Collaboration is an important practice, both in your academic and professional career. Anthropologists often collaborate with their colleagues, during research studies, at conferences, etc. This collaboration can lead to substantial anthropological advances and serves as an excellent professional development tool. Throughout this course, you will collaborate with your classmates, as you would with colleagues in the field by sharing ideas, resources, interesting connections to the assigned readings, and general revelations.
You will be required to create a digital scrapbook that will be used throughout the course. This scrapbook is a venue for you to share photos, links to articles, videos, and anything else that may be pertinent to the course. Each week the collaboration focus will be on topics that are relevant to different aspects of your final assignment.
Continue using one of the following options for your digital scrapbook:
Padlet (Links to an external site.)
Canva (Links to an external site.)
Wakelet (Links to an external site.)
Lino (Links to an external site.)
By Day 3, share a minimum of three resources you may find beneficial in your final research paper in your scrapbook.
In the discussion forum area, collaborate on the following topics:
Explain why you think there are so many different types of gender theories.
Identify any particular gender theories that resonated with you and caused you to think about gender from a different perspective.
Share a link to your scrapbook so that your classmates can provide feedback and insight and to share your ideas.

Identify a social problem. Explain the criteria you used to define this as a social problem

/in /by

Policy Analysis Final Project Part A & B (40 Points)

Students will write a 13 to 15-page paper. The paper must address a social problem and be social policy analysis focused. Specifically, you should highlight issues that are of concern directly or indirectly to children and families. Students should address the following two areas and then make an integration of both into a final paper. You will have peer reviewed feedback at each stage.

Part A: Identifying and explaining social problems DUE 10/11/20

  1. Identify a social problem. Explain the criteria you used to define this as a social problem—how do you know it is a social problem, not private issue. What are the values laden in the definition of this social problem?
  2. Using an ecological framework, offer explanations about why and how come this problem exists. Be thorough. Particular emphasis should be placed on issues of discrimination, oppression, marginalization of diverse groups such as people of color, low socio-economic status or class, migrant workers, etc. In doing this, make sure that you don’t oversimplify the problems—an ecological perspective explains social problems by integrating all levels in the framework. This is not simply descriptive, you must offer explanations on Why? How come? Why not? In what ways?
  3. Discuss the concept of “worthy and “unworthy” as related to the general public, availability of services, cost/benefits, etc. Who defines who is worthy or unworthy? What criteria have you identified to determine worthiness? For example, how do you know that a group is considered “worthy” or “unworthy?” (Social workers do not consider any human being “unworthy,” nonetheless we don’t meet the needs of groups of individuals. Given this, how are these groups considered “worthy?”)

Discuss how the various neuroimaging techniques are important for children with mental disorders and how imaging is used in conjunction with neuropsychological assessment.

/in /by

Prior to the late twentieth century, neuropsychological assessment was the main tool available to identify the location of brain damage (localization). Today, since imaging techniques are available to provide localization, what role do neuropsychologists play in the research, assessment, and treatment of children and adolescents? Additionally, discuss how the various neuroimaging techniques are important for children with mental disorders and how imaging is used in conjunction with neuropsychological assessment. Provide examples to support your thinking. When responding to your peers, consider how your career choice relates to examples posted by your peers.
you can use an sources as long as they are current or with in the last 10 years. thank you!

Evaluate the way this perspective explains the behaviour using any relevant key themes and debates.

Analyse means to examine in detail the contribution the perspective makes to explaining the behaviour. Remember in the materials we identified the 4 important points of an analysis
o Keyassumptions
o Application
o Research(studiesbyPsychologiststosupport/refute) o Evaluation–e.gthemesanddebates,comparisontoother
perspectives and methodological issues
• If any of these steps are missed from your answer it will not meet all of the assessment criteria.
• The question asks for a range of perspectives – by this we mean three.
So you will complete this process of analysis three times (for three different perspectives).
• Make sure that you research the behaviours carefully before choosing which behaviour to consider. You have a choice of bystander behaviour and phobia and there are links below which will help with research on both of these. When you have chosen your
Subject: Psychology
Unit title: Psychological Perspectives and Behaviour
behaviour think about which three psychological perspectives you will analyse (you do not have to cover all of the perspectives).
• When planning your essay you will need to go through the 4 components of analysis three times (for each perspective) and also introduce and conclude your essay.
Suggested structure
Introduction
Briefly outline the behaviour and perspectives you are going to consider in your answer.
Perspective 1
Go through the key assumptions of the perspective and relate these to how the behaviour can be explained by this perspective. Outline any research evidence which supports this explanation. Evaluate the way this perspective explains the behaviour using any relevant key themes and debates.
Perspective 2
Go through the key assumptions of the perspective and relate these to how the behaviour can be explained by this perspective. Outline any research evidence which supports this explanation. Evaluate the way this perspective explains the behaviour using any relevant key themes and debates.
Perspective 3
Go through the key assumptions of the perspective and relate these to how the behaviour can be explained by this perspective. Outline any research evidence which supports this explanation. Evaluate the way this perspective explains the behaviour using any relevant key themes and debates.
Conclusion
Summarise the contribution of the three perspectives in explaining the behaviour.
It will be very important to plan your essay to using this structure to help but adding details of the specific assumptions, application, research and evaluation you will use in each paragraph.
