Considerthe following: Many products, diets, and services are marketed to parents as beneficial to infant or toddler development. In order to increase sales to parents and caretakers, some companies use marketing strategies that make exaggerated, unfounded, or unrealistic claims about the effects of their product(s) on child development.
Select one claim that yoususpectto be exaggerated or false (your research may in fact show the claim has validity). Describe in detail what the advertised product, diet, or service is supposed to do. Some examples include:
Educational videos related to language developmentEffects of classical music on cognitive developmentBenefits of soy diet or organic food diet on physical and cognitive developmentService promising to teach your 18-month-old how to readAny other claim made by a manufacturer or service provider, aimed at enhancing infant or toddler developmentWritea 800 -1,050-word paper addressing the following:
What area or areas of development does the product, diet, or service claim to enhance?Use the University Library to investigate the claim. What does the published literature say about the issue you are investigating? What does the research reveal about how to promote healthy development in this area? What does this reveal about the necessity and actual benefits of the product, diet, or service?Is there any evidence to support the claim? Why or why not?Imagine that a licensed psychologist in your state publically endorsed a product with no empirical evidence supporting its claims. It was later discovered that the psychologist was receiving a percentage of money from the sale of the product to parents. Is this a violation of the APA Code of Ethics? Explain. Be sure to cite the appropriate section or sections of the Code in your response.

Assignment 2
Environmental Impacts of the Process Industries
Dr J A Scott
Given: November 15th, 2015 Due in: On or before December 8th, 2015
Select three toxic substances (one organic, one non-organic and one metallic) that can be
emitted by at least two different industrial sectors in North America (an industry sector means
automobile manufacture, energy generation, dairy products, forestry etc.). One toxic emission
must mainly impact water resources, one soils and one the atmosphere. The same sector of
industry can be used for more than one type of emission.
You cannot use sulphur dioxide (SO2) or carbon dioxide (CO2). For each of the three
substances you do select, describe and discuss (using diagrams where appropriate):
• the potential damaging/toxic effects of the emission (provide an indication of toxicity
levels, as well as where relevant both acute and chronic effects);
• the industrial process(es) that creates the emission;
• methods used by the industries involved to reduce or eliminate the emission (i.e.,
prevent its production and/or discharge into the environment).
Avoid excessive use of lists as it should be a discussion. It must be fully referenced within
the text including all pictures or diagrams used (no more than half the references should be
web pages), using the style described in the Assignment Guidelines. It should start with the
Title and then an Abstract (no more than 8 lines). These should be followed by an
Introduction and then Sections that cover all the above requirements.
Finally, include a Conclusion section that provides an overall discussion of the key points
arising from the entire report. The Conclusions should be no more than one page. Also
make sure you include at the end of the report a list of all References used in the text.
For the guide on how to use references in the text and to compile a reference list, refer to the
separate Assignment Guidelines loaded up on D2L.
On-line encyclopedias, such as Wikipedia, are not acceptable as a reference – you must
quote the original source (e.g., journal article, book, technical report, company website etc.).
Any blatant copying of other work, such as cutting and pasting of text from web pages,
will be penalized.
Please place a hard (paper) copy of your report in my mail slot in the Engineering
School Office, on or before 8th December 2015. Soft copies (e.g., email attachments)
cannot be accepted.
This assignment is worth up to 30% of the overall course assessment
