Instructions: Read the following case study and answer the questions at the end.
Devin is a sixteen year old male with moderate mental delays, living with his parents in an upscale neighbourhood. Since he turned 15, Devin has begun to grab at his genitals and emit loud grunting noises whenever he is in the vicinity of girls his own age. This has caused Mr. and Mrs. Quentin a tremendous amount of distress. Because Mrs. Quentin’s profession requires them to entertain clients both at their home and at other venues, this is becoming a very big problem. Here are the results of an interview with Mr. and Mrs. Quentin:
Who is present and what happens just prior to the behaviour?
Well, actually a variety of things typically happen. When there is a girl present who is between the ages of 14 and 20, when we are in a group of people at a party and when his father and I are engaged in conversation with clients.
Has it ever been the case when it hasn’t happened?
Hmmm, only once. The second to last party we were determined not to be embarrassed and so one of us stayed with him all night, engaging him in conversation and getting him food and drinks. Other than that, it always happens. There have been a few parties where no young girls are present and he’s done it to my client’s wives. It’s so embarrassing. That one time we thought it was over, but the last party was horrible. He came across the room toward a young girl and oh, it was horrible.
Has there ever been a time when it’s just been one of you there?
Only a couple of times…he still acted up. It didn’t seem to matter whether or not it was his father or myself.
Is he equally likely to emit the behaviour when the parties are at home versus away?
Yes.
Is there any variation to the party? Time of day? Dinners versus non-dinners, entertainment?
He’s less likely to do it at sit-down dinners, but time doesn’t seem to make a huge difference.
Let’s specifically define the behaviours involved.
He grunts (short, loud, low-pitched vocalizations that sound like short U sound (uh, uh) repeats this sound 6-10 times). He walks quickly (twice normal speed) toward female coming within 18 inches proximity. He places right hand over his genitals and contracts and releases his hand repeatedly. The grunting typically happens 1-2 seconds before he starts to walk and grab (those behaviours happen simultaneously). It can occur any number of times from once in an evening to 7-8 incidences per party.
What happens following the behaviour?
Many different things, depending on the occasion. The girl screams, backs away or cries for help; his father or I rush to him , scold him and lead him from the room. Others at the party rush in to hold him back, others gasp or scold him.
Anything he consistently gets following his behaviour?
Hmmm…a reaction from the female and a scolding from us, I guess.
Anything removed from his environment?
Just him!

SLO2- Understand how factors in the social structure, such as the economy, public policy, religion, and education influence patterns and changes in marriage, families, and relationships.
For this question students will choose and discuss TWO factors in the social structure and their influence. The basics for this are touched upon in chapter one but every chapter from CH3 – CH14 discusses various factors in the social structure and the influence they have so students will need to choose, be specific, and focus on the detail for one example of influence/change per factor.
Choose a factor in the social structure, define it in your own words, then explain using an example, a specific way that this factor has influenced patterns and/or changes in either marriage, families, or relationships. Detail and terminology are expected.
Choose a different factor in the social structure, define it in your own words, then explain using an example, a specific way that this factor has influenced patterns and/or changes in either marriage, families, or relationships. Detail and terminology are expected.

SLO3- Explain how cultural ideas of marriage and family are shaped by the social structure.
This question is focused on two overall aspects reoccurring throughout the textbook: Culture and societal influences which are both combined influences in the Macrosystem. Look for the initial discussion in chapter one.
Decide on one specific example of culture then explain how those cultural ideas of marriage and family were influenced, shaped by if you will, the larger social structure.

Describe the logic and methodology of “preloading" studies, as a strategy for determining factors that influence satiety, the reduced willingness to eat (lower “hunger” or “appetite”) following a meal. Use an example from research (either human or animal) to illustrate how this method has demonstrated the impact of a specific food characteristic (e.g. the food’s color, or taste, or macronutrient composition) on satiety. Additionally, can preloading studies be used to investigate the impact of non-biological (e.g. social or psychological) influences on satiety? If yes, describe a hypothetical study to test the impact of such an influence. If not, explain why.

According to the presentation by Hans Rosling and Gap Minder, why should we "not panic" about the world's population? In other words, what are the current trends in global population (how many, who, where, etc) and what should we anticipated for the future? According to the presentation, why is this potentially better than most people envision? In your discussion include enough specific detail (examples, statistics, etc) to highlight your understanding of the data on population trends and demography.
