Give a critical analysis of either Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Stages or Jean Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development
Purpose: The purpose of this assessment is to allow Students to demonstrate their depth of knowledge and critical insight around a particular topic regarding human behaviour. Critical thinking is integral to academic success in the behavioural sciences, and this skillset is introduced and developed in lessons delivered throughout the semester.
Appealing to key theories and concepts surrounding Mortality Salience and Terror Management Theory, analyse both sides of ongoing debates in the context of COVID-19 (eg: face mask wearing/utility; vaccination; freedom of choice).
While the style of the paper is the Student’s choice, all papers must be grounded in content from the Unit and underscored by quality academic sources. Evidence of critical thinking is expected. Where relevant, positions can be taken; however, this should take the form of informed argumentation supported by sound logic and, where possible, relevant existing theory and empirical evidence.
