Sometimes they are used deliberately to change our behavior in a planned way, and other times we are not even aware that our behavior is changing.· Identify a target behavior you want to modify. Maybe this is bad habit that you want to decrease the occurrence of (e.g. biting your nails) or maybe it is a behavior you want to increase (e.g. going to the gym.)· Describe how you could implement principles of Operant Conditioning to modify your behavior and produce the desired outcome. Identify how you could use at least two of the four consequences (positive reinforcement, positive punishment, negative reinforcement, and negative punishment) and explain which you think would be most effective. These should be consequences you can implement yourself or with the help of family/friends. Avoid simply labeling naturally occurring consequences (e.g. losing weight from working out), and instead focus on consequences you can control and implement following the behavior.· Make sure you understand these consequences FIRST by reading CH 5 and reviewing the CH. 5 Learning PowerPoint. Points will be deducted for inaccurate information (see rubric for point details)· Give specific examples to illustrate what you plan to do.· DO IT!! Try to carry out at least one of the consequences you selected for at least 3 days. The longer you can do it the better. Remember, consequences are implemented after a behavior, so after doing the behavior you want to modify you should immediately implement one of the consequences you discussed.· You need to actually implement the consequence you selected during this module to attempt to modify your behavior. DO NOT just label a behavior or consequences from the past.· Reflect on your findings. Did the reinforcement or punishment work? How challenging was it to apply the consequence? If it didn’t work, why do you think it was unsuccessful?

Next, carefully study and review the section titled “Approaches to Measuring Technological Progress.” Use your own words to write a short compare-and-contrast essay that defines and explains three distinct perspectives on the evolution of technology. As you write, imagine you are talking to a friend who has no knowledge of this topic. In short, write the way you speak, using a conversational tone. Also, try to alternate short sentences and longer sentences to make your writing more readable. Be sure to create a title and cite yourself as the author. For example: A Comparison of Three Perspectives on the Evolution of Technology Mei Quoran Your essay should include five paragraphs, as follows: Paragraph 1 is your lead paragraph. It will contain an overview of what you have to say in comparing and contrasting the perspectives of Gerhard Lenski, Leslie White, and Alvin Toffler with respect to the evolution of technology. Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4, are your body paragraphs. In your essay, use paragraph 2 to describe the perspective of Gerhard Lenski. In paragraph 3, you’ll write about the perspective of Leslie White. In paragraph 4, you’ll describe and discuss the perspective of Alvin Toffler. Paragraph 5 is your summary and conclusion. Here, you’ll compare the three perspectives to show how they are, or may be, similar. You’ll contrast the three perspectives to describe how they’re different. You’ll end this process–and your essay–by expressing your view as to which of these theorists (one or more) offer the most useful insights into the evolution of technology, in your opinion. It’s permissible to use direct quotes from your reading, but don’t use too many. One to three such quotes should be your limit. Be sure to put a direct quote in quotation marks. For example: According to Smith, “Carbon dioxide is both our friend and our enemy.” Begin by writing a first draft. Then, edit and rework your material to make it clear and concise. After you have reached a final draft, proofread the essay one last time to locate and correct grammar and spelling errors.
