1 / 4 Professional identity and public responsibilities of a midwife A midwives role centers on a relationship with the woman that is distinguished by “each woman’s social, emotional, physical, spiritual and cultural needs, expectations and context as defined by the woman herself” (Australian College of Midwives [ACM], 2016a). ACM (2015, p.1) position the midwife as the primary profession for quality maternity care founded during training, through the direction of the Code of professional…

Not so long ago, I was in desperation to find myself a new career, which would lead me to satisfaction with what I am doing for a living. However, soon I realised with a support of my family and friends, who know me and my abilities so well that a role of a midwife would be the most quintessential answer to all my needs. I based my decision not only on a fact that I have been always appreciated an interaction and helping others but also on my fascination with foetal development, physiology of…

classes. Most characteristics in ancient Greece have been aptly credited and honored, but some negative aspects have been idealized or overlooked. The United State government built its foundation using many components from Grecian governments of antiquity, especially Athens’. The democratic system in Athens allowed for all male citizens to contribute to the government. This gave the middle and lower classes more influence, instead of the upper class…

Classical Conditioning is a type of learning that pairs a stimulus that would cause a predictable reaction with a stimulus that causes a neutral reaction, in the hopes that the neutral stimulus with invoke the response of the previous stimulus. The unconditioned stimulus will cause the unconditioned response without any need to condition it. The unconditioned stimulus will always produce the unconditioned response. The neutral stimulus will have a neutral reaction. This is crucial, seeing as how…

My client has suffered the last four years of her life, with a horrible smoking problem. This problem interferes with all that she does. She cannot work, because it causes her to smoke. She’d rather be in her house, watching some TV, where she has the option to smoke at any time. My client has no past of smoking, or any other drug use. She is the only one around with a problem like this. Smoking causes people to not only have bad coughs, but it causes lung cancer, and many other kinds of cancers…

associative learning, which occurs when an organism makes a connection between two events. Within associative learning, there is classical conditioning, which occurs when an organism learns the association between two stimuli. Classically conditioned organisms are able to anticipate events they have been trained to expect as a result of other occurrences. Specifically, classical conditioning is the learning process in which a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an innately meaningful…

it involves killing, vandalism, theft (belongings and auto), and the beating of rival gang members. Gang violence is very prevalent in communities with low income. The two theorists I have chosen are B.F Skinner (conditioning) John B Watson’s (Classical Conditioning) and Robert K. Merton 's (Anomie Theory). According to B.F Skinner, the study of behaviorism is simply observing what people do. John B. Watson was most famous for his experiments with Little Albert. In terms of conditioning, John…

I’ve got a god awful habit that I just can’t seem to shake. In my family, nail biting could be considered hereditary. Everyone in my family bites their nails, even my 4 year old cousin Elias has been plagued with this monster, and for reasons that were unknown until this assignment came up. As a child, my mother was always so hypocritical of me biting my nails, always claiming that I was going to have a huge ball of nails in my stomach. Being a easily fascinated child, her words had the opposite…

In this experiment the main goal is to examine the correlation between position, velocity, time, and acceleration of objects, moving in one or two dimensions. Each and every experiment will be conducted under different conditions. For example, the first experiment requires a constant force (gravity) to act on the object, the picket fence. This experiments other condition is that we neglect friction. This object should be in nearly ideally circumstances. In the second experiment, the conditions…

This week I wanted to talk a little more about Pavlov. I find Pavlov and his research very interesting, and I find it even more interesting that people only think of Pavlov for his theories of conditioning. There are many more things that make up Pavlov’s contribution to psychology, including other psychologists that we would not even know about without Pavlov. This topic fits into this class because the entire section of 3.2 is about Pavlov. I am hoping that this will bring up some new…
