Psychologists have discovered that human beings experience several different states of consciousness during the course of a day. For example, people have times when they are especially alert and times when they are awake but not alert, often called "daydreaming." Also, while people are asleep, they experience different stages of sleep, each characterized by different patterns of brain and bodily activity.

In a multi-paragraph essay, discuss the different states of consciousness that you have experienced in the past 24 hours, including any periods when you were asleep, alert, or "daydreaming." Be sure to describe both the brain and bodily activity you experienced during each state of consciousness. Include information from class materials, readings, and research on states of consciousness to support your discussion

Case Application 3: TEAM FUN!

Tony, the new director of human resources, and Edna, the compensation and benefits manager, are hanging employment legislation posters in RETREAT, the TEAM FUN! employee cafeteria. Edna offers, “I remember some woman who applied for a job to advertise men’s baseball gear and sued when she didn’t get the job. The EEOC said she had no case. A couple of years ago, we moved Fred from fitness demos to stock management because he couldn’t do the treadmill or lift the big weights anymore. There was talk about an age discrimination case because he was 57, but that never went anywhere.” Tony asks, “Do you realize that all of the warehouse workers are male and all the RETREAT workers are female?” Edna replies, “What’s your point?” Tony waves his hand at the EEOC information they have displayed. Edna shrugs, “This is the best job I ever had. If you ask anyone else who works here, they will say the same thing.”

Questions: 1. What is the probable defense for the baseball gear job (BFOQ, 4/5ths rule, glass ceiling)? Explain.

2. Why didn’t Fred’s age discrimination case go anywhere?

3. Is TEAM FUN! open to discrimination charges in other areas?

Q9

Provided the amplitude is sufficiently great, the human ear can respond to longitudinal waves over a range of frequencies from about 20.0 Hz to about 20.0 kHz. (a) If you were to mark the beginning of each complete wave pattern with a red dot for the long-wavelength sound and a blue dot for the short-wavelength sound, how far apart would the red dots be? m How far apart would the blue dots be? cm (b) In reality would adjacent dots in each set be far enough apart for you to easily measure their separation with a meterstick? Yes No (c) Suppose you repeated part (a) in water, where sound travels at 1480 m/s. How far apart would the red dots be? m How far apart would the blue dots be? cm Could you readily measure their separation with a meterstick? Yes No
