Introduction: A discourse is a system of socially constructed knowledge about an aspect of reality (Foucault 1977; Hall 1997; van Leeuwen 2005). The #DontClipTheirWings campaign is concerned with the discourse surrounding gender-differentiated parenting: the act of treating one’s children differently just because of their gender (Raley and Bianchi 2006). Although the dominant discourse has evolved significantly, gender-differentiated parenting remains to be a prevalent issue. The unequal…

If Jane 's language was developing normally, at nine months, she would be babbling. Her babbling would become more complex and more varied as it progresses. As her babbling progresses, instead of only uttering consonant or vowel sounds, she 'll put vowels and consonant to say "mama " or "dada," for example. As she gets even older, this string of vowel and consonant sounds will become varied in pitch (intonation). Intonation is an important characteristic of regular conversation. Because of Jane…

DATA AND METHODS DATA I use data from the Taiwan Social Change Survey (TSCS), which is sponsored by the National Science Council and conducted by the Institute of Sociology at Academia Sinica. TSCS is an island-wide repeated cross-sectional survey which draws about 2,000 representative samples each year starting in from 1984. The data were collected through face-to face interviews. To keep track of the social change in Taiwan, the survey repeats collecting data with almost the same modules each…

other bunches of complex worldly knowledge. Schematic knowledge integrates previous semantic and episodic knowledge and guides future behavior. A study by Grymas and colleagues shows that when individuals anticipate a future event, they do so through previous episodic and semantic memory.…

Introduction Long-term memory (LTM) consists of two categories namely episodic memory (EM) and semantic memory (SM). SM is the general knowledge that we understand about the world around us, such as facts, beliefs or concepts, devoid of autobiographical details. Cases of organic amnesia assist us in understanding how memory functions, though it is well established that EM and SM are separate systems within LTM (Tulving, 1972). It is less well established if SM can be divided into functionally…

As a project for my Child Development class, I completed an observational child study. I chose a four year old male child of one of my co-workers, whom I had met several months prior to the study. Paxton was born on June 15, 2012 and was six weeks premature. Aside from the requirement of a feeding tube at birth, Paxton suffered no complications. At 30 pounds and 33 inches, he is in the 5th percentile in weight and the 25th percentile in height (Clinical Growth Charts, 2016). His height is…

Memories in the brain are at times recycled from episodic to semantic memories. This transfer makes a memory general knowledge to the individual. That creates more room for new memories. The problem with this system is that a new memory is encoded into an old memory. Both memories may have many similarities, but can have different core context. For example, an individual studies months on a specific question that asks the individual to name four characteristics to a mental disorder, after…

Intro Have you ever questioned why you’re the way you are? Have you ever wondered what makes each person unique from another? Every person is different; therefore, there is an abundance of different perspectives on life, itself. After 18 years, I have found these answers through certain life experiences. Through several different stages of my life, I’ve found answers that I would have never been able to predict. Furthermore, the treacherous journey of life events, I finally have an understanding…
