DISCUSS THE FACTORS THAT LEAD TO RAISING HEALTHY CHILDREN.

DiscussionCOLLAPSE
Raising children today is not easy. Their health is impaired by diet, lack of exercise, environmental toxins, and stress. They are subject to bullies in school, negative influences in the media, and they are pressured to grow up too fast. Technology has exposed children to so much more than they used to be exposed to. Given all of these impacts, discuss the factors that lead to raising healthy children. What would you do to raise your children to be well-adjusted physically and emotionally? How would you handle the attraction of technology in your household? Support your discussion with readings from the textbook or other authoritative sources found via the College Library.

What is an Effective Program?

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

Connecting the Dots: What is an Effective Program?

In Chapter 10, the text addresses primary, secondary and tertiary prevention programs. What are these levels? Give an example of an effective program in each level. Give a brief description of each program, its intended purpose, and target juvenile population. Why do you think they are effective?

When responding to one of your classmates, address one of the programs with a focus on one of the text’s questions below concerning prevention programs. Select one bullet below and present the positives and the negatives for the issue addressed:

Does every juvenile who has been arrested need treatment? Should all juveniles arrested receive the same treatment services? Why or why not?

Should prevention programs be given to everyone, and if so, where? Should we consider ethnicity, race, education, socio-economic standing?

Are the services worth the taxpayer costs? Consider both financial and social costs.

Should we mandate prevention for school aged children, their parents, or for both? What if the parents refuse to participate?

What role does the state have in addressing pre-criminal, status offenses or delinquent behavior? Should the state have the authority to force parents to participate? What sanctions should the state have to enforce compliance?

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7 and continue to support your arguments with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources.

PLEASANT VIEW NURSING HOME ESTIMATES THAT ITS BUILDING WILL LAST

PLEASANT VIEW NURSING HOME ESTIMATES THAT ITS BUILDING WILL LAST

 NO COMMENTS
Pleasant View Nursing Home estimates that its building will last another ten years and then it will need to be replaced. The home estimates that the capital cost of a new building in ten years will be $10 million. The home plans to set aside a portion of an endowment fund in government bonds to ensure it has sufficient funds to pay for replacement of the building. If we assume that the yield curve is horizontal, the current interest rate on all Treasury securities is 9 percent, and the type of security used for the building fund is Treasury bonds, then the present value of $10 million discounted back ten years at 9 percent is $4,224,108. Suppose interest rates change from the current 9 percent rate immediately after the nursing home has bought the Treasury bonds. What would be the value of the bonds at the end of ten years under each of the following situations? (For simplicity, assume annual coupons).
a. The home buys $4,224,108 of 9 percent, ten-year maturity bonds; rates fall to 7 percent immediately after the purchase and remain at that level; rates rise to 12 percent.”
b. The home buys $4,224,108 of 9 percent, 40-year maturity bonds; rates fall to 7 percent immediately after the purchase and remain at that level; rates rise to 12 percent.

 Psychology homework help
 Constructivism
 
Prior to engaging in this discussion, please read chapters five and  six in your e-book and review the Instructor Guidance. You will discuss the theory of constructivism and its  relationship to learning.

  • Constructivists suggest that a person’s reality is unique from  others and thus, effects what, how, and how effective knowledge is  acquired. This is suggested to be affected by numerous variables such as  culture, past experiences, and past knowledge.

Consider the following as you discuss:

  • What does logical positivism suggest to us about constructivist-based theories? Do you agree or disagree?
  • How do exogenous constructivism, endogenous constructivism, and dialectical constructivism differ and why does it matter?
  • How does situated cognition (discussed in Week 3) support the suggestions made by constructivism?
  • Discuss a personal experience where you feel constructivism  ideologies explained either the effectiveness of, or the  non-effectiveness of, the learning experience. Would you consider this  learning experience exploratory learning, inquiry learning, or  problem-based learning? Why?
  • What implications in learning effectiveness might exist if construction of individualized knowledge is negated?Individualized Knowledge Construction
    Learning Objectives
    After reading this chapter, you should be able to do the following:
    · Explain the fundamental ideologies of constructivism.
    · Describe social constructivism and this perspective’s views of learning.
    · Compare and contrast situated cognition and the foundational ideas of cognitivism.
    · Explain the premise and variables associated with sociocultural theory.
    · Discuss how problem-based learning supports constructivist-based learning theories.
