Cinematic Meditation ENGR3000 Modern Technology, Home work for Week 2 Modern Times: Charlie Chaplin Student’s Name Professor’s Name Course Title Date   Charlie Chaplin modern times film Film context, actors, and activities The setting of this film is in an antique car manufacturing industry. The actors include a supervisor, chief engineer, and factory workers. The chief engineer instructs the supervisor to start the production engine, which involves a fast-moving conveyer belt. Several workers are engaged in stationary workstations crafting different car parts. Simple tools like the chisel and harmer are used. one worker is screwing nuts; he loses concentration and falls into the belt through the gears. His colleagues alert the supervisor to stop the machine. The supervisor reverses the engine, and he manages to get out. How cars were made before the assembly line Before the assembly line, most of the handwork was manually done. It required many workers, each focusing on crafting different parts using simple tools in a stationary workstation. After the crafting, all components were assembled to finalize the end product. The process looks long, and…

Glossary Semantic mapping A teaching method involves the use of graphical representations on concepts and relationships between them. Sematic maps create a visual display of the meaning-based connections of the words or concepts. The semantic maps create visual displays of the meaning between different words, concepts, or phrases. “Semantic maps help struggling or students with disabilities in easy identification, understanding or recalling of the meaning of a certain word” (Sari, 2013). For example, maps can be introduced with a flower concept that students are all familiar with by parts such as petals. College-and career-ready standards. “Are standards set by U.S. Department of Education which dictates that schools should set goals for their students and teach towards achieving the set goals” (Desimone, Stornaiuolo, Flores, Pak, Edgerton, Nichols & Porter, 2019). The standard states that schools should align their standards with high expectations to ensure students’ success and give families and communities an accurate sense of students’ progress. The standard needs schools to prepare students to compete with the world rather than just offering basic skills. Teachers are requested to focus on…

different theories on intelligence There are different theories on intelligence that some. Alfred Binet first created an intelligence test in 1905 and proposed identifying differences on a cognitive scale where he considered intelligence as a measurable variable when considering the psychological process. Construct tests included measures on memory, understanding attention, and imagination where age and the cultural context were considered. Binet-Simon intelligence test was another early test that is popular and focuses on children that need extra attention as intelligence is malleable. In 1990, Sternberg classified the theories into implicit and explicit, where implicit theories are made by people who have not investigated the subject. Explicit theories are investigations that test that measure intellectual functioning. Jean Piaget proposed the constructivist theory of intelligence development, focusing on human capability, perceptions, and abstractions at different ages. Wechsler scales measure intelligence and cognitive abilities in preschool children, older children, teenagers, and adults. The latest intelligence scale for children and adults is WAIS-IV, and the test focuses on verbal, visual–perceptual, fluid reasoning, auditory, short-term memory, and processing speed abilities. The test also focuses on…

Literacy glossary Visualization It is any technique which is used in the creation of images, animations or diagrams to communicate a message (the process of creating mental visual images). It is the act or the approach of interpreting the message in visual terms or putting a message into a more visible way. The act of making part visible or an internal organ to be more clear through the introduction (as by swallowing) of a radiopaque product which is then followed by radiography. Is a cognitive approach which is used to access imagination to realize the elements of an object or the outcomes of an action. Is the application of sensory representation to reinforce cognition, reasoning and hypothesis creation. Co-construct rubrics Are rubrics which are made by teachers who are the main users of the rubrics during the grading process It is the project which is aimed at engaging the students to work in collaboration with their teachers throughout the course work. Used to lay the levels used by teachers to grade students or the quality which teachers use to compare…

Early Child Education Early Child Education is an interesting career path because it allows one to mold young lives. It is a rewarding experience where one gets to interact with children and help them develop into the next phase of life. Given the serious nature of the job, it must be approached with the utmost care. An early childhood educator should be intentional about how they do their job rather than simply improvising along the way. A pre-K teacher should ask themselves how they intend to manage their classroom and create an action plan. Classroom Management Plan I want my classroom to have a certain culture. I am for my students to feel safe within the classroom. I can ensure this is possible by giving them the space to express their feelings and thoughts without judgment or criticism. Children must learn how to express themselves when they are young. This is taught by encouraging open communication between the teacher and the students and among the students themselves. I want a culture where students can freely express themselves. However, they should…

  Quality Improvement Initiative The health care system regularly undergoes reforms that aim to make several improvements, such as providing quality health care, reducing healthcare costs, and improving access to health care providers (Salmond, 2017, p. 16). I concur there has been an increase in healthcare prices and clinicians’ shortage (Salmond, 2017, p. 12). Thus, leading to the creation of interventions. Quality improvement initiatives are designed to assess and improve the quality of processes to improve health care services. The initiatives are essential for the health care facilities as they enable effective implementation of change. Quality improvement programs are crucial since they enhance staff efficiency, focus on data use, work as processes and systems, and positive patient outcomes (Salmond, 2017, p. 16). The plans, therefore, enable the health care providers to achieve the goal of improving care delivery and provide them with reliable and sustainable health care processes. I concur with the introduction of documentation to limit the unnecessary use of a catheter, which exposes some of the patients to urinary tract infections associated with catheter use when left for…

Frederick Jackson Turner Frederick Jackson Turner is a key part of early American history. “The existence of an area of free land, its continuous recession, and the advance of American settlement westward explain American development.” These words by Turner are the basis by which modern history on the American West is perceived today. He presented his “Frontier Thesis” that still today influences historical thinking. Turner’s frontier argument as it acted as an analysis of the past and where America came from as well as a warning regarding the future. It is safe to say that his arguments in the thesis spurred the westward expansion and promoted the individualistic democracy. The paper will interpret Turner’s argument and thus prove that the western frontier’s closing was indeed a turning point in American history. The westward expansion by the white people had changed a savage and desolate and into modern civilization, which was a crucial occasion in the rise of democracy in America. Through this argument, Turner was able to justify how important it was, and later it would be to continue conquering…

Derivative Life cycle Concepts: Sustainability Metrics and Rating Systems Physical measures of sustainability employ the concepts of thermodynamics in their calculations. There are two approaches for measuring sustainability; Exergy and Emergy. These concepts are derivatives from the second law of thermodynamics. The law states that a closed system with constant mass and no energy inputs tends towards higher entropy. Exergy is a combination property of a system and its environment because it depends on the state of both the system and environment. It refers to the maximum work that can be obtained from a system as it approaches thermodynamic equilibrium. It is used in the study of the efficiency of chemical and thermal processes.” Exergy accounting provides insights into a system’s metabolism and its effect on the environment using a common denominator. It can address energy utilization, design and analyze energy systems, and quantify waste and energy losses reflecting resource use. Exergy can account for an economic component, labor input, and impact of emissions on human health.” Exergy analysis can be applied in varied energy systems such as utility, industrial,…

Is Jogging Bad for your Knees You may ask yourself, is jogging bad for your knee? No, I think it’s not. However, it depends on how you jog and the areas you carry out these exercises. Nonetheless, to avoid a knee injury, you might decide to consider hiring a professional coach to avoid pain in the knee. According to the study published in the Journal of Athletic Training, jogging doesn’t relate to knee problems when carried in the right way. Moreover, the research elaborates that athletes who jog at least 10 minutes in a training session never experience knee or joint problems. Similarly, the study continues to illustrate that athletes who jog daily show extensive stamina in their legs. Furthermore, a brief study documented in the European Journal of Applied Physiology indicates that running and jogging for 30 minutes reduces inflammation rate in your knee. The research further reveals that an individual who runs is in a better position to develop strong knee joints than an inactive person. What is the difference in jogging from different areas? Road Running on…
