Also consider the impact that the Cold War had at home particularly on American culture and society. Reflect deeper on the state of American society in this time period; on the social economic and technological gains but also on the inequalities that existed particularly those discussed inThe House We Live In.Think about how this period which was a golden era for some created the need for movements such as the Civil Rights Movement the American Indian Movement the Womens Movement and movements for immigrants rights such as the National Farm Workers Association and Chicano Movement.ConsultThe Anatomy of a Discussion Boardas well asCritical Thinking: A Guide to Skillful Reasoningas you formulate your response.Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length.

Assignment 9

Discussion Questions II

All assignments MUST be typed and double-spaced, in APA style and must be written at graduate level English. The content, conciseness and clarity of your answers will be considered in the evaluation of your work. You must use and integrate the material presented in the course text and cite your work according to APA format. Use of outside resources can be used to enhance the text information, but cannot replace the text.

Respond to each question in 1- 1 ½ pages per question.
Total assignment should be 4-6 pages total plus a Title and Reference Page

Do not copy the questions in your responses. See APA style on how to create Topic Headings.  Suggested Topic Headings follow each question.  You may use them or create your own.

Question One: Consider the Research by Zhu, Ziang, Fan, and Han in the text on Cross-Cultural Differences in Brain Activation When Considering the Self.  What does it mean to have a self-concept that is so fused with representations of others?  What does it mean to have a self-concept that is NOT fused with representations of others?  What might the behavioral implications be?
Suggested Topic Heading: Self-Concept and Cross-Cultural Differences

Question Two: Some psychologists have suggested that while individuals tend to use traits to describe themselves and others, this merely tells us something about the cognitive functioning of individuals and about their interpersonal perceptions– it does not tell us that traits represent the best tools for the scientific analysis of personality. How important is the fact that the layperson finds the trait a useful construct? If we accept the importance of the layperson’s use of this construct for theory development, does this also commit us to accepting the specific trait names and categorizations used by the layperson (e.g., honest, aggressive, sympathetic)?
Suggested Topic Heading: Trait Constructs

Question Three: Big five terms are great for describing differences between people. But are they also good for explaining people’s behavior? Is it reasonable to say that “Liz smiled and greeted people happily because she is an extravert”? Or is that similar to saying “It is sunny and warm in San Diego this week because San Diego has nice weather”? In other words, is this sort of “explanation” one that just takes you around in circles?
Suggested Topic Heading: The Five-Factor Model

Question Four: The text discusses research on brain systems involved in higher-level psychological functions, such as self-concept. How much do we learn about such psychological functions by studying the brain? In other words, since we know that some systems in the brain have to be involved in any psychological function, does an analysis of underlying neuroanatomy answer the most pressing questions about personality? Or does it leave unanswered critical questions about the ways in which these psychological capacities develop and function in the social world? In short: Can there be a neuroscience of personality?
Suggested Topic Heading: The Brain and Psychological Functions

Analyze the areas that were in need of reform in American Society during the period between 1890 and 1920

/in /by

As you learn about American Imperialism and the Progressive Era, think about the relationship between these two historical developments, comparing and contrasting Progressive policies at home with their policies abroad. Consider the areas of American society and economy in need of reform during the first two decades of the 20th century. Think about the domestic issues on which the Progressive Movement focused, such as food safety, worker’s safety, women’s rights, economic inequality, and taxes. Evaluate their approach to these issues. Think about the factors that contributed to American Imperialism and America’s expanding role in the world. Consider the importance of the expansion of the Navy, the technological advancements, the need for markets brought on by the Industrial Revolution, and the experience of the peoples in America’s imperial holdings. Take the time to notice President Theodore Roosevelt’s role in promoting American Imperialism. Consider the stances that progressives took on various issues, were these stances consistent with the practice of imperialism? Consult The Anatomy of a Discussion Board as well as Critical Thinking: A Guide to Skillful Reasoning as you formulate your response. Write: After reading Chapters 4, 5, and 6 of the textbook, Chapter Nine ofThe Jungle, and watching To Conquer or Redeem,use these sources and the textbook to address the following questions: • Analyze the areas that were in need of reform in American Society during the period between 1890 and 1920. Choose one specific issue to focus on. • Describe how progressives tried to resolve this issue. Were they successful? Explain why or why not. • Examine the approaches progressives took regarding American foreign policy, including the policy of Imperialism. Explain these approaches. • Explain why the progressive approach to reform at home was or was not consistent with the practice of imperialism overseas.
