2. What potential biological, psychological, and ethical dilemmas might arise from using placebos in health care?

3. Discuss developmental, gender, and sociocultural factors in health. Provide examples of each and identify the impact on the individual and the community.

Choose one of the leading causes of death and discuss how the biopsychosocial model might be useful in reducing this cause of death?

3. How can lifestyle or healthful behaviors reduce illness? Be specific and provide examples for your response. 

Use three to four current scholarly resources to support your discussion. Your textbook and scholarly internet sources are acceptable. Scholarly support is evidenced by in-text citations that match source references.

WEEK 1 PSY-355

1. How is child development defined and what are the periods of development?

2. Discuss two developmental theories and theorists that contributed to the field of child development. What is the focus of each?

3. Directions: After reading Chapter 1 and reviewing Chapter 10 of your textbook, create a 10-12-slide PowerPoint Presentation addressing the below.

The goal of this assignment is to address how the individual selected became whom they are today or who they were using concepts learned in Topic 1.
This assignment should be in a third-person narrative and include a scholarly research-based discussion.

1. Select a famous person and describe their childhood/background (where they lived, one- or two-parent household, siblings, good in school, adopted, abuse, barriers, etc.).

2. Look ahead to Chapter 10. According to Baumrind’s parenting styles, discuss the suspected parenting style used (e.g., permissive parenting style).

3. Discuss social challenges (e.g., culture, SES, bullying, gender identity). Discuss any biological, cognitive, and socioemotional processes that can be identified.

4. What period of development was pivotal for this person and why? Use research to support claims.

5. Examine influences on this individual’s development using concepts from the textbook (e.g., cohort effect, issues in development, nature versus nurture, continuity vs. discontinuity, early vs. late experiences). What made this individual who they are today or who they were?

Use three to four scholarly resources to support your explanations. Apply relevant topics as discussed in the textbook and other resources you have located and read (the textbook can count as one source). In addition, credible websites such as .org, .mil, .gov, and .edu are acceptable, however, cannot serve as primary sources to support this assignment.

Refer to the resource, “Creating Effective PowerPoint Presentations,” located in the Student Success Center, for additional guidance on completing this assignment in the appropriate style/format.

Include speaker notes below each content-related slide that represents what would be said if giving the presentation in person. Expand upon the information included in the slide and do not simply restate it. Please ensure the speaker notes include a minimum of 100 words per slide.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, including an APA formatted reference slide, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

4. After reviewing Topic 2 resources, conduct an Internet-based search for current events and media. Provide examples in the media that relate to genetic foundations and how recent events connected to this concept.

5. Discuss two-three potential issues or considerations during prenatal development. There are two sides to the discussion. For example: Just because you are pregnant and taking prenatal vitamins, does not mean you are heathy. Removing fish or seafood from your diet can impact your intake of omega 3, which is essential for brain development within the fetus.

6. Directions: Refer to the instructor announcements for further instruction. Create a brochure on conception and prenatal development. Select one of the provided scenarios and then address the following factors below:

Scenario 1: A couple is expecting a baby and the pregnancy was not planned. They are meeting with various groups and individuals (i.e., medical doctor, Planned Parenthood, pastor, adoptive parents) to help them make an informed decision about the pregnancy. The couple is given an educational brochure from the agency or individual they met with to help support their decision.

Scenario 2: A young single female was assaulted and is pregnant. She is scared, angry, and unsure of what to do with her unplanned pregnancy. She is meeting with various groups and individuals (i.e., medical doctor, Planned Parenthood, pastor, adoptive parents) to help her make an informed decision about the pregnancy. She is given an educational brochure from the agency or individual she met with to help support her decision.

Address the questions below within the brochure.

Important Factors: What can the couple or single female expect during the pregnancy both during conception and prenatal period of development? What are some important factors that the parents should take into consideration during this period (e.g., environmental influences, diet, medications, drugs)?

Support Systems: Provide information about the individual or agency the couple or single female met with (e.g., Planned Parenthood). Include local contact information and a brief description of the agency or individual support they received (i.e., describe what the agency support includes).

Options and Resources: What counsel was the couple or single female provided? Outline all options the couple or single female were given and offer a brief description of each. Provide statistics for the couple or single female to help them decide. Provide additional resources for the couple or single female (e.g., support groups, clinics) should they need to follow up with a specific agency or doctor.

Christian Worldview: Blend into the discussion what the Christian worldview lens looks like for an unplanned pregnancy. What advice would the couple be given if they believe in the Christian worldview? This can be in the form of a quote or scripture passage that is meaningful and applicable to the topic.

A minimum of two to three scholarly sources are required (the textbook may count as one of these). When using credible websites, please limit use to .org, .edu, .mil, or .gov. Websites may be used for secondary supportive sources only. They may not be used as primary sources of information to support this assignment.
