Chapter XYZ: Money

1- I learned that gold and silver and other precious metals have served as money and medium of exchange for centuries.

2-  I learned that paper money was created to represent a specific amount of gold and silver to make carrying and exchange easier as carrying gold and silver is heavier and less convenient.

3- 3- I learned that “gold standard” in the history of money and financial markets refer to paper money being represented by gold, or gold backing the value of paper money.

4- 4- I learned that anything could serve as money as long as it has the following properties.

a.Cannot be easily replicated

b. Can be stored and carried easily

c.Widely accepted and recognized

d. Not perishable

e. Preserves its value relatively well

f….

g…

.h. ..

.5- I learned that today’s money is fiat money, meaning that it is not backed by gold or silver or anything. It is just a piece of fancy paper and has value because the government says it has value and it has all the functions of money.

 Answer three (3) of these Discussion Questions (2 from the A set, and 1 from the B). Please give enough examples and information to support why you have the opinion you do.   

Length: ~ 75-100 word each answer; 250 – 300 words, total. 

Set A. Choose two (2) of these prompts to answer and discuss.

It is true that society and arts in the West are more secular than they were in the past. But to what extent does religion continue to influence popular arts? Choose a popular song or film and comment on elements of it that might be influenced by religion. Include an active link to a song and written lyrics, or to the trailer for a film.

The Hebrew and Christian Bibles and the Islamic Qur’an all present the commandments of God. They are strikingly similar.  Presumably all three religions pray to the same God.  Briefly explain some of the disputes they have with each other.

At the beginning of Whitman’s book of poems, Leaves of Grass, is the line, “For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.” While this would at first appear not have anything to do with religion, the text points out that in fact Whitman was strongly influenced by a certain religion.  What was it?  Explain the influence.

Would the discovery of life on other planets strengthen or diminish the role of religion in modern society? Explain.

Set B. Then, choose one (1) of these to answer and discuss:

5. In your opinion, are humans naturally inclined to greed, rebellion, and evil? What forces, both inner and outer, cause humans to do evil? What forces cause them to do good? You should also consider the fact that we need to discipline children and need governments to keep people in line.

6. Some philosophers claim that humans are naturally good, and that they are only corrupted by a depraved society. One might wonder, then, since society is made up of humans, where does this depravity come from?

Clinical Field Experience A: Observation of Learning Environments, Grades K-12

/in /by

 

Prior to your field experience, review the requirements of all field experiences for this course. Create a document to share with your mentor teacher detailing your requirements for all field experiences for this course, as well as what is being requested of your mentor. This document should include the scheduling required to complete all assignments. 

The ability to effectively manage a classroom and meet the behavior and instructional needs of students both with and without disabilities is very complex.

Choose a special education classroom, selecting the grade level (K-12) and classroom setting (resource, self-contained, or inclusive classroom) you are most interested in teaching. You will use this field experience to observe and experience the many considerations involved in that setting.

Allocate at least 4 hours in the field to support this field experience.

Observe and collaborate with a K-12 certified special education teacher in an inclusive classroom, resource room, and/or self-contained classroom on the elements that help create a positive, safe, and productive learning environment. Your final observations and summary of your hands-on experiences will be due in Clinical Field Experience B.

While you are observing, use the “Observation Template” to take notes about the elements of the classroom learning environment.

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

At the bottom of the “Observation Template,” provide a 250-500 word rationale why you chose this grade level and environment to observe. Summarize your findings about the elements of the classroom learning environment in the “Observation Template.”

Explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice, specifically in terms of how you will work with paraprofessionals, other faculty members, and teachers.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

FINANCIAL SUCCESS

/in /by

  Watch the video 10 Secrets to Achieve Financial Success on YouTube.  I suggest you watch the interview at least a couple of times before you write your response.  We always miss important and interesting details when we read, watch or listen to something only once.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a51wQAOGR4&t=6047s

This is an interview with trading educator Anton Kriel.

Also read article on the power of “no”.  The idea in this short article goes well with the ideas Kriel presents in his interview.

QUESTIONS

 Topic For Composition Exercise #2:
At six minutes into the video interview we get an idea of the theme/purpose of the video.  Why does Anton Kriel want to do this interview?  The video is less about trading and the “narrow issues” of respecting money, assets and liabilities, alternative education, mainstream media, etc. and more about “wider issues”.  What are these “wider issues”?  Which one of the ten “secrets” do you find most useful and how could you apply it to your life?  Please answer these questions and explain your answers.  Also quote from the video.

 

PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

 For your composition exercises please write:
1. (format) a 500-word composition.  Use Courier New, 12-point font and double space and MLA style. 

2. (content) Your composition needs an answer and specific details for each question in the topic.  Within your 500-word limit you must cite from the material you’ve read and/or watched to support your ideas. As Abraham Lincoln wrote, “It is a pleasure to be able to quote lines to fit any occasion.”  Use two-three quotes from the sources in your composition to “fit” your interpretation of the material.

3. (focus) Stay focused on the topic.  Everything you write should have a connection to the topic and your ideas. 

4. (clarity) When you proofread check for common errors like fragments, run-on’s, commonly confused words, tense shift, subject-verb disagreement, spelling, etc.  Try to adhere to the KISS Principle.  This means keep your sentences short and simple and divide your composition into short easy to read paragraphs.

Discussion Thread: Case Study

/in /by

Topic: Case Study

Thread:

For your thread, you will develop a case study by creating a scenario involving a child between 3–12 years of age. Write as if the child is being referred to you or your agency for help with a presenting developmental or behavioral problem. Include adequate, yet concise information. You only need to include the most relevant details. This should include demographics, family dynamics, parenting styles, cultural considerations, influence of religion, behavioral history of the child, temperament, and other pertinent facts that make your case unique. Do not make your presenting problem a mental illness diagnosis like bipolar disorder or conduct disorder. Instead, the issue must be relevant to development and the challenges related to development for a child this age. You must include enough detail and clarification that your classmates can analyze your case study using the theories and developmental concepts from the readings during Modules/Weeks 1–2. Be sure to meet the 250-word requirement and to include at least 2 sources (for example, you might formulate a case involving divorcing parents and therefore provide some information from a source about the effects of divorce on a child). You may use the textbook as one of your sources.

Brief Example: John is 3 years old and has just been placed in foster care. His parents were arrested after it was discovered that they were manufacturing methamphetamines in their home. His foster parents say that he cries uncontrollably and has tremors. He does not walk well and has a limited vocabulary for his age. They wonder if he has been exposed to drugs. Apparently, John and his mother stayed in the home and rarely left. The father worked various day jobs, sold drugs, and was only home late at night. His mother was very protective and affectionate towards him but established very few rules, and he was allowed to wonder freely in the home, eat when he wanted to, and sleep wherever he wanted to.
