World’s Behavior Analysis day is observed every year on March 20. It is a day for us to reflect on our behavior and think of what makes us behave the way we do. Behavior analysis studies how biological, experiential, and pharmacological factors influence the behavior of human beings. The study of behavior analysis has been useful to the analysts in helping to address socially important behavior such as healthy eating, drug-taking, education, and treatment of developmental disabilities such as autism and Asperger’s syndrome. The goal of behavior analysis is to improve on what works positively for us and alleviate problematic behaviors.
Operation Iraqi Freedom Day
Operation Iraqi Freedom Day occurs on March 19 annually. It falls on the anniversary of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the day when the United States, along with coalition forces primarily from the United Kingdom, initiated war on Iraq in 2003. It is also known as the Second Persian Gulf War. The United States invaded Iraq and aimed to destroy Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and end the dictatorial rule of Saddam Hussein. An insurgency emerged to oppose the coalition forces and the post-invasion Iraqi government which resulted in the conflict continuing for much of the next decade.
National Preschool Teacher Appreciation Day
National Preschool Teachers Appreciation Day is on March 20 this year. It occurs annually on the third Friday of March. Preschool teachers play a critical role in our children’s lives. Teachers shape and mold the young minds of our future generations and are usually the first contact they have in the education system. They teach students that are between the ages of three and five. This is usually the time children are going through their most formative and critical learning phase. A good preschool teacher can set the bar for the rest of one’s learning journey.
