Shortly after Hurricane Katrina damaged the New Orleans and surrounding areas, news reports of groups of looters were announced. Oftentimes, when under the influence of a crowd, individuals will display aggressive or unlawful behavior that they would not otherwise participate in. This phenomenon is referred to as deindividuation.

Research and discuss the following:

Identify and describe a historical event in which the deindividuation phenomenon occurred.
Explain the process of deindividuation (e.g., how it works, what changes happen within the individual to allow for unusual behavior).
Discuss how deindividuation might also occur outside the presence of a crowd, such as in other settings in which a person feels anonymous.

Include at least 3 sources in your paper. Use in-text citations and a reference list according to APA-style guidelines

Finding ways to improve humanity’s living standards is the point of economics. Having a good measure of living standards, you may think, is therefore pretty fundamental to the discipline. For decades economists have turned to gross domestic product (GDP) when they want an estimate of how well off people are. By how much are Americans better off than Indians, or than their parents’ generation? Chances are the answer will start with GDP.

GDP is really a measure of an economy’s output, valued at market prices (to the extent that you have them). As societies produce more, and therefore earn more, their material well-being rises. So it is no surprise that so many economists and official statisticians broadly accept GDP as a measure of living standards.

Do you think GDP is the best measure of living standard? Why? Why not?

Briefly discuss.

2) In your opinion, what are the most effective ways of reducing a huge budget deficit?

3) How would you explain the finding that people in high-income economies seem happier than people in low-income economies, but, over time, people in high-income economies do not seem to be any happier even if their country grows richer

Errors to Avoid in a Business Letter

In the course of your day-to-day work, you need to write dozens of business letters, to your colleagues, clients, consultants, or vendors. Think what would happen if you were to make a critical error in your communication that will eventually affect your firm financially.

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research and read articles that describe the business costs resulting from unclear instructions.

Based on your research and readings, respond to the following questions:

What are the kinds of errors that are commonly committed in a business letter?
What could be the results of such errors? Provide at least three examples.
How would you avoid such errors in the future? Explain in detail.
What would you include in a best practices document for writing a business letter? Explain the dos and don’ts

By Saturday, January 30, 2016, submit your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Use the same Discussion Area to comment on your classmates’ submissions by Monday, February 1, 2016, and continue the discussion until Wednesday, February 3, 2016.

Choose one of the seven disorders you read about in this unit: Fragile X syndrome, ADHD, Turner syndrome, Down syndrome, Williams syndrome, autism, and FAS. Respond to the following questions using the disorder you chose.

Your friend Alice tells you that her daughter Lauren has been recently diagnosed with this disorder. Alice would like more details and comes to you for information.

Provide a brief description of the disorder.

Ask three friends or family members who are not in the field of medicine or psychology what they know about the cause and symptoms of the disorder. Analyze their replies and discuss what this might imply about how this disorder is known and perceived by the general public.

Alice expresses guilt that she may have caused Lauren’s disorder and is also concerned that it might occur again in future offspring. What would you advise her in terms of preventive actions, available testing, and reproduction options

Following your last lesson, you discover only 60% of your students met the learning outcome. Not only did they demonstrate a lack of understanding through non-written, observable formative assessments, but the data from their assignment as scored through use of a rubric revealed the majority of the class did not meet the objective.

Using one of the two instructional plans you previously created, determine the following:

How you will identify particular areas of need/misunderstanding (what will you look for? See Chapter 6 from Ward, Fischer, Frey, & Lapp).
How you will address and re-teach with differentiation, so students meet the learning objective?
How you will employ students in the process of self-reflection and identifying areas of misunderstanding?
How you will reassess for the learning objective?
How will these instructional adjustments better prepare them for the impending summative assessment?

Guided Response: Respond to at least two classmates’ posts and provide specific feedback regarding their analysis and ideas for differentiation, student reflection, and reassessment

Assignment 1: Discussion – Tardy Employee

The purpose of this assignment is to create a better understanding of different cultural values and to use this awareness to develop competency in communicating in intercultural environments.

Imagine you are a supervisor in a manufacturing plant. You have an employee who consistently arrives 10 minutes after his or her shift has started. The employee’s shift starts at 8 a.m. and you have reminded the employee about this several times, but the employee continues to arrive late.

This consistent behavior of arriving to work late has started to affect the employee’s performance, as well as the morale of the other employees. You decide to talk with the employee.

How will you handle this conflict, and what will you do or say?
What specific persuasive methods will you use? Why?
