University of Toronto Business and Social Exclusion in the Global South HW

/in /by

Course Description
The central purpose of this course is to offer in a broad and an interdisciplinary framework for
understanding of business and trade exchanges in the Global South. The following questions
guide the course:
1) Are business practices in the Global South done differently? If so, in what way are they done
differently?
2) In what way does social exclusion in the Global South impede the development of socially
responsible business?
3) What are the consequences of the rapidly changing and globalizing market economy for social
inclusion and exclusion in the Global South?
4) Currently, the Global South is experiencing a problem of large scale human displacement that
is generating migrants and refugees. How are these migrants and refugees included and excluded
in business?
In order to address these questions, we will focus on selected examples from different Global
South countries. Throughout the course we will examine how ordinary people in the Global South
mediate the intersecting relations of gender, race, class, ethnicity, caste, ability and age in
business.

internationally;

Globalizing World;

Psychology Stress Effects On Cognitive Functions

/in /by

Question Description

Consider the work of an air traffic controller or an emergency room physician. Both jobs require alertness, quick thinking, and sound judgment in the making of a constant stream of life-or-death decisions. This process occurs with every worker’s shift, day after day. Imagine the impact of such an ongoing responsibility on cognitive functioning.
Stress has profound effects on cognitive functions, such as decision making, occasionally altering the brain in surprising ways. Stress symptoms may lead to prominent clinical characteristics, which often go beyond anxiety and fear. Stress hormones can affect neurotransmitter systems in the brain, causing physical changes in some cases. The hippocampus, for example, can atrophy as a result of chronic stress.
For this Discussion, consider effects of stress on cognitive functions. Then think about a time when stress affected your cognitive functions.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post a brief explanation of how stress affects cognitive functions, including the roles of the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex. Then provide examples of situations when stress affected your attention, memory, problem solving, or decision making. Finally, explain how you might mitigate the effects of stress on cognitive functions.
Support your response using at least scholarly 3 references. APA Format. 2-3 paragraphs.
