- 1. Running Head: Unit I 1 Running Head: Unit I Unit I Scholarly Activity Student Name Institution Attitude refers to the tendency of positively or negatively responding to a particular situation, idea, person, or object. An individual's attitude affects the choices they make, as well as how they respond to rewards, incentives, and challenges. Abortion, on the other hand, refers to the termination of a pregnancy by removing an embryo or fetus before its survival in the environment outside the uterus. When an abortion happens without intervention is known as a miscarriage. Induced abortion is what happens when there are intentional steps and procedures put in place to end a pregnancy. There are different attitudes toward abortion among various groups of people (Fabrigar & Wegener, 2010).
- 2. A significant percentage of women have a positive attitude towards abortion and support it if the pregnancy was unplanned. Women desire to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. Some women also argue that abortion should be legalized while another portion is against the idea of legalizing it. Most of those who support its legalization have practiced or have helped others abort. Most people who believe in God do not support abortion because they think only God has permission to terminate one's life. They view abortion breaking the commandment, which states that thou shall not kill. Many religious leaders are also not in support of abortion since it is a way of murdering an innocent soul (Doran & Nancarrow, 2015). In most countries, abortion under the law is illegal except when the life of the mother is in danger, and the only way of saving the life of that mother would be by terminating the pregnancy. Attitude affects the daily decision in my life as well of those around me. For example, my negative attitude towards a certain meal makes me avoid making it when it's my turn to prepare food at home. This causes chaos at home since my not liking the meal does not necessarily mean that the other members of the family do not like it. Also, sometimes, a day doesn't always go the way I wanted. This makes my moods and reactions for the rest of the day change, which profoundly affects those around me. This is due to most of the choices I make will be negative based on how the day has been. My research about abortion has affected my view of the abortion issue. I have learned that it is not always that abortion is deliberate since sometimes miscarriage can occur without the consent of the pregnant woman. Sometimes it is understandable for the abortion to be affected, especially if the life of the mother is in danger. For example, if the child has died while still in the womb, the only way to save the mother's life would be by inducing them so that the child is removed. Choosing the topic of abortion might lead to cropping up of different issues such as debates on whether abortion should be accepted or not as well as counseling issues. Counseling on

The advice will help the women be cautious and avoid by all means possible, the factors that could lead to the option of abortion. This is because abortion does not always have positive results since there are other repercussions associated with the practice. The counseling will help women be aware and have enough knowledge concerning abortion. The information in support and against the practice is likely to be put across by various parties. The health organizations might also look into the issue later using what the supporters and opposers have presented on the table as their support points.

- 17. Unit III Research Paper Outline For this assignment, you will write the introduction for your research paper. Your introduction should include at least five sentences, introduce your reader to the topic you have chosen to research, and provide a strong thesis statement. Conclude the first page by providing an outline for your final paper. Next, in a one-page summary, identify any barriers that you have experienced with research that you have conducted so far and how that has affected your attitude. For example, have you had trouble finding information (attitude change)? How have you overcome those barriers (attitude resilience)? In conclusion, you are creating a document that has three sections: introduction, outline, and summary. The reasoning for all of this is to help ensure you are on the right path, have chosen a good topic to research, and can gain help from your professor if needed. This assignment should be completed in APA style and be at least two pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages. Question 1 As you consider the information in the textbook regarding information processing and behavior, think about unconscious attitude and the following decisions: · Voting, · Getting on social media, · Marrying, and · Having children. Choose one of the topics, and discuss how some people are more affected by that decision over the others.
