To solve this enigma, researchers must first understand the victims of this issue; how life may be different and what aspects are greatly affected. Through first person narratives guided by specific questions, this study explores the experiences of male college students attending Northern Virginia Community College on the Loudoun Campus.

The discussion begins with an overview of the controversy from the perspectives of C.P. Snow (The Two Cultures, 1959) and Jerome Kagan (The Three Cultures, 2009). A historical overview of the evolution of psychology and the interdisciplinary backgrounds of its contributors is presented outlining the specific contributions made from ancient Egypt to the late 19 century. Perspectives of schools and subfields embracing the interdisciplinary focus are presented. Portraits of particular psychological scientists who have integrated perspectives from across the three cultures are highlighted, along with key concepts and principles. Finally a discussion of implications and future directions for psychology is explored.

Enriching the Lives of Children-Creating Novel Stimulus Experiences To Promote Cognitive, Moral and Emotional Development, 2008
Enriching the Lives of Children is an exploration of innovations in teaching and learning. The bo... more Enriching the Lives of Children is an exploration of innovations in teaching and learning. The book reflects scholarship, synthesis and creativity as the author reviews decades of research and practice on educational and instructional reforms designed to enrich learning and life for children, through novel and stimulating experiences.
The author reminds readers of the early notions of learning coming from such great thinkers as Aristotle, Husserl, Vygotsky, Piaget and Bruner; and, the parallels to the thinking of modern constructivist philosophers and teachers today. Teaching for meaning and constructing knowledge and understanding is important. Providing enriching, novel and stimulating instructional and supportive experiences is essential for successful learning and holistic development.
The author presents theoretical propositions about the need for authentic pedagogy and whole child development. Moreover, findings reveal that learning does not take place as a separate and isolated event. Brain, body and the developmental domains work together. Attention also is given to the nature and relationship of creativity to learning and development; and, particularly the contributions of play. Interesting suggestions and models from around the world are provided about children’s learning and enrichment, within and outside of the classroom.
As a leading scholar and interdisciplinary expert in education, psychology and learning environments across the lifespan, King provides a service to educators, parents and those interested in child development by synthesizing volumes of research into a coherent whole, with excellent suggestive strategies that can be used in educating and raising children.
Theoretical insights and strategies found in this book will improve the academy of teaching and learning and serve as a useful resource for educational and childcare professionals, policymakers and parents. For those that care about the future of our children and education, Enriching the Lives of Children is essential reading.

Understanding the human-environmental connection is critical to sustaining the world for all citizens. We must raise awareness and increase understanding and education to all citizens of the nation and world about their role in saving the planet. It is also especially critical for social and public policy analysts and specialists; federal, state and local government policymakers; and administrators, teachers, researchers and scientists in all disciplines and at all levels of education to be actively involved in the process of educating the public and establishing formal policies to protect the environment.

It addresses the seminal work of Cambridge physicist C.P. Snow, who, more than five decades ago, wrote the book on The Two Cultures, outlining the intellectual schism between the academic disciplines—the humanities, arts, religion and the sciences. Today, the social sciences comprise the third culture; and Jerome Kagan, a Harvard developmental psychologist, published a book in 2009, The Three Cultures: Natural Sciences, Social Sciences and the Humanities in the 21st Century, responding to Snow’s earlier concerns that includes a look at the newest culture—the social sciences. Psychology and the Three Cultures—History, Perspectives and Portraits, examines early and current notions about the three cultures reflecting on C.P. Snow’s treatise on The Two Cultures, and Jerome Kagan’s treatise on The Three Cultures, as related to the field of psychology. The book illustrates how psychological science, historically, has blended all these cultures in order to understand human nature. It traces the history of psychology, highlighting pivotal places and people from around the world contributing to the evolution of the field. The book documents psychology as a global, integrated, hub science and a blend of the disciplines.
