Child development

Create and analyze an activity that could be carried out with preschoolers. After researching potential DAP activities, complete the DAP Activity Plan for a preschool-age appropriate activity using the template below. Identify the potential growth across the PILES developmental domains and a child development theory connection.

2:Economics

The U.S. government passed a bill back in the 1855 which is generally referred to as the “Land Grant College Act”. By that act, each state was granted federal government property to be used by each state to establish a college whose primary purpose was to research agricultural. These land grant colleges have created a safe, productive food supply for the country – a seemingly noble – non-political cause. But have also led to huge over-production and falling wages for farmers.
To combat the resulting falling farm incomes and deal with over-production, the government has started a second set of programs designed to address these problems. Pick one of these programs and describe how the economics you’ve just learned would predict the success or failure of these programs.

Programs:

1) Agricultural Price Supports: gaurantees farmers a set minimum price for their output
2) The Food Stamp Program: distributes excess food to people who can not afford to purchase enough food
3) The Set-Aside Program: pays farmers to not farm on a portion of their land

The intent is not for you to “be right” but to learn what U.S. economic policy has done and test whether you understand economic theory.</p>

3:Criminology

Paper Length: 3 pages (or more): Charts and references do not count toward the page requirement There are differing definitions of crime and delinquency, the methods of measuring crime and the costs of crime. In this paper, you are to select a crime of interest and a corresponding victimized person/group. (For example, you may be interested in assault and the victim/population could be significant others.) Once you select the crime, you are to do the following: Define the crime How is it measured (federal, state, or local). You can use the web as a source. What population are you considering (juveniles, men, elderly, etc.) What is the prevalence of the crime? Who is the victim(s)? What are some flaws in measurement? What is the social and economic cost of the crime? You can use books, journals and web sources. Wikipedia is to NOT be used. Be sure to assess .com and .org sites for trustworthiness. If you wish, you can include charts and graphs. You must use at least 2 journal or book resources. At minimum, you are to use 4 total references. Journals can be accessed via Farmingdale’s library page. The source must be a journal (not a magazine or AP article). If you need clarity or assistance, please ask. All assignments must be APA style, typed, 12 point font, double spaced, Times New Roman, 1? margins. Papers must be grammatically correct and proofread.
