  • Identity shifts based on audience and context

    This is the contribution activity for this chapter. Be sure to answer every part of the assignment for maximum credit.

    On your own:

    • Write a story that makes use of various brain structures discussed in this chapter. (i.e., Shelby walked to the store using her somatic nervous system. On her way, a clown jumped out in front of her, which activated her amygdala.)
    • You will need to use at least 1 lobe, 2 subcortical structures, 1 division of the nervous system, and 2 other structures of choice. This story must be at least 8 sentences long, with each sentence including at least one of the required parts.

    On your groupmates’ posts:

    • Provide two additional sentences to each groupmate’s story containing components not included in the original story.

    Rex walked to the grocery store using his somatic nervous system to move his body.

    His frontal lobe helped him decide which way to walk.

    A sudden loud sound was sent through the thalamus to the brain.

    The noise activated his amygdala, which made him feel afraid.

    He used his hippocampus to remember that loud noises are not always dangerous.

    His cerebellum helped him stay balanced as he walked across the street.

    The autonomic nervous system increased his heart rate when he felt nervous.

    His brainstem controlled his breathing as he continued to walk.

    Mia was walking to class, and her somatic nervous system helped her move her legs as she walked down the hall.

    She used her frontal lobe to think about a test she was about to take and plan what she needed to study.

    When a loud locker slammed, her amygdala reacted quickly and made her feel startled.

    Her hypothalamus helped speed up her heart rate for a moment because of the surprise.

    As she kept walking, her cerebellum helped her keep her balance while going up the stairs.

    She looked at a poster on the wall, and her occipital lobe processed what she was seeing.

    Mia heard her friend call her name, and her temporal lobe helped her understand the sound.

    Later in class, her hippocampus helped her remember information from yesterdays lesson.

  • Legislative proposal assessment & analysis

    Legislative proposal assessment & analysis Please note that the proposed bill must address a defined social concern or issue, with a clear focus on social welfare. Social welfare policy refers to government-led initiatives, bills, laws, and programs designed to promote the basic well-being, health, and economic security of citizens, particularly those who are vulnerable, low-income, or facing specific hardships. The assignment should focus on a federal bill that aims to provide a safety net through services like healthcare, education, and housing assistance to ensure a minimum standard of living. Step 1: Complete the Legislative Proposal Assessment and Analysis Worksheet with three recommendations to a decision-maker about your public policy/law (Note: NOT a resolution which is a statement of opinion or decision and rather than a proposed policy or law).

  • Capstone project research framed within sociology

    Peer Presentations in our Senior Capstone course are designed to help you share information about your project ideas and progress with the course instructor and other students. We will conduct several Peer Presentations over the course of the semester. The 3MT format was designed by the University of Queensland in Australia to help cultivate students academic, presentation, and research communication skills. The goal of these 3MT presentations is to effectively explain your Capstone research in three minutes, in easy-to-understand language. I recommend you review this guide for preparing your presentation. Some key rules include: Three minutes in length (presentations will be timed); One single static PowerPoint slide is permitted; No slide transitions, animations or movement of any description are permitted; Your slide is to be presented from the beginning of your oration; and No additional electronic media (e.g. sound and video files) are permitted. For this first 3MT Peer Presentation, we will share our progress with the literature review and outline the topics that we plan to cover. We will also share a theoretical framework for couching our capstone project within sociology and summarize two to three scholarly sources that relate to our topic in an interesting way. Your Peer Presentation should include: An overview of the topics that you plan to include in your Literature Review A description of your theoretical framework for studying your topic A brief summary of two or three scholarly sources that relate to your capstone project Please share your PowerPoint slide with me via email at ********************** on the day prior to your presentation (by 5:00PM). Grading criteria include: The presentation slide was shared with me the day prior by 5pm The presentation slide is clearly formatted and easy-to-read Includes your name and a presentation title Not too cluttered with text (or too sparse with lots of white space) There are no misspellings or grammatical errors in the text The presentation is not too long (>3.5 min) or too short (<2.5 min) The presentation is clear and provides key points of information Includes an overview of the topics you plan to cover in your literature review A description of the theoretical framework for couching your topic within sociology A review of two or three scholarly sources that relate to your capstone project topic

  • Oral health inequities and dentistry as a public health issu…

    Essay Prompt: As a Tier-1 research institution, every day, our faculty, staff, and students work to address unanswered questions, unresolved challenges, and problems that impact a wide variety of populations. In the Honors College, you’ll have opportunities to do this sort of work — and maybe even answer questions and solve problems that matter to you. Tell us about one question, challenge, or problem that you’d like to work to better understand or address during your time. Introduce this issue, and then explain why it matters to you and why it might matter to others. Feel free to be creative – research and inquiry can exist in unlikely places.

    A. Purpose of the Essay

    This essay must demonstrate that the applicant is:

    • Research-minded
    • Curious about complex, real-world problems
    • Interested in using inquiry and interdisciplinary research to understand and address those problems

    The essay should clearly align the applicants interests with a research-focused university environment and an honors program that emphasizes inquiry, ethics, and social impact.

    B. Central Issue & Research Framing

    Core Issue (must remain central throughout):

    Oral health inequities as a public health and access issue, viewed through the lens of dentistry.

    Conceptual Research Question (do not quote directly):

    Why does oral health remain neglected and inaccessible for many populations despite its strong connection to overall health, and how can research-driven, preventive approaches address this gap?

    The essay must frame dentistry as:

    • Preventive healthcare
    • Interconnected with systemic issues (access, immigration, education, policy)
    • A valid subject of public health and social research, not just clinical practice

    C. Required Personal Case Study (Anchor Evidence)

    Context:

    The essay must include a specific, factual anecdote from a pediatric dental internship.

    Required details (must be accurate):

    • Pediatric dental office internship
    • Patient:
    • Age: 5
    • Recently immigrated from Afghanistan
    • Dental condition:
    • Multiple cavities
    • Tooth infection
    • Abscess causing discomfort
    • Immediate treatment:
    • Laughing gas used
    • Planned future treatment:
    • Extractions
    • Crowns
    • Spacers
    • General anesthesia at a later visit

    Framing rules:

    • No names or identifying details
    • No emotional exaggeration or pity
    • The child is not the problem; the system is
    • Use this moment as evidence of a larger pattern, not a standalone story

    Purpose of this anecdote:

    To show how real clinical encounters raise researchable questions about access, prevention, and health systems.

    D. Personal Motivation (How to Explain Why This Matters to Me)

    The essay should explain that this experience:

    • Changed how the applicant understands dentistry
    • Revealed how oral health outcomes depend on:
    • Timing
    • Access
    • Preventive infrastructure
    • Sparked curiosity about why care often occurs too late

    Important framing guidance:

    • Do not frame motivation as this made me want to be a dentist
    • Frame it as this made me want to understand the system behind the outcome

    E. Broader Significance (Why It Matters to Others)

    This section must clearly scale the issue beyond the individual patient.

    Include:

    • Oral healths connection to:
    • Chronic disease
    • Nutrition
    • Mental health
    • School attendance and work productivity
    • Disproportionate impact on:
    • Immigrant families
    • Low-income communities
    • Children
    • Structural issue:
    • Separation of dental care from primary healthcare systems

    This section should read like a public health problem statement, not a moral argument.

    F. Explicit Connection to a Research-Driven Academic Environment ( I will give university name after selection)

    This section is critical.

    The essay must show why a research-oriented university and honors program are well-suited to exploring this issue.

    Required elements to emphasize:

    • Commitment to solving real-world problems through research
    • Emphasis on:
    • Applied research
    • Community-engaged scholarship
    • Interdisciplinary inquiry
    • Relevance of combining:
    • Dentistry
    • Public health
    • Sociology
    • Health policy

    Honors program framing:

    The honors environment should be described as:

    • A space to ask complex, ethical questions
    • A place where research is connected to social impact
    • An environment that encourages inquiry across disciplines rather than narrow specialization

    Avoid:

    • Overpraising prestige
    • Listing specific faculty or labs unless required
    • Claiming guaranteed solutions

    Correct framing:

    The applicant seeks the institution not for ready-made answers, but for the tools to investigate the problem responsibly through research.

    G. Structure Checklist (Must Follow)

    Paragraph 1 Introduce oral health as a neglected but essential health issue

    Paragraph 2 Internship case study as the moment that raised the question

    Paragraph 3 Expansion to systemic and public health implications

    Paragraph 4 Why a research-driven honors environment is the right place to explore this issue

    H. Tone, Style, and Constraints

    • Length: ~500 or less
    • Tone: Analytical, reflective, grounded
    • Language level: First-year undergraduate honors (not graduate-level, not casual)

    Avoid:

    • Buzzwords
    • Overly complex sentences
    • I will fix or I will solve claims

    Preferred verbs:

    • Explore
    • Examine
    • Investigate
    • Understand
    • Question

    I. Final Outcome Goal

    By the end of the essay, the reader should clearly understand that the applicant:

    • Thinks critically about dentistry as a research and equity issue
    • Understands oral health as part of broader healthcare systems
    • Is motivated by curiosity and social responsibility
    • Is well aligned with a research-focused honors programs values

  • Progressivism Essay

    Write a 350-500 word essay that describes the components of Progressivism, highlights city and state-level reforms, and analyzes the Supreme Court case Lochner v. New York. Use Revel sections 22.1 and 22.2 as resources to help you prepare for this assignment. In your essay, you must include: An explanation of at least one reform accomplished during the Progressive Era. A thoughtful response to whether a Progressive at the time might feel discouraged or motivated to continue reforms, based on Lochner v. New York. Be sure to use MLA formatting for your essay and to cite any information used from your textbook. Refer to the Support Materials for help. Begin by opening a new Word document. Then, follow this outline for creating your response: Introduction Use your introduction to provide a brief overview of the Progressive Era (1890s1920s) and set the tone of your essay. Be sure to include a thesis statement summarizing the main components you will discuss (muckraking journalism, art movements, reforms, and the Lochner v. New York case). Body Paragraph 1: The Components of Progressivism Describe and define key components of Progressivism, answering the following questions as a part of your paragraph: Muckraking Journalism: Who were the muckrakers, and what were their goals? How did they contribute to reform? The Ashcan School of Art: What was this art movement, and how did it reflect or inspire Progressive ideals? Body Paragraph 2: City and State Reforms Explain reforms at both the city and state levels, referencing Revel 22.2. Provide one specific example of a reform at the city level. What was reformed? What impact did it have? Provide one specific example of a reform at the state level. What was reformed? What impact did it have? Body Paragraph 3: Supreme Court Case: Lochner v. New York Analyze this landmark case using Revel 22.2.3. Address the following: Detail both sides of the argument: What were the main points made by each side? What was the Supreme Courts decision, and how did it impact labor laws and workers rights at the time? How did it impact citizens? Discuss whether the case is still relevant today. Reflect as a hypothetical Progressive: If you were a Progressive back then, would you have been discouraged by the outcome? Would you have wanted to continue promoting workplace reform? Why? Why not? Conclusion For your conclusion, please summarize how Progressivism addressed what was occurring in society and the workplace at the time (in other words, briefly summarize the key points of your essay.) Then, make any final comments and conclude your essay.
