ece 332 child development

The debate concerning the influence of inherited traits and abilities compared to the influence of environment on human development has been argued for decades.

In this discussion you will debate nature vs. nurture. Below is your assigned debate grouping by the first letter of your last name:

  1. A-M: Proponent of Nature
  2. N-Z: Proponent of Nurture

Due by Day 3: For this debate, you must develop a persuasive, research-based argument showing the extent to which your assigned influence affects development. Be sure to utilize both the course text as well as other scholarly resources to support your argument. Remember, you are arguing that either nature or nurture is the most important influence on development.

article response

In “From Scrolls to Codices,” Henry Petroski examines the material properties of early texts, how they were read, and how they were stored.

In “The Shape of the Book,” Alberto Manguel discusses the development of books, their format, construction, and the early history of book publishing.

In this response, please address the following questions:

1) According to Petroski, what is the difference between a scroll and a codex? How were scrolls stored? What were they made of (and how did this material affect the design of scrolls)?

2) Manguel writes that the effect of Gutenberg’s printing press was “immediate and extraordinarily far-reaching.” What was Gutenberg’s first book? What did the appearance of early printed books attempt to imitate? What does this suggest about the development of any new medium? (Think about the icons and appearance of a modern computer “desktop.”)

Response essay

/in /by

You must write a 2 page response to a document from the Major Problemstextbook, before we have discussed it in class.

The first part of your paper should be a candid response to the document.Did you enjoy this document, did you find it overly long, or difficult to understand?Why did you choose this document to respond to?Did something about it stick out as familiar or surprising?Was there something you found interesting or intriguing?

The second part of the paper should be a textual analysis focused on why the document was created in the way it was.What type of document is it (an article, a speech, a letter, etc)?Who was intended to read it? What did the author want to accomplish or say through the work, and just as importantly- were they successful in their aims? Why or why not? What choices did they make that allowed the work to achieve that aim (or not)?Does your analysis of the document relate to your earlier reaction to the document (is it suitable that you didn’t find a supreme court case to be very exciting, or that a political speech was written in clear accessible language)?Remember to be specific and use examples from the text (with citations) to describe your ideas.

You may choose when to complete these, and which readings to focus on, but this first paper is due 4 December. The papers should contain citations for the information you use and the evidence you provide to support your ideas as well as a bibliographical reference.

Managing Special Hazards

/in /by

You have just been hired as a National Laboratory’s Environmental, Health, and Safety Manager. You were pleased to see that the previous manager had disposed of nearly all of the wastes stored in the hazardous waste facility but noticed that there was an adjacent shed with a sign that read “Do Not Enter – Authorized Personnel Only.” You also noticed that the door was cracked open and upon shining a light inside, you saw:

  1. A cardboard box labeled “Asbestos (friable) – Insulation.”
  2. A large wooden box labeled “Portable Gauge, Cesium-137.”
  3. A 55-gallon drum labeled “Paint Chips – Pb.”

As you moved away from the door, you saw two large containers on the grass on the side of the shed:

  1. A 55-gallon drum labeled “PCB Transformers” (with obvious corrosion and oily liquid saturating the ground adjacent to the drum).
  2. An old 20-gallon plastic container marked “Pesticides – ???? unknown” (with obvious spillage on the ground).

A day after taking photos of these five items and emailing them to your boss, you get a voicemail from your boss asking you to meet her and the lab director the following week to present a plan to identify and dispose of these items and any contaminated soil adjacent to the shed.

Your Task: To ultimately dispose of these five items, describe (for each) how you would determine the physical, chemical, or radiological properties of the items in sufficient detail to assess their hazard level (toxicity, etc.) so that they can be accepted by a licensed disposal facility.

Note: You should be able to identify specific methods (chemical analysis, survey meters/instrumentation, monitoring devices, etc.). Provide URL links to commercial vendors that can provide testing, analysis, and instrumentation in the above identification.

Your response should be in APA format including a title page and a reference page. An abstract is not required for this assignment. The body of your paper (not including title or reference page) should be approximately 2-3 pages.

Topic Choices

  • Reading selection from Descartes’ Discourse on the Method (Part IV). Descartes begins with a proof of one basic conclusion and ends with a proof of something much grander. Remember to focus on the surprise and point of realization, not the details of the philosophical argument. Read Part IV of the Discourse on the Method located at http://www.earlymoderntexts.com/assets/pdfs/descar… (then scroll down to Part 4, pp. 14-18). This is only four or five (4 or 5) pages of the larger work.
  • Reading selection of Swift’s A Modest Proposal. It is essential to recognize the genre of this work, as discussed in our class text, which you should consult and cite. Swift promotes a radical solution, but subtle options are mentioned. You are looking for surprise and a point of realization. Read and focus on A Modest Proposal located at http://www.victorianweb.org/previctorian/swift/mod….
  • Two (2) reading selections from Voltaire’s Candide. Consider how these readings start and end in terms of the action and the beliefs. You are looking for surprise and a point of realization. These selections can be found on pp. 840-841 in the textbook. In addition, consult the class text at pp. 824-825.

For the reading selection you choose:

  1. Clearly state in your own words the “surprise ending” in the reading you selected. Clearly identify the point in the reading when you realized that there were elements in the reading that surprised you. Not all of the surprises come at the end.
  2. Evaluate how successful the author was in convincing you to accept the validity of the “surprise ending” that was different from what you expected.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA Style format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. (Note: Students can find APA style materials located in the Additional Resources section of their Student Center within their course shell for reference)
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
  • Use the source(s) identified above for the topic you choose, focusing on the main primary source of that author. You may use additional sources also if they are of good academic quality for college papers (Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify). Use proper APA style in-text citing and also a matching APA style References list at the end.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Explain how key social, cultural, and artistic contributions contribute to historical changes.
