Question Two
In this discussion forum, you will address the idea of biased language and how it impacts attitudes, behaviours, and perceptions, especially in online interactions. Attitudes refer to liking or disliking something, behaviours describe actions people do (speaking, moving, etc.), and perception relates to how humans think or process information or stimuli.
For your initial post, you must do the following:
- Use and cite Bevan (Section 4.1) to define and explain biased language.
- Share an example of biased language you have seen in some computer-mediated interaction.
- Answer the following three questions:
- How does biased language reflect the attitudes, behaviours, and perception of the sender?
- How might biased language impact the attitudes, behaviours, and perception of the receiver of the content, and/or the sender, or both?
- What is the significance of biased language in computer-mediated contexts specifically?
For this discussion forum, your initial post should be 300 to 350 words in length.
Question Three
PLEASE USE THE ATTACHED APA TEMPLATE TO DO THIS.
In preparation for this assignment watch the video “A Class Divided” located at: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/class-divided/ (Links to an external site.).
Prepare a 750-1,000-word paper in which you address the following:
- What stage of Piaget’s development are the children in this video in? Give some evidence (other than the children’s age) to support that children are functioning in this stage. Is this a good way to teach children in this age group? Why or why not?
- How do you see self-fulfilling prophecy and learned helplessness portrayed in this video?
- How was the self-esteem of the children effected by participating in this study? Why do you think the children’s test scores rose after participating in this experiment?
- Give an example of how operant conditioning, classical conditioning and social observational learning were shown in this video. Be specific in your discussion. For the discussion of classical conditioning, please write out the process.
- How can you use Piaget’s theory and Kohlberg’s theory to explain the different reactions of the adults and children during this study?
- Which theory (theories) of personality can help us understand the behaviour of the students in this video? Support your answer with a strong discussion of that theory.
Note: Your paper should follow APA format and include a title page and a reference page.
Question Four
- List the three approved learning frameworks currently used in Australia and the websites they can be retrieved from: Approved Learning Framework Website
- 2. Explain the differences between the approved learning frameworks identified in question 1: (25-50 words)
- 3. Describe in your own words the two functions of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) in relation to children’s education and care.
Question Five (Slender Man Review)
Major Written Assignment - The Slender Man
- Assessment task title: Major Written Assignment - The Slender Man
Due date: 1st June at 11.55pm
Details of task: Major written assignment - The Slender Man
You are required to write a 2700-word essay in response to the following provocation:
Fact or fiction. Truth and lies. Does it matter? Events like the Slender Man case are inevitable in the 21st century.
In preparing your essay you should:
- Choose two theorists you want to focus on. Theorists can be drawn from the unit, or can be other behavioural theorists you have become interested in (subject to teacher approval). Your aim should be to use several original works from the theorists you have chosen.
Theorist include:
Sigmund Freud, Anna Freud, Karen Horney, Carl Jung [bold one is which ones I want to pick]
2. Focus on the Slender Man case, but you may wish to branch out and consider other comparable occurrences.
3. Make an argument for why the events in the Slender Man case have occurred. Collapse of societal norms? Children not being supervised? Mental illness in society? Insecure attachment styles? Violence in the media? Study hard and be bold in finding your argument!

Question Six
What effects does borderline personality disorder have on cognition? Are people with borderline
personality disorder cognitively impaired? Critically evaluate the literature and, based on research
evidence, present a strong argument that justifies your conclusions
Question Seven
terms/concepts as appropriate.
Following the study of skin biology and biological adaptations of populations, you are asked to visit the website and read the statement of the American Anthropology Association, prepared to educate the public about the misguided construction of “race” as a discredited concept in biology.
WHAT TO WRITE
Part B. Respond to Questions About the Film
- *What are the specific trait variations and adaptations described in the case above. *How are these trait variations explained? What variables are involved? Be complete with least 3 key points.
- Describe scientific method (steps) used by the researcher (Jablonski) to develop explanation of the biology of variations in skin pigmentation in populations in different environments.
- Name 2 other human traits that vary between populations and can be explained as biological “adaptations” of human populations and examples of natural selection? (Chapter 6) Anatomical characteristics/ blood types, etc.
************
Part C. Race, the American Anthropology Association, and the Legacy of Franz Boas (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.)
1. Go to the American Anthropological Association (AAA) Race Project website: http://www.understandingrace.org/ (Links to an external site.) > (Links to an external site.) Explore the 3 major parts of the presentation: History, Human Variation, Lived Experience for “overview” of this project.
2.On the link “Human Variation”, carefully read through each of the 5 topics (1. “the human spectrum”; 2. “race and human variation”; 3. health connections; 4. “our molecular selves”; and 5. “only skin deep”)
For each topic, summarize the content with vocabulary and major concepts, stating how this topic informs your understanding of the human biological variation and the anthropological critique of “biological race”.
This should be in 5 (numbered) separate paragraphs - can be in “bullet form”.
3. When you are ready, take the Human Variation Quiz (#6).
http://www.understandingrace.org/HumanVariationQuiz (Links to an external site.)
Your score will be provided: What was your Score? If you did not get all correct, identify the question(s) you did not immediately answer correctly and if you understand why.
4.Print out and read carefully: the AAA Statement on Race
Actions.
Identify 3 key points in this statement that reflect the current understanding and critique of “race” by the AAA.
(6 sentences.)
5. Conclude: Is this discussion topic relevant for your personal perspective and experience? What are 2 of the most surprising things for you [interesting or new information] in your engagement with the materials and activities learning about “human biological variation and the critique of biological race concept”. Do you understand the statement that “race is a discredited concept in biology”? [In sociology and cultural anthropology, race is researched as a social and cultural construct.]
If you would like to have more resources for study of race, the HCC library has access to the film, “Race the Power of an Illusion”.
***
Check to see if you have completed all parts of this discussion (do spelling and grammar check).
Then, post your discussion by 11:59 p.m. Monday, 3/2.
Once you have posted your discussion, respond with helpful and informative comments and additions to two of your classmates’ posts. Consider this as a thoughtful “peer review”. [evaluating and sometimes learning from their statements. Provide feedback about the accuracy and completeness of their discussion about “race, a discredited concept in biology” and the film, “Biology of Skin”. The idea is to discuss content and information – less focus on grammar. Responses should be minimum of 4 - 5 sentences.
