Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read the transcript Seven Day of Rage: The Craigslist Killer from CBS News and review Chapter 7 from the Harré (2006) e-book as well as the Maslow (1943), Freud (1910), and Bandura (1999) articles.

In this discussion you will assume the role of a Psychology instructor creating a short graduate level presentation on personality. The case study for the presentation will center on Phillip Markoff, also known as an alleged Craigslist Killer. To begin, choose one of the personality theories from the required readings and research a minimum of one peer-reviewed article on your chosen theory in the Ashford University Library. Create a PowerPoint presentation of four-seven slides (not including the title and reference slides). The presentation must begin with a Title slide that provides the title of the lecture, your name, the course name and number, your instructor’s name and the date submitted. The presentation must end with a Reference slide that includes all the resources used for your lecture presentation cited in APA format as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

The body of the presentation must include the following elements.

Provide a definition and brief description of the chosen theory.

Evaluate Phillip Markoff’s personality from the standpoint of your chosen theory.

Explain how the chosen theoretical perspective provides insights into Markoff’s behavior.

For assistance in creating effective PowerPoint presentations you may access Garr Reynolds’s Top Ten Slide Tips . Be certain to support your statements within the presentation with a minimum of three references. These may include up to two required resources for this week.

Once you have created your PowerPoint, you will present your lecture in a screencast. You may use any screencasting software you choose. (Quick-start guides are available for Screenr , Screen-Cast-O-Matic for your convenience.) It is recommended that you create a script for, and practicing your lecture presentation before recording it as you will be limited to a screencast of no more than five minutes. Although you are required to include the Title and Reference slides in the presentation, you should not read these slides during the screencast.

Create the screencast of your lecture presentation using the software of your choice. Attach your PowerPoint presentation to your initial post and copy and paste the URL for your screencast into your discussion forum response before submitting it.

To me social science interdisciplinary analysis is the study of multiple social sciences (Psychology, Gerontology, Biology, Political Science, Economics Anthropology, and Sociology) and using two or more of these disciplines and their concepts and theories and blend them together to create an informed statement or opinion.

The news article I found to show social science interdisciplinary analysis was a research article on how single grandparents are given custody of their grandchildren and what effect it may cause to them as an aging adult. This is an example because it blends and analyzes several social science disciplines. Gerontology, psychology and sociology.

Concept of Cultural materialism mentioned in the book were.

Cultural RelativismFranz Boas, a pioneer of modern anthropology in the early twentieth century, promoted the idea of cultural relativism, stating that an anthropologist cannot compare two cultures because each culture has its own internal rules that must be accepted. Everyone sees other cultures through the lens of their own culture. For example, if you were born and raised in the United States, you might view Canada differently than if you were born and raised in Canada. Boaz urged anthropologists to understand cultures on their own terms and avoid snap judgments about other practices. Cultural relativism was a response to cultural evolutionism (the theory that all cultures evolve from “savage” to “barbarian” to “civilized”), which assumed an ethnocentric view that nineteenth-century European culture was superior to all others
