Please answer each question below in a short essay of approximately one page (approximately 250-400 words).Each essay should consider the question(s) and should pull from the course readings, as well as your own experiences and opinions, if applicable. Show me that you've really thought about your topic and that you have a full understanding of this issue. Your essay should have both an introduction (with a thesis statement that clearly states your argument) and a conclusion.
1. Value contradictions occur when commonly held values conflict. Describe at least two value contradictions that are occurring between the traditional values and the emerging values in the United States.
2. Discuss the "nature vs. nurture" controversy. Define each term and the types of research that should provide data to support each argument. Then look at your own life and analyze yourself: look at your own traits, habits, socialization. Can you pinpoint where yourself emerged from? How can you apply the "nature vs. nurture" controversy to your own life?
