Image of two dancers performing modern dance.Sometimes learning occurs best when students are given a few basic instructions and then allowed to discover more for themselves. Such learning can be enhanced when students share what they have found with one another. This exercise will give you the opportunity to take what you have already learned from the textbook and the PowerPoint lecture and dig deeper through class interaction with various samples of dance.

Chapter 6 makes it clear that Conflicts do not occur in a vacuum. The conflict climate, consisting of threats of power abuse, competition, distrust and defensiveness, may cause the conflict to escalate. How does Chapter 6 relate to your life situation? The purpose of this essay is to apply correctly the key concepts, principles, and suggestions from Chapter 6 to conflicts in your life. In 250-500 words, write a brief essay in which you apply key concepts and suggestions from Chapter 6 to your own life situation, past, present, or future. The Objectives and Key Terms at the top of Chapter 6 identify the key concepts in the chapter. Address the following questions in your essay: Define and explain two key concepts from the reading that stood out to you; please include page numbers, cite from the textbook, and end the essay with a reference to the textbook (citations/ references should be in APA style).

We need to research and write about a biological influence and psychological/social influence on a chosen facet of sexuality. I have attached a topics list to pick from. I would prefer the topic “pair bonding” but it is largely up the the writer based on the sources they find. We need to find four primary sources to cite to support our claims, two primary sources to support the biological influence on our facet of sexuality and two primary sources to support the the psychological/social influence. I’ve also attached assignment instructions and the rubric, and an APA guide.   PSYCH 204 HUMAN SEXUALITY Research Assignment Instructions Select one facet of human sexuality (e.g., sexual orientation, gender identity, attraction) and discuss BOTH of the following: • A biological influence on your chosen topic • A psychological or social influence on your chosen topic The purpose of this assignment is to help you develop insight into the biological, social, and psychological perspectives that inform issues of human sexuality. As we have seen, many topics in this course are multifaceted and have multiple influencing factors. Examples of topics and hints about what would make an appropriate topic are posted to D2L. The assignment is worth 16% of your final grade. Without approved documentation, late assignments will be penalized 10% per day, including weekends. Documentation must be submitted before the deadline to be considered. Citations You will need to cite two primary sources for the biological influence and two primary sources for the psychological/social influence, for a total of four primary sources. A primary source includes a book or a peer-reviewed journal article. Using a magazine (such as Scientific American) is not a proper peer-reviewed source and will not get you full marks. Do not use Wikipedia for your references, as Wikipedia is open to edit by anyone and is not peer-reviewed. Remember that you MUST cite every idea that you write about that is not your own. Even if you just cited the same source in the sentence before. When in doubt, include a citation. It is better to paraphrase an idea than to directly quote it – use direct quotes sparingly and only when they are really necessary for impact. Remember though that when you paraphrase it is still an idea from another source and it must be cited. Format The total assignment will be a maximum of four pages, not including your cover page and reference (i.e., up to six pages altogether including the cover page and reference page). Use Times New Roman, 12 pt font, double spaced. Use 1” margins on the page. You must follow proper APA formatting to get full marks (details about APA formatting are posted to D2L)

Please read the instruction exactly , and the citation should be the college art history coverage. In this week’s lesson, and in previous weeks, we have discussed works of art and the contexts in which they exist/are shown. How does seeing an object in its original context, and in a new (and perhaps unintended) context, change the way a work of art communicates? What, for example, is the difference between seeing a medieval altarpiece in the context of the church ( and perhaps a particular chapel) for which it was made versus seeing the same altarpiece at the Museum of Fine Arts behind glass? Or, seeing a Minimalist cube in a gallery for which it was made versus outdoors in an open-air courtyard at the Museum of Modern Art? Along with the differences, are there any similarities in the two experiences (“original” versus new settings)? Please note that the point here is not to choose a “favorite” setting (original or new), but simply to reflect on the similarities and differences in the experience of the work of art when its setting has changed. Finally, can you cite at least one example of a work of art discussed in this course in which the original setting has been changed? Discuss. Post your thoughts, following the instructions below. Your post should be two to three paragraphs long.

Responses should have a thesis, analysis of the articles, and your own opinions. Do not simply summarize or paraphrase the articles.

James Lee Hymes (1913-1998), an American “psychologist-educator” in his own words, wrote: “Play for young children is not recreation activity. It is not leisure-time activity nor escape activity. Play is thinking time for young children. It is language time. Problem-solving time. It is memory time, planning time, investigating time. It is organization-of-ideas time, when the young child uses his mind and body and his social skills and all his powers in response to the stimuli he has met.” To what extent can we relate this quotation to second language acquisition/ learning?
