Trajectory

human societies develop along a universal "evolutionary" trajectory from small and egalitarian to large and socially complex”. I believe that this statement is inaccurate, all societies that have come to existence have not all developed on a universal trajectory (small to large). I believe that there are many different evolutionary possibilities in societies. In Norman Yoffee’s article, page 72 figure 6.6 shows a more accurate trajectory of evolution in social complexity where there…

approximately the same age (Bjorklund, 2011; D. Newman, 2012). Transition: Is a process of gradual change that usually involves acquiring or relinquishing roles, but it can be any change in status , such as change in health status (Andrew & Ruel, 2010). Trajectories: Involves a longer view of long-term patterns of stability and change in a person’s life, involving multiple transitions. Life Events: Is a significant change that may produce serious and long lasting effects (Settersten, 2003a).…

improved. Three developmental theories will be examined in an attempt provide a response of why delinquency persist over a period of time for some individuals while it decreases for others as they mature. Propensity theory, life-course theory, and trajectory theory, focus their attention on the diverse stages of a criminal’s…

historical past, due to the belief that history itself would always resonate and reoccur throughout the spectrum of time. In encouragement to the preservation of our history, Daniel Boyd’s artwork ‘Untitled PSM’ (2014) conveys the idea of how the trajectory and movement of historical knowledge that is passed back and forth becomes lost and forgotten throughout time. As a result, due to this lost of information we are conditioned with the inability to fully comprehend our past or to a larger…

In this exploration the trajectory of a spacecraft from Earth to Mars will be calculated. The aim is to determine the geometrical shape of the trajectory and what type of curve it is. Finding the interplanetary trajectory for a spacecraft is a real life problem, especially the one between Mars and Earth. It is currently solved by sophisticated computers but I am interested in learning how it is done. To do this Newton’s law of Gravitation has to be taken into account. It states that any two…

internalizing-related psychopathology. To this end, we employed multi-group Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Fourth, we examined the contribution of captivity (ex-POWs vs. controls) to the differences in the 17-year trajectories of PTSD and depressive symptoms using Latent Trajectories Modeling. Finally, we employed parallel process latent growth modeling to examine the contribution of captivity (ex-POWs vs. controls) to the bidirectional associations between PTSD and depressive symptoms over…

Type two diabetes mellitus is a chronic illness requiring patient education and frequent assessments to reduce the risk of health complications. Controlling the disease requires major behavioral and lifestyle changes including: following a prescribed diet, taking oral antidiabetic medications or insulin, increasing exercise, reducing weight, and frequent blood glucose assessment. Per the American Diabetes Association (2016), diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States of…

full regardless of the number of staff they had employed or the medical acuity these residents brought with them. Lingering dying trajectory means that a person is in the dying process for a long period of time, which can be costly in a financial sense as well as emotionally. With technology and medicine today, it is common for someone to have a lingering dying trajectory which increases the need for assisted living, nursing homes, and long-term care facilities. Apart from Emeritus, the growing…

A case study reflecting on observations of children’s schematic interests. In the paper I will be discussing the history and theories of schemas. I will include observations on a child’s schematic interests and my role as the practitioner. A Schema is a pattern of repeatable behaviour into which experiences are assimilated and that are gradually coordinated. (Athey, 1990:37) Children’s patterns are influenced through their genetically pre-determined biological development and the socio-cultural…

The content knowledge a teacher must have in order to enact high quality mathematics instruction includes, but is not limited to, place value, quality relationships with students, an understanding of the learning trajectories, and knowing one’s own beliefs and mathematical identity. Knowledge of place value and an understanding of the base-ten system is critical content a teacher must have in order to enact high quality mathematics instruction. In the lower grades where I have taught for seven…
