Complete a childhood (between 2-9 years of age) observation report in which physical and social behavior is evaluated within the context of developmental norms.
A minimum of three physical behaviors and three social behaviors must be observed and evaluated.
When observing a child, you are required to do so in a public area (playground, mall, library, etc.) and should not draw attention to yourself so the child is aware he or she is being observed. Please get parental permission for our observation. If you need guidance in locating a child to observe, please contact your Instructor immediately.
In addition to the observation, students must evaluate the child’s behavior compared to what is typical of a child of that age. For physical observations, students should evaluate the child according to developmental norms. For cognitive/social behavior, students should evaluate the child using at least two theories discussed in class. These theories can include Piaget’s theory, attachment theory, Erikson’s theory, etc.
The observation report must be typed in 12 point, Times New Roman font, double spaced with one inch margins. The observation report must be a minimum of three pages and grammatically correct.
Examples of physical behavior can include: Approximate height/weight, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, play activities, feeding behavior

a) US – Shrimp case
The countries, namely, India, Malaysia, Pakistan and Thailand lodged a complaint against United States for banning of importation of shrimp and shrimp products from the countries who lodged the complaint which was imposed by the US under Section 609 of US Public Law 101-162 stating that the ban was in violation of Article I, XI and XIII of the General Agreement on Trade and Tariff, 1994. The Dispute Settlement Body established a panel and the panel after concluding the hearings of all the parties, including the third parties, issued a report which was circulated to the members. The panel found that the import ban in shrimp and shrimp products as applied by the United States is inconsistent with Article XI:1 of the GATT 1994, and cannot be justified under Article XX of the GATT 1994.
The United States notified its intention to appeal certain issues of law and legal interpretations developed by the panel. The Appellate Body reversed the panel’s finding that the US measure at issue is not within the scope of measures permitted under the chapeau of Article XX of the GATT 1994, but concluded that the US measure, while qualifying for provisional justification under Article XX(g), fails to meet the requirement of the chapeau of Article XX. The Dispute Settlement Body adopted the Appellate Body report and the Panel report, as modified by the Appellate Body.
The case became significant because it was the first time the WTO recognized environmental protection as one of the objectives of international trading regulation. This case was probably not good for India specifically, but India’s active participation in the dispute shows that India was committed to follow the principles established by the World Trade Organization.
