2:Government and Politics.

Write a paper in which you recount your first political impression, that is the first political event or issue that you can remember. Speculate about how that event or issue may have shaped your views towards government and politics. Did it leave you cynical? Idealistic? Apathetic? Include a discussion of which political socialization agents have shaped the formulation of your political opinions while growing up. (Political Socialization agents are those that influence us throughout our lifetime, they can include: the family, school, the media, peer groups, religious organizations, etc) NOTE: Since this is an American Politics course, the assignment has to cover a political event that you have experienced within the American Political system.
-Any political socialization agent is fine to write about, feel free to draw from your own personal experience or be creative. However please keep in mind I am a 20 year old female student.
-Any political event 2000-present

3:Vygotsky’s theory

Scenerio: Joyce and Jay have a 2 ½ year old son, Jayson, who is an extremely active, vivacious child, and is his parents’ heart and joy. He seems to be taking in just about everything when he’s awake and Joyce describes him as the “little scientist.” Joyce and Jay are in their late 30s and have not been around kids much during the last ten years or so. They are wondering how to interact with Jayson to promote his cognitive development–should they play music, should they bring out the flashcards.
