(8 pts) [Obj #1: Worldviews] IF YOU CHOOSE THIS QUESTION, LEAVE NUMBER 2 BELOW BLANK: Ho (1987) compared racial/ethnic groups on key Value Orientations (Kluckhohn & Strodtbeck, 1961) and found more similarity among people of color than middle class white people. For example, at the time of this research, white Americans expressed an individualistic orientation toward social relations whereas Asian Americans, Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans showed a collateral focus. First, explain the difference between these two value orientations. Second, hypothesize HOW a person might develop each of these different orientations for social relationships; that is, describe how someone might have been enculturated in daily interactions and by broader narratives surrounding them to develop a collateral orientation versus the path to develop an individualistic orientation. You should consider how their racial group may have affected this enculturation as well.   [HINT: This isn’t asking you to have a definitive understanding of any of these cultural groups’ histories or lived experiences. You are simply hypothesizing how social factors could shape the worldview noted in Ho’s research.]

A crystalline material has a high melting temperature and is electrically insulating at room temperature but becomes conductive when molten. Under an applied shear stress, displacement of one atomic plane causes like-charged species to become adjacent, resulting in fracture rather than extensive plastic deformation. Which type of primary bonding most likely dominates this material?

According to the materials science length scales, which engineering discipline primarily focuses on phenomena occurring at the scale of 107 meters?

A Cu–Al–Ni shape memory alloy (SMA) can recover its original shape after being deformed. Which statement best describes the phase transformation responsible for the shape memory effect?
