...2. In Chapter 5, "Civil Rights, Equality and Social Movements," the authors define civil rights as, "those positive rights, whether political, social, or economic, conferred by the government on individuals or groups." As such, they are rights that are conferred upon us based on legislative action (i.e., the right to marry, the right to vote, the right to drive, etc.). The Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause requires each state to not "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Thus, there is some restriction on a state when it provides civil rights, to do so in an equal manner. After reading Chapter 5 in its entirety, focus specifically on the discussion regarding, "The Women's Movement and Gender Equality." Include the following: * Provide an understanding of the Court's initial opinion as to whether the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause required states to apply the law equally, without regard to gender. Use Muller v. Oregon (1908), Goesaert v. Cleary (1948), and Hoyt v. Florida (1961). * Beginning with Reed v. Reed (1971), explain the shift in the Court's opinion with regard to the Fourteenth Amendment's application to laws that discriminated based on gender. * Understanding the difference between the formal amendment process and the informal amendment process, explain how the Court's decisions relating to gender equality, beginning in the 1970's, may have achieved results similar to the goals of the Equal...

I may like it or not but the environment that I live in does makes me the way I am. My conscience helps modify me to learn. Just as I, so do other, thus we’re all active agents, shaping both ourselves and our environments. Our accomplishing goals such as myself having a GPA after much negligence has made me more aware of the environment, such as those who had not voted for the newly elected president. The effect is, as we act on modify the world in which we live, we in turn are shaped and transformed by our own actions of human observation, consciousness, and culture. Yet another...

...Student Name: Tamylah Little SENSATION & PERCEPTION WORKSHEET Review the "Thinking Critically About Advertising and Subconscious Messages" box on page 84 of Chapter 3 - Sensation and Perception. Complete the activity as indicated and address the following questions. a) Briefly describe the path of information from the targeted sensory organ (i.e. eye, ear, skin, etc.) to the brain. Include a synthesis of terms/information from both Chapter 2 - Biological Basis of Behavior and Chapter 3 - Sensation and Perception in your description. When you are using your ears you can choose what you want listen to, but you cannot choose what you are hearing. The first step is when the pinna collects sounds that enter though the ear canal as sound waves. The ear drum then starts to vibrate as the sound waves strike. Theses vibrations will then pass through the hammer, anvil, and staples where they are then amplified. The vibrations are finally understood as sound in the brain after being taken and altered into nerve signals by the cochlea. This is due to the connectivity of the inner ear to the edge of the staples. When the staples vibrate they always transfer the sound vibrations to the inner ear. b) What cues were used to create subconscious or conscious associations? Often times, music is a tool that is used to target an audience; in the particular Mercedes commercial that I watched the music was very classy and sophisticated, and it was played at a low volume. c) What is the...

...Chapter 8 Discussion questions 1. What are the three reasons why so many organizations struggle to implement and maintain pricing strategies? * The inherently cross-functional nature of pricing provides many opportunities for the strategy to “come off the tracks” because there is no clear ownership of, and responsibility for, pricing outcomes. * Another reason is the conflicted motivations of decision-makers translate into inconsistently applied pricing policies. * The inconsistent application of pricing strategies is that managers often do not have the necessary information and tools to make profitable pricing decisions. 3. Name the two dimensions of the pricing function which provide the basis for the three archetypal structures for the pricing function named in the text. Name and describe these three structures. The two dimensions are role and degree of centralization. First structure: known as the Center of Scale where pricing is managed at a corporate level. Second structure: referred as the Center of Expertise that reflects what an organization thinks of its members. Pricing decisions are supported by corporate pricing. Third structure: referred as to Dedicated Support Unit where independent pricing organizations exist in each business unit. 5. After the organization structure has been established and decision rights have been defined, what is the next step for organizing the pricing function? The next step for organizing the pricing function is...

...An issue facing the criminal justice system today is more juvenile offenders. There are more and more juvenile offenders. Children are growing up so fast in today’s world that they are committing crimes at younger ages. This issue impacts the criminal justice system in a few ways. One the juvenile detention centers will get crowding with youth. The probation programs will also get crowded. Probation officer will be over worked because of so many cases. If the issue was magnified the juvenile justice system would only get more over worked then what it is now and more and more youth would slip through the cracks and not get the help that they need, and would most likely become repeat offenders and go into adult life committing crimes. The crime rates will rise and society would become even more fearful. I f the issue were to decrease the juvenile system would be able to help the juvenile offender more individually to help them get on the right path in their lives. We would be able to try to help more youth offenders get the help that they need to become better upstanding citizens. Society would become less fearful and more willing to help youth more, rather than considering them a lost cause when they do get into trouble. The personnel in the criminal justice system would have to work even harder because of a higher work load if the issue magnified. There would be more cases assigned to the personnel that they would not be able to commit the quality time to all cases, some...

...Discussion as a Teaching Strategy Enrique Sanabria, Jr. Education 205 (FG) Dr. Hope Hartman Discussion: Concepts and Ideology Teaching is an art form all its own. It has order, function, purpose, meaning, and, like art, evolves and takes shape within the imagination and mind of the teacher. At the disposal of the teacher are many ways or strategies that can be utilized to ensure that those being taught are truly and fully comprehending and utilizing any and all knowledge accumulated and assimilated. To list a few, there are strategies such as reciprocal teaching, reciprocal questioning, problem- or project-based learning, tutoring, or debating/discussion. In this paper, the strategy that will be focused upon is discussion. Different people and even experts will have differing definitions of what exactly is discussion. A very concise, yet highly intelligent definition has been given for the word and teaching strategy known as Discussion. According to Larson (1997), Wileen & White (1991) stated that it (discussion) is characterized as a structured conversation among participants who present, examine, compare and understand similar and diverse ideas about an issue. Larson (1997) also stated Gall (1985) reported that discussion is an effective way to promote higher-level thinking, develop student attitudes, and advance student capability for moral questioning. In short, discussion provides opportunities for student thoughtfulness...

...A Discussion about Death Jeff Tiedemann May 14, 2011 Grand Canyon University The following paper will be part interview and part essay. A local funeral director was interviewed about final preparations, the purpose of a modern funeral, how people cope with death, and unusual request for funeral services. A brief discussion how some modern funeral traditions were originated and why death is almost always attached to fear will also be addressed. Death is still reacted to with fear even with all the modern scientific and medical knowledge that is available to our society. Since no one has ever died and returned to tell about what death is really like, we as humans have a natural fear of what is not understood or cannot be controlled (www.wyfda.org 1). The typical response to death is avoidance because death is not a pleasant topic of conversation. Most speak of people dying and not focusing on themselves. Fear has been a response to death since primitive times; this fear started the first burial rituals, that were meant to protect the lining from the spirits, which caused the death (1). Along with the burning of corpses to destroy evil spirits, some cultures would eat the deceased as a show of respect to the person who died (www.anthropology.uwaterloo.ca 2). The fear of the dead carried over into religious thought and sacrifices of all kinds were made in honor of the dead and to appease the spirits. A modern funeral for most cultures is a spiritual experience. According...

...DQ 1 Most of the time when we are talking about business research they use the applied research method. My company would use this type of research to figure out how to make more profitable when transporting goods. They may look at changing routes or how they split loads between drivers. DQ 2 Three things to research would be when these complaints are happening day or night? Who are these complaints about one employee or multiple employees? What are the company policies for customer service? DQ 3 Quantitative data is easier to read it can be translated to numerical expression. This is much easier to use when trying to determine if they should change something and how things are going. DQ 4 The essential characteristics distinguishing a true experiment require experimental and control groups and making sure that all parts of the experiment are validated. When conducting experiments with humans things can change constantly making it hard to validate. DQ 5 Some of the focus group questions I would use are. Does the IPhone have the capability to do what you need it to? Are there any features you do not like about it? How was the battery life? Were all the features easy to navigate? DQ 6 A method of sociological investigation that uses question based or statistical surveys to collect information about how people think and act. For example, a possible application of survey research to a business context might involve looking at how effective mass media is in helping...

...Discussion #1 Receivers can provide feedback through body language and eye contract. For example, if a person is falling asleep or rolling their eyes, it shows they are not interested or not listening to the sender. If a person is talking to somebody else that could mean they are also disinterested with what the sender is saying. This has a negative effect on the message because it will likely get lost in translation. The sender may feel offended thinking they are wasting their time talking to the receiver. The receiver also may think that their time is being wasted so that is their way of showing their dissatisfaction without verbalizing it. Discussion Question #1 Feedback from receivers can be provided in various ways, whether verbal or non-verbal. Feedback that non verbal would be through body language, not speaking is a form of non verbal communication, because you are still relaying a messages even when you don’t talk. Examples of verbal communication can be hand gestures as well. How the receiver interprets the message is what influences the feedback or in other words how he or she decodes the results in the feedback. Examples of feedback are if the receiver can relate to the context of the message then he or she will display attention or if not they’ll most likely show it through non verbal cues or body language. This affects the message because as you are translating or speaking to someone you are also acting as a transreciever which means you are receiving...

...The Director of F&B at a hotel has many responsibilities. Develop a prioritize list of three to five skills for success as a Director of F&B. Be prepared to defend your ranking. 1). Motivation----- When being a director they need that motivation and strive to keep things moving at the right pace because the as the director, one has so many things to do on a daily base period. All the goals will be meet on time if the company has a mindset of being motivated to get things done and getting them done on time. I chose motivation because being motivated and having motivation it helps one throughout life to get things accomplished. The company as individuals follows the director and his orders and his motivation. If the director isn’t on time the company wont be either. With the director being in a motivated mood, the company will also be motivated and everything that has to be done will get done as needed. 2). Budgeting- Basically the Director needs to know and manage the finances of the company. The director needs to know how to do this important responsibility. Money comes in and out each day through a hotels F&B. If things go wrong with the finances all that relies on the director. All three of these responsibilities play a big role in the development of a great director of F&B. Even though each one plays a big role, I needed to prioritize them in order. Leadership came first because leadership is where everything starts. Its the heart and...

...doing what they can with trying to catch those who are committing this type of fraud but there is no way to catch every last cheater which can be the employee and the employer. This is exactly why there needs to be government invollvement like we discussed in class this week. The government sets the guidelines and rules for umemployment compensation - but it is up to employees and employers to be honest. As we mentioned in our discussion, President Obama, extended the umployment benefits which is viewed as very costly employers since it even raises their taxes and yet appreiated by employees. We also discussed how much government involvement would be best and from looking over the threaded disscussions from the class I think the majority of us agreed that some sort of balance was the key. The problem is how to find that balance. One law mentioned in this article is that and employee must be working for a particular company for six months before collecting any unemployment and I believe this impacts the this discussion on the cycle many americans are living -find a new job work six months- live off unemployment as...

...the teacher's discussion. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that technique but we have to take into consideration other students who may not be able to clearly understand some part of the topic due to multiple factors. One could be lack of attention span. Now, in a creative presentation the students themselves get to study the topic on their own and think of a way to share their gaied knowledge with their students. A way that is the student way, in that case all students can relate. Given that all students are able to relate it will give a better chance of students learning even more. Plus, since it is a creative presentation, we need not worry about students with little attention span. I'm not very attentive when it comes to disscussion because I prefer to do things on my own but with our creative presentation, I learned to work in groups well which is to me is a good thing. I believe that to say that a presentation is successful, one does not only need to make the audience understand youe topic but at the same time the performer should be able to learn something to from the experience. I'm usually skeptical when it comes to my co-members because I've had experiences about students who doesn't really care much about group works. But this time, I learned to trust my group mates which is only because I had no choice, because I just had to trust them or else we'd end up with nothing but even though, I was only forced to trust,...
