Bank of America plans to cut about 300 jobs in its investment banking and capital markets group as it struggles with weak revenue growth. The layoffs are smaller than cuts to retail banking jobs. Junior bankers will also have broader responsibilities, which could lead to further cuts. The cuts are part of a cost-cutting initiative known as "Project New BAC" aimed at improving profits as the economy weighs on revenues and regulations increase costs. The first phase aims to cut 30,000 jobs and $5 billion in costs over several years in consumer and tech areas. Plans for a second phase covering other areas will be finalized in May.
Tasks Design Project
This task is designed for a Spanish/English contrastive analysis course taken by undergraduate language students at Universidad de Caldas in Colombia. The task involves analyzing parallel English and Spanish news articles about increasing economic ties between Chile and the US. Students will first do a macro-linguistic analysis comparing discourse and audience between the two texts. They will then do a micro-linguistic analysis comparing English and Spanish adjective concordance and placement in sentences from the articles. The goal is to have students apply their understanding of English-Spanish grammatical contrasts.
Mexican history pp
During Spanish colonial rule in Mexico, large estates called haciendas emerged on land seized from indigenous peoples. The Spanish landowners, or conquistadors, forced Native Americans to work on the haciendas for low wages and stripped them of most of their land. This system established social castes based on race that determined one's status. After independence, conservative elites who wanted to maintain the colonial system clashed with liberals seeking land reform and greater rights for indigenous Mexicans and mestizos. The legacy of colonial land seizures and inequality continued to shape conflicts over land and political power in independent Mexico.

Labor market integration between northen méxico and southern united statesCuerpo Academico Temas Contemporáneos de Teoría Económica y Economía Internacional
This paper analyzes the labor market integration between northern Mexico and southern United States by estimating cyclical components of manufacturing employment in California, Texas, and four Mexican border cities. The analysis suggests greater integration after 1994, with a change in the short-term relationship between Mexican and US manufacturing employment and real wages. The paper estimates trend components using a calibration technique for the Hodrick-Prescott filter, and divides the analysis period into pre- and post-1994 to reflect changes stemming from Mexico's 1994 financial crisis and implementation of NAFTA.Student study guide
This document is a study guide for an economics final exam covering four units: the fundamental economic problem, factors of production and economic systems; microeconomics concepts including demand, supply, and market structures; government finances including taxes and expenditures; and macroeconomics topics such as GDP, business cycles, unemployment, and monetary policy. It provides definitions, concepts and terms to review for the exam across these units in economics.
Why mexico-reform-not-growth
This document summarizes a working paper that examines why Mexico's economic growth has been modest following economic reforms in the 1980s that opened the country to trade and foreign investment, while China experienced rapid growth. The paper reviews literature on the relationship between openness and growth. While some studies find a positive link, the evidence is mixed. The paper aims to identify factors that may have impeded growth in Mexico but not China in order to explain their different growth experiences after opening up.

The United States has a long history of policy efforts to fight drug trafficking and cartel violence in Mexico, most recently through the Merida Initiative in 2008. However, increasing drug-related violence in Mexico over the last decade suggests that existing foreign policies require reconsideration and increased attention under the new administration. By redirecting emphasis to promoting fair bilateral trade and institutional change instead of simply funding Mexican militarization, U.S. foreign policy can combat the underlying economic and social conditions of the narcotics crisis, attacking the problem at the root. Continuing to aid Mexico rather than estrange it will yield positive economic benefits for both nations, strengthen the United States’ geopolitical power, and reinforce the United States’ role as a global humanitarian leader.
American counternarcotic operations stretching back to Operation Intercept in 1969 have traditionally emphasized military action as a response to Mexican drug violence. However, due to inherent corruption within Mexican enforcement agencies and deteriorating socioeconomic conditions, the drug industry actually grew in spite of crackdowns on drug trade and kingpin arrests. The Merida Initiative, like its predecessors, focused the bulk of its aid on arming and training Mexican security forces without first resolving the fundamental issues that fuel the growth of the illegal drug business. Continuing to pursue such a strategy of fighting drug trafficking at the surface level without addressing its root causes is an illogical approach that has been proven by time and experience to yield few lasting results.
The traditional approach to counternarcotic policy has resulted in the costly, suboptimal allocation of financial aid and resources. In the years from 2007 to 2010, nearly 72% of U.S. assistance under the Merida Initiative went towards funding military and security expenses, particularly training and equipment for enforcement agencies (Carpenter). In contrast, only $15 million of the approximate $1.6 billion funding provided went towards initiatives supporting “anticorruption, transparency, and human rights” (Carpenter, 142). Instead of funneling resources into wasteful and ultimately unproductive firepower endeavors, U.S. policymakers can instead promote social and economic initiatives that address persistent problems like government corruption and poverty, factors that continually drive poor citizens into the narcotics business and reinforce their influence.
Though the current administration is considering the revocation and repurposing of Merida funds for border wall construction, continuing to provide Mexico with aid in fighting drug trafficking is actually in the United States’ economic and security interests (Gardiner and Semple). Mexico has consis.

Time to ditch the mexican stereotypes - Financial Times
The document discusses Mexico's economic performance compared to the United States. It summarizes that Mexico recovered rapidly from the global financial crisis, with GDP and industrial production surpassing pre-recession levels faster than the US. Mexico also has lower budget deficits and national debt than the US. The document argues Mexico has achieved macroeconomic stability through fiscal and monetary reforms, including an independent central bank focused on low inflation. In contrast, US policymakers appear unable to implement necessary fiscal reforms to restore confidence and growth.
Final PAE-5
This document analyzes productivity growth in the Mexican states of Oaxaca and Veracruz. It finds that Oaxaca suffers from low productivity across all industries, while Veracruz's issues are more concentrated in specific low-productivity sectors. Education is identified as the main constraint holding back productivity in Oaxaca. The study then uses economic complexity analysis to identify promising industries for each state to diversify into for higher productivity, and provides policy recommendations to develop capabilities needed in priority sectors.

Economics 1st chapter
This chapter introduces economics and distinguishes between microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics seeks to understand what goods are produced, how they are produced, and who gets them. Macroeconomics focuses on determining the standard of living, cost of living, and reasons for economic fluctuations. The economic way of thinking emphasizes scarcity, choice, tradeoffs and opportunity costs. Economists make positive statements using observation, models, and theories to understand economic behavior.

Using aggregate supply and demand analysis, discuss how the following will affect the aggregate level of output and the price level in the economy. Use a SRAS curve. You need to determine whether the AD or SRAS curve will shift, in which direction it will shift, and how this will affect aggregate output and the price level.
a. A hurricane that destroys half the supply of goods produced in Florida.
b. An increase in the money supply.
Question 6
1.
If the required reserve ratio is 10% and $1,000 of new bank reserves are created by the Federal Reserve, what is the maximum potential increase in the quantity of money in the economic system (not just the money created by the banking system but the total money supply)? Why might the money supply not increase by the maximum possible amount? Make sure you show your calculations and answer both parts of this question. Use the following equation to answer this question:
Maximum Potential Increase in the Money Supply = (1/r) x Monetary Base, where r is the required reserve ratio.

Financial Regulation: Lessson from the Recent Financial Crises
This document summarizes two key lessons from the recent financial crises in the United States and Japan. First, both crises showed that the lack of an orderly resolution mechanism for large, complex financial institutions created serious problems and exacerbated the "too big to fail" issue. Second, the crises highlighted the importance of distinguishing between the health of individual financial institutions and the overall stability of the entire financial system. The author argues that future financial regulations should address these issues.
Farfan mares mexicoscurse-final
This document summarizes Gabriel Farfán-Mares' article "Mexico's Curse" which argues that although Mexico has recovered economically from downturns by leveraging trade with the US, its long reliance on oil revenues to fund the government has created a "rentier state" with weak taxation and poor public policy outcomes. While oil booms can support growth, Mexico's oil dependency has undermined development by reducing the tax base, bloating public spending, and detaching the state from the needs of the private sector and economy. To transition to a more productive model, Mexico must reduce its dependence on oil funds as revenues decline.
The global financial crisis
The document discusses the sluggish economic recovery in the US despite massive monetary expansion by the Federal Reserve. It provides the following key points:
1) Most of the money from quantitative easing programs has remained as excess reserves held by banks at the Federal Reserve rather than flowing into the real economy or increasing bank lending.
2) Money supply has grown but credit growth and velocity of money remain low, restraining economic growth.
3) Investment remains subdued due increased uncertainty from issues like the ongoing Eurozone crisis.
4) Infrastructure investment is proposed as an alternative driver of growth and employment given the lagging housing sector recovery.
31564360 options-for-managing-a-systemic-banking-crisis-by-lietaer-ulanowicz-...
This document discusses options for managing systemic banking crises. It argues that the ongoing financial crisis results from a structural failure of prioritizing efficiency over diversity and resilience in the monetary and financial systems. Conventional solutions like nationalizing toxic assets or banks only address symptoms and not the underlying causes. The document proposes complementing conventional currencies with alternative currencies that are designed to increase money availability for exchange and link unused resources with unmet needs. These complementary currencies could help stabilize the economy and ensure future crises are avoided.
Arial Case
This document analyzes Pepsico's business position in Mexico in the late 1990s. It describes how Pepsico and Coca-Cola competed fiercely for market share in Latin America between 1993-1996. While Pepsico initially had success through its bottling partner, by 1996 Coca-Cola had won the "cola war" in Latin America. The document then details Pepsico's strategies in Mexico from 1993 onward to expand its market share through its bottling partner Gemex, but explains how a series of missteps caused it to lose substantial share to Coca-Cola.

Great Recession
The document discusses the causes, effects, and outcomes of the Great Recession that began in 2007. It explores the role of the housing market, subprime loans, credit default swaps, and monetary policy in causing the crisis. The recession significantly impacted the United States, Europe, and global economies. While government actions sought to address the crisis, more may need to be done to prevent future recessions.
Economics
Economics is the study of how people and societies make choices about production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. It explains phenomena like rising food costs when gas prices increase and why countries and politicians worry about bankruptcy. Economics looks at how individuals and groups interact in markets to satisfy wants and needs. It is divided into microeconomics, which examines individual agents and markets, and macroeconomics, which looks at aggregates and the overall economy.

The lesson includes activities for students to research past election maps and results, learn about the electoral college system, examine political parties and ideologies, analyze the history of voting rights, and compare 2012 presidential candidates Obama and Romney. Students are encouraged to get engaged with current elections by following candidates and issues.
Social identity theory & MLK
Social identity theory proposes that people derive part of their self-concept from group memberships. It explains how social categorization and comparisons between in-groups and out-groups impact behavior. Several studies discussed provide evidence for this, such as Tajfel's finding that random groupings led to in-group favoritism, and research showing that threats to social identity increase stress levels and derogation of out-groups. However, the theory also has limitations, as some studies had low ecological validity or did not fully account for factors like poverty. Overall, social identity theory effectively explains phenomena like in-group bias, conformity, and intergroup conflict, though more research is still needed.
Memory pp
Schemas influence memory formation and retrieval in several ways. Bartlett (1932) found that British participants assimilated and distorted a story to fit their cultural schemas over repeated retellings. Johnson and Bayford (1972) showed that providing a laundry schema before a paragraph improved recall versus no schema. Brewer and Treyens (1981) found schemas aided recall of typical office items but atypical items like a skull were also recalled. Allport and Postman (1947) showed racial schemas distorted a story's retelling between white and black participants. Overall, schemas act as filters that organize new information and reconstruct memories to fit existing knowledge structures.
Loftus and memory pp
This document discusses several studies that demonstrate how memory can be unreliable and manipulated. The Loftus and Palmer (1974) study showed that using different words to ask about a car crash led participants to estimate different speeds. Later studies showed how false memories could be implanted about experiences like hot air balloon rides. Even memories of stressful events like interrogations were found to be vulnerable to misinformation. These studies highlight how human memory reconstructs rather than perfectly recalls experiences, and is influenced by new information.
Flashbulb Memories
Flashbulb memories are highly vivid memories of learning about a shocking or emotional event. Early studies found that people had accurate memories of the context and their reactions to significant events like the JFK assassination. However, later studies found that flashbulb memories lack consistency and accuracy over time, even if confidence in the memories remains high. While emotional events may be more memorable initially, repeated testing has shown that flashbulb memories are reconstructive and details can change substantially within a few years of the event.

The United States has a long history of policy efforts to fight drug trafficking and cartel violence in Mexico, most recently through the Merida Initiative in 2008. However, increasing drug-related violence in Mexico over the last decade suggests that existing foreign policies require reconsideration and increased attention under the new administration. By redirecting emphasis to promoting fair bilateral trade and institutional change instead of simply funding Mexican militarization, U.S. foreign policy can combat the underlying economic and social conditions of the narcotics crisis, attacking the problem at the root. Continuing to aid Mexico rather than estrange it will yield positive economic benefits for both nations, strengthen the United States’ geopolitical power, and reinforce the United States’ role as a global humanitarian leader.
American counternarcotic operations stretching back to Operation Intercept in 1969 have traditionally emphasized military action as a response to Mexican drug violence. However, due to inherent corruption within Mexican enforcement agencies and deteriorating socioeconomic conditions, the drug industry actually grew in spite of crackdowns on drug trade and kingpin arrests. The Merida Initiative, like its predecessors, focused the bulk of its aid on arming and training Mexican security forces without first resolving the fundamental issues that fuel the growth of the illegal drug business. Continuing to pursue such a strategy of fighting drug trafficking at the surface level without addressing its root causes is an illogical approach that has been proven by time and experience to yield few lasting results.
The traditional approach to counternarcotic policy has resulted in the costly, suboptimal allocation of financial aid and resources. In the years from 2007 to 2010, nearly 72% of U.S. assistance under the Merida Initiative went towards funding military and security expenses, particularly training and equipment for enforcement agencies (Carpenter). In contrast, only $15 million of the approximate $1.6 billion funding provided went towards initiatives supporting “anticorruption, transparency, and human rights” (Carpenter, 142). Instead of funneling resources into wasteful and ultimately unproductive firepower endeavors, U.S. policymakers can instead promote social and economic initiatives that address persistent problems like government corruption and poverty, factors that continually drive poor citizens into the narcotics business and reinforce their influence.
Though the current administration is considering the revocation and repurposing of Merida funds for border wall construction, continuing to provide Mexico with aid in fighting drug trafficking is actually in the United States’ economic and security interests (Gardiner and Semple). Mexico has consis.

Time to ditch the mexican stereotypes - Financial Times
The document discusses Mexico's economic performance compared to the United States. It summarizes that Mexico recovered rapidly from the global financial crisis, with GDP and industrial production surpassing pre-recession levels faster than the US. Mexico also has lower budget deficits and national debt than the US. The document argues Mexico has achieved macroeconomic stability through fiscal and monetary reforms, including an independent central bank focused on low inflation. In contrast, US policymakers appear unable to implement necessary fiscal reforms to restore confidence and growth.

ECO 203 Week 1 DQ 1 Economics Systems
Economics 1st chapter
This chapter introduces economics and distinguishes between microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics seeks to understand what goods are produced, how they are produced, and who gets them. Macroeconomics focuses on determining the standard of living, cost of living, and reasons for economic fluctuations. The economic way of thinking emphasizes scarcity, choice, tradeoffs and opportunity costs. Economists make positive statements using observation, models, and theories to understand economic behavior.

Financial Regulation: Lessson from the Recent Financial Crises
This document summarizes two key lessons from the recent financial crises in the United States and Japan. First, both crises showed that the lack of an orderly resolution mechanism for large, complex financial institutions created serious problems and exacerbated the "too big to fail" issue. Second, the crises highlighted the importance of distinguishing between the health of individual financial institutions and the overall stability of the entire financial system. The author argues that future financial regulations should address these issues.
Farfan mares mexicoscurse-final
This document summarizes Gabriel Farfán-Mares' article "Mexico's Curse" which argues that although Mexico has recovered economically from downturns by leveraging trade with the US, its long reliance on oil revenues to fund the government has created a "rentier state" with weak taxation and poor public policy outcomes. While oil booms can support growth, Mexico's oil dependency has undermined development by reducing the tax base, bloating public spending, and detaching the state from the needs of the private sector and economy. To transition to a more productive model, Mexico must reduce its dependence on oil funds as revenues decline.
The global financial crisis
The document discusses the sluggish economic recovery in the US despite massive monetary expansion by the Federal Reserve. It provides the following key points:
1) Most of the money from quantitative easing programs has remained as excess reserves held by banks at the Federal Reserve rather than flowing into the real economy or increasing bank lending.
2) Money supply has grown but credit growth and velocity of money remain low, restraining economic growth.
3) Investment remains subdued due increased uncertainty from issues like the ongoing Eurozone crisis.
4) Infrastructure investment is proposed as an alternative driver of growth and employment given the lagging housing sector recovery.
31564360 options-for-managing-a-systemic-banking-crisis-by-lietaer-ulanowicz-...
This document discusses options for managing systemic banking crises. It argues that the ongoing financial crisis results from a structural failure of prioritizing efficiency over diversity and resilience in the monetary and financial systems. Conventional solutions like nationalizing toxic assets or banks only address symptoms and not the underlying causes. The document proposes complementing conventional currencies with alternative currencies that are designed to increase money availability for exchange and link unused resources with unmet needs. These complementary currencies could help stabilize the economy and ensure future crises are avoided.
Arial Case
This document analyzes Pepsico's business position in Mexico in the late 1990s. It describes how Pepsico and Coca-Cola competed fiercely for market share in Latin America between 1993-1996. While Pepsico initially had success through its bottling partner, by 1996 Coca-Cola had won the "cola war" in Latin America. The document then details Pepsico's strategies in Mexico from 1993 onward to expand its market share through its bottling partner Gemex, but explains how a series of missteps caused it to lose substantial share to Coca-Cola.

Great Recession
The document discusses the causes, effects, and outcomes of the Great Recession that began in 2007. It explores the role of the housing market, subprime loans, credit default swaps, and monetary policy in causing the crisis. The recession significantly impacted the United States, Europe, and global economies. While government actions sought to address the crisis, more may need to be done to prevent future recessions.
Economics
Economics is the study of how people and societies make choices about production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. It explains phenomena like rising food costs when gas prices increase and why countries and politicians worry about bankruptcy. Economics looks at how individuals and groups interact in markets to satisfy wants and needs. It is divided into microeconomics, which examines individual agents and markets, and macroeconomics, which looks at aggregates and the overall economy.

While emotional events may be more memorable initially, repeated testing has shown that flashbulb memories are reconstructive and details can change substantially within a few years of the event.
Stereotypes 2018
This document discusses stereotypes from several perspectives:
1. It defines stereotypes as generalizations made about groups that get applied to individuals. Several theories on the origins of stereotypes are presented, including social categorization and the "grain of truth" hypothesis.
2. Research is summarized that shows how holding stereotypes can impact perceptions and expectations of others. Studies demonstrate stereotypes influence judgments of intelligence and ability.
3. Additional research shows how knowing stereotypes exist about one's own group can negatively impact performance through "stereotype threat."
4. The document ends by reviewing studies on ways stereotypes may be overcome, such as exposing children to counter-stereotypical media portrayals and increasing awareness of implicit biases
Decision making
The document discusses two theories of decision making: the dual processing theory which describes two modes of thinking - fast/automatic and slow/deliberate, and the mindset theory which describes having either a growth or fixed mindset that impacts decisions. Research on the dual processing theory uses methods like brain imaging to study risky decision making in adolescents versus adults, while research on mindset theory uses interventions and surveys to study the relationship between mindset and academic achievement. The two theories differ in their focus on types of thinking and the types of evidence used to support them through research.
Genetics & Epigenetics
The document discusses genetics and its impact on human behavior. It begins by defining behavioral genetics and inheritance patterns. It then summarizes several twin and gene studies that examine the role of genetics in antisocial behavior. The studies found genetics account for about 50% of variations in antisocial behavior. The document also discusses the role of epigenetics in influencing gene expression and behavior based on environmental factors and parental experiences. In particular, it examines how stress and enriched environments in parents can lead to epigenetic changes that impact offspring behavior.
Social cognitive theory power point
Social Cognitive Theory explains how humans learn behavior through observational learning. This learning is shaped by cognition, environment, and reinforcement. Key aspects of SCT include modeling behaviors, self-efficacy, and outcome expectancies. Studies show children learn aggression from observing adult models, and children's aggression can be predicted by their self-efficacy and expectations of rewards for aggression. Monkey studies also show animals learn behaviors from their mothers.
Genetics & Antisocial Behavior
Genes contribute to about half of individual variations in antisocial behavior, according to twin studies. While genes may increase predisposition, they do not determine behavior alone. Studies found genetics account for 50% of antisocial behavior, but less impact for separated twins, showing environment also influences behavior. Research links low-activity MAOA genes interacting with childhood trauma to increased violence, suggesting genetics and environment combine to impact antisocial behavior.
Ethics 2018
This document discusses the ethical standards psychologists must follow when conducting research. It outlines the six main standards: informed consent, avoiding deception, protecting participants from harm, right to withdraw, debriefing, and confidentiality. The standards aim to protect human and animal participants. Researchers are required to receive informed consent, avoid or minimize deception, prevent physical and psychological harm, allow participants to withdraw at any time, debrief participants on the true purpose and any deception after the study, and keep participants' identities confidential.
Psychology Methodology
The document outlines the key steps and components of designing a research study in psychology, including developing an aim, methodology, and analyzing findings and conclusions. It discusses developing an aim that identifies the independent and dependent variables and target population. For methodology, it describes important considerations like participants/sampling, control conditions, design, validity, and reliability. It then covers specific methodology elements like treatment and control groups, repeated measures vs independent sample designs, reliability, and threats to internal and external validity.
Preventing violence
This document discusses several strategies for reducing violence and their relative effectiveness:
1) Self-control exercises, such as using only one hand for tasks, were found to decrease aggressive behavior for those who practiced them compared to a control group.
2) A yoga program in prisons resulted in increased self-control and less reported aggressiveness among inmates compared to a control group.
3) Teaching children empathy and perspective-taking skills led to less aggressive playground behavior than a control group.
4) However, anti-bullying programs in schools were found to be ineffective and possibly increased peer victimization.

Intro to psychological research cell phones
This document provides guidance on researching and forming an argument about whether cell phone use should be allowed in the classroom. It instructs students to brainstorm questions on the topic, categorize questions as open-ended or closed-ended, prioritize the most important questions, and find evidence from assigned readings to answer the questions. Students are then directed to create an argumentative thesis stating their claim and reasons, outline their argument with reasons and evidence, and analyze what types of evidence they are using to build their argument's credibility, engage emotions, or rely on logic.
Stress pp ib psych
This document discusses stress and its effects on the body and brain. It summarizes several studies that show: 1) Chronic stress can reduce the volume of the hippocampus and impair memory; 2) Chronic stress can weaken neurons in the frontal lobe and hippocampus while strengthening the amygdala; 3) High levels of the stress hormone cortisol can negatively impact memory, while moderate levels do not; 4) Children exposed to stress and violence who have high or low cortisol levels show delayed cognitive development compared to those with moderate levels.
Psychology of magic
This document discusses the psychology of magic and attention. It includes examples of magic tricks and research on attention. Magicians are able to manipulate attention and perception to create illusions. Students learn a magic trick, explaining how it relates to attention and perception, and compete to "fool" their teacher. Understanding attention and perception can change how we see the world and human behavior.
Intro to sports psychology, motivation, & goal setting
This document discusses various topics related to sports psychology, including motivation, goal setting, and debates around high school athletics. It provides definitions and examples of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, as well as outlines for setting SMART goals. Students are prompted to reflect on their personal motivations and choose a sport/activity to focus on when discussing these psychology principles.
Sports psychology strategies
This document discusses several mental strategies that can help improve performance for competitions and life challenges. These include mental imagery, where top competitors visualize scenarios and outcomes to prepare; self-talk, using positive self-statements; personal mantras, short phrases that promote positive thinking; and controlling body language. The document encourages reflecting on weaknesses and overcoming barriers, then applying these mental techniques with specifics relevant to the individual's topic.
History of racism & portland
This document discusses the history and impacts of racism in Portland, Oregon and South Africa. It begins by defining race and racism, then outlines the origins and progression of racist ideologies and systems from the 14th century through today. Key periods discussed include the rise of slavery and colonialism between 1300-1600, the emergence of biological racism in the 19th century, and the Holocaust and civil rights movement in the 20th century. The document then examines examples of individual/interpersonal and systemic/institutional racism, and considers whether Portland exhibits racist traits through various examples and analyses. It concludes by reviewing apartheid in South Africa, the legacy of racism there today according to Trevor Noah's accounts, and ongoing issues discussed in recent news reports.
Mental illness and homelessness
This document provides an overview of learning about the connection between mental illness, homelessness, and being an ally. It includes the following key objectives: understanding how mental illness impacts homelessness issues; learning how this affects real world problems; and being able to use this information to analyze the film "The Soloist." Students are asked to record important words on these topics and create a word cloud summarizing the lesson. They are also directed to a website on keeping Oregon residents mentally well.
Genetics pp
Genes contribute to behaviors but do not determine them. Studies of twins and genes like 5-HTT and COMT show that:
- Genetics influence traits like intelligence (70%) and likelihood of depression, but environment also matters
- The 5-HTT gene predicts if one will become depressed after stressful life events
- COMT impacts stress response and test/task performance depending on allele (fast or slow acting enzyme)
However, one gene does not cause a behavior and ethics around genetic testing and research are important issues.
