In answering the questions, you should draw on contemporary and relevant literature. This can include the readings from the unit (excluding recording notes); peer-reviewed journal articles; developmental textbooks; statistical information from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Australian Institute of Family Studies or Australian Institute of Health and Welfare; government reports; or other online materials from credible sources (e.g. .gov, .org or .edu sites, not .net or .com sites). Please do not rely solely on information from the unit textbook when preparing your assignment – be sure to paraphrase and demonstrate wider reading. For each question you should use at least 3 references to support your discussion of the concept/theory and example. You can put all your references for all the questions on the one ‘Reference’ page at the end of the assignment (as per APA7 formatting). You will need to write approximately 500 words for each question. Questions are as follows: Question 1 Describe (~100 words) the nature versus nurture debate in your own words (with references to acknowledge the source/s of your ideas). Explain how nature and/or nurture has influenced development in your life to date. Draw on two (2) examples (~200 words each) and support your ideas with references. Question 2 Choose one of the developmental theories from Topic 2 (i.e. Week 2: Theories of human development). Describe (~100 words) this theory in your own words (with references to acknowledge the source/s of your ideas). Use this theory to explain developmental change you have experienced in your life to date. Draw on two (2) examples (~200 words each) and support your ideas with references. Note: I chose Freud’s psychoanalytic theory. Question 3 Describe (~100 words) the changes occurring in one form of development (physical, cognitive OR psychosocial) during adolescence (ages 12-24) (with references to acknowledge the source/s of your ideas). Explain how one (1) setting from Bronfenbrenner’s model can influence this form of development in adolescence positively (using one (1) example (~200 words)) and negatively (using one (1) example (~200 words)). Support your responses with references. Question 4 Describe (~100 words) the activity versus passivity debate in your own words (with references to acknowledge the source/s of your ideas). Explain whether the fetus is active OR passive when developing in the womb. Ensure you draw on two (2) examples (~200 words each) and references to support your argument.
