Watch the video Sam Richards: A radical experiment in empathy.
After watching the TED video and reading the section about the Sociological Imagination, take the viewpoint of an outside observer to examine your life.
First, pick one personal experience that was meaningful to you.
Second, pick a viewpoint different from your own. It can be another gender, race, nationality, or maybe someone from a different subculture. Finally, write about the three points listed below.
Write a 500 or more word paper discussing each assignment point listed below.
1.  Describe the personal experience as an outsider might describe it. (hint: depending on what you choose and the perspective you choose, this may require a little research)
2.  Describe how that experience was influenced by society structures (e.g. historical events, religion, or traditions)
3.  Finally review the four main perspectives and theorists related to those perspectives. What theory most applies to the personal experience you described and why do you think this theory applies?
Your paper must include a title sheet and at least 2 outside references.  You may use one reference from the internet but the 2nd reference must be from the Grantham University online library.  Only the body of the paper will count in your word requirement.
To help you begin your first paper, I have given you an example of a personal experience, the structure that helped to shape this event, and the theory that I would apply to it. Although what is listed below is an outline, I would like you to write in paragraph form.
Example:
Personal experience: wedding
Viewpoint: perspective of a person from the subcontinent India
1.  Description: Wedding itself was short, crowd was small, took place outside of hometown, and the bride wore white
2.  Social Structure: institution of marriage, marriage laws, and religious traditions
3.  What theory: functionalism
a.  Why this theory: functionalism supports social structure that is functional for society and marriage is functional for families and households

A relational Database Model allows database users to analyze data thoroughly. To accomplish this, advanced commands such as UNION and INTERSECT may be used. Describe a business scenario where a UNION relational set operator may be used to merge two similar data sets.

 Provide 1 reference. Answer the following discussion question: 
A relational Database Model allows database users to analyze data thoroughly. To accomplish this, advanced commands such as UNION and INTERSECT may be used. Describe a business scenario where a UNION relational set operator may be used to merge two similar data sets. Within the context of your business scenario, analyze the analysis and data consistency advantages of using a UNION operator rather than simply merging two data sets into one result table.
Suppose you are tasked with finding common data elements amongst various data sets. Specify how an INTERSECT operator may assist you in accomplishing this task. Construct a query that can perform the same function as the INTERSECT operator without using the “INTERSECT” syntax within the query.
Respond to this Discussion with at least 1 paragraph: 
 
“I choose to answer this discussion thread using some work-related examples of mine. I believe by doing so will allow people to see the real-world application of the operators specified.
I work for a direct marketing company and we do a lot of data processing and mailing for various clients. Recently I was tasked with an assignment where one of our clients had multiple lists (three to be precise). They only wanted one of their marketing packages mailed to each client on their list. So let’s say for example I Emmanuel was on the 2019, 2018 and 2017 list. They did not want to mail to me 3 times. They only wanted me to receive a single packet. In this case a simple union on the three lists yielded a result set free of all duplicates. Had I simply merged the data, then someone like me would have gotten multiple packages rather than the one package intended. From a business standpoint would have also been a waste.
Again, another work scenario regarding intersect. The client had two lists.  One list had customers who listen to and donated financially to Public radio. The other had customers who listen to and donated to public TV. The client only wanted their marketing package going to people who donated to both Radio and TV. In this case a simple intersect was able to do the trick.
So if I wrote a query using intersect it would look like the following:
Select customer_ID, prefix, first_name, last_name, address_line1, address_line2, city, state, zip from TableTV
Intersect
 Select customer_ID, prefix, first_name, last_name, address_line1, address_line2, city, state, zip from TableFM
I could also write this query without intersect by using an inner join as follows:
Select TV.customer_ID, TV.prefix, TV.first_name, TV.last_name, TV.address_line1, TV.address_line2, TV.city, TV.state, TV.zip from TableTV TV
Join TableFM FM ON FM.customer_ID = TV.customer_ID
I could also use a subquery by doing the following:
Select customer_ID, prefix, first_name, last_name, address_line1, address_line2, city, state, zip from TableTV WHERE customer_ID IN (Select customer_ID from TableFM)
There are scenarios where the ID might not be the same with some clients. In this case the ID’s were the same. But let’s say if the ID’s were different then there are algorithms we run on the name and address fields to create a keyline which can then be used for matching purposes. Will however keep this simple as in both cases the job was very simple.”

Analyze one cognitive neuroscience approach to research motivation in the laboratory and one approach for a natural environment.

question:Analyze one cognitive neuroscience approach to research motivation in the laboratory and one approach for a natural environment.
In cognitive neuroscience, researchers explore the neurological mechanisms and processes that underlie cognitive functions such as learning, memory, decision-making, and motivation. This area of study integrates the disciplines of neuroscience and psychology. It offers a vital tool for understanding the intricacies of human behavior and the underlying reasons that drive such behaviors. While researching human motivation in the laboratory, cognitive neuroscience techniques often focus on investigating how a person’s brain functions in response to a task or reward. Researchers can assess changes in brain activity due to motivation by using neuroimaging methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (Domenico, Rayan, 2017). For instance, to determine the amount of inspiration present, researchers may compare the levels of brain activity that occur while a person is engaged in a task to the stories of brain activity that occur when the subject is given a reward. In addition, neuropsychological tests may determine how a person’s desire to finish a job changes throughout a specific period. These activities may be used to test the impacts of various motivators and to evaluate the effects of multiple types of incentives on one’s level of motivation.
In contrast to research conducted in a laboratory setting, cognitive neuroscience techniques for investigating reason in a natural context often center on watching people’s behavior in their natural environments. To carry out this kind of study, data collection is required, and some examples of such sources are questionnaires, direct observations, and interviews. A researcher may, for instance, watch how youngsters behave in their classroom and make notes on how they react to various activities and incentives. Researchers can obtain insight into the motives and motivations of people in a variety of multiple circumstances via the use of this form of study. In addition, this kind of study may give helpful information regarding how various types of motivators and incentives impact an individual’s level of motivation in multiple circumstances.
 In general, techniques that are grounded in cognitive neuroscience offer a valuable instrument for studying motivation in both controlled and natural settings. Researchers can design more effective therapies and interventions to boost positive motivation and goal accomplishment if they can learn more about the neurological mechanisms and processes underlying motivation. In addition, these methodologies may provide light on how various stimuli and incentives influence an individual’s stimulation level in multiple settings.

Consider an association between a risk factor and a particular health outcome that is of interest to you. Then, select the observational study design you think would be the most appropriate for exploring this association.

  
Discussion: Observational Study Designs
A clinical pediatric nurse has noticed a rise in childhood cancer diagnoses among the Hispanic population served by the local clinic. The nurse is concerned about this increase in cancer incidence in the patient population and turns to the literature to explore current research on this topic. The nurse finds through the reading that there appears to be an association between parental smoking and childhood cancer and wonders if this could be the cause of the rise in cases.
This type of suspected association between a risk factor (exposure) and a particular outcome (childhood cancer) can be evaluated using an observational study design. This week, you were introduced to observational study designs used in epidemiology. For this Discussion, you will identify an epidemiologic association of interest (e.g., smoking and lung cancer, obesity and heart disease, hormone replacement/modification therapy and breast cancer) and determine an appropriate observational study design for exploring that association.
To prepare:
· Review the different types of observational study designs presented in the Learning Resources: ecologic, cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort.
· Carefully examine the characteristics, strengths, and limitations of each design.
· Consider an association between a risk factor and a particular health outcome that is of interest to you. Then, select the observational study design you think would be the most appropriate for exploring this association.
· Consider how using observational study designs can lead to improvements in population health.
By Day 3
Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:
· Identify the association between the risk factor and health outcome you selected, and suggest which observational study design you feel is most appropriate for examining that association.
· Support your selection of the observational design, noting its strengths and limitations for addressing the health problem.
· What might you be able to learn by using your selected study design that might lead to improvements in population health? Support your response with evidence from the literature.
