Discuss how Porter’s Five Forces Analysis is an important tool for assessing the potential for profitability in an industry.

Discuss how Porter’s Five Forces Analysis is an important tool for assessing the potential for profitability in an industry. As an example, Mr. Porter applied these five forces to the airline industry. Think of another industry where profitability is low. In an initial post of at least 250 words, apply the five forces to your chosen industry and demonstrate how those forces can lower profitability.

What are the main points of agreement and disagreement between the two?

Apply the arguments made by both Keynes and Hayek to the textbook’s and our discussion of fiscal stimulus, financing fiscal stimulus, austerity policies, and positive and negative feedback mechanisms. Which side of the argument about fiscal stimulus is each economist is on? What are the main points of agreement and disagreement between the two? Which economist makes the stronger argument in your estimation?

What will the student receive throughout the process for exhibiting the desired behavior, and then upon reaching the goal?

Assignment: Create a Functional Behavioral Assessment and Behavioral Intervention Plan

Instructions
To complete this assignment, you may use templates located throughout the text. You will create a functional behavioral assessment and behavioral intervention plan consisting of the following parts:

Part 1: Select a Target Behavior. Use a friend, spouse, significant other, or your own child as a model. Define and clearly state the behavior to be changed in operational terms. Identify the terminal behavior and the expectations. This will keep the report aligned with expected outcomes and prevent reinforcement of unrelated or negative behaviors. Identify incremental behaviors if needed. Positive targets are desirable (e.g., increasing desired behavior versus decreasing behavior).

Part 2: Collect Baseline Information. Obtain a baseline of behavior prior to implementing the program by using a tally or a chart. Collect descriiptive or quantitative data on intensity and/or frequency as appropriate. Collecting baseline data makes it possible to determine the effects of reinforcement as well as to identify changes in behavior.

Part 3: Identify a Reinforcer. What will the student receive throughout the process for exhibiting the desired behavior, and then upon reaching the goal? Remember, the reinforcer must be appealing to the student if he/she is expected to work to obtain it. Reinforcement should be individualized to the student and may be primary (tangible) or secondary (social). Internal or self-dispensed reinforcement can be used as long as the reinforcer is clearly defined.

Part 4: Develop a Behavior Change Program. What are the contingencies? Describe the learning situation. Arrange the environment so the desirable behavior will occur. Identify the method and schedule of reinforcement. Possible behavior change methods include: shaping, modeling, contingency contracting, token economy, extinction, time-out, desensitization, and punishment. Schedules include: fixed/variable, interval/ratio. Positive interventions are the most desirable. Set a realistic and specific goal slightly above baseline. State your goal in measurable terms.

Part 5: Implement the Behavior Change Program and Establish and Maintain Records. Maintain ongoing records of the target behavior to determine whether the response length or frequency has increased or decreased. Organize and chart in the same manner as the baseline data. Maintain some anecdotal records regardless of the data gathering method.

Part 6: Evaluate and Modify the Intervention. Analyze collected information. Compare baseline and intervention data to determine if the program has accomplished the goal. If progress is unsatisfactory, then change reinforcers or procedures. Use data to make changes in the program. Gradually eliminate reinforcement and/or prompts as appropriate.

Length: 10-12 pages, including title and reference page.

References: Minimum of 2 scholarly journal references.

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

Discuss about what constitutes a thorough and foolproof analytical scheme.

Discuss about what constitutes a thorough and foolproof analytical scheme. Why not?

Paragraph from the textbook FOR REFERENCE:

Simple rules cannot be devised for defining what constitutes a thorough and foolproof ana-lytical scheme. Each type of evidence obviously requires different tests, and each test has a different degree of specificity. Thus, one substance could conceivably be identified by one test, whereas another may require a combination of five or six different tests to arrive at an identifica-tion. In a science in which the practitioner has little or no control over the quality and quantity of the specimens received, a standard series of tests cannot encompass all possible problems and pitfalls. So, the forensic scientist must determine at what point the analysis can be concluded and the criteria for positive identification satisfied; for this, the forensic scientist must rely on knowledge gained through education and experience. Ultimately, the conclusion will have to be substantiated beyond any reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Explain what problems these groups were having, how these movements were trying to solve these issues, and what made you support/reject these ideas.

6. In the 20th century, many young Americans joined or supported political/social/cultural movements. In an interpretative essay, analyze whether you would have partaken in three of the following movements: Civil Rights Movement, the counterculture, modern feminism, gay rights movement, or the conservative revolution. Explain what problems these groups were having, how these movements were trying to solve these issues, and what made you support/reject these ideas. In a concluding paragraph, explain whether these movements, in your view, succeeded or not.

Explain how certain rituals and ideas in different cultures come to become societal norms, and then how they change.

Explain how certain rituals and ideas in different cultures come to become societal norms, and then how they change. These attached readings can aid you when discussing this topic and as well link ideas such as race, religion, gender, etc. You can use other information from the given readings but if you do please cite them. Also, please make sure to use all of the readings I attached below. In addition, please be quite specific when writing and don’t just say “our societal norms are different than other cultures,” but say specifically what societal norms you’re about to talk about. Thank you so much.
