Mock Debate on Theories of Gender Development

To do this, submit a transcript of a mock debate (or one that you may have overheard) between two psychologists who have primary interest in gender development but belong to different schools of thought, and show the two viewpoints. You can use any two perspectives you are interested in. Remember that social scientists love to talk about their subject; they rarely answer questions with yes/no answers. And they tend to interrupt each other to prove their point.

The transcript could look something like this:

Discussion Moderator introduces the speakers.

Audience Question:

Answer Dr. X: …

Answer Prof. Y: …

Interaction between scientists if warranted

Moderator will conclude a discussion with giving the summary of the theories discussed.

Be sure to have a minimum of 5 questions that are in the debate. The transcript should conclude with a brief reflection of your own take on the topic discussed.

Length: 5-7 pages

References: Include a minimum of 5 scholarly resources

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.
