Answer:
Case study
Explanation:
A case study is a kind of study used in social sciences in which the researcher observes an individual/group/event in a very in-depth manner. Case studies give a lot of information about the person or group who is being studied and let the researcher make causal inferences (because of the in-depth observation) and the researcher gets a better understanding of the situation.
In this question, the psychologist faces an ethical dilemma of needing to remove a potentially beneficial treatment. However, using a case study, she wouldn't need to do so because she could observe the autistic child in his environment without changing it, because the case study is an observing explanatory study. Therefore, the ethical dilemma would be eliminated and she could draw conclusions from the study.
However, they also point out that it's OK to have an unusual kind of family structure. On One Tree Hill, for example, Lucas is being raised by a single mom, and he has a close relationship with his uncle, but his dad isn't completely out of the picture. On a teen show such as iCarly, on Nick, Carly's older brother plays the role of guardian, because her dad is in the Air Force. Her mom is never really spoken of.
<span>2. I do feel that most of the portrayal of family is accurate, on TV. Modern shows have steered away from the conventional "Mom, Dad, 2.5 kids plus dog" formula, which is accurate, because not all TV watchers are fortunate enough to have that kind of situation. See above answer for specific examples. </span>
<span>3. I think that a definite negative theme in today's modern shows, revolve around views on alcohol and drugs. Obviously everyone is entitled to their own views, but more often than not, after a character drinks, or does something they shouldn't, they panic about what their parents will do once they find out. This panic may lead them to increasingly dangerous situations. For example, in OTH, Nathan is drinking, and then goes out to drive his girlfriend's car. When he crashes it into another car, he realizes the trouble he is in, and leaves the scene of the accident; thus potentially getting him in even more trouble. I realize that TV is in no way an accurate depiction of all life aspects, and it is "only TV", but I think Nathan should have faced the consequences right away, because by running from the scene, he only put himself in danger of being caught, or arrested. Again, though, I'm reading too much into it. </span>
<span>The two main groups to immigrate during this time were the Irish and British. The Irish bitterly resented the British who ruled Ireland. Many rented from British landlords who treated them as second class sub-citizens. It was densely populated, and suffered from intense economic hardship. Aside from political persecution, the Irish economy depended heavily on the potato crop which was wiped out by potato blight.
