Do you consider yourself more large or small with respect to power distance?
Power Distance describes the relationship between leaders and followers in terms of dependence and interdependence. Hofstede, Hofstede, & Minkov (2010) define it as “the extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organizations within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally” (p. 61). In large power distance cultures, organizations tend to be more hierarchical with centralized planning. Leaders are deferred to for decision-making and are expected to be a benevolent autocrat. In contrast, small power distance countries have flatter organizations with decentralized planning. Leaders consult with subordinates in decision-making and are expected to be democratic. In the sense of French and Raven’s (1959) sources of power, large power distance cultures’ sources of power are referent (or charisma) and coercion. Small power distance cultures’ sources of power are expertise, legitimate (or formal position), and reward (Hofstede et al., 2010, p. 77-8) (Rohm, 2014, p. 1).

Evaluate and discuss the applicability of Piaget’s theory of  cognitive development

Psychology homework help
 Cognition and Our Environment
Prior to engaging in this discussion, read Chapter 4: Cognition,  Learning, and the Environment in your required e-book, review the  article “Socially Situated Cognition in Perspective” and the Instructor  Guidance, and view the video What Are Schemas? (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
Cognition incorporates numerous variables that are suggested to  affect how we learn. For this discussion please address the following  theories that support this suggestion:

  • Evaluate and discuss the applicability of Piaget’s theory of  cognitive development. Why are developmental phases important to  consider when addressing how we learn?
  • How does effective schema development affect our ability to move knowledge (memories) from working memory to long-term memory?
    • How do the differing types of schema (Table 4.2: Types of  comprehension-associated schema in your required e-book) potentially  play differing roles? Why might one type of schema be harder for a  person to develop than another?
  • How does the term reciprocal determinism further explain the dynamic  of learning that is suggested to be affected by our environment?  (social learning theory and social cognitive theory)
  • Based on your previous answers, how do these sub-theories and frameworks affect your own learning success, past and future?

 Make observations and discriminate between scientific and pseudoscientific explanations

Discussion
Make observations and discriminate between scientific and pseudoscientific explanations  weigh evidence and make decisions based on strengths and limitations of scientific knowledge and the scientific method  use knowledge of biological principles, the scientific method, and appropriate technologies to ask relevant questions, develop hypotheses, design and conduct experiments, interpret results, and draw conclusions Directions: 1. Select one of the following topics: A. Genetically modified food. Humans are now capable of manipulating the genetic codes of certain plants and animals in our own food chain. What are some of the foods in your supermarket that have been genetic altered? How have they been altered and why? What does sound science have to say about potential risks to the environment and human health, associated with GMOs (genetically modified organisms)? Be careful to search for the science in scientific journals rather than GMO industry’s own websites and reports! Based upon your research, do you think there is a clear answer as to how safe these foods might be to humans and the environment? Clearly explain your reasoning. Note that this should be a discussion of genetic alteration of organisms by laboratory methods (such as gene insertions, etc.) and not by selective breeding (breeding one animal or plant with another for desired traits).
Find 3 scholarly, scientific articles related to your topic and the questions described in 1. While you are definitely encouraged to use web sites, books, and other materials as resources to help you learn about your subject, note that the assignment is to find three published scholarly articles; This means articles in professional scientific journals. Encyclopedias, Q&A or “How-To” web sites may NOT be used as references in any collegiate research paper (you should also be critical of the information they supply as most of these sites are open-sourced – i.e., not verified). Assistance with evaluating web resources can be found at http://sites.umuc.edu/library/libhow/scholarlyjournals.cfm. For more on what constitutes “scholarly” see the UMUC library page on searching for scholarly articles at http://libguides.umuc.edu/science and my Guide to References and Citations under Course Resources > Profs Helpful Docs. Lastly, note that any resources I have given you in the above descriptions do not count toward the required three articles. 3. Write a paper of 1000-2000 words (not including your references), double spaced, in 12 point Times New Roman font. Note that I am happy to approve a larger word allowance if you feel you need it. Your paper’s format should be as follows: First, clearly summarize each of the three articles, making it very clear to me which is which. I strongly suggest you use headers or at least phrases like, “According to the article by so-andso”… so that I know when you are summarizing an article as directed. If I have to struggle to determine when and/or which article you are summaring you will lose points! Next, use what you’ve learned from your research to answer each of the questions asked in the topic description (any that have not already been answered in your article summaries). Be sure to give credit to your sources as you do this by using in-text citations, and strive to incorporate the concepts and principles of BIOL103 in your answers. Lastly, express your own ideas on your topic. For the best grade, you are strongly encouraged to use subject headers in your paper. Remember to limit your use of direct quotes when writing. Collegiate Writing Standards dictate that quotes should account for no more than 5% of the total text. If you do use quotes, you must include a specialized in-text citation including the page or paragraph number (Adams, 2014, para.12).

Criminal homework help

READ the following scenario and answer the questions below.
It is 2018. Ben recently lost his job. The bank is about to foreclose on his house. He decides that the quickest way to get money is to rob a convenience store. He grabs his .40 Caliber Beretta sub-compact pistol and makes his way to the nearest convenience store.
Ben pulls into the parking lot and notices a woman talking on the phone. He walks up behind her and touches her hair (he thinks it is beautiful). The woman turns around, slaps him, and yells, ‘You creep! I am going to call the cops!’ to which Ben replies, ‘charge me with what? Hair touching?’
Ben then decides to make haste on the robbery idea. He enters the store and pulls his Beretta out. However, Ben is a ‘softee’ and would never kill anyone. He would never have the nerve to pull the trigger. He demands the money in the cash register from the clerk. The clerk begins gasping…he clutches his chest, falls to the ground, and instantly dies from a heart attack. Ben didn’t intend to kill anyone!
Ben then gets scared. He runs out of the store without the money. Ben forgot to holster the firearm; while running away from the store, he trips and falls to the ground. When he hands, his finger is pushed back on the trigger, from impact, and the gun fires a round. Ben looks towards the direction where the gun fired, and he sees Pogo the Clown holding his chest with blood soaking his costume. Pogo the Clown falls to the ground and dies.
Ben runs to his 1998 Geo Tracker and makes a speedy getaway. Ben thinks to himself, ‘Whew! I am glad I didn’t take the money or shoot anyone. I could have wound up in prison for a long time.’
1. Has Ben committed Felony Murder?
2. If charged with murder, would the circumstances warrant a charge reduction from murder to manslaughter?
3. Could Ben be charged with assault, or battery, for touching the woman’s hair? Explain.
4. Could Ben be charged with murder for Pogo the Clown’s death?
Essay: Your essay should be 2-3 pages and follow these guidelines:
* Double-spaced
* 12 -point Times New Roman or Arial font
* One-inch margins
* APA format (Title page, Citations, Reference page)
* Correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation
