does in the essay. Topic sentences should state the paragraph’s main idea in the
first sentence of the support paragraph. An example of a topic sentence in this
essay might be: Another contrast between the ad and the film is the portrayal of
family values. (Note how the topic sentence connects to the thesis example above.)
Topic Sentences: Hacker pgs 43-45
• Specific examples should be used in the body/support paragraph that support the
paragraph’s topic sentence.

You learned a lot about sensation and perception in this unit. With this knowledge, you are going to conduct further research on the topic of young children being exposed to TV/screens.

Start by reading the following sources:

Infants, Toddlers and Television (from The Urban Child Institute)
http://www.urbanchildinstitute.org/articles/policy-briefs/infants-toddlers-and-television
Media and Young Children’s Learning (from The Future of Children)
The section, Media and Young Children’s Learning, begins on page 39.
https://futureofchildren.princeton.edu/sites/futureofchildren/files/media/children_and_electronic_media_18_01_fulljournal.pdf
Television, Commercials, and Your Child (from Psychology Today)
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/media-spotlight/201307/television-commercials-and-your-child
Once you have read these articles and have a better sense of the issues at hand, you will create a PowerPoint presentation in which you explain (in your own words) the issues that need to be considered on this topic. Pretend that you are a psychologist giving a presentation to a group of parents of young children. What information do they need to know about this topic?

Your presentation needs to cover the following topics. Make sure that you clearly label each slide (with a title at the top of the slide) to indicate each of these topics:

The benefits of exposure to television and electronic devices to young children (should be 2-3 slides)
The drawbacks of exposure to television and electronic devices to young children (should be 2-3 slides)
The amount of exposure you recommend based on different ages of young children
3-5 guidelines for parents to know/follow
It is fine to include 1 to 3 quotes, but the majority of the writing must be in your own words and not directly copied from any other sources. Be sure to cite all of your sources on your slides using in-text citations, and include a reference slide at the end with your list of APA-formatted sources. You are encouraged to include other sources beyond the three listed here.

Please note, I am not sure if you prepare PowerPoint presentation. But if you don’t, you can break up the information that would go onto each slide in paragraph format.

you will examine the managerial style and influence that exists in order to better understand the overall operations of the organization, the direction of the organization, and how the organization is influenced by leadership. The final project will be submitted in two parts.

The literature review should contain no fewer than 10 scholarly sources. Avoid using websites such as Wikipedia. Each of the sources will be properly cited within your Part 2 paper, and at the end of the paper in the References section, they should follow APA format.

9. What ethical dilemmas has the organization faced? What ethical dilemmas may they face in the future?

It should follow APA formatting guidelines and include in-text citations from your literature review, with a minimum of 10 scholarly sources.

PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, Plaintiff

VS.

Scott Mayo, Defendant

TYPE OF CASE-Criminal

SUMMARY OF FACTS

Scott Mayo worked as a bartender at The Local Watering Hole. One night at work, Scott got into an argument with Basil Scowen. Mayo owed Scowen $1500.00. The argument heated up and, after Scowen picked up a beer bottle threateningly and appeared to be intoxicated, Mayo grabbed a pistol kept behind the bar and fired at Scowen, killing him. Mayo says Scowen told him, “I am going to kill you,” and what he believed was imminent danger from Scowen. Mayo was placed under arrest. He was not read his rights. He was transported to the local county jail. The prosecution witnesses are the police officer, who came to the scene and took statements from Mayo, and a frequent bar customer, Dawn Dietz, who witnessed some of what happened. The defense witnesses are the defendant, Mayo, and Joe, “the fireman”, who was outside and saw some of the action through the window while sitting on the patio.

Based on the facts provided to you, if you are the prosecutor, what will you charge Mayo with using your own state law? Please discuss why in your response, providing a detailed analysis of how you reach your decision on the charge(s).

Using the facts provided to you in the week one discussion forum #2, answer the following questions :

1) Did the police have probable cause to arrest Mayo?

2) Did law enforcement violate Mayo’s constitutional rights? If yes, explain how. If not, explain why.

3) Were the police required to read Mayo his Miranda rights? Discuss why.
