Compare the results shown to you by EXIF Viewer with the EXIF data reported by your operating system (e.g., Windows 10, MACOS, etc.; right-click each photo and view the properties – may need to choose the “Details” tab).

Use a digital camera, or even your cell phone, to take at least five (5) digital photographs. Download the photos to your computer, and use an EXIF Viewer tool (such as the one that can be downloaded for free here: http://www.exifdataviewer.com/ or viewed online without downloading at https://exifdata.com/ ) to examine the EXIF data for each picture. Compare the results shown to you by EXIF Viewer with the EXIF data reported by your operating system (e.g., Windows 10, MACOS, etc.; right-click each photo and view the properties – may need to choose the “Details” tab). Are there any differences? Which method provided more information? Paste the photos into a Word document followed by a list of each photo’s EXIF data, and explain to your instructor how this EXIF data contained within a digital photograph could be used in an criminal investigation.

Congratulations! You have been appointed an economic policy advisor to the United States. You are told that the economy is significantly below its potential output and that the following will happen next year: World income will fall significantly and the price of oil will rise significantly, and the U.S. is an oil importer. a) What kind of policies (under Fiscal policy) might you suggest to the government? Mention three. b) Consider the economic principle held by Classical economists: The economy always returns to its potential in the long run. What are Keynes’s criticisms of this economic principle? Use as many economic principles (from the textbook and other sources) as you can in answering the questions. As a guideline, each of the 10 points will be derived from the following: Post your answer  to the posted DQ responding to the matter asked, instead of repeating the question or not attending to the question. Substantive answers include making comments using concepts found in the assigned reading materials or offering examples from your experience. Hence merely providing a brief “yes, I agree” or “no, I do not agree” postings are not adequate posts Write in correct grammar; any errors will translate to a deduction in points. Check for the spelling; any errors will deduct points. Your responses must be substantive that include your own thoughts, supported with research (at least two external sources other than textbook, and you must quote these sources). You get one point when you respond to one of your classmates’ posts, also with substantive comments. One more point when you respond to another classmate’s post. One point for collaboration. It is intended that your involvement in discussions be of a collaborative nature. Collaboration spirit is quite different from confrontation. Deadline: due date for each DQ will be on Monday night 11.55pm, but you are free to make your comments prior to Monday night. One point will be deducted for each day of late submission. Creativity: offer a creative solutions or ideas or impact on other fields, in addition to the obvious socio-economic impacts of each topic. Offer a future recommendation or alternative options for the future with regard to the topic in question.

Define and explain the traits of Negative Psychology and Positive Psychology through the lens of scientific literature.

Referring to this session’s reading and viewing assignments, write a 3-4 page paper using the following questions to guide you: Define and explain the traits of Negative Psychology and Positive Psychology through the lens of scientific literature.

Explain how your behavior may be impacted as a result of learning about the role of Christians in Psychology. Within your concluding paragraph, construct and include a one-two sentence motto to summarize your philosophy about integrating positive and transformational psychology. You may relate this motto to your selected career path.

Example: “I want to transform the hearts and minds of those I serve in my teaching career. I want to empower students to embrace their spiritual gifts and impact others for the Kingdom of God as a part of their life journey.” As a college professor, this statement is a great testimony as to how Believers can impact many people over the course of a lifetime.
