1. Please describe briefly how gender development and sexuality have been used strategically in marketing and/or politics to sway the popular view. Be sure to differentiate between the two or speak directly as to how they are linked.
2. Our understanding of parental and peer influence is essential in the development of an adolescent’s lives. How do you think parents today can better equip their teens to navigate through this world as related to peer pressure, self-esteem, and self identity? Be sure to use notes related to identity and self in your response.
From synthesis to evaluation. Moving to evaluation requires students to develop an objective rating system for their source articles. Often, students at lower levels of the complexity will struggle with whether to include their own opinions in a literature review (Froese et al., 1998). At the evaluation level, students understand that opinion is not the primary method of evaluation, but reasoned and articulated assessment of the source articles is essential to making evaluative comparisons. To complete this task, students must use the information gleaned at the analysis level to analyze the quality of the research or other types of source articles. They should have clearly defined criteria developed beforehand that will help them make these judgments.
Writing a cognitively advanced literature review is a difficult but important skill for counseling students. Cognitive complexity in writing has been linked to enhanced learner-directed learning, an important component of adult and graduate education (Brookfield, 1989). It also is consistent with developing advanced capacity for critical thought (Rivard, 1994).
Faculty cannot assume that students who are cognitively advanced in other areas of their lives or in other areas of their academic programs will necessarily transfer those skills to their writing. Simpson, Dalgaard, and O’Brien (1986) and Granello (1999) studied the cognitive complexity of graduate students and found that students regressed in their cognitive development when they were faced with new and unfamiliar tasks. These findings can be applied to the process of graduate level writing. Students without a conceptual understanding of the goals and process of cognitively complex writing may easily resort to lower levels of complexity. Certainly, without a model or a goal for writing, it would be difficult for them to use the experience to push their thinking to higher levels of complexity through the process of writing.

For this Discussion, you will explain criteria for evaluating the quality of qualitative research and consider the connection of such criteria to philosophical orientations. You will also consider the ethical implications of designing qualitative research.
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 4
Post an explanation of two criteria for evaluating the quality of qualitative research designs. Next, explain how these criteria are tied to epistemological and ontological assumptions underlying philosophical orientations and the standards of your discipline. Then, identify a potential ethical issue in qualitative research and explain how it might influence design decisions. Finally, explain what it means for a research topic to be amenable to scientific study using a qualitative approach.

Understanding psychological development in people with sex development disorders (DSD) is critical for improving their clinical care and establishing pathways to competence and health in everyone.
We focus on psychological consequences that may be influenced by unusual physical sexual differentiation processes in DSD, specifically features connected to being male or female, in this research (those that show sex differences in the general population, gender identity, and sexuality).
We review evidence that (a) early androgens facilitate several aspects of male-typed behavior, with large effects on activity interests and moderate effects on some social and personal behaviors (including sexual orientation) and spatial ability; (b) gender dysphoria and gender change occur more frequently in people with DSD than in the general population, with rates varying according to syndrome, initial gender assignment, and medical treatment; and (c) early androgens facilitate several aspects of male-typed behavior, with large effects on activity interests and
We also discuss the limitations of current research as well as the difficulties of exploring gender and sexuality in DSD.
We finish with study agenda proposals and a recommended research structure.
