Cite and reference your sources in APA style.Click here for information on course rubrics.Carey, G. (n.d.). Debunking brain myths. Retrieved from Microsoft. (n.d.). Compress your media files. Retrieved from Problem solving and critical thinking, these buzz words, regularly used in educational circles, refer to particular learning skills and outcomes educators would like to see in their students. A Google search of the phrase critical thinking draws 28 million results in less than one second. In the same amount of time, problem solving generates nearly 72 million results. While neither of these would be considered effective web searches for research purposes, the number of mentions of these terms helps to see the prevalence of these ideas in society.In the course text, Carey (2014) looks closely at these two phrases to help determine how they influence learning experiences. The challenge for you this week is to begin to consider how the two concepts problem solving and critical thinking are or are not effectively translated to the current context of education and the work going on in schools daily.Carey (2014) also discusses the importantand often unnoticedwork done through perceptual discrimination. Ones senses are alive with information and are constantly processing the world around him or her to help make conscious (and subconscious) decisions about ones next move or action. Research shows that ones skills at perceptual discrimination are refined from an early age, and individuals are constantly becoming more skilled at effectively identifying and responding to the most relevant environmental inputs (Scott, Pascalis, Nelson, 2007). How this work affects learning is one of the areas you will consider this week.However, one of the realities of the research being done in the areas of cognitive and neuroscience is that ideas are often taken out of context or purpose. Great ideas are generated from research, but understanding why these ideas work in these ways is not always clear or accurate. One challenge as a teacher is to be continually aware of the impact of current research on the brain and its effect on classroom practice.This week, you will have the opportunity to explore some of these challenges and consider what is known about classroom practices. Are they research based?Carey, B. (2014). How we learn: The surprising truth about when, where, and why it happens. New York: Random House.Scott, L. S., Pascalis, O., Nelson, C. A. (2007).

Assurance for Teamwork Essay Response
I want a reply post to the below essay in 200 words using apa format and journal articles:The guarantee for the team members to accomplish the target task is to complement each other and give full play to each person’s specialty to make it synergistic. This is the spirit of collaboration, which is the essence of teamwork. Set up different positions, select different talents, give different treatments, cultivate and affirm, let each member be able to express their strengths, and then gather all the specialties together. The goal of the team is based on clear project objectives, so the team manager must clearly outline the overall project objectives, project scope, work breakdown structure, schedule, etc. in the work plan. And because team members have their own personal goals when joining the team or project, the team manager should fully consider the factors of personal goals when formulating the project’s sub-goals. If team members’ personal goals are organically combined with the project goal, in the future the team members can get great support during work. In the process of designing the team, factors such as corporate and personnel need to be considered. The Personnel factor, for example, respects the individual’s hobbies and specialties.It is important to form and train team members. The success of a task is closely related to the quality of the team members. Put the right people in the right place, give full play to the strengths of the project team members, and then bring their results together to achieve the team’s work goals. But sometimes, it is not necessary to choose people with the same style to be paired into groups. Working with different styles of staff often helps to complement each other, inspire and create better collaboration benefits.A smooth communication channel is needed. Without the establishment of a good communication channel, it will hinder the communication between team members, and it is impossible to create a good collaborative team. Therefore, team managers must ensure that a complete communication network is established as early as possible, and effective two-way communication in the communication channel enhances understanding and friendship among members and fosters the spirit of teamwork.The establishment of Team-based reward and recognition structure adopted by corporation has greatly promoted the enthusiasm of team members and the strengthening of teamwork. In addition, team managers must distinguish between individual incentives and team incentives. Personal incentives must be fair, otherwise it will affect collaboration among project members. Team motivation can boost morale and promote team building.Part 2?When we feel attached to certain group, it is because in this group, we have a sense of belonging, we can feel the atmosphere of the home in the team, even if this home is not perfect. The deeper sense of identity always comes from the fact that everyone in the group can contribute to the same goal. Everyone participates in the team building and development, and everyone adds their strength to the team’s achievements.
Assignment 2: lasa 1: theories of development and application
Description
In this assignment, you will explore and apply theories of development to your personal experiences.
Background
Understanding theories of development is key in psychology. All people proceed through specific areas of change and growth in key areas as they go through life. Whatever path we take in life, understanding theories of development will assist us in motivating and guiding others, as well as understanding ourselves.
Instructions
Apply the theories of development to your personal life experience by answering each of the following questions.
Jean Piagets Stage Theory of Cognitive Development: At what age do you feel you entered the stage of Formal Operational Thought? Explain the stage briefly and then focus on providing examples of ways your thinking has shifted to indicate you have developed into this stage of reasoning. (For instance, provide an example of how your views of justice or morality have shifted as youve matured.)
Developmental Stage Theory of Erik Erikson: Choose one stage from Eriksons Developmental Stage Theory and apply it to your own life. Explain the stage, age that it occurs, and how the central challenge of that stage played out in your life. What was the outcome of this stage for you? Did anything happen in your life prior to that stage that affected the outcome? How does the outcome from that stage affect how you are today? Provide specific details that demonstrate your understanding of the stage you choose.
Lawrence Kohlbergs Theory of Moral Development: Considering the moral or ethical decisions that you have made in your life, describe one decision you made based on one of the three levels of moral development. Be sure to clearly explain the level of moral development and clearly identify the underlying ethical reasoning behind your decision. (For instance, you may explain a decision you made based on Preconventional morality when you were a child, or you may focus on a decision you made from a higher level of development as an adult.)
Developmental Milestones: Motor Development. The unfolding of biological potential is known as maturation. Motor skill development in babies is mostly controlled by the process of maturation. Think about a child that you have known (yourself, your own child, a friend or family member). Describe how the child progressed from rolling over, to sitting, standing, and walking. At what age did each milestone occur? Did the development occur in a typical sequence based on what youve learned in your text? Is there anything that occurred in the childs environment that either delayed motor development or facilitated it? What is the difference between maturation and learning, based on your readings and observation?
Your response should be a 34-page Microsoft Word document written in a clear, concise, and organized manner. Be sure to demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., APA); and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Poetry analysis comparison contrast
Paper #1: Poetry Analysis Comparison Contrast
Due Week 6
Minimum page requirement: 4-5 pages/1000-1250 words
Double-spaced
MLA documented
Steps for Writing a Poetry Analysis
1.Read each poem twice. Try to analyze your first impression of it and write down a few comments.
2.Research the author of the poems if you are not familiar with him or her yet, and the history of the poems creation. Try to find out what inspired the poet and what gave rise to the idea for this particular poem, whether it was a reflection on what the poet personally experienced or witnessed, etc.
3.Read the poems once again, this time slower. Try to pay attention to the particular word selection, organization of the poem and poetic figures used, etc.
4.Start your poetry analysis with a description of the story, or situation, depicted in the poem. Make sure to answer these questions: Where? When? What happened? What is described? Who is involved? Pay attention to how the author develops the story and what instruments are used to indicate the culmination of the poem.
5.Now move on to the technical side of your poetry analysis. Analyze the poems rhyme and meter, and the structure of each stanza. Define each poetic figure used and give specific examples of allegories, metaphors, hyperboles, personifications, similes, litotes, and other literary devices. Try to identify the mood of each stanza, whether it is ironic, sad, cheerful, bitter, romantic, philosophical, etc.
6.Give your personal reflection of the poems what you think it is about (normally, there is a figurative sense behind every poem). Here you can go back to your primary research about the author and the poems history.
7.Give a conclusion. Mention, whether you enjoyed the poems and whether the poet, in your opinion, succeeded in bringing particular feelings and ideas to the reader (the one the author supposedly intended to bring up, in your understanding of the poems).
Poem I
By Pablo Neruda
If You Forget Me
I want you to know
one thing.
You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.
Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.
If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.
If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.
But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.
Poem II
By Sara Teasdale
I Am Not Yours
I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.

Answer to this essay -200 words minimum(o)
I need to make an answer based on this essay on Purnell Model as a cultural competence. Must be a minimum of 200 words. References supporting the answer should be included.
Purnell model contains rings that explain the development of cultural awareness and how it expands. It outlines the elements that impact an individuals culture. This model is utilized as a model for teaching intercultural competence in different professions. Even though this model was initially developed to be applied to nursing students, it can be used by other professions such as teaching and management among others (Mardis Oberg, 2019). It uses various ideas and concepts on individuals, cultures, healthcare professionals, and healthcare. With this model, it makes it possible to create and evaluate cultural competence. The cultural characteristics may be based on factors such as religion, race, sexual orientation, physical characteristics, and gender, among others.
The Purnell model contains twelve cultural domains. The first domain is the overview/heritage. It describes concepts that are related to a country of origin, politics, economics, and occupation, among others. Second domain is communication. This involves the concepts that are linked to languages and dialects. Third domain is family roles and organization. Its concepts are interconnected with the head of a household and roles based on gender. The fourth domain is the workforce. Its concepts are linked to autonomy and communication styles based on ethnicity, among others. The fifth domain is bicultural ecology. Its concepts are based on an individual ethnic and racial origin. Sixth domain is high-risk behavior. This may involve issues such as the use of drugs, among others. Seventh domain is nutrition. Its concepts are involved with an individuals nutrition such as food choices (Mardis Oberg, 2019). The eighth domain is pregnancy and childbearing which is involved with concepts that are related to fertility practices. The ninth domain is death rituals which are involved with the cultural view of death. The tenth domain is spirituality which is involved with religious practices. Eleventh domain is healthcare practices which focus mainly on healthcare. The last domain is healthcare practitioner which focuses on concepts such as status and perceptions of tradition.
Assumptions
The first assumption of the Purnell model is that all healthcare professionals should be impacted by the same information on cultural diversity. All healthcare professions should also have the same metaparadigm concepts of health, person, community, and family. The second assumption is that no culture is superior to the other. Cultures are different but have similarities. The third assumption is for a caregiver to increase or improve their self-awareness, they need to know about cultural awareness. The fourth assumption is that for a provision of culturally sensitive and culturally competent care, healthcare professionals need to have information on cultural-general and cultural-specific. The fifth assumption is that there are various factors that healthcare should consider for it to be effective. Some include attitudes, beliefs, and values among others (Mardis Oberg, 2019). The sixth assumption of this model is that understanding culture will help in reducing cases of bias and prejudice. Lastly, everyone should be respected regardless of their cultural heritage or uniqueness.
How this model helps us to provide cultural competence healthcare
Purnell model may be used by healthcare providers in any healthcare setting and hence may help in the provision of a team-oriented healthcare environment. The model provides a framework that can be used by healthcare providers in different settings and disciplines. This model will hence lead to improved opportunities, provision of individualized care, and prevention of illnesses and diseases (Douglas, Pacquiao Purnell, 2018). With the general knowledge and skills in culture, healthcare professionals will be culturally competent.

Research and psychology -please give your opinion
Hypotheses: Teenagers who spend more time per day on social media sites such as Facebook are more likely to have lower self esteem than their peers who spend less time per day on social media
The research method I would use for this study is a correlational design, which would allow us to see to see if there is a positive or negative correlation between social media use and teenagers self esteem (Lilienfeld, Lynn, Namy, Woolf, 2011.) A case study would not be of much use in this situation, because it would be difficult to apply the experiences of one or two teenagers to teens as a whole. An experimental design would allow us to infer causation, (Lilienfeld, et al. 2011) but would be difficult to control, assuming the teenagers are all using social media for different amounts of time each day. It would also be difficult to find a control group of teenagers who are not using social media at all- there may be other factors, such as socioeconomic status, that may effect both their self esteem and their access or lack of access to social media. It would also be difficult to use naturalistic observation for this study because it is difficult to measure self esteem through observation, so some self-reporting or surveying would be required.
I would survey a randomly selected group of students from different high schools across the United States, and ask them how much time per day they spent on social media, what they typically posted about on social media sites, and which social media platforms they preferred. The second part of the survey would have them rate themselves in a few categories using a scale from 1-10 to estimate their self esteem and confidence levels. The data would then be placed on a scatterplot to see whether the correlation is positive, negative, or zero.
It would likely be challenging to find subjects willing to self-report honestly about their self esteem levels. The subjects may engage in response sets in order to make themselves appear differently, depending on what results they think the researcher is interested in. (Lilienfeld, et al. 2011) Another challenge of this study would be the lack of ability to infer causation. We could find a correlation between high amounts of time spent on social media and low self esteem in teenagers, but that does not necessarily mean that one causes the other. There could be a third variable causing one or both variables to occur. (Lilienfeld, et al. 2011)
