This is a case analysis. Please read the 6 pages I will send you first and then answer the 5 questions I sent you.

The aim of the assignment is to consider the different ways in which the work
motivation of people doing a specific job can be improved to lead to increased job
satisfaction and work performance  

See these major concerns:
Does not accurately represent Gordon’s theory of assimilation.
More precise information needed on “capitals” which set a path for assimilation.
There is almost nothing on “stages of assimilation”. This is the centerpiece of the project.
More to say about ethnic persistence.
You misunderstand “new ethnicity”.
Need evidence to establish this family’s “typicality”.
More substance needed here as well, eg. the extent of discrimination in housing.
Further, your statements can be vague and even confusing. See this comment: “In evaluation, the children, specifically Leila and Mehdi, pick out greater strongly as American, with their Iranian roots gambling a secondary position of their self-notion.”

Ed Kemper, nicknamed the “Co-ed Killer” by the public, has made it into the history of serial killers as well as in the general public because of his repulsive personality and foul murders. This case study will examine his deep-seated psychological complexities by examining Kemper from a Freudian point of view. With a thorough examination of his childhood, that of his ego, superego, and id, and the inner issues that plagued him, this paper will explain the events that shaped Kemper into a killer. A Freudian analysis helps to discover deeper information about Kemper’s subconscious, revealing that a combination of innate tendencies and environmental effects were at play in the development of his criminal behavior.
This is the intro ^ 
The Final paper is worth 100 points. All papers must be typed and should be written in APA format, 12 point times new roman font, and double spaced. It must include subheadings and a cover page. Grammar and punctuation count. Plagiarism will not be tolerated and will result in an automatic 0. The length for either paper should be about 5-6 pages (Not including cover page or reference section). Keep within these limits. Because of the length it will be best to be focused. You will write a Case Study, analyzing a character’s personality, making use of the theories and information you have learned. Some Details:
a. The case can be about any well-known figure from history, pop-culture, or fiction (such as movies, books, or TV shows). You will need to get prior approval from the instructor before finalizing your case. You cannot pick yourself, friends, or family. b. Take a specific personality lens or approach (such as Erikson, Maslow, or Social Learning) to describe the case using theories and information within the field of personality psychology. Stick to ONE lens. c. Develop a comprehensive description of the person’s character and their development. Basically, describe how the lens describes why the person is the way they are. d. Incorporate at least one personality measure that you will fill out ‘as the person’ and score in order to incorporate them into your assessment
e. At least 3 references must be made to relevant research and theoretical literature (i.e., use of peer reviewed journals and relevant academic literature).    

Through this reflective journal you will be applying your learning to everyday life and your future career aspirations. This reflective journal will contain three reflections, each reflection should be around 700 words.
Reflection 2.      How has your psychological knowledge enriched your personal life? Insight relating to personal life (choice from 6 areas of psychology course content).
Reflection 3.      In what way can psychological knowledge benefit society? Insight relating to societal issue (choice from 6 areas of psychology course content).
Reflection 4.      Where will your psychological knowledge take you? Insight relating to career goals and professional identify.
Complete course content for Weeks 2-9
a.       Note that two of the reflective journal entries for this part are free choice – you can choose any of the 6 course topics relating to areas of psychology.
b.       Your fourth reflection must refer to the pre-existing knowledge and skills you discussed in Reflection 1 (attached file below), and how these may have changed over the duration of the course (or not!). 
Criteria
Your reflections will be assessed against 6 key criteria:
Relevance and meaning: The psychological principles/concepts applied to the experience being reflected upon are relevant and meaningful. (20%)
Connection to course concepts: Connections are made between the experience and theory and evidence covered during the course. (20%)
Depth of reflection: Reflection describes the experience and analyses how the experience contributed to students’ understandings of self, their use of their psychological knowledge and skills, and course concepts. (30%)
Self-awareness and new insights: Explores own assumptions or biases in relationship with their interactions with others. (15%) 
Quality of written expression: The written expression in the reflection is of high quality (free from spelling, grammar and language errors), and is organised and structured in a logical fashion. (10%)
Referencing: Correctly paraphrases and formats references using the APA 7th edition conventions. (5%)
Advice and resources
For these reflections, it is recommended that you use the DIEP (Describe, Interpret, Evaluate, and Plan) Strategy as a framework for examining the theories/concepts and your experiences. This framework was covered in the pre-requisite course Personal and Professional Development, and a review of the framework is provided.
Each reflection will contain four broad elements, described in more detail below (Please note: these don’t need to be headings).
1.       First, you’ll need to describe an insight you have had while working through the course content. This could be an experience, a belief you hold or have held, or a situation you have encountered in which you have been able to apply your psychological knowledge or skills. This may be a personal, social, or organisational situation you have encountered, and you may have applied knowledge (principles/concepts), skills (psychology specific or transferable), or both.
Give as much detail as possible so a reader feels as though they were there with you and has a clear sense of the experience that was the basis for your reflection.
In your description, you should also identify what new learning or insight this experience inspired for you. If you are stuck, the sentence starters below may help:
From this experience I began to wonder…
This helped me to realise….
I had never noticed/considered before…
This experience taught me that…
2.       Next, you’ll need to move into explaining  the meaning of the new insight. How does this understanding or wondering connect with your previous experiences and the concepts and ideas we have been exploring in the course? Is it a new idea or has your previous understanding of something evolved? Was your insight influenced by previous events in your life, your personal characteristics, or particular aspects of the setting or experience? How does this help you to make sense of your experience? You are expected to draw on or refer to ideas and theory in your course material, in research literature and from other sources to support your explanation of the insight.
Once you have considered the meaning of the insight, you also need to evaluate the value or relevance of this insight. How might it benefit your learning or life?
You might start your sentences like:
A possible implication of this new idea/understanding is…
Two key take-aways from this are …
This understanding will change the way I…
This insight relates to/is consistent with/opposes (add theory/research from course)…
Having realised that, I intend to…
3.       Finally, think about, or plan, what you will do with this new information. How can you apply this new knowledge or insight to your personal, social or work life? What will you do differently as a result? How might this influence your work now or in the future?
You might start your sentences like:
This [new insight] will help me in the course or program in the following ways…
As a result of this I will now [do something in my personal life]…
This has inspired me to [do something in my professional life]… 

Assignment topic: You are responsible for dictating how a group of post-apocalyptic survivors will endure after a global cataclysmic event, with respect to common and expected social and environmental problems. 
The task is to help describe a likely and reasonable set of psychological solutions to common problems that would be encountered by a group of people in this setting. In each case, the following conditions are present: 
The group is between 1000 – 1500 people strong, and includes families and people from multiple generations. 
This group cannot communicate with any outgroups. 
This group is diverse, and includes people from different faiths, ethnicities, and nationalities. You may assume that they all share a common language. 
Natural resources are unreliable or seasonal. The group must anticipate periods of both abundance and scarcity. 
The group must survive for at least 200 years, and as such, it can be expected that those who are present after 200 years will have had no direct contact with those who first arrived. That is, social learning is important, as will be social structures associated with families. 
The group must be prepared for new individuals arriving who wish to enter into the group. They may also have to be prepared for individuals in the group defecting and leaving the group. 
The student must address several key factors: 
How the group will bond and subsequently form and maintain a shared social identity. 
How the group will address issues of cooperation, defection, norms, and/or morality. 
How formal or informal institutions within the group will facilitate social learning and transmission of important information with minimal loss or error. 
How family units are structured, and a justification for this decision 
What the social hierarchy will look like. 
How the group will integrate new members (if at all).
