 readings  described, human sexuality involves the interrelationship  of a person’s biological, psychological, and sociocultural  characteristics (e.g. the three dimensions of human sexuality). Evaluate  each of the dimensions according to their significance in your life.  what  was the course of most of your information about sexuality as you grew  up? How did your experiences with parents, teachers, and peers influence  your views of sexuality today?  

Q3

  Are you  a product of “nature” or “nurture” or maybe a little bit of both?  Describe what makes you, you. Give at least 1 example of an aspect of  your personal development that would support the notion that you are a  product of your heredity. In other words, what is it about you that  would appear to be in-born, either from what parents’ have passed down  genetically or what otherwise seems to be hard-wired in you? If you  think you’re a product of your environment, share an example that  supports that theory. Finally, if you think you’re a product of both  nature and nurture, tell us why. Make sure to support your answers with  facts from the lesson material. 

Q4

 As a sports  manager, there will be times when change in the workplace will be  necessary, whether it be a new policy or downsizing. It is the manager’s  job to keep his or her employees motivated. Due to the economy, you, as  the athletic director, recently had to inform the men’s Soccer coach  that his program at your university was being cut completely (i.e.,  dissolved). There are no immediate plans to cut any other programs, but  the Men’s and Women’s Tennis as well as Baseball and Softball coaches  are all asking you if their athletic program will be dissolved in the  near future. How would you keep these coaches motivated to continue to  recruit and train their athletes without applying for immediate  employment opportunities at other institutions? 

Q5

 

Little  Jimmy, a ten-year exchange student from China, plays first base for the  Birmingham Bluebirds in a local little league run by a small Catholic  school in Birmingham, Alabama.

Prior  to the season, Little Jimmy’s host mother signs a form provided by the  school.  Specifically, the school provided the host family with a waiver  form based off of the following document:

WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY

The  school’s secretary amended the above form to substitute the word  “Birmingham Little League” for the original “Newtown Edgmont Little  League.”

While  Little Jimmy has made a serious effort to learn the mechanics of  baseball, he continues to struggle to understand the mechanics of the  game. One day, while on deck waiting to bat, Little Jimmy’s coach  instructs him to start swinging his bat to warm up. Little Jimmy hits  another player in the head with his bat. When Little Jimmy strikes the  other player in the head, the other player’s helmet shatters on impact.  As a result of the accident, the player hit by Little Jimmy suffers  life-altering brain damage.

 The  injured player’s parents enter your law firm’s office asking your advice  on what possible legal remedies to pursue. Please make sure that you  also note what additional information that you would need to determine  the liability of any parties sued.
