Charlie is an 8-year-old boy who is having difficulty making friends and sitting still in class. When he goes to school, his teacher complains that he can't sit still. He will sit for 3 minutes but soon after he starts bouncing his leg, and then he begins tapping his pencil. Shortly thereafter, he starts rapping lyrics under his breath. He is performing well in school, but his behavior is distracting others.
Charlie isn't hyperactive like this at home, but his mother is concerned. His mother wants you to prescribe him Xanax for anxiety and Adderall for ADHD. After you do an extensive interview with Charlie, you realize that he is just bored in his U.S History class and would rather be playing basketball in P.E.
However, Charlie's mother insists that you write a few prescriptions. Research suggests that medical professionals (Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistant's, etc.) are often pressured to write prescriptions even when they don't believe that it is the best thing to do for the patient.
Your investigation has led you to believe that Charlie just needs more physical exercise. But his mother continues to insist that Charlie needs medication. How would you explain to his mother what you plan to do?
Use your investigation skills and present your facts to her. Be sure to incorporate at least 1 developmental theory covered in this week's readings to support your argument.

If not, why not?

I would like for you to reflect on the historical events, issues, and figures discussed in this class from the 1500 to present day. Choose one of more events, issues, and figures that have, in your opinion, had the greatest impact on the present day. Make an argument as to why you believe this to be case.
Example:
After the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand triggering one of the most impactful events to exist, World War I. The war began in 1914 and lasted until 1918, there were two separate sides the central powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire) and the allied powers (Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Romania, Japan, and the United States). Ultimately, Germany met its fate and signed the Treaty of Versailles which brought a great cost to their country. On the other hand, the United States being an allied power flourished from this war and had an economic boom. One side note that was remarkable was the 369th Infantry Regiment which consisted of African Americans. This was significant due to the fact that it was the very first black platoon. Many social customs eventually were faded out and society as a whole became much more open o new ideas. Innovation and technology was also a big effect from this war as it made a carpet for the industrial revolution.
