How do the proposed reforms of the UK discretionary planning system towards a more rule-based, streamlined, and digital-first approach affect opportunities for democratic input (community engagement) on local planning (both in terms of development control and strategy)?
a sequence in which the human brain develops. The limbic system, or the seat of emotions and experience of rewards, (p. 344) is said to be completely developed in early adolescence. However, the pre-frontal cortex, also called the, judgement region doesn’t finish developing until at least a person is nearly an adult.
We could reasonably suggest that during the adolescent stage, it may be biologically difficult for a person to wrangle their emotions, impulses, and behaviors.
As a medical educator, how would you teach a group of parents about why their adolescent boys and girls are “acting out”?
explain why adolescent children may be less logical and more emotional in their decision-making. As part of your fact sheet, include ideas on how parents can best support their teenager during this time

The reading for this week, Franz Kafka’s “A Hunger Artist,” raises several questions about artistic accomplishment, such as:
• What is the relationship between the difficulty of a performance and its quality or capacity to impress people?
• What does it mean for a performance to be authentic? What does it mean for a performance to be artificial?
• Does it matter if a performance looks difficult to the audience, but is easy for the performer?
• What does it mean to be impressed by a performance, as opposed to enjoying it?
• What is the role of the marketplace and advertising in performing art? What sort of role does the impresario play, and why does the artist resent him?
• What does it mean to “cheat” at a performance?
• How does commercial success or failure affect an artist’s or the public’s sense of an artwork’s quality?
There are also some questions to be raised about the characters, such as:
• What else does the hunger artist deprive himself of, other than food? How are these other deprivations important to his performance and to his story?
• What are the religious parallels to the story?
• In what ways are the hunger artist and the panther different?
• Suppose we think of the artist, impresario, and panther as being representative of different human drives habits. What do they represent?
• How is Marina Abramović’s performance similar and different to Kafka’s story?
• What is your own subjective response to Abramović’s performance? Do you find it fascinating, pretentious, thoughtful, provocative, annoying? Why?
