Select any THREE (3) main concepts from the list below that you would like to define (in your own words), provide an example, and explain your example in a way that demonstrates that it is an example given the definition of the concept (more on what to do below)

  • Confidentiality (as it pertains to research)
  • Introspection
  • Fight or Flight
  • Head injuries
  • Habituation
  • Positive Reinforcement and Positive Punishment
  • Modeling
  • Chunking
  • Mnemonics/Study techniques
  • Tolerance (as it pertains to drug use)
  • Substance dependence
  • Nature vs. nurture
  • Parenting styles (you must discuss all of them)
  • Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development
  • Conformity
  • Availability heuristic
  • Introversion/Extroversion
  • Unconditional positive regard

When you have chosen your three concepts, please do the following for EACH CONCEPT:

  1. How would you define, IN YOUR OWN WORDS, what the concept is?
  2. Give an example of the concept either from your own life OR from current events. So, the example, of the concept, could either be one from your own life or, perhaps, it is something that you have recently heard about in the news/media. Be sure to give enough information about your example so that your instructor understands it.
  3. Please give a thorough explanation about how the example you provided relates back to (or demonstrates) the definition you gave for the concept. You should be relating the example back to the definition so that it is evident how the example illustrates/demonstrates the definition of the concept.

The following is an example of what you would be doing if the concept you chose was “the false consensus effect”:

The false consensus effect is when an individual overestimates how typical their own beliefs are, and assumes that everyone shares their beliefs and feelings about something. For example, I am an avid Beyoncé fan and am in love with her new album! When I meet new people I love to talk about Bey and baby Blue. Beyoncé is everything! Everyone should love her. Right? I mean, I love her. The reason that this is an example of the false consensus effect is because I am under the impression that it is normal for me to love Beyoncé, and that everyone loves Beyoncé just as much as I do. However, this is a false belief. In fact, it is possible that, in general, not everyone likes or admires Beyoncé, and that just because I like her it does not mean that everyone else likes her.

General Guidelines:

  • Your entire writing assignment should be:
    • ~2 pages (you will not lose points if it’s longer),
    • typed,
    • double-spaced,
    • Times New Roman 12-point font,

    • Your writing assignment should be saved as a Microsoft Word document (.doc or .docx).
  • Your writing assignment should be written in ESSAY form, with complete sentences and paragraphs. In general, your essay should follow the normal essay format, including:
    • Paragraph 1: introductory paragraph
    • Paragraph 2: 1st concept (definition, example, and explanation)
    • Paragraph 3: 2nd concept (definition, example, and explanation)
    • Paragraph 4: 3rd concept (definition, example, and explanation)
    • Paragraph 5: concluding paragraph

Complete Lesson 3 Primary Source History Paper Documents and Artifacts from Shays’ Rebellion 1786-87:

/in /by

Instructions

Choose and Read any 2 of the following (2 documents from the same collection are acceptable):

Write a 500 word essay citing the primary sources and Hine & Faragher at least 5 times. Cite at least two primary sourcesand Hine & Faragher. In your essay, think back to the readings from Hine & Faragher. The Primary Source essay is less formal than the Textbook Essay. You have some freedom with the Primary Source essay in that you may write in the first person if you would like. You may choose to write in a reflective manner as well. Think along these lines:

  • Where do the primary sources help you understand the Hine & Faragher text better?
  • How do the primary sources help you understand the people who wrote them?
  • How do the primary sources fit with what you understood of the History of this period before reading the sources?
  • Do they support what you have long thought regarding the period?
  • Do they challenge your views of the period?
  • Do they make you aware of things you had never heard of?
  • What surprises you in the primary sources?

Conversely, you may write in a scientific fashion, thinking along these lines:

  • Who are the authors?
  • What are the authors’ arguments?
  • What are the authors’ audiences?
  • Why did the authors produce the sources? What is going on in their worlds to prompt the sources’ production?
  • What were the primary sources’ effects on the world?
  • Why do the primary sources matter?
  • How do your primary sources bolster an argument in favor of one of your own theological, political, social, etc., theory
  • How do your primary sources support or refute Hine & Faragher.

Identify your chosen primary sources clearly so that I can find them. If they are from an outside source, be sure to include a link at the bottom of the essay.

Citations can be simple parenthetical citations. I simply need to be able to find what you are citing. For example:

  • (Hine & Faragher, 17)
  • (de las Casas, A Short Account, 2)
  • (Cortés, Letter)

If you are citing outside sources that I have not assigned, please provide a link at the bottom of the page, along with a title that matches the citation.

Always quote any words that are taken verbatim from Hine & Faragher or anyone else in order to prevent plagiarism. Citations gowithin the essay immediately after the sentence they support. Using the example from the Textbook Essay instructions, I might say:

  • The Civil War had a dramatic effect on the West in many ways, including an outward migration of African Americans from the South. (Hine & Faragher, 370-373) For example, Hine & Faragher describe “yet another mass exodus to the western promised land” in 1879 when free black Americans moved to western lands. (Hine & Faragher, 370-371)

Remember:

  • 500 words
  • Cite the primary sources and Hine & Faragher at least 5 times.
  • Cite at least 2 different primary sources, unless the instructions specifically state that one primary source will beenough.(This occasionally happens in lessons with longer primary sources.)
  • Identify your chosen primary sources clearly so that I can find them.
