Bullying vs. getting Bullied in Adolescents (topic)

1. Present the problem in statistical terms, In addition, provide terminology and other information that specifies the nature of the problem. Focus on a particular issue ( children who bully versus bullying in adolescents). Finally, one developmental level must be identified in this section.

2. Provide information about why one should care about your identified social problem. Make a compelling case that your identified problem should be of concern. Provide two distinct and explicit reasons as to how the social problem is detrimental to children, adolescents, families, or society.

3. Analyze the social problem using Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory of development as indicated below. Discuss how issues at each system contributes to the problem. Present the analyses of the respective systems in numerical order as presented below. Furthermore, incorporate how developmental level interacts with a given contextual element (e.g., older adolescents in relation to parenting style or peers) in at least one instance. Finally, incorporate specific aspects of the social problem into the analysis.

A. Identify at least two relevant microsystems and explain how they can contribute to the social problem.

B. For the mesosystem, discuss how the extent of continuity or discontinuity among the identified microsystems can facilitate or contribute to said social problem.

C. Identify and explain how one exo-system may facilitate or contribute to the social problem.

D. Identify and explain how one issue at the macro-system level may facilitate or contribute to the social problem.

E. For the chronosystem, speculate about how change and/or consistency over time contributed to the social problem.

4. This section addresses and explains how specific developmental characteristics of children/adolescents contribute to and explain the prevalence of the social problem. Incorporate at least two of the following domains of development: Physical Development, Cognitive Development, and Social-Emotional Development. The analysis must be aligned with the chosen developmental period. Identify 3 issues that span at least TWO of the domains. The key concepts must be distinct from prior issues addressed in this paper.

5. Identify one cultural or theoretical issue and explain how said issue contributes to the social problem. Cultural issues can reflect demographic characteristics (e.g., gender, ethnicity) or societal characteristics.

6. Put forth two distinct and developmentally appropriate strategies to redress the social problem. How said strategies redress issues put forth in sections I - V should be clear. In other words, there must be alignment between the strategies and the analyses of issues contributing to the problem. Strategies must cover multiple issues put forth in the paper that contribute to the social problem.
