct violation of the Boland Amendment.

“This has been such a tragedy; I don’t even know where to begin to help this survivor!”
As a helping professional, you may have thoughts similar to these as you begin to work with survivors of critical incidents. How do you determine what to do? What informs your choices? Theories and response models are a place to begin. Thus, the focus of this week is to analyze response models and apply theories of cognitive, social, and emotional responses to critical incidents so that you have a theoretical and practical starting point from which to help survivors.

Understanding crisis and crisis intervention theory is vital to skill acquisition for responders and increases their ability to provide effective responses to survivors. There are three levels of crisis intervention theories. The first and most basic level focuses on correcting temporary affective, behavioral, and cognitive distortions caused by critical incidents. The second, or expanded level, addresses the same components as basic crisis theory and also includes the social, environmental, and situational factors that foster a critical incident. The third, or applied, level encompasses four domains: developmental, situational, existential, and ecosystemic (James & Gilliland, 2013). An understanding of these theories allows you as a practitioner to apply the most appropriate theory when working with a survivor of a critical incident. When choosing a theory, it is important to understand that you do not have to be a purist (i.e., adopt only one theory). In fact, many professionals believe it is important to have a working knowledge of many theories so as to adapt to the needs of the client by pulling from several theories when appropriate.
For this Discussion, select one critical incident from the news that is of interest to you (this critical incident may be from the past or present). Select one theory to apply to this critical incident.
Post a brief description of the critical incident and the theory you selected. Then, explain how you might apply the theory to the individual(s) affected by the critical incident.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the resources.

Quantitative Methods: Analyzing Quantitative Data
“Cellphone Cancer Warning: Possible Link to Brain Tumors Cited in Expert Panel’s Review of Past Studies”: This headline appeared on June 1, 2011, in the Wall Street Journal. News agencies began reporting that cell phones can cause certain types of brain cancer before the research study was published. When reviewing the actual study, Stats.org—an organization based out of George Mason University—found that the authors of the research study actually cautioned against a causal interpretation of the study results.
In order to make accurate, straightforward interpretations and reports, researchers should perform careful statistical analyses of the data and variables in their studies. Otherwise, they run the risk of making inappropriate assumptions and generating incorrect conclusions. This week, you begin to develop a foundational knowledge of statistics and the vital role that it plays in research and problem solving. Over the next several weeks, you will complete statistics exercises using SPSS. The knowledge of statistics that is promoted through your work on these exercises will enable you to better contextualize and interpret health care data and its application to evidence-based practice.
This week provides an introduction to descriptive statistics, which can be useful in analyzing data and drawing conclusions about the sample from which that data was taken. You also examine confidence intervals, frequency distributions, and the levels of measurement.
