Answer:

The two meanings of turbulent

Explanation:

One meaning of the adjective <em>Turbulent </em>= Characterized by conflict, disorder, or confusion, not controlled or calm. When related to the noun <em>air </em>or <em>water </em>it means moving unsteadily or violently.

In these lines the author uses the analogy of water (stream) with humans to describe the <em>downward-flowing</em> (water seeks for the lowest point; humanity seeks for surviving) evacuees that could become a disordered and violent human conflict.

A famous singer recently came to give a talk to the students at your school about her life and work. Your head teacher has asked
Harrizon [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no further specific references, we can comment on the following.

This is my report.

It is always interesting to know more details about the life of famous people. In this case, this female singer that gave a lecture about the life of a musician was interesting, although she talked in general terms. I think it would have been more interesting if she could have talked about the details of the music business for new musicians or the way she had to overcome adversities to become a popular artist.

I say this because there are many texts and references on the internet about the music business. However, there is such little information about the specifics, the details. And popular artists like her could be able to share good information with students about the details of the music business.

My suggestion is that we could invite these famous people but we should ask them to center their speech on specific issues so the talk could be useful. If they talk about general issues or about their lives, many books and pages already include their bios and general information.

We, as students, need more focused topics, that only listen to general information or the artist's public life that is already known.

Explain the difference between the literal, supernatural, and psychological levels in a story.
Misha Larkins [42]

In order to interpret a story, it is essential to consider all levels of it. The literal meaning refers to the plot, setting, and characters. It is the first level that you see in the story. In order to be interpreted, it needs to be considered together with the other levels. As for the supernatural level, it usually requires some analysis so as to be identified. The analysis has to be considering mainly the supernatural elements and events happening in the story, such as ghosts, some strange events, like the sudden appearance of objects. While the other two levels can be found in the story itself, the psychological level is analyzed usually by the reader, or writer. It is the interpretation of the story itself. To consider the psychological level, the other two have to previously analyzed, because this level takes them into account.

How is the "inborn talents" model similar to and different from the "new picture"?
katrin2010 [14]

Similarities and difference between "inborn talents" from the "new picture" is given below.

Explanation:

“In the past, leadership scholars considered charisma, intelligence and other personality traits to be the key to effective leadership. Accordingly, these academics thought that good leaders use their inborn talents to dominate followers and tell them what to do, with the goal either of injecting them with enthusiasm and willpower that they would otherwise lack or of enforcing compliance.

“In recent years, however, a new picture of leadership has emerged, one that better accounts for leadership performance. In this alternative view, effective leaders must work to understand the values and opinions of their followers—rather than assuming absolute authority—to enable a productive dialogue with followers about what the group embodies and stands for and thus how it should act. By leadership, we mean the ability to shape what followers actually want to do, not the act of enforcing compliance using rewards and punishments.

Leadership effectiveness is the product of individual ability to be the architect of culture, to understand the values and attitudes of followers (who may be colleagues as well as direct reports), and to inspire the contributions, cooperation and mutual support of the people around the would-be leader.

According to this new approach, no fixed set of personality traits can assure good leadership because the most desirable traits depend on the nature of the group being led and the context at hand.

How do the children respond to the mother's secret?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer: This study examined children’s secret-keeping for a parent and its relationship to trust, theory of mind, secrecy endorsement, and executive functioning (EF). Children (N = 107) between 4 and 12 years of age participated in a procedure wherein parents broke a toy and asked children to promise secrecy. Responses to open-ended and direct questions were examined. Overall, secret-keeping increased with age and promising to keep the secret was related to fewer disclosures in open-ended questioning. Children who kept the secret in direct questioning exhibited greater trust and better parental ratings of EF than children who disclosed the secret. Findings highlight the importance of both social and cognitive factors in secret-keeping development.
