PLease answer the following using the MSWord format. Assign a filename indicating your name and section: (Ex. PY100MT_JohnQPublicMK2-3). Email the file as an attachement to angsosyoklasrum@yahoo.com


1) Consider this scenario. You are a supervisor in your company and you notice this employee who is in his middle years, single, and almost two years as a regular employee in the company. YOu observed that he is slow in understanding the complany rules, he often forgets regulations, and have to be reminded of his duties. On the other hand, you also admire his creative ideas and numerouys suggestions on how to go about things in the company. Most of his ideas sound plausible and in fact you have implemented some of them.

Question: From a biological perspective, how will you explain the inability of the employee to grasp company policies yet he is able to suggest a lot of new ideas to the company? What part of his brain dominates his performance at work? (10 points)

2) List and define the stages of Eric Erikson stating in matrix form the following: age, stage, description per stage, example from personal experience. IN the last column, you will cite instances that will prove Erikson's theory. For example, you are not a trusting person. Site specific examples why you are not trusting. Look for the stage in Erikson's theory that will explain why you did not deveop mush trust in people. (40 points)

3) OBserve a child between o-12 years old for one day. List the abilities that you observed and relate it to the abilities of a child in Jean Piaget's stages. Does Piaget's theory apply to the Filipino child development. Does his description per age bracket fit with the abililites that you observed. Explain your answer. If the abilities do not match the age group you observed, suggest a new age bracketing for the four stages of jean Piaget. (30 points)


PLease email your answers on or before December 21, 2007.
