• Consider the following scenario: A ten-year-old is running around his new house. He

notices that there are three bedrooms. He smells cookies baking. He hears the dog next
door barking. He trips over a loose board on his back porch and falls and skins his knee.
He gets back up, seemingly unphased. He sees a playground in the backyard and yells to
his parents, "I am going to play on the playground!" His father replies, "Not yet, son! I
need to make sure it is safe." The child yells back, "But I want to! Now! I am going to
scream if you don't let me!" The father responds, "Stop making a scene, the neighbors
will hear you! You can play on the playground if you stop making such a fuss!" The child,
happy once again, skips out to play on the new playground. Examine this scenario from
the five perspectives from the lesson.
• How would you describe it from the following viewpoints: functionalist, structuralist,
gestalt, behaviorist, and psychoanalytic?
• Write two or three sentences about the scenario from each of the five perspectives
