Review the videos A Class Divided (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mcCLm_LwpE) and Social Development: Crash Course Sociology #13 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbBm_YLwowc (10 mins)). Then respond to the following:
• Based on the content in “A Class Divided,” are children immune to the attitudes and behaviors of other group members? Explain.
• In what ways might important developmental milestones influence social development in childhood?
• Based on psychological evidence, should antisocial behavior in adulthood be primarily blamed on impaired socialization as a child? If so, what types of interventions might help to remediate these impairments? If not, what do you think leads to adult antisocial behavior?
• Can you teach children tolerance and inclusiveness if they are already indoctrinated by societal intolerance? What if the children in “A Class Divided” had never had a follow-up class explaining brown eyes as an indicator of the smart people?
• How does the concept of development of the social self apply to any of the following programmatic course themes:
◦ Self-care
◦ Social justice
◦ Emotional intelligence
◦ Career connections
◦ Ethics
