In Unit 2, you learned about specific government artifacts, including the Constitution, the amendments to the Constitution, Acts of Congress, and Executive Orders. You also explored the processes used to create these tools that molded modern culture into what it is today.

While these artifacts may seem only like governmental paperwork, they are manifestations of a massive social change (formation of a nation) and examples of human achievement to build and empower our modern culture collectively.

For this second assignment, you will write a reaction response that could be published as a Blog to the following ‘fictional’ Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:

Amendment XXVIII

Section 1. Effective immediately, the manufacture, sale, or transportation of any wi-fi or 5G devices is hereby prohibited. This will include cell phones, tablets, watches, and laptop computers.

Notes:

The government has already shown through the 18th Amendment (alcohol prohibition) that they can restrict products bought or sold to Americans whether you enjoy using the product or not. Your task for this assignment is to argue either ‘for’ this amendment or ‘against’ it based on its impact on American culture.

To do this, consider how you use these tools to interact with others, share music, produce art, or express spiritual understanding. For some, these tools have caused a divide in human experience, and they might prefer to go back to a human-to-human experience. For others, these tools define their interests, relationships, and daily life.

Aim for 2 – 3 well-developed (5 – 8 sentence) paragraphs.

Use APA format, which includes double spacing, indented paragraphs, and in-text citations if needed.

Though this is not required, if you use source material, please be sure it is academically credible and that you validate any sources used by creating in-text citations and references in APA format.

Post 1: What Have You Learned?Given what you learned in the assigned readings/video, answer the following questions:

• Describe your impressions of the article on technology and overpopulation.  What school of thought are you most comfortable with and why; the bigger pie school, the fewer forks school, or the better manners school? 
• Briefly describe your impressions of the arcology website and video.  How does this theory deal with the issue of population?  Do any of the new projects appear to solve the problems associated with overpopulation?

 Creating an annotated bibliography is crucial as it helps you develop essential skills for analyzing and synthesizing psychological research. By evaluating and summarizing various sources, you gain a deeper understanding of diverse perspectives, theories, and empirical findings in psychology. This skill enhances your academic writing and fosters critical thinking, enabling you to assess the credibility, relevance, and implications of psychological research. Furthermore, mastering annotated bibliographies prepares you for future coursework and research projects, equipping you to effectively communicate complex psychological concepts and ideas. 

 In response to your peers, please aim for at least one paragraph that provides additional information, a different perspective, or a follow-up question related to their post. Maintain a respectful and supportive tone, acknowledging and appreciating their contributions. The goal is to engage in a collaborative learning environment, allowing everyone to explore the topic further and deepen their understanding of the subject matter. 

 

This is known, worldwide, as the Silva (Jose Silva) method and has to do with change of consciousness, specifically the deliberate alteration of brain wave frequency.

Our normal, waking, consciousness consists mainly of the beta brain wave frequency. The alteration, during a small portion of the waking hours, is mostly to Alpha. And, the reason for this alteration is to increase our knowledge of the whole reality picture, the interlocking and previously unknown facts of our existence. It is to realize the purpose of the individual. It is to connect us with other people’s minds at a deeper level. It is not, actually, just hypnosis.

It’s to get a clearer picture of our personal life, and the life of all.

What I have learned from Jose Silva is that to benefit from these teachings our main concern must be for everyone. Not for ourselves, but for everyone else. With that one benefits themselves.

#1. I first heard of Jose Silva during the 1970’s. When I learned I must pay hundreds of dollars to attend a class, I dismissed the idea of learning anything more from him.

About 2 years ago, I became curious about Jose Silva and his teachings.

Then, with far less money than in the 1970’s  I began training my mind with the audio recordings of Silva Ultramind. My life started to shift, and I had less anxiety. My luck even improved and miracles came into my life. I also had better insight into the best next decisions to make for my life.

I want to learn more about going into the Alpha state without recordings. I have been able to, but still need the recording sometimes. This will take practice.

  #2.  One topic related to consciousness that interests me would have to be the state of consciousness that leads us to dreaming. I am fascinated with dreams because of how realistic they can be. Some believe dreams have symbolic meaning, whereas others believe they relate to waking life. Scientists know that almost everyone dreams every time they sleep, and those dreams can be fascinating, exciting, terrifying, or just plain weird. Dreams are highly visual, in full color, rich in shapes, full of movement, and incorporate typical wakefulness categories such as people, faces, places, objects, and animals. Still, to this day, precisely why we dream is not known.
     This topic is essential for mental health professionals and how it could be applied in my future career because consciousness in psychology refers to awareness of internal processes like thinking, feeling, sensing, and perceiving. It can also mean the awareness of memories and your control over your behaviors. Consciousness has several biological and social purposes, and understanding different levels of consciousness can help healthcare professionals spot signs that someone might be experiencing a problem. There are also theories of consciousness.                              Additionally, The aspect of consciousness and dreaming I would want to learn more about would be why we dream and what makes us dream. It just amazes me how wild and vivid dreams can be as well as how simple and dull others can be. I really want to know what factors decide these results. 

Review the relationships between theory and research discussed in this chapter. Select a research article from an academic journal and classify the relationship between theory and research as presented in the article. Your response must be a minimum of 500 words (minimum 1 page not more than 3 pages) in an APA format with references. Remember, you are learning so do your best and do not become discouraged. You are learning research fundamentals
