Dark matter and dark energy are two of the biggest mysteries in science today. Although we don’t know what they are, scientists would not have added them to our models of the universe without strong evidence that they represent real phenomena (see the Hallmarks of Science). In a 2-3 paragraph essay, identify one piece of evidence for the existence of either dark matter or dark energy, and describe it in detail. Explain why the observations you have chosen are scientifically convincing evidence for the existence of dark matter or dark energy.

1. In the first eight chapters of the novel Frankenstein we, as readers, do not become aware of the full extent of the conflict in the novel; but we do know the unstable situation (the creation of the Monster) and the reaction of Victor Frankenstein to his creation. Write one half page in Times New Roman 12 point font in which you describe the wide range of emotions Victor Frankenstein feels in Volume One. If you were a character in the novel, how would you describe Victor to a stranger?

Find at least three places in these chapters where the word “evil” was used, write out the sentence (Please give the page number and paragraph of the page from which you quote), and briefly explain why Shelley used the word “evil” in that sentence.

Activity Three
Learning Objective: Students will apply knowledge of gender stereotypes to the marketing strategies of toys.
Question: How does marketing reinforce gender stereotypes through children’s toys?
Toy Store visit
1. Visit a toy store (e.g., Toys R Us) or the children’s section of a department store (if you don’t have a department store where you live you can go to Target, Walmart, or another store with a decent toy selection. Please state what store you went to for the activity).
2. Take notes on 2 toys or games marketed to boys and 2 toys or games marketed to girls. Can you tell which are the girls’ toys and which are the boys’ toys? If so, how? Pay attention to the location in the store, packaging, color, and nature of the toy. How are the toys different? How are the toys similar? Try to find 2 gender neutral toys and compare them to the gender stereotypical toys. Where in the store are they located? Are there any differences in the way they are marketed?
3. As part of the narrative, compare these toys to the ones you had in your childhood. Be sure to end with a conclusion.
4. For your assignment, you will write a 2 page narrative about what you observed. Make sure to start with an introduction that includes the date, time, store visited and location (city is enough). Based on your notes, address the questions in #2 above. Remember I can not see what you saw in the store, so please provide enough detail to be clear. You may attach photos. As stated in the grading rubric, write your activity in complete sentences with transitions, using appropriate sentence and paragraph structure. Avoid writing like a text message.

1. Discuss Christie Digital’s market development strategy. How would you characterize its approach to international markets? What is its approach to pricing and branding?
2. From the case study and the website, what are Christie’s marketing strengths? Does the case identify any weaknesses?
3. Who are Christie’s key customers in each of its product segments? What do you think drives customer buying/purchasing in each segment (ie price, quality, value, innovation, function, etc)?
4. What are the marketing features of the website? How does Christie demonstrate that it is a global company? Is the website effective?
5. New products – Christie Medical Innovations: how does this product fit with Christie’s portfolio? Do you think that this acquisition was a good move for Christie?

1. Using the preapproved theorists and resources, select and analyze a foundational theory of personality for its historical context, theorist�s biases, and research methods. Aspects you will address in this analysis would include the following: o Analyze the background of your theory. This means including key biographical information related to the theorist (not simply providing biographical elements about the theorist) and the historical context in which the theory was developed. For example, were there important world events that may have influenced the theorist? o Analyze the essential characteristics of the theory. This is a section in which you begin to incorporate relevant research that demonstrates the development of the theory. For example, was the theory a reaction against other forces in psychology of the time or an extension of the work of an earlier theorist?
2. Evaluate this theory�s continued relevance, validity, and corresponding accuracy in the context of the contemporary principles and current research findings in this field. o Evaluate the validity and corresponding accuracy of the theory. Validity of a theory relates to such issues as how well the theory explains behavior, how well the theory makes testable predictions, and how well those predictions are supported by research. For example, what is the research evidence that supports the theory? What is the research evidence that does not support the theory? How does the theory explain personality development? o Evaluate the aspects that are relevant in the field today and the ones that are not. What is the current thinking in the field using evidence from recent research? Note that �recent� research is defined as within the last five years.
3. After analyzing and evaluating your selected foundation theory and theorist(s), you will use this lens to analyze a complex problem in the field of personality psychology that draws upon this theory and propose an appropriate solution to that complex problem that draws upon contemporary principles and current research findings in this field. o Discuss how your theory relates to the problem. For example, if you are addressing psychoanalytical theory and the current complex problem you are addressing is child abuse and neglect, explain how your theory relates to or explains this problem. o Ensure that the solution you propose is consistent with the theory and contemporary relevance of the problem you have identified. How would your selected theorist approach this problem? For example, if you have selected one of the existential theorists, how might he or she conceptualize the current problem of PTSD? What specific approach would the theorist take in dealing with this problem? How valid do you find this approach? If there is available research related to the application of this theory to this specific problem, describe that research here. Also, consider describing research that you believe would help inform this issue.
4. In discussing your solution, assess how personality psychological practices differ in terms of their appropriateness for diverse populations and application practices. o Address the applicability of your selected theory in terms of its appropriateness for diverse populations. Applicability of a theory generally relates to how well the theory can be applied to real-world situations. In other words, how well can your selected theory be applied in a variety of cultural situations? o Include examples of how the approach to implementing your solution in practice might differ based on the target population.
5. Include a cogent thesis and thesis argument that will clearly defend a position on the role personality psychology plays in the broader field of psychology and its relevancy to practical issues. o Your position will demonstrate that you are familiar with the relevant current research. For example, if you are stating that social learning theory is still relevant to your proposed solution, you are following up that statement with evidence from current research that supports your position and explains why. o You will demonstrate your informed opinion and articulate its viability. Your article should address research that exists against your position and your articulation of why or why not that research is viable and how it impacts what you are stating in your own article. o You will address what research needs to be done to further support or not support the position you are taking. What sort of research would validate or invalidate your position? For example, when you restate your proposed solution in closing, you might say something like, �If we want to fully explore the implications of this learning theory in early childhood development, the type of research we would need to engage in for a more comprehensive dialogue would consist of��
