This week, students will submit a rough draft essay of at least 400 words choosing from topics about cultural universals, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, values versus norms in American culture, aspects of culture that might shock or not shock a time traveler from 1860s America, the meaning of socialization and the family's role, nature versus nurture, Gilligan's view of how gender impacts development, and psychological and sociological theories of development and socialization. The document provides these topic options and instructs students to develop their response with examples and avoid plagiarism.
