Unit 9 M1

I completed the health promotion and had personal achievements, I improved my confidence levels in conducting this health promotion as I was able to stand in front of a large number of individuals and speak loudly and clearly, I was unable to do this previously and was worrying about it beforehand. Another personal achievement was that I was able to work well within a team and effectively produce a health promotion to deliver to the participants. I was able to gain more knowledge on the topic myself, I knew a fair bit about this certain topic but I believed that I increased my knowledge. We did this by allocating tasks to each individual after deciding our aims and objectives. There was also a participants achievement, I believe that in doing the health promotion we were able to give the participants confidence if they were to conduct a similar promotion.

A: In the software lifecycle there are 4 phases that are derived from the old System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and they are as follow; Planning, Implementation, Maintenance, and the Removal process. The planning phase is defined by all planning activities including the analysis of the software to be installed, verification of its compatibility, supported methods of installations, and the identification of any risks associated with the software and the desired deployment method. The Implementation phase is used to prepare for deployment such as; creating a shared access location for files and creating or using the appropriate package files. After all these steps have been

Unit 1 has taught me to be a good listener and a speaker because now I know what exactly effects or makes an impression on the audience. Which words should I pick up and remember while listening and on which words should I emphasize while speaking. The most useful strategy that I found while doing this unit was to remember the key words while listening and to practice before speaking. In the practical world picking out the key words would help me analysis the content better and I think by practicing before speaking will make me more confident and convincing

Changes in price can affect buyers' purchasing decisions; this effect is called the income effect.

The break- even point is the level of activity (in units of output or sales revenue) at which total costs (fixed + variable) = total sales revenue (Atrill, McLaney 2008: p. 262). First all, we need to calculate contribution per unit for reaching to the break- even point. The pattern for calculate contribution per unit is sales revenue per unit less variable cost per unit. Subsequent we calculate the break- even sales units. Break- even sales units = fixed costs/ contribution per unit. We use the result of BEP unit for next step which calculate the break- even sales value: BEP units x selling price per unit. When we use every formulas, we attain the break- even point.

Psychologist Michael Bailey conducted a study that examined the likeliness of homosexuality in identical twins versus fraternal twins. The significance of studying identical twins versus fraternal twins is that identical twins share the same DNA, while fraternal twins “share just half of their genes” (Ghose). Bailey found that if one identical twin was gay then there was a 50 percent chance of the other also being gay. On the other hand, the likeliness in fraternal twins was reduced to 20 percent. At first, some people may question why the likeliness was only 50 percent in identical twins when they share the exact same genes. In response to that, Michael Abrams explains that there are, in fact, traits that are not always shared in identical

Charles Darwin is regarded as one of the most important and influential scientists in history. He created the theory of evolution and natural selection. His theory of evolution not only revolutionized science, but also changed the field of psychology. His theory provides the background for thinking about human behavior. The experiments and tests that Darwin carried out using data from diverse species is known as the comparative method, which is one of the most important methods in evolutionary psychology. All aspects of the form we view ourselves and our attitude has been touched in some by Darwin’s impact on psychology (Montgomery). Charles Darwin’s work has transformed psychology, allowing many different methods to be integrated. Although

This video is about the evolution of psychology. It also helps define what psychology is as a science, which is the scientific study of the behavior of individuals and their mental processes according to the video. People may study psychology to know what is going on in the human mind. As shown in the video, the Candid Camera example, the girls blush and have nervous reactions in front of the male teacher when asked if they wanted to be in his class. The boys have the same reaction when they are put in front of a female teacher. The influence of situational factors affects an individual’s perception. For example, when judging which is the tallest the cowboy, I thought it was the cowboy in the upper right hand corner, but I perceived

Darwinism suggests that the environment constantly selects the individuals who are best able to survive in particular environment. Over thousands of year’s natural environment changes and variations produced an endless amount of geographical changes which lead to continuous evolution of thousands of species. In his literature such as ‘The Descent of Man’ Darwin raised an argument whether human beings descended from animal ancestors. In ‘The Expression of Emotions’ Darwin compared human emotions with animal emotions and stated that it reveals human evolutionary “animal” past. Numerous comparisons of human and animal provided foundation and rationale for comparative psychology. Many great psychologists’ researches were influenced by Darwin’s

Pillard and Bailey’s study showed that the identical twins had a much greater chance of both being gay then the fraternal twins did. “They found that, among identical twins, 52 percent were both homosexual, as opposed to the fraternal twins, among whom only 22 percent shared a homosexual orientation”(Dallas 114). Because the study was done with twins, Pillard and Bailey concluded “higher incidence of shared homosexuality among identical twins meant that homosexuality was genetic in origin”(Dallas 114)

The research didn’t end there, there was a study done on 95 twin brother cases (Murphy, 2011). The study found that there as a substantial correlation between homosexuality being present in both brothers rather than only in one (Murphy, 2011). This shows that it’s more of a biological thing and is truly based on genetics (Murphy, 2011). This study also found that the correlation went deeper than previously thought. It found that twins that shared the same egg tended to take the same role in sexual activities (Murphy, 2011). That was something psychologists believed to be preposterous, but the research backed it up (Murphy, 2011).

Darwin studied the human psychology in great detail and analyzed and interpreted the individual differences which set an individual apart from the other humans despite the fact that they share the same genetic constitution. This helped in understanding the similarities and the differences in the behaviors of the human beings (Angell, (n.d.)). He introduced the ideas about the complexity of the human nature which helped the scientists and psychologists in placing each individual separately and apart from each other. Based on these theories and findings of Charles Darwin many scientists could put together their assessments and evaluations about the science of human behavior. This helped the scientists to expand their range of study in the field of human emotions, interactions, and social communication and led to the development of evolutionary psychology (Frances, (2013)).

Evolutionary Psychology is the study of progression of thoughts and behaviors through time; centuries, ancestries, and natural science progression (or regression). Evolutionary psychology goes back to the ‘dawn of man’ where personality theory suggests there are environmental causes in its earliest research. Buss

“At best genetics is a minor factor,” says Dr. Neil Whitehead, PhD (RSS, 2015). Whitehead worked for the New Zealand government as a scientific researcher, and then spent four years working for the United Nations and International Atomic Energy Agency. His PhD is in biochemistry and statistics. He did his research with identical twins. Identical twins have the same genes or DNA. They are nurtured in the same prenatal conditions. If homosexuality is caused by genetics or prenatal conditions and one twin is homosexual, the other twin should also be homosexual right? Identical twins

Throughout history, psychology has taken immense steps to get to where it is today. It is used in so many aspects of our life, even without us knowing it. It started off being seen as ‘nonsense’ and ‘unscientific’, whereas now, psychology is seen as being a vital part in the scientific community of how we understand the mind, people’s behaviours and reasons for doing what they do. Three of the six key psychological perspectives that will be covered in this essay are; the biological perspective, the psychodynamic perspective and the behaviourist perspective. Along with a discussion on how these perspectives have developed throughout history, critical analysis will also be carried out as to the strengths and weaknesses of each of these three psychological perspectives. As a demonstration as to these psychological perspectives current position in science, a link to mental health will also be included for each psychological perspective.
