Which of the characters was most compelling to you, and why? 4- Culture and Power Create Scarcity Recognize that power and culture are inseparable, one does not exist without the other, and currently the dominant form of culture is based upon industrial production requiring essentially infinite energy supplies – which do not in fact exist. So we collectively face a terrible problem. And yet the greatest burden of this problem is being borne by those least able to do anything about it, while at the same time those who benefit most from the economic inequalities imposed by the culture of industrial production and imposed scarcity are unwilling or unable to recognize that things cannot continue as they are. This is our dilemma; one we must solve now or ignore and risk facing unimaginable chaos later. Concerned about the ultimate implications of his theories about space, time and energy, Einstein pointed out that 20th century problems would never be solved by 19th century thinking. Indeed, by the same token, 21st century problems will not be solved with 20th century thinking either. The same can be said for oversimplified false dichotomies between 'conservatives' and 'liberals' and particularly 'capitalism' and 'communism'. The latter pair of binary opposites are 19th century ideas while the former are legacies of the 20th century. We are well beyond the political and economic circumstances that informed such artificially limited conceptualizations of the human condition in many, many ways. And yet, these same tired inaccurate philosophical cages are still supposed to encompass the almost infinite variety and subtleties of contemporary global and local political economies? This is essentially the problem Einstein was concerned with when he noted the conceptual poverty of such willed ignorance. Our technological capacity has outstripped our cultural mechanisms of maintaining social control (consider greed: how much is enough?) and exacerbated our ability to impose physically violent solutions to complex and entirely negotiable problems. Our challenge now is to reassert the primacy of compassion and respect for differenc.

In its mildest form, it appears as faint white lines or streaks visible only to trained examiners under controlled exam- ination conditions. In its pronounced form, fluorosis manifests as white mottling of the teeth in which noticeable white lines or streaks often have coalesced into larger opaque areas.2,3 Brown staining or pitting of the enamel also may be present.2,3 In its most severe form, actual break- down of the enamel may occur.2,3 In recent years, there has been an increase in the prevalence of children seen with enamel fluo- A B S T R A C T Background. Few studies have evaluated the impact of specific fluoride sources on the prevalence of enamel fluorosis in the population. The author conducted research to determine attributable risk percent estimates for mild-to-moderate enamel fluorosis in two populations of middle-school–aged children. Methods. The author recruited two groups of children 10 to 14 years of age. One group of 429 had grown up in nonfluoridated communities; the other group of 234 had grown up in optimally fluoridated communities. Trained examiners measured enamel fluorosis using the Fluorosis Risk Index and measured early childhood fluoride exposure using a questionnaire completed by the parent. The author then calculated attributable risk percent estimates, or the proportion of cases of mild-to-moderate enamel fluorosis associated with exposure to specific early fluoride sources, based on logistic regression models. Results. In the nonfluoridated study sample, sixty-five percent of the enamel fluorosis cases were attributed to fluoride supplementation under the pre- 1994 protocol. An additional 34 percent were explained by the children having brushed more than once per day during the first two years of life. In the optimally fluoridated study sample, 68 percent of the enamel fluorosis cases were explained by the children using more than a pea-sized amount of toothpaste during the first year of life, 13 percent by having been inappropriately given a fluoride supple.

1-Experiences with a Hybrid Class: Tips And Pitfalls College Teaching Methods & Styles Journal, 2006, Vol.2(2), p.9-12 Notes This paper will discuss the author's experiences with converting a traditional classroom-based course to a hybrid class, using a mix of traditional class time and web-support. The course which was converted is a lower-level human relations class, which has been offered in both the traditional classroom-based setting and as an asynchronous online course. After approximately five years of offering the two formats independently, the author decided to experiment with improving the traditional course by adopting more of the web-based support and incorporating more research and written assignments in "out of class" time. The course has evolved into approximately 60% traditional classroom meetings and 40% assignments and other assessments out of class. The instructor's assessment of the hybrid nature of the class is that students are more challenged by the mix of research and writing assignments with traditional assessments, and the assignments are structured in such a way as to make them more "customizable" for each student. Each student can find some topics that they are interested in to pursue in greater depth as research assignments. However, the hybrid nature of the class has resulted in an increased workload for the instructor. The course has been well received by the students, who have indicated that they find the hybrid format appealing. 2-Undergraduate Research Methods: Does Size Matter?

A new course format was introduced in fall of 2006 that involves a hybrid approach (large lecture with small recitations) with a higher level of student enrollment than traditional research methods courses. During the same time frame, the discipline maintained its traditional research methods courses as well. A survey was administered to all students enrolled in research methods regardless of course format in fall 2006 and spring 2007. Student responses are discussed, including information concerning the preparation, design, cost and benefits of offering a hybrid research methods course format. 3- Distance Education: Linking Traditional Classroom Rehabilitation Counseling Students with their Colleagues Using Hybrid Learning Models.

Reconciling the Complexity of Human Development With the Reality of Legal Policy Reply to Fischer, Stein, and Heikkinen (2009) Laurence Steinberg Temple University Elizabeth Cauffman University of California, Irvine Jennifer Woolard Georgetown University Sandra Graham University of California, Los Angeles Marie Banich University of Colorado The authors respond to both the general and specific concerns raised in Fischer, Stein, and Heikkinen’s (2009) commentary on their article (Steinberg, Cauffman, Wool- ard, Graham, & Banich, 2009), in which they drew on studies of adolescent development to justify the American Psychological Association’s positions in two Supreme Court cases involving the construction of legal age boundaries. In response to Fischer et al.’s general concern that the construction of bright-line age boundaries is inconsis- tent with the fact that development is multifaceted, variable across individuals, and contextually conditioned, the authors argue that the only logical alternative suggested by that perspective is impractical and unhelpful in a legal context. In response to Fischer et al.’s specific concerns that their conclusion about the differential timetables of cognitive and psychosocial maturity is merely an artifact of the variables, measures, and methods they used, the authors argue that, unlike the alternatives suggested by Fi- scher et al., their choices are aligned with the specific capacities under consideration in the two cases. The authors reaffirm their position that there is considerable empirical evidence that adolescents demonstrate adult levels of cognitive capability several years before they evince adult levels of psychosocial maturity. Keywords: policy, science, adolescent development, chro- nological age In our article (Steinberg, Cauffman, Woolard, Graham,& Banich, 2009, this issue), we asked whether therewas scientific justification for the different positions taken by the American Psychological Association (APA) in two related Supreme Court cases—Hodgson v. Minnesota (1990; a case concerning minors’ competence to make independent decisions about abortion, in which APA argued that adolescents were just as mature as adults) and Roper v. Simmons (2005; a case about the constitutionality of the juvenile death penalty, in which APA argued that adolescents were not as mature as adults). On the basis of our reading of the extant literature in developmental psy- chology, as well as findings from a recent study of our own, we concluded that the capabilities relevant to judging individuals’ competence to make autonomous decisions about abortion reach adult levels of maturity earlier than do capabilities relevant to assessments of criminal culpability, and that it was therefore reasonable to draw different age boundaries between adolescents and adults in each instance. In their commentary on our article, Fischer, Stein, and Heikkinen (2009, this issue) raised both general and spe- cif ...

Reexamine the three topics you picked last week and summarized. Now, break out each case into a list of ethical and legal considerations that might help to analyze each case—summarize the considerations in two paragraphs for each case. For each case, also ask one legal and one ethical question that might present. Consider the principles of ethics from Week 1 and the laws addressed this week. You should also use outside references to dig deeper into each case for your list. 3 topics identified in paper below from last week · The Principal of Justice · Autonomy · Non-maleficence Health Care Ethics Health care ethics is a set of beliefs, moral principles and values that guide health care centers and related institutions to make choices with regard to medical care. Some health ethics include: respect for autonomy, justice and non-maleficence (Percival, 1849). The principle of justice in health care ensures that there is respect for people’s rights, fair distribution of health resources and respect for laws that are morally acceptable. There are mainly two elements in this principle; equity and equality. Equity ensure that are all cases have equal access to treatment regardless of the patients’ status in ethnic background, age, sexuality, legal capacity, disability, insurance cover or any other discriminating factors. It is important to study this ethical issue of justice since there have been an increasing report of doctors and medical staff failing to administer certain treatment services to certain kind of patients. Consequently, there have been debates in countries such as the UK over the refusal to give expensive treatment to patients who are likely to benefit from the treatment but cannot afford it. One ethical in the principle of justice is as to whether the health care center is creating an environment for sensible and fair use of health care resources and no particular type of patients are shun away or stigmatized. The legal question is whether the health care center is breaking the law against inequality and discrimination particularly racism, tribalism, gender insensitivity and other discrimination noted and prohibited in the country’s constitution. The second area of health care ethics is respect for autonomy. Autonomy means self-determination or self-rule. Hence, this principle stipulates that one should be allowed to direct their health life according to their personal rationale. The patients have a right to determine their own destiny freely and independently as well as having their decision respected (Pollard, 1993). This principle is important for study because not many people would not want to be treated as those with dementia; a disease involving loss of mental power. Many people are afraid of the prospect of not being able to decide their own fate and exercise self-determination. An ethical question in this principle of respect for autonomy is whether the health care center ensures that the patient is provided with ...

Click image to launch video Q: Chapter 15 includes a new comparative discussion on the aftermath of slavery in various Western Hemisphere societies. You see important commonalities in the struggle over land and labor in post-Emancipation societies. How do you situate the experiences of former slaves in the United States in this borrowed content. A: Well, just as slavery was a hemispheric institution, so was emancipation. It’s useful for us in thinking about the aftermath of slavery in the United States, the Reconstruction era and after to see what happened to other slaves in places where slavery was abolished. What you see is a similar set of issues and conquests taking place everywhere slaves desire land of their own—this is the No. 1 thing, they want autonomy, they want independence from white control. All of these regions are agricultural, everywhere former slaves demand land. In some places they get land fairly effectively, like in Jamaica, West Indies, where there’s a lot of unoccupied land they can take. In some places they don’t, but that battle to who’s going to have access to land and economic resources is a commonality in the aftermath of slavery. So too is the effort of local plantation owners trying to get the plantation going again and to force slaves to work back on the plantations, or if not, to bring labor from somewhere else—in the West Indies they bring workers from China, from India, from southeast Asia to replace slaves who were moving off on land of their own. They can’t quite do that in the United States—they tried to bring ...

Record, Jeffrey. "The Mystery Of Pearl Harbor." Military History 28.5 (2012): 28-39.Academic Search Complete. Web. 10 Dec. 2013. According to the article "The Mystery of Pearl Harbor," it briefly examines the reason why Japan starts a war with the United States. On December 7th, 1941, Japan with about 182 aircrafts from the first assault invade U.S. Pacific fleet of Pearl Harbor. Japan's ultimate goal was to overthrow East Asia. The main point of this article is mainly for Japan's goal for economic security and determined to achieve their goal to conquer East Asia. Moreover, they wouldn't let U.S. stop them. Japan was humiliated to be dependent on the United States, including American imported oil. Ultimately, they fought a war that could not won since U.S. was more superior. United States outproduce Japan in every category of ammunition and armaments. If someone were to ask me what this article was about, I would say that this article is an inevitable defeat from Japan. I believe this source was definitely helpful. This article made me realize how important Pearl Harbor is. If anything, we could have lost to the Japanese and everything would change. Personally, I believe our army played a significant role during the war between Japan and United States. I believe that this source is reliable. This source can be slightly biased because in the article, it says “If the Pacific War was inevitable, was not Japan's crushing defeat as well? If so, then why did Japan start a war that, as British strategist Colin Gray has argued, it "was always going to lose?” This article can clearly be used for a American history classes. Several of the first paragraphs include a clear understanding and a great topic for students to discuss. This would benefit students who does not know anything about Pearl Harbor. This would be appropriate for students to realize what America has been through during the 1940’s. I admit I now have a better understanding of Pearl Harbor, this article enhanced my perspective and changed the way I view it. Hanyok, Robert J. "The Pearl Harbor Warning That Never Was." Naval History 23.2 (2009): 50-53. Academic Search Complete. Web. 11 Dec. 2013. This article particularly argues that Americans believe that the surprising attack from Japan Navy planes could not have happened without some sort of conspiracy or warning. Without a doubt, Americans thought that U.S. political and military leaders kept this serious warning from Pearl Harbor’s commanders. Furthermore, the National Security Agency Documentary, “West Wind Clear seemed to be not found. Robert Hanyok’s attempted to clear up the issue and as a result, the warning for the chief Navy doe- breaker was just a figment of his imagination. I believe that this article offers reliable sources. Hanyok provides source documents for historical scholars and researchers. This article was extremely helpful due to the controversy with the “West Wind Clear. The goal of this article was basically des ...

Recognize Strengths and Appreciate Differences Personality Dimensions® is the latest evolution in presenting Personality Temperament Theory. It builds on research conducted in Canada over a period or two decades, and the foundations established by the work of Carl Jung, David Keirsey, Linda Berens, as well as a history of Temperament that spans 25 centuries. The Personality Dimensions® system utilizes a convenient card sort and short questionnaire to reveal personality preferences. In addition to being the first Temperament assessment to incorporate the Introversion/Extraversion dichotomy, Personality Dimensions® also uses four colours along with short descriptors and symbols to represent the Temperament preferences: Inquiring Green, Organized Gold, Authentic Blue, Resourceful Orange. These combined aspects create a common language of understanding with a high level of retention.Know your Personality Dimensions to... · · Express yourself appropriately · Appreciate yourself & others · Negotiate more effectively · Narrow gaps and differences · Identify potential problems early · Elevate morale and enthusiasm · Optimize team performance · Support and encourage others · Organize efficient teams · Yield higher productivity · Influence others positively Analyzing Personality Demensions: Introverts: · Tend to get their energy by spending some time alone. · Prefer to think things through in their head before sharing their ideas with the larger group.
