...Carmen Shragal Profesor Shaun Vecera Elementary Psychology Discussion Section 31 8 October 2014 The Terrible Two’s My beautiful niece and god-daughter, Lia, just turned two years old a couple of months ago. My family and I are already noticing some behaviors that are associated with the “terrible two’s”. Since Lia was born she has always had her fingers in her mouth to bite her nails. This habit constantly makes her sick because of all the germs she puts into her mouth from daycare and everyday activities. Also, Lia has another bad habit of playing with multiple types of toys and leaving them all over the house for others to trip on. With both of these bothersome and dangerous behaviors, Lia’s mom (my sister Emily), has been trying to teach Lia not to continue these bad habits. In order for Emily to really teach Lia to stop her bad habits she must appreciate operant conditioning. Operant Conditioning is how Lia will learn to differentiate between her behaviors and the consequences that Emily enforces. In some cases, Emily can also use classical conditioning to help Lia break her habits. Classical conditioning is when there is a neutral stimulus that causes an unconditioned stimulus which eventually translates into a conditioned response. The difference between operant conditioning and classical conditioning is that operant conditioning involves some type of reinforcement or punishment to a behavior whereas classical conditioning involves signals that produce automatic...

...Terrific Two’s Talking to new parents you may think, "Just wait till she is two! Then you'll really have it!" But are the 'Terrible Twos' really that terrible? I propose that the label of 'terrible' is just a myth. “It’s an old fashioned idea and not supported by research,” says Alan Kazdin, PhD, director of the Parenting Center at Yale University. The age of two can be difficult for several reasons, for example; two year olds are opinionated, mistaken, stubborn, moody, sensitive, and rebellious. Like pediatrics.com states "The terrible twos can be Characterized by toddlers being negative about most things and often saying 'no'," Although those attributes can be tough to deal with, and require much patients from the caregivers part, these...

She is telling him not to go to Flash Fairy, because they will catch him, and only people like him will understand him. He walks in to the forest with the thought; that if he...

...Works that have stood the tests of time, such as canonical texts like Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Jekyll and Hyde and Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, have proven themselves influential over and over again in every field of the arts. They have impacted and altered the course of history and set the bar for other great works of fiction and have even inspired other worlds entirely; moreover, Stevenson’s and Wilde’s work have had a conscious and subconscious effect upon such successful work as Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club, Bret Easton Ellis’s American Psycho, and even Bob Kane and Bill Finger’s Batman which has a story that spans over decades. The dualities that appear in Stevenson’s and Wilde’s work pay tribute to mans’ opposing, and even conflicting, nature that rage inside them. On one hand you have the desire to be an outstanding moral citizen, while on the other you have the desire to give in to your more primal inclinations. In Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dorian, who heard his friend’s hedonistic world view, decides that beauty is the only aspect of life pursuing and wishes that his self-portrait would age instead of himself. After breaking the heart of his first love, he discovers that his wish has been granted. His portrait begins to age instead of him and also changes and alters itself based on the moral choices Dorian makes. When he leaves his first love, Dorian notices that there appears a sneer of cruelty on his portrait that wasn’t...

...understood the sole purpose of its creation. Something so very common, yet, so misunderstood--identity. In Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, we see that not only is an older man struggling with his identity, but that it was also decades ago when this story was written, suggesting that an identity crises is nothing new and that we all go through it at some point in life. “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.” ― Oscar Wilde. I found this quote relevant to this particular story and that the two go hand...

...Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde When reading the story of Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde many readers are able to easily relate the situations that are occurring and place them into their own lives. Many psychologists and philosophers have also seen this and have done research to see why this has come to be. George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, a philosopher, began to research the duality of human nature before this story was even written; he concluded that every conflict has a thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. Hegel is easily able to explain the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde by using his own Hegelian Dialectic. In the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll is determined to find a way to let his alter ego; his other personality, the evil Mr. Hyde allows Dr. Jekyll to release the anger that he keeps in that are caused by the social ‘norms’ that are present in this time period. In comparison Dr. Jekyll is seen as being a cultures young man that had many of the characteristics or a well to do man in the Victorian time period. Mr. Hyde on the other hand is seen as vulgar, disrespectful and is seen as a monster throughout the book. Both personalities of Dr. Jekyll try and balance each other out but are not able to which leads to the ultimate self destruction of both. The idea of the Hegelian Dialect, that everything have a thesis, antithesis, as well as synthesis can be seen throughout the book as a reflection of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. One of the first impression that we receive of Jekyll is...

...Heroism in the Twin Towers | | | 1) One reason as to why some people act heroically in emergencies while others do not is based on the fact that heroic people possess positive morals and traits (Johnson, 2012). Furthermore, those people that possess positive morals and traits make good choices and will respond to a situation immediately (Johnson, 2012). In the case study, Heroism in the Twin Towers, the rescuers displayed positive morals and traits by using crowbars to break through drywall and opening stairway doors in order to reach out and help the victims escape being fully aware that at any given moment they could have injured themselves in the process (Johnson, 2012). Another reason as to why some people act heroically in emergencies while others do not is based on the fact that heroic people have a high moral identity where moral principles and character traits are the core of their being (Johnson, 2012). Furthermore, people with a high moral identity have a positive approach to life as well as a strong desire to do the right thing demonstrating will power and integrity to help others in need (Johnson, 2012). In the case study, Heroism in the Twin Towers, the rescuers displayed the most notable case of a high moral identity as they were willing to sacrifice their life so that the victims can live (Johnson, 2012). 2) The type of characteristic traits that the rescuers demonstrated in rescuing the victims from the Twin Tower attacks were courage, determination...

...In the novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a story of mischief and selfishness occurs. It's like this, there is a man called Dr. Jekyll he doesn't like who he is so one day he thinks of a potion that makes his good part split away from his bad part. That is when Mr. Hyde comes into the picture; he is the bad part of Dr. Jekyll. Mr. Hyde likes to party have a good time and cares less about others, but Dr. Jekyll is a caring Doctor whom everybody adores and loves. Mr. Hyde gets himself into a lot of trouble in this story for example he gets a man killed and pushes down little girls for fun Mr. Utterson, a lawyer and a friend of Dr. Jekyll's, finds something peculiar about Dr. Jekyll and decides to keep a close watch on him. One day the potion stops working for Dr. Jekyll and he can't turn back into himself, he stays in the body of Mr. Hyde, the dreadful, ugly, little midget whom nobody likes. When Dr. Jekyll becomes Mr. Hyde he is able is live out things he wouldn't dream of doing. It also scares him a bit because when he drinks the potion and becomes Mr. Hyde, he cannot control what Mr. Hyde does. He gets totally out of control and has no regard towards others. Which may be the the complete opposite of what Dr. Jekyll believes in. But in a weird way, being Mr. Hyde appeals to the Dr. because Mr. Hyde is the darker side of his identity. In this novel, Jekyll exploits his other half to do things that would make him lose all respect, things...

...Memory Cost By Frank Bolton Phillips NT1110 Friday 6p.m. This is to help me discover and appreciate the difference in the cost of RAM and ROM in today’s market as well as where is where it came from and where it is going. It is easy to find information on this subject as everyone seems to want in on the computer boom and profit from the ever growing demand for faster computers with huge memory. Ten years ago you would have found yourself spending over $2,000 to get just 1GB of RAM. As computer manufacturers recoup cost of R&D, the prices start to drop. Today it would only cost around $20 to purchase the same 1GB of DDR3 providing considerable savings over a decade ago. What appears to be the best deal for the money is 2GB on RAM which runs around $40 and slows enough memory to run most applications. There are other types of memory available to all of us if you’re willing to pay the price of admission. For example, some of the more exotic types of RAM can still run hundreds, even thousands of dollars. For instance, I found Super Talent 1TB STT RAID DRIVE GS RAID0 for $4,815.00 on Memory Suppliers.com. They also offer iRam 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 SDRAM PC2-5300 667MHz for $119.00. I find this is a very nice web site that is easy to navigate through and find and compare the memory you’re looking for. The following table I got from Archive Builders web site. It shows the growth to cost difference for 32 years. This was determined by the increase of the density of disks...

...Binary Numbers Binary numbers are ”Base 2” numbers. Binary numbers follow all the same rules as Base 10 number (our decimal system) Binary numbers are made up of combinations of 0's and 1's Place Value – Base 10 Base 10 numbers have place value... … 1,000's 100's 10's 1's These are powers of 10.... 1 = 100 10 = 101 100 = 102 1000 = 103 etc... Each place value increases by a factor of 10... hence ”Base 10” Place Value – Base 2 Base 2 numbers have place value... … 8's 4's 2's 1's These are powers of 10.... 1 = 20 2 = 21 4 = 22 8 = 23 etc... Each place value increases by a factor of 2... hence ”Base 2” Binary to Decimal Take the binary number 10110011... To convert this to a decimal number, look at each digit and its place value. Start with the right most digit (1). It is in the 1's place so it has a value of 1 (1x1=1). The next right most digit is in the 2's place. It has a value of 2 (1x2=2). The next right most digit is in the 4's place. It has a vlaue of 0 (0x4=0). And so on.... 1x27 + 0x26 + 1x25 + 1x24 + 0x23 + 0x22 + 1x21 + 1x20 = 179 So... 101100112 = 17910 Place Value - again...
