Professor's post: Class,
This reality that more older white folks vote than other groups is reflected in this ad that aired in the run up to the 2018 midterm elections:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0e9guhV35o

This ad clearly links this reality to the strength of the Republican party, and specifically Trump's victory in 2016. Is there a link here?  Do these folks tend to vote Republican, and if so how come?  Did that change at all in 2018, and if so how come? Some pertninent topics from your text may include demagoguery (Magstadt, 372) and political socialization (Magstadt, 299).

      Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders

       Assignment: Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders The  DSM-5-TR  is a diagnostic tool. It has evolved over the decades, as have the classifications and criteria within its pages. It is used not just for diagnosis, however, but also for billing, access to services, and legal cases. Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the  DSM-5-TR , and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose. There is also controversy in the field over the legitimacy of certain dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder, which was formerly called multiple personality disorder. In this Assignment, you will examine the controversy surrounding dissociative disorders. You will also explore clinical, ethical, and legal considerations pertinent to working with patients with these disorders.
