Select two dimensions or values described in this week’s Learning Resources.  Then, select two cultures other than your own found in this week’s Learning Resources. 

/in /by

Cultures vary widely in the values to which members adhere. For example, some cultures may highly value personal achievement, where other cultures value religious convictions as a core value. One culture may emphasize the importance of being independent while another culture may focus on the importance of being a supportive group member.

As you review the Learning Resources for this Discussion, think about your own culture and the many values you hold dear. Then, think about the other cultures you will read about and why their value systems may be different from your own. How might understanding values and culture help you to develop as a professional and promote a sense of appreciation for others personally?

For this Discussion, you will examine how the basic concepts from social psychology i.e., socialization, social roles, social cognition, and social behavior are all influenced by culture.

  • Select two dimensions or values described in this week’s Learning Resources.
  • Then, select two cultures other than your own found in this week’s Learning Resources.

Post and briefly define the two dimensions or values you selected. Next, describe and discuss examples of how these two dimensions or values are expressed in the two cultures you selected. In your explanation, make sure to explain how socialization, social roles, social cognition, and social behavior are influenced by culture.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources and identify current relevant literature to support your work.

1. The following paragraph has been formatted incorrectly according to APA formatting rules. Identify and describe 4 errors in the following paragraph:

Smith, Jones, & Terry 2008 investigated the effects of death-qualification on jurors’ confidence. A “death-qualified” juror is one who is willing to give the death penalty. 60 college students were randomly assigned to one of 2 different conditions. In both conditions, participants completed a short questionnaire that asked them whether they would or would not be willing to give the death penalty. In the first condition, participants reported aloud their response, and those participants who were not willing to give the death penalty were asked to leave the experiment. In the other condition, participants handed in their response on a written survey. Again, the researchers told participants who were not willing to give the death penalty to leave. After participants unwilling to give the death penalty left, the researchers told the remaining 45 “death-qualified” participants to fill out surveys regarding how confident they felt in their original death-qualification answers. The researchers found that, “participants in the verbal response condition were more confident in their death qualification status than participants in the written response condition”. The researchers concluded that making public commitments about death-qualification status makes participants more confident in their death-qualified status.

Throughout the HSBE I and II courses, you have explored the biological,   psychological, and sociological aspects of different phases of the human   life span. You have explored life-span development theories that help   to explain human behavior. You also have considered how the social   environment influences individuals and their behavior.Gathering facts about a client’s life span through the interview process   is an important social work skill. This week, you practice this skill   by interviewing an older adult using the questions in the Life Span   Interview document available in this week’s resources.

For this week’s   Assignment you transform your interview notes into a narrative—that is, a   life story—of the older adult ­you interviewed. You interweave within   this narrative an analysis of the life story by applying person and the environment concepts to your understanding and interpretation of that story.

Submit a 3- to 5-page paper in which you provide a narrative analysis of the Life Span Interview you completed.

The paper should:Provide a chronological history of the individual’s major life experiences.

Identify specific biological, psychological and sociological influences that shaped the individual’s experience.

Analyze the individual’s experiences by applying theory and concepts learned throughout both HBSE courses.

Provide your reflection of the experience, both in interviewing the individual and analyzing their narrative.

Explain what you learned and how you will apply this to future social work practice
