human behavior or preference for which you can provide both proximate and ultimate explanations.

By

Evolutionary explanations for behavior make some people uncomfortable because we like to think that we do things because we want to, or because they're good, etc. 
To think that these two views are in conflict with each other is to confuse proximate and ultimate causes.
If you look at a chain of events that leads to an action, proximate causes are close and ultimate causes are all the way back at the beginning of the chain. In biology, "proximate and ultimate explanations also differ in the time scale over which they act. Proximate explanations focus on things that occur during the life of an individual. Ultimate explanations focus on things that occur in populations over many generations," (Hannam & Rutowski, 2015).
In the TED Talk below, philosopher and cognitive scientist Daniel Dennett provides a few examples of proximate and ultimate explanations for certain human preferences. For example, we like apples because they are sweet (proximate), and we like sweet things because we have evolved to prefer foods that are calorically dense (ultimate).

Question: Watch the video. What are your thoughts? Generate your own example of a human behavior or preference for which you can provide both proximate and ultimate explanations. (Before posting, read below to make sure that no one else has already used this example)
do not use these: physically fit people are considered more attractive, ability to walk on two legs or bipedalism

Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality

1.Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Replace hardcoded strings “Zero”, “One”, “Two”, “Three” in the ArrayList based on user typed input (use Scanner or JOptionPane classes). The user will be prompted for the String to be stored in the ArrayList and then hit enter. The user will be able to continue to add items to the ArrayList until they just hit enter without typing anything. Once the user does this (hits enter without typing anything), the program will display all of the elements of the ArrayList, both the index and String values, in a table. It will do this via a single loop making use of an iterator method. 2. Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Use a Try/Catch block so that the exception is caught and the program exits a bit more gracefully. Save this file as TryCatch.java. (Be sure to rename the Public Class accordingly.) Starting with the provided code again (without the Try/Catch block), fix the code so that

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND THE EARLY REPUBLIC

By
Assignment Overview The American Revolution and Independence As we saw in the Module Overview, there were numerous factors that ultimately led to revolution and independence. In this second Case assignment, you’ll be researching and writing about some of those factors. Case Assignment Write a 3 to 4-page essay identifying at least FOUR factors which led to colonial independence. In your paper, explain which events triggered discord between the colonies and the Mother Country. Be sure to do some research on your own and use other resources to analyze the thought-processes which sparked independent thinking. The best way to approach and organize the paper would be to create a title for each event and then discuss your findings. For example; for the first one you could write, “Event 1, The Seven Years War”. This would be followed by your narrative on how this war led to independence. The rest of the paper would follow this pattern. Assignment Expectations Use concepts from the background
