“How has the Canadian state regulated/limited the shape of families?”

WSTA01 Concept Log Assignment
3
The concept: “How has the Canadian state regulated/limited the shape of families?” Choose one of the following articles to provide an example.
from the readings that I uploaded to the account:
1) Kulusic
2) Dua – Gender relations in global perspective 109-121
3) Mulé – Same Sex Marriage and Canadian Relationship Recognition
The purpose of the Concept Log is: To evaluate your reading comprehension, your ability to synthesize ideas, and your ability to express those ideas
For the concept, you need to explain the significance of the concept – which means that you both need to define it, and say why/how it is important within the article.
To do that, try to answer these questions: Why is the author telling us about this thing? What is the larger relevance of the concept, particularly in relation to gender? Explaining the concept might mean providing an example from the article, and it might also mean some combination of direct quotation from the article that I provide (using quotation marks, and a citation with page number) and paraphrasing (paraphrasing means taking an author’s ideas and putting them in your own words; it doesn’t require the use of quotation marks, but does still mean you need a citation to indicate the page/s where the author has written about the ideas).

How does engaging in reflection make you feel? Does it bring up any kind of mental or emotional reactions?

Journal : Reflection (Integration, Application & Reflection)
Address the following items in your journal entry:
• Describe how and when you find yourself being reflective—is it in regards to a person, situation, experience? What compels you to engage in reflection?
• How does engaging in reflection make you feel? Does it bring up any kind of mental or emotional reactions?
• Reflection can be a means toward developing self-knowledge. Review your first journal entry about self-knowledge. How might developing self-knowledge assist you in your academic, personal and professional lives?

Language Simulation.

There’s not much that I can do with you in this course that will allow you to feel some of the frustration that students with speech or language deficits encounter on a daily basis. But, I did come up with one simulation. For a period of 1 hour, I want you to make normal conversation, but during this hour, you are not to say a word that has the sound /r/ in it. You should do this at a time when you will have occasion to speak, however, you may not want to do this in the working environment. When you have finished the simulation, write a 2 page paper describing how the simulation affected you. Did it cause frustration in you? In others? What about your rate of speech? How long did it take you to form your thoughts?

The flynn effect: Are we smarter than our parents?

Read the article entitled, “Are We Smarter than Our Parents?” in chapter 5 of your textbook. This article addresses a study by Dr. James Flynn of the rise of the IQ rate over generations, and how statistics are involved in tracking this phenomenon, especially with reference to the material in chapter 5.

Write a paper in which you explore some of the statistical data that has been found in this area of study. Additionally choose and answer one of the four questions below in a focused and clear manner. Remember to integrate the statistical data in the article that discusses this topic.
1.Which explanation do you favor for the Flynn effect: that people are getting smarter or that people are merely getting more practice at the skills measured on IQ tests? Defend your opinion.
2.The rise in performance on IQ tests contrasts sharply with a steady decline in performance over the past few decades on many tests that measure factual knowledge, such as the SAT. Think of several possible ways to explain these contrasting results, and form an opinion as to the most likely explanation.
3.Results on IQ tests tend to differ among different ethnic groups. Some people have used this fact to argue that some ethnic groups tend to be intellectually superior to others. Can such an argument still be supported in light of the Flynn effect? Defend your opinion.
4.Discuss some of the common uses of JQ tests. Do you think that IQ tests should be used for these purposes? Does the Flynn effect alter your thoughts about the uses of IQ tests? Explain.
