    Mod 3. So Human, So Chimp (30-35 min)
    106106 unread replies.106106 replies.
    The goal of this activity is to reflect on human nature, what makes humans similar and/or different from other species, and the role of culture in evolution.
    Step 1. Watch the video (16 min) “So Human, So Chimp” (click on the link). It is a segment of a three-part PBS series titled “What is the nature of human uniqueness?” In this segment, Alan Alda discusses this question with several scientists. You will also see examples or reenactments of experiments shedding light on this question.
    Step 2. In the discussion board share your thoughts on what this kind of evidence suggests regarding human nature, what makes humans similar and/or different from other species, and the role of culture in evolution. As much as possible, try also to tie your comments to concepts and material covered in this module.
    Your initial post to the discussion question must be a thoughtful response to this prompt provided. A 200-word minimum is required for the initial response [worth a maximum of 7 pts]. Professional language and writing are required. Connect your response back to the video, citing the evidence to support your position wherever possible.
    Step 3. You are expected to read posts in the discussions and to actively participate in the conversations, posting a minimum of one thoughtful reply(more if you want to) back to other students [worth a maximum of 3 pts]. Your replies to other student’s posts are to be thoughtful responses that seek to further knowledge and understanding. Such replies as “nice post” or “ditto” are not thoughtful replies. Instead your replies should, for example, explain why you agree or disagree with a previous post, ask a probing question, clarify a statement, share your own experiences, support or refute a statement with evidence, and always be constructive and respectful.

  • Question 1: Large diffuse crowds often turn to violence and property damage. O

    Question 1: Large diffuse crowds often turn to violence and property damage. One explanation of this phenomenon offered in the book is that in a crowd, people experience a sense of deindividuation—a sense that they are not accountable for their own actions—and it is this deindividuation that accounts for the violent turn of events. Yet many large diffuse crowds rarely if ever turn violent—like the crowds going to work in most large cities. What makes some crowds turn violent while others don’t? List several explanations for this discrepancy.
    Question 2: What biblical principle(s) apply in the above scenario?

  • Review this week’s Learning Resources on intrinsic and extrinsic motivations

    Review this week’s Learning Resources on intrinsic and extrinsic motivations and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
    Reflect on your motives for enrolling at Walden and consider how your motives might change as you progress in your studies. Identify intrinsic and extrinsic motivations that will keep you motivated to complete your degree.
    Review the resources on culture and motivation. Think about how culture affects motivation.
    Identify, based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, any D-needs and B-needs that could be motivating your behavior to achieve a graduate degree. Determine whether culture plays a role in your motivation to complete your degree.
    Post a response to the following:
    Describe motivational factors that led you to enroll at Walden and that keep you enrolled. Then explain how these motivational factors might change as you progress from your first days at Walden to your first or second year. Finally, identify at least one intrinsic and one extrinsic motivation that could help keep you motivated to complete your degree. Be sure to address what role culture plays in your motivation to complete your degree.

  • This week is Energy Balance and Weight Management. Using the Ask, Think, Learn,

    This week is Energy Balance and Weight Management. Using the Ask, Think, Learn, Repeat Guide, locate a mainstream source of nutrition information for one of the approved topics below, and evaluate it as you did previously. Then, locate a peer-reviewed source of nutrition information for the same topic. Just as you did previously, compare the peer-reviewed data to the mainstream information.
    Topic Choices:
    How long does the body continue to burn calories after a strength training session?
    Which exercises are most efficient for burning kcalories?
    Breakfast: To eat or not to eat?
    Intermittent Fasting for Weight Loss
    Gut Microbiota and Weight Loss

    Cite your source in APA format (1 Point)

  • Part 1: For the discussion this week, first watch this 14 minute Ted Talk by Sa

    Part 1: For the discussion this week, first watch this 14 minute Ted Talk by Sarah Jane Blakemore called the “Mysterious Workings of the Adolescent Brain”. She talks about the part of our brain called the pre-frontal cortex (located in the frontal lobe). This part of the brain helps govern our decision making ability, our ability to anticipate consequences, and other behaviors that we call “executive functioning”. In the recent past, it was discovered that this part of the brain is not fully developed until about age 25! This explains the sometimes less than informed choices teenagers often make (that is my tactful way of saying stupid). Erratic teen behavior isn’t purely because of hormones, it’s because they have a fully functional emotional part of the brain (the limbic system), but an immature pre-frontal cortex that helps regulate our emotional impulses. TED TALK: https://www.ted.com/talks/sarah_jayne_blakemore_the_mysterious_workings_of_the_adolescent_brain?language=enShare your reactions with the class and answer the following *be sure to show an understanding of the TED Talk in your answers:
    What were three things you learned in this TED Talk?
    Were you surprised to learn that the pre-frontal cortex is not fully developed until age 25? Explain what you already knew about this part of our brain.
    Looking back on your teen years (and many of you are still teens), can you link/give an example of how the limbic system and the lack of a developed pre-frontal cortex lead to a bad personal choice or impulsive decision? Make sure you refer to parts of the limbic system in your answer.
    What implications does this have for our social policies and how we define adulthood? This is an open ended question that you can speculate on to engage in critical thinking (i.e. there isn’t one right answer, so don’t be intimidated by the question). Examples to connect might include voting age, age of military service, age of purchasing guns, drinking age, etc.
    Part 2: Watch the following 50 minute documentary called “Into the Mind: Broken Brains” and apply at least one concept from chapter three to what you learned in the documentary. Be detailed in your answer.For example, one concept discussed is the role of language in Broca’s area. Make sure you demonstrate a clear understanding of the concept you discuss and how it was demonstrated in the documentary (i.e, be detailed). http://txcc.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://fod.infobase.com/PortalPlaylists.aspx?wID=98056&xtid=43513
