Biosocial Cognitive Psychosocial Analysis

In “Children Need to Play, Not Compete,” Jessica Statsky argues that younger children should not be involved in overly competitive sports. Statsky wrote that organized competitive sports were to the disadvantage of children both physically and psychologically. In youth athletics, some parents and coaches put their own dreams in front of their children 's’ well-being by stressing winning. Statsky concludes “all organized sports activities” to be remade as a more enjoyable game regardless of each athlete’s ability and athleticism. The author states many issues that kids have when they are forced to play a sport just to win or that they don’t enjoy. Some kids just don 't enjoy sports, but their parents force it on them. Certain organized sports programs promote winning over physical skills and self-esteem. Statsky brings up valid points that early childhood shouldn’t involve intense physical competition, which is associated with the risk of injury to the body and mind.

The development of young characters can be seen throughout the novel with the shift in responsibility to be a parent from Ma and Da to Audrey and Devon. “Sometimes, as Da had done, Devon took a thing to town to pawn. He pawned the box that Grandda’s money had come in and brought home second-hand shoes for me.” (135) Further, this can also be seen with Izzy’s adjustment to the rural farming conditions from a previous rich city life and Audrey’s brave decision to work for the selfish pig farmer; even little Harper realises that the world is not just fun and games. Despite the Flute family despising Vandery Cable, Audrey, transitioning into the role of a mature and dedicated second mother, takes this burden upon herself as she values her family’s welfare over her own. The courage and bravery needed to fill the shoes of the previous dependent characters shows how the next generation is helping to ease to hardships faced by the community. Being brave and facing ones fears is the only way to achieve anything in these merciless times and by Audrey facing her fears for the benefit of her family, we can see her develop from a young and naive teenager into a mature and independent adult. The bravery and sacrifices made by the young generation to support

Riley would question everyone about their motives for doing anything. The first to be interviewed was Dennis Koor. He explained that he was at his restaurant that whole night. The only people who left were Victoria Pepper and Samuel Ridges, another worker at Dennis’ restaurant. Dennis informed Riley that Samuel had left work in an angered mood. His motive was jealousy, and strives to do better to get more money than other restaurants. This concluded any further questioning towards to Dennis. The next to be interviewed was Ariana Lovette. She explained she had been at home, preparing to go to sleep. Her motive was love, which is why she choose to become a librarian. She loved to read books, anywhere and anytime. When asked if she had known who Jeffrey was, she gave no response. Her breathing got heavy and Riley realized this. She concluded the interview for the sake of Ariana. The last to be interviewed was Victoria Pepper. She explained she had gone home after work to study for test she had the next day. Jeffrey had went to Victoria’s school before to give a presentation about marketing. Her motive behind doing anything was he family. Everything she has done or will do is all for her family. Riley smiled slightly and concluded the interview. Riley began to push for fingerprint, blood, and hair

Lewis (2013) explains the ability to control your emotions does not begin until a child nears the age of six (as cited in Berger, 2014, p. 276). The need to maintain control of feelings and emotions remains important throughout adulthood. It would not be normal for a 38-year-old lawyer to throw a temper tantrum in the courtroom because they did not win a case. Not everyone is great at controlling their emotions, but there is always room for improvement (Berger, 2014). A child is not born with this control, nor can one learn it on their own. Morris et al. (2007) discussed the importance of parents, teachers and other adults that may be in a child?s life to instruct and inform children of appropriate ways to manage their feelings for them to learn or develop over time (as cited in Berger, 2014, p. 276). It is the same aspect as manners. A child does not come out of the womb saying ?please? and ?thank you,? but must be taught to use such mannerisms. Eric Erikson explained that children believe they can achieve any goal just as long as they keep trying because their view of their abilities is not yet within reason (Berger, 2014). A child may see a fish breath underwater and believe they too can breathe while swimming

Riley is a very receptive third grader. He grasps the cliché "gangsta" way of life, doing his best to advance the urban society in the differentiating suburb of Woodcrest. Affected by the broad communications by means of rap music and TV, he habitually utilizes poor syntax, and has a tendency to guard his golden calves notwithstanding when his impersonations conflict with judgment skills and uprightness. One case is his backing of R. Kelly in "The Trial of R. Kelly", notwithstanding overpowering proof demonstrating Kelly's blame, Riley trusts he ought not need to pass up a major opportunity for his next collection in view of Kelly going to

Proposed in the late 1970s, George Engel made a proposal called the biopsychosocial model (Straub, 2014). This model believes that all aspects of health are reliant upon three factors: biological factors, psychological factors, and sociocultural factors; and cannot be the symptom of one factor solely. It is thought that that all three groups of factors play an equally important role in both maintaining and deteriorating health (Varnekar, 2014). Occasionally, if health deteriorates; whether it is physiologically, mentally, or otherwise; a cultural influences take hold, an individual may turn to suicide as a means of coping.

Riley get’s a guide to show her the way to the place where her job is located, and makes fun of him and how dorky he looks. “The one with the greasy, slicked-back hair and black nerd frames perched high on his nose, the glass of which was so thick and heavy it obscured

“How ya doin’?” Topanga asked as she peeked into her daughter’s bedroom. A frown entered her face when she realized Riley had barely packed. “Sweetie, we are leaving tonight. The truck has to be loaded.” Topanga reminded as she grabbed the empty suitcase off the floor and started packing the clothes in Riley’s closet. “I’m not going, Mom.” Riley protested from her bed. “You are going Riley. Moving is apart of showing you the world. Now why don’t you help me pack your room?” Topanga answered. Riley sighed as she removed herself from her bed and started towards her desk. Slowly, she loaded the items from her desk into the box. “Fine, I’ll go, but I am not going to like it.” the usual cheerful Riley huffed.

Molly symbolizes the hard work and dedication; mentally and physically that it takes to be a coachable hockey player. Molly loves the sport of ice hockey and the competition that comes with it. Her ability to play all positions in any situation with one hundred percent effort is a huge asset to any team she plays for. Molly is an advocate for girls hockey and spends extra time to help the younger girls become better on and off the ice. Molly’s unselfishness, drive and teamwork really show when she wins a fifty/fifty battle, skates to prime scoring position, then passes to a

The central theme revolving around the biomedical model is it inability to analyze other components besides the biological factor when determining a patient’s health. This approach does not acknowledge other possible elements involved in the health of a patient, instead it focuses directly on analyzing and focusing on pure “biophysical or genetic malfunctions” (Biomedical Models and Resources, 1998). Whereas the biopsychosocial model demonstrates that “health and illness are determined by a dynamic interaction between biological, psychological, and social factors” (Brown et al., 2005). Due to the profound examination this model provides when diagnosing a patient’s health, it has become essential to the medical field. More importantly, its

Uniquely cognition and emotional development appear to be connected by jointly working together. Furthermore, cognitive processes, such as decision making, are affected by emotion (Barrett and others 2007). Brain structures involved in the neural circuitry of cognition influence emotion and vice versa (Barrett and others 2007). Emotions and social behaviors affect the young child’s ability to persist in goal-oriented activity, to seek help when it is needed, and to

Per the Biopsychosocial model, one’s health is contingent upon three factors: biological, psychological, and social/cultural. To regain optimum health in an HIV diagnosis one must identify the problems within the biological, psychological, and social perimeters.

The theory used in the article is human development/lifespan theory. According to the article theorists agree that adolescent pregnancy is a multidimensional phenomenon with cultural, social, personality, and cognitive components of decision making (Hockaday, Crase, Shelley, and Stockdale, 2000). According to the article this idea is supported by the Biopsychosocial model of risk taking (Hockaday, Crase, Shelley, and Stockdale, 2000). This combination of model of risk taking suggests that the timing of biological maturation influences cognition, perceptions of the self and social environment, and personal values (Hockaday, Crase, Shelley, and Stockdale, 2000). Examples are racial differences in adolescent’s pregnancy, ages of sexual activity,

1. Chapter 4 “The First Two Years: The Social World” section “Emotional Development” discusses the significance of variety of early emotions that humans have the experience in their life. The most common and basic forms of emotions that infants present as their age is pain and pleasure. Throughout their life, they develop mentally and physically, as well as learning more emotions that enable them to show expressions, reactions, and reasons that trigger those reactions (Berger, 130) During toddlerhood, between the ages of two and up, emotions are strengthened, for example, toddlers’ laughter and cries are more apparent and amplified. Together with their anger and fear becoming less frequent but directed towards experiences that are terrifying and infuriating. In addition, toddlers often have temper tantrums, “when something angers them, they might yell, scream, cry, hit, and throw themselves on the floor” (Berger, 130) Toddlers’ temper tantrums can even cause more tantrums or worsen the situation if a response from an adult or is negative, like out of anger or teasing the child.

Practicing a sport can be highly beneficial to children, until it’s taken too far. Often called training now, children as young as six years old are participating in sports that require too much time. At that age, sports should be something fun to do and a favorable source of physical activity. However, whenever an athlete shows a hint of a talent, child exploitation occurs (Bean 10234). Between the ages of 7-12, adolescents should be learning identity, motives, beliefs, and values, but nearly all athletes are practicing 5 days a week with games every Saturday. This leaves no time or energy for hanging out with friends, homework, family time, and relaxation. Dr. Shane Murphy reports that if a coach or trainer sees talent in a young child, immediately they are convincing the
