Dear Student,
In this particular problem set, you have been asked by your professor to complete 2 tasks as set out in items 1 and 2. The answers are not cut and dried - it requires your own reflection and your own opinion. Basically, you need to think about how the concepts and subjects interact and how they reflect and relate to your subject of study. I think that the structure below would do well-
1. Social change & general psychology - how can this specialization contribute to or is relevant in pushing for positive social change?
2. Global diversity, culturalism and general psychology - is culture a barrier to the practice of psychology? How can psychology bridge the gap brought on by ethnocentric ideas?

Sincerely,
AE 105878/Xenia Jones
