Examples of topics to write about (Choose only one topic from the examples below OR choose a topic of your interest that pertains to this week’s material): Social Learning Discuss how humans learn a great deal by observing others. Everyone in the class learned how to speak their native language by watching native speakers (e.g., family). Similarly, much of our beliefs and values are learned from others. Learning from others happens quite explicitly in university, where students learn from instructors. Discuss how people would not know the plethora of things that we know (from how to speak a language to how to drive a car) if it were not for social learning. Peer Pressure What are some traits of power regarding social pressure and how we have evolved a strong desire to belong to peer groups? Ask what happens to those who violate the norms of the group and why people are likely to go along with norms as to not be expelled from the group. This discussion can include the norms in fraternities and sororities and sensitive topics such as anorexia, sexual behavior, alcohol consumption, etc. Compliance Discuss how students, in general, have been influenced by each of the methods of compliance: self-perception and commitment, reciprocity, social proof, scarcity, and mindlessness. Include aspects of incidental similarity (same birthday, same name, same school, etc.) as a powerful influence in compliance.
