This a four part discussion paper where each discussion will consist of two paragraph each and three references per discussion.
Discussion 1
Prejudice – Realistic Conflict Theory: This theory states that limited resources lead to conflict between groups and result in increased prejudice and discrimination. Reading in Chapter 13 about the experiment carried out at the Boys Camp by Muzafer Sherif, use the Realistic Conflict Theory to explain why the groups fought. In addition, list and discuss the six conditions that the experimenters used to reduce the prejudice and offer your opinion on why you think any or all of these conditions would be effective.
Discussion 2
Aggression on Television: A recent study found that 58% of Television programs contained violence, and of those selected, over 78% showed no remorse, criticism of the violence, or penalty for the violent act. For this assignment you will be required to watch one hour of television and count the number of aggressive acts you view and rate each act on intensity and duration. Rate the intensity of each act on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being low and 10 being extreme violence. Rate the duration according to the number of seconds of violence you viewed. Discuss your results and express your views and understanding of at least two of the distinct reactions that explain why exposure to violence may cause aggression as described in your text.
DISCUSSION 3
On Stress. I have ‘stressed’ (pardon the pun) the importance of this chapter because it is so crucial to the overall well being of your life and of your academic success. In this discussion thread I would like you to discuss, 1. What is stress and how does it affect our health? 2. What is the long-term effect of a negative life event? 3. Complete the Social Readjustment Scale at https://www.peterfox.com.au/trauma_lifeevents.htm and determine your score. You may share your score if you like, but that is not required. 4. Does perceiving some control in a stressful situation help moderate our overall reaction to the stress? Give an example.5. What contributes most to job related stress and burnout? 6. Discuss the concepts of Type A and Type B personalities and determine which is better for the individual in the long term. 7. What are the best ways to deal with stress? One method is described at https://youtube/57N5I1bonZU (You may have to put this in your search engine to get there.) You may discuss your personal experiences if you like.
