...responsibility to make choices both in education and in everyday life. When he or she is presented with a task or an obstacle, they are offered two or more solutions to choose from. For example, in college a paper is presented with a requirement of two thousand words or more. His or hers choice would be whether to complete the writing assignment or not too. That is ultimately their “choice.” Pursuing further in relation to choices, he or she also has an obligation of having personal responsibility. As a student he or she may believe they are obligated by a parent, grandparent or even obligated within to complete his or her degree. Completing the paper and passing a course leads directly to another point regarding obligations found in everyday life. If an individual is a mother, wife, etc., she may have other obligations that tie her down, forcing her to make a choice in relation to what is best at the time. However, this person has a benefit to completing their education online. This benefit allows flexibility in their life to complete an obligation such as feeding a child first then allowing them to come back at a later time to complete the assignment. This allows her to keep her family at the top of her priority list...

...FLAME | Emotional Intelligence | Home Assignment | | Yash Merchant | 3/15/2012 | The following document has the 4 questions out of 5 that I have chosen to answer. This is the home assignment. | 1. Give any one definition of Emotional Intelligence. Answer: Emotional Intelligence, or EI, describes an ability or capacity to perceive, assess, and manage the emotions of one's self, and of others. Our EQ, or Emotional Quotient, is how one measures Emotional Intelligence. Emotions have the potential to get in the way of our most important business and personal relationships.

Write a short note on the marshmallow experiment. Answer: In the 1960s, psychologist Walter Mischel performed an experiment known as the "marshmallow test" with 4-year-old children. He placed one marshmallow in front of a child and told the child it could be eaten now, but if the child waited, he or she could have an extra marshmallow. Dr. Mischel would then leave the room for 15 to 20 minutes, while cameras captured the child's struggle. Some children were unable to hold out and would eat the marshmallow before Dr. Mischel returned, whereas other children were able to control themselves in order to receive that second marshmallow. Dr. Mischel then studied...

...Cognitive Development Richard Clark PSYC1000 Lifespan Development Paper Capella University May 2014 Abstract According to dictionary.com cognitive development. The process of acquiring intelligence and increasingly advanced thought and problem-solving ability from infancy to adulthood. The purpose o f this research paper is to determine if all infants follow the same development process from infant to adulthood. There are many questions about the development stages of a child. I am sure many people would like to know if a child is born with cognitive skills or is that develop over time David F. Bjorklund explains “One issue central to all of psychology is that of nature versus nurture. Traditionally, this has been posed as a dichotomy: Is human thought and behavior genetically/biologically determined or is it shaped by learning/experience/culture? This is dealt with in a more sophisticated way today, in that everyone is an interactionist, with the issue being better expressed as “how do biological/endogenous factors interact with environmental/exogenous factors to produce the adult phenotype?” From this perspective, cognitive development does not simply mature, or bloom, over time, nor is it solely a product of a child’s culture; rather, it emerges over the course of ontogeny as a result of the dynamic and reciprocal transaction between a child’s biological constitution, including genetics, and his or her physical and social...

...ASSIGNMENT NO – 1 VALS THEORY VALS is known as Values, Attitude and Lifestyle is one of the primary ways to perform psychographic segmentation. All three terms are intangible in nature and therefore give an idea of the inert nature of the consumer. If you know what your consumer is thinking, you would know what kind of promotions or communications will attract him most. How do you know what the consumer is thinking? This can be done by determining his VALS – Values, attitudes and lifestyle. VALS is different for different people. For example: Let’s take Income as a segment. If you are a person with high income your lifestyle would probably include habits of the SEC – A class such as dining out of home frequently and that too in top class restaurants, wearing only branded clothes and buying the best cars. Whereas if you are a middle class income group consumer, you would be more wary of spending money and would rather concentrate on savings. So now how does VALS affect a marketer? Consider the case of a Banker. What would a banker sell someone who had a high income lifestyle? Investment options with a dedicated relationship manager to take care of their needs. In fact, the bankers also have a term for high income individuals known as HNWI – High Net worth Individuals. But, if the customer’s lifestyle was that of a low income customer, you are more likely to be targeted for savings. The VALS framework The VALS framework was developed keeping a consumers resources as...

...Gabriella Rosellinny – 14111015 Working Across Border Assignment Culture The word culture is not a foreign word to people in this world as wherever they are and whatever they do, they will always find culture in their house, their surroundings and maybe around the world. But really, what is culture? According to Moran, Harrin and Moran in Managing Culture Differences (2011, pg. 10), culture is a distinctly human means of adapting to circumstances and transmitting this surviving skill and knowledge to the following generations. It gives people a sense of who they are, of belonging, of how they should behave and of what they should be doing. Culture also impacts behavior, morale and productivity at work and includes standards and patterns that influence the attitudes and actions of a company. Culture is stated to be changing but very slow in motion. Based on the definition above, culture can be pointed as the ultimate source of human conflict as there are many cultures which are adapted in this world and these different cultures resulted to different types of politics, economics, ideologies, arts, beliefs an etc. If people, businesses and countries have the same culture, they will get along and come together. However, if they have different culture, they will not manage well together and possibly have a conflict as they all think that they are standing on what is right and the other parties are wrong. As a global person who works across border, one should understand...

...Betty Bates AC1300186 Introduction to Ecology Assignment 8 The Northern Spotted Owl Habitat vs. Logging Interests in the Pacific Northwest The Northern Spotted Owl (Strix Occidentalis Courina) likes to live in older forest growths. It is often thought of as the medium sized owl, but in reality, it is the largest owl in North America. Spotted owls do their hunting at night. The spotted owl’s diet consists mainly of small rodents, other birds and reptiles, but have been seen feeding on cairns, and insects. Owls are usually found in California and the Pacific North West in the United States, where they live in old forest growths. (The Defenders of Wild Life). They will not tolerate habitat “disturbance” and are very protective of their territory in which they live, and hunt. Owls prefer tall trees with broken tops where they can fly under and past these broken tops, where they like to nest and raise their young. The Northern spotted owl is a protected species. Due to extensive logging, the owls and their habitat is swiftly declining at an alarming rate; they were added to the endangered species list in the early “1990s” (The Defenders of Wildlife). Unfortunately, the habitat they prefer is a direct target for the logging industry the cutting of trees in their habitat, conversion of land, wind storms, and wildfires have decreased their numbers“( example: 100 pair in British Columbia, 1200 pair in Oregon, 560 pair in Northern California, and 500 pair...

...Traditional and Online School: The Choice of Success Have you ever thought of the endless career opportunities derived from a college education? Are you happy with your current financial situation? In a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, involving young adults age 25-34, as of 2009 the median annual earnings of an individual with a high school diploma or equivalent was $32,900, while a person with a bachelor’s degree averaged $51,000 per year. With the potential of a 45 percent increase in annual wages, the obvious question is when to start college and where to go. Professional growth is dependent upon education; regardless of current life status, both online and traditional educations provide a variety of possibilities to suit all individual needs. It is important to understand that traditional schools require their students to maintain a set classroom schedule; this can consist of multiple days a week with set class schedules ranging from one hour to 3 hours. The amount of students per class varies, depending on the class structure, each course starts on a specific date set forth by the college campus. Attending class in a traditional school requires the student to go to class on campus, while this provides a stable set schedule for students; daily life provides obstacles for some people that will not make this possible. Online schools generally begin courses more often than traditional schools making...
