Introduction
One of the key elements of growth identified in this documentary is the correlation between the value and nature of what people experience and its impacts on their cognitive development. The documentary brings new insights on how development and growth are at the center of the cognitive growth that a child attains over time. One of the most interesting ideas from the documentary is that growth is a process that is built around the environment that a person grows in and this determines their cognitive development. The article brings in new insights on the value and nature of what people experience and its impacts on their growth. The documentary sums up key aspects of brain development that define what and how a person perceives life. In a deeper outlook, the documentary is centered around the huma development and how the psychological growth is determined by the surroundings and experiences.
The nature of memory and brain development
The brain development is at the center of all psychological growth that a person attains in life and thus centered around the integral element of cognitive growth (Diaz, 2020). The documentary was very informative and well detailed as it brings insights that are deep and informative. Most importantly, the documentary creates the right tone and mood due to the speaker’s affluent and strong communication skills. One of the most clear thing about the documentary is that it does not only focus on the value of psychological and brand development but also shows the value and inclusive growth as part of the mental stability and ingenious ideas (Wijeakumar et al., 2019). The documentary touches on the value for a diverse and all-round psychological development that is rooted in the positive environment.
The documentary is well framed and planned to cover the main ideas and also carries the right ideas that point to what and how learning and brain development are correlated. The other major idea in the documentary is that the environment one is exposed to determines the way he or she learns and thus a key determiner of the modelling and inclusive brain development. The ideas raised in the documentary also depict that human behavior is a learning process that involves elaborate ideas and inclusive learning. To sum it up, the speaker seeks to clarify a very important idea related to learning and behavior. The documentary offers the book’s signature inclusion of human and non-human studies and full-color design and images.
Impact of Environment on psychological developmentOne of the key aspects of development is related to the brain that determines the psychological aspect of growth. The environment plays a key role in the growth and development of the brain and thus a key part of a person’s growth (Gluck, Mercado, & Myers, 2016). Positive environment contributes to a strong mind and thus create the right outlets for ideas and good decisions. On the other hand, a negative environment that is not conducive for mental peace contributes to a weak memory and thus poor psychological development. The documentary points to a very distinct view by comparing how brain development and the psychological growth is rooted in the value and nature of the environment one grows in. In particular, the speaker narrates that the inclusive element of direct environment has a major impact on a young person. One of the most notable ideas raided in the documentary is that a positive environment triggers the brain to reflect and create that which is psychologically viable for positive ideas (Cassilhas et al., 2016). Through such positive impulses, the brain is strengthened to reason straight and thus key aspects of development are derived within the contemporal value for growth. The ideas raised in the documentary point to what scientists refer to as positive impulse triggered by what the brain is exposed to and the immediate environment.
On the other hand, the exposure to negative environment can harm the integral growth and development that is key to critical thinking (Wijeakumar et al., 2019). The speaker makes some comparison between the two types of environment where he points to what he refers to the direct impulse. The negative environment is hereby branded as a killer to the psychological growth and thus a bad energy to brain development. The documentary highlights some interesting views that shows that negative environment can harm the brain development mainly for a young person. The documentary sums up that the right environment is key to a strong psychological growth. In line with this observation, the speaker argues that the right environment is the root to good ideas, mature thinking, and strong decisions (Gluck, Mercado, & Myers, 2016). The documentary has well analyzed ideas that shows the comparison between the positive and negative environment and their effect on the psychological development.
Learning and Memory development
The right memory is always the platform upon which learning takes place and thus cognitive growth. The documentary makes key observations that align with what he sees as direct correlation between the memory and ideas that surround what people build in their mind. The documentary is centered around the value for a good brain development to the inclusive value for what people can do to make sure that their memory grows strong and thus a positive psychological development (Dumontheil, 2016). In her view, the speaker narrates that the value of a good memory overshadows any obstacles as it only requires the person to induce the right thoughts and experiences to overcome any problem. The documentary has derived the right notions and ideas that show how good memory is the key to creating a strong learning process by acquiring ideas. The speaker shows that with good memory, one can induce the right learnings and thus able to remember things with ease. One of the key aspects of what people perceive is rooted in the value of good memory and thus the right thinking and idea development (Gluck, Mercado, & Myers, 2016).
The right memory development can only be proven through its ability to remember of generate ideas. One of the most notable ideas raised is the correlation between good thinking and the creative relationship between thinking and idea development (Kutlu & Gould, 2016). The documentary creates the right comparison by showing that ideas are generated from memories and experiences and this forms the root to what people generate as good ideas.
Relationship between learning and behavior
The learning concept as derived through observation and reading is one of the most viable tools for brain development. The behaviors that people adopt or portray are learnt over time and thus expressed through physical actions (Diaz, 2020). The speaker in the documentary notes that most people are able to make the right decisions and show good behavior because they have learnt and exposed themselves to a positive environment. Likewise, the value of learning and inclusive behavior expression is corelated and they influence the image of a person. One of the closest relations between learning and behavior is that the ideas gained through the process.
Additionally, the documentary offers elaborate explanations on why and how the mental strength should be rooted in a positive environment. The speaker is keen to underline the value of the physical environment to the growth of a person. The documentary brings in new ideas and shows the way the environment can determine how a child grows mentally and thus the overall psychological strength. One of the key ideas raised in the documentary is that learning and memory and inclusive and always determines the brain development. The speaker highlights very important ideas that are tied to the notion of a derived model that is common among many people.
One of the main rules highlighted by the author shows that memory learning is both derived from what people experience in their lifetime. As noted in the documentary, brain development is key to learning. The speaker makes a comparison between cognitive development and learnt behavior (Gluck, Mercado, & Myers, 2016). Additionally, the documentary shows that behavior learning takes time and is always tied to what people experience. One of the key elements of growth identified in this documentary is the correlation between the value and nature of what people experience and its impacts on their cognitive development. The documentary was very informative and interesting to watch as it brings insights that are deep and informative. there is some considerable information but the speaker seeks to highlight in trying to show that behavior can be learnt directly or indirectly.

Response one
It is true that many people will pay any amount to get the best products from the market. That is why a high price product ought to be of high quality according to the preferences of the targeted consumers. Acid+All knew this and that is why they had to market their product to their customers. Creating awareness of the product like tom Thomas did is important, as it is able to set the pace for the consumers. The feedback that the consumers give is crucial in ensuring that Acid+All improves on their product to attract more customers and maintain a competitive advantage. Though Tom Thomas determined the pricing strategy based on various factors including the competitors pricing and what they offer, at the end of the day the consumers of the product are the ones that count (Strategy, 2012). All he has to do is come up with the best marketing strategy to reach out to many customers possible and retain them.
Response two
It is important that before establishing a new product in the market, one conducts a study of the market saturation. The price of the new product in consideration with the ones already in the market is also important. Take Acid+ All, for instance, who brought an anti acid in the market at a high price compared to the existing anti acids in the market. Customers cannot purchase a new product at a higher price while the existing products produce the same results. Such product ends up having a short life cycle due to the high level of competition in the market. Had Acid+All recognized this from the start, they could have not have ventured into the market due to the competition or they could have started at an affordable price in relation to its competitors (Porter, 2008).

Discussion Questions and Weekly Reflections 3
Discussion Question 1:
In what ways do your reading assignments shed light on the cases Gawande (2008) describes in “The Itch”? What does the article suggest about the nature of medical knowledge and about knowledge in general? What steps might be required for the treatment described to become an accepted part of the practice of medicine?
From Gawande’s article, it can be deduced that medical knowledge and knowledge in general is complex and progressive. In addition, the article implies that perception rather than reception plays an important role in influencing the type of responses that persons in the medical field use to address emergent problems. However, the latter also provides a viable approach and needs to be explored accordingly. The conventional belief and perception that knowledge is progressive has further been reinforced by the article. Seemingly, the final response to the itching problem can be considered to have been contributed to by initial knowledge regarding the nature of the relative ailments.
Also worth mentioning is the fact that knowledge is a complex affair that is usually derive from multiple factors. In this article, M is exposed to a host of treatments that are basically geared towards relieving her itch (Gawande, 2008). However, the prepositions of the neurologist still provide a knowledge gap. Despite being rather simple and localized, the mirror box test offers the best option through which the ailment can be addressed accordingly. It only needs to be refined in order to be at par with the societal expectations and standards. Nevertheless, it is an affordable and effective treatment and marks a great achievement in this field of specification.

Discussion Question 2:
In Book 2, Ch. XXXIII, 5-6, of “An Essay Concerning Human Understanding” (Moser & Vander Nat, p. 137-8), Locke discusses “strong combination(s) of ideas not allied by nature”. What are the implications of such ideas for Locke and for his goals as a philosopher? How can one tell the difference between such ideas and those truly “allied by nature”? Provide at least one example of a strong but questionable combination of ideas you see in your profession and discuss the effect it has had on learning and progress.
The strong combination of ideas not allied by nature had diverse implications on Locke’s philosophy as well as his goals as a philosopher. In particular, they influenced his way of thinking and made it significantly different from his fellow philosophers’ as well as the general public. Put differently, such ideas gives humans an upper hand with regards to understanding the philosophical underpinnings of different events and incidents as opposed to the general public. The ideas are also largely responsible for enabling Locke to attain his goals as a philosopher. This is because of their ability to align his way of thinking to philosophical principles.
The ideas that are not allied to nature can be differentiated from those that are truly allied by nature by the fact that while the latter have an intrinsic natural correspondence and tend to be similar, the former are diverse and influenced by secondary factors such as interests and education (Mallgrave, 2006). A typical example of strong and questionable ideas pertains to religion and includes: God exists and He resides in heaven. Notably, this set of ideas has undermined the progress of learning as it is the ultimate understanding in religion. Any efforts to confirm the ideas have been discouraged on the premise that it is sinful.

Weekly Reflections
Another week has once more elapsed and my progress in epistemology seems to be compounded by certain complexities. The feedback from the professor seems discouraging as it is a clear indication that my progress is not impressive. I believe it is all inclined in my way of thinking that needs further fine tuning. In particular, I have experienced challenges while trying to put my thoughts in writing. Fortunately, I have been able to figure this out and hopefully, I will be able to address this shortcoming in the near future.
One of the articles that had a great impact on my wellbeing was Gawande’s The Itch. I literary began to itch when I read it. It offers useful insights with regards to the nature of knowledge and how gaps often occur. Most importantly, it challenges the medical personnel to become flexible with knowledge and explore other options in resolving emergent problems as suggested by Rorty (1981). Undoubtedly, the knowledge gained during the past week has been both inspiring and challenging.
