A Study Based on Rosenbergs Research

Materials and methods describe the resources used in the experiment and how it was performed. Reading the methods of previous studies enables scientists to repeat the experiment and collect their own data. This data can be used to support other’s findings.

3. Sample Population: Who exactly was used in the study? How many? (Be as specific as possible.)

This investigation looks at the self descriptions of two child participants and how they develop with age using the findings of Rosenberg (1979) as a reference. Rosenberg found that the self descriptions of younger children, physical qualities were more prevalent, whereas older children focused on their inner beliefs and character attributes.

The first component of an identity is persons’ self-conceptions. Self-conceptions are someone’s own opinions about their abilities and attributes. It also incorporates and internalizes outside information about that person. An adolescent may describe themselves as pretty, or intelligent, or awkward if they have been in numerous situations that made them feel that way. These self-conceptions will change and diversify

The targeted audience for this project is to school aged children both male and female, from the ages of 6-8 years of

Background A chemical equation that is in equilibrium will naturally balance itself out should either the products are the reactants be increased, or other stresses such as temperature and pressure are placed on it. However, as with a lever in physics, the fulcrum or balancing point is not always in the middle. In most cases, one side of the equation will be favored more. Ergo, the equation will try to balance to this point of equilibrium.

As a child, I remember my relatives offering me a piece of gum and ending up finding out that it was a shocking toy! Surprisingly, “Ouch!,” I said. Comparing that shock to an electric chair, could you imagine the pain? In 1953, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who shared the same admiration for the Communist party, were both executed with an electric chair. Due to their involvement with the Soviet Union and transferring information from their connections during World War II, they were caught and executed.

Young people are easily persuaded and if someone so desired, they could mold them into the person they want. Commonly, young children develop their identity from going the school, playing with other children, and from their home life. When children go to school, if they are

Our identity can sometimes be shaped by the way others see us. As we have seen, the way in which others view us can have some sort of impact on how we see ourselves. There are also other contributing factors such as our years of adolescence, the basic human need of wanting to belong and maturing; all play an equally important part in the forming of our character and who we are. On balance it appears that there is not only one influence in the shaping of our identity, but there are many.

Julius Rosenberg provided crucial information about the Manhattan Project as well as other atomic energy programs of the United States’ government. Interestingly, Julius Rosenberg, along with several of his agents, had degrees in electrical engineering. In fact, many of them held positions in highly classified military and government offices. Julius Rosenberg worked at the Army Signal Service, an agency that functioned with “responsibility for research and development in communications; procurement, testing, and operation of signal equipment; maintenance of signal security; and collection of communications intelligence” (“Records of the office of the Chief Signal officer”). Among the activities of the Rosenbergs, this was only the beginning.

The intended target for this literature review is school aged children which are 6-12 years of age. No specific race or socioeconomic class. This is intended for the United States, but not limited to one state. Gender does not matter; however, data shows girls are more likely than boys to be the target group for this specific topic.

The development of self starts at a very young age. When a preschooler is asked how are they different from other children, they usually look at their self concept. Self concept is their identity, of their set of beliefs about what they are like as individuals. Most preschoolers give inaccurate statements about their self concept. They usually overestimate their skills and knowledge. Preschool-age children also begin to develop a view of self that reflects their particular culture considers the self. An example of this would be to look at the different views as self between the Western culture and the Asian culture. Western cultures believe that an individual should seek attention of others by standing out
