Answer preview

The Triangle of Boundaries comprises three essential realities that have been existence since the beginning of time. They include freedom, responsibility, and love (Cloud and Townsend, 2013). At the beginning of time, God granted all living things freedom, such as human beings’ ability to engage in decision-making independently. It allows people to exercise their freedom from God based on their preferences which require setting boundaries. Without boundaries that define limits, an individual can’t experience freedom fully. It is because they can become slaves to others through marriage or relationships. Responsibility is another reality and triangle of boundary that has been in existence since creation. Boundaries define the possibility of people to decide when they can take responsibility. Limits also allows them to defy specific responsibilities by differentiating their duties and influencing change through actions. Another essential reality is love. The decision to set boundaries in relationships will enable one to experience love. It creates a suitable environment in which other realities of responsibility and freedom can exist. Love is an intense feeling because it grants people freedom from captivity and hurtful towards others. Love also creates a sense of responsibility in terms of the actions taken for oneself and others.

Answer preview

After the accident, as per its mandate, the National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB) commenced an investigation to ascertain the possible causes of the crash involving American Airlines Flight 587. According to the NTSB, the high-level stress placed on the plane’s rudder, due to the first officer’s “unnecessary and excessive” rudder inputs, rather than the wake turbulence, led to the crash (Young et al., 2005). Prior to taking off at John F. Kennedy International Airport, a Japan Airlines Boeing 747 took off on the same runway as Flight 587, and as such, flew into the plane’s wake, which then created a section of turbulent air. Upon noticing this, the first officer tried to stabilize the plane to keep it upright by inputting a couple of aggressive rudder inputs.

Environmental Policy/Programs that address this Scarce Resource Issue

According to Huffman et al. (2018), the federal government’s various departments, such as the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), offer funding programs to address the scarcity issue. For instance, the Betterment Loan Program under the Virginia Code § 32.1-164.1:2 is an organized initiative that funds the establishment and reinstallation of failing onsite systems (Huffman et al., 2018). The importance of this program is enabling the board of health to identify legit lenders to offer betterment loans, allowing community members to repair, replace, or upgrade failing systems. The funding program’s scope and objective focus on reducing public health threats, ground and surface waters, and reducing nitrogen discharges (Huffman et al., 2018). As mentioned, the key stakeholders are the board members of VHD health and homeowners responsible for obtaining loans from the identified lenders.

  1. You don’t have to think too hard or look too long to realize that no matter the culture, there is an abundance of social issues present. It is important to understand the social issues people face and realize there may be cultural differences. Sometimes it’s not apparent what is impacting individuals because their background may be unknown at the time of your encounter. It’s likely the social issue has affected their psychology. It is wise to take time to understand the whole person, including the social issues that have influenced them. Research a social issue that has an impact on diverse populations.

The second population that is affected by this inequality is the young adult. Studies carried out in Australia indicate that out of 3 young girls over 15 years, one has been a victim of gender violence (Webster, Diemer, Honey, Mannix, Mickle, Morgan & Ward, 2018). This observation is because it is an accepted stereotype that girls are weaker than boys, thus resulting in some of the boys taking advantage. This male chauvinism has resulted in a decrease in girls who involve themselves in active sports in school (Reay, 2018). Therefore, this gender inequality affects young adults’ ambitions, attitudes, behaviors, and even relationships.

The 1st Amendment

Instructions:

Is the first amendment absolute? After considering this question, answer the following prompts:

1. Do you believe that the four models for regulating expression and speech (authoritarian, communist/state, libertarian, and social responsibility) apply to media in the twenty-first century?

2. In what ways is the United States, for example, libertarian in its regulation (i.e., for the Internet)?

3. In what ways does the social responsibility model not completely describe the way we regulate expression and speech?

Requirements: 1 pge

Answer preview

The United States is libertarian in its regulation since it allows mass media outlets to publish any information and news freely. The country holds that every person is entitled to control their choices and actions on the internet. It, therefore, does not control and has no power over all the ethical activities of its citizens on the internet. The social responsibility model does not clearly describe how speech and expression are regulated; this is because the theory links the libertarian and the authoritarian theories (Jørgensen & Zuleta 2020). For instance, the media is somewhat not under the control of the government but is controlled by citizens of the country’s society. Under the social responsibility model,

Cognitive Development

/in , /by

have you ever wondered why children develop odd understandings? For example, a child was heard to say, “Mommy went to the hospital to throw up her baby.” Where did the child get that idea if no one told him that?

Have you ever tried to help a child solve a problem or gain a new understanding? Were you successful?

This week, you have been studying the theories of Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky. These two 20th-century geniuses agreed that cognitive growth occurs as a result of processes internal to the child. However, they disagreed on the precise process. Piaget focused on developmental stages and Vygotsky focused on adults as the purveyors of cultural knowledge.

Returning to the example above, Piaget would say that the child thinks intuitively and has come to a mistaken conclusion. The child will automatically correct mistaken ideas as cognitive growth progresses and the child becomes able to reason, first more concretely and then more abstractly.

Vygotsky, on the other hand, would say that the child learns language, cultural knowledge, and rules from adults. If the adults understand the child’s current knowledge level and scaffold new information carefully, then the child can learn at a faster rate. This distance between what the child can know and do alone, and what the child can know and do with adult support, is called the Zone of Proximal Development.

Most adults who work with children are unaware of these theoretical views. However, they have a view of their own that influences how they interact with children. You likely already have a point of view that is probably more similar to either Piaget or Vygotsky. Try to proceed with an open mind.

To prepare for this Assignment:

  • Read the following example:

    As a 3-year-old, Mateo was afraid of Santa Claus, believed his shadow was following him, and expected that all adults knew his name. He could sing the ABC song and count by rote to 10. By the time he was 8 years old, Mateo loved sitting on Santa’s lap, used his hands to make shadow characters, and was able to disagree with a friend without getting upset. He could read simple text and add, subtract, and multiply.

  • Think about the previous example from Piaget’s point of view and then from Vygotsky’s. What do you think each would say about how Mateo’s developmental changes came about? From Piaget’s point of view, consider the development of stages and egocentrism. From Vygotsky’s point of view, consider the Zone of Proximal Development and the adult’s role in providing cultural knowledge.

The Assignment: (2–3 pages)

  • Contrast Piaget’s theory to Vygotsky’s theory. Using the example above, describe how Piaget and Vygotsky differ in their views about how cognitive development progresses. Be sure to include all of the following in your answer:
    • The main ideas of the stages of development from Piaget and the Zone of Proximal Development from Vygotsky
    • A description of the adult’s role in the process from the point of view of each theorist
    • A clear explanation of Mateo’s developmental progress from the point of view of each theorist
    • A clear explanation of the differences between the two theorists’ approaches

Hero is a video and also Im pasting the transcript of the video

FEMALE SPEAKER: Cognition, of course, is a theory that was proposed by Jean Piaget. And he talked about how we make sense of our world. And we developed schemes.

One of the first stages of cognitive development is the Sensory motor stage. And if you break those two words up, you have senses and motor. And so we make sense of our world by moving through our environment and using our senses to develop those schemes. If we have limited motor development that means we’re limited in the space, in the environment, in the area that we can move through. And so that’s going to impact our cognitive development.

The second stage is the preoperational stage. The third stage is the concrete operational stage. And then the final stage is the formal operational stage. And you’ll notice when you look at Piaget’s theory, it begins at birth, his stages, and they end at adolescence.

So, basically what that says is that our sense of development when we talk about cognitive development, are pretty much is in place by the time we reach adolescence. And then what happens after that, as we grow into adulthood, is we simply build on those first four stages. The other thing about Piaget is that he said that those stages work in order. You have to go from one stage to the next stage, to the next stage.

So you can’t necessarily skip a stage. The other thing is that those stages have some variation in them. And so even though the first stage is from birth to two years, a child may move into the second stage maybe at 15 months or 18 months. But what he did say is that development ends, it’s done by the time we reach adolescence.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

When you think about information processing, think about a computer. You have your hard drive and you have the soft-drive. And so when researchers developed information processing, it’s just what it says. How we process information. We have our mental hardware and we have our mental software. We have the hardware, our brain, which is what we’re born with. It’s already pre-wired. But then what we do is we add information to that.

That enables us to do the things that we do. That enable us, for example, to go to school and learn how ABCs. That enable us to do a speech or that enables me to

Motor Development and Cognition

sit here in front of you and to explain to you about human development. That was because of experiences that I’ve had. And so that adds to the hardware.

Now if the hardware is damaged, in other words, if there’s some brain delay, if there’s some damage to the brain, it may not work as we would like for it. So that means that the software that I use is going to have to be a little bit different because the hardware, the hard wiring, has been damaged to some extent.

Vygotsky is one of my favorite theorists. And the reason why I liked Vygotsky so much is because unlike the other theorists, he includes the sociocultural aspect. He includes the impact of culture on cognitive development. One of the things that Vygotsky talked about is that he said that learning takes place in collaboration with other people. That no man is an island unto himself. And that children learn better when they are teamed up with other children who have more skills than they do. And so he introduced the concept of scaffolding.

And so scaffolding is a teaching strategy that teachers can use to see where a child is and where they need to go. And so I can build on the information that you have, I don’t have to repeat the information that you already know. I can assess what you do know, and then build on that so that you can go further.

And so with Vygotsky, the interesting thing about him is that he looked at the individual as an interactive person in terms of their environment. That their environment has an impact on their cognitive ability. And when we team children up with other children, they tend to want to do as well as that other child that they have been teamed up with.

And who better to teach a child how to do something than another child. It’s not as intimidating. They want to learn a little bit more. And so Vygotsky left us with so much that we can draw upon to help us better understand cognitive development. Scaffolding is very, very effective. And it’s effective because it gives help where needed. Help that is needed as opposed to giving a child something to do. and they don’t need your help to do it. And so I’m going to praise you for what you do know, and then I’m going to introduce some concepts to help you expand the information that you already know.

And so a good teacher is paying attention to what their children in their classroom are doing and what they already know. And so then they say, Johnny I see you know how to count up to five. That’s great. And so I don’t need to repeat that. What I want Johnny to do is to count up to 10. And so, when we set the bar high I believe that children will meet that expectation. And scaffolding is one way to do that.

Answer preview

As per Piaget’s cognitive development stages, a three-year-old Mateo was at the preoperational phase of his intellectual development. At this stage, his thinking is anchored on intuition rather than logic, and that’s why he believed not only was his shadow following him around but also that every adult should know his name. However, by the time he was ten years old, Mateo had moved to the operational stage of cognitive development, evidenced by the concrete reasoning that allowed him to argue with friends without getting upset when they have differing points of view.

Vygotsky

Vygotsky argued that learning takes place due to the input of a knowledgeable adult guiding a child’s learning process. For example, Mateo was afraid of Santa Claus when he was three years old; however, such fear went away since, by the time he was eight years old, Mateo was no longer afraid of Santa Claus, considering he now enjoyed sitting on Santa’s lap.

Essay Subject: Excessive student loan debts

there are two parts of the Essay:

1. Group Project Brainstorming Report: When meeting in your problem-solving group, you will be discussing in detail the problem. After clearly identifying, defining, and clarifying the problem, your group will create one solution that helps to solve the problem you described. There will probably not be a solution that is a 100% fix, and that’s okay. Your group can talk about the strengths and the weaknesses of the solution to meeting the problem. Remember, take good notes while meeting with your group.

All of the steps in the organizational format below should be explained in great detail, not just notes. Brainstorming is all about the details, so help me to understand that your group talked in depth about your subject by clearly explaining the group’s thoughts on each of the four categories below.

Organizational Format for Brainstorming Session

  1. Identify – clearly state the problem you are trying to solve.
  2. Define – thoroughly describe the problem. Why does the problem exist? What are the cause and effects? Are there drawbacks to solving this problem?
  3. Clarify – who is impacted by the problem? How are they impacted?
  4. Solve – offer one solution to satisfy the problem. Include the strengths and weaknesses of this solution as it relates to the problem you described.

The Brainstorming Report should be at least 1 full single-spaced page in length. Remember, brainstorming is all about the details, so this report should explain in detail the four steps your group used to find a solution.

2. Group Project Reaction Essay: Once your group meeting is complete, you will analyze your experience in a reaction essay by answering the questions below. The essay should be 2-3 pages, double-spaced, Times New Roman font.

Reaction Essay Questions

  • Verbal/Nonverbal Analysis – Did each group member contribute to the problem-solving discussion? How did the group decide who would talk at a time? Did one group member talk more than others? Overall was the group effective with verbal communication? How did nonverbal messages contribute to the group process?
  • Listening Analysis– How effective were the group members at listening to one another? Was there a member who exhibited good or poor listening skills? Why are listening skills important when working in a group?
  • Conflict Analysis – Did your group experience any conflict or differing opinions? What type of conflict: pseudo conflict, simple conflict, or ego conflict? How did conflict impact the group problem-solving experience? If a conflict was not experienced, how did your group avoid conflict?
  • What insights did you gain about the interpersonal communication process through working in this problem-solving group?

Different people harbor different characteristics. This disparity is particularly evident when dealing with a significant number of people who are required to work together towards a definite goal. For example, some people may be introverted, impeding them from being active participators in any group discussion (Berger & Roloff, 2019). However, some individuals are extroverted, and these individuals take up an active role in group participation. Often, these individuals overshadow the more reserved group members, and if nothing is done about this, some of the group members may be left out in the discussion. Therefore, in a group setting where members’ insights are essential, there is a need to embrace the differences in people’s characteristics (Berger & Roloff, 2019). In addition,

The American Diabetes Association is one of the entities in the United States that dedicates a considerable amount of its resources and efforts towards not only understanding the incidence of diabetes within the American population but also the effectiveness of the various interventions developed to address the issue (ADA, 2018). The best way for them to do this is via national data surveys, which allow them to collect pertinent data to inform the findings and reports they publish. In line with this, the American Diabetes Association conducted a national data survey in 2018. The purpose of this survey was to establish the prevalence of diabetes within the general American population, the number of individuals with undiagnosed cases of diabetes, its prevalence amongst the geriatric population, and finally, the number of new cases recorded every year in the United States (ADA, 2018).
