Importance of Intimacy in an Individual’s Psychosocial Development

October 11, 2018
Introduction
It is a generally accepted fact, within the field of psychology, that having an intimate partner is essential for the well-being and development of an individual. This necessity stems out from the human need, not only to reproduce, but also to have a partner that would help establish a sense of emotional and psychological security. In Erikson’s Stages of Psychosocial Development, the role of intimacy (versus isolation) in an individual’s development is described as a ‘critical turning point’ (between the ages of 18-40 years old) that heavily influences a person’s thoughts and personality. On the one hand, he noted that if a person successfully passes this point in life, then he is most likely to build “happier relationships and a sense of commitment, safety, and care within those relationships.” On the other hand, the failure in finding a partner makes a person more vulnerable to “isolation, loneliness, and sometimes depression” (McLeod). In light of this, this article would focus on the effects of intimacy (or the lack thereof) in the development of adults. In order to do this, an analysis would be made from interviews, published journals, and the author’s knowledge about the population in focus. Nonetheless, the author also believes that those who have not found an intimate partner in life are more vulnerable to different emotional, psychological, and social risks as mentioned by Erikson.
The Role of Intimacy in a Person’s Well-being and Development
In Erikson’s Stages of Psychosocial Development, he noted that finding ‘love’ is most important in the stage of Intimacy vs. Isolation (Closson, Mimiaga, and Sherman). Consequently, this stage is one of the longest phases in a person’s development, spanning from the age of 18-40. While it is believed that the risks of Isolation are much higher at this age, recent studies show that building romantic relationships is beneficial for both cognitive and executive functioning during the latter stages of life, while also reducing the possibilities of depression (Malone, Liu, and Vaillant). In the interview done by the author to both single and married adults, it is apparent that most of the respondents who have intimate partners (live-in partners, spouses, or boyfriends/girlfriends) exude a more positive outlook in life and more satisfied with their jobs and their current relationships in life. In contrast, those who have not yet found any romantic relationships – while not necessarily having a negative outlook – could be argued to be less positive as plenty of them have reported having changed their job in the past year, while trying to find “their passions.”

Instructions: We need to research and write about a biological influence and psychological/social influence on a chosen facet of sexuality. I have attached a topics list to pick from. I would prefer the topic “pair bonding” but it is largely up the the writer based on the sources they find. We need to find four primary sources to cite to support our claims, two primary sources to support the biological influence on our facet of sexuality and two primary sources to support the the psychological/social influence. I’ve also attached assignment instructions and the rubric, and an APA guide.
PSYCH 204 HUMAN SEXUALITY Research Assignment
Instructions
Select one facet of human sexuality (e.g., sexual orientation, gender identity, attraction) and discuss BOTH of the following: • A biological influence on your chosen topic • A psychological or social influence on your chosen topic
The purpose of this assignment is to help you develop insight into the biological, social, and psychological perspectives that inform issues of human sexuality. As we have seen, many topics in this course are multifaceted and have multiple influencing factors. Examples of topics and hints about what would make an appropriate topic are posted to D2L.
The assignment is worth 16% of your final grade. Without approved documentation, late assignments will be penalized 10% per day, including weekends. Documentation must be submitted before the deadline to be considered.
Citations
You will need to cite two primary sources for the biological influence and two primary sources for the psychological/social influence, for a total of four primary sources. A primary source includes a book or a peer-reviewed journal article. Using a magazine (such as Scientific American) is not a proper peer-reviewed source and will not get you full marks. Do not use Wikipedia for your references, as Wikipedia is open to edit by anyone and is not peer-reviewed.
Remember that you MUST cite every idea that you write about that is not your own. Even if you just cited the same source in the sentence before. When in doubt, include a citation.
It is better to paraphrase an idea than to directly quote it – use direct quotes sparingly and only when they are really necessary for impact. Remember though that when you paraphrase it is still an idea from another source and it must be cited.
Format
The total assignment will be a maximum of four pages, not including your cover page and reference (i.e., up to six pages altogether including the cover page and reference page). Use Times New Roman, 12 pt font, double spaced. Use 1” margins on the page.
You must follow proper APA formatting to get full marks (details about APA formatting are posted to D2L) 4 pages / approx 1100 words | APA | Psychology | Research Paper | Undergraduate |

Aniconism and Iconoclasm: 400-word essay
Due: Friday October 23 @11:00am
Up until now we have encountered three moments in which the use of images has been debated within the monotheistic religions. Judaism was profoundly aniconic, without images of its God, and banned images entirely, as did Islam. Christianity ultimately embraced images of its God (and other holy figures, the Virgin and Saints above all), but not without extensive debate, with a strong opposition party supporting a ban on images in the 8th century. In the 16th century, the Lutheran and Calvinist Reformation reopened that debate. Calvinists removed all images from their churches, while Lutherans settled on a lesser role of images. The Roman church, henceforth Catholicism, however completely embraced the use of images. This assignment asks you to look at one side of the debates (the position taken AGAINST images), primarily in Christianity.
Iconoclasm is the destruction of images. Therefore, iconoclasm was the enactment of a policy against images, many, many of which populated the altars and walls of Christian churches since the time the Western Church officially embraced images. Iconoclasm, or the destruction of images, is an action that often followed the debates over the question: should there be images of the Christian God and Saints, or should there be no images?
The primary sources that you are reading for this assignment discuss their aniconic policies, not the iconoclasm that arose from them.
To Do List:
Read: (Please Please you must read before writing/ only use the sources I gave u )
The Torah (Old Testament): selected passages of God’s Commandments to the Israelites (this was assigned reading in Week 4)
Iconoclasm debates of the 8th-9th centuries CE in the Christian Church: excerpt from the Caroline Books
Debates of the 16th century that divided the Roman Church into Reformed and Catholic confessions: excerpt from Andreas Karlstadt, “On the Removal of Images” (1521) (pp. 21-25). Karlstadt was a Reform theologian of the early 16th century who advocated the extreme position of disallowing images in the churches.
Write: 400 words
In your essay analyze the different reasons the writers of the three texts give to reject images of the Jewish God (in the case of the Torah, or Old Testament) and the Christian God( in the case of the Caroline Books and in the treatise of Karlstadt); further, discuss the overlap and distinctions between the concepts of damnatio memoriae and iconoclasm.
Proofread, read out loud
Format: 12 point type, Times Roman Font, Double-spaced. Chicago Style citations.

Audience and content audit.
Audience audit.
Reverse Garbage is a not-for-profit organization that creatively converts waste from landfills to items that are sold to the general public at a small fee. The organization accepts industrial discards from more than three hundred companies hence diverting them from landfills. Some of the materials include clothes and textiles, food and drinks packaging, furniture and fittings (Territory & Wales, 2010). The materials can be used by clients as art and craft, making costumes, making jewelry, film arts, theatre, and furniture. The company also offers education, educational tours and learning workshops for learning institutions and the general public (Maack, 2010). The organization was set up in 1974 by a team of teachers that was passionate about reducing the amount of solid waste that got its way into the landfills and promote the reusing of materials in their classroom. For the thirty-six years that the organization has been in operation, it has primarily focused on reducing land pollution, and providing the general public with affordable goods.
The company has several revenue streams. It encourages donations of waste from residences, companies and industries to prevent the waste from going to landfills. It sells the reusable and recyclable items to the general public at a low cost and raises funds from running learning workshops, creative reuse sessions, and educating students on environmental conservation (Maack, 2010). The services offered by the company are accessed by customers when they visit the workshop in Marrickville. The wide variety of the goods that are offered by the company are also available in the workshop. Alternatively, the company posts photos of some of the items that they have on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and customers make orders online. The items are then posted to them.
The current customers for Reverse Garbage include the lovers of art that stay around Marrickville and the online users that order the products on social media platforms. The number of people that lover art and would make use of the wide range of products are innumerable and scattered throughout the social media platforms. People that advocate for environmental sustainability could also provide a potential market for the products, since buying from Reverse Garbage would contribute greatly to reducing solid waste dumping in landfills. These prospective customers can be reached through popular social media networks such as Twitter and Facebook. The interaction between the company and clients on Twitter is limited. Most of the posts go without likes and retweets. There are almost zero replies on all the posts. On Facebook and Twitter, the company receives a handful of comments with people requesting for if they can donate items and placing orders. The company responds on the same day that the comments are left. Some of the replies, however, are left late on the following day. For most of the replies, the replies are just a direction to an email for a private transaction.
Content audit.
The most conspicuous items when you visit the Facebook page of Reverse Garbage is the cover page. At the time of this audit, the cover page was a green poster highlighting the hours that the company is open. The profile picture contains the logo of the company. The logo is white and pink themed. The page has a total of 86, 764 likes. Based on the opinion of 478 people, the company has a rating of 4.5 on a scale of one to five. Also conspicuous on the Facebook page is information regarding to the company. The about section gives the geographical location of the company; 8/142 Addison Road, Marrickville, New South Wales 2204. Next to the location, the company provides a link to the directions. It also contains a link to the website of the company, and the twitter handle of the company. One phone number, through which customers can communicate with the organization, is provided. The about section excellently outlines the company overview, the mission of the company, and the products offered by the company.
A quick google search of Reverse Garbage directs one to the website of the company and the Facebook page. The company posts at least one post every day. The posts are mainly meant for marketing the items that are offered by the company. The company also shares news about the various projects that the company is involved in. The page contains items the company thinks are most relevant at a given point. For instance, in the face of the widely spreading Covid-19 pandemic, the company is advertising their creatively made and beautiful face masks. The images of the items captured are of a high quality and eye-catching. It is difficult to scroll through the page without stopping to admire the beautiful items. For each of the items, the price of the items is displayed. The company also uses the Facebook page to pass well whishes to the customers during holidays such as Easter and Christmas.
The posts on the Facebook page are written in a clear and easy to understand language. They provide a brief description of the products before giving the price of the items. The posts, however, fail to give clear direction to the location where customers can find the items. The posts assume that the client had already gone through the about section of the page and found out the location. While the company provides a link to the online market where the people can shop for the products, most the posts do not direct the online users to the online market. While most of the posts are about self-promotion, the company also posts information that is useful to the followers. The company posts some of videos that guide people on various ways through which they can creatively divert residential waste. It also promotes the safety of the clients by encouraging them to stay at home during the pandemic.

Instructions: I need a 1 page personal statement for a digital media design course i plan to undertake in University (Masters Degree). Basically, this personal statement is more like an admission essay, max 500 words. I have previously completed Bachelor degree Information Technology and a Postgraduate course in Computer Science. The reason i wanted to do this (digital media design) course is I am currently working in a bank, as a project manager. There are a lot of projects that require special skills (i have the concept but applying the concept in the content will require specific skills) that I can acquire from this course, e.g. programming languages, animations, design and web application etc). Also, i failed to achieve the computer skills that i wanted to acquire (my ex-university only teach simple programming language, e.g. mainly in Java, but nothing else) in my previous University. Just 1 programming language is not sufficient to help me in my current company. This is why i wanted to acquire more computing skills this time.
This is roughly want i wanted to express in the personal statement essay, you can transform it as much as you want as long as the essay can be written interestingly. I will set 10 days dateline but if you can complete it earlier, it will be better but no hurry.

Lesson Material for your reference:
Section One: What is Diversity and How Does it Impact Us?
In the 1980s there was not one country that allowed same sex marriage. Most people where either ‘out’, and very political about being LGBT or, most, were in the ‘closet’. Same sex couples were not allowed to adopt children and most people thought of HIV/AIDS as the ‘gay disease’.
Diversity and Marginalization:
Thinking back to high school, your school might have had a poster with the word “Welcome” in many different languages. You are probably reminded of those days where you celebrated the diversity of your peers and you ate different ethnic foods and may have been introduced to traditional clothes and dances. That certainly is one side of diversity: the idea and belief that Canada is an accepting multicultural mosaic. However, that is only one side of the coin. In fact, there has been a long tradition of scholars and activists challenging the notion of diversity and multiculturalism. One such person is the York University scholar, Himani Bannerji. In her 2000 book, The Dark Side of the Nation: Essays on Multiculturalism, Nationalism and Gender, Bannerji identifies what she terms the ‘paradox of diversity’. Using the term/description “women of colour” as an example, she argues that the description creates a “vague and pleasant” description that replaces race with ‘colour’ and suggests alliance among women. Doesn’t “women of colour” sound much more pleasant than “gender and race”? By changing the way that something is described (recall multicultural / diversity attempts at your high school), Bannerji argues we erase the realities of race, racism, white privilege, and oppression. Her point is that using the terms such as ‘women of colour’ reflects ideologies of power relations by serving to regulate power. This other perspective on diversity suggests that human diversity is not about ‘getting along’ but that human diversity is part of historical and ideological oppression. On a sliding scale where diversity and multiculturalism are on the one end, and anti-oppression / anti-racism are on the other, it’s easy to imagine where Bannerji sits.
To better understand white privilege, please read Peggy McIntosh’s (1988) excerpt about unpacking privilege (2 pages). As you read, take note of your thoughts and feelings.
The reason why I wanted to include this discussion is because it is easy to think of human diversity as a vibrant celebration of colour, foods and diverse traditions rather than to dig a bit deeper and think about the systemic issues such as oppression and privilege that accompany human diversity.
At this point, you are probably not surprised to hear that diversity in the context of community psychology is not so much about the ‘beauty of difference and getting along’ but about recognizing that “human diversity has multiple intersecting dimensions” and is “an important part of understanding differences and similarities between individuals and communities, but also variation within communities” (Kloos et al., 2012, pp. 7-8).
According to Rappaport (1977), community psychology “is an attempt to support every person’s right to be different without risk of suffering material and psychological sanctions” (p. 1). This will often require the community psychologist to work toward providing socially marginal people with the resources, the power, and the control over their own lives, which is necessary for a society of diversity rather than conformity” (p. 23).
Section Two: Power and Oppression
Recall Himani Bannerji’s argument that ideologies of diversity and multiculturalism serve to strengthen existing power relations such as racism, oppression of others and white privilege. What do we mean when we refer to power and oppression? According to Kloos and colleagues (2012), “oppression occurs in a hierarchical relationship in which a dominant group unjustly holds power and resources and withholds them from another group” (p. 231).
The Social Construction of Power:
To make those concepts livelier, I’d like you to watch a very interesting video on the social construction of oppression. In this video, you will watch a third grade teacher simulate the social construction of discrimination by introducing a two-day exercise to her class where students were intentionally discriminated against based on the colour of their eyes.
Oppression and Colonization:
As you have seen in this lesson, there are many forms of oppression. It can be overt (obvious and intentional) and it can also be covert (unintentionally discriminating against an individual or group of individuals based on pre-conceived assumptions that we have—biases that often come from “single stories”).
Another important concept to learn is “intersectionality”. Intersectionality refers to the interconnections between multiple socially constructed categorizations (e.g., race, gender, social class). Oppression of an individual or group with multiple intersecting personal identities becomes driven by multiple intersecting systems of discrimination and marginalization (Kloos et al., 2012). For example, examining the social mechanisms that drive violence against lesbian women of colour must consider the overlapping, complex nature of the various systems of oppression—rather than examining each factor separately.
Oppression can also be systemic. For example, the colonization of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit individuals, families, and communities is a form of oppression that has persisted throughout the history of Canada and continues to exist today.
So far in this course, you have learned a bit about some of the inequalities and discrimination faced by Aboriginal people in Canada. Now that you have also been introduced to different ways of understanding and honouring diversity, I would like for you to read a brief chapter (14 pages) written by a Mohawk woman , Patricia Monture-Angus, who worked as a legal scholar in several Canadian law schools.
This chapter is a story of her experience as “a woman, an Indian, and an Indian woman” (note: intersectionality) attending an academic conference about oppression. She challenges language around “disadvantage” and speaks about her experiences as a “minority”. She teaches important lessons about diversity and oppression that I think is a good way to wrap up this lesson. 1 page / approx 275 words | APA | English (US) 🇺🇸 | Essay | Social Sciences | Undergraduate |

Instructions: Chapter 5 is all about learning behavior. Each and everyone one of us has acquired a number of behaviors over many, many years. And whether these behaviors are good, bad or extremely ugly, they were learned through one of the three learning theories we’ve been discussing (at least according to learning theorists). The great thing about learning is that if a behavior can be learned, odds are that it can be unlearned. In this reflection paper your goal is to:
What is the behavior? Identify ONE BAD HABIT that you have LEARNED but would like to change. Choose ONLY ONE bad habit and focus on that. Do NOT choose something more complex that could be considered a personality trait or an emotion–that would be difficult to explain using learning theory. Remember, Behaviorists focus on OBSERVABLE, MEASURABLE behavior.
For example, don’t say “I’d like to change my anger,” or “shyness”, or “my tendency to please others”–these are NOT good choices. These are emotions/personality traits that are not likley to be learned through behaviorist theories.
BAD choices for this paper = anger, anxiety, shyness, rudeness, people pleasing etc.
GOOD EXAMPLES for this paper= procrastination, nail biting, smoking, drinking, overeating, too much TV/videogames/social media, etc. These can ALL be easily measured so that you can Something that you can easily see if you begin doing more or less of this habit. Then briefly describe the behavior and how it has become problematic in your life.
What learning theory applies? Identify which theory (classical conditioning, operant conditioning, or social-cognitive learning theory) best explains how you acquired the behavior and why? Be sure to use terminology that is appropriate to that learning theory. The point of your essay is to demonstrate your understanding of these theories and your ability to apply them accurately, so you MUST be detailed.
How can you unlearn this behavior? Now that you have explained how you acquired this behavior, use learning theory to discuss how you can extinguish the behavior. Which learning theory (classical conditioning, operant conditioning, or social-cognitive learning theory) will you use to help unlearn the behavior and how? What is the specific plan? Again, be sure to use appropriate learning theory terminology. It is necessary to demonstrate an understanding of the material in Chapter 5, Module 3.

The following grading rubric will be used, so make sure that you have accurately addressed each component. Remember, the point of the essay is to demonstrate an understanding of the theories presented in Chapter 5/Module 3 and your ability to accurately apply those theories:
