This discussion post is worth 50 points.

1.Thinking about your own life using Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model, can you draw a picture of the various layers of context in which you grew up?

2.What is your understanding of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs? Do you know someone who you would consider has reached the highest levels?

3.Discuss separation anxiety. What behaviors indicate the child is trying to keep the attached person from leaving? What emotions might a child display? How can an adult help the child to separate from the person he or she is attached to?

4.What are your ideas, thoughts, or feelings about working with families around issues of attachment? What experiences do you have in supporting parents’ attachment to their infant?

5.Have you ever known a family that valued interdependence over independence? Which parts of this chapter would not pertain to them? Which parts would?

6.How much do you help a child who is struggling to do something on his or her own? What experiences do you have in teaching self-help skills? Do you agree that children should be given opportunities to do things on their own, or do you feel better about helping children, especially when they are struggling? Which was stressed more when you were growing up—independence or interdependence?

7.How do you react to the idea of an “internal government”? Do you believe it is better for children to always have someone in authority watching them and taking charge of their behavior?

8.What is your opinion of the expectations that street musicians (“Perspectives on Child Rearing,” pp.87-88) have of their daughter? Are the parents’ expectations hampering her development? How much play time do children need? Does it harm them to put the good of the parents over their own urges to play and run around all the time? Remember, these are cultural questions. Different perspectives give different answers. If you talk with someone who disagrees with you, try to create a dialogue instead of a debate or argument.

9.What was your reaction to the section about the power of adult attention and use of affirmations? What are your experiences with using praise to motivate children?

What was your reaction to the list of ways to teach pro-social behaviors? Did some resonate more than others? Were there any that you disagreed with?

The cultures in this chapter 6 are not labeled. Does that frustrate you? Why do you think the author chose to deal with patterns rather than particular cultural differences? Why do you find no lists in this book of typical characteristics of the most common cultures in the United States and Canada today?

What are some of the factors in children’s lives that work against their pro-social development?

Discuss how the environment can be used to curb behavior and restrict a child from doing something dangerous or unacceptable. What is an example of learning from experiencing a consequence? Is your example a logical or a natural consequence?

Give examples of three prosocial behaviors you would want to teach young children. Have you ever taught these behaviors? If yes, how? Would you use this particular discussion question when working with parents? If yes, why? If no, why not?

Your Discussion this week is to explain the framework for a basic marketing plan for the startup venture you have been considering. Keep this plan basic, start with one store. In creating a marketing plan framework, cover what elements you believe are most important to have in place for the initial start up. Your goal is be profitable in year 1 so think about and explain your logic for each part of the start up marketing plan.

You must label each answer with the number of question. Each question must have at least three sentence answers. There is no maximum sentence, use as many as you wish to thoroughly answer the question. All answers must be complete sentences using proper grammar and spelling.

Sarah paid $50,000 for a franchise that covers the entire United States. She intended to sell individual franchises for the each state. Naturally, investors considering buying a franchise from her asked to see the financial statements of the business.

Believing the true value of the franchise to be $500,000. She gives the franchise to Cindy. She borrow $500,000 from the bank. She pays $500,000 to the corporation for all of the stock. The corporation then uses the $500,000 to buy the franchise from Cindy. Cindy then pays the bank loan off with the $500,000.

In the final analysis, Cindy is debt-free and out of the picture. Sarah owns all the corporation’s stock, and the corporation owns the franchise. The corporation’s balance sheet lists a franchise acquired at a cost of $500,000. This balance sheet is the most valuable marketing tool.

At the end of the semester we discussed DNA damage and repair systems. Then we read some papers on gene editing tools because these tools depend on DNA repair mechanisms in the cell to complete the editing process. For one of the three major editing tools, ZNFs (Zinc finger nucleases), TALENS (transcription activator-like effector nucleases) or CRISPR Cas9 answer the following:
     i. What are the components of the gene editing system? (2 pts)
           (type answer here)

    ii. What are the in vivo or normal functions components of the gene editing system? (2 pts)
           (type answer here)

    iii. What are the steps in use of the gene editing system to introduce a double stranded DNA break in the target DNA? If you include figures to help you answer this question be sure to insert in this section with your typed answer. (3 pts)
           (type answer and insert figure here)

     iv. What are the steps in the cell’s repair system(s) and how does this participate with these gene editing systems, leading to the edited DNA? If you include a figure to help you answer this question be sure to insert in this section with your typed answer. (3 pts)
           (type answer and insert figure here)

     v. How are the components of the gene editing system introduced to or inserted into cells? (2 pts)
           (type answer here)

     vi. Give a specific example of use of this gene editing system in attempt to correct the error(s) of an inborn error of metabolism. Describe how this was used to edit DNA to alleviate a defect and identify whether this was an in vivo, in vitro or ex vivo application and if successful (2 pts).

1.       A sample of 100 expert public health researchers were surveyed and their opinion about the possibility of the CO-Vid 19 spiking in the fall was accessed.  They were asked to predict if the spike would be much higher than in the spring, about the same as in the spring,  a very small spike or no spike at all. Of the 100, 40 reported much higher than in the spring spike, 30 reported about the same as in the spring, 20 a very small spike and 10 no spike at all.  The researcher wanted to know if these obtained results deviated significantly from what would be expected if there were no differences among the expectancies.

a.       State the null and alternative hypotheses

b.       Perform chi-square goodness of fit test

c.       What is the critical value of chi-square for this test

d.       What is your decision with respect to the null hypothesise.       Do these results deviate significantly from what would be expected by chance?  Describe this deviation

You work in a "planning" clinic and follow a young couple who are planning to have a first child soon. Unfortunately the couple experiences some difficulties.Several months later and after several attempts, you have a second
meeting with the couple who failed to give birth. You ask thishave a blood sample taken from them. The woman's blood work returns to normal, except for a low levelovarian hormones. Note that the woman is, at this time, in the phase
luteal of its ovarian cycle.
a) How does this result explain the woman's inability to get pregnant?
(Explain in detail the physiological processes impacted by hormones
ovaries at this stage of the cycle and how they influence the ability of the
woman to get pregnant)
b) What would you prescribe the woman to deal with the problem? Why?
(Make the connection between the physiological processes described in a) and your choice of treatment

Homo erectus and Homo ergaster are all considered to be one species with a variation. Discuss this variation in detail and explain how this can be a variation of one species rather than two separate species
