Smart Shop Assignments The layout of a supermarket can be defined as the way the merchandise is arranged on shelves. From the supermarkets I have visited, I have noticed that most supermarkets prefer either a grid of circular layouts of a supermarket. I also noted a well-arranged store increases your urge to shop. The layout of a retail store has a very crucial role in affecting the purchasing power of customers. A well-organized layout has the power to make a customer have impulse buying. How things are arranged in a store is not a coincidence, but everything is arranged to lure customers into buying it. The following are the things I would Improve on the layout of my supermarket to increase greater customer satisfaction. First, I would make sure that all products are easily visible to all customers to reduce the hustle of looking for them as no one wants to be looking for merchandise. Increase Character merchandising can be defined as the method of using famous characters to advertise goods. This will mostly work on kids’ stuff as they…
Attachment Security in Infancy: A Preliminary Study of Prospective Links to Brain Morphometry in Late Childhood. Leblanc Élizabel, Dégeilh Fanny, Daneault Véronique, Beauchamp Miriam H., & Bernier Annie. Presented by: Abstract Human children tend to form attachment relationships with physically present caregivers. The attachment is formed whether the caregiver is abusive or caring, but the attachments can be secure or insecure. Early attachment relationships play a critical role in children’s social, emotional, and cognitive development. Children-parent relationships impact brain development Assessment of attachment security towards mothers at 15 months old Structural magnetic resonance imaging at ages 10-11 years Children who were more securely attached to their mothers in infancy had a larger volume of Gray Matter Attachment security was not associated with cortical thickness Therefore, quality mother-infant attachments affect social, cognitive and emotional functioning in late childhood Research questions What role does the quality of child-parent attachment play in a child’s brain morphology? Does the mother-infant attachment security affect the volume and thickness of the whole-brain Gray Matter in late childhood? Methodology Participants 33 participants were involved in the study,…
Maturity is not merely biological; it is also intellectual, emotional, and relational. Thus, restrictions to free speech and free thought on college and university campuses stunt growth in the latter three areas at a time in young peoples’ lives when these areas are most in need of developing effectively.
Maturity is not merely biological; it is also intellectual, emotional, and relational. Thus, restrictions to free speech and free thought on college and university campuses stunt growth in the latter three areas at a time in young peoples’ lives when these areas are most in need of developing effectively. Introduction College and university campuses are diverse places where all types of people meet for academic purposes. However, apart from academic credits, one can learn a lot of things in higher learning institutions. Most colleges and universities admit students that have different social backgrounds, different sexual orientations, different races, genders, and even religions. All this diversity is a learning ground where one can learn of different cultures and how they run their affairs. As such this contributes to the relational, intellectual and emotional growth of the students as they learn how to interact with different people. Furthermore, this is the most suitable age for students to grow intellectually in readiness for the career world which demands a lot of intellectual, emotional and relational maturity. However, that outside-classroom learning experience would be…
increased risk of adult antisocial behavior For this assignment, assume that, in fact, science has been able to identify the particular gene that is associated with an increased risk of adult antisocial behavior in that persons with this gene are four times more likely to commit a felony from the ages of 18–30 than are persons who lack this gene (call the culprit gene ASF, short for AntiSocial Factor). What should you do with this information? For this task, you may want to research how governments have used genetic information in the past (e.g,, phrenology was routinely used in the 19th century in America and Europe, and has since been discredited). Specifically, you are to create and justify a policy regarding how this knowledge should be used. Should people be tested for ASF? If they test positive for it, what should be done? It is permissible to answer in the negative: you can argue that people should not test for ASF and should not use that information for policy purposes. Your response should address the following: Should the government mandate…
The Reflection of the Book, A Dog’s Purpose Both amusing and touching at equal measures, W. Bruce Cameron in his book “A Dog’s Purpose” has managed to examine the main purposes of living through the protagonist who is a puppy. The puppy has taken us through its journey of life or rather lives by living under different settings which are symbolic to the fact that no matter the background of a human being, the purpose of life must be pursued to the latter. The young dog starts off as a pup in a stray litter and interacts with human at its first time in a hoarder’s yard. At this juncture he learns to interact with people in a friendly manner but unfortunately ends up suffering a sad fate after the dogs are deemed unadoptable. He reappears back later in a new litter and a new life as Bailer, a beloved pet of Ethan. He embarks on his most pivotal existence period and learns the satisfaction of living a purposeful life which gives him a joyful existence. To achieve this…
practices that capture the minds of young kids in their quest to interact with the environment Teaching science to young minds does not need to follow the traditional path of delivering scientific content necessarily. Which is usually coming up with a hypothesis, assembling materials for conducting research, then experiment, make an observation, and either reject or fail to reject the hypothesis. Instead, these toddlers have a flexible mind that can be modeled with the daily happenings of their environments. In the interest of pupils in grades K-12, majority states in Columbia have adopted Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) – which is rooting for a competency-based curriculum rather than knowledge-based teaching. It is the skills that matter at the end of the day! In the spirit of scientific competency, teachers need to use learner-centered teaching methods that aim at exploring their cognitive abilities in developing their know-how. For example, “how do these children analyze and interpret data when they compare the sizes and shapes of their shadows at different times of the day?” They need not be right, but observation can…

Developmental Psychology Abstract Ashley, who is pregnant for the first time, does not consider her smoking and weekly drinking night with girls as harmful to the pregnancy. However, research and studies conducted on alcohol consumption and tobacco smoking during pregnancies show significant effects as a result of these behaviors. Alcohol and smoke from tobacco are passed directly from the mother to the child through the umbilical cord. Among other things, these products are harmful to a developing fetus and could result in life-long challenges to the child and even affect the birth outcome. From cognitive issues to birth of pre-term babies, to heart and lung problems. Long-life problems such as wheezing and Asthma among children in the United States have been reported to be caused by prenatal smoking. However, several strategies such as re-education and counseling could be put in place in society and at national levels to reduce the number of pregnancies exposed to prenatal smoking and alcohol consumption. Section 1 Ashley believes that her drinking and smoking behavior during her pregnancy is not harmful; however, evidence and research…
Development Economics Question One It is possible that there can be a growth of per-capita income without the achievement of other achievements. It applies where under different conditions, the increase in per-capita income can have diverse effects such as poverty, low productivity, and lack of human development. It applies here as the growth in the income depends entirely on the ability of individuals with low income to take part in using the opportunity available to advance through it. But in cases where they fail to make good use of the growth process, they end up in poverty despite the change in patterns. Question Two Development economics might be merely a combination of all other subfields of economics that only apply to low-income countries. For them, having a low –capita income has been used as a form of measure that analyzes their problem, which is poverty (Shen et al. 2018). It applies more in low-income nations leaving behind other countries. Development economics has the aim of improving the living standards, which creates a need for understanding policy dimensions. The economist and…
Interpersonal, intragroup and intergroup conflict Introduction In a business environment it is possible to resolve conflicts using effective communication skills to find solutions to various challenges. Conflicts are grouped into four classes which include interpersonal conflict. Interpersonal, intragroup and intergroup conflict. The disagreement that takes place between two people is referred to as interpersonal conflict. The variety of personalities, choices in life and divergence of opinions results in groups with different mentalities. This situation is considered to be a natural occurrence that assists in personal development and the creation of a relationship with individuals present in the surrounding environment (De Dreu, C. K., 2015). In such cases it is important to introduce a mediator who will assist in reuniting the two or more parties and resolve their differences. Intrapersonal disagreement occurs within a person and usually takes place in the mind hence considered to be psychological and pertains to feelings, thoughts, emotions, thoughts principles and values. Intrapersonal conflict takes place at various levels which varies from making simple decisions like meal preferences and complicated ones like decisions about a career…
