Here is a draft statement of teaching philosophy based on the provided prompt:
My teaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that effective teaching is as much about learning as it is about imparting knowledge. As Tagore eloquently stated, a teacher must keep their own flame of learning burning in order to light that flame within students. It is through active engagement with course material, ongoing reflection and improvement, and a genuine curiosity about each student's learning process that I strive to create an enriching educational experience.
My goal in the classroom is not only to convey information, but also to inspire students to think critically and develop a lifelong passion for learning. I aim to foster a collaborative environment where students feel empowered to explore ideas, respectfully
Case study(India international business environment )Amit Sarkar
A major industrial accident occurred in 1984 at a Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India, exposing over 500,000 people to toxic gases. Official reports state the leak caused over 38,000 injuries and around 3,900 people were left severely and permanently disabled. Soil and water samples around the plant contained toxic chemicals like mercury, lead, and chlorobenzenes far exceeding safe levels. The Indian government provided $470 million in compensation to victims, but many view this and the government's rehabilitation efforts as inadequate given the massive health and environmental impacts of the disaster caused by Union Carbide's negligence around safety and chemical storage that led to the lethal gas leak.
The document provides information about methyl isocyanate, including its physical and chemical properties, health and environmental hazards, fire data, applications, and details about the Bhopal disaster.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are toxic chemicals that are persistent in the environment. They were widely used commercially from the 1920s until being banned in 1977 due to their health and environmental effects. PCBs bioaccumulate in animals and humans, and increasing chlorine substitutions generally leads to greater toxicity. While production has ceased, PCBs remain an environmental problem due to their persistence and presence in products and buildings. Remediation of contaminated sites is ongoing to reduce further health impacts.

PrejudiceAlthough related, stereotypes and prejudice are separ.docxIRESH3
Prejudice
Although related, stereotypes and prejudice are separate entities.
Prejudice
is holding negative feelings for a group of people, or even a particular person, and is often considered the “emotional component to intergroup attitudes” (Levy & Hughes, 2009, p. 24). As mentioned in the previous week,
stereotyping
is the “cognitive process of intergroup attitudes,” generally referring to associating attributes to a particular group (Levy & Hughes, 2009, p. 24). The presence of stereotypes or intergroup bias leads to prejudiced behavior in some instances. When prejudice behavior does occur, the individual’s emotional response often plays a role.
For this Discussion, review the media
Prejudice
and consider how the emotions and stereotyping of the people in the media impacted their prejudiced behavior.

With these thoughts in mind:

a brief interpretation of the events in the media. Then, describe any prejudiced behavior you observed and explain two ways the emotions of hte people in the media may have impacted their prejudiced behavior and why. Next, explain how the prejudice you observed in the media reinforced or disconfirmed stereotype content. Finally, explain how this information helps us understand the maintenance of group attitudes over time and situation.

Running head: THE EFFECTS OF POPULATION DENSITY AND NOISE The Effects of Population Density and Noise
Renu Kumar
PSY/460
November 3, 2013 Christine Hander The
Effects of Population Density and Noise Population density and noise
can have many
effects
on individuals.
Population density
is
the
amount
of
people, which live in a particular area. Along with population density, comes noise; noise is typically an unwanted distraction. In this paper the subject to discuss is
the concepts of territoriality, privacy, and personal space; examine how the concepts of territoriality, privacy, and personal space have become increasingly important as
populations become
denser; clarify the effect nature has on individuals living in urban environments, describe the concept of noise and examine the effect it has on individuals; and examine strategies that can be used to reduce noise in the workplace or in the living environment. Concepts of
Territoriality,
Privacy, and Personal Space
Territories are areas
marked and defended by
their owners
and
often
used for life- sustaining activities
(Territoriality, 2004). The most common example of a person's territory would be his or her home because one tends to personalize and defend what is theirs. A person identifies themselves with his or her territory and any threat to that territory feels like a threat to themselves (Territoriality, 2004). A person feels connected to his or her territory and sees it as a means to satisfying his or her needs within society. Privacy is the selective control of access to oneself and group (Privacy, 2004). A person has the ability to decide who to allow in his or her territory or personal space. A person's
personal space
describes
the emotionally tinged zone around the .

Precedents Set By George Washington
George Washington was aware that many of his actions would be regarded as precedents. Here are three precedents that Washington established:
Washington created the first Presidential Cabinet. Who was on the Cabinet, and what Departments did they represent? Who is on the Cabinet today, and what Departments do they represent?
Washington was the first President to leave office after two terms. Is that precedent still followed today? Why or why not?
Washington was the first to establish foreign policy, and issued the Proclamation of Neutrality. What situation did this proclamation address? What agency advises the President on foreign policy today? What is the role of this agency?

Prejudice, Stereotypes, and DiscriminationIn many cases, prejudice.docxIRESH3
Prejudice, Stereotypes, and Discrimination
In many cases, prejudice stems from the unknown. As individuals, we tend to migrate toward those who may look like us, act like us, and think like us. As a result, it may be difficult for us to open our minds and embrace those whose values, beliefs, and overall sense of self differ from our own.
For this assignment, compose a paper that is three to four pages in length. In your paper, discuss the impacts of prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination in the context of social psychology. Be sure to address the following points:
1. Define and describe the following terms: prejudice, stereotype, discrimination, and ingroup vs. outgroup. Based on your own experiences in the social world, can you relate to any of these terms? Do you identify with a particular term? Why or why not?
2. Examine the social, cognitive, and societal origins of prejudice and stereotypes. Be sure to include specific information regarding categorization, such as ingroup favoritism and the outgroup homogeneity effect, norms, competition for resources, and social inequalities. Of the categories presented, which do you think are the most significant in our society and in your particular community?
3. Analyze the influences that promote stereotyping, and offer strategies to reduce prejudice. What are the consequences of stereotyping and discrimination? Who does this behavior hurt, and in what ways does it hurt them? Are we inadvertently creating self-fulfilling prophecies in our society? If so, how can we take steps to improve attitudes, judgments, and behaviors?
Your paper must include an introduction, a thesis statement, and a conclusion. Your completed assignment should be three to four pages in length (excluding title and reference pages), include a minimum of three references, and follow APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
