hello there…I have a paper that needs to be re written… and I will prove more info regarding this paper and what need to be done… its for my social work 381 class and ill be sending the details on what need to be done on this paper after the bid……..

Parenting choices are often based on what we are familiar with from our own family or childhood experience. However, decisions are often made without any regard to why we are responding a certain way. Babies do three primary things in the first couple of months after birth; they eat, cry, and sleep.

For this post, I want you to assume that I am a new mom who knows nothing about child development or caring for a child. Assume you are my nurse, or mentor, and advise me on how I should respond to and care for my new baby using at least two different theoretical approaches. Be sure your advice is based on learning from the readings, or presentations, and not based solely on your personal experience.

You may have a personal preference toward a particular theory and that is fine, but your advice should start with a statement such as, “Based on Erik Erikson’s theory of development……….” Please note that Learning Activities are intended to promote critical thinking within the course. I am looking for you to connect theory with practice for this blog entry.

Do not just describe the theory, but rather how that theory would guide the daily caretaking of a young infant. Based on the theory, how should I respond to the baby’s needs in the area of eating, sleeping, and crying? What specific strategies would each theorist recommend and why? Be sure to include both theoretical and practical advice based on what you learned in the reading and lectures for this chapter, and/or previous chapters.

COMPARING TWO SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT

OVERVIEW

This assignment focuses on starting a research log to collect notes to use for academic writing and research. A research log is a tool used to gather and organize information from various sources you have read. For this assignment, you will write notes in a research log about scholarly resources you have read during this course, and use those notes to compare two different schools of thought about human nature and behavior.

PREPARATION

A research log is valuable to your writing and research processes for many reasons. One benefit of a research log is you can use it to reflect upon information from various sources you have read over time without the need to read through the entire source again. Additionally, you can use a research log to identify themes in research which is a skill you will apply during the Week 10 assignment for this course, and throughout your academic program. To know more about this, view the following resources on Campus:

• Research Log.
• Reviewing the Literature.
• Psychology Ph.D. Library Research Guide – Researching Schools of Thought.

INSTRUCTIONS

Write a 2–3-page essay that compares and contrasts two different schools of thought in human nature and behavior. Select two schools of thought for your essay from this list.

• Mental testing movement.
• Behaviorism.
• Psychoanalytic theory (psychoanalysis).
• Humanistic psychology.
• Cognitive psychology.
• Psychobiology.

Address the questions below to compare and contrast how your two selected schools of thought about human nature and behavior differ from each other.

1. What factors do the two schools of thought about human nature and behavior share with each other in terms of their principles, values, subject matter, research approaches, and applied methods?
2. What factors distinguish the two schools of thought about human nature and behavior from each other in terms of their principles, values, subject matter, research approaches, and applied methods?

Remember, the focus of this comparison essay is comprehensive theories of human nature and behavior, and not psychotherapeutic techniques, for example, cognitive behavioral therapy or psychoanalytic therapy.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Length: 2–3 pages.
References: At least 4 references to this week’s readings.

After you study the class material (slides, the study guide), be sure to consult the reading/video links on correct EEG signal acquisition procedures posted in Week 8. Watch this video and write a short comment (between 250-350 words in length) in response to the following questions (the actual EEG part starts at around 2:45):

1. How would you rate the quality of the electrocap application (what is missing? What is the correct procedure?)
2. How does the EEG signal look to you? Does it look as it should? Why not?
3. Can you conclude that the EEG that you see is actually generated by Stephen Colbert’s brain? If not, why? How can you tell?

Please note that better grades will be given to comments with a higher quality of response (i.e. analytical substance), better understanding of the EEG methodology, higher overall clarity of thought and higher quality of writing.The goal of this homework is to apply your knowledge of the EEG method to evaluate its practical application and interpretation as popularized in the media.

Compose an argument of at least 1250 words that synthesizes at least 3 readings from our “Unit 2: Classical Argument” readings (Weeks 5, 6, 7) and includes an original thesis/argument.
