Bipedalism Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Date Answer to Question 1 According to expert advice, as suggested by Johanson, human bipedalism demonstrates a tremendous evolutionary innovation, which at its initial stage looks not probable. For instance, the researcher asserts that unlike their quadrupedal ancestors, the bipedal primates look clumsy, have a slow pace, and highly unstable as well as being prone to both injuries and falls. However, despite these attributes, several hypotheses attempt to explain why how bipedalism happened or occurred. While all of them try to justify why a man becomes a bipedal primate, I find the theory of attraction of mates as more plausible than the rest. The implication is that the hypothesis of attracting mates combines the other two hypotheses about feeding and looking for food. According to the theory, males who walked through bipedalism had considerable advantages in getting food and even carrying it to their females and offspring back in their dwellings (NOVA, 2006). The hypothesis asserts that the…

Movie Review: “The Glass Shield” The 1995 movie, “The Glass Shield,” written and directed by Charles Burnett, covers the issue of corruption in the sheriff’s department and taints the integrity of the officers. The film is about the dirty deals and wrongdoings of corruption involving Chief Sherriff and most of his deputies at the Edgemar Station in Los Angeles. The movie begins with cartoon images that represent the imaginations and perceptions of a newly graduated officer from the police academy, J. J. Johnson. In the cartoons, Johnson has a shaky picture of the police force as he thinks that when one works in the force, he only has to deal with criminals, who are the bad people in the outside world. However, his assumptions take a drift once he is posted at the Edgemar Station; he tries his best to fit in as the only black officer at the station. The officers at the station are entangled in racism, corruption, and stereotypes. Johnson and a Jewish female officer, Deborah, become the sheriff deputies who seem outsiders from the rest of…

Teaching philosophy statement Teaching students who are historically underrepresented and underserved students require careful and informed teaching approaches that incorporate the social and learning needs of the students. There are serene strategies that one can use in this kind of situation. One of the approaches is to constantly watch for barriers that might bar proper learning of students such as stereotyping, identity mindset and unconscious. Through this strategy, the teacher will be able to detect problems before they occur. Another strategy is increasing parental involvement. Historically underrepresented and underserved students are more attached to their parents as they idolize them more. Increasingly parental involvement means that the students will feel more incorporated in school. Correspondently, it is good to create a welcoming environment for the students. This can be achieved by placing strict rules against vices such as racism, ethnicity discrimination, and bullying. Mostly, in classrooms, the key factor that contributes to the closing of equity gaps is ensuring an active interaction of students and removal of barriers that might create equity gaps. The teacher should have a strategy that…

Further, the teachers a forced to take on non-instructional responsibilities. The fact that most of them join the profession with the desire to help notwithstanding, their…
The metrics of measuring learning and development change The metrics of measuring learning and development change with time. For accuracy in measuring effectiveness start with the end in mind. That way, the measurement is not limited only to outputs but to every other contributing factor in organisations success. There was a time where learning was limited to a single department, and only a few people were accountable, but learning and development have evolved. It is recognised in its contribution to the organisations’ overall success; therefore, there is a paradigm shift in measurement parameters. Learning and development metrics that matter are: Individual change: how has the training changed the said individual in the workplace and its reflection on the corporate goals and culture. Skills attainment: measures the level of knowledge before and after the process. An effective L&D program equips the learner with skills applicable improves the ability to do tasks. Workplace application: measures the use of what an individual learns in the workplace. Team behavioural change: learning and development equips one to be more coherent in teamwork and influence the…
