• Question:-“Ambition must be made to counteract ambition…”How do these words fit into the Constitutional frameworkthat wa?
  Evaluate Madison’s words: “Ambition must be made to counteract ambition…”How do these words fit into the Constitutional frameworkthat was adopted? How well do these words reflect the needs of the 21st century?
  
  Answer:-Ambition is viewed as a quality that can be both a positive and a negative, depending on the situation and other attributes the person possesses. In terms of the Constitution, it can be seen as a reference to the "checks and balances" system in place for congress and the President (majority votes, laws passing both houses, and veto power), to help stop unfair laws from being passed that clearly work to th favor of one group. Of course the issue that comes up is when one political party is in the White House and also control both the House and Senate. These days, more than ever, it seems that voters will blindly vote for their political party without being sure of what the vote is even for. I'm not sure if that answers your home work question, or not :)

  I was reading something online and it said something was done out of pride rather than ambition? What's the difference?

  How do you find a balance?
  
  Thanks.

• Question:-What are the effects of having too much power and even more ambition?
  I am doing a powerpoint presentation in which I am comparing Adolf Hitler and Lady Macbeth and both of them having too much power and even more ambition to come out on top. Also, what could be the purpose of my presentation? Please Help!
  
  Answer:-Well I'm no scholar or anything. But power more often than not tends to corrupt a person as they become aware of the fact that they solely decide their circumstances, and the circumstances of others. Ambition can be good so long as it doesn't get too far out of hand. I remember a quote....and I actually think it's from The Simpsons', " One person may be able to change the world, but they probably shouldn't. " Basically meaning, why should one person get to decide the fate of others? I don't know much about Macbeth, but Hitlers' ambition caused him to impact the fate of millions, if not billions of people. The purpose of your presentation could be to show that the winners are the one's that write the history books, the losers are the villains, and because they lost, they have no say in the matter.

  Q. What is the outlook for adults with Williams syndrome? [back to top]
  
  A. The vast majority of adults with Williams syndrome master self-help skills and complete academic and/or vocational school. They are employed in a variety of settings (ranging from supervised to independent jobs). Many adults with Williams syndrome live with their parents; others live in supervised apartments and some are able to live on their own.

• Question:-Which one of the following children is most likely to have Williams Syndrome?
  A) fifteen year old robin still says "gooder" and "goodest" to mean better and best.
  
  B)ten year old Martins language is typical for his age group, yet he has trouble with such simple academic tasks as counting a set of objects and learning letter sound relationships.
  
  C)Three year old Dana has a birth defect that makes normal speech impossible.
  
  D)Six year old Leigh understands much of what she hears, but she has yet to utter a single word herself.
  
  Answer:-Bookie bear is right, Williams Syndrome is most certainly a genetic condition and it is mostly certainly present at birth because of the distinctive facial features, the baby can have issue with feeding, slow to gain weight, poor muscle tone and joints appear to be floppy, along with a number of other medical problems, and intellectual & developmental problems, and some speech difficulties, but these little people are very sociable and tends to have a happy disposition.
  
  Saying all that I think the answer has to be C as Bookie bear said.
  
  
  I have worked with a few children with Williams syndrome and as I said they are very sociable and very happy, which made working with them a delight.

• Question:-what is the name of the protein coded for by gene in williams syndrome?
  is there a (protein coded with it or not) if there is tell me.
  
  Answer:-There is no protein that codes for it. It is caused by a deletion of over 20 of a persons genes. Specifically genetic material from the region q11.2 of chromosome 7.
  Here are some of the deletions and the charatoristics they present:
  
  ELN gene, which codes for the protein elastin, is associated with the connective-tissue abnormalities and cardiovascular disease
  
  LIMK1, GTF2I, GTF2IRD1, and perhaps other genes may help explain the characteristic difficulties with visual–spatial tasks.
  
  CLIP2, may contribute to the unique behavioral characteristics, mental retardation, and other cognitive difficulties.
  
  
  Hope this helps :-)
