In Chapter 12 we will learn how culture and social settings either encourage or discourage motor development. In previous chapters we have studied the development and aging of body systems and the impact it has on motor development among the elderly. I want you to interview two older persons. They must be 60 years or older, and if you have elderly family or friends older than 75 years, that is even better. Try to talk to one male and one female, if possible. Ask them what physical activity they were encouraged to participate during their childhood (about 5 to 14 years of age). What physical activities were they discouraged from participating in? By whom? (Parents, Friends, Teachers, Peers) Since becoming older, what are the changes they have noticed in their own body that has made them alter their way of moving. Ask them to be as descriptive as possible, including what were the reasons given. Please turn in a write up of about three or four pages. It can be in the interview format or as an essay.If you have any questions, please ask me in zoom class or email me.

Here are some sample questions to ask each older person: You can modify them as you see fit.

Age:(1)

Where were you born? (1) Was it an urban/suburban/rural place? (1)

When you were growing up (about 5 – 14 years of age) what was the environment like in your home, neighborhood, and school? (3)

How is your mobility different now compared to when you were in your 20s? (2)

Compose a 750 words essay on Bounded Empowerment: Analyzing Tensions in the Practice of Youth-Led Participatory Research in Urban Public Schools, Emily Ozer et al. Needs to be plagiarism free!

The study was conducted through a systematic review observations in the participating schools classrooms and the incorporated views from both teachers and students involved in the study. The study gains dependability and reliability in the fact that it involved multiple methods of collecting data as opposed to relying on only one method of data collection. The study did face its fair share of stumbling blocks as is to be expected with any study involving respondents who have not been coached.

A number of issues came out concerning the students themselves and also community life in general since the study was conducted on a special type of community. Once students left home and entered the schools they ideally stepped into a different community. This community has prescribed ways of doing things and a different order altogether. The social setting is also somewhat different as influences are totally different from those they would face outside of the school settings. It is unavoidable however for students to bring in some tendencies picked up outside the school community making for a very diverse pool.

One thing that emerged is that there was a certain tension when it came to matters pertaining to issue selection. Students who interacted more often by virtue of being in the same semester tended to identify with largely similar issues. Students across different semesters seemed to have varying opinions and reactions to similar stimuli. This is true with any given community people who spend much together will usually have shared opinions as a result of spending a lot of time together. Such people will usually react in a similar way even when they are not together since certain tendencies rub off.

Another issue that became evident is that with any community social groups that the share common situation they tend to form isolated opinions different from another social grouping. For example, new joining

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on The California Center for Land and Water Stewardship. It needs to be at least 500 words. CCLAWS is a proposed organization that promotes conservation projects relating to land and conservation, stewardship, design, and planning in the state of California. This organization will be an interdisciplinary center at California State Polytechnic University in Pomona. Although most of the projects will be overseen in Orange County, all of California will be included in the projects. CCLAWS is a necessary program due to the situation of urbanization and water consumption. Water is not going to last forever at the rate of consumption and urbanization. The need for conservation and land planning is especially necessary in Southern California’s desert like conditions.

The first goal is “Seek out opportunities and grant funding for projects relating to land and water conservation, stewardship, planning, and design in California”. This goal makes sense. It is also essential this goal is first. Funding for CCLAWS is necessary for the project to work. CCLAWS finds funding from contracted projects, grants, consultant and consultation coordination of a CPP Clearinghouse, professional education, workshops and certifications, development and private support activities, database clearinghouse and community information resources, community workshops and education. These funding sources will help fund projects regarding land and water conservation, stewardship, planning, and design. This type of fund raising makes the outlook for this organization good.

The second goal is “Support the work of, and increase collaboration between, academic departments and units, private organizations, and public agencies with goals similar to those of the Center without duplicating efforts”. This goal also makes sense. If goals and projects are doubled than resources will be wasted. Individual projects can receive enough funding without inefficient waste. There is too much waste today in funding projects. A lack of communication is one of the main reasons. If all parties will communicate, then unnecessary funding of projects already funded.

The last goal states “Through education, outreach, and advocacy encourage respect for Southern California’s rivers, trailways, open space, and nature from multiple perspectives and foster sustainability by balancing natural, social, and economic systems”. It is easier to fund campaigns that educate the public on the damage littering can do, then fund a project to clean up a polluted river or park. It is easier to educate companies about industrial waste, then to fund a cleanup of toxic waste. Education towards green products and sustainable practices are the way to fight pollution. It is easier to prevent any action than deal with the negative consequences later. This goal makes sense. As the old saying goes ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’.

Solutions

The CCLAW center will be able to educate the public and private sectors about water and land conservation.

This program will provide the conservation of water, land stewardship, planning and design.

Planning and design of bike trails, jogging paths, and other encouraged green activities will be accomplished.

Funds will be provided to help the community to accomplish the goals of water conservation, land stewardship, planning and designing. Whether an underfunded city, neighborhood, or private residence, the funds for these projects will be provided.

Communication will help from funds being funneled to a project twice. This will allow for more projects to be completed. Communication between all parties will also start more projects.

Challenges

Education is only as effective as the audience learning. All the conservation education will not make every person conserve. This type of education has been around for years. For example, the ‘do not litter’ campaign has been around for years. There still are litterers.

Communication between many different departments, public and private, with a variety of policies might be difficult.

The funding needs to be more streamlined.

The types of projects need to be more clearly defined. Will the center clean a river, pick up trash, or use heavy machinery to make dams? This needs to be addressed.

The college needs to make sure the students help the water conservation, not hurt it with experiment not supervised.
