1. Sounds like homework to me. You obviously have a computer and you obviously know how to use it. Do a Google search yourself and you will find what you are looking for. Please don;t ask us here to do your homework or take-home exam for you.
2. Sociocultural Perspective explores social norms and customs. Group behavior, social relationships and the concept of helping are often studied under this perspective. Biological Perspective argues that behavior is influenced by genetics and inheritance. The whole nature vs. nurture debate comes into play a lot in this category, often using intelligence as an example. Psychodynamic Perspective was founded by Freud, ho believed that our behavior is caused my internal, unconscious conflicts and desires. A lot of the psychodynamic perspective is based on sexuality. The Learning Perspective explores how we learn from all of our experiences. This perspective often studied the differences between the methods of learning, like observational and latent, and how everyone has different styles of learning. The Cognitive Perspective focuses on mental faculties such as thinking, memory, problem solving and use of language and other forms of communication. This perspective also explores the causes of many mental illnesses as they affect these specific mental capabilities.
