Your group has been hired by an advertising firm that is developing a series of commercials for family-oriented products geared toward the entire family. They want to develop a series of commercials that will target family members at various life stages. Your group needs to thoroughly describe Erikson’s theory of Psychosocial development. The stages: “I’m using are: Initiative versus guilt” ; and Generativity versus stagnation”. In your description of each stage, identify and analyze a television, movie, or literary character for each stage of the theory. The marketing firm will use this information as they develop commercials targeting each developmental stage. Finally, provide a review of three recent studies utilizing a theory of development.

The advertising firm has requested that you submit a 4 to 5 page report summarizing your research in this area. Therefore, your group should submit one combined Word document that conforms to the following directions:

* Identify a character at each stage.
* Choose three of the following studies found in the Library article search engine Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection.
* For each one you choose, describe the study and discuss how it supports or does not support the information you have written in your report about Erikson. Specifically:
o Which particular aspects of the theory does the study examine?
o Do the experimental or discussion results strengthen or weaken the theory and you ideas? Why?
o Do you agree or disagree with the conclusions? Why or why not?

How can we, as citizens fight these sorts of abuses of power?



http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071007/ap_on_go_su_co/scotus_mexican_national
Bush, Texas at odds over death case (please read it, everyone needs to know this is happening.)

I know Bush is an @ss, but this goes beyond the pale, to actually fight to allow gang rapists/murderers to go free just to kiss up to Mexico… I cannot even begin to express myself here!

How can we send a message our congress/president will actually HEAR? So far, the whole calling/ faxing/ emailing/ letter writing campaigns haven’t done a whole lot of good. What will it take???

Obama supporters? (and I am or maybe was one)?

What did you think of his very condescending comment about the “online audience” on the legalization and taxation of marijuana? I am one of the online audience whom he sends emails to constantly from his campaign and I do not smoke weed (did but don’t like it) but want it legalized and taxed. I see him now as a poser and out of touch.

Parastitism?



Parsitsm is a form of symbiosis which refers to the relationship between the parastite and its host. Parastism can assume many forms from endoparasitism to ectoparasitism and epiparasitism. The resultant effect of parasitism can be that the host does benefits, become harmed or experience a neutral relationship. But is there a possibility that parasitism is a form of mechanism present in the environment that drives the process of evolution? For example, the host may evolute to develop resistance to the parasite that has been closely associated with its predessors or the host may undergo a shift in its behavioural pattern and change its target benefactor?

Was this a good answer to an email? (US Politics)?



My aunt and mother always send me these republican emails. This time I responded with an answer they probably won’t like. This was my reply (short and sweet):

“Great message. I think the federal reserve bank owns both parties. Republican = Democrat.”

Please tell me what you think.
———————————————————————
This was the original e-mail:
“545 vs 300,000,000
EVERY CITIZEN NEEDS TO READ THIS AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS JOURNALIST HAS SCRIPTED IN THIS MESSAGE. READ IT AND THEN REALLY THINK ABOUT OUR CURRENT POLITICAL DEBACLE.

Charley Reese has been a journalist for 49 years.

545 PEOPLE
By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The president does.

You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don’t write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don’t set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don’t control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason.. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don’t care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator’s responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted — by present facts — of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can’t think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it’s because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it’s because they want it in the red ..

If the Army &Marines are in IRAQ , it’s because they want them in IRAQ

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it’s because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like “the economy,” “inflation,” or “politics” that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.

Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.

We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!”
