Nature * Voice * Ability to move * Appearance Nurture * Characteristics * Shyness * Being abused at a young age * Appearance In this assignment I will be explaining how nature and nurture are involved in Michael Jackson’s development of his childhood and adulthood. I will start of by explain what is meant by Intellectual, Social, Physical and Emotional development. Then I will carry on explaining the different events that occurred in Michael Jackson’s life and how it was either nature or nurture. Intellectual development: “Begins shortly after birth, when babies learn to use their brains to play, respond to caregivers and familiarize themselves with objects and other people in the attempt to learn about the world around them. The process continues through all of children’s lives, as they go to school, form intellectual relationships with others and learn new skills. Intellectual development continues to the end of a person’s life, but it can be largely impaired by illness, emotional insecurity, failing eyesight or hearing or through the lack of communication with other people.” (http://www.ask.com/world-view/intellectual-development-mean-b363c12a7264f641#full-answer) Emotional development: “Refers to a child’s growing...

...Michael Jackson fact file: Michael Joseph Jackson was born August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009 was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actor. Called the king of pop his contributions to music and dance, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. Michael Jackson has his own websites so his fans could check out his songs and updates also honour his music. Michael Jackson did his autobiography in a book and was published in February 1 in 1988. Five months after the release of Jackson’s 1987 Bad album, and named after Jackson’s signature dance move, the moonwalk. Michael Jackson was 58 when he died. Dubbed the "King of Pop," singer-songwriter Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana. As a child, he performed as the lead singer of the Jackson family's popular Motown group, the Jackson 5. No single artist – indeed, no movement or force – has eclipsed what Michael Jackson accomplished in the first years of his adult solo career. Jackson changed the balance in the pop world in a way that nobody has since. He forced rock & roll and the mainstream press to acknowledge that the biggest pop star in the world could be young and black, and in doing so he broke down more barriers than anybody. But he is also among the best proofs in living memory of poet William Carlos Williams' famous verse: "The pure products of America/go crazy." When Jackson died on June 25th, 2009, of apparent cardiac arrest...

The individual I have chosen is Michael Jackson, I have chosen him because I think that his life was very interesting and I’d like to explore all the other aspects of this life. I will need explain what I think could/should happen to Michael Jackson at each life stage. Conception Michael Jacksons parents Katherine Jackson and Joe Jackson would have conceived Michael around about November 1957.Conception is the making of a new beginning of life , now each women should be born with a full functioning birth system sometimes when a women does not function properly she may not be able to have children and conceive. Each month hormones are released such as follicle stimulating hormone and estrogen, these hormones help follicles develop and help the uterus to get thick and to get prepared for the fertilization of an egg. Each egg leaves the woman’s ovaries and it goes into the fallopian tube, then after this process it gets travelled through to the uterus. It all starts during intercourse, when a man has intercourse with a woman he inserts sperm into her vagina about 250 million sperms would have been ejaculated into the vagina. Every sperm looks the same as it has a long tall to enable it to swim and force itself up to the fallopian tube. This is where all the magic happens in the woman fallopian tube, the tube...

... whether we have straight or curly hair or how tall we will be. We can also inherit certain disease which can seriously impact on our health. However, we can make decisions on how we look and change our appearance. There are many different cosmetic procedures available to alter our appearance. How we live our life and the choices we make can also have an impact on how we look. For example, eating junk food and not exercising can lead to obesity. The environment we are brought up in and the experiences we have, can influence our health which contributes to physical development. An example of how nature and nurture affect our physical development is; we may carry genes that increase our risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but if we eat a healthy diet and get sufficient exercise, we may not develop the disease. The genes for characteristics we inherit are called genotypes. The actual express of these characteristics are phenotypes. The phenotypes are what decide our physical traits such as; eye colour and height – they can be seen. Genes we inherit can affect our health. For example, a daughter is more likely to have breast cancer if her mother has had it. However, our life choices and the environment can increase our chances of having breast cancer. There are two main arguments on this...

...Young and Middle Adulthood Case Studies Gloria Cena BSHS 325 September 17, 2015 Marco Esteem Young and Middle Adulthood Case Studies There are many changes a person needs to go through during the process of young and middle adulthood. Individuals will usually experience young and middle adulthood between the age range of 23 to 45, but may last up until the age of 50. During this time individuals will begin to establish an independent identity to separate themselves from others. Individuals will also start to attain certain life goals such as a family and dream job. Everyone is different and may experience young and middle adulthood at very different ages. This can be caused by an individual's psychological and environmental factors. Tina's study case is an example of that. Tina is a 45 year old single mother of three adult children. She is divorced, but is in a relationship with a man that is the same age as she is. She is currently having problems with her adult son that has had run ins with the law and is currently participating in a rehab program. Her son resides in her home but is not motivated to look for work or contribute in any way. Tina spends most of her time working out at the gym. Tina cannot see the harm she is causing to herself and those around her. As mentioned before, Tina is divorced. Her husband left her for much younger and attractive females. She has become self conscience about her appearance that she is obsessed with exercising...

...resemblance in actions, events, or persons discussed herein to actual actions, events or persons is merely coincidental. NAME: Michael Jackson AGE: 50 DATE: May 25, 2009 PRESENTING INFORMATION AND REASON FOR REFERRAL: Michael Jackson is a 50 year-old African-American male who under the advice of his family and friends, has agreed to seek voluntary counsel for on going issues related to an illness known as body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). Michael does not openly admit that he suffers from BDD, even though in the past 25 years he has gone through multiple cosmetic surgical procedures. Michael stated “I thought I was ugly - my skin was too dark, and I decided that my nose was too wide. It was no help that my insensitive father and brothers called me 'Big Nose”. ( J. Randy Taraborrelli, 2008). Michael Jackson was referred to me for a diagnostic evaluation. HISTORY OF PRESENTING PROBLEM AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Based on my clinical interview with the patient, from a very young age, he grew up in the spotlight, and as his career progressed his insecurities about his body have become increasingly apparent. At the age of 21, Michael had his first rhinoplasty after breaking his nose, he quickly followed this with two more, citing “ the surgery had not been done properly “, and a fourth procedure to create a cleft in his chin. Michael only claims to have had three surgeries, however the continuous distortion of his appearance implies otherwise. Contributing to Michaels’s...

...Product Life Cycle of Pepsi: 1) Pre-launch – the 1890s In 1898, pharmacist Caleb Bradham developed ‘Brads Drink’, a formula designed aid digestion. After strong interest from consumers in his pharmacy, Brad renames the drink ‘Pepsi-Cola’ and purchases the trademark ‘Pep Cola’ for $100. The origins of Pepsi are very similar to that of Lucozade, which was also first produced for medicinal purposes. Although $100 does not appear much, adjusted for inflation that amount of money in the 19th Century is equivalent to $2516.34 in 2014. This highlights the difficulties companies have in the pre-launch phases with surviving periods of negative cash-flow, large research costs and development expenditure. 2) Introduction – 1902 Brad began selling Pepsi-Cola and achieved sales of 7,968 gallons of syrup in the first year. Objectives: Brad aimed to generate initial awareness and trial of his product, and far exceeded his targets! Product: Only a basic product was launched – Pepsi-Cola was initially sold even without bottles. Instead the product was sold through soda fountains located in Brad’s pharmacies. Price: Initially a simple cost-plus pricing strategy was used. It is likely that Pepsi-Cola started with a skimming strategy, to quickly recuperate start-up costs. Place: A highly selective distribution is initially recommended, and this is evident with Pepsi-Cola only launching in Brad’s pharmacies. Advertising: To generate awareness, a celebrity endorsement with...

...adopted into the business strategy as organisations were unwilling to accept or change their ways. Their focus was on economic growth for the company. However researchers such as Hezberg, Maslow and Lewin revealed that employee performance was influenced by their social and emotional needs and their desire for interesting work. This is when the shift began for companies to not only focus on economic growth, but to satisfy the needs of their employees in order to improve performance and productivity which will bring greater success to the company. Human resource management has a number of key policy areas including recruitment and selection, job analysis and design, workforce planning, performance management, training and development and career planning. It is through these policies that we can understand the concept of strategic human resource management (SHRM). SHRM explicitly links these policies, practices and systems to enable the achievements of an organisations strategy and goals. In my understanding, SHRM represents an attempt to methodically manage employees in a proactive manner with a clear view to the future as well as the present. The main principles that tie this definition together include; organisational strategy, visions of the organisation, organisational culture, ensuring employees have the relevant skills, abilities and attitudes, viewing employees as an investment and not a cost and evaluating and assessing HR practices. These...

...daughter is better with her sleep. However, she began climbing out of her crib just after turning two and we made the move to a toddler bed shortly after. It is quite a challenge for her to fall asleep; when she does, she does not stay in her room and wakes up during the night. It occurs to me that my son has never learned to become a good sleeper and it has affected many areas of his life. He is often tired but refuses to sleep; he is cranky and quick to show emotions in extremes with very large tantrums. These symptoms are more contained and less noticeable when he sleeps through the night and/or goes to sleep at a reasonable time. Similarly, my daughter refuses to sleep and misses naps, or has shortened them considerably when she does nap. We observed that after a night of multiple waking, and/or short or missed naps, she will have what we have learned are possibly Night Terrors. Researchers are consistently trying to understand the full impact of sleep on health and normal development. What is the connection to routine, proper nutrition or genetics? Does it occur in any specific stage or length of time? What are the more common sleep disorders that affect children in early childhood? Is there a link to amount of sleep achieved throughout the day/night? What...

Jackson School of Management and Labor Relations, Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA and Lancaster University Management School, Lancaster, UK Abstract Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to describe how the understanding of the relationship between human resource management (HRM) and organizational effectiveness (OE) has evolved during the past three decades and to provide examples how firms are using HRM to improve their OE today by addressing several challenges that result from a broader stakeholder model. Design/methodology/approach – This paper reviews the past and current work on the relationship between HRM and OE. Findings – This findings indicate that the relationship between HRM and OE is very different when comparing the past with the current work on the relationship between HRM and OE. A major reason for this is the current work on OE uses the multiple stakeholder model that accounts for many more stakeholders than the past work. Practical implications – Human resource (HR) professionals have the opportunity to demonstrate many ways by which HRM can influence OE, and not just solely on the basis of firm profitability. Thus the use of the multiple stakeholder model today offers the HR professional and the HR profession many more opportunities...

...Role of Analysts and Designers The primary role of systems analysts and designers is, of course, to produce a computer system solution to a problem that meets the customer’s requirements. This task can easily be so absorbing in itself that there is seemingly no time left over for thinking about the non-technical issues surrounding the introduction of a new IT system, much less for setting up a people project to address them. So even if the people project is not driven by analysts, designers, or even IT managers, it needs their active support. Many of the tasks carried out by analysts in the early stages of an IT development project have outputs that the people project will need to draw on. For example, the process of creating data models and data flow diagrams may raise questions of data ownership, which need to be fed to the people project to resolve, perhaps through a redefinition of rolesand responsibilities or the introduction of a new procedure. Likewise, if systems analysts have done a detailed assessment of costs and benefits, this will give the people project some idea of the messages they can use to sell the new IT system to users and managers. Analysts can also draw on the people project for valuable help in areas such as human–computer interface design, discussed in Chapter 15. The look and feel of the HCI can be one of the most significant factors in determining a user’s response to a system. The people project can help create the conditions in which HCI...

...| Young Public Leaders Are Usually Less Effective Because They Have So Little Experience | | | Kijafa Parker | PAD 515 – Leadership and Conflict ResolutionDr. Michael PopejoyWinter 2012 | 1/22/2012 | Abstract From the foundation of civilization to the formulation of nations and countries from military conquest or marital alliances; to revolutions and civil rights marches to peaceful protest and occupy movements, many leaders have been anointed, appointed, ascended to, declared or elected to positions of leadership. Whether wise or foolish, old or young, experienced or not, the innate tendency by people to judge the effectiveness of the leader and his ability to lead is either celebrated, questioned, tested, scrutinized and critiqued. In the current age of 24 hour news cycles, which often highlights the troubles of young leaders, there is an air of doubt and dismissal as to the ability of “Generation X and Y”, or those considered young to successfully lead, organize and have a following that is progressive enough to resolve problems. Tradition The basis for questioning the effectiveness of a young public leader can be attributed to physical traits such as appearance, height, weight as evidenced in 1 Samuel 9: 1 and 2 which states, “a Benjamite, a mighty man of power. And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher...

Caleb decided to rename it “Pepsi-Cola,” and advertised his new soft drink to enthusiastic customers. Sales of Caleb Bradham (circled) was too focused on serving his customers Pepsi-Cola to pose for this picture. Pepsi-Cola started to grow, convincing him to form a company and market the new beverage. In 1902, he launched the Pepsi-Cola Company in the back room of his pharmacy, and applied to the U.S. Patent Office for a trademark. An official patent was awarded on June 16, 1903. At first, he mixed the syrup himself and sold it exclusively through soda fountains. But soon Caleb recognized that a greater opportunity existed—to bottle Pepsi-Cola so that people everywhere could enjoy it. 4 BUILDING THE BUSINESS BUILDING THE BUSINESS Advertising Pepsi-Cola as “Exhilarating, Invigorating, Aids Digestion,” the business began to grow. Caleb sold 7,968 gallons of syrup in 1903. Two years later, he awarded two franchises to bottle PepsiCola to independent investors in Charlotte and Durham, North Carolina. In 1906, the number...

...Jalen Taylor Take Home Exam Fall 2011 Marvin Broome 1) Black culture has an interest and unique background that is very questionable. Curiosity about black culture arose during the Harlem Renaissance in the 20s but the Black community became more concerned during the 1960s. The concerns of the black community were the possession, meaning, reappropriation and reconstruction of their culture. It was during this time that many blacks shifted from the ideal of integration towards the resurgence of Black Nationalism. This movement sparked an interest in the Black culture, as well as the role in life and struggle. From here, a strong commitment to revitalize, reconstruct and actually construct Black culture came about. This newfound inspiration to rediscover the black culture led to the unveiling of a few paradigms that were centered on the theme of bits and pieces of the Black culture being lost or forgotten. The Deficiency Paradigm argues that Blacks have no real culture, that slavery destroyed it, and that what passed as Black culture was simply a pathological reaction to Whites, a duplication of them or an expression of lower-class culture rather than a specific Black culture. The Crusian Paradigm argues that although culture must be seen as central, the three factors of culture, politics and economics must be welded together into a dynamic synthesis and social strategy. Both of these paradigms argue that Whites have tried to destroy black culture by forcing their...
