Part II: explain how your chosen development was shaped by its social or cultural context and how it, in turn, affected society.
Part III: get you sci fi on! Imagine that your chosen development had emerged from a different social or cultural context, or with a different representative population. Discuss how this imagined context would have changed the development’s effects on society and/or other STEM fields.
Part IV: what does the scenario you discussed in part III tell us about the social context of STEM research? Does it suggest any changes that we could make to reap more benefits from STEM going forward?
We associate witchcraft with Halloween and dark magic, but for many cultures, including ours in the past, witchcraft was very real. For the Azande, what phenomena does witchcraft explain? How is the witchcraft determined to be the cause? What common characteristics do you find among those accused of witchcraft? How are the accused witches dealt with? Finally, how does the belief in witchcraft reinforce Azande worldview and the social status quo?

Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior. Surprisingly, many people do not understand why studying psychology is important to an early childhood educator. By studying psychology, early childhood educators have a better understanding of how children develop and learn. For this assignment, take on the role of an early childhood teacher. Your principal/director just asked you to create a brochure explaining to future teachers: The connections between psychology and learning. The role psychology plays in understanding childrens development (age birth to 8 years old). Why teachers need to understand psychological theories and research.
