Your answer needs to explain both of the following:
How does the speaker’s ideas or information help us better understand different types of personal variables—biological, cognitive, and/or social/emotional—that can shape human behavior?
How does the speaker’s ideas or information help us better understand how development is shaped by both immediate variables (i.e., personal factors, microsystem, mesosystem) and wider variables (i.e., exosystem, macrosystem, historical context)?
Did you relate the video or your additional thoughts to at least 3 separate course concepts? Remember that when you cite the concept, you will need to include a page number (or section number, if reading the book in Revel) in parentheses.

Characteristics of Living Things

Defining life can be very difficult. Scientists don’t all agree on a standard list of characteristics that define all life, but most generally agree on a common set of properties. Many of these properties are not limited to living things; some nonliving things may share a few of these characteristics as well. For instance, viruses don’t have the necessary machinery to reproduce themselves; they must use cellular hosts to make more viral copies. Because they cannot reproduce, they are not considered living.

Case Assignment

Your Assignment:

Eating disorders in teenagers

$6.00

Imagine a teen girl posting a selfie on social media. She likes the picture because she is smiling in it and the sun is shining on her nicely. Later that day, she reads the comments, which are mostly positive, but one person has posted a negative comment about her being “fat.” How might that affect an adolescent who is already feeling vulnerable?

Similar scenes of “body shaming” play out in the lives of adolescents trying to navigate cultural understandings of beauty, pressure from peers to fit in, and constant images of “perfect bodies” shown on TV and in movies. Social media, because it is so ubiquitous, can be particularly hurtful. These pressures can combine with biological and psychological factors to promote an adolescent’s negative body image, purging and fasting behavior, or even an eating disorder.

For this Assignment, you examine the occurrence of eating disorders and consider approaches to address them in adolescents.
