...Question 2 It has been just over three full months since I walked into a class full of people I could not recognize. I looked around to see if I can spot any familiar faces but that was difficult as the class was filled with Wits Plus first year students. As a person who prefers nurturing the already existing relationships, I felt a bit nervous when I could not find the people I know in this class. However a sense of relief quickly swept over me when some friends whom I am on third year Psychology class walked in the lecturer room. Even though I believe that communication is undoubtedly one of the most important skills to hone, I walked in not expecting much from the course as I believed it would be nothing different from assertive training, verbal communication and presentation skills that I had already been taught in my prior degree. In this essay I will discuss my personal growth as an individual, the learning I take away with me from the Communication Course. Lastly, I will reflect on the skills and knowledge that I have acquired from this course....

...Intra-and Interpersonal Competencies Written Assignment The main character in the case study, Sammy, showed inability in inter- and intrapersonal communication. He is facing various daily life problems including defining his self-value and identity, getting along with parents and managing personal emotions. The first problem is that Sammy failed to develop self concept (i.e. Who he is, what he wants to do) but blindly follows his parents’ opinion to persuade further study in college. Based on Identity Statuses Theory, Sammy is experiencing identity diffusion (Marcia,1966) in which he failed to attain commitment (occupational belief) and crisis (actively exploring and making conscious decision to understand his own identity). Besides, he has low self-esteem (i.e. the value he placed on himself) as he consider his classmates are more competent in both sports and academic performance than he does. He feels inferior at school. In order to overcome Sammy’s identity crisis, he should try to explore his own identity by constantly questioning himself about his own value, beliefs and academic pursuit to clarify his occupational and social roles. He can join various extra-curricular activities such as sports and music to discover his inborn talent. He might not be good at sports but he might be good at music or arts and crafts. To boost self-esteem, he needs to gain approval from peers to develop sense of belongingness. He could join more class activities and be generous (e.g. share...

...Assignment in Society and Culture 1. What is Social Science? Why do we have to study Social Science? * Social Science is the study of the characteristics, changes, causes and consequences of human behavior in groups. It provides an understanding of the structure and dynamics of social systems from small interactions to entire societies and world systems. * We study it to be able to evaluate the effects of gender, ethnic background, social class, religion, and community on an individual or group. Another is that the sociological perspective is crucial for success in today’s multicultural and multinational work environments. Thus, a background in social science is valuable preparation for careers in almost any modern organizational setting. 2. What are the disciplines of Social Science? * Social science is actually the commonly used as an umbrella term to refer to the academic disciplines concerned with society and the relationships among individuals within a society. These disciplines include anthropology, economics, political science, psychology and sociology and many more. 3. What is Anthropology? Why do we study Anthropology? * Anthropology is the study of humans, past and present. Anthropologists look at cross-cultural differences in social institutions, cultural beliefs, and communication styles. They often seek to promote understanding between groups by "translating" each culture to the other, for instance by spelling out common, taken-for-granted...

...Health and Psychology HCA 250 Angela C. Final Assignment Week 9 Instructor: E. G. Psychology’s Relation To Diabetes Diabetic Overview Viewed as a metabolic disorder, the cells in the body do not respond appropriately to the insulin present in the body of a person with type 2 diabetes. This is due to the dysfunction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas that can result in insulin resistance or insulin deficiency. Risk factors that can contribute to the development of type two diabetes include obesity, aging, a less active lifestyle, and unhealthy dietary habits that include food high in saturated and trans fats and certain pre-existing medical conditions. Other medical risk factors that may exacerbate or give rise to type-two diabetes include hypertension, high cholesterol, chronic pancreatitis, glucocorticoid drugs, and Cushing’s syndrome. Monitoring blood glucose levels with a glucose meter can help in both prevention and treatment. Dietary modification which includes a high fiber intake, increased exercise levels, maintaining a normal body weight and being a non-smoker and moderate alcohol drinker can play a significant role in prevention and treatment. Treatment can also be provided through the administration of different insulin formulations either orally or through subcutaneous injection. Type 1 diabetes is similar yet very distinct in its cause. The beta cells in the pancreas are attacked in what is believed to be an...

In South African adolescent marks the transition from childhood to adulthood, which in some instances is filled with a period of opportunities, challenges, changes, skills, pressures and physical, cognitive and psychosocial development. Teenagers are faced with an immense amount of peer pressure, physiological and emotional changes, sexual experimentation that increases the risk of pregnancy or sexually transmitted disease. While many teenagers may engage in pre-marital sex some never become pregnant. Teenage pregnancy has become all too common in this day and age. Some teenagers think it will not happen to them and do not use necessary precautions to protect themselves against pregnancy. There are several causes for teen pregnancy and the effects can be life changing. Research done has indicated that there is not one single cause to teenage pregnancy, but there are whole host of causes to this pandemic.

Pregnancy at a very young age may result in pregnancy complications that...

Theorizing about families involves conceptualizing the lived experiences of people in relation to their own families as well as developing explanations of the social role of families in society, tracking demographic changes over time, and identifying ideologies and social forces that influence and are influenced by family life.

Some look at “the family” as a unit and focus in on the internal dynamics of relationships between family members, while others look at “the family” as a subsystem or institution in the larger scope of...

...INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY Definition Psychology is an academic and applied discipline that involves the scientific study of mental functions and behaviors. Psychology has the immediate goal of understanding individuals and groups by both establishing general principles and researching specific cases, and by many accounts it ultimately aims to benefit society. In this field, a professional practitioner or researcher is called a psychologist and can be classified as a social, behavioral, or cognitive scientist. Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior, while also exploring the physiological and neurobiological processes that underlie certain cognitive functions and behaviors. Psychologists explore concepts such as perception, cognition, attention, emotion, phenomenology, motivation, brain functioning, personality, behavior, and interpersonal relationships. While psychological knowledge is often applied to the assessment and treatment of mental health problems, it is also directed towards understanding and solving problems in many different spheres of human activity. The majority of psychologists are involved in some kind of therapeutic role, practicing in clinical, counseling, or school settings. Many do scientific research on a wide range of topics related to mental processes and behavior, and typically work in university psychology departments or teach in other academic settings (e.g., medical schools, hospitals)....
