Innovation: What is the most inventive or innovative thing you’ve done? I’ve been involved in many technical innovations for learning and instructions, such as co-founding the first software company to publish a standards-based learning management system (Solis Pathway LMS, 1994). I co-authored the draft document of IEEE 1484.11.2 ECMASCRIPT API For Content to Runtime Services Communication) the JavaScript API underlying the SCORM (Shareable Courseware Object Reference Model). More recently, I

Abstract Altruism is the belief in or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others. Otherwise known as “the bystander effect”, it is unfortunately exposed more via social networks and online websites in the present time. For instance, there is surveillance camera footage online which shows a small two year old girl getting run over by a van in China. Almost ten minutes go by as 18 people walk or drive past without any intentions of helping; some pedestrians looked and

program, it is critical to recognize, document, and integrate the socio-cultural, economic, and normative values of the community. By applying these factors, it will be easier to get the community to adopt the new and wanted health behavior. The Diffusion of Innovation Model is an example of a specific community-based model that recognizes and documents socio-cultural, economic, and normative values of the

each side of the membrane are equal. The water moves because the membrane is impermeable to the solute and the solute concentrations may differ on either side of the membrane. Water molecules may move in and out of the cell, but there is no net diffusion of water. Water will move in one direction or the other, and this is determined by the solute or solvents concentration levels. If the two solutions are of equal concentrations, they will be isotonic. If the concentrations are unequal, the

Anthony R. Hudgens March 24, 2016 Case Study #4 Bystander Effect and Crises Bystander Effect and Crises A woman by the name of Kitty Genovese was stalked and stabbed to death in an alleyway of Queens, New York, in 1964 (Pugh & Henry). It is reported that there were nearly 40 witnesses who heard her screams for help but failed to do so (Colangelo, 2014). Why is it that some individuals tend to shy away from bad situations in which help is clearly needed? Kitty’s murderer, Winston Mosely

watch this go on? People speculated that the failure of people to get involved might be due more to the influence (socially) that bystanders have on each other. To test this theory, Darley and Latane, two psychologists, decided to conduct a study. “Diffusion of Responsibility” Everyone hopes that someone else will be the first to step up

affected the people coming to america and the people already in America but overall it changed America as a whole nation. Immigration changed America and the lives of those who settled here through widespreads of cultural diffusion. In Of Plymouth Plantation, signs of cultural diffusion are shown through new found lifestyle methods. When the Puritans first arrived to America they struggled to settle and find ways of surviving. In the first couple of months lots of Puritans died from sickness and starvation

Contradicting Diffusion of responsibility In Lauren Slater’s novel, Opening Skinner’s Box chapter four involves having two psychologists named John Darley and Bibb Latane experimenting to see why some people choose to ignore those in need of help. If we were to associate this chapter to the boys from the book Lord of the Flies by William Golding, we would see how their behavior contradicts Darley’s and Latane’s experiment. The two young psychologists experiment shows that if there is a group of

Cultural Diffusion in Western Civilization Diverse cultures were noted to be found back in early civilizations around 100,000 years ago in the Western world, and throughout written history, readers can find examples of cultural diffusion. Due to the result of war and trade, numerous civilizations learned different concepts and skill ideas from being influenced either by allies or enemies. Opposite sides of wars and battles blended by influence of each other’s operational tactics. As people continued
