We have all heard about the girl who wants to join the wrestling team and the boy who wants an Easy-Bake Oven. Think about some of your earliest experiences with gender. Consider at school, extracurricular activities, your parents, your friends, etc. Discuss gender roles, stereotypes, myths, and/or controls in society that existed then and you see exist today. Do you feel that males or females have more or less “controls” placed on them by society? Is it fair? Do you believe that boys and girls/men and women should stick to the qualities, interests, etc., that society deems appropriate for their gender?
Prepare an outline for the essay assigned for the Module 2 Case using the Formal Essay Outline.
Note: Module 2 SLP should be completed before the Module 2 Case.
Reflecting on the four gender-related videos for Module 2, write a well-organized and well-supported essay in which you help challenge society’s limiting gender narratives.
A well-organized essay has a beginning, middle, and an end. The beginning, or introduction, should include an opening sentence to grab your reader’s attention. Follow the opening sentence with a brief background on the topic or situation. In this case, it would be an explanation of gender roles, stereotypes, myths, and/or controls in society today. The last sentence of the introduction is the thesis statement. The thesis states the main point of the essay, which in this case, would be a statement affirming what needs to be done to limit gender narratives in society today.
A well-supported essay includes supporting points, details, and examples. For this essay, you must decide the best way to organize the body of the paper. Will you have a paragraph for each change? Will you divide the body of your paper into three or more paragraphs, one for each point? In any case, each body paragraph must support (explain) your reasoning (rationale) using specific details. Each body paragraph must have a topic sentence that states the main point of the paragraph.
The conclusion typically summarizes the main points of the essay and/or closes with a lasting impression that connects the reader to their world. In this case, where is our society headed? Is it too late for change?
Be sure to proofread your essay and edit for proper grammar, punctuation, diction (word choice), and spelling, as errors in sentence skills will lower a final grade. A grade will be determined based on the Module 2 Case expectations and the Trident University General Education rubric for English.
Papers must be double-spaced in Times or Times New Roman font (12 cpi) with standard one-inch margins.
The first person “I” is not used in a formal essay.
This essay must include a combination of no fewer than SIX in-text citations from the four assigned background sources for Module 2. Citations are to be a combination of direct quotations and paraphrased quotations with or without the author’s name. No additional outside sources are to be used for this assignment.
Assignment Expectations
Write an essay (no fewer than four pages in length) that states and supports an original thesis statement in which you help challenge society’s limiting gender narratives.
Demonstrate the ability to identify credible and reliable sources for use in a well-supported and cohesive essay.
Demonstrate the ability to write a direct quote, paraphrased, or summary citation in APA Style
Last week, you selected the CBT approach you are using for your Course Project and wrote the first part of your paper, explaining the theoretical foundation and major techniques of the approach. This week, you continue your research with the approach by exploring its application to a particular population or disorder. For instance, if you selected pure CBT last week, you might now research its application in treating someone with cerebral palsy. After you have completed your research, you will create a brief PowerPoint presentation that summarizes the research on applying this approach to this population/issue.
To prepare:
Apply the therapy you selected in Part 1 to a diverse population (e.g., Native Americans, refugees) and a specific DSM-5 disorder (e.g., agoraphobia).
Perform research in the Walden Library about the extent to which your approach has been applied to your selected population and issue. Is its use with this population/issue growing or evolving?
The Assignment:
Summarize (in 2–3 pages) the history of your approach being applied to your selected population and selected issue. Provide references to the literature to support your summary.
Using a presentation technology program of your choosing (e.g., PowerPoint, Google Slides. Prezi) create a media presentation of your project to present during Week 10 of your residency. You will have 15 minutes to present during residency, so practice at home to make sure your presentation adheres to this guideline.
Use your Learning Resources and your research to support your Assignment. Use proper APA format and citations.

Theories often evolve from previous theories. As you noted in Week 2, job characteristics and job enrichment theory incorporate key elements of job/work design theory. In Week 3, you discovered that organizational justice theories emerged from equity theory. This week, you discover that the same evolutionary trajectory occurs as basic principles of cognitive evaluation theory (CET) appear in the broader and more comprehensive self-determination theory (SET).
Organizational psychology professionals might be asked to address issues relating to low worker motivation and failure to achieve goals. Recognizing that most individuals perform work assignments because they have to and not because they want to, Deci and Ryan (2000) suggest workers develop an “active personal commitment” to their job (p. 60). To achieve this objective, these researchers recommend a course in which employees internalize and integrate their values into their work tasks.
For this Discussion, think about the relationship between CET and SDT. Then select a professional or academic goal that you have achieved and consider why you achieved that goal based on SDT.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 4 a brief explanation of self-determination theory. Then explain how self-determination theory is an extension of cognitive evaluation theory. Finally, describe the goal you selected and explain why you achieved that goal based on self-determination theory.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. APA Format.
