Read the passage below and use the information to answer the question that follows.

Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese navigator and sailor who sailed for Spain, was the first European to find a waterway between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and sail across the Pacific. He was the first person to lead a voyage completely around the world, proving that the Earth is round.

In September 1519, Magellan left from southwestern Spain in command of five ships and a crew of over 250. The expedition sailed across the Atlantic and down the eastern coast of South America. As they sailed, they explored large rivers looking for the waterway that would connect them to the Pacific. When cold weather and winter storms forced them to camp near the southern tip of the continent, Magellan had serious problems to contend with. One of his ships was destroyed while exploring the area. A group of sailors unhappy with the length and danger of the trip attempted to take control of the expedition and return to Spain. Magellan put down this mutiny attempt by force, beheading the leader and leaving other members of the mutiny behind when the expedition continued.

In October 1520, over a year after leaving Spain, they discovered the passage to the Pacific—a passage now called the Strait of Magellan. It took over a month to sail through the narrow, cold, stormy strait. During the passage through the strait one of Magellan’s ships deserted and returned to Spain. On November 28, the three remaining ships sailed out of the strait and into the ocean. Magellan named the ocean Pacifico (Pacific) which means peaceful because, compared to the tumultuous strait they had just been through, the ocean was amazingly calm.

Since no European had previously crossed the Pacific, Earth’s largest stretch of ocean, Magellan and his crew had no idea how big it was and how long it would be before they would again see land. As they sailed month after month, their situation became desperate. Much of the crew became sick from scurvy, a disease caused by lack of vitamin C. Food supplies were not adequate for such a long voyage and those who not killed by scurvy were reduced to eating rats, shoe leather, and sawdust to survive.

After over three months of sailing, Magellan’s expedition arrived in the islands now known as the Philippines. In the several weeks they stayed in the Philippines to recover Magellan and members of his crew became close to the islanders. Magellan converted some to Christianity. In April 1521 Magellan was killed while participating in a battle between rival groups on the island of Mactan.

Before lean manufacturing innovations, Japan mostly sold consumer electronics to the United States. How did lean manufacturing innovations alter Japan’s comparative advantage vis-à-vis the United States?

Answers

Answer:

Thus, lean manufacturing technology helped to improve the comparative advantage position of Japan vis-a vis United States.

Explanation:

Lean manufacturing innovations in Japan have helped to improve efficiency in the production process in the country and thus have helped to reduce the time required for operations. This has reduced the opportunity cost of production in Japan and increased its comparative advantage in the goods for which lean manufacturing was used.

This helped to increase the range of commodities that Japan exported to the United States due to improvement in the manufacturing technology. Thus, this helped to improve the overall terms of trade in the country and also increased gains from trade.

Scenario:
Makwa has just moved to Kingston from Flying Post First Nation reserve. He and his family have been off-reserve many times and felt the move would be relatively easy, however, this is Makwa’s first time at formal care. Up until now, he was community-raised.
Teachers have been observing the 3-year-old for two months now and are seeing the following:
Lack of inclusion in activities
Unwilling to stop activities for transition
Hitting other children
No social connections
Separation anxiety upon drop off which lasts for up to two hours
Refuses to use the toilet in care
Screams when others are speaking loudly.
The parents have offered no help when spoken to and seem to think he will be fine. The parents are also new to town and have new jobs that are creating stress in their lives.

Question: How can the teachers of makwa do to help him?

Answers

Answer:

Cooperate with the child and not wait to be cooperated with.

Explanation:

Children always have a different perspective of things. He might be sick and might not. If the teachers try and get down on his level and think like a child, will see that the child isn’t at fault at all. It’s just simple for me since children seem to really like me :). I was told that I looked approachable and nice. So I think that plays an important role. And it also depends on how you talk to the child. A way to encourage the child to cooperate, is make things seem fun! For example, you make things seem like a secret cuz children love keeping secrets.

Ex: Let me tell you a secret ok? I have brought with me two cones of ice cream and I want to share it with someone, do you know someone that’s nice?

so try to NOT make it seem like youre blaming him!
