Effects of Physical Development on Adolescents

/in /by

Question Description

You probably noted from the Learning Resources this week the interrelationship between the processes and constructs of development, in relation to adolescent development. Cognitive changes, including hypothetico-deductive reasoning, metacognitive skills, and more complex forms of thinking impact how an adolescent perceives and reacts to the world. Higher-order thinking contributes to how romantic and peer relationships are established and maintained.
Think back to your experiences as an adolescent and the feelings and thoughts you had regarding your developing body. How did your burgeoning cognitive abilities impact your adjustment to the effects of puberty? Did the imaginary audience and personal fable have any impact on your behavior and beliefs? Keep these questions in mind as you examine the effects of physical development on adolescents in this Assignment.
For this Assignment:In a 2- to 3-page paper:

  • Create a scenario of an adolescent of either gender in which you describe the person, the physical changes he or she experiences, and the effect of those changes on his/her sexuality and relationships.
  • Describe the culture of the individual in the scenario.
  • Explain the influences of culture on the development of adolescence.

Course Description
The central purpose of this course is to offer in a broad and an interdisciplinary framework for
understanding of business and trade exchanges in the Global South. The following questions
guide the course:
1) Are business practices in the Global South done differently? If so, in what way are they done
differently?

inclusion and exclusion in the Global South?
4) Currently, the Global South is experiencing a problem of large scale human displacement that
is generating migrants and refugees. How are these migrants and refugees included and excluded
in business?
In order to address these questions, we will focus on selected examples from different Global
South countries. Throughout the course we will examine how ordinary people in the Global South

business.

vi) To appreciate the diversity of socio-economic and cultural forms found in the Global South
and to discuss how they shape social interaction in business.

Psychology Stress Effects On Cognitive Functions

/in /by

Question Description

Consider the work of an air traffic controller or an emergency room physician. Both jobs require alertness, quick thinking, and sound judgment in the making of a constant stream of life-or-death decisions. This process occurs with every worker’s shift, day after day. Imagine the impact of such an ongoing responsibility on cognitive functioning.
Stress has profound effects on cognitive functions, such as decision making, occasionally altering the brain in surprising ways. Stress symptoms may lead to prominent clinical characteristics, which often go beyond anxiety and fear. Stress hormones can affect neurotransmitter systems in the brain, causing physical changes in some cases. The hippocampus, for example, can atrophy as a result of chronic stress.
For this Discussion, consider effects of stress on cognitive functions. Then think about a time when stress affected your cognitive functions.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post a brief explanation of how stress affects cognitive functions, including the roles of the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex. Then provide examples of situations when stress affected your attention, memory, problem solving, or decision making. Finally, explain how you might mitigate the effects of stress on cognitive functions.
Support your response using at least scholarly 3 references. APA Format. 2-3 paragraphs.

Create a 4- to 5-page report in Microsoft Word that covers the investigation and the effects of the case on the community with regards to the following points:

Current Issues and Their Effects on Families

/in /by

Question Description

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review this week’s Learning Resources.
  • Reflect on the ways that the issues discussed may affect various members of families who enter counseling.
  • Review the DVD segment “Issues Related to Couples and Families,” with Drs. Pete and Linda Palmo. Consider the potential issues that emerge for families who are undergoing or have experienced divorce and/or separation. Link to video: https://class.waldenu.edu/webapps/blackboard/conte…

Login info for video username: shanice.edmonds@waldenu.edu password: Maurelton88

  • Perform an academic search in the Walden Library and select two scholarly articles published in peer-reviewed journals in the last five years that each examines a different issue affecting families who may enter the counseling setting and that discuss potential effects on the members of a family.
  • Think about the similarities and differences in how these issues may affect families, as well as how the effects may compare to the potential effects of other issues.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 an analysis of two issues (abuse, addiction, divorce, etc.) affecting families. Compare the ways that each issue could potentially impact the family, using the articles you selected to support your evaluation.
