Sexual selection in humans: a reflection of human mating and social systems
Think of a human trait you think evolved through sexual selection. This should be a trait that does not increase survival, and may even decrease survival, but does increase mating opportunities. Often sexually selected traits are sexually dimorphic (it differs somehow in males vs. females). Describe how your trait may have evolved through sexual selection. **
• Do you think your trait a result of intersexual selection, intrasexual selection, or both? Explain your reasoning.
• How did the trait enable better access to mates?
• How has the trait changed through time?
• How does this trait reflect human mating and social systems?

1. Define, discuss and describe what technologies are currently in use for Wifi on airplanes. There are currently two mainstream methods in use. Describe how each accomplishes the same task using different communication techniques.

2. Traditionally, it has been very expensive to make phone calls while on an airplane. With telecommunication convergence, there is no longer need for a distinction between voice and data. Internet access on domestic flights can be purchased for as little as $7 per day/flight. After a long-standing ban on VoIP phone a call on flights, airlines are now considering allowing VoIP calls using airplane WiFi. One can quickly see that 200 people making phone calls can become a significant disturbance, especially when you are trapped in an aluminum can for 15+ hours. Give your opinion on whether telephone conversations should be allowed on airplanes and suggest possible compromises.

Consider enabling behaviors and what the person who was enabling was trying to protect the user from? What type of support might the significant others need? (10 pts.)

Buyer Behavior Application
Buyer behavior is at the core of marketing. All marketing programs need to begin with an understanding of why and how consumers buy what they do. If no one purchases a company’s product or service, the company will quickly go out of business.
Apply the model of consumer behavior (Exhibit 11 on page 89 of your textbook) to the product/service you selected in Module 1. Explain how the model affect the purchase process as it relates to the product/service.
Providing a list of the steps or a graphic of the model is not adequate, you should explain how the process works in the real world using your own words supported by research.
You must use at least two articles from the Trident Online Library’s online databases (Academic Search Complete, Business Source Complete and/or ProQuest Central). The focus of this assignment is application and critical thinking. Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite and reference the sources in APA format. The paper should be written in third person; this means words like “I,” “we,” and “you” are not appropriate. For more information see Differences Between First and Third Person.
See the Student Guide to Writing a High-Quality Academic Paper, including pages 13 and 14 on in-text citations. Another resource is the “Writing Style Guide,” which is found under “My Resources” on the TLC portal. All research should be cited in the body of the paper. In-text citations and corresponding references should be included in your paper. The use of direct quotes is strongly discouraged.
Use the attached APA-formatted template (MKT301 SLP2) to create your submission.

Each student must improve one Wikipedia article that addresses a short story or poem from our assigned reading. Each student will analyze the current Wikipedia article and then rewrite the article to preserve its strengths and to correct its weaknesses. Students should select an article that needs improvement. For instance, compare the excellent (and very long) Wikipedia article about Shakespeare’s Hamlet with the weaker article about “A Rose for Emily” or the very weak article about “Soldier’s Home”. Avoid the “Hamlet” article as it has little room for you to make a contribution. If you research a poem or story that does not have an article in Wikipedia, then create a new article modelled on an existing, exceptional Wikipedia article. For a good model of a Wikipedia article, look at “Indian Camp” the short story or “Ulysses” the poem.
Begin your article by using the opening paragraph of the Wikipedia article. For instance, if you choose to develop the article about Faulkner’s story “A Rose for Emily”, then start this way:
According to Wikipedia, “A Rose for Emily” is a short story by American author William Faulkner first published in April 30, 1930 issue of The Forum. The story takes place in Faulkner’s fictional city, Jefferson, Mississippi, in the fictional county of Yoknapatawpha County. It was Faulkner’s first short story published in a national magazine.
If you copy and paste the material from Wikipedia, then you must be careful to change the font and style to match your MLA document and to remove the hyperlinks, which MLA does not use. Remember, MLA and Wikipedia do not use the same format, so be mindful. Part of the purpose for this assignment is to teach you how to format a document in MLA style. You should also add authoritative resources to support the facts in any material you add to your document. For instance, add a reference for the date of publication.
This document focuses on research of a given work. It also assesses if you can analyze an existing critical article for strengths and weaknesses. Thus, this assignment helps you sharpen your ability to analyze and research an assigned topic or issue, a skill that will work well for you in college and in your careers. Your purpose is to provide interested readers with reliable information about your topic. Your voice should be academic, educated, and authoritative—slightly stuffy. You should verify everything you write with authoritative sources. There is no room in this article for your opinion, so avoid using first and second person (I and you). You should sound like an encyclopedia that addresses an educated audience in search of useful, reliable information about some poem or short story. You want to convince your readers that they have gotten the best information, so you must base your information on authoritative resources. The library can help you find those resources. Follow the MLA guidelines.
You must cite everything in your article. Citations have two parts: the in-text citation which points to a reference on the Works Cited page. For instance, when you quote a story such as “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner, put the title of the story in quotation marks, put the quote itself in quotation marks if shorter than 4 lines: “When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral” (99), with the page number/s in parentheses inside the end punctuation. If you quote 4 lines or more, set off the quote on separate lines, indented one-half inch from the left margin, without quotation marks, with the page number/s in parentheses outside the end punctuation:
Already we knew that there was one room in that region above stairs which no one had seen in forty years, and which would have to be forced. They waited until Miss Emily was decently in the ground before they opened it. The violence of breaking down the door seemed to fill this room with pervading dust. A thin, acrid pall as of the tomb seemed to lie everywhere. (104)
Using the author’s last name (Faulkner) in your text points the reader to a reference on the Works Cited page at the end of the document. Remember: a citation has two parts: in-text citation and end of document reference. You must have BOTH.

How to Write a Sports-Related Press Release
Instructions

1 Gather all the pertinent facts about the sports news. This includes the team or individuals that are involved, the sporting event, the date and why the story is newsworthy.
2 Turn on your computer and open your word processing program. Create a new document.
3 Create the header of the press release. Include the team logo centered in the header if this is available. Be sure to start with your contact information aligned on the left margin with each bit of information having its own line: name, phone, email. Write “FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE” aligned on the left to draw the readers’ attention to this as being time-sensitive material.
4Write the title of the press release, centered with one line skipped between the contact information and the title. Use all capital letters in the title and give the gist of the information in this. Use a subtitle if you need to under the title, capitalizing only the first letter of each word. To include the following types of sport press releases: General, Game advance, Game review, Hometown, and Season Preview
5 Draft your body. There should be three main paragraphs, including the location and date (bolded), and stating the information that will grab an audience about the sports news. For example, you may want to state that the Local Tiny Tots have won the State Little League Championships and the town of Boca is having a parade in their honor.
In the second paragraph, include background information on the accomplishment. For example, you may want to state how the team got to this level and how far into the season it is. Include quote from key individuals (team captains, coaches or MVP).
The last paragraph should state the background of the team, including any previous successes, the coach’s bio and team/player profiles.
6 Write a contact paragraph. This isn’t part of the body of your press release and should be segmented by several spaces and a center marker, such as several pound signs or asterisks. Repeat the contact information, this time in sentence form.
7 Review your press release for grammatical and spelling errors to create the final copy, and then send it out to local newspapers, television stations and magazines by mail or fax. You can send it out by email, but don’t make this your primary method of distribution, because email is easily overlooked.
Types of Press Releases

Press releases are often lumped together as one single tool in PR writing or publicity. However, there are many different types of press releases, all with their own rules, formats, and other subtle differences in how they convey a message to members of the media.
General News Releases – General press releases are what most people think of when they think of press releases. A general press release simply includes news that needs to be disseminated to members of the media in the hopes of media coverage and exposure. For example, a general news release might be used if a company runs a contest, wins an award, or has some other general news about the company, organization, person, or website.

Pre- Season Releases – tend to follow the format of a general news release, but with a more specific function. Pre -Season releases have to carry an extra air or urgency or timeliness to generate buzz around the launch of some kind. Used to “hype” an up- coming season, players, & the team

Event Press Releases – Event press releases are often formatted differently than a general news release, because they need to very clearly lay out the who, what, when, where, and why, often in a list or outline form rather than laid out in paragraphs. As opposed to media advisories, which are intended to convince people to actually attend an event, event press releases are usually issued in hopes that the media will hype the event to the public.

Game reviews – are utilized to summarize the results of an event. This includes news that is disseminated to the public for informational and for persuasion, as to influence the activities of the potential consumer. An example would be a release that hypes the results of a contest to persuade a potential consumer to possibly attend future contests.

Hometown Releases – These are utilized to attract consumers from out of market areas to possibly attend events because of the association with a member of the team. An example would be to send a local interest release to a news agency in area that is a home town to one of the players. Keary Rouff, who is from Bradford, Pa. now attends and plays baseball for the Kansas Jayhawks. In his last game he hit for the cycle. This info would be transmitted back to the news agency in Bradford in order to generate local interest and possibly attract out of market consumers to come to his games.

Pérez and Luquis (2014) stated, “Integrating cultural proficiency practices into the individual practices of health educators and public health organizational policies is a call to action” (p. 50). It is important for those in health care to be aware of the methods used to identify and evaluate the specific health care needs of individuals, communities, and populations, and to understand the meaning of health literacy as it pertains to the needs of a multicultural population or group.
SHOW LESS
With a growing diverse population, the incorporation of cultural and linguistic competence should be included into the planning, implementation, and evaluation of health education and promotion programs. “In this process, it is essential to employ theoretical models that describe and explain culture and related concepts (Pérez & Luquis, 2014, p. 165). Cultural constructs need to be applied to all health education, promotion, and prevention interventions targeting diverse communities (Pérez & Luquis, 2014).
