  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

You want to foster the development of effective social cognition in a group of children. Which one of the following techniques is least likely to be effective?
 
  a. Create opportunities for the children to discover that people from a particular racial group are all individuals with unique characteristics.
  b. Talk to the children about what they are feeling and why; acknowledge that people can have mixed feelings.

Answer to Question 1

In addition to addressing the usual adolescent concerns (e.g., Who is the real me? What do I want to do with my life?), these adolescents must face the following challenges (the response should include at least two of these or justifiable alternatives):
 They are more likely to get negative feedback from adults and peers.
 Others' discriminatory behaviors may either overtly or subtly communicate that they are somehow inferior.
 They may have to reconcile disparate views of what is considered appropriate or normal behavior.
 Some, especially those with disabilities, may have greater difficulty achieving the successes that age-mates regularly achieve.
 They may be part of what some people consider to be an inferior group.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
