 Please open the attached file. I would like for each question to be answered individually at least Three questions can fit on one page if needed. Each question should be answered as its own individual question in a complete paragraph (s) with references provided. 

Question 1

1. How does sociology contribute to the study of organizational behavior and organizational theory? 

2. Discuss the evolution of organizations and organizational sociology in the second half of the 20th century. 

3. What kinds of organizations are you a part of? Discuss the extent to which they fit the descriptions presented in this week’s course materials. 

Question 2

What does it mean to have a disorder? Discuss what it means for a child to have a psychological disorder, given the fact that what is abnormal remains challenging to define.

Question 3

To prepare for this portion of the dialog, the video 

Epigenetics

.

The argument of Nature vs. Nurture is dead and long since gone with the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003. Science has now demonstrated that each of us is the product of BOTH our genetic makeup AND the environment in which we develop. Our genes, in turn, have been shaped over time by the process of evolution. After viewing the video, define “epigenetic” and “epitasis”, and give a unique example of each. Then discuss how nature, nurture and evolution affect the development of an individual and how researchers determine the relative influence of heredity and environment.

Question 4

Processes in perception.

After watching the two videos below, discuss the role of higher-level or “cognitive” processes in perception. Then describe a situation in which you initially thought you saw or heard something, but then realized that your initial perception was in error. What was the role of bottom-up and top-down processing in this process of first having an incorrect perception and then realizing what was actually there?

Support your belief and use specific examples. You may refer to your assigned Week 1 readings or draw on scholarly online resources. The latter must be academic in nature (e.g. from the APUS online library) and not from pop culture and/or commercial websites, blogs, opinion sites, etc.
