reply to discussion postUntil recently, my employer, ( a large hospital) would not allow employees to use any web browser other than Explorer. On my personal computers, I used Google Chrome. When I tried to download it at work, I wasn’t allowed even though Explorer was glitchy and would partially load or make me believe the site itself had problems. Finally, my job got on board with Chrome and now internet problems are rare. I have yet to have my Gmail accounts hacked, no do I have to deal with those bloated pages full of newsfeeds, gossip or adds like on Bing or Yahoo. That’s a personal preference, but it’s one that makes a difference to me. All those extra things to click on seems to create opportunities to invite viruses, spam and other security risks into the computer.I honestly wouldn’t make any changes to Google Chrome. It’s suffecient. I like how basic it is and how I can personalize the page. The only thing that is on the page, other than the window to type in your search, is the most frequent sites I’ve been to recently. I really enjoy this because it saves me time from searching in my bookmarks.
define and describe stereotypes, provide four age stereotypes and explain how they can be used by people of all ages to affect peoples attitudes toward the elderly (including elderly toward themselves).

Please explain.(2) Using Chapter 2 in Harris, explain what the baby boom is, when it occurred and the impact it has had over the decades as this generation has proceeded through the life course (how were things affected when the babies were born, when they entered public school, colleges, employment, etc.). Explain the impact that the baby boomers will have on other institutions as they turn 65. What type of impact do you believe this large number of older adults can have on society? (think of social security system, health care system, aging services, etc.) Do you believe society is prepared and if not why?(3) Using Chapter 3 in Harris, explain what norms are, including the three types of norms; folkways, mores and laws explaining how they differ from each other.

reply post to a discussion board post:Discussion Question:Chapter 6 discusses four types of perceptual distortions: stereotyping, halo effects, selective perception, and projection. Define each of these and provide an example.XXX’s Post:Perceptual distortions can be termed as an incorrect interpretation or abnormal understanding of a perceptual experience. This distortion occurs when there is a variation of the common perception and the response that takes place (Barber, & Legge, 2017). The below are types of perceptual distortions and their examples.Stereotyping: It is mostly an overgeneralized, judgmental attitude of a person, towards an individual, who belongs to a certain social group founded on gender, race, sexual orientation, religious belief, and physical capability. Because of overgeneralized, stereotyping promotes a considerable measure of the misstep in social perception. Examples are that guys were portrayed as brave, authoritative, dominant and sovereign whereas, females were described as emotional, compliant and superstitious.Halo effects: This terminology finds the psychologist Edward Thorndike in 1920 (Behrmann, 2019). Halo Effect is the typical human presumption or verdicts rely on the people characteristic, dressing sense, and attitude. A most basic case of the halo effect is the first impression about the outsiders we encounter. In the workplace, the halo effect is likely to receive a manager’s appreciation depending on employees? attitude and representation (Behrmann, 2019). Indeed, this is perhaps the most common perception in performance assessment and decision-making inside an organization.Selective perception: in this perception, a person perceives what he/she senses is right, completely ignoring the opposing point (Barber, & Legge, 2017). Instances of the selective perception in real life are, in sports peoples are so obsessed for their favorite team that they oversee the fouls the team makes and still blame the opponent team for the loss of their favorite team.Projection: Projection is the unintentional act of rejection. Projection is a whole bunch of uncomfortable, awkward and annoying emotions is projected on to other people so that other people become carriers of our own perceived flaws (Most, 2016). A most common instance of it is, if I can do it, other people can as well. Or my co-workers dislike me.
Please respond to the following 2 people with 250 words for each responseChristina I have had parents who were stressed about IEP meetings.I have always informed the parents of my students that they can reach out to me at any time with questions or concerns. I have also informed them that they can contact the school psychologist for further information than what I provide if they feel it is necessary. When a parent is not positive about going through n evaluation for their child, I meet with them and I walk them through the steps of what the meetings entail as well as the evaluation process and the follow-up IEP meeting. Usually after the parent(s) realize what will occur, they give their parental consent. There have been times when the parent agrees right away to the evaluation and then right before the first IEP meeting, we meet together to touch base. I find that parents are more comfortable once they realize what is going to happen. My role in an IEP meeting is the classroom teacher, but since I do have a Master’s in Special Education along with taking other courses online, sometimes I am able to provide further information as far as what resources might benefit the student. I always discuss this with the resource room teacher first so that I don’t blindsight them and so I don’t overstep. I voice my observations and concerns about the student. I let them know what interventions have been tried and whether or not they have been effective. If it is an initial evaluation, the IEP team has papers for me to fill out prior to the meeting about why the student was referred. There are times I have my own write-up about the student that I submit to the team as well as the parent so that it can be referenced for the IEP and to keep the parents on the same page. Michael There should never be any surprises in an IEP meeting. You must send home a copy of the IEP 5 days before the meeting. I always call and remind parents a few days before. When the meeting is about to start, I always go out to greet parents when they have arived in the office. If I have never met the parents before as in a transition meeting, I spend time asking how they are doing, did they find the school alrights, etc. Small talk is great. I ask them if they would like anything to drink etc. I always ask how the family is not just the child. I let them know they are the most important member of this team besides their child. We are teachers are here to help the entire family have success. In my IEP meetings I am almost always the facilator. I keep the meeting moving and on task. I am there to support the parents understanding of the process. I always ask if they have questions. I usually know the families well, so as needed I either sit next to them or across from them. The next important step is that ongoing communication. Parents are the key to student success.
Discuss attitudes regarding society’s responsibility for criminals. Should the persons be rehabilitated or punished? build on different attributes eg. political attitude, friends2. What arguments do you have for the particular idea you have raised? What reasons are there for attitudes to differ so much from one person to the next? Is a certain attitude more correct or wrong?
