1. Complete Writing Assignment#6

2. For this assignment you will respond to questions based on information discussed in Exercise 11.2 on page 342 of the textbook (You must have the newest edition of the textbook for this chapter). This is an individual only discussion post, therefore there is no small group discussion or summary response for this assignment. The small group discussions were assigned in Week 8.
a. According to the text, “There is a popular view in social science that, in the 21st century, many people find themselves in “liquid times,” where men and women increasingly live without any solid bonds: that is why the term “liquid” is used, suggested by the famous Polish-born thinker, Zygmunt Bauman (Bauman, 2006). He describes how people have moved away from a “solid” culture with established norms, customs, roles, and values to different type of modern “liquid” life. People today have little consistent self-definition because they define themselves in such a variety of ways nationally, sexually and so on. Having no permanent bods, more people associate themselves in whatever way they can manage, in order to engage with others. As a result of these changes, adiaphora has emerged–a permanent attitude of indifference and moral numbness. In a contemporary word of fast food and shallow relationships, where attention is riveted on personal electronic devices when we rarely have time to settle on any issues of importance, people of a liquid culture are becoming increasingly selfish, losing their sensitivity to the plight of others (Bauman & Donskis, 2013).”

2. Experiences/Opinions Concepts : (this criterion should take approximately 1-2 paragraphs to address)
a. In your  personal experience, do you find that MORE people around you have little self-definition, defining themselves whichever way they deem convenient? Thoroughly respond to this question. Clearly provide examples AND support your response with information presented in Chapter 11.
b. Do you feel that people around you are becoming increasingly indifferent or detached? If so, how? If not, provide examples which negate or do no support increasing indifference. Thoroughly respond to this question. Clearly support your response with information presented in the Chapter 11.

In addition, it demonstrates that the student has gained understanding of the topic beyond the information presented in the readings.
 

One- or two-page MS Word document
A traveler just arrived at the airport and will depart in a couple of hours. List at least five information systems you can think of that he or she will have experienced in order to get on this plane before he or she steps on the jetway (the portable tunnel between the gate and the plane). Which information system would you, as a traveler, value the most in this process and why?

4-I really enjoyed reading your post. I agree that interaction is when one variable relies on the effects of another variable. I really like the example you gave about over weight men having higher cholesterol than overweight woman. This The variable being that if it is a man or woman that is over weight will affect how high the cholesterol is.
 
5-If I was comparing chantix, nicotine patch, and placebo these three variables would be appropriate for ANOVA versus a t-test that compares less variables.
 
6-An interaction is when one variable is dependent on another variable. This means that if one variable changes it can affect the outcome of another variable. There are many factors that go into my job working as an Occupational therapy assistant at a hand and shoulder rehabilitation center. First the doctor that preforms surgery with efficiency. As therapists we need to do our jobs and follow protocol, to get the body part functioning properly again. The patient needs to do their job and complete their home exercise program as instructed by the therapist. All these variables will assist in allowing the patient to have the best possible outcome.
