Essay Prompt:

Coming from the US 21st century point of view, we often have very fixed ideas about the words “republic” and “imperial“. We tend to focus on the ideological differences and conclude that a Republic is fair, just and upheld by a social contract, while an imperial system by nature is harsh, brutal and, ultimately, a tyranny, but do you feel this was the case in Ancient Rome?

Based on your readings on both the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, which do you feel was the superior form of government in regard to its efficiency and functionality, leadership, treatment of citizens, economics, creativity and progress, etc., and why?

Who killed Clotilda? Polymerase Chain reaction for forensic science

Who killed Clotilda? Polymerase Chain reaction for forensic science

Write a one-page affidavit identifying the killer for the court. To justify your identification, note where the DNA samples came from, describe how PCR analysis works (the components, their roles, and the purpose of each step in the reactions), and explain how you came to your conclusion.The Affidavit does not have to be an official formatted document. It can be in the form of a paper as long as it answers all the required questions!

Purpose:

To explore the science and methodology of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and its applications in forensic science

Objectives:

Research the concepts and methodologies of PCR (see videos in this folder)

Review evidence from a hypothetical criminal investigation and examine PCR profiles of several potential suspects

Compose an affidavit identifying the suspect and the supporting PCR evidence

What you will do:

Research the concepts and methodologies of PCR

Review evidence from a hypothetical criminal investigation and examine PCR profiles of several potential suspects

Compose an affidavit identifying the suspect and the supporting PCR evidence

The steps to follow:

Research the technique and science of PCR, using the suggested videos, and complete DNA Analysis: PCR (file can be found above).

Using PCR Profiles: Who Killed Clotilda? (file can be found above), read background information on the crime. Compare the PCR profiles derived from crime scene evidence to those of the victim and the suspects.

Write a one-page affidavit, according to the directions in PCR Profiles: Who Killed Clotilda?. Justify your identification by discussing the validity of PCR analysis in criminal cases.

PSYC 2002 Week 6 Do Parents Matter?

PSYC 2002 Week 6 Do Parents Matter?

Most of us have been raised to believe that our parents play the most important role in our lives. And, traditionally, developmental psychologists (e.g., Freud, Erikson) have placed a great deal of emphasis on the impact of parents. But what if parents are not as important as previously thought?

More recent theory and research has challenged this assumption by suggesting that individual characteristics (e.g., temperament) and forces outside the family (e.g., peers) are more important in shaping development. How does this new information challenge your previously held beliefs?

To prepare for the Assignment:

  • Review your course text readings from previous weeks, paying particular attention to any research related to parent’s roles. Focus on content that addresses early attachment, parenting styles, and discipline.
  • Review the articles “Do Parents Matter” and “Developmental Interplay Between Children’s Biobehavioral Risk and the Parenting Environment From Toddler to Early School Age: Prediction of Socialization Outcomes in Preadolescence.”
  • After reviewing the academic information available, formulate your own opinion on this topic.

The Assignment (5–6 pages):

  • Summarize the research on the impact of temperament on development. This should include how it might shape our interactions with parents, peers, and in the school environment.
  • Summarize the research concerning the impact of parents. This should include the formation of secure/insecure attachments during infancy and the impact this may have on later development.
  • Summarize the impact of parenting styles and ongoing monitoring during middle childhood and adolescence on development.
  • Summarize the research on the impact of peers, including early play, friendships, and the negative side of peer interactions (e.g., rejection and bullying) on development.
  • Consider the arguments of Harris in Gladwell’s blog post, “Do Parents Matter?”
  • Consider the relative influence of all these factors in the prompt as you state your educated opinion of whether or not parents “matter.”
