"I think it’s critical that the stereotype that minorities can’t do physics be challenged." APS News, Vol. 1, No. 9, pp 12-15, September 1992

Reducing phd production vis-à-vis minorities and women From the OPINION section of the November, 1994 issue ofthe American Physical Society (APS) News, Vol. 3, No. 10, p. 5.

"…several APS Council Members supporting a campaign to reduce PhD production had characterized the recruitment and retention of minorities and women as, under the present circumstances, “immoral.”
In 1981 nearly 1000 physics PhDs were granted to U.S. citizens. Only 4 of these PhDs were granted to African-Americans that year (I was one of them). Similarly abysmal statistics could also be cited for other minority groups and women. Today, more than a decade later, the number of physics PhDs granted to an under-represented minority rarely exceeds 10 nationally….
Earlier this year, I attended the 8th Annual National Conference of Black Physics Students (Georgia Institute of Technology, February 10-13, 1994) and participated in a panel discussion on ‘Life After Graduate School.’After the panel discussion a student from Appalachian State University approached me and said, “this conference has given me the opportunity to see and talk to a black PhD physicist for the very first time. I had heard that they do indeed exist, but I never saw one. Having actually met several at this meeting has now encouraged me to go on for my PhD.”This young man’s situation is so typical of the minority student experience (mine included), that it makes imperative the need to continue aggressive recruitment/retention efforts. Without representation in the physics community, promising, young students have no role models to reflect their own aspirations and abilities."

why is communication effective
Dakolo Reply
Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the person begins to jumb back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes. Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment

because it helps many people around the world to understand how to interact with other people and understand them well, for example at work (job).

Isn't practices worldwide, be it psychology, be it science. isn't much just a false belief of control over something the mind cannot truly comprehend?

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
Amesalu Reply
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
