Read “On stereotypes” by Mahzarin R. Banaji and Anthony G Greenland. Write an 6-8 pages argumentative essay in MLA format. I came up with a thesis: Nowadays, we are inserted in a world where our social and cultural development occurs through exchanging information, thoughts, and perspectives that serve as the feeder of stereotypes between societies. I also have a source that must be used. It include 4 source. You can choose two other different ones for a total of 6 sources. Kurylo, A. (2015).

A research project on an infectious illness in the U.S. or global population that has a zoonotic/environmental component relevant to our One Health theme. Using your understanding of the bio-psycho-socio-cultural model of illness & health care, you must integrate at least two different disciplines into your research. For example, if I was interested in researching the cholera epidemic in Haiti, I could include any combination of the following disciplines: history (impact of natural disasters, like earthquakes, over time); ecology (effects of deforestation on Haitian culture & health); political science (instability in the government & poverty); molecular biology (the pathophysiological effects or transmission of an infectious disease); public health (response of the WHO to the cholera outbreak); anthropology/medical ethics (study of Dr. Paul Farmer’s work in Haiti); psychology (mental health issues in the earthquake/epidemic aftermath).

The paper must have the following components:
1) final project title (a title that should follow academic convention,
being both engaging and descriptive of the focus of your project)
2) one paragraph abstract,
3) discussion of results/data ORGANIZED into sections with logical headers,
4) conclusions (This is not a summary! Your conclusion should include analysis of your research),
5) At least 10 sources. ( these will be provided and uploaded)

Please use footnotes/Chicago style for this assignment.

The study of personality from Chapter 8 Behaviour and in Social and Cultural Context gave us an understanding of how our behaviour is shaped and influenced by groups or external forces whereas in Chapter 14 Theories of Personality , we will look more at the influence of the individual or ‘the self’ on our personality and behaviours. In introductory psychology, personality is often a chapter that students enjoy because of the insight it can give us around what makes us tick and potential influences that have shaped us into the people we are today. You will read about key theories of personality development; in psychology, there are many theories that enhance our understanding of different concepts, with personality theories being no different. All psychological theories each have underlying assumptions about human beings and human nature which serve to influence the resulting ideas each theory proposes of understanding human behaviour and experience. They serve as a framework to understand people better. We often use multiple theories to understand aspects of human experience, viewing these from the respective angles each one takes. Therefore, we hope as you progress through this week that you will gain a better understanding of yourself and others. In preparation for this week’s journal entry, as you read through the various personality theories, we encourage you to ‘try on’ the theories to help you better understand or explain aspects of yourself and others. As mentioned, Chapter 14 discusses many lenses through which to view personality development. Prepare a journal entry where you will discuss a) out of these theories which one (or two) resonate(s) most with you, b) which you feel does the best job at explaining personality and why, c) where you see proof of this in your own personality development and temperament, and d) your critique of this theory. In your entry, please place word-count significance on part c.
