Overview
Many elderly people tend to spend most of their day sitting or lying down. This makes them the most inactive age group. According to activity theory, senior citizens are better adjusted when they are more active and involved in social activities.
Instructions
As we get older in late adulthood, it is important for us to remain active in order to stay healthy and independent. Do the following steps to complete this activity:
Step 1
Research online to find out the various activities that are available for the elderly in their community to stay active.
Step 2
List five activities and discuss the benefits that each may have in the areas of the social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development of late adulthood.
Your answer should be between 300–350 words in length. Provide evidence based on information found in this module or from any other relevant sources. When writing your responses make sure to follow APA (7th ed.) formatting guidelines where appropriate.

Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing well, happy Halloween!
The concept of Mistakes of facts would be the belief that you did not know you were doing something wrong, that it was an honest mistake that anyone could make. It goes against the need to have Mens Reas because there is no actual intent towards wanting to commit harm itself. To me, a good example is let’s say you go to a park after you have driven your brand new car to said park. While over there another brand new vehicle exactly like yours, color and all parks a few stalls next to you. When you come back from the other side you see that car and attempt to get in and struggle when the car won’t open. Other people and the owner of that vehicle call the police and now you must prove in court that it is a mistake of fact. You simply thought it was your vehicle and were trying to get in, if you had known it was not your vehicle then you would have never attempted to get in.
Moral wrong doctrine is the principle that states that even though they were wrong about the fact they were not justified morally. The moral wrong doctrine goes hand in hand with the mistakes of the facts ensuring that people take responsibility for their actions regardless of lack of intent. It is to ensure that there is no lack of responsibility for the crime being committed. This would push that the actor should have known better than to continue to struggle to open the car. That they should have known something was wrong and it was not their car and would be stolen property. The moral doctrine would be basically how people are supposed to conduct with one another ethically. The moral doctrine in turn would still punish as the actor should have known that stealing is morally wrong and that they should have known better.
The video we watch is very intriguing and it brings up valid issues when it comes to moral wrongs and illegals. Everything is different everywhere based on different moral backgrounds and different ethics and belief systems that are all unique and all ideas are validated. Not all beliefs are the same in one place and can be illegal in another such as labor, we go against child labor and find it legally and morally wrong but other countries might deem it normal. We are against harsh and unusual punishment while in other countries the weirder and harsher the better. Child brides are illegal here but okay everywhere else, eating pigs and cows is okay here but not in other countries as deemed morally wrong. Just because it is ethical to us does not make it morally right. I do hope my examples are on the dot as this is what I believe the video was trying to show the differences in between what is illegal and morally wrong/right depending on who is who and what is what.

Chapter 12 Discussion
After reading the chapter, the notes and watching the video titled Moral Psychology, answer the following:
Discuss how the concept of Mistakes of Fact play into the Moral-Wrong Doctrine and give an example of this type of scenario that was not already given in the chapter.Be sure to take into consideration the questions presented in the last paragraph of Slide 2 of the PowerPoint.
Discuss how the video relates to the fact that certain acts or behaviors are illegal in some communities or cultures, while in others, it may just be viewed as immoral.
Your original post must be 3 full paragraphs. Paragraphs consist of 5 full sentences.

Make sure to read my comment on your hypothesis (w7L2) before doing this assignment.
W7L2: Hypothesis and Justification
Hypothesis:
it was said that the Whites would approve the use of force against a citizen attempting to escape from police custody than the Blacks or any other colored persons.
Justification:
It proposes knowledge from past studies on how Blacks’ perceptions of policing are different from those of Whites. White Americans are more supportive of police officers’s use of force in crime and punishment scenarios than blacks, as they are less likely to be victims of police brutality (Zare, 2024). Black Americans and other ethnic minorities experience a different form of police interaction, which is negative, leading to low approval of aggressive cop conduct such as the application of force on escapees (Dunbar et al., 2024). Based on such patterns, it will be expected and hypothesized that race plays a huge role in respondents’ perception and approval ratings on police actions, with White respondents approving the actions more.

Chapter 10: Power, Race and Gender

Do we as a society hold some responsibilities as to how African Americans are viewed and treated in society.
Give examples.
500 words minimum

Find a current event that relates to chapters 8, 9, or 10. Briefly summarize the current event and how it relates to what you have learned in chapters 8, 9, or 10. You may choose something related to politics, celebrities, local news, etc. but whatever it is make sure that it is not a conspiracy theory, comes from a legitimate site, and that the event can be verified. You may cover a conspiracy theory if you are debunking that conspiracy theory and explaining how it contributes to social problems. You also need to come up with a solution for the problem you have chosen. How do you think this social problem should be solved from a sociological/structural perspective? Saying something like “people should get financial literacy” is not an acceptable solution as that puts the onus on the individual rather than society, which created the problem. This should be a minimum of 2 pages double-spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch margins.
