The Standard of Professional Behavior A teacher should not leave their class unattended, mostly when there is a fight between students. By leaving the course, the teacher would be violating to fulfill their obligation to address and try resolving ethical issues. This is because a teacher must confront and take necessary action to resolve conflicts in the school community. A teacher must never be alone in a private area with a student even though the discussion they are holding is confidential. Such an act would be a disrespect to the students’ rights and dignity. The code of ethics expects the teacher to interact with a student in an appropriate setting and with transparency (Klamm et al.). Additionally, the teacher is expected to respect the student by taking into consideration, student’s gender, age, socioeconomic context, and setting. A teacher should call a student when necessary and insist that the parent be there during the phone call conversation. Failure to this, the teacher will be violating the code that talks about the teacher maintaining student’s confidentiality and trust while interacting with…
Grunsfeld and Caitlin In the video, a group of world-class athletes and scientists are trying to solve the mystery of why high altitude and extreme weather can kill, as they put their lives at risk. To solve this mystery, they have to climb to the top of Denali, which the narrator describes as the highest mountain in North America and probably the coldest mountain globally. Annually, many climbers come from all over the world to climb Denali. Half of them succeed and get to the top of the mountain, while the other half fail. In some instances, failure in Denali can mean death. Dr. Peter Hackett, who is responsible for the medical rescue camp for climbers who develop complications as they climb the mountain, noted that about two decades ago, not much was known about high altitude illness. Hackett’s mission is to find out why climbers on Denali become sick and eventually die. To achieve this mission, Hackett has come with a team of world-class scientists and athletes, led by Colby Coombs. Coombs is the director of the Alaska Mountaineering…

Over time, chocolate has drastically changed in terms of its preparation style, taste, and people consuming it. Chocolate is no longer a food for the elite with its variability allowing it to be accessible to most. Chocolate has gone through many stages in its evolution process but always served as a political, social, and economic symbol. Cocoa was designated to be an exotic import for centuries during the Pre-Mayan, Mayan, Aztecs, and the colonial civilization periods.
