William G. Perry: Forms of Intellectual and Ethical Development in the College Years

Perry conducts research on college age students and sets forth their intellectual and ethical development through nine positions. Position One is designated as Basic Duality. At this stage, the student places knowledge into two categories: the “in-group” and the “outgroup” (Diessner, 2008). According to Perry, position one has the following attributes: Within the in group are things familiar: truths that concern obedience. The student develops knowledge through committing items to memory and obeying Authority. The out group consists of things unknown or alien to the student. This set of knowledge is considered illegitimate and wrong. The student sees no ...

The Theme park is facing a problem of determining the limits of the height that would include at least 90% of the children that attend the theme park. To solve this problem the theme park can apply the central limit theorem to establish the height limits for each age group. The central limit theorem states that the mean for a sufficiently large population will be normally distributed (Curwin & Slater, 2008). Therefore, given the standard deviation and the mean of each set, the theme park can construct confidence intervals for each group. To ensure at least 90% of the children ...

The Effects of Climate Change on Allergies and Asthma Cases

Since the discovery of global warming or climate change, scientists have been warning the public of the possible implications this phenomenon could bring. They highlight erratic and severe weather patterns, changing ecosystems and the persistence of diseases that cannot easily be treated. While skeptics remain ignorant over these warnings and governments trying to make amends over their national policies, statistics show that these warnings should be taken seriously especially with regards to respiratory diseases such as asthma and allergies. However, it is a question as to what impacts climate change has towards the prevalence on allergies and asthma cases ...

Drinking is a major and controversial issue without our world today. Some people want drinking to become legal at a higher age of 21, while other people want it to remain at the age of 18. Furthermore, drinking is also the cause of senseless deaths such as drunken driving accidents, and even violent incidents that may have never occurred in the first place. Moreover, it is also important to note that not every state puts the drinking age at 18 years old, just like not every state puts the drinking age at 21 either. This can be a good ...

While tobacco use among adolescents has reduced dramatically over the past four decades, its prevalence remains worryingly high. Nearly 90% of all smokers tried out cigarettes in adolescence and 99% first started by the age of 26. An estimated 3,800 youths aged 18 years or younger try out their first cigarette, and a further 2,100 young adults become daily smokers. In 2015, one in three high school seniors reported having smoked a cigarette, while 1 in 15 12th graders (or 7%) reported smoking regularly and on a daily basis. This translates to nearly 450,000 12- to ...
