The nature/nurture debate within psychology is concerned with the extent to which particular aspects of behavior are a product of either inherited (genetic) or acquired (learned) characteristics. This exercise will help you explore that debate by looking at one specific behavior, aggression. Bandura’s (1977) social learning theory states that aggression is learned from the environment through observation and imitation (nurture). He concludes this, in part, from the results of his famous Bobo doll experiment (Bandura, 1961). Review the Bobo experiment here: Bobo Experiment.  Reflect on the following issues: Where do you stand on the nature/nurture debate? Is aggression a learned behavior? Please provide specific examples to your point of view. Discuss your thoughts on the experiment and its relevance to the debate. Do you see any potential flaws or underlying factors that may not be reflected in the analysis here? Suggest at least one implication for society if children do learn predominantly by imitation.   Write a 2–3 page paper (not including the title page and reference page) referencing at least two sources (you may cite the website provided here for the Bobo doll experiment as one of your sources. Refer to the Bobo doll experiment, but do not summarize it.) Use current APA Style and include a title page and reference page. See rubric for specific grading criteria.

I had created a thesis statement in the proposal(see below), professor required me be specific for the thesis statement. Please see the proposal and the comment from professor below. 1. The paper should be 12 point font, 4-5 pages double-spaced, MLA or similar academic citation format including Works Cited or equivalent. 2. Include a title. 3. Analyze two or more direct quotes from our assigned readings(The assigned reading is the uploaded files.), with proper citations.  *****4. One clear central argumentative claim should be presented in the introduction in the form of a thesis statement. This thesis should be narrowly defined to be supportable by the citable evidence and analysis you have to usher in its support in the body of the paper. 5. The paper should not include the words “we” or “they” outside of quoted material or vague phrases describing groups of people such as “those people” or “the media.” Be specific. This constraint is meant to encourage a formal tone and an appeal that does not rely on assumptions about the subjects and the readers of your paper that tend to creep in when they are framed as vague “us” vs. “them”  arguments. 6. The paper should avoid broad historical, social, and cultural generalizations that are difficult or impossible to back up while using your space to develop and support a narrow, well-defined thesis. If you want to compare old and new media, pick specific examples that you can actually analyze and for which you have direct evidence or examples available. If you want to broach broader questions based on your tightly focused work in the short paper, consider adding these as suggestions for further research in your conclusion. Final paper proposal:  ~Questions: Since more and more people tend to change their reading way from traditional books to enhanced e-book and multimedia e-book. In my second paper, I would like to explore whether the new media will eat the old media alive in the new way people read? ~Quotes from the assigned reading: “Our culture wants both to multiply its media and to erase all traces of mediation: ideally, it wants to erase its media in the very act of multiplying them.” (Bolter, Grusin, P5) “Older electronic and print media are seeking to reaffirm their status within our culture as digital media challenge that status. Both new and old media are invoking the twin logics of immediacy and hypermediacy in their efforts to remake themselves and each other.” (Bolter, Grusin, P5) “No medium today, and certainly no single media event, seems to do its cultural work in isolation from other social and economic forces. What is new about new media comes from the particular ways in which they refashion older media and the ways in which older media refashion themselves to answer the challenges of new media.” (Bolter, Grusin, P5) ~Draft Thesis: New media will not eat the old media alive in the new way people read. ~Evidence:  “The digital medium can also be more aggressive in its remediation. It can try to refashion the older medium or media entirely, while still marking the presence of the older media and therefore maintaining a sense of multiplicity or hypermediacy.”(Bolter. Jay, P66) “the new medium can remediate by trying to absorb the old medium entirely.”(Bolter. Jay, P67) “ Like every form of new media, they depend on earlier media for their definition of the immediacy of the experience that they provide.”(Bolter. Jay, P71) Bolter, Jay David. ‘Remediation and the Desire for Immediacy’,Convergencevol. 6, (2000), pp. 62-71.https://summitsguide.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/bolter-remediation-and-desire-for-immediacy.pdf The comments from the Professor: “What are these “new media”? This would seem like a huge assortment of possible technologies and systems, way too much to make any kind of persuasive statement about as an undifferentiated mass. How might you reframe this paper as an inquiry into the relation between a specific “new” medium and an existing one that it seems aimed toward replacing? What elements of the old medium does the new medium utilize? Be specific. ” The ideas here might be useful : http://mastersofmedia.hum.uva.nl/blog/2010/09/04/remediation-will-new-media-eat-older-media-alive/

Social Construction of GenderSocialization and the Social constructs of genderGender and familiesSocial Interaction in Everyday LifeA fundamental feature of social life is social interaction, or the ways in which people act with other people and react to how other people are acting. To recall John Donne, “no one is an island”. This means that all individuals, except those who choose to live truly alone, interact with other individuals virtually every day and often many times in any one day. For social order, a prerequisite for any society, to be possible, effective social interaction must be possible. Partly for this reason, sociologists interested in microsociology have long tried to understand social life by analyzing how and why people interact the way they do.Social Constructions of RealitySocial construction focuses on how meaning is created, and that knowledge is a social product, collaboratively created by society. As a member of society, the individual is placed within various power hierarchies, and create meaning within their environment.The sociological concept of reality as a social constructDefine roles and describe their place in people’s daily interactionsExplain how individuals present themselves and perceive themselves in a social contextDescribe what is meant by dramaturgy and by impression management.Provide examples of role conflict or role strain.Explore  gender differences in nonverbal communication.Describe the difference between a status and a role in everyday life.The difference between an ascribed status, an achieved status, and a master status in everyday life.

Your final assignment will be a 4- to 5-page Review and Reflection, similar to the Book Chapter Review assignment above, but more substantial insofar as it requires you to reflect on the course overall.  Guidelines are as follows: Choose another chapter from The Book that Made Your World (a different chapter than the one chose for the Book Chapter Review). Very briefly introduce the author, the book, and the chapter. Describe/ define the cultural issue at hand. Discuss the Christian response to the cultural issue, according to the author and what you have learned about Christianity. E.g.: What does the Bible say about this issue? How is the Christian church responding to this issue? How is the secular world responding to this issue? What might be the reason for the differing approaches? Describe your personal reaction to the ideas set forth in the chapter. E.g.: Do you agree with the author on how the issue is framed? Is something missing? Do you agree with the Christian response? Is the Christian response realistic? Do the ideas in the chapter align with or challenge your idea of Christianity? Have you seen examples of the Christian response in “real life”? Discuss how this chapter ties into what you have learned in this class overall. E.g.: Has anything changed about the way you view Christianity? Has anything changed about the way you view your own culture? Has anything changed about the way you view other cultures? Has anything changed about the way you see yourself? Based on what you have learned, how might you be a better leader? You may use outside sources to support your ideas, give examples, or enrich your paper.  However, do not rely too heavily on outside sources or your paper will become a report on something other than your selected chapter and what you have learned in this course. Use your own ideas, experience, and future goals to respond to the ideas in the chapter and ideas in this class. Your story matters! The Final Review and Reflection is due no later than Thursday, December 3, 2020. NOTE: You are strongly advised to view the rubric used to grade this assignment, which is labeled “Final Review & Reflection FA20”
