Consider your work environment, domain of interest, or everyday life, and identify two variables that are positively correlated and two variables that are negatively correlated. Explain why your correlation examples are positive and negative. Review a peer example, and discuss areas of difference.
Please include the name of the person or question to which you are replying in the subject line. For example, “Tom’s response to Susan’s comment.”
Friendly reminder to begin your Discussion Initial Post as early in the week as possible. Waiting till the end of the Unit sacrifices your learning, sharing and communication with one another.
Kindly address the discussion question(s) submitting a reflective response. Reflective defined is characterized by or manifesting careful thought : a thoughtful essay. occupied with or given to thought ; contemplative; meditative; reflective: in a thoughtful mood, careful, heedful, or mindful.

JESSICA:
There are various examples of variables that a person can observe in daily life, and while some of them are positively correlated, others are negatively correlated. Correlation acts as a representative of the relationship that two variables have (Weaver et al., 2017). Two of the variables that I perceive to have a positive correlation include a day’s temperature and the number of individuals that purchase ice cream. I often observe that whenever the day’s temperature is above average, the number of people who purchase ice cream also increases. On the other hand, when temperatures are cooler than average, it would be quite rare to find a person buying ice cream.
Some of the variables that I have observed having a negative correlation include the number of hours I work and my ability to socialize with people close to me. By evaluating the relationships that different variables have, it is possible for one to provide answers to hypotheses through experiments (Creswell & Creswell, 2018). Thus, I can hypothesize that the longer the time I spend working, the probability of socializing with friends reduces and evaluate the same through an experiment.
Even without conducting an experiment, I can ascertain that the two identified variables have a negative correlation. When I increase the number of hours that I spend at work, I would have less time for recreational activities, including socialization with friends. However, after I reduce the number of hours I spend at work, I would have a broader range of choices whenever I decide to utilize my free time. In this regard, I can socialize with my family members or friends more when I spend less time at work.

There are 15 points available for this assignment. To get a high grade you should expect to answer each question in detail, at least a paragraph or two in response to each prompt. The assignment is due on Thursday, December 10th at 11.00pm. No exceptions!!!!     The assignment should be submitted as a pdf or .docx file, through Sakai.
Based on your viewing of the Bitter Seeds documentary, and the supplementary readings answer these questions:

1. First, based solely on your viewing of the documentary, answer this question – ’Who do you think bears most responsibility for this problem, and what do you think should be done to reduce the number of farmer suicides?’

Next, read the three articles linked to on the Sakai course site. One is a Guardian article, One is a response from Monsanto, one is an article in a magazine (Mother Jones). The three have different explanations for the farmer suicides. Refer in detail to the articles cited, using quotations if you are directly quoting material.
2. What does each of the articles identify as the main cause behind the rise in farmer suicides?
3. Which of these explanations do you find most convincing? Why?
4. Which of these explanations do you find least convincing? Why?
5. Having now read the readings, read the final one – India’s solution to this problem. Do you think this is a major step in the right direction? Is it enough?
6. Finally, I would like you to think of a core concept in the class textbook. In trying to think about globalization and complex global issues coming together in one place, what we put at the center of our focus is critical. Do we value the sustainability of the planet, of people or of the economy as the most important thing. In the case of cotton growing, especially genetically modified cotton grown in India, what do you feel is the most important thing to focus on, and the biggest challenge to overcome. Support your answer with a reference or two to strengthen your argument.
