Simulation

Living in poverty is hard and stressing; that’s what I learned from playing the simulation “Spent”. Before playing this simulation, I thought that poverty is easy to overcome, just get a good job and don’t spend a lot of money. After playing this simulation, though, my thoughts changed. It’s actually hard to not spend a lot of money. Gas, heating, electricity, health care, food, transportation, insurance, cell phone coverage, and shelter are all necessities that a person from modern times needs,…

I attended the Bertha Strong Stroke Simulation event on March 1, 2016, at the Arizona State University Downtown Phoenix campus held at the Mercado building. I had attended this event in the past thought it would be interesting to compare my experiences. I was surprised to find that my first comparison would be the registration and receipt of materials needed to prepare for the event. It may have been due to familiarity with the process, but the current process seemed more coordinated. The…

In the simulation Spent, the players are forced into the challenging reality of a single parent living paycheck to paycheck from a minimum wage salary. I ended day thirty with $199 due to the challenging choices I was required to make. In my perspective, after day thirty I could click the simulation off, however, that same choice is not given to the countless number of other U.S. workers living Spent. The choices presented in the simulation-paying for healthcare, union forming, and receiving…

questions is the simulation theory, which is similar to the Brain-in-Vat theory. The simulation theory argues that all of life is a computer simulation, which would mean the keyboard I’m typing on is fake, my parents fake, your children fake. The world we live in is reality for us, but is it actually real. If the world was a simulation and there was a button in front of me that would end it, I would. It would be ignorant to know the truth and deliberately ignore it and allow the simulation to…

Simulation Report (Russia) The UN Security Council in class simulation was a sufficient interdictory to the process of international mediation and dialogue. Students representing the participating nations were able to engage in dialogue while lobbying for their nations cause. In this process it became very clear from the on set that the five nations on the UN Security Council who had the authority to vote on and veto resolutions held the most power and leverage over the simulation . Therefore…

Amber Mathews Discussion 2 The difference between correlation and causation is that correlation is a statistical measurement that describes the direction and size of a relationship between two or more variables. It is an action or occurrence that correlates with another. For example smoking is correlated with drinking alcohol but doesn’t cause alcoholism. Causation describes that one event happens because of a different event or a cause and effect relationship. It is an action or occurrence…

HUDSON VALLEY LITERACY CONSORTIUM NYSED three year HVLC contract was received and submitted last week. The total contract amount is $635,112. LC will receive $75,589 annually or a total of $226,767 for the next three years - representing a 20% increase over last year ALE funding. The contract terms is for five years, however the program years is only for three with the possibility for a two-year extension. After carefully consideration of George Mann’s suggestion to merge the consortium, the…

The team simulation exercise allowed the team to practice our collaboration skills and emotional intelligence. During the past two days, I have had the opportunity to learn a great deal about myself as a leader and team member and observe others’ behaviors and how they influence the team’s dynamic and effectiveness. As a result, there were many lessons gained that helped to guide the learning environment. To begin, I exhibited what is categorized as self-limiting behavior during the first day…

One method of providing students the opportunity to try out a career is through participation in simulation exercises that require them to perform the day-to-day functions of a particular career. Simulation laboratory experiences may allow participants to identify how they feel about a career by allowing them to apply knowledge gained from lectures into simulated scenarios based on real-world situations they may experience on the job. It is well recognized that although faculty continue to rely…

In conclusion, the overall aim of our project was to research the mathematical modelling of HIV and then create our own simulation. Obviously with our simulation, and in fact any simulation, we faced various difficulties. In definition, a simulation is an imitation or representation of a system using another system. (Dictionary.com) Thus by definition it will never be truly accurate to real life, the goal is to make it as accurate as possible and to take into account the margin of errors in the…
