International Dimensions of HRM -content– Commentary A Change of Heart About Animals They are more like us than we imagined, scientists are finding. September 01, 2003|Jeremy Rifkin • o o o Email Share o o o o Though much of big science has centered on breakthroughs in biotechnology, nanotechnology and more esoteric questions like the age of our universe, a quieter story has been unfolding behind the scenes in laboratories around the world — one whose effect on human perception and our understanding of life is likely to be profound. What these researchers are finding is that many of our fellow creatures are more like us than we had ever imagined. They feel pain, suffer and experience stress, affection, excitement and even love — and these findings are changing how we view animals. Strangely enough, some of the research sponsors are fast food purveyors, such as McDonald’s, Burger King and KFC. Pressured by animal rights activists and by growing public support for the humane treatment of animals, these companies have financed research into, among other things, the emotional, mental and behavioral states of our fellow creatures. Studies on pigs’ social behavior funded by McDonald’s at Purdue University, for example, have found that they crave affection and are easily depressed if isolated or denied playtime with each other. The lack of mental and physical stimuli can result in deterioration of health. The European Union has taken such studies to heart and outlawed the use of isolating pig stalls by 2012. In Germany, the government is encouraging pig farmers to give each pig 20 seconds of human contact each day and to provide them with toys to prevent them from fighting. Other funding sources have fueled the growing field of study into animal emotions and cognitive abilities. Researchers were stunned recently by findings (published in the journal Science) on the conceptual abilities of New Caledonian crows. In controlled experiments, scientists at Oxford University reported that two birds named Betty and Abel were given a choice between using two tools, one a straight wire, the other a hooked wire, to snag a piece of meat from inside a tube. Both chose the hooked wire. Abel, the more dominant male, then stole Betty’s hook, leaving her with only a straight wire. Betty then used her beak to wedge the straight wire in a crack and bent it with her beak to produce a hook. She then snagged the food from inside the tube. Researchers repeated the experiment and she fashioned a hook out of the wire nine of out of 10 times. Equally impressive is Koko, the 300-pound gorilla at the Gorilla Foundation in Northern California, who was taught sign language and has mastered more than 1,000 signs and understands several thousand English words. On human IQ tests, she scores between 70 and 95. Tool-making and the development of sophisticated language skills are just two of the many attributes we thought were exclusive to our species. Self-awareness is another. Some philosophers and animal behaviorists have long argued that other animals are not capable of self-awareness because they lack a sense of individualism. Not so, according to new studies. At the Washington National Zoo, orangutans given mirrors explore parts of their bodies they can’t otherwise see, showing a sense of self. An orangutan named Chantek who lives at the Atlanta Zoo used a mirror to groom his teeth and adjust his sunglasses. Of course, when it comes to the ultimate test of what distinguishes humans from the other creatures, scientists have long believed that mourning for the dead represents the real divide. It’s commonly believed that other animals have no sense of their mortality and are unable to comprehend the concept of their own death. Not necessarily so. Animals, it appears, experience grief. Elephants will often stand next to their dead kin for days, occasionally touching their bodies with their trunks. We also know that animals play, especially when young. Recent studies in the brain chemistry of rats show that when they play, their brains release large amounts of dopamine, a neurochemical associated with pleasure and excitement in human beings. Noting the striking similarities in brain anatomy and chemistry of humans and other animals, Stephen M. Siviy, a behavioral scientist at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania, asks a question increasingly on the minds of other researchers. “If you believe in evolution by natural selection, how can you believe that feelings suddenly appeared, out of the blue, with human beings?” Until very recently, scientists were still advancing the idea that most creatures behaved by sheer instinct and that what appeared to be learned behavior was merely genetically wired activity. Now we know that geese have to teach their goslings their migration routes. In fact, we are finding that learning is passed on from parent to offspring far more often than not and that most animals engage in all kinds of learned experience brought on by continued experimentation.

“Think Piece” -content– This assignment is a “think piece,” which is an essay that requires you to interact with a subject and develop your own interpretation based on that experience. After your initial analysis of a specific topic, you should synthesize that with other outside research to support your ideas. You should use a minimum of two other scholarly, peer-reviewed resources found in the APUS library. . Specifically for this assignment we will use an interactive map of westward expansion from 1860 to 1890. You can access it at this URL: http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/asset/akh10_int_expansion/ Once you have the map open, click on the boxes for Major Cities, Railroad Networks, Improved Agricultural Land, and States and Territories. At the bottom of the map, you will notice the decades 1860, 1870, 1880, and 1890. Click on each of these decades in succession and you will see the ways in which the country changed. The goal of this assignment is for you to interpret, synthesize, and analyze what you are seeing on the map. You will make a well-organized argument, support that through research, and then write a conclusion for your findings. Analysis is the process whereby the researcher separates something into its component parts. In an analytical essay, the writer examines a subject relative to its own terms, and explains the problem by studying the individual parts. In contrast, synthesis requires that the researcher examine individual unrelated parts in an effort to discover something new. A good essay will utilize both analysis and synthesis. Instead of examining the simple facts of a problem, the writer will go beyond the obvious, making connections between different pieces of evidence to discover something new. As an example, consider a modern map of the world illustrating the growth of the internet over the last thirty years. It demonstrates the new ways in which the world is connected by facilitating the spread of ideas through instantaneous communication. Access to much of the information that once required us to physically travel to a library is now accessible through a computer at home (or a mobile phone in your pocket). Social media has also given us the ability to discuss and debate ideas, not only with our friends and family, but with people we may have never met. We all have the power to disseminate knowledge around the globe within a matter of seconds. If you were writing a paper on this topic (this is an example only, as your paper will focus on the period from 1860 to 1890) you could analyze this larger topic by focusing on a specific aspect like use of the internet in online education. You might make the argument that the internet has enabled more non-traditional students to pursue a higher education. Your synthesis would include understanding the connections between your outside research and your argument. This essay should be at least three double-spaced pages of text (Times New Roman, font size 12) and you must consult a minimum of two academically credible sources. Bibliographies and citations can be in MLA, APA, or Chicago format. If you are a history major, we strongly suggest that all citations adhere to the Chicago Manual of Style. the book for this paper is America: A Concise History since 1865

Research Paper Special Education -content– ELSE 6023 Characteristics of Individuals With Disabilities Research Paper Overview The purpose of this project is to provide you with an opportunity to become more familiar with a particular disability/disorder. It also encourages you to access resources that you will need in the future whenever you have a child with a particular disability/disorder that you will need to research. It would be very difficult for you to learn about every possible disorder, so whenever you have a child move into your classroom with a particular one, you will want to conduct research to help you be a more effective teacher. I am asking you to go beyond what has been learned in class and via our textbook to expand your knowledge w/up-to-date information on a selected disability. Your purpose is to explain, therefore, you will be writing an informative or expository paper and will be concerned with presenting facts accurately, and completely. You will use the American Psychological Association (APA) style (latest edition) to write your paper. Steps of the Research Assignment: I. Choose a topic. What disability strongly interests you? What do you know already about the topic? What would you like to know? II. Focus your topic. Use a strategy such as clustering, listing, free writing, or brainstorming with a colleague to help you think about your topic’s many possibilities. Will you be able to find any sources on your topic? Is there a variety of resources, not just one kind? Is the topic manageable? Does the topic suit the assignment in length, time, and subject? III. List some questions you will need to answer your focus idea. Journalists’ questions such as who, what, when, where, why, and how will help you get started.

Directions Your Topic You may choose any topic that you would like to know more about. However, if you choose a topic from the textbook, make sure that you provide a lot of different information from that included by the author. If you happen to choose the same topic as one of your colleagues, the information/format should be significantly different. Possible topics (though you are not limited to these) include: • Cri-du-Chat (also known as 5p Minus) • Angleman Syndrome • Spina Bifida or other neural tube defects • Tourette’s Syndrome • Turner’s Syndrome • Prader Willi Syndrome • Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Effect • Failure to Thrive (FTT) • Mendelian traits Look in the appendix of your text and you will see many more. Resources You will want to use the ASU library in order to access peer-reviewed journals. I have a help sheet online that shows you how to do this. You may also use information on Web pages (on a limited basis); because many times the particular syndrome/disability will have its own organization and/or Web site. You MUST, however, have some peer-reviewed journals included. If you find that there are not any or you are unable to access them, then you need to choose another topic. Requirements: 1. Your paper should be written in APA 6th (or latest edition) Style. This means your paper must be double spaced, use Times New Roman 12 point font and have 1-inch margins. The following Web sites will help you if you are unfamiliar with the format: http://webster.commnet.edu/apa/ http://www3.wooster.edu/psychology/apacrib/apacrib.html http://www.lib.umd.edu/guides/citing_apa.html You will lose points for not following stated requirements. 2. You must have a minimum of five citations from referred journals (or books written on the subject). a. If you use the ASU online journal as outlined for you, these will be referred journals. b. Journals should include at least three references from the year 2007 or after. 3. You may use Web sites, but make sure that you cite correctly according to APA style. 4. Paper should be a minimum of seven pages not including bibliography/reference page(s). 5. Include an introduction and conclusion paragraph for your paper. For maxium points, adhere to rubric. 6. You must have a reference page. Per APA style, make sure any reference that is listed on the reference page is cited within the paper and vice-versa. 7. Whatever statements are within your research paper should have a citation from where you got your information. See APA on how to do this. Do NOT pull all of your information from one major source. Have several different sources that are equally represented. 8. Assignment will be submitted via Safe Assign. Remember, you should not have more than a sentence, or some say more than five consecutive words, that are pulled from someone else’s work without putting in quotes (See APA guidelines). The best way to avoid this is to read the information, then put it down and write what you want to say from it. This assignment is due in Session 7.
