Apply the social problems framework to the obesity epidemic

Apply the social problems framework to the obesity epidemic

Apply the internal factors that cause overeating to the food industry’s customers/consumers.
Apply the internal changes that can be made to the food industry’s customers/consumers so that they can obtain control over their eating habits.
Apply the external factors of the obesity epidemic to the food industry’s cusomters/consumers, as well as apply the external changes that can be made to the food industry per se, and ultimately reduce the obesity epidemic.
Articulate ethical principles in the context of a specific social problem and describe how they can help formulate social policy or research
Apply scientific processes and knowledge of the natural world to make evidence-based decisions (General Education Outcome 2.1).

Based on all of the readings, videos, and your own entries in the food journal throughout this entire course, select 3 of the following 5 questions to answer, which are based on the course goals listed above:

1 Define and explain the concepts “personal problem” and “social problem.”  Explain how the social problems framework can be applied to the obesity epidemic.  In other words, explain the obesity epidemic using the social problems framework.

2 Identify, describe, and explain all of the changes that we, as individuals, can make internally to take control of our eating, overeating, and related issues.

3 Identify and explain all of the external changes that could be made to the food industry to help reduce the obesity epidemic.

4 With regard to obesity, identify and explain the social arrangements interpreted as unjust and articulate the implications for social policy and action.

5 Identify and articulate the ethical principles in the context of a specific social problem (in this case, the obesity epidemic), and describe how they can help formulate social policy or research.

cumulative assignment

cumulative assignment

The following fiveresearch questions can be answered using one of the eighttests you have learned this term, including: independent-samples t-test, paired-samplest-test, one-way ANOVA, two-factor ANOVA for independent measures, Pearson correlation coefficient, linear regression, the chi-square test for goodness of fit, and the chi-square test for independence. Note that this means that three tests will not be used. Use the information in the tables to construct your SPSS data file, just as you have been doing in each homework assignment. There is only 1 correct choice of analysis for each question. Remember to account for whether the test is 1-tailed or 2-tailed.The assessment is open-book/open-notes.

 

Your answer must include: A)SPSS output, and B)Results section in current APA style with the appropriate graph included as an APA-style figure.

 

For ANOVA problems (if applicable):Report statistical findings and make statements for all main effects and interaction effects. Use Tukey’s test for any analyses requiring post hoc tests.

Early childhood educational models

Early childhood educational models

Details: Educational leaders need to be knowledgeable about different early childhood educational models and understand the benefits and challenges of each approach to learning. For this assignment, imagine that you are the director of an early childhood education center, and you have decided to open a new location. Select a geographical area or district you would like to serve, and research the demographics of the surrounding community. Create a 10-15 slide digital presentation for prospective teachers who may consider working at your new center. Specifically, discuss the following different school models: • Project Approach • Head Start • High Scope • Montessori • Reggio Emilia • Waldorf In your discussion, explain the theoretical foundation of each model, and how each model supports the development of the whole child. Of the models listed, choose one model you would use within your early childhood education center. In your presentation, explain why you selected the model, how the model aligns with child-centered beliefs, and why it is a good choice for the demographics of the community you selected. Include a title slide, references slide, and speaker’s notes in your digital presentation. Support your findings with 3-5 scholarly references. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

 

DIVERSITY AND GROUP DYNAMICS ANALYSIS PAPER (Twelve Angry Men)

DIVERSITY AND GROUP DYNAMICS ANALYSIS PAPER (Twelve Angry Men)

The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate your understanding of group dynamics and the impact of diversity in group processes. This assignment requires you to view the 1997 version of the movie “Twelve Angry Men” and to read RAP by Davis, Galinsky & Schopler (1995) *
This paper is an analysis of group dynamics/member behaviors and is based on your readings, lectures, and class discussions, etc., about group theory and should not be a narrative of the movie. 

The paper should include the following points:

1. Identification of the group dynamics observed in the movie (norms, roles, etc.;
(35 points)
2. An analysis of how the diversity of the group members impacted the group process. (30 points)
3. Discuss how you would apply the “RAP Model” if you were the leader of this group (25 points)
4. Correct grammar, spelling, organization and clarity, APA formatting (10 points).

Research Proposal Components 

Your research proposal will consist of six components (introduction, literature review, research question, methodology, data analysis, and bibliography). While the final proposal will present the six components in the order presented in the outline below, the actual process of writing a proposal often does not follow this exact sequence. Notice that component C—the research question—comes after component B—the literature review. The process of scientific research does not always follow this sequence; many times a research question leads to seeking literature to discover what research exists concerning an issue. Therefore, you will complete the six components of the research proposal in a different order than it appears in the outline below, by completing three distinct assignments. This may seem confusing now, but you will soon see that it makes sense to do it this way. In the professional world, when a research proposal is finalized and submitted for funding consideration (for example, to the National Science Foundation or other granting institution) it usually follows the structure of the outline below, regardless of the steps it took from inception of the idea to completion of the proposal.
