Most would agree that parenting is a lifelong job. The parent’s obligations begin once the baby is conceived and seemingly never end, even after his or her child becomes an adult.

Suppose that you are the parent in each of the following scenarios. Based on what you have learned from this unit’s materials, answer the following questions for each scenario by explaining how you would effectively handle each situation.

Note: While it is understood different people and even entire cultures have different parenting styles, your answers should be based on the research and theories presented in this unit.

• Describe the stage of cognitive development of the child in each scenario.
• Explain how you would address the child and the situation. Will you use punishment in any of the situations? What tactics would be the most useful considering your child’s level of cognitive development?

Scenario 1: At the playground, your 5-year-old daughter shoves another child and takes away the child’s toy. Your daughter then screams at the child and runs away.

Scenario 2: You discover that your 13-year-old son has taken $20 from your purse and is planning to use it to purchase vapes (e-cigarettes) at school. The only reason you found out is because your 15-year-old daughter tattled after becoming upset that her brother would not give her half of the loot to serve as hush money. How do you address each child?

Scenario 3: Your 21-year-old daughter comes home from college and excitedly shares that she met a new guy on Tinder, and she plans to marry him next month. She then reveals that she will be quitting school, despite only having 1 year left to complete her bachelor’s degree. (She does not see the need for her degree any longer, as her fiancé is rich, or so she has been told.) She has decided to throw away the career plans and dream wedding she has planned since she was 10 years old because now she finally has her Prince Charming, and her life is all set!

Your combined answers for each scenario must be at least 150 words, for a minimum of 450 words for the entire assignment (not including the title and reference pages).

Your answers should include an insightful and thorough analysis and present a strong argument with evidence. You must use at least one source to support your analysis. This may be your textbook or another scholarly source. All sources used will be properly cited. Your case study, including all references, will be formatted in APA style.

People don’t always say what’s on theirminds. One reason is that they are unwilling. For example, someone mightreport smoking a pack of cigarettes per day because they areembarrassed to admit that they smoke two. Another reason is that theyare unable. A smoker might truly believe that she smokes a pack a day,or might not keep track at all. The difference between being unwillingand unable is the difference between purposely hiding something fromsomeone and unknowingly hiding something from yourself.

The Implicit Association Test (IAT) measuresattitudes and beliefs that people may be unwilling or unable to report.The IAT may be especially interesting if it shows that you have animplicit attitude that you did not know about. For example, you maybelieve that women and men should be equally associated with science,but your automatic associations could show that you (like many others)associate men with science more than you associate women with science.

Visit the Project Implicit website to take one of the IAT from the list below:

• Gender and Sexuality
• Sexuality (‘Gay-Straight’ IAT). This IAT requires the ability todistinguish words and symbols representing gay and straight people. Itoften reveals an automatic preference for straight relative to gaypeople.
• Gender – Science. This IAT often reveals a relative link between liberal arts and females and between science and males.
• Gender – Career. This IAT often reveals a relative link between family and females and between career and males.
• Race and Ethnicity
• Race (‘Black – White’ IAT). This IAT requires the ability todistinguish faces of European and African origin. It indicates that mostAmericans have an automatic preference for white over black.
• Asian American (‘Asian – European American’ IAT). This IATrequires the ability to recognize White and Asian-American faces, andimages of places that are either American or Foreign in origin.
• Native American (‘Native – White American’ IAT). This IATrequires the ability to recognize White and Native American faces ineither classic or modern dress, and the names of places that are eitherAmerican or Foreign in origin.

1. First, explore the Project Implicit website.
2. Next, complete one of the Implicit Association Tests (IAT) fromthe list above. Each test should take about 10 minutes to complete. Atthe end, you will receive your IAT result along with information aboutwhat it means.
3. Then, share your IAT results as a screenshot (How to take a screenshot with a PC or Mac).
4. Finally, write a reflective post about your thoughts andfeelings (a) prior to taking the test, (b) during the actual test and(c) once you received your results.

In class, we’ve been working to analyze the rhetoric of visual texts (logos, objects, ads, etc.) as well as that of straightforward written texts (the Freakonomics episodes and the Bird, Zinsser, and Malkin essays). Writing Project 1 will build on these same skills of rhetorical analysis, but it will ask you to consider a somewhat more complex written text.

Please select one of the college-related texts that we have read thus far: “Freakonomics Goes to College, Part 1”(ep. 86), “Freakonomics Goes to College, Part 2” (ep. 88), Bird’s “College Is a Waste of Time and Money,” or Zinsser’s “College Pressures.” Then, rather than agreeing or disagreeing with the selection’s argument itself, analyze the ways in which the writer/speaker uses language to create a distinctive tone, style, etc., in order to make the text persuasive or powerful. In presenting this analysis, you should identify the intended audience for whom the work was written and the purpose it seeks to serve. You should also identify the effects the writer is trying produce in the audience, and evaluate the overall rhetorical success of the segment by examining how it uses the three lines of argument (pathos, ethos, and logos) as well as other rhetorical strategies to persuade its audience.

Your thesis statement for this essay should make an argument about how the writer/speaker uses various rhetorical approaches (such as appeals to emotion or logic, language, repetition, etc.) and to what degree and why/how the writer is effective (or not) at achieving the desired effects in his/her work.

A strong rhetorical analysis:

Is 5-7 pages long and formatted in the MLA style.

Identifies the context of the writing situation (author, title, publication).

Identifies the author’s audience and purpose.

Includes a clear thesis statement that asserts what the author is arguing and identifies the strategies the author employs.

Includes paragraphs that discuss the author’s strategies to make the argument [this should move beyond just identifying ethos, pathos, and logos, although those appeals should be included].

Includes some specifics and evidence from the original text (including summary, paraphrase, and direct quotes) to illustrate the author’s techniques.

Fully analyzes the incorporated evidence to explain how the identified strategies support the purpose of the text given the audience.

Includes some evaluation of the effectiveness of the argument.

Is clearly written with appropriate language, attention to editing, etc.

I will evaluate your essay according to the grading criteria in the course syllabus and the writing rubric, as well as your knowledge of rhetorical terms and concepts.

Harlem Children Zone

1. Describe the Harlem Children’s Initiative.

The purpose or the initiative behind Harlem Children is to get the children from Harlem, an impoverished area in New York, which statistically shows that children are falling below the educational standard in comparison to white Americans and improve these levels of education for these children. This project was founded by a man named Geoffrey Canada. The way that Canada has conducted this project is done through several incentives that are offered to the children. Some of which are free trips to Disney world if they score a certain level on testing (for younger children), and a salary of $120 per month for perfect attendance (for older children). Harlem Children after entering this program have shown an incredible improvement in scores in areas such math and reading, in which they were drastically falling behind in. Almost 4 years below their grade level to be exact. Canada has dedicated his time and efforts into helping the children in this area, and allowing them to not only believe but to see that they too can be as successful and smart as anyone else out there. Giving them the education and motivation needed in order to pave a future for these children.

3. When Politicians Cherry-Pick Data and Disregard Facts, What Should We Academics Do? (Links to an external site.)

“When politicians distort science, academics and scientists tend to watch in shock from the sidelines rather than speak out. But in an age of “fake news” and “alternative facts,” we need to step into the breach and inject scientific literacy into the political discourse.”

“Now, the rankings of search engines are the result of inscrutable and anonymous yet authoritative-seeming processes that can sometimes hide falsity and bias. Part of the reason is that search engines are designed to appeal to what they perceive or predict as your values.”
