Verbal and nonverbal language affirmations Verbal and nonverbal language affirmations were employed to enhance the learning experience for special needs students with different learning disabilities. Most of the higher-order questions were targeted at the top-performing students who did not have any special needs. The higher-order questions were designed to challenge the top performers of the class therefore enhancing their learning experiences. Responses were being solicited from all the students regardless of their status in the class. Individualized support was mostly targeted at students with special learning needs. Some of the top performers in the class were efficient in connecting class content to their lived experiences. Student understanding was evaluated through assessment tests and individualized tasks. One probing and clarification technique that was used in the lesson is holding discussion forums where students openly discussed and debated different texts. The instructional resources and material are designed to cater to the learning needs of each of the students regardless of their backgrounds. The lesson implemented sufficient resources to cater to students with varied learning abilities, learning needs, and backgrounds. Evidence of this…

Lessons from The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks The famous Hela cells have been used to help save many lives affected with cancer more than half a century after the infamous incident. The debate over the role of consent and medical ethics in the story against the revolution in the medical field persists to date. In my view, the benefits of HeLa cells outweigh the means, and they were obtained. This means that although they were taken without her consent, the well-intended surgeons have made more progress with the action. If Henrietta Lacks had rejected the proposal to take her cells, she would have hindered the medical progress that has helped advance the treatment of polio, cloning, and a variety of cancer treatments. The doctors may have acted on a notion to save millions at the expense of one person. However, they should be appreciated because they did not sacrifice her life for the sake of saving others. Instead, they still tried to help her recover while using her to contribute to the greater good of humankind. Since ethical values…

INNERS IN THE HANDS OF AN ANGRY GOD In his article, “SINNERS IN THE HANDS OF AN ANGRY GOD,” Jonathan Edwards presents that death is a form of punishment meted out by God to the wicked members of society (Edwards, 2017, p. 1). He indicates that wickedness is the refusal to remain pure as per God’s wishes and is a mortal sin. Through death, God can remove the sinners from this world and send them to hell. He continues to indicate that no one can be able to foreshadow when he/she or another person is going to die (Edwards, 2017, p. 1). Death is mysterious and remains hidden from the understanding of man. Edwards continues to present that there is no form of security a person can implement to protect him/her from death (Edwards, 2017, p. 1). In most cases, it comes as a thief and strikes when the person is unsuspecting. Nathaniel Hawthrone presents a completely different view on death as evident in his short story, “The Birth-Mark.” Hawthorne presents that no mortal being can be completely pure and…

Sexism Through an analysis of the three articles, it is evident that the key ethical issue covered by the authors is sexism. Sexism refers to the act of being prejudiced o discriminated against because of one’s sex. This form of discrimination is usually carried out by society against women. It reflects a form of unfair treatment of women because of their gender or sex. It usually manifests through the socialization of certain gender norms. In all three articles, it is evident that the affected parties are women in society. As a result of sexism, women in societies are burdened with several unfair requirements. In Tang Min’s article, it is evident that women are expected by society to be mothers. Women who cannot become mothers are viewed as less valuable in society (Wang, 1994). Yang Zhao’s article covers how women are expected to maintain certain standards of beauty and efficiently execute traditional gender roles (Wang, 1994). In Xi Xi’s article, the author highlights how women are considered as less inferior in society. He achieves this by using the goldfish as a…

Surveys In a paragraph or more, summarize the section titled, “Topics Appropriate for Survey Research’ (pages 254-255] French workers conducted the earliest form of the survey in 1880, where the researcher sent 25000 questionnaires to employees, and none was returned (Babbie, 254). In present-day survey research is applied as a mode of observation in social sciences where researchers select sample respondents and circulate a questionnaire (Babbie, 254). The topics that are descriptive, explanatory, and exploratory are appropriate for survey purposes. It is the best form of research for where original data is collected without observing the entire population that usually large. Babbie (254) noted that the surveys are suitable to measure attitudes, orientations, and public opinion polls, including many people. Efficient sampling ensures that selected respondents have characteristics that reflect the correct features of the larger population (Babbie, 254). On the other hand, when the questionnaires are carefully structured and standardized, they bring appropriate respondents’ data. Some surveys are scientifically unsound, which creates a negative public attitude towards public opinion and surveys (Babbie, 255). In a paragraph or more, summarize…

Organizational change Organizational change involves how organizations fluctuate its culture, technologies, operational methods, strategies, and structures to initiate new changes within the organization. Some organizational changes include remedial change, structural change, people organizational change, and strategic transformation. The National Agricultural Development Company (NADEC) is a company that operates in Saudi Arabia, and it has gone through significant organization changes successfully. The organization was successful in conducting both formal and informal structural change. Concerning the formal structure, the company was able to add new management with new techniques of observing interaction and behaviors when executing the recent change. The new team was also able to convince the employees through critical change awareness. Regarding formal structures, the new team introduced new chatting platforms where they depicted the explanation of how the new system will function to avoid misunderstanding. NADEC applied the modified structure to deal with complexity and uncertainty in the environment by accepting the organization’s contradictions and ambiguities and loosening up to feel in control. Also, accepting temporary and partial truths from change and expecting surprises to be ready to conduct…
