Short Paper: Gender Dysphoria

Based on the articles on gender dysphoria, write a short paper about the influence of acceptance, parenting styles, and how these can directly steer a child’s gender identity.
Moreover, think about society today and acceptance of varied gender roles compared to the 1950s. What is different today in parenting styles compared to the 1950s? Additionally, think about the criteria and changes made in the DSM in the most recent version (DSM-5) compared to earlier, outdated versions.
Also, consider and explore society’s influence on gender dysphoria in your argument. Is there a direct correlation to gender identity and society or not?
Paper should be 3-5 full pages and 3 resources formatted in APA.

Part 1: Writing a Play

Read the articles assigned for this topic and conduct additional research on the Internet or through the GCU Library. Use your knowledge to write a one-act play about a small group of friends.

Through the dialogue, the children should exhibit evidence of being in the concrete-operational period of cognitive development.

Be as creative in the dialogue of your scene as you can, remembering that at this stage, children, according to the textbook, become “less egocentric, rarely confuse appearances with reality, and are able to reverse their thinking.”

Set the scene and include acting and stage direction, if necessary and appropriate.

Your creative work should be between 500-750 words.

Give your play a name.

Part 2: Summary

Write a summary of approximately 200 to 300 words in which you analyze and explain ethical and cultural strategies for promoting resilience, optimum development, and wellness in middle childhood.
