Phillip has been preparing to give the valedictorian speech at his high school since mid-February. He has a fear of public speak

ing that began in elementary school when he forgot a speech when he was running for student council president. He has been working with the drama teacher at the school to overcome this fear. As graduation approaches, he has started to have difficulty sleeping and has lost his appetite. He has worked hard to earn the opportunity and does think his message of finding his way as a child of immigrants and divorce is important.

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

• Phobia: This is an irrational fear of a particular thing. In this case, Philip has a fear for public speaking.

• Sympathetic nervous system: When a stressful situation occurs, the sympathetic nervous system responds to such situation as there's a boost is the alertness of ones body. Based on the question, Philip started to have difficulty sleeping and has lost his appetite which is how the sympathetic nervous system reacted.

• Intrinsic motivation: This is when an individual does something without expecting any reward. It comes from within and it's not externally motivated. The intrinsic motivation here is that he has been working with the drama teacher at the school to overcome this fear.

• Positive reinforcement: This simply means making q particular behavior more likely to occur in the future as a result of the fact that something desirable is added after the behavior occurs in order to make it happen again.

• Extraversion: This shows how social and outgoing an individual is. Someone who has a high score in extraversion is very social and outgoing. In this case, Philip will score low as he really isn't social which is why he has a fear of public speaking.

• Altruism: This is when something is done for the benefit of others or in order to promote the welfare of someone else.

• Elaborative rehearsal: This is a technique whereby the thoughts and ideas that are stored in the short-term memory is passed later into the long term memory.

Write A Story Using The Words : prediction, connotation, primary source, personification and chronological.
sergiy2304 [10]
<span><span>Words used: prediction, connotation, primary source, personification and chronological</span>

A Story about history, and how it affected us….Before 2012, many people believed that the year 2012 was going to be the end of the world. This prediction was based off of the Mayan Calendar, a primary source of its own, made at ~August 11, 3114 BC. Why is this a primary source? Because the Mayans themselves made the calendar, and based everything off of it. However, rest assure, because the world didn’t end yet. (obviously, because its like what 2017 right now [delete this ()]). Many people believed this to be true, and thousands of people rushed to get ready for this ‘end of the world’. They bought food and water in large quantities (and with their life savings) and waited out in underground shelters. The connotation of the phrase “end of the world” scares many. They never want to think of what or where the world is going, and the end of the world. Instead, they look towards the past, and try to learn lessons from the past so that they do not make the same mistakes today, because if the same mistakes happen today, well, you never know where the world will lead to tomorrow. How do they look towards the past? Well, they do NOT take bits and pieces from different timezones randomly. Instead, researchers try to find history that actually has an effect on today or tomorrow. Take for example, the world wars. People go in chronological order from even before the start of the war to a little after it, to learn of the reasons the war started, what happened during the war, and the consequences of fighting the war, and how it affects people. After that, many people would write nonfiction and fictional stories about it, sometimes adding personification to animals that “viewed” the battle while it was going on. An example of this, is “War Horse”, by Michael Morpurgo, in which a horse by the name of Joey, is given a personification, and tells us of an experience a horse had in real-life history (from a farm animal to a animal that survived WW1). With all of this information that is given to us from history, both the problems, and the resolution, it is up to us to learn what is best for our current situation, and to not make the same mistakes again. <span>

Dubai creek and Khor Fakkan creek are UAE's tangible heritage. Agree or Disagree. Why? Explain your answer.
asambeis [7]
Khor Dubai (Dubai Creek in English) is a natural seawater inlet of the Arabian Gulf located in the heart of Dubai with 14 kilometres length and between 100-500 meters width that runs South-East and ends at Ras Al-Khor wildlife Sanctuary. The creek divides the city into two parts: Bur Dubai and Deira, and has played a major role in the economic development of the region throughout history.
The first recorded reference to Dubai dates back to 1587, when the Venetian pearl merchant Gaspero Balbi visited the area and wrote of Dubai’s pearling industry. However, the earliest known description of Dubai Creek is found in an 1822 report by a British Royal Navy officer. The creek was likely the actual raison d’être of Dubai’s creation and early development as a trading port; the start point for which could perhaps be taken as 1833, when some 800 members of the Bani Yas tribe, led by Sheikh Maktoum bin Buti Al-Falasi, settled in the Bur Dubai area, at the mouth of the creek.

Answer:

Brain

Explanation:

The brain is an important part of the body of a person. The brain is the largest and complex part of the human body. The human brain is made up of many neurons that communicate through the synapse. The above statement indicated that Janice when she was young engaged in many tasks at one time.

But now she is old around 55 years old, due to the aging effect she reduced her attention and concentration. She reduced her memory. Due to the aging effect, she is not able to concentrate on multiple tasks at one time. Thus when she was young she was able to concentrate on many tasks but in her older age, she is not able because of the aging effect.
