In M1: Assignment 2, you identified and explained the weakest or strongest argument in a set of articles. You identified the premises and conclusions, discussed whether or not an inference was warranted, and discussed matters of truth and consistency within the specified subject.
Review your work in M1: Assignment 2 where you analyzed the sets of articles assigned to you.
Using these articles, complete the following:

Provide your position on the issue in the articles assigned to you.
State and explain a key objection to your position on this issue.
Despite the objection, develop a counterargument to defend your position. (This will likely be an “engulf-and-devour” argument.)

You may use the M1: Assignment 2 readings as sources for evidence and facts. Be sure to do the following:

Use additional references to support your arguments and provide evidence as needed.
Use key language and phrases suggested in your readings.
Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Write your initial response in 200–300 words. Be sure to reply to at least two of your classmates using at least 75 w
Please make sure you create a counter argument to the argument you posted in module one. Please make sure you read the lecture on how to create a counter argument.
It is always important to be able to look at an issue from several different sides.  The foundation of critical thinking is to look at both sides of the issues and then make a decision based on values and social considerations. Please articulate the counter argument and then let me know why you chose one side or the other.  You might want to consider one of the highest values by which you make decisions.I look forward to your thoughts on how you will incorporate the various elements from the lecture. This would be the elements on how to construct a counter argument.   Please include some detailing on the counter argument strategy of “engulf and devour.”Please let me know how you are doing this and I look forward to your work.

Thermoregulation
A Negative Feedback Loop or Negative Feedback Mechanism is our body’s response to maintain homeostasis – the relatively constant condition of our internal environment. When the body is exposed to heat, for example, it will signal the hypothalamus to control the sympathetic nervous system to promote vasodilation thus making the body sweat. Sweating will then create a cooling response thus lowering down the body temperature signalling back the hypothalamus to promote vasoconstriction. In this way, the body’s normal core temperature (which ranges from 36.5°C to 37.5°C) is maintained.

Psychopharmacology Research Paper
Use the concepts learned in the text to develop an area of interest and conduct a basic review of the literature related to that topic.
My topic is: The Impact of Psychoactive Medication on School-aged Children
The assignment is due June 21, 2017 at 12:00 noon
This assignment is research focused, and must be presented in APA 6th Edition format. Your paper must encompass 5 pages, not counting the APA formatted title page and reference page. You must cite at least 5 references within the body of your paper. Those references MUST come from peer-reviewed publications such as journals. Failure to meet APA guidelines regarding format, or failure to include the required number of peer reviewed sources will result in a reduction of your grade.

Discussion: Religious Authority
Just about every world religion has an authority figure that presides over the religious institution and interprets and oversees the doctrine. In Christianity, for example, the structure of the religion’s institution has shifted over time and is currently rigidly centralized in some sects while decentralized in others. The related role of religious authority has been particularly contentious and has shifted as the institution itself changed over the centuries. Today, many Christian sects have split from others because of conflicting beliefs in who has authority. In this Discussion, you will compare religious authority and attendant institutions of two religions you have studied in the week’s readings.
To prepare for this Discussion:
1.    Review your course text’s selected readings for this week.
2.    Choose two religious traditions to compare. Be sure one of the traditions is the tradition you selected to focus on in your Final Project.
3.    Consider these questions:
o    Who is in charge?
o    Who is allowed a say in religious actions?
o    Are the religions deeply centralized? Loosely hierarchical?
o    How does a culture evolve and change if religious institutions govern the values and practices of the culture?
Post a paragraph of your evaluation of religious authority and power in the two religions you chose. In a second paragraph, discuss the idea that if a higher power confers authority and shapes the religious institution, how does this influence the culture that practices the religion? Can people change values in the culture if the religion originally sets the precedence? Support your assertions by making at least 2 references, in proper APA format, to your course readings.
Be sure to support your ideas by connecting them to the week’s Learning Resources or something you have read, heard, seen, or experienced.
