Two Parts of a Whole Person


Paper instructions:
Assignment 2: Two Parts of a Whole Person
It is important to consider factors influencing physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development long before the baby arrives. In this discussion, you will examine the relative roles of genetics and the environment. Environmental effects on development include both macrocultural and microcultural influences. Macrocultural influences are the broader influences on a child’s development, such as mass media, religious denomination, societal rules, or educational norms. Microcultural influences are those on a small scale, such as family eating habits, traditions, hierarchical structures, and routines.
Based on the principles of behaviorism, John B. Watson argued, tongue-in-cheek, that he could take a healthy baby and make him into a lawyer, doctor, or thief. Sandra Scarr argued that often a child’s genetic predispositions override the influence of the environment. Based on what you have learned so far about development, select a well-known movie that addresses the nature-versus-nurture question. Some examples are: The Blind Side, Rudy, and A Beautiful Mind. With reference to the film, respond to the following:
How influential is the role of genetics in the child’s development?
What about the role of the environment, temperament, and teratogenics, among others?
Do you agree with Watson, Scarr, both, or neither?
Support your arguments with research, citing sources.

In defense of prejudice


Paper instructions:
Write an academic summary of Rauch’s “In Defense of Prejudice.” You will need to read to make sure you understand the writer’s point/thesis. In drafting and revising your assignment, remember that a summary is a compressed version of an original text, based on the observations, connections and inferences you make through close reading and annotation. Your goal is to communicate the gist of the writer’s main point, and to recognize his ideas based on connecting his points. Do not follow the organization of Rauch’s original essay. Your intro paragraph should include all his main points. Then, organize the body paragraphs of your summary by paraphrasing and moving from the most important, largest idea and ending with the least important. Also do not include your own opinions and ideas. No commentary or evaluation allowed in summary

Parenting Practices Over Generations


Paper instructions:
Assignment 3: Parenting Practices Over Generations
You learned in your readings that parenting practices and techniques used to shape child development are influenced by many factors including culture, socioeconomic status, non-normative life events, and cohort effects. To understand cohort effects, consider that the experiences of a child growing up in the 1940s are different in many ways from a child growing up today.
Read the article: Kotchick, B.A. & Forehand, R. (2002). Putting parenting in perspective: A discussion of the contextual factors that shape parenting practices. Journal of Child and Family Studies, 11(3), 255-269.
http://web.ebscohost.com.libproxy.edmc.edu/ehost/detail?sid=0de5858b-8bf5-4bef-b437-e4e3b5e46ed1%40sessionmgr11&vid=1&hid=7&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ%3d%3d#db=afh&AN=7554170
Synthesize what you learned in your readings as well as the above article to address the following:
Using the chart/table below, list at least 4 parenting practices of 3 generations. You can describe parenting practices of 3 generations of your family members, another family you interview, or general practices of generations based on research you find. For example, how did each generation address issues such as education, extracurricular activities, breastfeeding, sleeping arrangements, religious involvement, etc.? Include brief demographic information (e.g., sex, age, region of the country) Note: 3 different generations means 3 different time periods, not 3 different people.
Now review the chart/table and discuss the following:
How were the parenting practices similar and different between generations?
Explain the concept of cohort effects. What cohort effects (e.g. historical or social events) might have influenced the parenting practices of each generation you described?
Identify and explain contextual factors (other than cohort effects) described by Kotchick and Forehand (2002) that might have influenced the parenting practices of each generation you described.
Why is it important to understand contextual factors, including cohort effects, when researching differences in parenting practices?
