...When examining the concept of race, it can be said that it is constantly fluctuating because of different factors. Race can be defined as a variable that is shaped by broader societal forces, whether it is political, social or economic forces. It is also important that views on race differ from country to country because of different agendas, whether it be to exert dominance or power over other groups. Race can be considered as a social construction because it is used to maintain hierarchies, as seen through it’s lack of biological support and shifting societal views on race. Race is a social construction because it is constantly changing due to shifting societal views on race. First, it is important to note that a socially constructed concept is an idea that is defined as “a perception of a group, individual or idea that is constructed through cultural or social practice” (Dictionary.com). In other words, society creates an idea of what race is, and how races should be distinguished from one another. Race does not have a consistent definition, and can change based on the society that is being examined. In “Racial Formations”, Omi and Winant discuss the use of race as a social concept and conclude that the definition is not rigid, but is used to maintain domination. Omi and Winant believe that this domination is a result of racial formation”, or the “process in which race operates as a central axis of social relations, which then determine social, economic and political institutions...

...more time playing video games than watching television. There are many perspectives with which to gauge videos games’ effect on society, from a functionalist, conflict or interactionist perspective. (Schaefer, 2011) Each of these sociological theories can provide a different view of video games, how they affect society and the subcultures that develop around them. The functionalist perspective would emphasize the way in which the parts of a society are structured to maintain its stability. (Schaefer, 2011) A functionalist may point out the manifest functions of video games as a facilitator of social interaction among friends, or the function of educational games in younger children. The functionalist may also observe latent functions, such as improving hand-eye coordination, or even unintended educational aspect of video games not intended for children (such as police coming and arresting the player character when crimes are committed in games, mirroring the real-life consequences of one’s actions) A functionalist can also characterize video games as a dysfunction I n society, with individuals neglecting other responsibilities in favor of playing the games, or stating that the games encourage violent or antisocial behaviors. The conflict theory would focus on tensions between groups (Schaefer, 2011), so someone analyzing video games from a conflict perspective may study the debate between those who characterize video games, and particularly violent video games, as a drain...

How applicable are their theories to the African context. ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Due Date: 15 March 2012 Concept formation according to Muthivhi, (2009) refers to the development of ideas based on the common properties of objects, events or qualities using the process of abstraction. Jean Piaget (1896-1980) and Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934) proposed the classical constructivist theories of concept formation or cognitive development. Their contributions to developmental psychology, albeit different, are similarly remarkable and unique. These two theories have some noted resemblances and differences. This essay will give an overview of these two theories, outlining their similarities and differences and their applicability to the African context with special reference to the Zimbabwean context. In Jean Piaget’s research, the main goal was to answer the question,...

After learning about the separation of the objects and distinguish between different entities, then children may develop the ability of the attaching names to the objects The Preoperational Stage: At this stage, children learn through imagine play yet at the same time the children are in a struggle with rational decisions and they may feel it very difficult to understand the perspective of other individuals living around them.

...going back to the specifics of what he said and wrote. By reference to what they said of each other it is argued that by the early 30s they had reached almost identical positions regarding child development, and that the work of each is complementary to that of the other. The implications of this position for a theory of intervention for cognitive acceleration are then discussed. 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction As we know from investigations of the process of concept formation, a concept is more than the sum of certain associative bonds formed by memory, more than a mere mental habit; it is a complex and genuine act of thought that cannot be taught by drilling, but can be accomplished only when the child’s mental development has itself reached the requisite level.

...it comes to life span development you have to understand what it is and where it comes from or even how it got its name. As it was said by Boyd and Bee that life span development is the name that psychologists have given to the physical and cognitive changes that occur throughout a person’s life (Boyd & Bee, 2009). So I will be first explaining the life span of development, along with summarizing two different theories of life span development, and then the last one is just explaining how heredity and the environment interact to produce individual difference in the development. So what is life span development it is the study of which human development is the changes that do occur within each different period of one’s development and along with the changes they must be interpreted into terms in which the culture and the context do a occur. So it truly beings with conception and birth, because it has stages just like the transition stage that one goes through from childhood to adulthood. With this perspective it has the very same level of important to a person’s changes that lead into adulthood, in which had been just focused on changes in ones childhood instead. It can even be characterized in different things such as interdisciplinary research, multi contextual along with just emphasis on plasticity as well. The two theories that I have chosen are controversial theories and cognitive theory as well. So I will start with the controversial theory the person that it responsible...

She was sleep while the water was running and it felt good. So when they turned off the water, she woke up and turned the water back on. As she feels the water running, she goes back to sleep. She repeats this several times. The running water was a stimulus because it soothes her to sleep. Maya understands object permanence because she was able to retrieve the toy that was completely hidden by the blanket. Simon understands object permanence because he is aware that the toy still exist even though he can't see it. However, he does have a visible displacement problem. Even though he saw the toy being placed under the white blanket, he looked under the blue blanket where he saw it last not where he watched them place it. What Piaget meant by the “real problem” in education is ultimately what is the main goal of education. Should educated children to be one-minded “active learners” and only teach children what they already know are capable of learning? Or educate children to be “little...

...Ashley Knop Early LCC Paper Nurs 165 Visit February 17, 2009 Submitted February 26, 2009 Ashley Knop Nursing 165 Early LCC Paper Child development is a very complex process that requires great attention and organization. This process has been researched by multiple theorists. Each theorist has a different idea on the stages of development. The two theorists that will be focused on in this paper are Erikson and Piaget. Erikson believes that there are five different stages of development which include; infant (birth-1yr), toddler (1-3yrs), preschooler (3-6yrs), school age (6-12yrs), and adolescent (12-18yrs). Piaget on the other hand believed that there was only four different stages of development which include; infant (birth-2yrs), toddler (2-7yrs), preschooler (7-11yrs), and school-age (11-adulthood). Erikson labels each of his stages differently. The infant stage is labeled trust vs. mistrust and states that this is when the child develops a basic trust in the mothering figure. The toddler stage is labeled as autonomy vs. shame and doubt and this is when the child gains some self control and independence within the environment. The preschool stage is labeled as initiative vs. guilt and this is when the child develops a sense of purpose and ability to initiate and direct their own activities. The School-age stage is known as industry vs. inferiority which means that the child achieves a sense of self confidence by learning, competing, performing successfully and...

...Introduction Amazing. Fun. Thankful. Time of my life. An opportunity seized. Pivotal. These are the words that come to mind when I reflect on my college experience. From 1978 to 1982, I was making decisions and memories that would last a lifetime. Some aspects of this time period I have wished I could repeat, but for the most part, I am who I am today because of how my college experience has shaped me. In this paper I will share about the factors that most impacted my development during my college years, specifically in the areas of psychosocial, cognitive, and spiritual growth. Then, I will link those stories to the student development in college theories we are discussing in this class. Finally, I will reflect on the positive and negative impact of my college years as it relates to my own development today. Significant Factors Impacting My Development in College Three things stand out when I think about the factors that impacted my development in college: first, my decisive goal of what I wanted to get from college; second, how personal insecurity can limit opportunities; and third, how I found God. My goal for college was to get a job…plain and simple. My mother always told me that I would find what I was looking for in college. What she meant was that if I went looking for trouble, I would find trouble. If I looked for fun, I would find fun. If I sat around doing nothing, I would find nothing. She was right. I set out to find fun and life experience in college, and...

...Span Human Development Psychology 375 Professor Kathleen Phelps March 05, 2012 Life Span Perspective Paper No one brought evolution to light like Charles Darwin. His book, titled On the Origin of Species, offered compelling evidence for evolution within species and drew in large amounts of controversy. This controversy led to more and more field work and observations of nature. Eventually, Darwin’s research and studies turned to people and the study of the human life span (Beddall, 1968). The study of the human life span gained momentum in the years that followed the publishing of Darwin’s famous book as psychologists around the world developed different perspectives and theories regarding life span. The following examination focuses on explaining the life span perspective of development, summarizing two different theories of life span development, and offering an explanation to how heredity and the environment produce differences in overall development. The study of human development centers on how a person changes over a lifetime. A person starts life with the birth stage, and then moves through infancy, adolescence and puberty, adulthood, and finishes with death (Berger, 2008). Berger (2008) describes these changes as being linear, gradual, predictable, and sometimes steady. During their life spans, humans learn to communicate, work together, experience emotions, and how to survive. The life span perspective of development comes directly...

I will then summarize two of the theories of the life span development. I will list the four I will then explain how heredity and the environment interact to produce individual differences in development. I will then summarize everything that I have wrote in this paper in a conclusion of the paper. I will also list the references that I have used to write this paper. After several hours of research, I have put this paper together. I hope that you like it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Throughout this paper you will know how the life span development works and what all is entailed in it. You will be able to understand the two theories that I have chosen. You will also know how heredity and the environment interact to produce individual differences in development. Explain the life span perspective of development. The life span perspective is all about understanding all of the changes that take place throughout ones’ life and the changes have to be observed as a result of the culture and the situations that surround each change. Life span is also known as and referred to as being life-long changes that continue and is not based by just one age period. The life span perspective consists of physical, cognitive, and social domains. According to Santrock (1999), “Some aspects of our development increase while others decrease”...

...of Cognitive Development Jean Piaget is a Swiss developmental psychologist and philosopher known for his epistemological studies with children. Piaget believed that children play an active role in the growth of intelligence. He regarded children as philosophers who perceive the world as he or she experiences it (ICELS). Therefore in Piaget’s most prominent work, his theory on the four stages of cognitive development, much of his inspiration came from observations of children. The theory of cognitive development focuses on mental processes such as perceiving, remembering, believing, and reasoning. Through his work, Piaget showed that children think in considerably different ways than adults do and as such he saw cognitive development as a progressive reorganization of mental processes resulting from maturation and experience (1973). To explain this theory, Piaget used the concept of stages to describe his development as a sequence of the four following stages: sensory – motor, preoperational, concrete operations, and formal operations. There are three elements however to understanding his theory of cognitive development. They are schema, the fours process that enable transition from on stage to another, and finally the four stages themselves. He began his studies by making naturalistic observations. Piaget made careful, detailed observations of children, typically his own children or their friends, from these he wrote diary descriptions charting their development. He also conducted...
