Overview: For this discussion activity, you will read a vignette, write a paper based on it, post a link to your paper to the discussion area, and comment on peers’ papers.
Vignette:
Mary Kaye (51) and Tracie Jean(42) have been in a committed lesbian relationship for 5 years. Mary divorced 6 years ago after realizing she was lesbian; she has 2 adult children. Tracie has always recognized that she was lesbian; she has always wanted children. Both are career women; Mary has a successful banking career and Tracie is a high school teacher and coach. This Caucasian couple lives in an all-white suburban neighborhood and approximately 1 year ago they adopted 2 African American girls; Tasha (8) and Niesha (6).
The girls grew up in inner-city and have been in and out of foster care both with other family members and strangers for nearly 4 years before being adopted. Their history is quite painful. The biological mother was addicted to heroin and the father was incarcerated for life. Tasha has been sexually abused on at least 3 known occasions, the last was while in the care of her maternal grandmother, she was assaulted by a male cousin (16). It is not clear if Niesha has been abused, though it is suspected.
The adopted parents are seeking therapy for Tasha because of increased acting out at school (fighting, grades falling, not following directions) and home (lying, stealing insignificant things, not following directions). The couple does not have concerns about Niesha’s behavior. Tasha has begun individual sessions with you and she presents quite pleasant and age-appropriate but you also suspect a lot of sadness. Mary is quite concerned about Tasha’s behavior and why she does not do better. Mary tends to be the disciplinarian but you have some concerns about what seems to be extreme tactics, i.e. she will take something of Tasha’s without her knowledge in order for her to ‘know what it feels like when your things are stolen’. Tracie is concerned as well but feels at a loss because of the girls’ horrific beginnings. Both parents feel that since the girls are in a better school and home, they should be doing better.
Though reluctant, Mary and Tracie will consider family therapy as well and you are considering parental couples’ work to address parenting skills and expectations.
Write a 3 – 6 page paper.
Using the Lerner text, select a developmental theory that we have not addressed thus far and apply it to one (1) family member in the above Vignette. You may also use the Crain text as a reference. Discuss how the developmental theory of your choosing might facilitate an understanding of the family member that you selected. What developmental questions would you want to consider? Be sure to clearly state the developmental theory used and the main theoretical ideas or tenets. Be sure to include how a humanistic perspective fits (or does not fit) with your conceptualization. Remember, the purpose is to explore how developmental theory can inform clinical work; demonstrating theoretical comprehension and application in relation to humanistic psychology. This is not an exercise in developing therapeutic strategies or interventions; instead, keep your focus on how the theory contributes to a better understanding of the challenges faced by the selected family member.
To be clear, this assignment is about the developmental experience of one (1) family member – not about treatment or therapy or the entire family. It is an opportunity to apply developmental theory in the family vignette.
Post your Clinical Vignette paper here as an attachment/link to share with peers.
Review at least two papers and then share your reflections or thoughts when you consider the theoretical approaches utilized to explain developmental processes. Keep your posting brief yet informative.
Reminder: Be sure to respond fully to the discussion prompts. Your first post should be formal and scholarly. Include references to the course material(s) and/or outside sources. Cite your sources in APA style. Make your postings on time.
The posting with your paper is due Sunday, March 27. Your response posts (2 minimum) are due on Wednesday, March 30. Be sure to post on time. No credit is awarded on late discussion posts.

You have to solve the case study in a form of an essay.

Structure of the essay:
Introduction – short summary of the situation
Body – answer the guiding questions
Conclusion – your personal opinion
Case study: Trade diversion in South America
In 1991, four South American nations, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, created a free trade area called Mercosur. The agreement had a drastic and immediate effect on trade: in four years the value of trade between these nations tripled. The region’s leaders proudly affirmed that Mercosur was a great success, that it was part of a much larger package of economic reforms.
But while Mercosur has managed, with clear success, to increase intraregional internal trade, the theory of preferential trade areas tells us that even though agreements are working out, their outcome does not have to be positive: if the new trade occurs at the expense of trade that, in other circumstances, would have occurred with the rest of the world (if the pact diverts trade, instead of creating it) could, in fact, reduce welfare. Indeed, in 1996 a study prepared by the World Bank’s chief trade economists concluded that, despite Mercosur’s success in increasing regional trade (or, rather, precisely because this success has occurred at the expense of other trade) the net effects in the affected economies are probably negative.
In essence, the report affirmed that due to Mercosur, consumers in member countries were induced to buy expensive products from their neighbors instead of cheaper products bearing heavy tariffs from other countries. Specifically, due to Mercosur, Brazil’s highly protected but relatively inefficient automobile industry has acquired a captive market in Argentina, displacing imports from elsewhere. “These conclusions”, stated the first draft of the report, “appear to constitute the most compelling and surprising evidence produced to date regarding the potential adverse effects of regional trade agreements.”
But that was not what the final report that was published claimed. The initial draft was leaked to the press and generated an angry protest from the Mercosur governments, particularly from Brazil. Under pressure, the World Bank revised the publication, and ended up issuing a lighted-up version that included a series of allegations. Even so, in the published version, the report made a defense of the fact that Mercosur, if not totally counterproductive, has nevertheless produced considerable trade diversion.

Guiding questions
What are the advantages of regional trade agreements? List at least 5 advantages (in the social, economic, or political realms).
What are the disadvantages of regional trade agreements?
What positive and negative effects of Mercosur does the text mention?
Are these effects restricted to Mercosur or are they part and parcel of every regional agreement? Use arguments to explain your point of view.

SkySafari can help you identify stars, planets and constellations by holding your phone up to the sky – as you move the phone around, the sky chart follows your motion.
SkySafari 6 shows you 120,000 stars, hundreds of the best-known star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies in the sky; including all of the Solar System’s major planets and moons, and more than 200 asteroids, comets, and satellites.

Unit 6: Star Observations:
During this course, you will move through two seasons, and with this being an online course you will also find that your classmates live in many different areas of the world “north and south of the equator”. One night during each unit you will go outside (use the same specific location for each observation) and look at the night sky and describe the stars that you can see at your zenith. You will prepare a brief discussion post discussing the star groups that you were able to see during your night observations. Discuss the challenges you experienced in being able to see the stars. Be sure to provide your “general location” (north, south, east, west within a particular state, country) (NOT YOUR ADDRESS), and the date and time of your observation at the top of your discussion. The link below will help you identify the star groups. Make sure you select the correct star map for your area and season. You can also use SkySafariPro on your cell phones to help identify the star groups. Information on downloading the SkySafariPro is in the Getting Started Module at the top of the Home Page.

Discuss the role of classroom management changing scholars behavior.

Tasks: For this assignment, you will be asked to do the following:
Watch 2 children’s programs that are focused on the socialization and education of youth aged 9 to 12 years old and examine them for direct or indirect messages related to race and appropriate girl- versus boy-“behaviors, interests, actions, or hobbies.”
Your determination that a program contains behavior that might be portrayed as race (or ethnicity) specific can be based on the race/ethnicity of a single character or of the majority of the characters featured in the program.
Take note of/record which racial group or groups appear to be promoted during the show. Take note of/ and record the genders being promoted in the program and the behaviors, interests, or actions of all identified groups.
Programs that would be considered neutral, would have a similar number of children from majority and minority racial and/or gender groups represented. Neutral shows would also include “fictional” and/or non-human characters (i.e. cartoon character humans with non-traditional skin tones (i.e. blue, green, orange), or animals of any type, etc.).
Respond to the stated prompts discussed in the assignment information below.

Your response must address all of the content criteria and formatting requirements below:
From viewing the shows, what types of cultural messages about race and gender were present in each show? Again, you must clearly discuss the prompts for all shows which you watched
Type of program watched (Criterion 1): (this criterion should take approximately 2-3 paragraphs to address)
Clearly describe what type of TV show/program you watched. This includes the name of the show and the age of children it is intended to target.
(Remember, you should be discussing programs targeted at children aged 9 to 12 years old)
Identification of Characters (Criterion 2): (this criterion should take approximately 1-2 paragraphs to address)
For possible racial bias: Were the characters in each program identified by race or ethnicity? This can be direct or indirect identification (e.g. a person might classify the character as a specific race/ethnicity based on physical features or characteristics.) Were the featured children of one race/ethnicity or diverse racial and ethnic categories?
For possible gender bias: Were characters using male/female pronouns? Were most of the characters male/female or both equally?
Categorized Behavior (Criterion 3): (this criterion should take approximately 1-2 paragraphs to address)
Racial Bias: If characters were identified (directly or indirectly) as members of a specific race/ethnicity, what were some of the behaviors, actions, traits, etc associated with the group or individual? Here you’re being asked to think about direct or indirect messages about race/ethnicity (e.g. what does this group do, what is this group like etc).
Gender Bias: If characters were identified using gendered terms, what were some of the behaviors, actions, traits, etc associated with each gender? Here you’re being asked to think about direct or indirect messages about gender (e.g. “what boys do” or “what girls do,” etc)
Neutral Characters (Criterion 4): (this criterion should take approximately 1-2 paragraphs to address)
Did the programs show any characters portrayed neutrally? What kind?
This means identify any characters which appeared to be marketed to all racial groups, genders, OR were not explicitly race/gender-specific.
Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination (Criterion 5): (this criterion should take approximately 1-2 paragraphs to address)
Briefly define and explain the differences between stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. Do not just copy from the textbook. You are being asked to explain and discuss this information. Thus, you need to use your critical thinking skills and logic to make connections, compare, and contrast your own experiences and knowledge with the ideas/research discussed in the textbook.
As part of your discussion make sure to provide a clear example of each.
When considering the children’s programs you watched, did they display characters in a stereotypical racial or gendered manner? If so, how? Provide specific examples from the shows. If they did not, discuss how the shows displayed characters in a “well-rounded” and impartial manner.
Self-Categorization, Social Roles, and Identity (Criterion 6): (this criterion should take approximately 1-2 paragraphs to address)
How might the images seen in TV programs/media and labeling of toys influence children’s racial and gender identities?
Provide clear examples, information, and research from the relevant textbook chapter to support your response. You are being asked to use critical and logical thinking to make the connection between racial/gender representation in media and racial and gender identity development in children.
