The writing assignment begins with a quote from the following source:

Hinshaw, S.P. & Scheffler, R.M. (2014). The ADHD explosion: Myths, medication, money, and today’s push for performance. New York: Oxford University Press.

In sum, The New York Times’ portrayal of ADHD and ADHD medications during 2012 and 2013—especially in high-impact slots such as the Sunday Review–makes us wonder about the underlying agenda at this venerable newspaper. Derogatory and stigmatizing, laden with stereotypes and promoting outdated myths, and often scientifically inaccurate, these pieces reached wide audiences. If history is a guide, such strongly slanted accounts could alter the national dialogue. (Hinshaw & Scheffler, 2014, p. 110)

In Chapter 7, Hinshaw and Scheffler specifically mention a New York Times written by Alan Sroufe (whose name should be familiar to you as one of the early pioneers in mapping the domain of developmental psychopathology), as well as two articles by Alan Schwarz, and an article by Vatsal Thakkar, discussing the phenomenon of sleep disorders being misdiagnosed as ADHD.

Your task is as follows:

1) Find the articles from the New York Times to which Hinshaw and Scheffler are referring. Review them carefully and choose one that is of particular interest to you.
2) Identify three explicit statements or implications the author of your chosen New York Times article makes or suggests about any aspect of the reality of ADHD, its causes, diagnosis, and treatments. Explicitly quote those statements in your paper. Briefly explain what you see as the significance of those quotes (without using the word “I”). Finally, take a position on each of those strong statements. Is the statement clearly accurate or clearly inaccurate? Is it partially accurate? Is it misleading in some way. You must support your position using references to empirical evidence (research articles from peer-reviewed journals). You will be penalized in this paper for expressing opinions that are not supported by empirical evidence.
3) You are to write in a professional manner, one that mirrors the style in which your course text is written. You will also write this paper in APA format, as your course text and the assigned articles are written. All of the expectations that were outlined for the first paper remain in effect [6-8 pages (not including the title page or reference page),double-spaced, using an 11 or 12 font, with one inch margins all around, in black ink, with a header (including the running head and page number) on each page. No abstract is required], with two exceptions.
a. Your paper should have a reference list with at least 10 sources. One source will be your target New York Times article. One source can be your course text and one can be Hinshaw and Scheffler (2014). My comments in class cannot be used as a source. Your additional references must come from “refereed” journals (we will talk about this in class) and absolutely not from non-scholarly web sources. Each reference should be in proper APA format. Every citation in the text must correspond to an entry in the reference list and vice versa.
b. The grading of writing and formatting errors will be more stringent.
i. There is an appropriately titled reference page. Each in-text citation appears in the reference section. Each entry in the reference section is associated with an in-text citation. Each reference listed is in proper APA format. There are no references to non-scholarly sources, e.g., websites, other than the citation for your target New York Times article. Fewer than 5 errors = 3 points; 6-8 errors = 2 points; 9-12 errors = 1 point; 13 or more errors = 0 points.
ii. Your paper conveys the proper professional tone, as described above: 1 point.
iii. Grammar: fewer than three (3) errors = 1 point. (For purposes of this assignment use of the first person pronoun “I” will count as a style error that will be counted among your grammar errors.)
iv. Spelling: fewer than three (3) errors = 1 point.

I am doing an IB course, the work that I really want you to do for me is called Internal Assessment.We have to pick 2 variables they believe are related to each other in some way and test this using statistical analysis calculations. So IA has to answer on this question : What is the relationship between the amount of time spent using internet and your (high school teenager) amount of sleep? My investigation have to conclude a data, spreadsheets, scatter-graphs and chi-squared test, pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient, regression line etc. There are loads of Internal Assessments on the Internet so you can find them easily if you don’t know what IA means. Thank you very much and I am waiting for your help!

Analyzing a Social Policy

In this course, you have learned that social policies are formulated to solve social problems considered important by a mass of voters, media, and political actors. Social policy is but one solution to the problem—not necessarily the most rational, effective, or socially just. Social policies are human creations and, as such, can be changed. In this paper you will analyze a social policy as a tool for social justice.

Research one social welfare policy using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet.

Analyze the policy and address the following:

The social problem addressed by the policy

What is/are the problem/s to be solved in the most fundamental terms?

What is the history of the problem/s in the United States?

What are the various theories about the causes of the problem/s? Based on this, what do you think is/are the most important causes/s of the problem/s?

The policy objectives, value premises, expectation, and target populations

Policy objectives—overt and covert objectives: What are the stated objectives of the policy? In your judgment, what are the covert objectives of the policy?

What are the values underlying the policy objectives? What values are revealed by the overt and covert objectives?

What did the policymakers expect would be the result of the policy?

Target segments of the population at whom policy is aimed: Discuss the direct target of the policy in terms of size and other demographic characteristics. Who are the indirect targets of the policy?

Effects of the policy

Intended effects: What effects did the lawmakers intend?

Unintended effects: What effects did the lawmakers not foresee?

Distinguish between short-range (less than five years) and long-range (over five years) effects of the policy.

Implications of the Policy

Changes in the distribution of material resources: Are there any changes to the distribution of material resources, including income and other tangible benefits, as a result of the policy for direct or indirect target groups?

Changes in distribution of services, rights, and statuses: Are there any changes in services, rights, or statuses as a result of the policy?

Alternative Policies

What alternative policy/policies would more effectively address the social problem discussed in the policy analysis while advancing social justice?
