GMU Growth and Fixed Mindsets in Children Paper

Select a popular science article (news, magazines, NPR, The Conversation, The Hidden Brain or other media, including podcasts, etc.) that corresponds to the topic of growth vs fixed mindset in children and how it affects them and their socialization. Then, find an evidence-based source/article that covers the same topic. The goal is to critically analyze the conclusions of the pieces based on readings in the course texts. Issues to be addressed in your paper include: Why is the topic important? Is the information covered in the popular and evidenced-based sources consistent? Is the topic being covered correctly in the public sphere?, Is any of the information being presented in the popular media dangerous? Who is the audience for the information in the popular science article and what are the key takeaways from the popular coverage? Is the topic timely?, etc. The paper should be 2-3 pages. Although the paper is brief, it should be complete and read as a detailed summary that a lay person can read and understand.

Must be typed using 11 or 12 point font and one-inch margins and double-spaced. You must correctly and consistently use a recognized citation style, such as MLA or APA.
