Read the article, General systems theory: Its past and potential. Pay particular attention to how von Bertalanffy’s general system theory originated and evolved and how the author of the article characterizes the terms, “systems,” “structures,” and “relations.”
Review pp. 514-515 of Bronfenbrenner (1977) to understand the definitions of each system within the ecological systems model.
Review Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Model, located in this week’s learning resources. Focus on the meaning and interrelationships among the microsystem, exosystem, and macrosystem from a child’s perspective. Consider how these systems would be generalized to apply to an adult.
Using Bronfenbrenner’s model, identify two out of three systems (microsystem, exosystem, macrosystem) and their settings (school, work, family gatherings, neighborhood, country, etc.). Think about how demands and expectations in one setting might impact your ability to meet demands and expectations in another setting
Post a response to the following:
Identify the two systems you chose and describe settings within each system that influence your life and behavior/activity. Then explain how demands and expectations in one setting could impact the ability to meet demands and expectations in another setting. Be specific.
Note: Support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources and any additional sources you identify using both in-text citations and references. It is strongly recommended that you include proper APA format and citations.

What are potential obstacles that may prevent intracultural communication and intercultural communication, and how do these obstacles differ based on cultural differences? Include an example of obstacles to intracultural and intercultural communication from your life.

Transformational change within an organization can be prompted by a wide variety of sources. Organizations today are impacted by technology, globalization, market changes, consumer demands, diversity, workplace culture, their employees, and a host of other influences. Companies often respond to these influences by undertaking transformations.
Imagine that you have been hired by a new owner of an organization who wants to evaluate existing employees and create a plan for hiring new employees to replace ineffective existing employees. You will be assisting him in developing a transformational change plan for the organization.
Along with the development of a transformational plan that transitions from existing employees to new hires, you will also review your own skills and competencies with regard to your chosen field of study.
To begin the plan, use this link to find a list of occupations.
Complete the following for this assignment:
Pick an occupation from the list generated that is close to a position that you hope to achieve with your degree.
Briefly summarize the tasks, knowledge, skills, and abilities that are associated with that job.
Individual or interpersonal process interventions aim at improving organizational performance by developing the specific skills of individuals. Using structural, technological, and behavioral strategies, complete the following:
Identify how you can use information about work positions to develop an organizational intervention that leads to change.

Because many of you may not have prior teaching experience, your philosophy statement does
not need to include details related to past teaching methods or experiences, but rather a
discussion of what you value educationally and the methods you would use if you were an
instructor in the future. Teaching philosophies are personal and subjective. Therefore, the
specific content of your statements will vary depending on your individual experiences and
values. To help you formulate your teaching philosophy, below is a list of some general
questions you may wish to consider when you are composing your statement:
 What are your motivations for teaching?
 Why do you believe teaching is important?
 What are some of the positive qualities, teaching methods, or relational skills you have
seen in prior teachers you have had?
 What teaching methods do you believe are the most effective and valuable?
 In your opinion, what are some effective ways to assess student learning?
 What are some ways you would choose to evaluate your own teaching performance?
 What are your future teaching goals?
 How do you hope your future students would describe you as a teacher?
 What specific skills would you hope your students would gain from your class?
 What is your vision of an ideal classroom climate?

Bring to mind a specific conflict that interests you. It should be one in which you have been involved, witnessed, or heard about which has not been successfully addressed.
How you would characterize conflict and your primary beliefs and attitudes about it?

Review this week’s Learning Resources on Piaget’s cognitive development theory. Pay particular attention to the description of each state of cognitive development.
Consider a favorite toy or game you played with during childhood or adolescence.
Using Piaget’s theory, identify the stage of development you were in when you played with this toy or game. How did the skills evident in that stage affect how you played with your toy or game?
Post a response to the following:
Describe your favorite toy or game as a child. Indicate at which cognitive stage of development you were when you played with this toy and explain how your play reflected that stage of cognitive development. Provide scholarly citations and references to support your post.
Note: Support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources and any additional sources you identify using both in-text citations and references. It is strongly recommended that you include proper APA format and citations.

Respond to at least two of your colleagues’ posts (on different days), who selected a dysfunction different than you did, by addressing the following questions:
How might you use the information presented by your colleague to guide and inform your professional decision-making as a forensic psychology professional?
What insights or questions do you have related to your colleagues’ post?
Note: Your responses to colleagues should be substantial (200–300 words) and supported with scholarly evidence from your research and/or the Learning Resources and properly cited in APA style. Personal anecdotes are acceptable within meaningful responses but cannot stand alone as a response. Responses should enrich the initial post by supporting and/or adding a fresh viewpoint and be constructive, enhancing the learning for all students.

Studies have shown that family disruption impacts personality development. In an analysis on a longitudinal survey from 1970, researchers found that self-esteem, high sense of control over one’s own life, and low behavioral problems positively develop between the ages 10–16. However, the results showed that children who experience a family disruption between these ages make less progress, experiencing lower self esteem, a low sense of control over their lives, and more behavioral problems. Researchers also found that the younger the children are who experience a family disruption, the less detrimental these effects are long term.
