3. Did the music escalate the crisis? Was it designed to do that? Did it reach the audience that needed to hear it?
4. What do the lyrics discuss? Who’s side of the conflict does the song side with, if any? Who sings the piece?

2. The use of solitary confinement is debated. Some say it is a necessary tool for correctional facilities while others argue that it is cruel and usual punishment.

Influence of Media on Behavior
1. Since the inception of radio and television, scholars have wondered whether what we hear in the media impacts our thoughts and decision-making. Further, does it make any difference whether or not we are directly paying attention to the content? Can there be subliminal influence on each of us? The internet and social media have only exacerbated the importance of these questions as “fake news” has littered the media landscape we all use every day.
This is especially poignant when discussing violence and has recently become an issue in the media again with the tragedy of school shootings occurring regularly across the U.S. As the survivors and politicians search for answers, the question naturally arises: Do the media, video games, music, and the internet influence violent behavior?
Post
a response to the following question:
Do you think media influences violent behavior? Explain your opinion and support it with evidence from at least two credible peer-reviewed journals.
Respond
to at least one colleague by providing an argument with supporting evidence that contradicts their opinion on media and violent behavior (your supporting evidence should be different than the resources you used in your initial post).
2. There are many social media platforms out there and many more are continuing to develop. If used correctly, they can be beneficial to criminal justice professionals. If you had to choose only one social media platform (Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, etc.) that a police department should use, which one would you choose the one social media platform a police department should choose. Explain why this platform is the best for police departments to use.

Scenario
Bill is 48 years old and has repaired lawn mowers in his small shop in Fairview, Tennessee for the last eight years. He is about 30 miles from Nashville, Tennessee, and he is just 12 miles from Dickson, Tennessee. He has deliberately kept his business small to control costs and complexity. Last week, he received a bulletin from this leading tractor manufacturer that it is introducing a new model with a new computer-based monitoring system. Although he has dealt with limited applications of computer chips in these machines, this is a much more sophisticated application. He knows that several of his customers own this brand of mower and that they are likely to buy the new models. He wants to learn how to repair these computer-based monitoring systems. In the bulletin, the company announced a limited number of seminars at the manufacturing plant in Horicon, Wisconsin. It has also announced a series of Webinars and online training sessions for the new innovation. There is also a manufacturer’s service manual for the new models. Bill cannot take time off or afford to travel to the seminars.
Answer the following questions based on the scenario:
What do you think Bill should do to construct a learning plan? If he were to write one out, formally, what might it look like? How would you express his learning needs? What would his terminal performance objective look like?
What kinds of self-motivation does Bill have? Discuss ways in which Bill will apply elements of the affective domain in this learning project.
How can Bill apply the cognitive concept of metacognition and its extension, reflexivity, from constructivist theory? How do Piaget’s ideas on assimilation and accommodation apply to this example of adult learning?
What other elements or characteristics of constructivist learning theory might he apply here? How can he learn what he needs to learn as quickly and as thoroughly as possible?
Use research, and APA format to construct your response. Your paper should include a title page, abstract and reference page along with the content.
