Behavior change The concept of behavior change can best be described as modifying or modifying the aspect of human behavior. Various aspects are attributed to behavior change, which includes the aspect of mental illness that is attributed to various factors that include illness, genetics, experience, or physical injury. Other factors that can translate to behavior change include anxiety, PSTD, bipolar disorder, and depression (Sailor, Dunlap, Sugai, & Horner, 2008). The efforts employed in promoting generalized behavior change are significantly enhanced by having to adhere to the five guiding principles. Generalized behavior change significantly entails the aspect of systematic planning. The initial step subject to the promotion of generalized behavior change is the selection of target behaviors that are subject to meeting the natural existing reinforcement contingencies. The five guiding principles include the minimization as much as possible subject to the need of generalization, conducting generalization probes prior to the instruction, during and after, the involvement of significant others when possible, the promotion of generalized behavior change subject to the least costly, least intrusive approaches, and contrive intervention approaches required with subject…

Anthony Bourdain revealed the dark side of kitchens, and this is concerning addiction and mental health issues. A man who was the voice of restaurant professionals, earned excellent respect ad admiration from people in the industry, was a victim of substance abuse. Bourdain’s struggle with substance use was something that he talked openly but battled less with depression. The main question is if such as prominent person could end his life, what was it like for an average chef or a line cook who experienced the challenge Bourdain did?

        Discussion Response on implementation of strategies by the stock market Response 1 Hello Mahima Aka Kittu Gupta I concur with you about the discussion on strategies that are implemented with substitutes that are owned in the stock market. Implementing a strategy like promotional pricing is convincing to customers since it tends to revolve around price alterations. Promotion makes a brand to be known by my customers who are seeking cheap and quality products. Customers’ attention is easily captured by discounts and low pricing of products and services. Subsequently, psychological pricing is another strategy that tries to bring subconscious awareness that has an influence on customers (Dangelico & Vocalelli, 2017). In this case, the company tries to play around with the price the whole number making it look as if it is lower than the expected value by a small margin. Moreover, brand sales and strategizing, you can add that both strategies can be combined together to bring a revolution in market stock hence brand sustainability.                 Reference Dangelico, R.…

  Ancient Egypt There was Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. Upper Egypt was a strip of land on both sides of the Nile River, while the lower Egypt was situated in the northern parts of the Nile Delta. Later on, in 3100 B.C.E, the two Egypt were united by the King of Upper Egypt, King Narmer. For many years, the Nile River flooded. The flooding of the Nile River occurred between July to September. The flooding resulted from the tropical rains that happened in the highlands of Ethiopia and central Sudan. The flooding caused damage to the animals and also humans during those times. The flooding of the Nile River made the land on either side of the Nile River fertile thus this encouraged agriculture by the majority of the population. The Ancient Egyptians had religious beliefs. Their religion consisted of many gods. Some of the gods that they believed in were the sun, water, air, earth, and the sky. The Egyptians also believed in the afterlife. They housed the dead bodies since they thought that the deceased would have…

The conviction of Alexander William Holmes If I were the jury proceeding over the conviction of Alexander William Holmes, I would have keenly disagreed over the decision of the conviction. The main purpose of my decision would be on the question of justifiable manslaughter, which lied on the looming of harm. If I were the jury, I would have placed myself in Holmes’s situation and try to think of a better idea in such a situation in which someone leads to no other way that the one Holmes took.  The judge argues that sailors have to ensure the sailors; however, this is not the only belief that can view Holme’s actions. In my interpretation, Holmes sacrifices one group over the other.  The sailors who left on a different boat were supposed to ensure the remaining ones’ safety and not risk their lives and leave the passengers stranded in the sea. The sailors knew their duties very well and that it was their duty, and that why remain to make sure that the other group was safe. The situation that Holmes…
