Evolution: “when science trumps faith”. (pp159) Chapter 7 discusses evolution in the most literal sense possible: the creation of earth and life without any assistance from God. As one might imagine, it is centered on the teachings of Dawkins, whose stance on evolution is clear and unforgiving. Dawkins starts out with the argument that “evolution fully accounts for biological complexity and the origins of humankind, so there is no more need for God.” (pp163) I enjoyed Collins’ quick and cunning…

1. Focus on the overall “security assessment” risk rating that appears at the top of your report. Considering what security measures you (or the computer owner) have undertaken for your computer, does the assessment surprise you? Why or why not? What measures should you plan to undertake if the green checkmark did not appear? After seeing my result assessment I was actually surprise from my results. My personal computer (PC) actually received “severe risk” and “blank or weak password” which it…

09.07 Task 1—Normal Distribution Scores on a statewide standardized test are normally distributed with a mean of 12.89 and a standard deviation of 1.95. Certificates are given to students whose scores are in the top 2% of those who took the test. This means that they scored better than 98% of the other test takers. Marcus received his score of 13.7 on the exam and is wondering why he didn’t receive a certificate. Show all work to determine whether Marcus’ score was high enough to earn a…

As I mentioned in my chapter seven reflection, there are nearly an infinite number of reasons why children may act out during the school day. Some more examples include, the amount of free space in the classroom, the lack of down time, too much stimulation, pent up energy, and incompetence when completing assignments, just to name a few. Believe it or not, but all of these can be prevented with just some extra thought and effort from the teacher. For example, he or she needs to consider what the…

1. How is the Moon dependent on the Sun? The Moon is dependent on the Sun for its different lunar phases. Although these phases may not be essential to the existence of the Moon, they would not occur without the Sun. Neither a lunar nor a solar eclipses would be possible without the Sun, again. Also, although this is not a direct dependence upon the Sun, if the Sun did not give the Earth an object to orbit, the Moon may never have fallen into orbit with the Earth. 2. How are seasons created?…

The crusades first started by Pope Urban II who wanted to retrieve Christian land from the Muslims who ruled them. This feat launched seven crusades before it ended during the 13th century. During this era, trade was a great commodity and vast. This may have influenced costumes worn in the era. Fabrics and raw material were widely available which made garments and changed the social status associated when wearing them, however, peasants costumes were relatively unchanged during this period. The…

Chapter seven begins when Theodore Roosevelt became the governor of New York in 1899. He discovered that if he wanted to improve the handling of natural resources in New York he had to do that through the New York State Fisheries, Game, and Forest Commission. This agency had done very little, because the members were decided by their political influence. Since 1888, George Bird Grinnell had been trying to get the administration to be separated by politics. He believed the leaders needed to be…

When approaching modern psychology, there are seven major perspectives you could attack it from. The perspectives are psychodynamic, behavioral, humanistic, cognitive, biological, evolutionary, and sociocultural. There is also the biopsychosocial model, which is a more balanced approach that considers the influence of biological, psychological, and social factors. All seven of today’s major perspectives make important contributions to the field of psychology. These perspectives work best when…
