The purpose of this 3 – 5 page paper is to gain a better understanding of how you developed into the person you are. You will gain insight by examining an experience from your past. Specifically, you will:

a. Write a detailed desrption of a significant life event that has shaped how you think about other people or yourself. Describe your thoughts, feelings and behavior, and explain why this experience was so important.

b. Analyze the experience using material provided in your textbook related to the psychologys current perspectives (neuroscience, evolutionary, behavioral genetics, psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, and socio-cultural), which are summarized on page 7 of the textbook and expanded in modules later in the book. Specifically, identify which perspective best explains why this experience was so influential in your life. Support your choice. More than one perspective may be chosen. To earn full points, you should try to address all of the terms on the attached list for your chosen perspective/s.

For example: Take a concept from one perspective, such as punishment or reinforcement from behaviorism, and search your experience for an example. Do the same for all other concepts. Weave these concepts into a discussion/analysis of your experience to demonstrate you understand what they mean.

***IMPORTANT*** The application of the perspective(s) is worth over half of the points of the paper (50 points out of 90 points total). That means that the analysis of the perspective application should be over half of your paper. If you only mention which perspective you think fits or write a short paragraph, the assignment will receive a failing grade. This is why the term list has been provided for you. It should guide your writing and give you ideas of what to talk about. Be sure to choose a topic that fits well with at least one of the perspectives. If it doesnt…choose another topic. The goal of this paper is to prove that you understand the perspective/s well enough to analyze a real life situation through its lens.

Instructions will be uploaded later.

Essay 2: Writing to Explain and Define

Writing is always, at least to a certain extent, subjective, growing as it does from a personal motivation,
determination, thought, or experience. But even as that is so, writing should also always remain mindful of
itself as an object. That is, writing should always acknowledge that it serves a purpose and presents itself
as an object for fulfilling that purpose. To that end, then, a writer must remember two things: that the form
of this object depends upon that purpose and that the purpose of the object is dependent on the audience that
will read it.

Thus it would be that the writing that at times seems most subjective is also and inevitably the most objective
as well. Consider, for example, an email you might write or a job application you might submit. Think, too, of
the sorts of letters you are asked to write when applying for college admission or to receive a scholarship to
go there. These writings must simultaneously attend to what you as writer are trying to convey, and at the same
time, must honor and meet the demands of the audience. This assignment is designed to give you practice in
achieving that simultaneity! More specifically, this assignment asks you to adopt a particular and distinctive
persona/voice as writer and to write in that persona/voice to a particular and distinctive audience. Now this
persona/voice can, of course, be your own, though it can also be one of your own crafting. What is important,
though, is that you, in your writing, clearly meet the audiences needs. And, for the purpose of this assignment,
those needs are to have something explained and/or defined.

Topic: The readings in Chapter 11 all address The Fate of the Earth and attempt to answer the question,
Can We Preserve the Global Environment? Your task, in essay form, is to adopt a particular stance on this
issue, determine a specific audience to hear this issue, and write an essay in which you clearly, carefully,
thoughtfully, and well answer that question.

Responsibilities:
Use MLA format, including heading, header, and appropriate font.
Aim for at least 3 pages of double-spaced text.
Offer at least three quotations or paraphrases from your chosen texts.
Provide parenthetical citations for these quotations or paraphrases. That is, put the page number of the
quotation or paraphrase in parentheses at the end of the sentence in which the quotation or paraphrase appears.
If you are familiar with the task of preparing a Works Cited page, then go ahead and provide one; otherwise,
you may leave it out for this essay, since we will be discussing that component of MLA format for Essay 3.

Other things:
Be sure to review all the information related to essay writing provided. This includes
the chapters in your (optional) handbook, and the pages in your textbook.

Your Essay 2 should show careful attention to the process of essay writing. That is, though I will not be
asking you to submit a rough draft along with the final draft you submit, your final draft should show that you
have thoughtfully considered matters related to revision.

Grading Criteria: I will primarily be looking at these things: specificity of content, organization of ideas,
development of discussion, format of work, and style of presentation.

Discuss sources of bias for both quantitative and qualitative research. For quantitative research, be sure to address both random and systematic bias. You may use examples from the articles you selected as illustrations of bias and/or preventing bias.
