Is there a single, all-encompassing definition of American success, or do a variety of “successes” exist? Might different factions of the American population, such as those of different genders, races, ethnicities, and economic backgrounds, have differing versions of success?

Define success in contemporary America, and explain the role of government in making your version of success attainable in the 21st century.
Some questions to consider are

1) Is there a single, all-encompassing definition of American success, or do a variety of “successes” exist? Might different factions of the American population, such as those of different genders, races, ethnicities, and economic backgrounds, have differing versions of success?
2) What level of responsibility should the government bear in helping Americans achieve their definitions of success? Should the government be heavily involved or more hands-off?
3) What are some examples of how the American government can help its citizens become successful?
4) Conversely, what are some examples of the types of government assistance that should be avoided?
5) What are the downsides to a government that provides too much or too little help to its citizens?

List the information that was stolen or compromised in the breach. How did it affect the security of Target? How did it affect the security of Target’s customers? Identify and list the specific controls that could have prevented the breach. Why do you think hackers target the retail sector?

The Target Corporation, also referred to as Target, is the second-largest discount store retailer in the United States. In December 2013, over 40 million credit cards were stolen from nearly 2000 Target stores by hackers accessing data on point of sale (POS) systems. A POS is a place in the retail store where customers make payment for goods bought and in return get an invoice or receipt. The POS system is the system or device that is used for completing the transaction. It could be hardware or software or both that manages a transaction like credit card processing. In this activity, you need to do a thorough study of the Target data breach and answer the following questions:

List the information that was stolen or compromised in the breach. How did it affect the security of Target? How did it affect the security of Target’s customers?
Identify and list the specific controls that could have prevented the breach.

You and a couple of your fellow FAU friends created a startup business. It has been so successful that you and your partners are ready to establish a headquarters. While you all still live in Florida, you, your partners, and the company’s advisory board are not sure Florida is the best location.

Type of family (nuclear, reconstituted, etc.)/birth order -read ahead or google,Socioeconomic status (enough money to live would be middle class, more than enough would be upper middle class or wealthy, less than enough would be lower middle class or poverty)

2. Explain the development according to the 3 domains of development. You need at least 3 examples for each domain.

Include a description and an assessment. Justify your answer and be specific.

You need to state a specific behavior/phenomenon and link it to a key concept described in the notes.

Example in the physical domain: Kaitlyn shares that she got her period last year when she turned 13. According to XYZ, puberty and first menarche appears between ages X and Y, therefore Kaitlyn’s puberty occurred at a typical age.

Example in the cognitive domain: Zack was able to complete the conservation of water task. This is in accordance with Piaget’s concrete operational stage of development that typically starts around 7.

Example in the socioemotional domain: Octavia cries when her mom leaves the room. This is called separation anxiety. According to Bee and Boyd p.XYZ, separation anxiety peaks at 18 months so Octavia’s behavior is completely normal. 3.

Are you concerned about the U.S.’s rankings on national test scores? Do you think an increased emphasis on getting “back to the basics” is what schools need? Should students be allowed to give input into what they learn and pursue? Or is that solely the teacher’s job?

  • Are you concerned about the U.S.’s rankings on national test scores? Do you think an increased emphasis on getting “back to the basics” is what schools need?
  • Should students be allowed to give input into what they learn and pursue? Or is that solely the teacher’s job?
  • Should schools model living in a democracy, or is that something students should learn later in life on their own?

These and many other questions like them point to your philosophy of education (or, more basically, your personal philosophy). An important part of being an educator is to recognize and uncover your philosophy of education. (And, yes, even speech-language pathologists as educators need to be aware of your philosophies in this area!). Knowing what you believe will help you to understand yourself as an educator–what you are now, what you can be, and what you cannot be (even when others may try to pressure you). Ultimately, this self-understanding will help you to be better at your own work as an educator.

Chapter 6 (pp. 178-199) of the textbook does an amazing job of outlining the major concepts you need to grasp to outline a philosophy.

In this course, you will write one paper about your philosophy of education. You will find Chapter 6 (esp. p. 206) invaluable for these writing tasks.
