Situation: <u>Walk down an ecological path in an natural park during a field-trip. </u>

According to Jean Piaget's (a Swiss psychologist widely known for his work on child development, and one of his land mark theories, <em>cognitive development theory)</em>:

  • a preoperational stage of development is characterized by the consolidation of language skills and a lacking of concrete logic thinking and also being unable to take the point of view of other people.
  • In contrast, operational stage of development, children thinking still moves in a concrete plane,  children become much more logical and sophisticated in their thinking during this stage of development and are able to draw conclusions based on <em>inductive logic, </em>which is referred to as going from a concrete experience to a principle.

This being said, going back to our situation, a child in a preoperational stage of development walking down a natural park in a field trip with his family, but will probably be more concentrated on wildllife and general surrounding than on the importance of threes as shade providers, shelter food and other ecological services.

On the other hand, children in an operational stage of development in the same situation would be able to draw conclusions based on the importance of trees and the wide variety of ecological services they offer, and infer that places like the natural park (and other smaller, less complex parks) are important means of conservations.

The media can affect us even if we are not aware that we are being influenced by it.
xxMikexx [17]
<span>The question is asking us whether it is true that the media can affect us even if we are not aware that we are being influenced by it. This is true. Think for example of smoking: if you see positive personas smoke on screen (that is, people in movies who are presented in a positive light), you might develop positive associations with smoking, even if you are not thinking about it consciously.</span>

Explain how heat from the Sun results in convection currents in the ocean
Fofino [41]
<span>The sun's energy is absorbed by the top layer of the ocean water. The water molecules spread apart, become less dense, and cause movement of water. The energy from warmer water transfers to cooler water. Note: Satellite imagery allows you to see this process. Combined with wind currents, water of different densities that is mixing can be seen on the ocean's surface in the form of ripples or swirls.
