Landscapes in Culture

It is Landscape Architecture class project.
1. Landscapes in Culture
The first possible option for the final project in Discovering Landscape is the generation of a report that situates the discipline of landscape architecture within the larger collection of culturally and socially relevant events of a particular time. Your assignment will be to choose one issue
of Landscape Architecture Magazine (available on the 3rd floor of the Health Science Library) from the years between 1970 and 1990 and then locate three additional periodicals focused primarily on cultural, social or scientific trends of that year to compare it to. People, Time, National Geographic, Vogue, Popular Mechanics would all be examples, but are by no means the extent of the possible list. Thus your references will consist of 4 periodicals from the same year (preferably the same time
of that year), one of which will be Landscape Architecture Magazine. These documents will be read in their entirety and then a report will be written describing the relationship between the discipline of landscape architecture (as described by LAM) and other popular media and events of the time. This report should consist of references to all of the chosen periodicals in addition to other sources necessary for making clear and compelling relationships. Each report should be between 1200 and 2000 words and include relevant scanned and referenced images to aid in making your case. For example, if you are making a case regarding something visual, you should scan (and cite) the images from the periodicals to help your point. You could also generate diagrams or other visuals to help clarify your position or ideas. Please note that your projects will be scanned for plagiarism, thus ensure that your citations are clear and your text, your own.

Describe the major theories of personality development, learning, memory, cognition, consciousness, development and social psychology.

Assignment 1: Retrospective Analysis of Personality

In this assignment, begin by taking a retrospective look at your life history, to discuss which aspects of your personality have remained consistent and which aspects of your personality have changed over time. Then, analyze the roles of nature and nurture in shaping your personality. Subsequently, discuss possible sources of inaccuracy and bias in any retrospective analysis.

Reflect on your life history and discuss which aspects of your personality have changed over time and which aspects have stayed consistent.
Based on your retrospective analysis, describe the roles of nature and nurture in shaping your personality. Reflect on your justification for distinguishing between nature and nurture.
Discuss the possible sources of bias and inaccuracy whenever a person looks back on their past history. Be sure to discuss factors related to memory and factors related to cognition.
Describe why the science of psychology places more emphasis on results based on scientific studies than it does on personal experience and anecdotes.

All individuals planning to conduct research must complete a web-based program called CITI, a Course in the Protection of Human Research Subjects. The course may require 4-6 hours to complete but does not have to be conducted in one session. You will be completing required modules for the Social and Behavioral Sciences; note that there are optional modules and there are modules you may complete for Biomedical Research.

The IRB may require additional modules if needed for your research investigation.

If you have successfully completed CITI in a previous course, you may submit the earlier certificate of completion.

Part I:

When you complete the course, you will see a screen containing your certificate of completion. Save this page. Then upload the saved file to your Mentor as the first part of this Activity.

Part II:

Consider any ethical concerns for your intended research topic, review the IRB Application, and send a brief written description of any ethical concerns as the second part of this Activity. (Research Topic: Investigate if it’s useful or not to appoint female coaches to male teams. What problems may appear?) I am pro women!!

Length: 5-7 pages not including title and reference pages.

References: Minimum of 3-5 scholarly resources.

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your paper should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Review APA Form and Style.
