1. Bandura considered personality as an interaction between three components: the environment, behavior, and one’s psychological processes (one’s ability to entertain images in minds and language). Compare and contrast this view with traditional behaviorist views on learning.

Behavioral psychologists might argue that we are a simply a result of our environment and the various contingencies that we have encountered in our lives. Furthermore, they might argue that, given the proper environment, we can influence people in whatever way we might want. What do you think about these opinions? What environmental contingencies influence (or have influenced) you the most?

The Byzantine Empire was a direct continuation of eastern half of Roman Empire. After Rome was invaded, the Byzantine Empire flourished due to strong leadership from the emperors of Constantinople, which lasted for 1,000 years: (330A.D. to approx.. 1453A.D.). The Empire stretched from Balkans to Asia Minor along the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea.

What do you think is the most significant difference between the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches? Why?.

What explanation does Foot give for why Rachels denies the moral significance of the distinction between killing and letting die?

2. Because Chapter 14 HDEV focuses largely on relationships and social development we must evaluate how people choose or choose not to pair up. Please start your post by reflecting on whether or not you think you will get married. What are the reasons you personally would make the decision to marry or not marry? If you are already married, what were the reasons that convinced you to marry the person you chose? What is homogamy and what role does that play in mate selection? What are some of the other factors that the text suggests contribute to mate selection? How do your reasons align with the reasons that have been uncovered in academic research?

3. One of the most difficult things discussed in Chapter 19 OF hdev is the loss of a loved one and the grieving process. The textbook provides you with a variety of grief stage theories. When you sit back and examine the grief theories, what do you see as the limitations of each of the theories? What are the major strengths of the theories? Please identify the one theory that you think is most accurate and describe it to the class. Why do you think it's most accurate? After reading all of the theory and research, when it comes down to it, do you think there is just one way to grieve the loss of a loved one?
