How is the reading related to other theories, concepts, themes, and topics covered in HSBE (503/505)?
The reading relates to all the different psychological theories that are available for one to study. For example, a person can learn about Jean Piaget, Lawrence Kohlberg and Abraham Maslow. This helps someone to understand that these are crucial times in children's lives as they grow up and become adults. They need to know that they are nurtured and loved in order to make a difference in society when each of them becomes older (Hartshorne, 2010). Furthermore, the birth order of those that are the first born are considered independent and over protective of their siblings; whereas, the middle child is considered the person who is creative (Kluger, The power of birth order, 2007). The baby is the one who gets anything and everything he or she wants because of becoming the last born in the family (Child Development Info, 2010).

Lastly, what is your overall evaluation of the reading? What are its strengths and weaknesses in terms of helping social work practitioners better understand human behavior and the social environment?
My overall evaluation of the reading was that it was highly educational. I had no idea that siblings impacted each other as much as I thought until reading this article. By looking at the evidence presented, one can easily decipher that this is scholarly, and more investigation is needed in order to find out the effects of sibling rivalry, or any other aspect of this particular topic. I highly recommend it for future use in those chosen field, especially for that of social work.

Furthermore, the manuscript used a number of studies to illustrate each point. This made the basis of the article stronger than if there was only one source. However, the weakness is that the information may have changed, especially since it was written five years ago. By now, the data may have changed because of having more research done on this particular topic. Another feebleness is that the article could have become at least five or six separate ones, and if the author considered this, then they could have made more of an income off of it by using more than one publisher, or the option of selling the work on their own terms. Regardless, the fortes far outweigh the flaws, and this article had a plethora of information that anyone would benefit from in any chosen discipline. This makes one want to learn more based off what was provided from over the years, which makes it all worth it.

Krauss and Morsella say that under the dialogic paradigm individual speakers act with respect to the individuals they are addressing, but they are acting as individual entities (p. 152). This is because we can only attempt to understand the mind of others, to decode their words, even their body language, and try to put that into a perspective of meaning to us as individuals. Krauss and Morsella provide points on
Difficult Patients Mitigating Risks from Dementia Providing adequate care for an individual suffering from dementia presents many difficulties for nurses. Patients with dementia often have debilitating conditions such as Alzheimer's or similar neurologic diseases which are progressive, thereby making it challenging for them to remember, think lucidly, communicate effectively or complete activities of daily living. Furthermore, dementia can cause rapid variations in mood or even modify personality and behavior. With the

Although the research tools provided by the ISO 14001 framework are both qualitative and quantitative, this approach is consistent with the guidance provided by Neuman (2003) who points out that, "Both qualitative and quantitative research use several specific research techniques (e.g., survey, interview, and historical analysis), yet there is much overlap between the type of data and the style of research. Most qualitative-style researchers examine qualitative data and vice
Hyperlinked tables of contents and indexes are tremendous time-savers as well as navigational aides. The non-linear presentation of digital texts appeals to learners adept at spatial relations, or those who appreciate metaphors. Hypertext allows learners to create and understand conceptual links between current course material and new or prior knowledge. The multimedia presentation of digital text appeals to learners who rely on multiple senses including sight and hearing. Many students
