In Week 4, you found out the following:




What James did not know was that his father came from a physically and emotionally abusive family. Though he constantly drank and fought with James’ mother, he tried not to direct this abuse at James. The result of his attempts to shield James was to ignore James almost entirely. His attempt not to abuse James led to his neglect of James. While James was a pre-teen and teen, his parents rarely knew what James was doing or who he was with. As such, James learned how to “fly below the radar” and avoid getting in trouble, while getting away with many antics that could have had him labeled as a juvenile delinquent.

  • Now that James has more insight into his father’s behavior, apply 1 psychological theory and 1 sociological theory to this scenario.
  • Explain the concepts in your 1 psychological theory, and explain the concepts in your 1 sociological theory.
  • Relate both theories to James’s father and why he reacted in this manner to James.
  • Explain how the theories that you chose can have an effect on future generations.

Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.
