Change Theories:  from 5 People:  copied from the book Because change occurs within the context of human behavior, understanding how change does (or doesn’t) occur is helpful in learning how to initiate or manage change. Five theories explain the change process from a social–psychological viewpoint. See Table 5-1 for a comparison.   Lewin (1951) proposes a force-field model, shown in Figure 5-1. He sees behavior as a dynamic balance of forces working in opposing directions within a field (such as an organization). Driving forces facilitate change because they push participants in the desired direction. Restraining forces impede change because they push participants in the opposite direction. To plan change, one must analyze these forces and shift the balance in the direction of change through a three-step process: unfreezing, moving, and refreezing. Change occurs by adding a new force, changing the direction of a force, or changing the magnitude of any one force. Basically, strategies for change are aimed at increasing driving forces, decreasing...

Question 1 Some of the notable advantages of SETI are: It helps in detecting astronomical phenomena and not only the artificial signals from extra-terrestrial sources. The universe is likely to benefit from the interstellar exchange for humans rather than for human interlocutors. SETI also signals human maturation as a species, as people guide their search strategies by both cosmocentric and intergenerational ethics. Question 2 One of the major projects of the SETI is the Galaxy Zoo: Hubble which is the latest version of the original zooniverse project. The primary goal of this project is to help astronomers figure out how galaxies form and evolve through classification of their shape. All interested parties who want to participate in this project have to run a program called SETI@ home which uses the computer when it is idle to process data and look for radio telescope signals around the world and analyze the signals for signs of intelligent life (Silvertown, 2009). Question 3 Audubon’s Christmas bird count is the...

Question 1 Despite the differences in the creation and the evolution theory, they all try to explain the origin of the earth and the life in it. While the evolution theory was developed and is provided by scientists, the creation theory is provided in the sacred books such as the Bible.  Some of the various evidence for evolution include: Ancient organism remains – mainly found by Sir Charles down, these remains show the existence of an early life in the old world. Fossil layers – fossil layers often form the sedimentary rocks. The similarities among the living organisms – this similarity are a clear indication that living organisms came from a few common ancestors and changed to adapt to their new environments(Skinner, 2015). Similarities of embryos – embryos of many different kinds of animals look very similar, and it is often difficult to tell them apart. Question 2 Various disciplines such as biology, astronomy, physics and cosmology clearly show the existence of intelligent...
