Write a paper that includes (4-5 pages, double spaced):
18 pts, An in-depth summary (2 pages)of the theory (at least two of the total pages). Who was the theorist? What was the context in which he developed his theory (time, place, influences, etc.?)

Are there aspects of the theory (such as how research was conducted) that raise ethical issues? Fully explain the criticism(s) and ethical issue(s). Use in-text citations.
10 pts, TWO examples of how this theory compares and contrasts with your own experience and beliefs about how children develop. Relate the theory to your own life — it could be your childhood, a child you know, your own children. You do not have to agree or disagree with the theory, just relate it to your real life experiences. Be detailed and specific.
10 pts, TWO examples of how your interactions with children will be influenced or guided by this theory. Now that you know about this theory, how might you use it when you are with children?

For this assignment you will locate and apply several scholarly resources related to identity development during adolescence and develop a 2 page handout of key points for a formal group; high school guidance counselors, parents, or people who work with adolescents.
Your handout should explain:
Identity development (both theory and research) at this stage and provide a general guide.
Summarize Erikson’s ideas about the stage of adolescence address the task of constructing an identity faced by adolescents.
Summarize Marcia’s ideas about identity development, address the most common shifts in identity statuses from early adolescence to middle and late adolescence
Talk about the influences on Identity Development, such as parenting styles, peer relationship, social media etc.
Talk about the outcomes associated with identity development based on Erikson’s and Marcia’s theories.
Provide tips on how to faciliate adolescents identity development for educators and parents.
Be creative with this assignment but be sure to cover identity development well via the scholarly resources you locate.
You may use bullet points and a brief description of each resource vs. standard essay format.
Always cite as needed and provide a reference page at the end.

Should any of the ideas put forth in the “Malthus on population” article be used as a foundation for how we view the world’s population?  If so, which ones and why?  Which, if any, of the ideas in the article are particularly dangerous or problematic? Why?

McMinn discussed guidelines when confronting sin during a counseling experience and the lectures reviewed some factors as well. Your thread needs to be answered in two parts:
First, what would be the challenges (based on the lectures) of confronting clearly wrong behavior/ “sin” in the life of your client if you were working in a secular human services setting? Draw in concepts from the lecture to support your position. How might the approach from psychology make it difficult to confront clearly wrong behavior (worldview and perspective on attribution, for instance)?
Second, assume that you counseled in a human services setting in which you could integrate spirituality and a Christian worldview. Review the following brief “case” and answer the following questions:
Based on the lectures and McMinn, why can’t a sensitive Christian counselor just automatically and quickly confront obvious sin in the life of the counselee?
Of the cautions mentioned by the course materials, which ones do you think counselors most often overlook?
From what you learned from the lectures/McMinn, how would you best address the clearly sinful behavior of this client?
Case Study
Jim is a client in your counseling center, who you have seen for about 8 months. He has been cycled through several other counselors and one described him as a “basket case.” Jim has several children, each with a different mother. He casually mentions that he rarely sees them, and since he can’t hold down a job, he provides no financial support. Some of his children are now in foster care. He engages in unprotected sex on a weekly basis. Typical of many of your clients, Jim drinks heavily and abuses street drugs. He comes to counseling only because it is required for him to receive the tangible support services of your agency. You are at the point in your counseling with Jim that you’d like to “let him have it” but your counseling training did not include that as a valid counseling technique. There is obviously much more to Jim’s story but suffice it to say that he is repeating many of the behaviors he learned from his parents’ dysfunctional parenting.
While you are sharing opinion here, you must demonstrate informed opinion by supporting your points with references to the course materials. Utlize rubric posted as well

Choose one of the following four topics to explore in this discussion: bereavement, death, and dying; job loss; sexual harassment or sexual assault; marital discord or family conflict. What cultural identities might be relevant for this topic? How could you ask a question about culture if a client brought up this topic?
In the second paragraph, discuss empathy as a means of bridging a value difference or conflict as explored by Hook et al. (2017). Include your faith in this discussion. Do not use subheadings.

find three peer-reviewed and full-text articles that oppose your stance and submit this bibliography below.  (Non-credible sources, like newspapers, should not be used and will not count as one of the required sources.  Try to use Proquest: make sure to select full text and peer-reviewed,)  This is the start of the body of your research paper.  Make sure to summarize each article in paragraph form (not bulleted), specifically indicating how the authors’ conclusions oppose your point of view on the topic.  Discuss the inferences the authors made in these articles to reach their conclusion. 
Make sure that you follow MLA Formatting
Your submission will include
Three separate paragraphs (4-8 sentences per paragraph).
Each paragraph will present a summary of the articles, why you selected your opposing sources, any inferences that you arrived at, etc.  Follow the format for the annotated bibliography (see links in class and review past English papers)
at least 500 words of total text for the entire paper (your sources do not count as text) 
MLA formatting throughout
I chose child slave trafficking for my topic of discussion. 

In Chapter 9. Hook et al. (2017) summarize their book with nine challenges. Choose two of these challenges that are meaningful to you, and discuss how you can implement these concepts. Include your faith in the discussion of these two challenges. Do not use subheadings. Write two paragraphs, one for each challenge.
