Note: Each response should be 3 sentences in length

Question 1.) Approach the clips you have seen from a social scientific perspective. What aspects of art therapy would interest a professional in each of the following fields?

• Psychology:

• Anthropology:

Question 2.) Use the social science perspective to propose a few explanations as to why you might find graffiti in a society. Choose a social science principle (norms, roles, institutions, and beliefs and values) and describe how these might influence the appearance of graffiti in a society. Describe how the appearance of graffiti in a society might influence the people living there?

Question 3.) Channel your thought process before taking this course, and before adopting a social science perspective. Through what type of lens would you have viewed graffiti before taking this course? How would this have influenced how you thought about graffiti? How do these two reactions compare? Has your understanding of social science principles changed the way you perceive graffiti in society? If so, how? If your perspective on a different issue (other than graffiti) has changed after adopting the social science perspective, feel free to write about this issue instead!

Question 4.) a. Who is the audience of this presentation? How do you know?

b. Why does Claudia think the audience should care?

c. What parts of the presentation are impactful? In other words, what parts of the presentation would really convince the audience that they should care?

Question 5.) Identify places in Claudia’s script that you think should be accompanied by visuals? For each place you identify, indicate what kind of information you think she should include on the slide. For example, you may think personal images are appropriate in some places, or that graphs or charts representing data may be helpful in others.

Question 6.) Choose the remaining 3 places in your presentation where you will incorporate visuals. Briefly note where you will include these visuals, and describe what will appear on the slide?

Question 7.) Complete the checklist after practicing your presentation. Identify at least three adjustments that you will make to improve the presentation based on this critical evaluation?

Question 8.) Identify opportunities that you have to speak in public and practice these presentation skills, even if not giving a formal presentation. How will using these tips help you communicate your message?

Question 9.) Consider all you’ve learned throughout this course. In your opinion, what are two of the most important concepts or skills you learned that are most relevant in your everyday life?

Question 10 needs to be one paragraph

Question 10.) Consider what you have learned about art therapy. Do you think graffiti could be considered a form of art therapy? Why or why not? Create a paragraph-(1) that addresses this question. Respond from a particular social scientific perspective (psychological, sociological, or anthropological). In your paragraph, be sure to state the perspective you have chosen.

A brief overview of, “Why do more men commit crimes than women?”

As of May 2018, 93.1 percent of federal inmates are men compared to women with a percentage of 6.9, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. A report from the U.S. Department of Justice indicates a vast majority of state prisoners are also men. This must mean many men are mostly involved in the violation of rules and laws governing society, right? Millions of jails and prisons imply that many families and communities are deprived of their male figures who are fathers, brothers, uncles, and sons (Hillin, 2016). Imperatively, men are more likely to commit crime than women because of their social roles, norms, and beliefs (Kaatz, Vogelman & Carnes, 2013). The social norms principle asserts that there is a gender-stereotype of men being associated with violence and crime. As such, young men commit a crime to show their dominance and to fit into society, especially when confronted with difficult situations. Further, a societal belief exists that some men will always be violent and crimes committed by men are more socially accepted than those executed by female perpetrators (Kaatz, Vogelman & Carnes, 2013). Again, male roles like being providers in a family may exacerbate their commission of crimes, particularly economic crimes, to sustain their families and meet societal expectations. Research has consistently shown state and federal prison populations are mostly males, but in the end, the statistics tell the story that more men commit crimes than women.
