Please revise both two papers, the pages that still need revision. The original paper has notes from the professor to be revised. These revisions were made, but in some cases still are not good. I already submitted the written and will indicate where it still needs revision, including checking if the references throughout the paper are about what it is written.
ALSO, the two papers will need to be summarized and presented in 15 minutes (like a script). I already have a 10 slides PowerPoint that will need to be revised based on the final revisions
Section 3 writing was based on this questions by the professor: In higher education, J-1 scholars can play crucial roles in research and practice. Based on existing relevant literature , explore and describe the nature of J-1 scholars and J-1 programs in the United States to the following questions :
a. How can the value of J-1 scholars be described to academic departments that see international undergraduates as revenue generators and J-1 scholars as a financial investment?
b. Does the Carnegie classification of a university drive the number of J1 scholars invited to campus ?
Section 2: Learning in Universities and Adult Education was based on this information by the professor
This section of your PhD comprehensive paper deals with theories, concepts, and practices in learning in universities and adult education.
Based km what you learned in those program courses (check the syllabi$ and on your own knowledge of the literature, respond to the following questions:
1. What are the challenges that graduate students face in American universities?
– Do the challenges faced tend to vary by based on national origin (i.e., American vs. international student in America), age, level of graduate study (i.e., master’s vs. doctoral), gender, race, ethnicity, or other demographics?
– How are these challenges similar to an different from those of undergraduate students?
2. How do graduate students succeed through these challenges?
– Do the ways that students succeed through the challenges differ by origin (i.e., American vs. international student in America), age, level of graduate study (i.e., master’s cá. doctoral), gender, race, ethnicity, or other demographics?
3. Do some graduate students fail to succeed through these challenges?
– What seems to explain the lack of success?
– Do the demographic differences noted above seem to be relevant in this lack of success?
4. Do student attitudes toward challenges and their responses to the challenges appear to be important in whether the student succeeds through the challenges? Please explain.

**Title: Sensation and Perception: The Influence of Sensationalism on Information Processing**
**Author: [Your Name]**
**PSY 101**
**Glendale Community College**
In the realm of psychology, the processes of sensation and perception play crucial roles in how individuals interpret and respond to the vast array of information presented to them. This paper delves into the impact of sensationalism on sensation and perception, exploring how sensational content affects cognitive processes and shapes individuals’ understanding of reality. Drawing upon scholarly research and psychological theories, this paper argues that sensationalism can distort perception and influence decision-making, highlighting the implications of sensational information consumption in modern society.
Sensationalism, characterized by the deliberate use of provocative or shocking elements to attract attention, has become pervasive across various forms of media, including news, entertainment, and advertising. This phenomenon is closely linked to the concepts of sensation and perception in psychology, as it directly influences the initial reception and subsequent processing of information by individuals (Nadarevic et al., 2020).
The initial stage of sensation involves the detection of stimuli through sensory organs, such as sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. Sensational content often exploits these sensory channels by presenting information in a dramatic or emotionally charged manner, triggering heightened physiological and emotional responses (Pennycook et al., 2018). For instance, headlines and news stories designed to evoke fear, outrage, or curiosity can elicit strong sensory reactions, capturing individuals’ attention and intensifying their perceptual experiences.
Perception, on the other hand, encompasses the organization, interpretation, and understanding of sensory information. Sensationalism can significantly impact perception by influencing cognitive processes, such as attention, memory, and judgment (Pennycook et al., 2018). Research by Pennycook et al. (2018) demonstrates that repeated exposure to sensationalized content can enhance its perceived accuracy, leading individuals to internalize and accept sensational claims as factual, even in the absence of corroborating evidence.
The consequences of sensationalism on perception extend beyond individual cognitive processes to societal attitudes and behaviors. Sensational content, particularly in news media, has been associated with increased polarization, misinformation, and sensationalization of public discourse (Cinelli et al., 2021). The echo chamber effect, characterized by the reinforcement of existing beliefs and the exclusion of dissenting perspectives, further exacerbates the impact of sensationalism by limiting exposure to diverse viewpoints (Cinelli et al., 2021).
In light of these observations, it is essential to consider the implications of sensationalism on information processing and decision-making. The proliferation of sensational content in digital media underscores the need for media literacy and critical thinking skills among individuals. By cultivating awareness of sensational tactics and their effects on perception, individuals can develop resilience against misinformation and make informed judgments based on evidence and rational analysis (Calvillo & Smelter, 2020).
In conclusion, the study of sensation and perception offers valuable insights into the psychological mechanisms underlying the influence of sensationalism on information processing. Sensational content has a profound impact on how individuals perceive and interpret the world around them, shaping beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors in significant ways. By acknowledging the cognitive biases associated with sensationalism and promoting media literacy, society can navigate the complexities of modern media environments with greater discernment and resilience against manipulative tactics.

INTRODUCTION
The courts require the expert testimony of a psychiatrist or psychologist to render an opinion as to whether an individual meets the statutory requirement to be committed under sexually violent predator laws. Psychologists form an opinion by relying on actuarial instruments, such as the Static-99R. Although actuarial measures are the best tools available, their predictive rates are not much better than the flip of a coin. The statistical science needed to make better instruments does not exist because the base rate of reoffenders is relatively low. Due to this, should a psychologist or a mental health professional participate in the civil commitment of an individual knowing that the science is so poor? Would offering an opinion be an ethical violation? If not, how is it justified?
This week, you will evaluate the ethical considerations for civil commitment and analyze whether sexual predators are curable.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Students will:
Evaluate ethical considerations for civil commitment for sex offenders
Analyze whether sexual predators are curable
Ethical Considerations in Civil Commitment
Civil commitment is used to protect oneself or others from someone who is suffering some form of mental disease or disorder. Civil commitment since the early 1990s has been used to institutionalize sexually violent people and justified as necessary to protect the public. Kansas v. Hendricks (1997) was a ruling that decided that the civil commitment of a sex offender was not double jeopardy if the intent was to provide treatment for the offender. The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 greatly accelerated the rate of civil commitments. Confinement is based upon psychological science, which is weak. Moose Lake Lodge, the SVP treatment center for the state of Minnesota, was sued in 2014, facing allegations that the state violated the civil liberties of those individuals committed into Moose Lake Lodge. The federal court found that the state was, in fact, violating detainees’ civil liberties and ordered immediate remediation.
In this Discussion, you will be assigned a position to argue, pro or con, to the statement “Civil commitment is ethical, as sexual predators are incurable.”
Note: By Day 5 of Week 10, your Instructor will assign you a position of pro or con to debate in this Discussion.
