Discussion: Food Justice/Food Deserts
Discussion: Food Justice/Food Deserts
Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Reference the for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.
Food Justice/Food Deserts
The purpose of this discussion is to offer you the opportunity to debate the issue of food justice and food deserts. Food deserts are a significant issue in poorer neighborhoods in the United States. In many of these neighborhoods, the only access to food is through a local convenience store or a fast food restaurant. This severely limits the options for the poor to have access to fresh and wholesome food and has been evidenced as a key reason for the obesity epidemic in the United States. This issue is encompassed in the overarching topic of food justice, which highlights the issue of food deserts as well as public access to genetically modified foods, organic foods, and the issues of equal access for positive food options in light of public health and social inequality. Prepare and post a response to the following prompt:
Read the Hilmers article assigned this week. Assume that your town is a food desert and you would like to do something about it. Prepare an evidenced argument to present to your local town council that outlines an idea to offer healthy food options to your town. Use at least one ethical theory or perspective to support the moral or ethical reasoning for why this program should be implemented.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly sources, and properly cite any references in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7

Zoo project
INTRODUCTION: This assignment is designed to help you learn more about and
observe in real time some of the primates we have studied in our course, in this
case the chimpanzee. Besides your zoo visit, your final written report should
reflect thoughtful consideration of the assigned readings. The report will be based
on a description of the events in the chimp enclosure over period of 45 minutes
(minimum). Judge your time wisely and make sure to follow all the directions
presented below here. A total of 15 points may be earned IF you follow all
directions and present a well-prepared report (with ticket attached) by the
A. GRADING: Points will be awarded according to how your report covers the
following issues:
1. Describe enclosure and compare it to chimp natural habitat 3 points
2. Identify individual chimps as Adult Male-1; Adult Female-1; Juvenile Male-
1; Juvenile Female-1, etc. [If this is difficult, try another way to identify the
subject of your comments.] Describe at least one interaction/behavior, anything
from fast moving to just “lounging together” while grooming, etc. 5 points
3. Integrate key ideas from assigned readings* and clearly relate them to these
L.A. Zoo chimps. 5 points
4. Organize, proof read, and include a “mug shot” with admission ticket
2 points
TOTAL POINTS…15
* Required readings:
a. Review Ch. 7 (pp.167-68) and Ch. 8 (pp.180-89) for info on the primates,
in this case the chimpanzee
b. Read “The 2% Difference,” in ANNUAL EDITIONS: Physical
Anthropology 08/09 edition. See also in Discover Magazine, April 2006;
available on-line at http://discovermagazine.com/2006/apr/chimp-
genome.
ANNUAL EDITIONS (08/09)reference to the attendant. Make sure to read these selections before you go to the
Zoo.
B. KEEP IN MIND: When you walk up to any animal enclosure, the behavior
may appear to be erratic or random; maybe “nothing” is happening. However,
much of the behavior is patterned in response to a stimulus not necessarily evident
to us. Be patient. The best you can do is to carefully & accurately describe their
physical activity & note its context at the time. There is no magic bullet! Do your
best.
The Enclosure. If you include photos, do provide SHORT CAPTIONS. If you are
artistic, make a sketch of the enclosure and include it with your report. While there
is no ironclad page count for this project, please do not use pictures & drawings as
fillers! Your thoughts are paramount.
C. DRAFTING YOUR REPORT: After you have completed your observations,
go aside and carefully read over your notes. Are there any notable behavior
patterns, anything that indicates relationships, friendships, or pecking order? You
should draw on the physical characteristics of the chimpanzee provided in Ch. 8.
Integrate key information from the other required readings. Omit it and you will
lose points. Don’t fret; a good faith effort is what counts here.
D. ORGANIZING YOUR REPORT: A good report will be well organized
around the “Grading” topics. About four to five pages (double spaced) is
acceptable. This does NOT include your cover page, any photos, charts or maps.
Use one-inch margins and avoid “padding” with empty spaces between sections or
paragraphs. Most of all, sincere work and a true learning experience is what we
are after here. Your instructor’s “eagle eye” can spot the proverbial fluff and “b.s.”
Do a good job and shine!

Assignment: Psychological Properties of Motivation
Assignment: Psychological Properties of Motivation
Can two individuals be both the same and different in what motivates them? Do people with different needs, traits, and concerns know they are motivated by different things? The themes of this section are population thinking, differences between motives and traits, awareness of what is motivating, and self-concept as a motivational system. Population thinking emphasizes the notion that every person is different. Chapter 8 (Drives, Needs, and Awareness) shows people differ in the intensity of their psychological needs. Individuals with stronger psychological needs or motives are pushed harder toward satisfaction. Chapter 9 (Personality and Self in Motivation) stresses population thinking by emphasizing differences in personality traits. Trait differences explain why people are attracted or repelled by different incentives.
Permalink:
What is the motivational distinction between psychological motives and personality traits? One distinction is that motives like drives and psychological needs push behavior, whereas traits do not. Drives are created through incentive deprivation. For example, food deprivation creates a hunger drive, which pushes or motivates a person to seek, attain, and eat food. Psychological needs are persistent deficits that push an individual toward activi- ties or incentives that provide satisfaction. If left unsatisfied, needs produce psychological ill health. Thus, people are motivated from within to satisfy their needs and attain psycho- logical health. The need to belong or affiliate, for example, pushes people to join clubs, organizations, fraternities, and sororities in order to satisfy this need. Personality traits, however, determine whether incentives are valued positively or negatively. To illustrate, for the trait of extraversion, extraverts positively value and are pulled to attend large, noisy parties. Introverts, in contrast, negatively value those parties and decline to attend.
Are people aware that they are motivated by their psychological needs and personal- ity traits? Although needs and traits affect the motivation of behavior, people may not be aware of the source of that motivation. They seem to act automatically but with limited in- sight as to why. This lack of awareness may result from the fact that needs and traits are con- sidered stable and unchanging. Stable needs and traits cannot explain why the same person behaves differently at different times. However, people differ in needs and traits, and this can account for differences in their behavior.

Assignment: Psychological Properties of Motivation
Does how you view yourself in the present and in the future motivate your behavior? A person’s view of him- or herself defines self-concept, which is an organized system of knowledge about the self. Envisioned future selves may serve as positive or negative in- centives. A positive future self motivates approach behavior toward that end while a nega- tive future self motivates avoidance behavior, which is designed to prevent a negative self from happening. Self-esteem, however, refers to the outcome of an evaluation about the self. Self-esteem depends on the outcome of evaluations that occur in critical domains. Positive evaluations in important domains boost self-esteem and negative evaluations lower self-esteem.

Drives, Needs, and Awareness
By annihilating desires you annihilate the mind. Every man without passions has within him no principle of action, nor motive to act.
—Claude Adrien Helvetius, 1715–1771
Body cannot determine mind to think, neither can mind determine body to motion or rest or any state different from these, if such there be.
—Benedict de Spinoza, 1677
? The focus of this chapter is on motives—that is, the internal source of motivation. Keep that idea in mind as you consider the following questions, which introduce the contents of this chapter:
1. What are the differences among physiological needs, drives, and psychological needs?
2. What is the relationship between psychological needs and incentives?
3. Can needs be categorized and ranked for their potential to motivate behavior?
4. What are some of the major psychological needs that motivate behavior?
5. Is awareness of a need or incentive necessary before it can motivate behavior?
Drives and Needs as Internal Sources of Motivation How does one become a world renowned actor, a popular musician, a Nobel-prize winning scientist, or a gold medal-winning athlete? To reach this level of achievement, it is proba- bly necessary to be a genius, such as an acting, musical, scientific, or athletic genius. With this provision in place, one source of motivation for these achievements is the value placed on financial rewards, fame, winning, or the adoration received from others. The philoso- pher Schopenhauer (1851/1970), however, suggests that these incentives are not enough. The money may not be worth it and fame is too uncertain. In addition, the possibility that these incentives will be the result of one’s actions is vague, uncertain, and far in the future. Schopenhauer instead suggests that there are processes inside these individuals that will explain their motivation. He reasons that these individuals possess some inner force or drive that compels them toward their achievements. Schopenhauer likens this inner drive to an innate instinctual process that compels these individuals into action toward their goals as if they had no choice in the matter. This inner force is today labeled drive because it refers to
