you will need to do a few things in your presentation, specifically: – state what you understand the author to be communicating in what he has written ,and then – explain your perspective and insights on that communication for the rest of your video presentation. This part is the main focus of your assignment. By “your perspective and insights” is meant what you, having read the material, can say about how you make sense of what has been written. How does what you have read and understood affect you, or move you, or trouble you, or make you sympathetic, or empathetic, or at odds with the author? Every reading listed here has content that is important from the perspective of social change, or individual change, or both. What has the reading created in your understanding. How has it affected how you think about the author? How has it affected your thoughts about the era in which it was written? How has it affected your outlook on your own life, and perhaps also the life circumstances and time in which we are all living? I will do the video presentation about 4 minutes based on what you write about those questions above so it should be around 800 words and include the outline I will add bonus at the end so please write by your heart and you will get what you deserve Thanks

TOPIC: HEREDITY AND ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION Look at your own life. Look at your siblings or even the kid next door, maybe even a cousin. You are both in the same age group. You may have the same advantages or disadvantages. You may different decisions in life, or perhaps one life altering thing happened to one of you that would affect the way you approached life from thereon. Answer these questions: How similar are you to your family members (parent, sibling or child). Were you raised together? Did you grow up in the same house? Do you have your child part time pr full time? What are the similar traits you share? IE: Forest Gump never met his son until his son was like 7 years old yet they had the same physical mannerisms. Heredity and environment are responsible for producing qualities such as the personality of a human being. Behavior genetics determines the heredity and the environment interaction make individual differences in development. Psychologists agree that development is shaped by the interaction of heredity and the environment. discuss Heredity-Environment Correlations and use the following terms in the correct context: PASSIVE EVOCATIVE ACTIVE 5 solid PARAGRAPHS!

2 page essay arguing the pros and cons against illegal fishing, overfishing, and the methods involved in doing so in relation to how it affects the Pacific Ocean, and the biosphere. Needs at least 5 published scientific references/resources.

For this assignment, you will be briefly conducting some research about only one mineral.
Mineral: Talc
Write a minimum of two pages with the following format:
Size 12 font
Times New Roman font
Double-spaced paragraphs
1-inch margins (default margins)
Answer the following questions:
Describe the common properties of the mineral (streak, color luster, specific gravity, cleavage/fracture, etc).
Describe the chemical formula of the mineral.
Where are major deposits located, and how is it mined?
What is the mineral used for, and what are the properties that suit the mineral for these uses?
Describe other important information about the mineral. For example, is it rare or common? Is the mineral associated with any issues, such as pollution through mining, etc.? Is the mineral more commonly used now than in the past? Is there something special about your mineral that makes it unique, such as special properties?
Include at least one image of your mineral.
Be sure to include a list of at least three resources where you found your information. Resources should be listed in APA format.
Note: Make sure to discuss practical uses. Oftentimes, searching online for mineral uses results in uses based on beliefs – such as special healing powers, etc. Try to avoid these resources, and use academic resources to answer the questions.

1a) What is a hypothesis? 1b) Why are hypotheses important for the scientific method? ​ 2) Starting with Observation and ending with Communicate Results, name and describe the steps in the scientific method. In your answer, correctly use the terms independent variable and dependent variable. 3a) Define what a p-value is. 3b) Give an example of how a p-value might be used. 3c) Describe why p-values are important for scientific studies. 4a) Draw a graph depicting how biological populations grow over time. 4b) Write the equation that predicts the change in population per unit time. 4c) Define the variables in the equation. 4d) Draw a second line on your graph depicting how a population would grow with a higher intrinsic growth rate than the initial line you draw. 4e) Name and define the three major determinants of humans’ intrinsic growth rate. 5a) What was Thomas Malthus’s primary hypothesis about how human population and food supply were related? 5b) Explain what factors have led to his hypothesis being right or wrong at the global level. 6a) Draw a graph depicting the demographic transition. Include lines for birth rate, death rate, population growth rate, and total population on your graph. 6b) Explain why declines in birth rates lag declines in death rates. 7a) Name and define the terms in the IPAT equation (that is, what do the I, P, A, and T stand for?). Include example units in your answer. 7b) Next, calculate the CO2 impact of China using the following numbers: 1,000,000,000 people, $10,000 per person of economic activity per year, and 0.001 tons of CO2 per unit of economic activity. 7c) Next, in order to keep that impact the same, what value would T need to take if A and P doubled? 7d) In order to cut impact in half, what value would T need to take if A and P doubled? 7e) What does the relationship between I, P, A, and T tell us about the role of technology in reducing carbon dioxide emissions if P and A are increasing? 8a) There are three major approaches to solving the problem of carrying capacity in human beings: consuming more resources, using technology to improve the efficiency of consumption, and decreasing per capita consumption. For wealthy countries, which of these (maybe more than one) might be most appropriate and why? 8b) For poor countries, which of these (maybe more than one) might be most appropriate and why? 8c) Using Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, describe why the approaches might need to be different between rich and poor countries. 9a) Describe Life Boat Ethics (Hardin 1974). 9b) Give an argument for and an argument against Life Boat Ethics and identify the ethical value systems we covered in class that you are using to make these arguments. 10) Design an experiment to test the hypothesis that studying for an exam will improve students’ scores on the exam but only if the students are not sleep deprived in the nights leading up to the exam. Describe the results you expect and how you would interpret the results.

Students are expected to choose one common child and adolescent mental health disorder discussed in this course and discuss the following areas related to the disorder: (1) Current theories and evidence regarding the etiology of the disorder paying attention to factors such as environmental and biological risk and protective factors, family factors, and psycho-social effects; (2)How the disorder manifests in children of different ages (younger children, middle-aged children, and adolescents); and (3) Possible age appropriate prevention and intervention strategies in helping a child manage and cope with the disorder. Students are to conclude the paper by providing their opinion regarding the information discussed while providing information on how this knowledge will be helpful for them in the future as they work with children. Students are to write a 5-6 page paper and will utilize at least 4 literary resources from peer reviewed journals or books and use APA guidelines when writing this paper.

Overview
Scientists use a variety of methods and approaches to collect and analyze data. The methods they choose depend on the questions they are interested in answering. For example, volcanologists might ask a research question such as, how do we predict when volcanic eruptions will occur? To answer that question, they might use a variety of tools such as thermal imagers, seismic monitors, and satellites. In addition to collecting data from these instruments, they may also conduct field research to gather samples of rocks, gas, and ash. In this activity, you will identify a scientific approach used by scientists to study the topic of your chosen news story and draft research questions about it.
