There are so many ways to use Applied Behavior Analysis. To name a few, working with individuals with autism and developmental disabilities, OBM, ACT, and even sustainability. Dr. William Heward presented Behavior Change for a Sustainable World to the Capella Society of ABA. Please watch the recording, linked in the Resources. Then, answer the following:

• How can you disseminate our science to promote application in sustainability?
• Share ideas on how you can make use ABA to have a positive impact on society.

Many of the artists you are listening to this week were influenced by jazz. This was a departure of sorts from some of the other musical reference points of other hip-hop artists. Discuss a contemporary artist (in any genre) who you think has been influenced by what might be considered an unusual source of inspiration (an example may be a country artist who is influenced by classical music).  Describe—in an original post of 200 words minimum—the influence in the particular artist you choose. If possible, include a link to a song by your chosen artists that exemplifies the influence you describe.

In this unit, you read Carr, Newsom, and Binkoff ‘s 1980 article, “Escape As a Factor in the Aggressive Behavior of Two Retarded Children,” which shows the effect of a teacher’s demands on Bob’s aggressive behavior, as well as on another student named Sam. Figure 1 in the journal article provides the ABAB graphs for both Bob and Sam. For this discussion:

• Compare and contrast these two graphs in terms of baseline and treatment phases. Include a description of the type of baselines (for example, stable, ascending, descending, or variable) that were obtained for each child.
• State your conclusion about the baselines presented.
• Provide recommendations about improving the design, if appropriate.

OPTION ONE:

Find 2-3 scholarly articles discussing the Octavia Butler novel, Parable of the Sower. Consider the assertions or claims of each of the scholarly articles, and then try to identify areas in which the scholars agree and disagree with one another. Finally, pick a side (or, come up with a new side or position) and then write a paper discussing the novel (and its author), the scholarly articles, and your position.

OPTION TWO:

Compare the Octavia Butler novel, Parable of the Sower, to a book, film, or TV show from the past decade. Discuss the various ways in which both Butler’s novel and the artifact you chose reinforce some existing cultural values and question or subvert others. What similarities do the two artifacts share in how they critique social values? How do they differ? Discuss the significance and relevance of both artifacts to our current times.

Requirements:

• 2000 words in length
• 2-3 scholarly sources
• Proper MLA style (including in-text citations and Works Cited page)
