Munsterberg had an impact on the field by applying psychology to the selection of employees. In my experience over the past couple of years, organizations are competing to get the best employees possible for their open positions. This can be a challenge for potential candidates as they are competing more and more for fewer jobs. Since 2008, many organizations have fewer open positions as they try to be profitable with the headcount that they have, asking current employees to take on more responsibilities. Fewer jobs mean top candidates are competing for these top positions. Class, what exactly did Munsterberg say about employee selection? How is this relevant to psychology?

Are there any music and movement activities that you use in your own classroom; for instance, The Hokey Pokey?

When discussing development, I feel that our environment, as well as our genetics, are both part of who we are and since we cannot control either of these when we are growing up we will be influenced by both. However, how long this influence takes hold varies by individual. I have seen this in my family based on age and birth order.

Let’s consider. Vgotsky. He did well to discuss the social aspect of learning and how children are dependent on the environment around them to learn. With Vgotsky’s heavy focus on culture and social experience, Berk (2018), notes that he “neglected the biological side of development

When critiquing Vgotsky’s theory we need to remember that Vgotsky died at the age of 37 and he did not have time to complete his theory. If we were to enhance Vgotsky’s theory today how would we combine social, cultural, and genetics to explain development?

Describe at least two objections to the idea of an all volunteer military. Do you think a conscription based or volunteer military is best from a moral standpoint and why? What are some of the key moral questions involved in the issue of paid pregancies? Do you think surrogates should be able to offer their services to the highest bidder? Why or why not?

Is the foundation of Paul’s theology Jewish or Christian?

Does Paul base his theology on the God of the Old Testament, the work of Jesus Christ in the New Testament, or a mixture of both?

According to C.S. Peirce, why is science the best method for gaining knowledge

Do you think that the United States is tolerant of “difference?” Our country was founded on the concept of religious tolerance, but...Wikipedia defines religious intolerance as:

Religious intolerance, rather, is when a group (e.g., a society, religious group, non-religious group) specifically refuses to tolerate practices, persons or beliefs on religious grounds (i.e., intolerance in practice).

What do you think? Are there some cultures more tolerant/less tolerant?

Are the U.S. experiences any different than that of other cultures? Frame your discussion within the context of the sociological perspectives.

Piaget was one that felt that children are active learners and he gained recognition for contributions to studying children and their physical world as well as their social world. However, even if we support one theory over another we do need to consider that we are unique and individuals.

For example, I have eight brothers and sisters. We all have the same biological parents and were raised together. In spite of this we each have different memories of events that occurred in the family and have interpreted them differently. This shows our differences in perspective despite or genetic similarities.

If we take Piaget’s theory of children as active learners how would we explain why children raised together respond differently to their environments?

summarize

Behaviorist theory, which is basicalIy a psychological theory in its essence, founded by J.B. Watson, is actualIy a theory of native lan- guage learning, advanced in part as a reaction to traditional grammar. The supporters of this theory are Leonard Bloomfield, O.N. Mowrer, B.F. Skinner, and A.W. Staats. Behaviorism was advanced in America

as a new approach to psychology in the early decades of the 20th-cen- tury by making a particular emphasis on the importance of verbal be- havior, and received a considerable trust from the educational world of 1950s.

The m~jor principle of the behaviorist theory rests on the analyses of human behavior in observable stimulus-response interaction and the association between them. E.L.T. Thorndike was the first behaviorist to explore the area that learning is the establishment of associations on particular process of behavior and consequences of that behavioL Ba- sically, "the behaviorist theory of stimulus-response learning, particu-. larly as developed in the operant conditioning model of Skinner, con- siders all learning to be the establishment of habits as a result of rein- foreement and reward" (Wilga Rivers, 1968, 73). This is very reminis- cent of Pavlov's experiment which indicates that stimulus aLL(~response work together. According to this category, the babies obtain native language habits via varied babblings which resemble the appropriate words repeated by a person or object near him. Since for his babblings

and mutterings he is rewarded, this very reward reinforces further articulations of the same sort into grouping of syllables and words in a similar situation. In this way, he goes on emitting sounds, groups of sounds, and as he grows up he combines the sentences via generalisations and analogy (as in *goed for went, *doed, for did, so on), which in some complicated cases, condition him to commit errors by articulating in permissible structures in speech. By the age of five or six, or babblings and mutterings grow into socialized speech but little by little theyare internalized as implicit speech, and thus many of their uttarences be- com e instinguishable from the adults. This, then, obviously, means that behavio?rist theory is a theory of stimulus-response psychology.

"Through a trial-and-error process, in which acceptable uttarences are reinforced by comprehension and approval, and un acceptable ut- tarences are inhibited by the lack of reward, he gradually learns to make finer and finer discriminations until his uttarences aproximate more and more dosely the speech of the community in which he is growing up

(Wilga M. Rivers, 1968; 73). To put it in other words, children develop anatural affinity to learn the language oftheir social surroundings whose importance both over language learning and teaching must never be underestimated. In this respect behaviorist theory stresses the fact that "human and animallearning is a process of habit formation. A highly complex learning task, according to this theory may be learned by being broken' down into smaIl habits. These are formed correct or incorrect responses, are rewarded or,punish€d, respectiveli'. (Hubbard Jones

Law vs. Ethics in Public Health Affairs Suppose you are advisor to the health officer in a medium-sized city in upstate New York that is experiencing an increase in syphilis and a rise in HIV infection among a particular population—men who have sex with men. The health officer is concerned that some of the fraternity and sorority houses at a local college in the health district have a higher incidence of both infections. Given the recent surge in infections, she believes that the affected fraternity and sorority houses should be closed and has asked whether a government official has the legal authority to do so; and, if so, whether this would be an ethically justifiable decision. Do you believe public health officials should have the authority to close sorority houses? If so, what should they do in this scenario and why?
