Describe Behavioral Nutrition. What are some of the effects of diet on mental health? On physical health? Consider the epidemic of anorexia nervosa in post-cold-war Russia, brought about etiologically just as if it were a bacterial infection or viral infection. How have Americans spread eating disorders throughout the former Soviet Union (hint: consider the fashion industry and the new freedom to advertise – as well as who is modeling clothing for both males and females.) Discuss the differences in the concept of "eating healthfully" contrasting 1950's ideas of the food pyramid with today's considerations. Are the baby-boomers who followed their pediatrician's nutritional advice and school cafeteria and elementary school teacher's lectures suffering for their "butterfat past"? Describe atherosclerosis and what can be done to change eating habits to reverse high cholesterol levels.

9. When drawing supply and demand graphs, what do we always show on the X-axis?

PRICE / QUANTITY

10. When drawing supply and demand graphs, what do we always show on the Y-axis?

PRICE / QUANTITY

11. The assumption behind a demand and supply curves is that no relevant economic factors, other than the product’s price, are changing. Economists refer to this assumption using a Latin phrase which means “all other things being equal.” Any given demand or supply curve assumes that all else is held equal. In economics, which Latin name describes this assumption?

IN ARCADIA EGO / AD VALOREM / CETERIS PARIBUS / VOX NAHILI / FELIX CULPA

12. A change in quantity demanded which is caused by a change in price appears on the supply and demand graph as:

A MOVEMENT ALONG THE DEMAND CURVE / A SHIFT IN THE DEMAND CURVE’S POSITION

13. An increase in supply when new competitors enter a market appears on the supply and demand graph as a:

A MOVEMENT ALONG THE SUPPLY CURVE / A SHIFT IN THE SUPPLY CURVE’S POSITION

Case: A New Business

Mr. Khalid, a young entrepreneur who has worked in various restaurants throughout high school and college, has decided to develop a new food service concept that focuses primarily on takeout of home-cooked food for busy professionals on their way home from work. The restaurant would also have a small dining area for customers who wish to eat the food there. Because this prospective business will have to compete with other traditional local restaurants, Mr. Khalid wants to ensure that this business will compete on quality and develop a strong quality reputation.

Question: Explain Marketing perspective of Quality for the new business?

You are the CHRO of the Urbania School District. The School Board has decided to change the hours of school in Urbania High School. The High School used to have its first class at 7:30 a.m. In light of some research that shows that teenagers need additional sleep, the school day will now begin at 9:00 a.m. Instead of ending at 3:00 p.m., the school day will be over at 4:30 p.m.

The Principal of the High School is incensed. She does not trust the research. She also believes that student achievement on standardized tests and SATs show that Urbania High is a top-performing school with no need to change its ways.

The Principal decides that she will speak during the public comment section of the next School Board meeting. At the meeting, she excoriates the Board for their decision.

The Board immediately goes into private session to discuss a personnel issue. When they finish, they announce to the public at the meeting that the High School Principal has been fired and that the Assistant Principal has been made Acting Principal.

The following week, you receive a complaint in Federal court stating that the High School Principal was fired for asserting her First Amendment (freedom of speech) rights.

How do you advise the Board of Education?

Le Corbusier was fascinated by certain engineering objects. This interest was well expressed in his book Towards a new Architecture (1923) and well captured by his definition of house as “a machine for living in”. In a similar vein, Walter Gropius outlined the new orientation of his school as “the Bauhaus believes the machine to be our modern medium of design and seeks to come to terms with it.”

What do these two statements mean? What is the relation between ‘architecture’ and ‘machine’ as stated by these two architects? Explain your answer by using at least one building by Le Corbusier and one building by Walter Gropius.
