In practice hardly anyone today accepts the extreme positions of gender development being guided solely either by heredity or environment. It is difficult to accept an “all or nothing” view, so, perhaps, the question should be as to how much of contribution each makes. In this comprehensive Signature Assignment you will debate nature vs. nurture factors and theories in gender development supported by scholarly research throughout. If we accept the view that heredity and environment both influence our gender identity the question that intrigues researchers is how do the two interconnect or where and when they start overlapping? You will explain the theories you will be discussing and include advantages and disadvantages of each of those theories if accepted in its totality, for the individual and for the society at large. Finally, you will state an argument for integration of both theories as you see it. As we discussed above, gender development research is very complicated in its practical sense of executing such a research with minors as well as in the topic itself. More and more researchers are adopting the integrating focus of biological and environmental impact on development. For your Signature Assignment, you will consider aspects of this Nature vs. Nurture debate in research, making sure to include the following in your final paper: Introduction to gender development concepts Biological theories Cognitive/behavioral theories Family/social impact on gender development Stereotypes Cross-cultural perspectives Conclusion supporting your own views based on the research Length: 10-12 pages References: Include a minimum of five scholarly articles published in the last five years in addition to any seminal work if needed. In addition, you may include scholarly websites or other scholarly resources. Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University's Academic Integrity Policy.

CompetencyAssess the development of societal standards in relation to social media and how this can alter social norms in everyday life.InstructionsThe prevalence of social media has had a huge impact on society in the area of how we tend to relate to each other and on what is considered to be normal in general. Taking a look at the ways in which social media changes attitudes and "norms" makes for an interesting study, and one that is applicable to understanding how society is slowly changing over time.For this assignment, you will first conduct your own research on the effects of social media on societal norms (Part 1), then you will examine what has been found through previous research conducted by others (Part 2).Part 1:Compare and contrast the attitudes of two cohorts of people; one that consists of five people that rarely use social media and one cohort of five people that uses social media 2 or more hours a day.Create a list of five people that you know that use social media at least 2 or more hours per day. This group of people will make up your first cohort. Then create a list of five people that you know that either do not use social media or use it very rarely. Take into account age when creating the cohorts, and try to keep the ages as similar as possible between the cohorts. Keeping a certain level of consistency in the two cohorts will help to negate the potential effects of generational differences. Provide a brief description of each of the ten people you are going to interview divided into their respective cohorts.In other words, list the five people in the social media at least 2 or more hours a day, and provide a brief description of each along with why you chose them. Then provide a list of the five people that rarely or never use social media, and provide a brief description of each along with why you chose them.Interview the participants to learn the similarities and differences between the two cohorts as it relates to attitudes, lifestyles, and relationships. Write a two-page paper comparing and contrasting what you learned about the two cohorts. Be sure to relate your findings to cultivation theory and socialization theory in the paper.Part 2:Now you will compare your research with research findings through previous research conducted by others. Look up at least 3 articles in the Rasmussen Library that relate to the topic of social media and its impact on society. You are not limited to articles that are strictly written on the specific topic of social media and norms. Articles that are covering social media and society are available from a wide number of angles. After studying these articles, write a two-page paper on what you learned on the topic of social media and its potential impact on societal attitudes, customs, and norms.Grading RubricFFCBA01234Not SubmittedNo PassCompetenceProficiencyMasteryNot SubmittedFailed to clearly list the ten people that you plan to interview (divided by cohort) and did not provide a brief description of each along with why you chose each person.Listed the ten people that you plan to interview (divided by cohort).
