I’m working on a psychology multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Please read the Carl Rogers Paper, “Some Observations on the Organization of Personality” and the “Carl Rogers Case Study”. Answer the following reflection questions in a few sentences.

1. In Carl Rogers’ view, what do Katharine and Miss Vib have in common about their personalities?

2. What would Carl Rogers say caused the change in Miss Vib? Compare and contrast the causes/mechanisms of change for Miss Vib to the causes/mechanisms for Katherine.

3. Reflecting on the case study, how did Katherine’s self-concept differ from her ideal self before her experience with the support group? How does the disconnect between Katharine’s self-concept and ideal self-relate to her behavior?

4. Apply Bandura’s concept of self-efficacy to Katherine/Vib’s experiences. How does the focus on Bandura’s theory differ from that of Carl Rogers

Throughout this course, we have examined western civilization’s tendency to broaden individual rights.  This trend has produced modern western societies with more robust political and economic freedom when compared to Europe in 1200 A.D. 

However, commentators like David Brooks of the NYT express concern that western society’s focus on expanding individual freedom has yielded unintended consequences that manifest in a deterioration of social cohesion.  For example, Brooks notes that western society increasingly suffers from: sharp increases in people reporting loneliness, depression, and in rising suicide rates.  Moreover, Brooks laments that many western nations are experiencing a decline in marriage rates and falling trust in institutions.

Is Brooks right to attribute these statistics to the excesses of western individualism?  Why or why not?

Here is a link to a talk Brooks gave at Davidson College where he made some of the arguments I’m referencing:

Hello,

I need help with an assignment about the film “Race – The Power of an Illusion: The Story We Tell”

—————————————————————————–

Write a brief response to each of the following questions in response to the film “Race – The Power of an Illusion: The Story We Tell” (58min).

• What is the connection of American slavery to prejudices against African-descended peoples? Why does race persist after abolition?
• Contrast Thomas Jefferson’s policy to assimilate American Indians in the 1780s with Andrew Jackson’s policy of removing Cherokees to west of the Mississippi in the 1830s. What is common to both policies? What differentiates them?
• What did the publications of scientists Louis Agassiz, Samuel Morton, and Josiah Nott argue, and what was their impact on U.S. legal and social policy?
• What role did beliefs about race play in the American colonization of Mexican territory, Cuba, the Philippines, Guam and Puerto Rico?

I’m working on a history writing question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Historian Stephanie McCurry writes: “The Confederate war involved a profound reckoning. Before Confederates were defeated, their political project had failed. The new nation Confederates set out to build had fallen victim not just to enemy armies but to the manifest poverty of its reactionary vision of the republic, and the determined resistance of the Confederate people to it.”

Learn more about the myriad of problems with the Confederate project by reading the “Prologue” and “Epilogue” from McCurry’s book, Confederate Reckoning, attached below:  

oConfederate Reckoning Prologue (PDF)

oConfederate Reckoning Epilogue (PDF)

Identify and explain six reasons why, in McCurry’s estimation and analysis, that the Confederacy was destined to fail. In particular, consider how matters of race, gender, and class contributed to the fundamental problems with the Confederate project.

Think about the possible ways stereotype threat impacts the different genders in school.  You have seen that there are conflicting thoughts from experts on how boys and girls learn as well.   In your paper, you are expected to consider the short-term and long-term effects of stereotype threat in the school along with how it may be relevant to other domains (e.g., socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.) along with gender.  I then want you to brainstorm how school systems can change to make a lasting effects on these issues.  Consider the following questions as a guide for your thinking?

What are the short and long-term effects  of stereotype threat in regard to gender in school settings?  How are other domains relevant to this?

How are Achievement Motivation and Fear of Success related?

• What steps would you consider necessary and useful to improving these issues?
