I’m stuck on a Social Science question and need an explanation.

Alyssa Stenberg

For this week’s discussion I want to take a look at multicausality. Chapter three opens with a conversation about human service workers seeking out the cause or causes that contribute to our client’s needs. The course text however, cautions against assuming that there is one single cause. This is because more often than not, there are multiple factors contributing to our client’s state and needs.

Please answer the following questions below:

In the discussion of multicausality, we assert that just as there are no two identical faces in the world (except for same-egg twins), there are no two identical psychological profiles. What might account for the often enormous differences in the personalities and interests of two siblings raised in the same family? For example, one might be an honor student and school council leader, while the other lives for sports and is content to be at the bottom of her class.

This question can be found in your text book on page 104 as well.

And as always, please post your response and then reply meaningfully to one other classmate.
