PEER 1 BB

• Based on the content in “A Class Divided,” are children immune to the attitudes and behaviors of other group members? Explain.

I believe children are immune to the behaviors of groups because, with Mrs. Elliott two-day Blue/Brown eyes exercise it was shown, when she was favorable towards one set color of eyes the students were more enthusiastically and more app to answer questions quickly and correctly. While those who were discriminated against felt more like outcasts, and would second guess themselves, when it came to answering questions.

• In what ways might important developmental milestones influence social development in childhood?

Important developmental milestones influence social development in childhood because, as children they will end up gaining a better understanding of their own emotions and those of other people, in which those skills they learn how to interact and play with other people with development of empathy.

• Based on psychological evidence, should antisocial behavior in adulthood be primarily blamed on impaired socialization as a child? If so, what types of interventions might help to remediate these impairments? If not, what do you think leads to adult antisocial behavior?

Based on psychological evidence antisocial behavior in adulthood could be partially blamed on impaired socialization as a child, but genetics and environment plays a huge role. According to the National Library of Medicine for childhood antisocial behavior genetics played a 41% role, and their environment played 40% role. Wang et al had examined influences of genetic and environmental factors when it came to aggressive antisocial behavior in 780 twin pairs, it was shown that with age the level of aggressive antisocial behavior had increased in males in ages of nine to eighteen. (National Library of Medicine)

• Can you teach children tolerance and inclusiveness if they are already indoctrinated by societal intolerance? What if the children in “A Class Divided” had never had a follow-up class explaining brown eyes as an indicator of the smart people?

It is said children soak information in like sponges’ soak water.  As a mother myself I had instilled set beliefs in my son starting at an early age, we share our toys, do not make fun of people based on their appearance.  He has done great with that, he has stuck up for his friends who were getting made fun for the way they look. But times are also changing social media has taken over people seem to become more comfortable with attacking others online and making their own prejudice judgements on individuals based on what they see and not what they know( andor before getting all the facts).

• How does the concept of development of the social self apply to any of the following programmatic course themes:

I believe it ties into ethics as we have a set standard to follow, some people ethics in time or some point get twisted up but we as individuals need to remember our morals. Peoples morals and values are tested daily, and with the video Class A Divided I believe it touched greatly on ethics.

PEER 2 KH

In my opinion children are more susceptible to the attitudes and behaviors of other group members. Children are like sponges, absorbing everything that they see and then copying what they see. The children in “A class divided” watched and listened as their teachers told them that kids with the opposite-colored eyes were less then them. Suddenly someone who was their friend they day before was no longer their friend based off the idea that eye color determined importance. “A Class Divided” shows that children and adults can be taught tolerance and inclusiveness. In 1968 societal intolerance was embedded in almost every white American family yet Mrs. Elliott taught them about discrimination and inclusiveness. This lesson stayed with those children and shaped how they raised their children. If they children never had the follow-up lesson then the children would have less tolerant of people with different colored eyes, they would have thought that people with brown eyes were less smart because that had been told that and seen it in their third-grade class.

When developmental milestones are missed this can result in a child being anti-social. In the experiment of Anna, she did not interact with people, so she did not learn how to interact, therefore missing milestones. This led to Anna not making eye contact with, not learning to smile, or interact with people. Anti-social behavior in adulthood is mostly a result of impaired socialization as a child as well as life experiences, or lack thereof. To remedy this, slow and gradual exposer and socialization can help.

The concept of development of social self applies to emotional intelligence. Understanding the importance of the development of social self and helping others develop a social self demonstrates emotional intelligence. Being able to identify when someone lacks development of a social self and knowing how to deal with a person who is lacking in that area also demonstrates emotional intelligence.

Assignment

Assignment: Gender Theories

There are several perspectives on gender development. These perspectives have been studied and formulated into theories. Freud led the way with psychodynamic theories of gender development suggesting that early childhood interaction with parents was the foundation of gender development. Social learning theories are founded in reinforcement and observational models suggesting that gender development is learned. Cognitive development theories suggest that gender differences develop by observation of gender consistencies, gender schemata, or gender scripts within a culture. Whatever the theory, gender roles differ in different cultures. Remember that culture includes age, religion, sexual orientation, etc., as well as race and ethnicity. In this Application Assignment, you will apply gender theory to gender development by comparing gender roles in different cultures and using theory to explain the difference.

To prepare for this assignment:

  • Review the assigned pages in Chapter 1 and all of Chapter 5 in the course text, Gender: Psychological Perspectives. Focus on how gender studies have evolved over the decades and the difference between the gender development theory perspectives.
  • Review the article, “Perspectives on Gender Development.” Focus on the limitations of traditional social learning and cognitive perspectives and what an expanded view might look like.
  • Select a specific culture (e.g., geographical, religious, racial, etc.) that is not your own. Using the Internet and the Walden Library, research gender roles for this culture.
  • Think about how each of the different theories of gender development might explain the development of the gender roles in the culture you have selected and for your own culture. Your text explores psychodynamic approaches, social learning theory approaches, and cognitive theory approaches.

The assignment (3–5 pages):

  • Briefly describe the specific culture you selected, focusing on the gender roles of both males and the females.
  • Compare (similarities and differences) the gender roles in the culture you selected with the gender roles in your own culture. Use clear, concrete examples to make your comparisons.
  • Apply one of the following theories to explain the development of the male and the female role in each of the two cultures (your own and the culture you selected). Use clear, concrete examples to illustrate your points.
  • Discuss development of gender roles in at least three different areas of life (e.g., family, work, community, etc.)
  • Select your theory from the following:
    • Social Learning Theory
    • Cognitive Developmental Theory
    • Gender Schema Theory
    • Gender Script Theory
  • Finally, summarize your thoughts about how well your selected gender development theory explains gender development and why.

Note: Support the responses within your Assignment with evidence from the assigned Learning Resources, including in-text citations. Provide a reference list for resources you used for this Assignment.

Discussion Post Help

Discussion: Gender, Culture, and Sexuality

Sexual behavior is a highly controversial topic. Different cultural groups have varying beliefs on the appropriateness and morality of various sexual behaviors, when these behaviors should occur and with whom, the age at which sexual behavior should occur, and so forth. Sexual behavior is a common topic in religion, politics, and education, and is also based on cultural and religious belief systems where accepting differences in others’ sexual behavior is typically difficult, if not impossible, for some.

Not only are there differing religious and cultural views on sexuality but there are different views and perceptions on gender-related aspects of sexuality within almost all religious and cultural groups. For example, in some cultures, prepubescent, same-sex experimentation is expected and encouraged prior to adulthood, whereas this behavior is perceived as abnormal and condemned in most Western societies. In some cultures, women are perceived as having a much lower sex drive than men and older adults may be perceived as having no sex drive at all. As with any perception, when society acts on an assumption, people are impacted. As a simple example, if you assume that older adults do not have sex and construct barriers for sexual activity in assisted living facilities, the mental well-being of the residents in that facility may be affected. Understanding the differences in sexuality in different cultural groups is an important aspect of understanding the whole person.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review Chapter 10 in the course text, Gender: Psychological Perspectives. Focus on what the various studies and assessment results say about gender differences related to sexuality.
  • Select a culture that is not your own. Remember that culture includes age, religion, sexual orientation, etc., as well as race and ethnicity. Find at least one article that describes a gender-related aspect of sexuality in this culture and compare it to your own culture. That is, think about what is similar and what is different between this culture and your own when considering gender differences and sexuality.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 3

Post a brief description of the culture you have selected, and briefly describe your own culture. Then, compare (similarities and differences) a gender-related difference in these two cultures related to an aspect of sexuality. What does the research have to say about gender differences related to sexuality? What did you find surprising about the research and why?

Note: Put the cultures you are comparing in the first line of your post. You will be asked to respond to a colleague who compared at least one culture that is different from the ones you did.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings.

Nervous System

  • List three parts of the brain and their function
  • Discuss the role of the nervous system
  • Discuss the interaction between hormones and behavior.
  • Summarize the nature vs nurture debate
  • Explain epigenetics

Here below is the PDF of the EBook.

This information can be found on Page 137-141 (Nervous System), Pg. 150 (Interaction Between Hormones and Behavior), Pg.163 (The 3 parts of the Brain (frontal, parietal, temporal lobes), Pgs.179-182 (Nature and Nurture), Pgs. 189-190 (Epigenetics)

It is not a long assignment, it is just little information on each.

Here is an Example of what I need:

  • List three parts of the brain and their function

– The frontal lobes are important for voluntary movement, expressive language and for managing higher level executive functions. Executive functions refer to a collection of cognitive skills including the capacity plan, organize, initiate, self-monitor and control one’s responses in order to achieve a goal.

– The parietal lobe is vital for sensory perception and integration, including the management of taste, hearing, sight, touch, and smell. It is home to the brain’s primary somatic sensory cortex, a region where the brain interprets input from other areas of the body.

– The temporal lobes sit behind the ears and are the second largest lobe. They are most commonly associated with processing auditory information and with the ding encouragement.

  • Discuss the role of the nervous system

– The nervous system is the major controlling, regulatory, and communicating system in the body. It is the center of all mental activity including thought, learning and memory. Together with the endocrine system, the nervous system is responsible for regulating and maintaining homeostasis.

  • Interaction Between Hormones and the Behavior:

– They are very interesting to me because ever since a baby is born the genders are defined by colors just like gender reveals and how since the baby is a boy they dress him up in blueish colors and girls otherwise with pink. but like with the lecture of the monkeys where they don’t have that influence on them and yet due to the hormones in males or females the male monkeys chose male toys such as balls and trucks meanwhile female monkeys chose female toys such as dolls.

  • Summarize the nature vs nurture debate

From what I gathered from the reading on Lumen.  There is a stronger correlation between genetics, suggesting a stronger leaning towards the “nature” stance in the debate.  However, it is also important to keep in mind that nurture (and/or environment/social expectations) can also have some impact on a person’s decisions making skills and actions.

  • Explain epigenetics

-Epigenetics is the study of how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work. Unlike genetics changes, epigenetic changes are reversible and do not change your DNA sequence, but they can change how your body read a DNA sequence.”
