Question V

Movie theaters, airlines, and other businesses often charge customers different prices based on time of the day, age, and purchase dates. Why?

Provide an example of price discrimination from your personal experience that you thought was unfair. Do you still believe this price discrimination is unjustifiable?

Question VI

How do governance processes contribute to identifying early warning signals of potential issues with the organization's sustainability and crisis management?

What should stakeholders do if they believe that the management is ignoring warning signals?

Question VII

You are a news reporter in charge of finding hot topics concerning citizens and their rights. As part of your job duties and responsibilities, you are to research and find an interesting and recent (within the past two years) Constitutional issue and/or case to present as headline news.

Pretend that your boss wants you to host a Constitutional law professor from the local law school as part of a live news broadcast. What do you think that your viewers want to know about your selected Constitutional issue? How do you think that your guest professor can elaborate so as to provide a more enlightening special feature broadcast to your viewers? For purposes of this Discussion, rely on the insights that you have learned from this course as a substitute for the knowledge that you anticipate the guest professor will share during the broadcast.

Share the Q&A that you expect will be the outline for the broadcast. Be sure to identify the Amendment(s) or Section(s) of the Constitution that is and/or are at issue, as well as any other legal resources (including, but not limited to case law) upon which your hypothetical guest professor may rely.

Question VIII

1. What is the purpose and value of standardized data sets?
2. How do they assist with healthcare statistics and research?

Question IX

After watching the TEDx Talk YouTube video "Digital ethics and the future of humans in a connected world | Gerd Leonhard | TEDxBrussels" and reflecting on what you have learned throughout this course, explore how the widespread adoption of digital technologies raises important ethical issues in healthcare. Discuss 2-3 of the ethical issues/challenges surrounding digital technologies in healthcare and explain why the issues/challenges you selected are important to consider.

Question X

Jamil arrived a year ago with his mother, father, and older sister Sara from Syria. While Jamil is just four, he loves being involved in anything he can do with his six-year-old sister. At home Jamil's family speaks Aramaic and Arabic but both parents are taking English classes. Based on concerns about Jamil's speech and language development, his pediatrician suggested that Jamil's language and social-emotional development would benefit greatly from a preschool program. Jamil is now attending a local preschool program and is beginning to connect with other children and to communicate with his teacher and peers. He has developed a tremendous interest in blocks and builds tall and elaborate structures. Jamil's teacher has noticed that introducing and reinforcing concepts in a sequence (e.g., in a cooking activity) support both his receptive and expressive language. To support carryover, Jamil's teacher has shared ideas about how to support his developing language skills at home. They've suggested games and routine activities that would be great ways to give him additional opportunities to practice his evolving language skills. His parents have expressed reluctance to do this as they have shared that it is not customary for adults to play with children in their family. If you were the teacher in the classroom, what games and activities would you suggest, and how would you handle the families' reluctance in a culturally appropriate way? Discuss with peers.

Question XI

Explain why teaching social competence is important. Have you tried to help a child whose behavior was like one described in this chapter? What strategies did you use? What are the influences on children's ability or inability to resolve conflict?
