Taron's Case Study Summary

Improved Essays
The case study I found the most interesting was “Learning and Developmental Theory: a case study about a 31-year-old African American man named Taron. According to the case study “Taron grew up in a very conservative, professional, and disciplined household for things such as behavior and relationships. However; things that were constructive and positive, the entire family was very supportive and liberal”. Taron was the youngest sibling and the way he grew up, he never really spoke much in his family. He was very obedient to his parents and had his older siblings to look up to. Taron had a nurturing, spoiled relationship with his mother, but had a supportive and pessimistic relationship with his father. According to Taron, he stated that “He exhibited classic Social Learning as coined by Bandura. Taron’s behavior toward seemingly everything is very much like that of his father and their relationship—calculated, logical, and matter-of-fact. There is rarely (if ever) any emotion or feelings that factor into decisions and interactions, and Taron has shown this behavior since childhood”.

Role Confusion, Taron’s lack of emotional connection with someone in his adolescent years has caused his development to sway the focus more on his future in terms of career, personal/physical self, and the like instead of on emotional development. He says that he was shy, introverted, and overly self-aware adolescent which lead to social anxiety”. For instance, I had a friend who I grew up with and went to college together. We both took speech class together and he was very shy, quiet and was afraid of talking in front of people. I had to help him practice his speeches several times and would like a group of our friend come and listen to his speech, so he would feel more comfortable and not

    Emily Bazelon discussed the national topic of bullying in her lecture, “Sticks and Stones” Defeating the Culture of Bullying”. Bazelon starts by defining bullying as a commonly misunderstood concept. She argues that not all conflicts between children are considered bullying. Bullying, Bazelon believes, should be a narrow term, which excludes drama or regular two-seeded conflict; consequently, she regards bullying as repetitive behavior that is a “campaign to make someone miserable”. In other words, bullying is not a fight; it is one-sided.…

    “The Code of the Streets” written by Elijah Anderson draws a large focus to the differences of labels from a social theory and scientific point of view. It depicts the differences of what one would consider “street” or “decent” (Anderson, 82), “middle to upper class” vs “lower class”. The article considers the “street” class to be the younger generation; these would be the youth who oppose the views of those who live abiding by the law. The “street” often break the law, lack responsibility and have very little respect for authority and often distrust authority figures.…

    The connection between synaptic over-production and human social experience shows that we need certain networks in our brain in order for us to develop and interact with one another. Synaptic over-production refers to the idea that the brain over produces neuronal structures during early development, like during infancy. While the brain starts to develop during infancy, the brain produces more synapses than needed. Through social interaction with parents or others, the connections that are used frequently become stronger and the connections that are not used become dormant. This process is known as synaptic pruning.…

    “Family and peer group mezzo systems are dynamically involved in children’s growth, development, and behavior” (Zastrow, 2013, p. 166). The influences on both Wes Moore’s from their family and peers greatly contributed to their decision-making, critical thinking and outlook of life, which played a part in their outcomes. In the beginning of The Other Wes Moore, Wes (2) told Wes (1) when speaking about their fathers that “You father wasn’t there because he couldn’t be, my father wasn’t there because he chose not to be. We’re going to mourn in their absence in different ways” (p. 3). I believe that the lack of having a father was the first factor in these men destinies because other male figures in their families stepped up.…

    The phrase, ¨He comes from your side of the family” is used by many to explain why someone, a child maybe, has done something terrible or something that they should not have. To some, It is believed that genetics, or Nature, are the sole reason for a person's behavior, good or bad. Others believe that it is the environment that influences a person's behavior, and the environment can be anything or anyone- society, a community, a caretaker, or Nurture. The debate of Nurture vs Nature is an ongoing argument that has yet to be solved, but it is clear that Nurture is the most influential. Genetics, race, and biology do have somewhat of an impact on how a person deals with certain things, but it is the environment in which that person grew up in…
