Developing the practical skills of observing a child in detail and successfully interpreting your observation results is critical to the Occupational Therapy practice. The aim of the video observation assignment is to identify a child’s gross and fine motor abilities, visual perception, social skills, language, and play habits to determine the child’s strength and weaknesses through effective interpreted perceptions. To provide some background information to illustrate the context of the video,…

If you want to avoid a catastrophic climate change within the future of your existence, then the conversion of natural gas to liquid gas is not the answer for the future that you want for the America of tomorrow. So far, LNG plants seem to be the energy source that will bring a solution to the global warming disasters that fossil fuels have caused to the ozone layer, but the process of liquefying natural gas to an energy source is an intensive process. Brownsville is a city where it gets most of…

Human development is often compared to as the choice between what was inherited compared to what is obtained. In the following, we will compare the human development of children and changes that occur for students in between the ages of 6-7 versus the ages of 8-9. Information obtained from the Standford’s Children’s Health page helps us gather different milestones that age groups meet socially, intellectually and with what fine motor skills are developed. Physical aspects of the child ages 6-7…

In the United States we have a large population of people and a high demand for resources to fuel our constant need for energy. It would seem logical with having such technological advancements in our country we would have found a way to reduce the amount of natural resources needed to survive, as well as our carbon dioxide output. Currently the consumption and production of taste materials exceed the necessary amount of land or sea available to absorb the CO2 we are putting out. The required…

In current American politics, the topic of climate change is a contentious issue split largely along partisan lines. Still, the extensive amount of evidence showing the effect of greenhouse gas emissions on the environment has led many Americans to call for a ‘green revolution’ and the installment of environmentally friendly practices in not only product but energy consumption. Thomas Friedman once said that “You’ll know the green revolution has won when the word ‘green’ disappears,” (Begley).…

One way to measure a civilization’s technological capability is to assess its ability to collect, store, and utilize energy. Since the first industrial revolution, a process spurred forward by the ability to harness coal as an energy resource, humanity has undergone massive technological advances that have transformed nearly every aspect of human life. The continued advancement of human society is reliant upon the ability to harness more and more energy, but at some point our energy demand will…

Different Influences on Intelligence Dolphins have been named the most intelligent animal on the planet (Hoher, 2016). Similarly, other animals such as dogs are great human companions because people perceive them to be intelligent. The observations make one question the capacity of intelligence in humans and animals and the ways to measure it. Some intelligence tests measure the abilities needed for the success of specific cultures (Vernon, 2014). There are several different influences of…

Australia’s climate change policy Like other countries, Australia has drawn on a wide range of measures for reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. Since the late 1980s, climate change policies have been introduced at all levels of government. Climate change policies began with voluntary schemes such as energy labelling (initially in New South Wales and Victoria from 1986) and the national Greenhouse Challenge Program for industry from 1995. Energy labelling was made mandatory from 1992 and…
