PROVIDE YOUR CLOSING ARGUMENTS ABOUT WHY YOUR PERSPECTIVE IS MORE IMPORTANT IN DETERMINING THE PSYCHOLOGY OF GENDER AND ITS IMPACT ON PSYCHOSOCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

The term gender has been used in the field of social science to define the line between biological and social differences. Popular culture has transcribed these differences into the nature-versus-nurture debate. In popular culture, the use of these descriptors indicates a complete understanding of the breadth of both socially and biologically determined differences regarding the psychology of gender.

In this assignment, you will imagine you are part of a debate in a communications course. The debate is on the subject of nature versus nurture.

The facilitator has assigned you to a debate team in favor of nature.

Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research the subject of nature versus nurture. Select at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed resource for use in this assignment.

Combine your experiences with the research and respond to the following:

  • Provide a focused introduction that integrates the description of your assigned perspective along with a well-crafted argument.
  • Provide your closing arguments about why your perspective is more important in determining the psychology of gender and its impact on psychosocial development.
  • Include one personal example and one extraneous example from your research to support your assertions. The extraneous research example can be from the module readings or from independent research.

Consider the possible future research related to culture and psychology you might be interested in conducting. Think about how you may affect social change.
For this Discussion, reflect on how learning about the impact of culture on human psychology can help you develop as a scholar-practitioner, dedicated to positive social change.
With these thoughts in mind:
Write a brief description of two topics related to culture that you might be interested in researching further. Then, as a future scholar-practitioner, explain two ways you might impact social change in relation to culture and psychology. Be specific and use examples to illustrate your points.
