QUESTION #1: Response to a Terrorist Threat The response to a terrorist threat or incident within the U.S. must contain a highly coordinated, multi-agency (local, State, and Federal) response. In order to support this mission, a group of Federal agencies were selected to provide the core Federal response. Use the scenario below or choose your own and address the following topics: · Explain which Federal agencies are involved in a terrorist event and identify the lead Federal agency. · If it is discovered that the event is tied to a natural or man-made disaster, explain how the role of the lead Federal agency changes. List some disadvantages of this plan. Scenario There was an explosion at a loading dock in a large warehouse district: A fuel tanker at the dock exploded starting an out-of-control fire in the warehouses. The fire spread, destroying eight square blocks in a busy business and residential districts. Twenty-five workers were killed due to the explosion and two firefighters died while trying to get the fire under control. It was initially thought to be terrorist-related but soon discovered to have been an accident during the unloading of the fuel by the negligent driver. QUESTION #2: Hazards/Risks in Your Area What target might be at risk in the area where you live? If there are no targets, what natural hazards have potential to affect your area? What mitigation efforts have been taken to protect that target or prepare for that hazard? QUESTION #3: Private Entities and Local Law Enforcement/Emergency Management What private entities in your ( NEW TORK CITY) community do you see as important partners to your local law enforcement and emergency management offices? Why? QUESTION #4: Thinking About Contexts and Developmental Theories In this unit, you will explore developmental theories and the impact of context and culture in more detail. Consider the following scenario: 11-year-old Elena is excelling academically and obtaining A’s in all of her classes. She is working at an 8-th grade math level and is being assessed for the academically gifted program at school. She enjoys the academic side of school and strives to always do her best. Elena responds well to the challenging independent work activities her teacher provides for her, but has more difficulty when she is asked to work in groups as she tends to shy away and not talk much. Socially, Elena is experiencing some problems. Recently, Elena’s one close friend has found a new best friend and they now ignore or avoid Elena in school. Some of the kids in Elena’s class have started making fun of her for her wardrobe and hair style. After school Elena immediately goes home. Elena lives with her single mom and two younger brothers in a low-SES neighborhood. There is recent tension in the household as Elena is resentful in having to babysit her younger brothers after school before her mom comes home from work. This babysitting interferes with her studying, often making her study well into the night and even early morning hours to keep her grades up. Despite her academic successes at school, Elena is feeling lonely, sad, and anxious. Please respond to the following: · As you have learned, children grow up in distinct contexts - unique combinations of personal and environmental circumstances that can result in different paths of change (Berk, 2021, p. 8). These contexts can include hereditary and biological factors and various environmental factors, such home, school, neighborhood, societal values, culture, and historical time period. In considering Elena’s situation, which contexts do you believe are influencing her development? Explain. · Which developmental theory do you believe best explains Elena’s situation and why? Is this the same theory you chose in the Unit 1 discussion as the theory that best describes child and adolescent development? · If you were to combine elements of developmental theories to explain Elena’s situation, which theories would you use? What are your thoughts on using theoretical eclecticism (where concepts, elements, or characteristics of different theories are combined) with your current developmental theories? Explain if you believe this is a good idea or not. QUESTION #5 TEMPLATE ATTACHED PLEASEE SEE TEMPLATE. 1 4 Please delete all red type prior to submission and fill in with your original information.

    Theory
    Piaget
    Vygotsky’s Cognitive Development Theory
    Main Characteristics of Theory
    The main characteristics of Piaget Development Theory is the holistic development of the child which is related to process of knowing also referred as cognition
    I have selected the second theory as Vygotsky’s Cognitive Development Theory and main characteristics of this theory is that it offers importance to social interactions and exposure that child has in one life
    Domain of focus (physical, cognitive, social/emotional, or combination of several domains)
    The Domain of focus is Cognitive
    The focus of domain is peer-learning and development through social interactions
    Continuous or Discontinuous Development?
    Piaget Theory deals with continuous development of the child and how he/she builds thought process to explore the world
    Vygotsky’s Cognitive Development Theory also focuses on continuous development that comes with overall interactions
    Stance on Influence of Nature and Nurture?
    Piaget is more focused on the in-born traits rather than factors that would be influenced from environment. Hence, Piaget concentrates on the nature more than...
