Which of the following statements about the Information Age is true?
As the world civilizations were sequentially moving through the Stone, Agricultural, Industrial and Informational ages, the average life expectancy has been slowly but steadily increasing.
Improvements in the quality of goods and services in the informational age are not easily captured by the common measures of nations' economic output, such as GDP.
Modern economists predict that somewhere around the year 2100 most countries in the word will attain the status of a developed country, with population growth rates in such countries stabilizing around 6%.
During the Information Age, the Malthusian Hypothesis still dominates thinking on population trends.
The examples of sharp declines in life expectancy and negative population growth rates can now be found only in the history of civilizations, not in the Information Age any more.

TCO 3. The deacons at Morgan's church are experiencing group disharmony within their group, which has become so serious that conflict is the chief output of group interactions instead. Morgan is a very assertive and self-assured person who has a dominating interaction style. It is rare for other deacons in the group to be able to get a word in edgewise in their meetings, especially for those who are shy and introverted. Such members start out with every intention of being productive, although as time passes they don't feel like their ideas are valued and their participation levels drop. Two part question: a. Morgan thinks the members who have stopped contributing are lazy. Do you agree with his attribution? Explain your answer. b. How does the concept of perceived self-control apply to this situation? Explain your answer.
