1. Every dissertation has a theoretical foundation that governs the research being conducted. With many options available, it is imperative to begin exploring potential theoretical foundations for your dissertation study. Therefore, in this assignment you will identify theories could potentially serve as the theoretical foundation for your dissertation study.

   Directions:
   Write a paper (1,250-1,500 words) in which you identify two theories that could potentially serve as the theoretical foundation for your dissertation study. Include the following in your paper for each of the three theories you select:

   1. A description of the primary components of the theory.
   2. A research-supported discussion of common applications of the theory.
   3. A discussion of why the theory might be viable for your proposed dissertation study.
   4. A discussion of the limitations of applying the theory as a foundation for your proposed dissertation study.

for data read the question properly. Such as OECD in first question. type OECD on google and find the data.
Using data from the OECD, graph the real GDP levels for the U.S., Germany, and Canada for the past 20 years. Briefly state below your graph (on the Excel spreadsheet) if the U.S. real GDP is more closely related to that of Germany or Canada.
2) Using data from the World Health Organization, graph the health care expenditures as a percentage of GDP for the same countries since the year 2000 (in US$ per capita). Briefly state below your graph which of the two countries most closely relate to each other.
3) Using data from the World Health Organization, graph three healthcare outcomes (of your choosing) for the same countries. Briefly state below your graph which countries are achieving better outcomes (as indicated by your chosen measures) and why that may be the case.
4) For your one page summary brief, discuss the impact that changing business cycles may have on healthcare spending and health outcomes.Be as specific as possible

Learning theory holds the perspective that all behavior, including criminal behavior, is learned from a person’s surroundings. Social learning theory, a subcategory of learning theory, suggests that individuals learn by watching and imitating and by being rewarded and punished. While there are various specific learning theories, they all suggest that criminal behavior is learned.
They also hold the perspective that how and what an individual learns from his or her environment is significant. This can be illustrated by how, in some neighborhoods, illegally carrying a gun or knife is normal because of the number of individuals carrying weapons for protection, and because those who do not carry guns or knives may find themselves at a distinct disadvantage.
