You will note that in the chapter entitled "Tools of Sociology" it is clear that sociology is normally considered a "social science." However there is a great deal of sociology that fails to meet the tests required for truly scientific subject matter. Most of us assume we know what "science" IS. After all we live in a sea of it today. But do we really know what it is in an academic sense? Click on the following link for some key points about modern science from one of the author's web pages. http://www.global-college.com/rayeve/whatismodernscience.htm Note that there is a great deal of "pseudoscience" proffered today in advertising and the media. Pseudoscience has the look and feel of valid science but fails to meet one or more crucial tests for good science. To find out more click on: http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/pseudo.html Now, in your own words, distill the information from these two websites into a summary explaining how to tell the difference between good science and pseudoscience. In doing so, use at least two examples from print or other media that you think make good examples of "pseudoscience." Be sure to provide in your written answer an explanation for why you believe the two to be examples of pseudoscience (using the principles you've seen above). You may be able to find some useful examples to get you started by going to: http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/Lists_of_pseudosciences Also, explain in your answer what "greenwash" refers to. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwash IMPORTANT: Your assignment should be between 500 and 750 words. ...

The document discusses the changing landscape of academic scholarship in the digital age. New opportunities include open access publishing, altmetrics, research data management, and using social media and online platforms to collaborate and disseminate work more broadly. While technologies offer benefits, academics are advised to thoughtfully consider how and why to adopt new tools. Overall, digital tools can help increase the impact and visibility of research if used strategically.

The CDC distributed an alert notifying public health departments and healthcare facilities that SPARS cases had been reported in 26 US states and other countries. The FDA and NIH were evaluating potential treatment options, with the antiviral Kalocivir emerging as the leading candidate based on previous trials for other coronaviruses, though its efficacy and safety for SPARS was still unknown. The alert also provided guidance on personal protective equipment and clinical management of SPARS patients.
SPARS Pandemic Scenario.pdf
The document presents a hypothetical scenario set in the years 2025-2028 where a new infectious disease, called SPARS, emerges and develops into a global pandemic. In the scenario, access to information is widespread through new technologies, but society has also become highly fragmented, with isolated groups that mainly interact with those who share their own views. The scenario describes the outbreak of the SPARS virus and the challenges that arise in developing and distributing medical countermeasures, like vaccines and treatments, to the public, given the fragmented media and social landscapes. It is intended to illustrate communication dilemmas that may emerge during future public health emergencies concerning novel medical products.

Where do you get your information from?
To answer everyday questions, you turn to information that is made readily available to you at the click of a button. In today’s fast-paced world you are often bombarded with more information than any one person can handle. With the 24-hour news cycle, the media tries to capture your attention with sensational stories and catchy headlines. However, there are many other headlines that do not seem to have the widespread marketable appeal — and therefore they are largely unnoticed by the general public.
Communication of scientific results usually takes place in a peer-reviewed journal. A peer-reviewed journal is one in which other experts in the specific field read and critique the author’s article, including their research and results, before it can be published in the journal. This process is done to maintain the standards of research. To find an example of a research article that has gone through the peer-review process, use the “Biology Newsfinder” tool in the Wiley Plus® “Science in the News” resource. Access this tool through the link in the left hand navigation for this unit.
On the other hand, there are many publications that do not use peer-review, such as newspapers and magazines. These publications rely on the judgment of the editor to ensure that the material contained is appropriate and at the set standard of the publication.

This document summarizes key points from a presentation about developing a communication strategy for research groups. It discusses why having a strategy is important, which tools can be used like social media, and how and when to communicate research. It emphasizes developing an online identity and digital presence through profiles, maintaining networks, and using different tools like websites, blogs, and visual platforms to engage audiences and increase the discoverability and impact of research. The document also notes that communication takes ongoing time and effort, and suggests partnering with communication offices and identifying external stakeholders.
Don‘t be such a scientist annotated
This presentation provides a different view of science communication by not following established lines of introduction. It discusses how science communication has changed from being education-oriented to having to answer the demands of a diverse audience. Effective science communication requires understanding different communication models and parameters for success, such as not dumbing down information, being concise, and using storytelling techniques.

Science is built on trust.
Science builds on itself, and the enormous scientific progress of the last several centuries has been due largely to the trust that scientists place in one another and the trust the public places in scientists.

Part 1 Information networking as technology tools, uses, and soci.docx
Part 1: Information networking as technology: tools, uses, and socio-technical interactions
Information overload! The phrase alone is enough to strike terror into the hardiest of managers; it presages the breakdown of society as we know it and the failure of management to cope with change. The media constantly dissect the forthcoming collapse brought on by TMI ("Too Much Information"), even as they themselves pile up larger and larger dossiers on the subject, and we are frequently informed that it is our own damn fault that we are drowning in data, since we simply can't discriminate between the important stuff and everything else. Hence, the info-tsunami warning signs posted all along what we once so naively called the "information superhighway".
Of course, this is arrant nonsense -- human beings have been suffering from information overload in varying forms since about the time we hit the ground and found ourselves simultaneously running after the antelope and away from the lion. There's no question that the human mind has a limited capacity to process information, but after several million years we've gotten pretty good at figuring out how to handle a lot. The two basic tricks turn out to be distinguishing between short-term and long-term information storage, and "chunking" -- putting things in a limited number of baskets. This isn't primarily a course in the psychology of memory -- it's about information tools and systems -- but in fact the same things that make our information tools and systems work are the same things that have kept us near the antelopes and away from the lions (mostly) for the last million years or so. So we're beginning this course by thinking about information tools, what makes them like and unlike other kinds of tools, how the concept of a socio-technical system (in which social and behavioral functions shape results as much as does the technology itself) helps make sense of what we're facing, and why the technology just might win after all.
Let's start with a little historical review. Amy Blair has recently done a very intriguing summary of just why information overload isn't something that we, or still less our kids, dreamed up -- people have been drowning in data for ages regardless of the tools at their disposal:
Blair, A. (2010) Information Overload, Then and Now. The Chronicle of Higher Education Review. November 28.Retrieved November 15, 2010 from http://chronicle.com/article/Information-Overload-Then-and/125479/?sid=cr&utm_source=cr&utm_medium=en
We thought we had it all nailed down when the information theorists came up with their typology distinguishing between "data" (raw stuff), "information" (cooked stuff), and "knowledge" (cooked stuff that we've eaten). This rather elegant approach did have the virtue of emphasizing that information processing is a human task, even though we might delegate part of it to machinery, and that the tests of that task are the results for humans. It helps return us to .

The First Civilization
This document provides an introduction to the concept of a resource-based economy (RBE) by discussing human behavior and how it is shaped by environmental factors. It explains that genes alone do not determine human phenotypes and behaviors, but rather there is an interaction between genes and the environment. Studies are cited showing that traits like aggression and depression are more influenced by traumatic environmental experiences than genetic factors alone. The introduction argues that creating a society and system that does not actively reward behaviors like violence and crime through things like poverty would be important for reducing such behaviors. The rest of the document outlines how an RBE model based on scientific principles could provide an alternative social and economic system unlike any tried before.

This document discusses several key points about ethics in science:
1. Science can be used for both beneficial and harmful purposes, as scientific discoveries and inventions can be applied in either way. Examples given include medical advances but also weapons development.
2. Scientists have a responsibility to consider the ethical implications and potential misuses of their work. However, determining ethical limits is complex as values differ between individuals and societies.
3. While science itself is amoral, human decisions about its application and oversight are not. There is an ongoing debate around whether and how to regulate certain areas of science to prevent harm while allowing progress. Overall ethical judgment requires balancing benefits, risks, and individual rights.

In this module we explore the differences between philosophical and sociological approaches to the question, "What is the relationship between the individual and society?" In doing so, we summarize the three theoretical frameworks sociologists typically have used to respond to this question. We then review four recent developments that challenge these established perspectives, developments that are explored in greater detail in subsequent modules.
Throughout this module, we summarize several terms used in our analysis. The module closes with an overview of the key questions we will consider throughout the semester's readings.

CASE 1Pre-Internet Development and Web 1.0Assignment OverviewA.docx
CASE 1
Pre-Internet Development and Web 1.0
Assignment Overview
As we said earlier, the development of the Internet involved a considerable period of more-or-less parallel evolution of a number of technologies and organizations. But like any process of social evolution, some events were more important than others in terms of influencing where we are today. Your task in this project is to identify some of those key turning points.
There are a lot of tools to help you. One of the most useful is “Hobbes’ Internet Timeline” found at
http://www.zakon.org/robert/internet/timeline/
, a compilation of key events in Internet evolution dating back to the 1950s. You should also be prepared to consult some of the readings and other resources suggested in the Background page as useful sources of information. Your aim is to get a picture clear in your mind about how the different threads of the Internet got woven together.
Case Assignment
For this assignment, write a 3- to 4-page paper that addresses the following question:
Identify what you consider to be the five most important and/or significant events contributing to the evolution of the modern Internet that occurred in the period 1800–1991.
Provide a few paragraphs explaining why you consider each event to be one of the most important Internet-related milestones. Be sure to cite any resources that you used. The fifth and last event in your catalog should be the following, from Hobbes’ 1991 listing:
World-Wide Web (WWW) released by
CERN
; Tim Berners-Lee developer (:pb1:). First Web server is nxoc01.cern.ch, launched in Nov 1990 and later renamed info.cern.ch.
Many of the events you choose will be listed in the Hobbes timeline, but it is not the only source you will want to draw on. Be sure to include examples of 1) technological developments and 2) social/organizational events in your listing.
Assignment Expectations
Your paper should be 3–4 pages in length and reflect your personal experiences with the timeline.
The
important part of the project assignments is to carefully assess your own experiences with the topic, and then reflect critically on what you might have learned
about yourself and about situations through this assessment process.
The more you can use the exercise to develop personal implications for your growth as a potential businessperson as well as an Internet-savvy individual, the more value you will get out of the exercise.
SLP 1
Pre-Internet Development and Web 1.0
Your SLP assignment is to consider the great dot-com boom and bust and to understand its influence on the Internet of today. The dot-com bubble was the major watershed in the brief history of the Internet.
There is certainly no shortage of material describing this significant set of events. Probably the best place to begin for an overview is the following video:

Technological Advances
Throughout history there have been great advances in technology, but as of recent are the advances that are geared towards health. There are now many different types of technology to help track wellness for you. Some examples may be watches or apps to use to keep you on track. I will discuss how the different lenses relate to this topic and connect them to wellness.
When we look through a historical lens at technology related to wellness, we have made leaps and bounds in this area. Before you had to go to the doctor to find out what was wrong with you or to track your wellness, not anymore! With recent innovations such as apps to track dietary needs and watches to track movement or heartrate it is easier than ever to stay on top of our health. Let’s look at when you used to go to the doctor and have a nurse manually check your blood pressure. Now they have a machine that can do three different tasks at one time, it can check your blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen levels in your blood. The technological advances allow doctors or nurses to provide better and more efficient care to their patients. In history you had to go to the doctor, or the doctor used to come to you. Now there is apps or hospitals that are doing virtual visits for routine illness to help lessen the spread of illness. Historical we have come a long way in developing technology to help with maintaining wellness.
Humanities is affected using technology for wellness purposes as well. People are connected more and more using technology as well. Through the use of shared health or tracking apps people can connect and challenge one another in their wellness journeys. Also, these apps or tracking systems can also provide information to how people are living their day to day lives. Doctors or healthcare providers can use things such as Bluetooth to track their patients and how they are doing. Modern CPAP machines have the ability to track and tell you and your doctor about your sleep on a daily basis and provide real time results to make any adjustments that may be needed. Humanities is the study of relationships and can play a huge role in our lives, technology only boosts this by helping people to hold others accountable.
When you look at the natural and applied sciences lens in conjunction with technological advances you have to look at how we can affect the environment. Technology allows us to know what is going to happen with the weather and the environment well in advance. Years ago, weather observations were made the eye or ear and plotted on a map, not technology allows us to predict what will happen well before it does. Having this allows us to be able to prepare and have advanced notification for serious incidents and be able to react sooner. Take a tornado as an example, very dangerous and deadly if not warned early. With advances in technology meteorologist are able to look at a storm system and predict if sever weathe ...
Where do you get your information fromTo answer everyday question.docx
Where do you get your information from?
To answer everyday questions, you turn to information that is made readily available to you at the click of a button. In today’s fast-paced world you are often bombarded with more information than any one person can handle. With the 24-hour news cycle, the media tries to capture your attention with sensational stories and catchy headlines. However, there are many other headlines that do not seem to have the widespread marketable appeal — and therefore they are largely unnoticed by the general public.
Communication of scientific results usually takes place in a peer-reviewed journal. A peer-reviewed journal is one in which other experts in the specific field read and critique the author’s article, including their research and results, before it can be published in the journal. This process is done to maintain the standards of research. To find an example of a research article that has gone through the peer-review process, use the “Biology Newsfinder” tool in the Wiley Plus® “Science in the News” resource. Access this tool through the link in the left hand navigation for this unit.
On the other hand, there are many publications that do not use peer-review, such as newspapers and magazines. These publications rely on the judgment of the editor to ensure that the material contained is appropriate and at the set standard of the publication.
Think about how scientists conduct their work and report it to the world, compared to how the media (including newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and the internet) broadcast information. In your posts this week answer the following questions:
How often do you rely on media for scientific information to make decisions in your life?
Provide a specific example of scientific results being reported in media (e.g., a flu epidemic, a projected storm, or fracking). Be sure to include the headline, APA citation, and one sentence summary of the report.
Are there times when it is more appropriate to rely on media-reported science and other times when it is more appropriate to rely on peer-reviewed scientific results? Explain.
What do you think is the primary difference between communication of scientific results in the scientific community (peer-reviewed journals) and news media reporting?
Can the media influence the decisions that you make and how you feel about a topic on scientific research? Provide at least one example.
Be sure to review the Discussion Board Grading Rubric provided in the Course Syllabus.

In today’s fast-paced world you are often bombarded with more information than any one person can handle. With the 24-hour news cycle, the media tries to capture your attention with sensational stories and catchy headlines. However, there are many other headlines that do not seem to have the widespread marketable appeal—and therefore they are largely unnoticed by the general public.
Communication of scientific results usually takes place in a peer-reviewed journal. A peer-reviewed journal is one in which other experts in the specific field read and critique the author’s article, including their research and results, before it can be published in the journal. This process is done to maintain the standards of research. To find an example of a research article that has gone through the peer-review process, use the “Biology Newsfinder” tool in the Wiley Plus® “Science in the News” resource. Access this tool through the link in the left hand navigation for this unit.
On the other hand, there are many publications that do not use peer-review, such as newspapers and magazines. These publications rely on the judgment of the editor to ensure that the material contained is appropriate and at the set standard of the publication.
Think about how scientists conduct their work and report it to the world, compared to how the media (including newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and the internet) broadcast information. In your posts this week answer the following questions:
How often do you rely on media for scientific information to make decisions in your life?
Provide a specific example of scientific results being reported in media (e.g., a flu epidemic, a projected storm, or fracking). Be sure to include the headline, APA citation, and one sentence summary of the report.
Are there times when it is more appropriate to rely on media-reported science and other times when it is more appropriate to rely on peer-reviewed scientific results? Explain.
What do you think is the primary difference between communication of scientific results in the scientific community (peer-reviewed journals) and news media reporting?
Can the media influence the decisions that you make and how you feel about a topic on scientific research? Provide at least one example.
Be sure to review the Discussion Board Grading Rubric provided in the Course Syllabus.

Research Skills for Psychology Majors: Everything You Need to Know to Get Started
Theories and Models in
Psychology
Why We Care About Theories
The goal of science is to develop and test theories. Science does a lot of other
things that don’t seem like they have anything to do with theory development, but
the bottom line is producing good theories.
Scientists and philosophers argue about what a theory really is, and what a good
theory looks like. Some of the formal definitions include:
“A set of principles that explains and predicts many, but not all, observed
relationships within a given domain of inquiry” (Stangor, 1998, p. 30).
“A formalized set of concepts that organizes observations and inferences
and predicts and explains phenomena” (Graziano & Raulin, 2000, p. 37).
There are many more definitions, but they generally come down to these basic
parts:
1. explain nature
2. predict events
3. tell us what to look for and how to look
4. tell us what our data mean
Theories explain why things are the way they are. Why does water become “hard”
at 0ºC? Chemical theories explain why compounds change state: what they are
made of (atoms, molecules, etc.) and how they respond to change in energy (tem-
perature). Why do people become racially prejudiced? Social psychology proposes
a dozen theories to explain various aspects of this complex event, for example, it
seems to reflect a cognitive bias that produces negatively valanced thoughts about
others for whom we have poorly articulated cognitive schemata. “Why?” is the
scientist’s mantra, and when you stop asking Why? it’s time to pack it in and turn
on the TV.
Good theories go beyond just answering Why? to being able to predict events
given the necessary information. A theory that explains why ice forms but can’t
predict when it will form has a problem. Psychological theories are better at
explaining why than at making predictions, in part because behavior is multiply de-
termined: it is the result of many complicated intersecting and interacting factors.
Ice is not as simple as it seems at first, either: how about predicting the formation
of ice from dirty water? salty water? .

Awaken by the sounds of others talking and in amazement of what they are seeing of what is known to be the “Land of Opportunity” or America. We sail through the New York harbor passing a statue in which they call the statue of liberty standing tall as she is a symbol of strength reading “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”(Lazarus, n.d.). I could only hope this message was true but I also questioned myself if this was a true illustration of the America I would soon enter. Many of us “Germans” came on this journey to America to escape the civil unrest of Germany in hope to get away from having to live in poverty, oppression, and political danger. I needed a better job to provide for my family to offer the younger generation a better future. Arriving at Ellis Island I am filled with many thoughts and hopes, but as we enter I feel the mistrust and prejudice from the Americans. After I went through the in-processing requirements at Ellis Island where many factors that made me who I am was scrutinized I knew America was going to be the land of opportunity I hoped for. My family and I lived in tenement buildings because they was cheaper and what we could afford

Assignment 2: LASA 1 Create Your Own Political Party
Scenario:
Your family has always been very politically active. From a young age, you have been politically aware. When you were young, you worked with your parents as they supported their political party and you even helped during campaigns for the candidates your parents supported. In college, you were a leader of the organization on campus that was part of the political party you supported. This could have been the Young Democrats or the Young Republicans or any college group that supported the political party of your choice. Until your exposure at college, you always supported the same political party as your parents, but then your views began to change and you developed your own ideas, ideals and expectations. While you continued to remain politically active, you have become more and more disillusioned with the current major and third parties and movements on the political scene, having studied all thoroughly. You have come to be completely discouraged by the state of the political process as it pertains to political parties. In your opinion, none of the major or third parties truly represents the best interests of the citizens, and you have decided to create your own political party.
Directions. In a 4-5 page Microsoft Word document, include the following:
Name your political party and evaluate why you have chosen that name.
Create a symbol for your political party and explain why you have chosen that symbol.
Create a slogan for your political party and justify why you have chosen that slogan.
Develop a platform for your political party. A platform is a written outline and explanation of what your party believes in and why. Your party can be a single-issue party, an ideological party, a splinter party, or a regular broad based political party. Your platform must have at least four positions under the following topics. Summarize each platform position.
Social Issues
Domestic Issues
Foreign Policy
Design a brochure or one-page flyer for your political party that you would hand out to voters to introduce and explain your party. In this flyer you want to include the essentials of what your party stands for, points of your platform, and the benefits of joining your party.
Project what demographic groups would vote for your political party and why. What demographic groups will your political party reach out to and seek support from?
Predict what regions of the country will support your political party and why? Or, what regions of country will your party win? Justify your claims.
Compare the areas of support with those of other political parties.
What main idea or belief is your political party based upon? Why? For example, in the 2008 election, the Democrats focused a lot on the economy and the war in Iraq.
Some links that may help you understand and assess current political parties, which in turn may help you to create your political party.

Assignment 2: LASA 1: Case Study of Behavioral Disorders
In this assignment, you will analyze a fictional scenario and identify the possible disorders involved. All the information needed for this assignment can be found in the textbook.
Review the following vignettes:
Behavioral Disorder—Male Vignette
Joe, a thirteen-year-old Asian-American boy, is enrolled in ninth grade at a public high school located in the inner city of a large metropolitan area. Since kindergarten, his teachers have reported increasing levels of concern about his behavior. In elementary school, he was described by his teachers as immature and argumentative with authority figures. In middle school, his behavior escalated to include verbal and physical aggression toward classmates.
Recent reports indicate that he disrupts the classroom often by arguing with his teacher, talking excessively and loudly, and disobeying classroom rules. During breaks or when outside the classroom, Joe associates with a group of boys who tend to get into trouble. He tends to become angry often and easily and has gotten into many fights. Some of his classmates have reported that Joe has threatened them. He does not seem to feel guilty when he gets into trouble. He rarely finishes his schoolwork and is getting poor grades. Beginning this year, Joe’s teacher has reported that he seems easily distracted.
Testing completed by the school psychologist indicates that Joe is intelligent and creative. Results do not support the presence of a learning disability or a developmental disability. The school psychologist indicates that Joe lacks sufficient motivation or desire to complete his work thoroughly or carefully. Joe’s parents report that he refuses to follow rules at home, is often angry, and tends to blame his siblings when he gets into trouble.
Behavioral Disorder—Female Vignette
Maria is an eight-year-old daughter of Mexican-American parents who recently immigrated to the United States. They speak some English, and Maria is fluent in both English and Spanish. She is enrolled in third grade at the local public elementary school. Since second grade, her parents have reported concerns about her difficulty in paying attention or maintaining her concentration. They indicate that she has significant difficulty in completing her homework because she daydreams and is easily distracted by sounds and activities in the home. Maria has the same problem in the classroom, so she often has to bring unfinished classroom work home to complete. Maria gets frustrated at school and during homework time, often stating that she “can’t do” the work and referring to herself as “dumb” or “not smart enough.”
Maria’s frustration with her schoolwork has led to some irritability lately, as well as some desire to avoid school. She tends to have more of a temper at home recently and expresses hopelessness at times. She is most content playing soccer or video games. She tends to concentrate very well during those activitie.

Part 1 Information networking as technology tools, uses, and soci.docx
Part 1: Information networking as technology: tools, uses, and socio-technical interactions
Information overload! The phrase alone is enough to strike terror into the hardiest of managers; it presages the breakdown of society as we know it and the failure of management to cope with change. The media constantly dissect the forthcoming collapse brought on by TMI ("Too Much Information"), even as they themselves pile up larger and larger dossiers on the subject, and we are frequently informed that it is our own damn fault that we are drowning in data, since we simply can't discriminate between the important stuff and everything else. Hence, the info-tsunami warning signs posted all along what we once so naively called the "information superhighway".
Of course, this is arrant nonsense -- human beings have been suffering from information overload in varying forms since about the time we hit the ground and found ourselves simultaneously running after the antelope and away from the lion. There's no question that the human mind has a limited capacity to process information, but after several million years we've gotten pretty good at figuring out how to handle a lot. The two basic tricks turn out to be distinguishing between short-term and long-term information storage, and "chunking" -- putting things in a limited number of baskets. This isn't primarily a course in the psychology of memory -- it's about information tools and systems -- but in fact the same things that make our information tools and systems work are the same things that have kept us near the antelopes and away from the lions (mostly) for the last million years or so. So we're beginning this course by thinking about information tools, what makes them like and unlike other kinds of tools, how the concept of a socio-technical system (in which social and behavioral functions shape results as much as does the technology itself) helps make sense of what we're facing, and why the technology just might win after all.
Let's start with a little historical review. Amy Blair has recently done a very intriguing summary of just why information overload isn't something that we, or still less our kids, dreamed up -- people have been drowning in data for ages regardless of the tools at their disposal:
Blair, A. (2010) Information Overload, Then and Now. The Chronicle of Higher Education Review. November 28.Retrieved November 15, 2010 from http://chronicle.com/article/Information-Overload-Then-and/125479/?sid=cr&utm_source=cr&utm_medium=en
We thought we had it all nailed down when the information theorists came up with their typology distinguishing between "data" (raw stuff), "information" (cooked stuff), and "knowledge" (cooked stuff that we've eaten). This rather elegant approach did have the virtue of emphasizing that information processing is a human task, even though we might delegate part of it to machinery, and that the tests of that task are the results for humans. It helps return us to .

The First Civilization
This document provides an introduction to the concept of a resource-based economy (RBE) by discussing human behavior and how it is shaped by environmental factors. It explains that genes alone do not determine human phenotypes and behaviors, but rather there is an interaction between genes and the environment. Studies are cited showing that traits like aggression and depression are more influenced by traumatic environmental experiences than genetic factors alone. The introduction argues that creating a society and system that does not actively reward behaviors like violence and crime through things like poverty would be important for reducing such behaviors. The rest of the document outlines how an RBE model based on scientific principles could provide an alternative social and economic system unlike any tried before.

This document discusses several key points about ethics in science:
1. Science can be used for both beneficial and harmful purposes, as scientific discoveries and inventions can be applied in either way. Examples given include medical advances but also weapons development.
2. Scientists have a responsibility to consider the ethical implications and potential misuses of their work. However, determining ethical limits is complex as values differ between individuals and societies.
3. While science itself is amoral, human decisions about its application and oversight are not. There is an ongoing debate around whether and how to regulate certain areas of science to prevent harm while allowing progress. Overall ethical judgment requires balancing benefits, risks, and individual rights.

CASE 1Pre-Internet Development and Web 1.0Assignment OverviewA.docx
CASE 1
Pre-Internet Development and Web 1.0
Assignment Overview
As we said earlier, the development of the Internet involved a considerable period of more-or-less parallel evolution of a number of technologies and organizations. But like any process of social evolution, some events were more important than others in terms of influencing where we are today. Your task in this project is to identify some of those key turning points.
There are a lot of tools to help you. One of the most useful is “Hobbes’ Internet Timeline” found at
http://www.zakon.org/robert/internet/timeline/
, a compilation of key events in Internet evolution dating back to the 1950s. You should also be prepared to consult some of the readings and other resources suggested in the Background page as useful sources of information. Your aim is to get a picture clear in your mind about how the different threads of the Internet got woven together.
Case Assignment
For this assignment, write a 3- to 4-page paper that addresses the following question:
Identify what you consider to be the five most important and/or significant events contributing to the evolution of the modern Internet that occurred in the period 1800–1991.
Provide a few paragraphs explaining why you consider each event to be one of the most important Internet-related milestones. Be sure to cite any resources that you used. The fifth and last event in your catalog should be the following, from Hobbes’ 1991 listing:
World-Wide Web (WWW) released by
CERN
; Tim Berners-Lee developer (:pb1:). First Web server is nxoc01.cern.ch, launched in Nov 1990 and later renamed info.cern.ch.
Many of the events you choose will be listed in the Hobbes timeline, but it is not the only source you will want to draw on. Be sure to include examples of 1) technological developments and 2) social/organizational events in your listing.
Assignment Expectations
Your paper should be 3–4 pages in length and reflect your personal experiences with the timeline.
The
important part of the project assignments is to carefully assess your own experiences with the topic, and then reflect critically on what you might have learned
about yourself and about situations through this assessment process.
The more you can use the exercise to develop personal implications for your growth as a potential businessperson as well as an Internet-savvy individual, the more value you will get out of the exercise.
SLP 1
Pre-Internet Development and Web 1.0
Your SLP assignment is to consider the great dot-com boom and bust and to understand its influence on the Internet of today. The dot-com bubble was the major watershed in the brief history of the Internet.
There is certainly no shortage of material describing this significant set of events. Probably the best place to begin for an overview is the following video:

Technological Advances
Throughout history there have been great advances in technology, but as of recent are the advances that are geared towards health. There are now many different types of technology to help track wellness for you. Some examples may be watches or apps to use to keep you on track. I will discuss how the different lenses relate to this topic and connect them to wellness.
When we look through a historical lens at technology related to wellness, we have made leaps and bounds in this area. Before you had to go to the doctor to find out what was wrong with you or to track your wellness, not anymore! With recent innovations such as apps to track dietary needs and watches to track movement or heartrate it is easier than ever to stay on top of our health. Let’s look at when you used to go to the doctor and have a nurse manually check your blood pressure. Now they have a machine that can do three different tasks at one time, it can check your blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen levels in your blood. The technological advances allow doctors or nurses to provide better and more efficient care to their patients. In history you had to go to the doctor, or the doctor used to come to you. Now there is apps or hospitals that are doing virtual visits for routine illness to help lessen the spread of illness. Historical we have come a long way in developing technology to help with maintaining wellness.
Humanities is affected using technology for wellness purposes as well. People are connected more and more using technology as well. Through the use of shared health or tracking apps people can connect and challenge one another in their wellness journeys. Also, these apps or tracking systems can also provide information to how people are living their day to day lives. Doctors or healthcare providers can use things such as Bluetooth to track their patients and how they are doing. Modern CPAP machines have the ability to track and tell you and your doctor about your sleep on a daily basis and provide real time results to make any adjustments that may be needed. Humanities is the study of relationships and can play a huge role in our lives, technology only boosts this by helping people to hold others accountable.
When you look at the natural and applied sciences lens in conjunction with technological advances you have to look at how we can affect the environment. Technology allows us to know what is going to happen with the weather and the environment well in advance. Years ago, weather observations were made the eye or ear and plotted on a map, not technology allows us to predict what will happen well before it does. Having this allows us to be able to prepare and have advanced notification for serious incidents and be able to react sooner. Take a tornado as an example, very dangerous and deadly if not warned early. With advances in technology meteorologist are able to look at a storm system and predict if sever weathe ...
Where do you get your information fromTo answer everyday question.docx
Where do you get your information from?
To answer everyday questions, you turn to information that is made readily available to you at the click of a button. In today’s fast-paced world you are often bombarded with more information than any one person can handle. With the 24-hour news cycle, the media tries to capture your attention with sensational stories and catchy headlines. However, there are many other headlines that do not seem to have the widespread marketable appeal — and therefore they are largely unnoticed by the general public.
Communication of scientific results usually takes place in a peer-reviewed journal. A peer-reviewed journal is one in which other experts in the specific field read and critique the author’s article, including their research and results, before it can be published in the journal. This process is done to maintain the standards of research. To find an example of a research article that has gone through the peer-review process, use the “Biology Newsfinder” tool in the Wiley Plus® “Science in the News” resource. Access this tool through the link in the left hand navigation for this unit.
On the other hand, there are many publications that do not use peer-review, such as newspapers and magazines. These publications rely on the judgment of the editor to ensure that the material contained is appropriate and at the set standard of the publication.
Think about how scientists conduct their work and report it to the world, compared to how the media (including newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and the internet) broadcast information. In your posts this week answer the following questions:
How often do you rely on media for scientific information to make decisions in your life?
Provide a specific example of scientific results being reported in media (e.g., a flu epidemic, a projected storm, or fracking). Be sure to include the headline, APA citation, and one sentence summary of the report.
Are there times when it is more appropriate to rely on media-reported science and other times when it is more appropriate to rely on peer-reviewed scientific results? Explain.
What do you think is the primary difference between communication of scientific results in the scientific community (peer-reviewed journals) and news media reporting?
Can the media influence the decisions that you make and how you feel about a topic on scientific research? Provide at least one example.
Be sure to review the Discussion Board Grading Rubric provided in the Course Syllabus.

Research Skills for Psychology Majors: Everything You Need to Know to Get Started
Theories and Models in
Psychology
Why We Care About Theories
The goal of science is to develop and test theories. Science does a lot of other
things that don’t seem like they have anything to do with theory development, but
the bottom line is producing good theories.
Scientists and philosophers argue about what a theory really is, and what a good
theory looks like. Some of the formal definitions include:
“A set of principles that explains and predicts many, but not all, observed
relationships within a given domain of inquiry” (Stangor, 1998, p. 30).
“A formalized set of concepts that organizes observations and inferences
and predicts and explains phenomena” (Graziano & Raulin, 2000, p. 37).
There are many more definitions, but they generally come down to these basic
parts:
1. explain nature
2. predict events
3. tell us what to look for and how to look
4. tell us what our data mean
Theories explain why things are the way they are. Why does water become “hard”
at 0ºC? Chemical theories explain why compounds change state: what they are
made of (atoms, molecules, etc.) and how they respond to change in energy (tem-
perature). Why do people become racially prejudiced? Social psychology proposes
a dozen theories to explain various aspects of this complex event, for example, it
seems to reflect a cognitive bias that produces negatively valanced thoughts about
others for whom we have poorly articulated cognitive schemata. “Why?” is the
scientist’s mantra, and when you stop asking Why? it’s time to pack it in and turn
on the TV.
Good theories go beyond just answering Why? to being able to predict events
given the necessary information. A theory that explains why ice forms but can’t
predict when it will form has a problem. Psychological theories are better at
explaining why than at making predictions, in part because behavior is multiply de-
termined: it is the result of many complicated intersecting and interacting factors.
Ice is not as simple as it seems at first, either: how about predicting the formation
of ice from dirty water? salty water? .

Awaken by the sounds of others talking and in amazement of what they are seeing of what is known to be the “Land of Opportunity” or America. We sail through the New York harbor passing a statue in which they call the statue of liberty standing tall as she is a symbol of strength reading “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”(Lazarus, n.d.). I could only hope this message was true but I also questioned myself if this was a true illustration of the America I would soon enter. Many of us “Germans” came on this journey to America to escape the civil unrest of Germany in hope to get away from having to live in poverty, oppression, and political danger. I needed a better job to provide for my family to offer the younger generation a better future. Arriving at Ellis Island I am filled with many thoughts and hopes, but as we enter I feel the mistrust and prejudice from the Americans. After I went through the in-processing requirements at Ellis Island where many factors that made me who I am was scrutinized I knew America was going to be the land of opportunity I hoped for. My family and I lived in tenement buildings because they was cheaper and what we could afford

Assignment 2 LASA 1 Create Your Own Political PartyScenarioYou.docx
Assignment 2: LASA 1 Create Your Own Political Party
Scenario:
Your family has always been very politically active. From a young age, you have been politically aware. When you were young, you worked with your parents as they supported their political party and you even helped during campaigns for the candidates your parents supported. In college, you were a leader of the organization on campus that was part of the political party you supported. This could have been the Young Democrats or the Young Republicans or any college group that supported the political party of your choice. Until your exposure at college, you always supported the same political party as your parents, but then your views began to change and you developed your own ideas, ideals and expectations. While you continued to remain politically active, you have become more and more disillusioned with the current major and third parties and movements on the political scene, having studied all thoroughly. You have come to be completely discouraged by the state of the political process as it pertains to political parties. In your opinion, none of the major or third parties truly represents the best interests of the citizens, and you have decided to create your own political party.
Directions. In a 4-5 page Microsoft Word document, include the following:
Name your political party and evaluate why you have chosen that name.
Create a symbol for your political party and explain why you have chosen that symbol.
Create a slogan for your political party and justify why you have chosen that slogan.
Develop a platform for your political party. A platform is a written outline and explanation of what your party believes in and why. Your party can be a single-issue party, an ideological party, a splinter party, or a regular broad based political party. Your platform must have at least four positions under the following topics. Summarize each platform position.
Social Issues
Domestic Issues
Foreign Policy
Design a brochure or one-page flyer for your political party that you would hand out to voters to introduce and explain your party. In this flyer you want to include the essentials of what your party stands for, points of your platform, and the benefits of joining your party.
Project what demographic groups would vote for your political party and why. What demographic groups will your political party reach out to and seek support from?
Predict what regions of the country will support your political party and why? Or, what regions of country will your party win? Justify your claims.
Compare the areas of support with those of other political parties.
What main idea or belief is your political party based upon? Why? For example, in the 2008 election, the Democrats focused a lot on the economy and the war in Iraq.
Some links that may help you understand and assess current political parties, which in turn may help you to create your political party.

Assignment 2 LASA 1 Case Study of Behavioral DisordersIn this as.docx
Assignment 2: LASA 1: Case Study of Behavioral Disorders
In this assignment, you will analyze a fictional scenario and identify the possible disorders involved. All the information needed for this assignment can be found in the textbook.
Review the following vignettes:
Behavioral Disorder—Male Vignette
Joe, a thirteen-year-old Asian-American boy, is enrolled in ninth grade at a public high school located in the inner city of a large metropolitan area. Since kindergarten, his teachers have reported increasing levels of concern about his behavior. In elementary school, he was described by his teachers as immature and argumentative with authority figures. In middle school, his behavior escalated to include verbal and physical aggression toward classmates.
Recent reports indicate that he disrupts the classroom often by arguing with his teacher, talking excessively and loudly, and disobeying classroom rules. During breaks or when outside the classroom, Joe associates with a group of boys who tend to get into trouble. He tends to become angry often and easily and has gotten into many fights. Some of his classmates have reported that Joe has threatened them. He does not seem to feel guilty when he gets into trouble. He rarely finishes his schoolwork and is getting poor grades. Beginning this year, Joe’s teacher has reported that he seems easily distracted.
Testing completed by the school psychologist indicates that Joe is intelligent and creative. Results do not support the presence of a learning disability or a developmental disability. The school psychologist indicates that Joe lacks sufficient motivation or desire to complete his work thoroughly or carefully. Joe’s parents report that he refuses to follow rules at home, is often angry, and tends to blame his siblings when he gets into trouble.
Behavioral Disorder—Female Vignette
Maria is an eight-year-old daughter of Mexican-American parents who recently immigrated to the United States. They speak some English, and Maria is fluent in both English and Spanish. She is enrolled in third grade at the local public elementary school. Since second grade, her parents have reported concerns about her difficulty in paying attention or maintaining her concentration. They indicate that she has significant difficulty in completing her homework because she daydreams and is easily distracted by sounds and activities in the home. Maria has the same problem in the classroom, so she often has to bring unfinished classroom work home to complete. Maria gets frustrated at school and during homework time, often stating that she “can’t do” the work and referring to herself as “dumb” or “not smart enough.”
Maria’s frustration with her schoolwork has led to some irritability lately, as well as some desire to avoid school. She tends to have more of a temper at home recently and expresses hopelessness at times. She is most content playing soccer or video games. She tends to concentrate very well during those activitie.

Assignment 2 Innovation and Communication PresentationListed belo.docx
Assignment 2: Innovation and Communication Presentation
Listed below are the names of some of the world’s top technology-related innovators. They have also been called leaders, entrepreneurs, disrupters, or good old-fashioned trouble-makers. They have gone against the odds, rattling stale industries to build new ones. Recognize their names? Not likely, though you may instantly recognize their product, technology, or scientific inventions, which have made headlines. However, their success would not be possible without the effective management of team members. For this assignment, you are required to choose two people from the list and create a PowerPoint presentation.
First, choose two leaders from the list below:
Caleb Chung
Cory Booker
Craig Venter
Dan Olschwang
Diane Greene
Hjalmar Winbladh
Jeremy Stoppelman
Mark Gorton
Russell Simmons
Sunil Shaunak
Now, respond to the following:
Utilize your research and identify the methods these innovators or leaders are using to communicate through technology in an effort to remain relevant in their industries.
Explain how technology has advanced each of their businesses, leading to growth.
Determine if innovative products, such as Google X, iWatch, or the new Cardboard Bike, can be linked to transformational or transactional leadership. Defend your position.
Self-managed teams are often used to hide inventions from public view. Utilizing your research, identify ways managers and project leaders working under constraints can accomplish this.
Develop a 4–6-slide presentation in PowerPoint format. Include detailed speaker notes in your presentation. Utilize at least two scholarly sources (in addition to your textbook) to complete your research, referencing sources within the text and at the end in a reference list. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M4_A2.ppt.
Make sure you write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship through accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Assignment 2 Internal Environmental ScanOrganizational Assessment.docx
Assignment 2: Internal Environmental Scan/Organizational Assessment
This section provides the opportunity to develop your course project. Conducting an internal environmental scan or organizational assessment, provides the ability to put the strategy audit together.
In this module, you will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the internal environment at your business unit or organization you are working with for this project, also known as an organizational assessment, and present your findings in a report. In your report, you should analyze the operating characteristics and assets of your business unit.
The SWOT model is one of the most common business tools used during organizational assessment. Another is developing a balanced scorecard based on a prescribed or planned set of performance objectives that will be measured and evaluated regularly. In this assignment, based on the external environmental scan you conducted in
M2: Assignment 2
and the internal environmental scan in this assignment, you will develop a SWOT analysis and a balanced strategic scorecard.
Part I: Internal Environmental Scan (2–3 pages)
The internal environmental scan or organizational assessment should include the following:
Mission, vision, and values:
Assess the organization’s understanding of the mission, vision, and values, and how they relate the business strategy. Is there consensus on the mission and vision of the organization? What are the shared values of the organization? What are the behaviors espoused by these values?
Strategy clarification:
Assess the organization’s understanding of the business strategy through the interview with a mid-level or senior manager. Assess his or her understanding and agreement of the business unit’s value proposition, market position, and competitive advantage.
Cultural assessment:
Explain the unwritten rules and shared values that govern behaviors in the organization. Do they act as enablers or blockers to the strategy? For example, is there a culture of information sharing and collaboration that enables the organization to respond quickly across structural boundaries to solve problems for customers? On the other hand, do groups not share important information through informal mechanisms, thus slowing response times?
Value chain analysis:
Identify the primary (direct) and support (indirect) activities that create and deliver your product or service to your customers. Assess each activity’s contribution to competitive advantage through cost or differentiation. Identify any areas where the business may be at a competitive disadvantage.
Summary of findings:
Using these different analyses, identify the organizational strengths and weaknesses as they relate to the business strategy. Organizational strengths are assets, capabilities, and resources that contribute directly to the organization’s strategic fit, differentiation, and competitive advantage relative to competing organizations. Organizational weaknesses are chara.

Assignment 2: Internet-Based Psychological Interventions
Due
Tuesday, November 24, 2015
.
With so many individuals using the Internet today, the psychology of the individual, the family, the community, and the society has changed. Some might argue that the traditional psychological theories cannot be applied and therefore psychology as an entire field needs to be revamped to incorporate the impact and the application of internet technology. As a student completing a bachelor’s degree in psychology, your future career will undoubtedly incorporate the use of the Internet in very new ways. Read the following article from the AUO Library:
Ritterband, L. M., Gonder-Frederick, L., Cox, D. J., Clifton, A. D., West,
R. W., & Borowitz, S. M. (2003). Internet interventions: In review,
in use, and into the future.
Professional Psychology: Research and
Practice
, 34(5)
, 527-534.
Identify a problem area or psychological issue that could benefit from the use of an internet intervention. Now, using what you learned from the article, propose an internet intervention using the following guidelines:
What problem area would the internet intervention address?
Provide a general description of the proposed internet intervention.
How would the effectiveness of the proposed intervention be tested?
What are any legal and ethical issues related to the proposed intervention? Include the specific APA ethical standard(s) in your response.

Assignment 2 Field Observation Purpose The purpose of this .docx
Assignment 2: Field Observation
Purpose:
The purpose of this
two-step
exercise is for you to conduct inductive and deductive research using qualitative methods.
Note: it is important that you conduct the observations as two distinct events during this class; ‘recalling’ past observations is not the same as purposefully observing your surroundings from a sociological perspective, and applying two different types of reasoning to one observation will not be ‘truthful’ or successful.
The purpose of this exercise if for you to observe one
social setting
or
social artifact
to begin to detect patterns in human behavior – observance of norms and potentially behaviors that deviate from the norm. This week’s exercise includes two parts.
First
, without any prep work, you will need to go to
one
public
place (or conduct content analysis with your social artifact) and observe the people/artifact for
25 minutes
. Social Setting: Note people’s behavior, their demeanor, their reactions/interactions to/with each other. Social artifact: from second to second (for TV), or page to page (for print), Note themes, sounds (i.. music), texture of page (i.e. ads in magazine), etc.
Second
, you will develop a research design with research problem, hypothesis and operational definitions for variables; then you will conduct
another 25 minutes
of observations.
Disclaimer
Originality of attachments will be verified by Turnitin. Both you and your instructor will receive the results.
Part 1
1) Choose whether or not you will be conducting non-participant observation in a social setting, or content analysis of a social artifact
a. Social setting: this should be a public place such as a park, mall, restaurant, etc.
b. Social artifact: this may be ads in a particular magazine; one television show, a time-block of commercials, etc.
2) For your inductive approach, you will simply choose a time and location/artifact for where you are going to conduct your observations
3)
a. Social Setting: Go to the specified location and proceed with your observations.
i. You must be a keen social observer; a ‘peeping Tom’ in the sociological sense. Take handwritten (recommended) and/or mental notes of:
1. details about your chosen location (time of day, lighting, furniture, plants, sounds, temperature, smell, vibe/energy, etc)
2. the people around you, not only their behavior but general information about their sociodemographic characteristics (age, race/ethnicity, gender, SES, etc);
3. your thoughts and feelings while making observations
Social Artifact: At a specified time (i.e. when a particular show is), carefully observe your social artifact
i.
Content analysis provides a sustained, systematic way to observe and measure the portrayal of that reality, as opposed to the quick, impressio.
Assignment 2 Human Resources and Staffing Crisis at Blumberg’s Nurs.docx
Assignment 2: Human Resources and Staffing Crisis at Blumberg’s Nursing Home
Due Week 10 and worth 250 points
Blumberg’s Nursing Home (BNH) is a 100-bed Medicare and Medicaid certified facility in suburban Philadelphia, PA. The administrator recently terminated the facility’s Director of Nursing (DON), receptionist, and dietary aid for inappropriate conduct. They had all been involved in purchasing and using illegal substances on facility grounds. Facility staff, as well as many of the more lucid residents, have found out about the incident.
The charge nurse has been appointed interim DON. The human resource manager has sent a memo to all staff informing them of a mandatory staff meeting to discuss BNH’s code of ethics and to provide additional training on workplace culture. Because federal law requires that there be at least one (1) registered nurse on duty for a minimum of eight (8) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, and that the DON must be a registered nurse (RN) – which the interim DON is not – BNH is out of compliance.
Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you:
Assess the immediate staffing needs at BNH. Prioritize the order in which BNH should fill the main unstaffed position(s). Justify your selection(s).
Considering the reason behind the termination of the employees, formulate a human resources policy that addresses inappropriate conduct in the workplace, the process of reporting inappropriate conduct, and the consequences of violating the policy. Explain your rationale.
Per the text, an effective long-term care facility administrator must have both leadership and management skills. Propose at least one (1) way the administrator in this case must demonstrate quality leadership skills, and one (1) way the administrator must demonstrate quality management skills in the aftermath of this crisis so as to improve and maintain staff and resident morale.
Recommend a strategy for BNH to use the Quality Indicator Survey to improve administrative practices and ensure future compliance at the facility. Justify your recommendation.
Use at least three (3) quality academic resources.
Note
: Wikipedia and other similar websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Assignment 2 FederalismThe system of federalism was institute.docx
Assignment 2: Federalism
The system of federalism was instituted with the writing and authorization of the Constitution in 1787. In dividing power between states and the national government, federalism has undergone challenges to the placement of power. Should power reside primarily in national or in state government? The Civil War was the most dramatic challenge to the placement of power. Southern states argued, under the leadership of John C. Calhoun, that states’ power superseded national power, while northern states, under the leadership of President Abraham Lincoln, stressed the need for union under the leadership and direction of the national government.
In the more than two hundred years since the Constitution’s adoption, there have been many changes to the meaning of federalism, with power shifting between state and national governments. In the twentieth century, the shifts of power became largely associated with the national government’s ability to provide increased funding sources. With more funding available, the national government has expanded its impact on all areas of state governments. This increased power has had many advocates and many detractors, each with strong justifications.
Research federalism using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Write a paper on federalism. Structure your paper as follows:
Define federalism.
Explain three advantages of federalism.
Explain three disadvantages of federalism.
Identify and describe at least two ways in which American federalism has changed since the ratification of the Constitution.
Discuss one advantage or disadvantage of federalism most relevant to you.
Describe the relationship between contemporary politics and trends in the size and power of the federal government.

Assignment 2 Human Resource and Organization PerformanceEffective.docx
Assignment 2: Human Resource and Organization Performance
Effective management of human resources contributes to mission accomplishment and vision achievement. Given that a vision is the future preferred status for an organization, it is critical to align people with the processes and resources necessary to propel the organization forward. As easy as this may seem to the uninformed, there are many challenges as pressure is applied to consistently reduce costs while delivering superior goods and or services.
Whether you are part of a small entrepreneurial start up, a civil servant with a mature and large government entity, or a volunteer for a non-profit organization, someone is fulfilling the role of HR oversight. No matter what type of organization you are working for the HR functions typically associated with building human capital are: analysis and design of work, recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, compensation and benefits, employee relations, personnel policies, compliance with laws, and strategies for supporting the mission.
This assignment is designed to integrate the reflection of personal experience, and the information covered in the textbook. Assuming you are Juanita, answer the following questions:
How can human resource management strategically contribute to the organization’s mission and vision on a daily basis?
What skills might Juanita have to develop to better fulfill her role?
How might Juanita engage line managers to become more involved in what has traditionally been HR’s function in this organization? Why?
Which aspects of human resource management would she want to entrust to specialists? Why?

- 1. You will note that in the chapter entitled "Tools of Sociology" it is clear that sociology is normally considered a "social science." However there is a great deal of sociology that fails to meet the tests required for truly scientific subject matter. Most of us assume we know what "science" IS. After all we live in a sea of it today. But do we really know what it is in an academic sense? Click on the following link for some key points about modern science from one of the author's web pages. http://www.global- college.com/rayeve/whatismodernscience.htm Note that there is a great deal of "pseudoscience" proffered today in advertising and the media. Pseudoscience has the look and feel of valid science but fails to meet one or more crucial tests for good science. To find out more click on: http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/pseudo.h tml Now, in your own words, distill the information from these two websites into a summary explaining how to tell the difference between good science and pseudoscience. In doing so, use at least two examples from print or other media that you think make good examples of "pseudoscience." Be sure to provide in your written answer an explanation for why you believe the two to be examples of pseudoscience (using the principles you've seen above). You may be able to find some useful examples to get you started by going to:
