...Century National Bank The Century National Bank has branches in several cities primarily in the Midwest and Southeastern part of the United States, but smaller offices and branches are distributed throughout most states. Mr. John Zobus, President and CEO, would like to know the characteristics of the checking account customers, such as: What is the balance of the typical customer? Or: How many other bank services do the checking account customers use? Do the customers use the ATM service, and, if so, how often? What about debit cards? Who uses them and how often are they used? To better understand the customers, Mr. Zobus asked Ms. Pamela Helton, Director of Planning, to select a sample of customers and prepare a report that addresses these questions. To begin, she has appointed a team from her staff. You are the head of the team and responsible for preparing the report. You select a random independent sample of 30 customers from representative branches. In addition to the balance in each account at the end of last month, you determine: ( 1) The number of ATM (automatic teller machine) transactions in the last week of the month; 2) the number of other bank services (a savings account, a certificate of deposit, etc.) each customer uses; 3) whether the customer has a debit card (a bank service in which charges are made directly to the customer’s account); and 4) whether or not interest is paid on the checking account, which varies by banking location). The sample includes...

...In the article “Fluid and Shifting: Racialized, Gendered, and Sexual Identity in African American Children” by Denise Isom. Isom talks about how the researchers were studying African American Children, and racialized gender identity. There were several ways that the research was conducted they include: questionnaires, one-on-one interviews, and observation ethnography. The study was conducted from 2001-2002, in a “lower/ working class African American community near a large mid-western city” (Isom, 2012). The participants were children enrolled in a community based after-school program. To gain insight on early conceptions of one’s self and others as far as gender and race (focusing on how they intersect), children from grades five, six, and seven were the targets of this study (Isom, 2012). At the 5th, 6th, and 7th grade levels, there were 75 children enrolled in the program, these are the children who were the participants of the ethnographic observation part of the study (Isom, 2012). Of the 75 students participating in the study there was one 7th grader who was a white female; the other 74 students were African Americans. Breaking the down into gender, in the 5th grade room had 10 girls and 14 boys, in the 6th grade room there were 16 girls and 13 boys, and the 7th grade room had 11girls and 11 boys. On an average there were approximately 50 students in the three classrooms on a regular basis; this due to some children joining the program and others dropping out, thus...

...Should professional sports people (such as AFL footballers, national cricketers) be role models? In this context, consider the role of observational and social learning, and what role they are modeling. Make sure that you primarily address psychological rather than sociological aspects of being a role model. Sport has always been a fundamental principle of Australian Society. The social and cultural roles of sport have provided Australians with unity as well as a sense of patriotism. Our interest in sport has not only contributed to expanding our “national consciousness” but was also a factor towards federation in 1901 (Cashman, 2003). Currently, almost 70 per cent of Australians engage in some form of sporting activity every week (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, 2012) and through this our passion towards sport has even extended to an elite level. Within Australia there is a considerably large football culture, where “thousands of Australians descend on football stadiums” to support their respective teams (Australian Government, 2008). Of these codes the most “loyal and dedicated fans” are those devoted to Australian Rules Football (AFL) (Australian Government, 2008) and their devotion also spreads to those who play it. Due to the physical and social benefits that sport has on young Australians, the negative consequences which may arise due to them idolizing sports men and women, are quite often overlooked. In most cases, young boys view sportsmen such as AFL players...

...ISOM 135 Summer 2013 Reading Assignment # 1 5/20/13 The problem in this case is the U.S. health care industry is the world’s most inefficient information enterprise. An electronic medical record system would save a lot of money in health care, and it would generally be easier on staff and doctor to access information. Electronic records would possibly reduce error and improve care, create less paperwork, and provide quicker service. The difficulties in building electronic medical record systems include it costing $30,000 to $50,000 per doctor. This would cause an issue for medical practices with fewer than four doctors. Also, training a doctor would take up to 20 hours of his or her time. There would be many obstacles that health providers, IT developers, and insurance companies would need to overcome before this system could be used nationally. Not digitalizing medical records would impact patients. Patients already using this system reduced their hospital admission by 25 percent and the length of their hospital stays by 20 percent. VistA improves patient quality of care. It insures that correct dosages are given and going to the correct patient. As mentioned before, this system would greatly reduce human error. One issue with electronic medical records is the sharing of records between different systems. Some systems may not be able to report the same data to one another. Another problem is there could be a conflict of interest for the insurance companies involved...

...n: Philosophy and Psychology Mood Disorders: Causes, Effects and Treatment Mood Disorders: Causes, Effects and Treatment Robert Baker Psychology GE1116 Dr. Angela Isom November 30, 2009 Mood Disorders: Causes, Effects and Treatments In today’s society, people seem to have a lot of problems that are classified as mental disorders. These disorders include: depression, schizophrenia, bipolar, and even seasonal affective disorder (SAD). The immediate stigma that is placed on most if not all mood disorders is that they are sicknesses. In the case of depression, this is not to confuse depression, a normal emotion with biological depression, an illness. Further along this line of irrational thought is the belief that they are not treatable and the person affected is in some way, shape or form disconnected from civilization as we know it. In this research paper, we will attempt to destroy these unfair stereotypes on this subject, attempt to rationalize the behaviors, and shed light on treatments for the various disorders. The research gathered will attempt to understand and answer these questions: 1. What are mood disorders and their symptoms? 2. What are the causes? 3. How can the stigma of mood disorders be removed? 4. What forms of treatment are the most successful? What Are Mood Disorders And Their Symptoms? In order to get a good idea of what causes mood...

...Childhood Obesity Eng. 122 English Composition II Professor: Mary Lounsbury Due date: 9/19/2011 By: Tiara Isom I strongly believe that parents are to blame in most cases dealing with childhood obesity. With that being said, childhood obesity is my topic. I chose this particular topic just because it was the most interesting to me, of the topics we had to choose from. I find research papers to be easier when you are interested in what you are writing about. Although, I do not have any personal experience with this topic, I do believe that this issue is a big problem in today’s society and I would not dare let my kids be in that statistic. I will refine/ limit my topic by breaking it down into three main points. I plan on creating an outline with an introduction, body and conclusion. The body of my outline will have three main bullets of cause, statistics and prevention. I will then list three to five main things I want to cover under each bullet. After these steps I plan to back up my opinions with proper research. In some cases, genetics could be the cause of larger children, but the definition of obesity is more than average fatness so to be obese there has to be some poor eating habits. I plan to argue the causes of childhood obesity, mainly poor parenting. In my opinion, the parents of obese children are to blame for childhood obesity. I believe this because our children only do what we allow them to. The lack of attention, poor upbringing, and the selection of...

...Running Head: LEARNING THEORIES Research Paper: Learning Theories Name Psychology of Learning Learning Theories From the beginning of life, learning is a natural process and continues through humankind’s lifespan. There seems to be an inherent encoding structure from birth seeking to discover new information that invokes learning which empowers one’s ability to adapt to different patterns of behavior. For years various theories have been introduced to explain how people learn. Learning can and does occur in a variety of methods. People may deem learning as experiences that become embedded into their memory having lasting effects. Others may think of learning as how they acquire new information and their ability to apply memory that has been stored overtime. While learning has often been defined in many ways, the basic element in the learning process is how people acquire knowledge and how it is maintained to produce changes in behavior. Learning is the fundamental nature of human functioning. This reflective paper presents a broad scope of theoretical concepts from Gregory Kimble, B.F. Skinner and Jean Piaget. The central focus of this paper is aspects of Albert Bandura’s observational, social learning and social cognitive theories; Bandura’s contributions to psychology; his critics and my personal response to Bandura’s theories. Introduction Many theories throughout the years...

...Frederick Taylor and his Contribution to Industrial Management By Isom Coleman III In partial fulfillment of the requirements for Masters of Science Degree in Workforce Education Leadership Program Fall 2014 How did current management theories develop? People have been managing work for hundreds of years, and we can trace formal management ideas to the 1700s. But the most significant developments in management theory emerged in the 20th century. We owe much of our understanding of managerial practices to the many theorists of this period, who tried to understand how best to conduct business. Historical Perspective One of the earliest of these theorists was Frederick Winslow Taylor. Frederick Winslow Taylor (March 20, 1856 – March 21, 1915) was an American mechanical engineer who sought to improve industrial efficiency. He was one of the first management consultants. Taylor was one of the intellectual leaders of the Efficiency Movement and his ideas, broadly conceived, were highly influential in the Progressive Era. Taylor summed up his efficiency techniques in his book The Principles of Scientific Management. He started the Scientific Management movement, and he and his associates were the first people to study the work process scientifically. They studied how work was performed, and they looked at how this affected worker productivity. Taylor's philosophy focused on the belief that making people work as hard as they could was not as efficient...
