These instructions reflect a task our writers previously completed for another student. Should you require assistance with the same assignment, please submit your homework details to our writers’ platform. This will ensure you receive an original paper, you can submit as your own. For further guidance, visit our ‘How It Works’ page.

Part 1: Compare and contrast the communal child-rearing practices in Kenyan communities, as described by Weisner in his TEDx talk, with more individualistic practices common in Western societies. How do these differences impact children’s social responsibilities and collaborative skills?
Part 2: Consider what you learned in either Pearson’s or Burke Harris’ TED talk (or both if you are up for it!). How do their observations align with or diverge from other established developmental theories? Here, you can bring in developmental theories from your Lifespan Development course, like Erikson’s Psychosocial Stages, Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory, or Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory. These are just examples, you can compare/contrast any theory you learned about in that course with the observations these speakers make in their talks.
Part 3: For Part 3 of this assignment, choose ONE (1) of the following two questions to answer. Both of which require you to take one of the three online personality assessments located in this unit’s Learning Resources.
Identify some of the strengths inherent in your personality profile and discuss how you will leverage those in your career and life moving forward. Given your personality profile, what situations might you encounter that will be challenging? How will you handle those?
In his TED talk, Brian Little posits that while we do have a personality, we are not “only” our personality. That we will act outside of those prescribed behaviors in service of our “core projects.” Identify one of your “core projects” and discuss ways in which you might act outside your personality to advance this project.
