Color Perception

/in /by

Start the asssignment with, “For my sensation/perception phenomenon this week I chose (fill in the name of the phenomenon)” and then go on to give a brief description of who the phenomenon works  and describe your everyday example of the occurrence of the phenomenon and how it could have serious consequences. The phenomenon can be one occurring in persons not suffering any pathology (like the example below–pretty much everybody experiences what happens to our ability to differentiate colors and their brightness around dusk…it’s not abnormal at all) or it can be the result of a disorder or injury.

Theories Of Development And Application

/in /by

Description

In this assignment, you will explore and apply theories of development to your personal experiences.

Background

Understanding theories of development is key in psychology. All people proceed through specific areas of change and growth in key areas as they go through life. Whatever path we take in life, understanding theories of development will assist us in motivating and guiding others, as well as understanding ourselves.

Instructions

Apply the theories of development to your personal life experience by answeringeach of the following questions.

  1. Jean Piaget’s Stage Theory of Cognitive Development: At what age do you feel you entered the stage of Formal Operational Thought? Explain the stage briefly and then focus on providing examples of ways your thinking has shifted to indicate you have developed into this stage of reasoning. (For instance, provide an example of how your views of justice or morality have shifted as you’ve matured.)
  1. Developmental Stage Theory of Erik Erikson: Choose one stage from Erikson’s Developmental Stage Theory and apply it to your own life. Explain the stage, age that it occurs, and how the central challenge of that stage played out in your life. What was the outcome of this stage for you? Did anything happen in your life prior to that stage that affected the outcome? How does the outcome from that stage affect how you are today? Provide specific details that demonstrate your understanding of the stage you choose.
  1. Lawrence Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development: Considering the moral or ethical decisions that you have made in your life, describe one decision you made based on one of the three levels of moral development. Be sure to clearly explain the level of moral development and clearly identify the underlying ethical reasoning behind your decision. (For instance, you may explain a decision you made based on Preconventional morality when you were a child, or you may focus on a decision you made from a higher level of development as an adult.)
  1. Developmental Milestones: Motor Development. The unfolding of biological potential is known as “maturation.” Motor skill development in babies is mostly controlled by the process of maturation. Think about a child that you have known (yourself, your own child, a friend or family member). Describe how the child progressed from rolling over, to sitting, standing, and walking. At what age did each milestone occur? Did the development occur in a “typical” sequence based on what you’ve learned in your text? Is there anything that occurred in the child’s environment that either delayed motor development or facilitated it? What is the difference between “maturation” and “learning,” based on your readings and observation?

By Tuesday, March 5, 2016, submit your paper to the M3: Assignment 2 Dropbox.

Your response should be a 3–4-page Microsoft Word document written in a clear, concise, and organized manner. Be sure to demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., APA); and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

SUMMARY RESPONSE:

 

Your paper should be roughly 500 – 750 words –two to two-and-a-half typed pages (12 point font).

HERE IS THE INSTRUCTIONS< PLEASE READ BELOW

B. “Wealth Inequality in America”

For this summary-response paper you will discuss two videos, placing each one in its historical context. The first one, “America’s Distribution of Wealth,” presented in 1955 by Professor Clifton L. Ganus of Harding College, Searcy, Arkansas, purportedly demonstrates the widespread ownership of America’s basic wealth and the equitable distribution of national income at that time. The second, “Wealth Inequality in America,” summarizing the work of Michael Norton and Dan Ariely, professors at the business school of Harvard and Duke that shows that our perceptions of who has money and how much they have is quite skewed. Why are such different pictures presented of the distribution of wealth in the United States? How would you account for the inequality that exists and what, if anything, can be done to reduce the extent to which such inequality exists?

 

 

 

DISCUSSION POST? (READ BELOW for instructions)

2. About 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related causes – that is one person every 3.6 seconds. This is down from 35,000 ten years ago, and 41,000 twenty years ago. Three-fourths of the deaths are children under the age of five. Go to “The Hunger Site”.  Browse through this site and read about world hunger – use the drop-down menu “News and Info” located across the top of the page. Look also at “Click Results” using the “About Us” drop-down menu. Summarize and comment on this information. How do you account for the fact that more people “click” daily on the “Animal Rescue Site” (check this site – it is listed at the top of the web page) than the hunger site?
