13.  The assertive refusal skill is most effective because. . .

You respect the rights and beliefs of the other person and yourself but you stand your ground and be firm in positive ways. [M.H. 3rd]

   If someone comes up to you and asks you if you want beer you should say, " You know, I don't think that would be a very good choice. If you want to go drink then go right ahead, I don't think thats the right decision, but i cant make your choices for you and I don't want to." [M.G. 3rd] 

 14.  If someone was continuously harassing you either verbally, sexually, or physically, the best way to handle it would be to. . .

  If someone was harrassing me what I would do is be asertive or physically hurt the person.Like for example if a 40 year old guy comes out of no where and asks you a question like "Do you want to come to my place little boy?" Then yes you are being harrased.So either be asertive,or run,or even go get help.(R.H 3rd)

If someonewas harrassing me I would tell the person to back of, yell, sream to what ever I can to get away.For example if some one from my school keep asking me the same question over and over again and wouldn't stop falling me, I would be asertive to get the teacher attention any way possible to get the guy away from me.(C.K 3rd)

Actually the best way to handle it would be to use the "I statement format" as a legal document by adding your signature and date to the I feel____ when you ____.  I want you to ______.

 The best way to handle a situation is to use the 'I' statement:I feel         when you        .In this instance you would put used and take advantage of me in those blanks. The next statement, I wish/hope(which you use if it's a one time thing) and need/want(if it has happened before)          . In this statement, you could put i want you to stop taking advantage of me so much. If you use this format, then the person will understand how you feel, and will stop taking advantage of you. (K.M.3rd)

 16.  What is the best example (one person for each trait) of someone in real life who exhibits the character trait of; trust, fairness, caring, responsibility, citizenship, and respect.

 Someone who I can always trust is my brother, because he always looks out for me and when I ask him a to do something for me he always does it. So he is one person I can always count on and trust. A judge is a fair person because he or she looks at both sides of an issue and determines the best way to resolve an issue.My mom is caring because she looks after me and cares for my education and my learning.  One of my friends is a very responsible person because he always tells the truth and he always accepts responsibility for his actions like when he got in trouble, he did not lie and he told the truth. My dad is a very good citizen because he follows the law and upholds them. He also votes when ever he gets the chance. I think teachers are respectful because they do not discriminate against any of their students for being of a different race, gender,religion or school of thought.[CR 3rd]

Someone who I can always trust is all three of my older brothers, because they are always there when I need them and they help me out. One of my friends is a very fair person, whenever there is a fight, she doesn't talk bad about one side with the other and figures out the best way to resolve the fight. My parents are very caring because they make sure I am doing what I am suppose to, and they make sure I eat meals, brush my teeth, and do what I am suppose to. I have another friend who is really responsible and when she calls her Mom to come over after school, she tells the truth when her parents ask if she has done her homework or feed the dogs. I have another friend who is a very good citizen because she doesn't litter, she doesnt graffiti, she doesnt drink or smoke, and recycles and does what she can. My teachers, coaches, and parents are all respectful because they are helpful to me. They teach me how to divide decimals, shoot a better shot, and how to fill out a check. (S.S. 3rd)

 17.  What is the value in setting and achieving goals?  How does this impact the quality of a person’s life?

The value in setting and acheiving goals is that they change or improve your behaviors in a great way. They impact the overall quality of a persons life by helping build self confidence, responcibility, and good overall health. (C.T. 3rd period)

When you set a goal it gives you something to look forward to obtaining even if it takes a couple of years or aa couple of days. When you do achieve that goal it raises your self confidence to a greate level. (WT 3rd)

18.  What are the steps for setting a goal?        First you have to think about what you would like to accomplish. Then you have to create an action plan or a multistep strategy to identify and achive your goal. Then you have to go and accomplish it. (L.W 3rd)

19.    What “Health Skills” were presented in this Chapter?

Some Health Skills that were presented in this chapter interpersonal communication which includes clearly saying what you mean, paying attention to how you say something, and being a good listener.It also teaches about refusal skills, conflict resolution skills, and also how to handle stress.  The decision-making process is an important health skill that helps you make good decisions that improve your health.  It is important to set goals for yourself so that you have something specific to work for.  Demonstrating character is a health skill that not only improves your overall health but the people's health around you [W.B. 3rd]

 20.  A critical thinker has the ability to do what in regards to their health?

 A critical thinker is a person who can develop evaluation criteria for health information before making a decision and who knows how to make responsible, healthy choices. For example, the lifestyle factor of getting 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night. A critical thinker would take that and try to get in the habbit of getting more sleep to help their overall health. They have the choice to stay up late, but they would make the responsible healthy decision to get some sleep.

[JB 4th]& [A.C. 4th]

care of your body by eating nutricious foods and keeping physically active.

22.  When evaluating health information on the internet, what should you look for?

You should look for publications from professional health organizations or websites from universities and government agencies. For example you could use websites such as the American Medical Association or the American Heart Association. [P.L. 4th]

23.  When evaluating health information in print such as the newspaper, and magazines what should you look for?

   You should look for who wrote the article that you happen to be reading about. You should als look for when published because more information on your article could have happened and you would want to be informed. C.M. 4th

 24.  When interviewing a health professional what credentials should you look for that would support the validity of their statements?

These are some reliable sourses of health information to check the validity of a health professional's statements with.: 1) parents, gaurdians, and other trusted adults 2) library resources (encyclopedias and nonfiction books on science, medicine, nutrition,and fitness) 3) reliable Internet sites (like those posted by the government and educational institutions) 4) newspaper and magazine articles by health professionals or experts 5) government agencies, health care providers, and health organizations [SM 4th]

   You should see where he got an education and what his degree is in, the professional needs to have refrences, the proffesioanl should keep his office clean and sanitary, and he or she needs to have good partners or assitants with there degree and refrences.[MF 8th]

   You should check out his education background and his degree, how many years he has been in buisness and how many clients go see the professional. (K.M. 4th period!)

A real life example are tv commercials that make people think that if they use a paticular product such as shampoo or cologne or deodorant or body wash that they will be more attractive. Then they will buy there product to make them feel good about them selves.[D.W 4th] [What real life examples do you have of this?? Miss Bass]

Companies always try to take advantage of peoples insecurities. An example would be  a hair company targeting teens a lot more than adults because they know that teens are more insecure than adults. most people don't know this but they should because insecurity leads to carelesness and for another example, if someone was insecure about their looks then they would buy anything to make them look pretty. And companies know this. [P.T. 4th]

 27.  Give real life examples of how a advertisement uses the rich and famous “star power”.

(J.W. 4th)Famous people use there power of fame on billboards and commercials to get you to buy overpriced junk, worthless helth products and tacky clothing.

Many ad companies utilize well known "stars" to promote a product. For example, the "Got Milk?" promo which is seen on bill boards, T.V. commercials, and in magazines features famous people with a white milk moustache creating the desire of anyone who sees it to drink milk. Another example of "star power" is the pro golfer, Tiger Woods who has a long term contract to wear Nike apparel. He is seen in every interview, golf tournament, and T.V. commercial promoting Nike products, hence swaying the public that Nike is the best! (B.W. 4th)

28.  Give a real life example of how a advertisement can be misleading.

One Commercial on T.V. that i think is very missleading is the Bowflex commercials how they say the people lost 28 pounds in two weeks and it shows a pro body builder saying "I'm not afraid to take my shirt off any more. [W.H. 4th]

[L.G.5th edit]

Advertisers may make exaggerated claims to try to persuade you to buy a product. They also might mislead you into thinking something that is not true. For Example, you see a commercial for a shoe and in it the person wearing the shoe wins the race. You might be mislead into thinking that you must be wearing their shoe to win the race.[G.W.4th]

29.  Is there such a thing as a warranty for an I-Pod, and if so, what does that warranty cover?   Warranty is a company's or a store's written agreement to repair a product or refund your money should the product not function properly. You should always read the entire warranty for a product including the fine print and always make sure that you understand the terms. Ipods do have warranties but they are extremly strict about them. The warranties cover only some aspects of it products or its use. Such as, it must be an Apple hardware, and Apple is not responsible for any physical damage arising from failure to follow instructions. For example, when the Ipod Mini's came out, they came with a years worth of warranty but after that year goes by your on thin ice and you better take care of it!!  [W.C. 5th] & [L.B. 5th]

 30.  Who monitors the safety of electrical appliances?

My elctricity service provider should monitor the activity of my electronics but an inspector should come every 1to4 years to make sure everything is still safe. I think that it it is important that I make sure that all my house appliances are still running safe and sound because if they don't it could cause an accident to happen causing fatel injury or even death, so i think that my electrical appliances should be monitered peroitilicy by the UL and by my servise provider.

The UL(underwriter labertory) is a public safety servise that makes sure that my appliances are running safe and sound. Along with my servise provider the UL should also be monerting my appliances safety.

[L.G]5th       [J.G.]5th

The worst part about shopping online is that the internet can only describe and provide limited information about a product, and you can only view a picture of an item. You can't actually try it on or examine it before you buy it. [D.H. 5th]

The worst part of shopping online is that
if you’re not on a secure site, someone can have access to your credit card
information, and your ididntity can be stolen. If someone steals your information
then they can buy things themselves with your card and you get the bill. Also
some things may be broken while shipping, or the shipping price can be high and
you can lose money by shipping it than just getting it at a local store. [M.H. 5th]

When
you are not sure if you are getting the best medical treatment that you
think that you can get. You should go to another health care
professional for a second opinion.

[E.L.
3rd] It never hurts to get a second check and if the doctor says
something you dont agree with you should get a 2nd opinion. Ecspecilly
if it is a really serious matter. It can't hurt(D.H. 3rd)

33.  Find an example of health fraud that has been committed in our society.

   Health fraud it when someone lies about a product or service to make money or some form of benificiary gain. An example of health fraud occured this July when the Nevada Health Care Network suddenly became unable to communicate to. Credit cards of former patients were still being charged for monthly bills that didn't even exist. Frustrated customers tried phone numbers, the former e-mail adress of the company that had already been cancled, and visited a website taken offline. Customers even visited the emptied offices of the company. The Nevada Health Care Network had previously sold exteremly discounted prices on health care that was later found to be useless. Health fraud is a horrible example of injustice in our society. This is why to make my health the best it can be, I need to have a doctor and pharmicist that I can trust.  [O.L. 5th]  [W.M. 5th]

34.  If you had a problem or complaint about a product or service, who should you report your complaint to other than the company you are camplaining about?You can use this skill in everyday life. If you buy a product that doen't fufill its standards, then you have a right to report it. You should report it to the store you bought it at also. I have seen people walk into CVS and complain about teeth whitening strips that they aren't happy with. This has probably happened to you too. [O.M. 5]

 

In your written complaint you should include the following items to make it effective:

• the date you bought or repaired the faulty product
• what you bought
• where you bought it
• what the problem is with the product
• stating what you want/exchange repair
• should include receipts and other documents
• a time limit for the resolution
• and should contain contact information                                                                                                                                   This would make your complaint more valid and improves your argument for why you want the product exchanged, repaired, compensated, etc. I bought a pair of shoes off of the Nordstrom website and when I received them, they were ripped and scuffed. In my complaint I included my receipt to prove that I had bought the shoes, the date I bought them so they knew I had just received them, I stated my problem with the shoes and where I purchased them, a time limit for the latest that they could contact me before I took any type of legal action, and my contact information so that they could reach me. By including these items in my complaint, I gave the company no excuse for why they could not understand what I wanted, what happened with the shoes, they couldn't question my evidence (receipts, other documents), and they couldn't say they didn't know where to contact me. By providing all of the information, I was insuring that received all of my rights as a consumer. [N.R 5th] & [C.S. 5th]

36.  What is malpractice? Any improper, negligent practice; misconduct or misuse. For example in real life underage drinking is a misconduct because underage drinking is illegal and underage drinkers tend to be alchoholics when they grow up. This can be bad because once the teenagers are  parents or  gardians and are still coming home drunk every night, their kids might think its ok to drink underage because their dad or mom did and are still drinking. Then the teenagers might start which could be a never ending chain of underage drinkers. That would fall under the catagorie because it a is a malpractice. (T.S. 5th) & (W.S. 5th)

(Extra: Malpractice can also refer to a doctor who is negiglent. B.S. 8th

37.  Find a case in our society in which malpractice has been committed.

Malpractice is when a health professional fails to meet accepted standards

For example, say your parents, little sister, or even yourself are going in for your Doctor's Checkup with Dr. Smith. He decided that he wasn't in the mood to give your mom her tetanus shot, even though your mom was due for one, but Dr. Smith doesn't mention it. Then a few weeks later, you mom is walking around barefoot in the garage and steps on a rusty nail. She would clean up the cut and not think too much about it afterwards because since Dr. Smith didn't mention it, then your mom should be up to date for tetanus. A few days later, when your mom becomes sick and is tested positive with tetanus symptoms, they will know that Dr. Smith was guilty of malpractice. [S.S. and T.S. 5th]

38.  What are small claims courts used for in our society?

small claims courts are used for civil cases dealing with amounts of money under a certain limit (M.U. 5th)  

Small claims courts are state courts that handle legal disputes involving amounts of money below a certain limit. The consumer and merchant present their case to a judge, who then makes a decision. [K.T. 5th]

39.  What does AQI stand for?

AQI stands for Air Quality Index. This is and index that reports the daily air quality.        (I.W. 5th)

AQI is important to us becuase it helps us make healthy choices in outdoor activities. People with asthma use it becuase it gives them a "health update". People with asthma shouldn't go outside if the index is above an orange rating. This is so because they need to be careful. This exlpination is the same with small children. I am glad that we have this so that we can be safe and healthy in our world.(S.K.W. 5th)

               The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) [E.W. 5th]

The Air quality standards give people the vital information of what pollutants effect our communities the most today. (Ozone, Particulate matter, Carbon Monoxide, Sulfur Dioxide, and Nitrogen Oxides) It also tells citizens what effects these pollutants can have on people, and there communities. For example, Susie's mom looks at the air quality index to try and find what has been agravating susies asthma, and lerns that particulate matter is probably causing this aggravation, since it is known to agravate asthma. The index also tells citzens what the main sources of these pollutants are, implying the reader to try and cut down on these sources, and encourage others to do the same. For example, Susie's mom reduces her car use  because she knows vehicle exhaust is a source of this pollution, and encourages her friends to do the same for susies sake. [J.Y. 5th]

 43.  Which air pollutant is linked to aggravated asthma, chronic branchitis, decreased lung function, and premature death?

   Particulat MAtter or PM is linked to aggravated asthma, chronic branchitis, decreased lung function, and premature death. A way to prevent PM is by cutting down on car use and carpooling. It comes ffrom different things in the air such as dust or mold.[MF 8th]

   Particular Mater can is known to cause aggravated asthma,bronchitis,decrease in lung function, and early death. It can come from cars or other vehichles that burn gasoline. It also can come from kinds of compressed wood and furniture. To cut down on the matter simply buy clean air furniture and drive less by carpooling or riding a bike. [DC 8th]

Very little to none of the population.

Level Green is the lowest level of risk, so not many people would react to the air in this state. Some people might have allergies from natural things such as pollen. My mom, for example, has allergies from dog hair and spring plants, but it could be a level green day and other people wouldn't suffer. In conclusion, level Green does not affect most people.

(A.H.- 8th)

If you have asthma you would be effected on an slightly if it's an orange day, but if it's red, you will start having breathing problems because the air is so heavy with pollutants. [C.H.8]

One way to apply this would be if you have asthma and it is a red you should refrain from hard play, or stay indoors, and if it is orange, you just have to take it easy outside. That's the best I can do. [S.J.8]

Two indoor pollutants are asbestos and gas using items. Asbestos is an old type of insultating material but some old houses may still contain it. gas using items are things like stoves and furnaces. [W.K. 8th] [B.L. 8th]   

85 or more decibles, such as, if I put my ipod music into my ears at 95 decibals, that would be severly damaging my ears! {ML 8th}

49.  Give an example of a hazardous waste that permeiated the area in New York around "ground zero" after the 9/11 bombing. 

There was lots of particulate matter in the air. In fact, thousands of tons of toxic debris was in the air with more then 2500 contaminates in it. Many of the substances in the air (ex: lead, cadmium, etc.) could deteriorate organs such as the kidney, heart, and liver. Also the air contained lots of glass and other fibers, cellulose, asbestos, lead, and mercury. Many people who breathed in the air (after the EPA incorrectly announced it was safe to go out) got lung diseases and disorders. [E.O 8th]

There was a ton of Radon in the air when the two towers came down. Radon is an odorless, radioactive gas. When the firefighters went in to find servivors, they were breathing in  terrible  toxic wasts in the air. The EPA said that it was ok to go outside when it really wasn't. Alot of people, especially the rescuers, got lung cancer and faced many disorders. [E.A.M 8th]

50.  Give an example of a waste product that is biodegradable.

   Biodegradable materials are materials that are able to be broken down by microorganisms in the environment. This means that the waste will decompose and become part of the earth. Some biodegradable materials include paper, food, and lawn wastes. However, if you think you can just throw your trash out of the window, you're wrong. If too much waste is discarded and one time, and nature can't handle the overload, other ways of disposing must be found. This holds true for materials that aren't biodegradable, as well. For example, when my brother and I rake the leaves in our front yard, we bag them in brown, paper bags. The bags and leaves are biodegradable, therefore they will decompose, and become part of the soil. [A.R. 8th] 

        Paper, food, and wood are examples of a product that is biodegradable, meaning that the waste is able to be broken down by microorganisms in the enviroment.

       Many of these biodegradeble materials can be found in landfills all over the states.

                                                                                           [B.S. 8th] [A.R. 8th]

Sidenote: If those products are in large quantities (in landfills), it can be too much for nature to break down because there is little oxygen and moisture in the landfills once they have closed(slowing the process).

                                                                                                                                                                                                  [B.S. 8th]

51.  How does precycling and recycling help us in concerving our natural resources?

Precycling (reducing the amount of waste before it is produced) and recycling (the processing of used materials so that it may be used again) help conserve our natural resources and reduces our reliance on landfills.  Doing things such as purchasing items in bulk and using cloth napkins instead of paper ones are examples of precycling.  Since doing these things reduces the amount you need to buy and therefore the amount that needs to be produced in factories it saves our natural resources.  Things that can be recycled are aluminum, cardboard, glass, plastics, newspapers and glossy papers.  Recycling produces the same results as precycling but through a different way. [A.S. 8th]

 {Application] My sister is really big into the saving the enviornment. When she shops she uses cloth shopping bags and she uses cloth diapers when she changes her new baby to precycle. She also recycles newspapers, cardboard, and plastics. [A.T. 8]

Precycling is when you help reduce waste products before it is generated. Recycling is processing of waste materials so they can be used again in a different manner. Both are ways to reduce waste in the environment. People can precycle by using cloth napkins instead of paper napkins or buying things in a large packet instead of indivisual little packets. When you're using cloth napkins you can re-use it instead of using paper napkins and throwing them away. Buying a large packet can also help the earth by not wasting more material for packaging. When you are recycling you should always look out for materials like aluminum, cardboard, glass, plastics, newspapers, and glossy papers to recycle. Recycling is a very easy task that anybody could do. After drinking a can of Coke you can just walk by to the recycling bin and recycle. Always remember that if you do buy bigger packages that they to are recycable so in turn you are doing two things to help the enviorment. Everybody should do simple errands to help make the earth a more healthier place. [C.T. 8th] [L.W. 8th]

               A student that sits next to you in class ends up having to ask you to borrow something (paper, pen, pencil, textbooks etc.) everyday in class because they simply do not bring their materials and have come to rely on you.  This behavior is really getting old, and you are starting to resent them for not taking responsibility.  How would you resolve this conflict?

To resolve the conflict I would use an I satement. The I statement that I would use would be "I feel annoyed when everyday I have to lend you my school supplies. I wish that you could remember to bring all of your supplies to class". Hopefully they would listen to what I said and remember to bring their own supplies to class. [P.W. 8th period]

To end this conflict you should use the following I statement or one like it. I feel bad when you keep asking me to borrow supplies for class. It makes me feel that you are slacking off and taking advantage of me. I need you to get your own supplies so that you can be organized and not waste my time during class. [A.W. 8th]

You type what they have done to you and print it and sign it. It is now a legal documant wich you must have them sign. If the do not take you seriously and refuse to sign it you do the same thing and sign your document again only this time you go to the priniple and get him or her to sign it. C.W. 8th     

acurace-After using the I statment and if it dose not work. You should wright on a pice of paper what the problem is and what you want to be done to solve problem in the I satment format and sighn it and date it. Then have the person who is causing the problem to sighn the pice of paper and date it . make a copie and give it to the person. If still the problem is not solved take teh copei and give it to the admistrater.

 aplication- I fell uncomertable when you use sexual statment abought and i need you to stop.

[D.W. 8th] 

(Extra: you must also date the document. B.S. 8th)

If a friend asked to cheat off you, the appropriate phrases to begin the sentence with would be with either "I want" or "I need". An example of what you could do to set a boundary would be to say the following to your friend, "I want you to be able to answer these questions on your own from now on, or otherwise you will not be able to succeed in the future. I need you to stop asking me for all the answers." Using the correct words is very significant in a situation like this, because if you use request words such as wish or hope, your friend may not take what you said very seriously. An example of where this could occur in real life is if I were going to take a college entrance exam and the person sitting next to me whispered, "What's the answer to number 23?", then that would be a time where setting a boundary is necessary. [J.Y. 8th]

   Also you would want to say how you feel about your friend asking you to let her cheat off you. For example, you might say, "I feel uncomfortable when you ask me to help you cheat, and I need you not to ask me to cheat." [A.S. 8th extra]

57.  How could you use the "I statement format" to make a request to your parents? 

You could say I feel unwanted when you yell at me and tell me that you can't deal with me. I wish you could say it calmly and tell me in a nice way that your busy at that moment.

If you have that temptation to yell and make someone feel bad, think before you say it and always think of the other persons feelings. This falls under the catagory of Interpersonal Skills. Always tell someone how to you feel and clearly say it, use a respectful tone so the other person doesn't feel like they have to yell at you and listen to the other persons promblems and compromise with eachother.

1.  What are the three elements of health?

The three elements of health are physical, mental, and social. 

Physical is being active for at least 20 minutes each day for at least 3 days a week.  You can participate in activities after school such as football or dance.

Social is talking to your friends and participate in extra curricular ativities like clubs. 

Mental is not only doing well in school, but also making real- life decisions.  These everyday decisions can affect you for the rest of youre life, so you have to be careful and considerate in all of your decisions.

 I think the three elements of health relate to each other when one becomes hurt or more important. An example would be when you mess up in school really badly(mental), which would make you care more about that certain aspect, because it is what you care about more. This will throw off your focus of the other two aspects, in turn hurting them too. In this way when one aspect messes up, both of the other ones mess up too, so that is an example of how they inter-relate. [D.B. and T.B.-1st]

An example would be if you are sociable, talk to more people, and have lots of friends at school you will be emotionally stronger and more confident. Since you are confident and sociable you would try to do more exra-curricular activites such as trying out for a team. Playing football makes you work out and stay fit. When you have confidence in yourself mentally you can go out on the football field and play in front of hundreds of people. Being on a team means you have to communicate with each other. This example uses all of the 3 elements of health; social, mental, and physical. [C.T. 8th EXTRA]

3.Why it is necessary to have a guide to follow when making important decisions.

It is important to have a guide so that you make sure you know what all you options are and you make the choice that is the most responsible so you ar esure that the choice you make can't come back to haunt you in the long run. Also you have planned out how you will respond if someone asks you a question so you make the right choice. (passive, assertive, aggressive, etc.)[M.C,W.C 1st]

If you are making an important decision, it could negatively affect your life if the decision is not thought out well. Having a guide to make sure you thought of all possible outcomes is important so you know you made the right decision.[E.O. 8th EXTRA]

It's important to have steps or a guide to help you make an important dcision because it can help you organize your thoughts more and make you think about the critical parts of the decision making process.For example, if you were trying to make a decison on whether you should smoke or not and didnt consider the major health problems, you would have to face very negative con
