There are several reasons for an increase in single-parent fathering recently:

• Current divorce laws and “gender-neutral criteria” for rearing children have made it easier for fathers to gain custody of their children following divorce than in years past.
• To allow themselves the opportunity to pursue career or personal goals, mothers may choose to grant the father custody of the children.
• Divorce courts have a more favorable view of the role of fathers in childrearing, resulting in an increase in joint custody arrangements following divorce.
• There has been an increase in fathers’ willingness to take a more active role in parenting than in years past.

 

 

1. What was/is your father’s role in your life?
2. In what ways has that role been supportive of you?
3. Are there any ways in which that role has been problematic for you?
4. What advice would you give the father of a newborn regarding his role in his child’s life?

The major assumptions of Piaget’s theory of cognitive development are that infants are active agents in constructing knowledge and that the interaction of experience and biology leads to growth and development. The cultural-contextual view agrees with these assumptions but adds two more: (1) other people make active contributions to infant development, and (2) cultural practices, which reflect the dominant beliefs and values of a culture, shape infant interaction with others and, ultimately, shape cognitive development. Variations in sleeping and feeding behaviors reflect the role of infants in a culture. Beliefs about babies in different cultures determine how they are treated, who interacts with them, and, consequently, how babies experience their world.

 

Choose a culture other than your own, and fill in the chart with details contrasting how the 2 cultures care for infants.  Use at least 2 resources, cited using APA style, to support your assertions about the different culture’s ways of caring for infants. fully complete the chart with a least 2 citation

Prompt 4: You will read a description of a speaking situation, make decisions about how to adjust the speech delivery based on the situation, and answer questions about your decisions.

 

Step 1: Review the information presented in Module 6 that explores speech delivery and how it should be modified based on the characteristics of the audience and other factors.

 

Step 2: Read the following description of a speaking situation:

 

You work as a technical support manager for a satellite television company.  As part of a company-sponsored tuition reimbursement program, you are also attending college courses part time and pursuing a degree in communications.  Your Human Resources representative asks you to give a presentation to a group of people at an upcoming career fair.  The HR manager is interested in you helping motivate potential applicants to apply for part-time positions that pay a relatively low hourly wage and include only limited benefits.  This is exactly the type of position you accepted when you first started with the company.  The job fair will be held in a part of the city with a relatively low unemployment rate.  The people attending are likely to come from middle- to upper middle-class families.  The people who attend the career fair from upper middle-class families are used to getting what they want without too much effort; therefore, they may not be able to relate directly to the persistence you showed to work your way from a part-time low-paying position into a higher-paying one that includes benefits.  The ones from middle-class families may relate more to your personal story.  You can’t gather all the characteristics of all the career fair attendees in advance, but you do know that the way in which you explain the advantages of working for the satellite television company and the type of language you use will affect the attendees’ decision on whether or not to apply for a position with the company.

 

Step 3: Write a paragraph or more to answer each of the following questions related to this speaking situation:

 

1. When you state you thesis, how will you phrase it to avoid negative reactions from potential applicants who are expecting more pay and better benefits when they first start with the company?
2. What language strategies would you use in your speech to make it sound more appealing to the entire group?
3. What techniques could you use to establish common ground with everyone in the audience?
