    The bill prohibits an individual from being denied access to a shared facility, including a restroom, a locker room, and a dressing room, that is in accordance with the individual’s gender identity.

    Assignment: How Products Are Perceived
    Like computers, people undergo stages of information processing in which stimuli are input and stored. Unlike computers, though, people do not passively process whatever information happens to be present. In the first place, people notice only a small number of the stimuli in the environment, simply because there are so many different ones out there vying for attention. Of those noticed, people address an even smaller number and might not process the stimuli that do enter consciousness objectively. Each individual interprets the meaning of a stimulus in a manner consistent with their own unique biases, needs, and experiences. These three stages of exposure, attention, and interpretation make up the process of perception.

  • “Looking for Love in the Stone Age: A Dating Profile of Homo neanderthalensis” Looking for Love in the Stone Age: A Dating Profile of Homo neanderthalensis Scientific name: Homo neanderthalensis, also known

    Purpose
    The goal of this activity is to creatively portray some important attributes of a major fossil hominin species.
    Task
    For this discussion, you will select one of the fossil hominins that we’ve discussed in lecture and create an online dating profile using some of their unique attributes. Get creative but make sure you include the major characteristics of the species. In your posting, remember to:
    Include the scientific name of the hominin you’ve selected (work in any nicknames we’ve discussed in a creative way in the text)
    In the profile, make sure you include a mix of morphological and behavioral traits, the time period they lived, and their geographic range (I’m looking for at minimum 5 key pieces of information about the hominin). Highlight any major moments in hominin evolution associated with your species of choice.
    You may want to think about answering these questions for your hominin:
    What are your best physical features and why?
    What are your special skills and/or favorite hobbies?
    What are you looking for in a partner?
    What is your favorite food and how do you like it prepared?

    After you make your post, respond to at least 2 classmates in character as your hominin– these responses should note shared or divergent interests.
    Your work should be your own– do not plagiarize. The tone of your post should be playful and silly but don’t write anything that would make your mother blush.
