This is the portion that I need a page on –
Analysis of cultural influences that have affected the development of your school of thought. (please see the school below) (suggested length: 2-3 paragraphs)
How have societal movements and/or cultural factors shaped the development of this school of thought?
This article is an analysis of Black Canadian female students’ experiences in Ontario schools, a viewpoint that is underrepresented in the conversation about Black adolescent experiences. The paper collects narratives from three Black-Canadian girls attending a Toronto high school using qualitative research methods, particularly ethnographic study, providing a rich understanding of their lived experiences (Litchmore, R. V., 2022).

Several historical events have illustrated the power of collective action to combat prejudice and discrimination. The “Me Too” movement unveiled an epidemic of sexual harassment in Hollywood and elsewhere; The Black Lives Matter initiative intensified following the murder of George Floyd and other African Americans by law enforcement; and community members and local leaders partnered to fight a spate of attacks against Asian Americans following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most recently, pro-Palestinian protests against Israel’s assault in Gaza—along with counterprotests fueled by perceptions of antisemitism — have erupted on dozens of campuses across the U.S. Inherent to these all movements has been the desire to remedy historical injustices and provide equal opportunities and protections to all groups.
Few people would deny that fairness, justice and mutual respect are moral imperatives for any advanced society. Simultaneously, several prominent scholars, journalists, authors have expressed concern over what they see as a growing “cancel culture” in which people can be swiftly fired from their jobs, ostracized within their communities or publicly shamed for remarks that (regardless of intent) are perceived as prejudicial or insensitive. Critics of cancel culture argue that fears of being morally condemned or accused of prejudice will suppress the type of open dialogue and argumentation that is needed for real reform.
In your opinion, how do we as a society balance efforts to curtail the use of hurtful or prejudicial language (e.g., on social media, in published literature, in the workplace) with a desire to promote open dialogue and discourse? How do we convey respect for dissenting views while avoiding the type of “ideological conformity” that leads to self-censorship and fears of reprisal?

Purpose
This paper will objectively address how attitudes toward human sexuality have changed over the past 30 years. By completing this paper, you will achieve learning objectives 2-4. & 6-3. Specifically, you will evaluate the role of parents, peers, and the media in human psychosexual development. Parental influences may include religious upbringing, value system, and formal/informal human sexual education, while peers may influence informal/formal sexual education. Often, peers influence media choices, such as movies, music, social networks, dating apps, sexting, etc.
Instructions
You will read two academic articles (Jayne et al., 2021 & Widman et al., 2021) in the Resources section below; the studies refer to the influences parents, religion, peers, and media have on psychosexual development. Please critically evaluate the articles using the skills you practiced in the M05 and M06 research preparation assignments.
In addition, you will search Ivy Tech’s online library for a minimum of one additional, Full Text, Peer-Reviewed article for a relevant study that will help you develop a well-organized, well-written paper. You are also encouraged to use material from previous modules, such as relevant academic articles, TEDx Talks, and the Yarber & Sayad (2022) eText for supportive details. Below find a short overview of how to access and search Ivy Tech’s online library. For specific questions, please ask your instructor. 

You are to write a 4 page paper (plus a reference page) on a research topic of interest related to middle adulthood or late adulthood. The paper is to follow APA guidelines and must reference at least 5 empirical articles. For those unfamiliar with APA formatting, please consult the OWL Purdue website on how to write effectively using APA formatting. (Hint: follow the Student Paper format.)
Below are some topics that can help get you started. You are free to choose these topics, reference parts of them, or come up with a question completely on your own.
– Does the idea of a midlife crisis exist, and what are some effect strategies for preventing/minimizing them?
– Redefining sexual identity in middle adulthood and possible outcomes associated with it.
– The effect of divorce on different household members (father/mother/child) – psychologically, biologically, emotionally, etc.
– Personality – is it truly set in stone by middle adulthood or is it malleable?
– Coping and adaptation in older adulthood’s limitations.
– Learning in middle/late adulthood.
– Culture and well-being in adulthood.

create a discussion section in similar format to peers for the question: 
Does the frequency of parental communication positively influence the development of standard living skills?

Find a real world example relating to one of the topics we covered in class from a newspaper or magazine. Attach a copy of the article and write a brief one page summary and critique of the research question, how they tested their question and what was found. This needs to be turned in before the quiz for that topic so that it can be discussed during the clinical section of the chapter.
The two topics would be learned helplessness and stimulus enhancement so it will be two 
examples 

Guided Response: Note the goal of the discussion forum is to provide a learning opportunity via meaningful and interactive discourse. Therefore, robust and continued commentary is essential. Responses must explicitly address concepts covered in Week 1, citing information from the required resources or other relevant resources in APA Style. Give examples to illustrate and explain content. In addition, responses must demonstrate critical insight. Respond to at least two of your classmates by Day 7. In addition, respond to classmates (and the instructor, if applicable) who replied to your initial post.
The following general suggestions may be useful as you craft your replies:
Describe examples that further illustrate relevant social psychological concepts.
Relate the content in your classmate’s post to that of your own or another’s initial contribution or reply.
Provide supplementary sources or reference course material that adds additional insight.
Ask clarifying or thought-provoking questions.

Social psychology allows me to comprehend society’s actions, and behaviors but it also shows me my own beliefs, perspectives, and behaviors. Humans are complicated beings with such vast feelings and thoughts which make it difficult to do one experiment to solve all questions. Some studies make humans sound as if they are born aggressive and savage while other studies may say humans are a product of their social upbringing/environment (Aronson, 2018). I’m of the belief that humans are molded and shaped by their home life and social influence, social thinking, and social relations.
In this presentation I’ll introduce you all to my life as a trucker, mom, life partner and grandmother, while still maintaining my sense of fashion and beauty. It has been a roller coaster ride of trauma, loss, love, hope and determination. In hindsight, I view the lenses of my life as all a learning experience that I can share with others as an example of overcoming challenges such as stereotypes of being a female in a male dominated field of trucking and dealing with prejudice. These experiences shaped my perception of society in a negative and positive way. In my younger years I overestimated my abilities in the workplace by believing people were noble and honest and quickly came to understand that some people operate off confirmation bias due to negative social influence. In some instances, I was able to reciprocate the power of the situation by overlooking bias and prejudicial treatment by still being me, and not succumbing to reaction of negativity. By embracing a positive outlook and behavior, it changed the behaviors of the people I developed social relations with that had bias and prejudicial mindset. Societal pressures can wear on self-esteem if you don’t fit that mold of expectation. I struggled with styling my afro textured hair in my early adulthood so decided to go against the status quo by cutting my hair short and embracing it as it is what is. I got positive reactions from people for my boldness to step outside the normal societal expectations of what women hair should look like. According to the studies on the Nacirema, they were a cultivating society that believed in extreme bodily rituals such as oral and moral characteristics. These rituals may seem tortuous or unpleasant to an outsider, however to their people it was a rite of passage. This is an example of social influence and relation. This can be viewed negatively or positively depending on who it affects and their perspective.

Week 1 Discussion Considering Context Collage
“Social psychology” is the scientific study of how people influence other people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.” (Aronson, 2018) Someone can be easily manipulated by others, whether good or bad. Children are influenced by their parents and/or siblings. Some people can be influenced politically, and religiously as well. Growing up my mother was a Christian and we went to church every Sunday. We were basically in church every day because there was always something going on. My siblings and I were raised to be Christians too. She had a motherly influence over us so whatever she did we had to do. Well, today I only consider myself a spiritual person because I am older now and have done some studies and therefore I can make decisions for myself. 
The photos I have submitted are only some of the photos that I love and that brings me peace. These photos explain me as the person I am. I love nature and I love the elements. I love my family as well, but I could not get my photos to upload, so I downloaded these from the internet. I have tons of photos of my family and I that I wish I could have gotten them to upload.
