While all major developmental theories attempt to explain the growth of individuals, each theory has a slightly different perspective. Some theories emphasize environmental (nurture) more than biological (nature) influences. Some theories focus on a particular construct (e.g., cognition); others emphasize the impact of age range in shaping development. Piaget's cognitive developmental theory emphasizes fixed stages during which the mind's capacities allow an individual to learn about the world. Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, on the other hand, is not stage-based and describes growth as an interaction between the individual and his or her environment.Contemporary theories (e.g., Langer's theory of mindfulness) typically build upon the foundation generated by earlier theories. Langer's theory of mindfulness contains similarities to classical theories, such as Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, in that they both agree that development is contextual and the organism is an active "mindful" participant. Langer took Vygotsky's theory to a new level, focusing specifically on education and the learner. Other contemporary theories include neo-Piagetian cognitive developmental theories, which attempt to address the limitations found within Piaget's classical theory. Robbie Case, Andreas Demetriou, and Kurt Fischer proposed theories that were extensions from Piaget's theory. These theorists added concepts that expanded on cognitive functioning within the stages of development. Most developmental psychologists today do not believe that a single perspective or theory can sufficiently explain lifespan development; rather, an eclectic approach makes more sense.To prepare for this Discussion, select a contemporary researcher/theorist who has published work within the past 10 years.With these thoughts in mind: Post by Day 4 a brief description of the researcher/theorist you selected, including their contemporary research/theory. Evaluate the relationship between the researcher's/theorist's contemporary research/theory and related classical theory(ies). Specifically, Identify important similarities and differences, including the strengths and limitations of each theory in explaining developmental processes (i.e., cognitive, social-emotional, physical).

Marxists, Like Charlie Chaplin, point out that the "value orientation of time" pushes people to become more and more like machines - we are dehumanized through this type of work.Watch the first 20 minutes of Modern Times and answer these questions.1st partGive some specific examples of the way that time-discipline was demonstrated in "Modern times" - for example, how did the clock regulate Charlie Chaplin's working hours?Did Charlie experience alienation?Were there any ways that the factory owner tried to extract "surplus value" from Charlie's work?

Using the stories of the four Survivors (Guerry, Marilyn, Donna, Mark) portrayed in the video Childhood Stories: Darkness to Light, apply the Five Sexual Abuse Phases outlined in the Pre-Service Training Readings. In your discussion board post:1) Identify a survivor that discussed the Engagement (or “Grooming”) stage and list the examples provided of how the perpetrator set the stage for abuse to occur.2) Identify examples of Sexual Interactions a survivor discussed.3) All four survivors maintained Secrecy. Describe the reasons why a survivor maintained secrecy.4) Identify if a survivor’s disclosure was accidental or purposeful and share the reason for your decision.MUST USE THE MATERIAL ADDED TO COMPLETE ASSIGNMENT!!!!
