Learning in everyday life

QUESTION

Habituation and Sensitization are simple forms of non-associative learning.

In your own words, further discuss what is meant by habituation and sensitization, and provide an example of how each of these two types of learning have occurred in your own life (or the life of someone you know).

In contrast to non-associative learning, classical conditioning is a simple form of associative learning.  In your own words, further discuss what is meant by classical conditioning.  In your opinion, can the principles of classical conditioning be used to explain many types of behavior?  Explain your viewpoint, providing at least two (2) examples of classical conditioning that has occurred in your own life (or in the life of someone you know).  In discussing your examples, be sure to use the appropriate terminology to describe the specific stimuli and responses involved.  Please refrain from using taste aversion as an example, as it will be explored in DB2.2.

The video is about a matrilineal community that is unusual in many ways.

Please view the video and comment on it (there is one more video about the Mosuo community, but viewing it is optional, you can see it’s title in the References Section).

Hip Hop Music

Question

This is an essay that relates to hip hop music. So fro this essay you have to find a hip hop artist and some of his/her tracks to analyze.and you also have to do some research on this artist. With this topic, you will focus on how a specific artist engages the history of their local city, with ideas informed by Tricia Rose’s ideas about the post-industrial city and related writings. For example, consider these questions: how does the artist reference the local geography or culture of their city? How is the artist’s biography and experiences related to the city? For this analysis, you should focus on no more than 3 tracks by the artist, either from a single album or from three different stages in their career. Its important to go into some detail regarding the lyrics and music, rather than discussing the issues broadly.
