Comparing theoretical perspectives using critical thinking

Part A: Comparing Theoretical Perspectives
Introduction
One of the challenges for introductory students is to understand how researchers from different perspectives might be interested in different “parts” of human nature. Even though they might be studying the same general issue, psychologists from different perspectives may arrive at a very different understanding of the same behaviour. It is important therefore, to understand these differences in order to try to see the bigger picture.
Let’s apply our comparison of different perspectives to the study of career choice. How would you choose a career, based on reasoning from the following theoretical perspectives: biological, learning, cognitive, socio‐cultural, and psychodynamic?

Instructions
Write a paragraph describing why a hypothetical twenty‐year‐old student called Lee might choose a career as an airline pilot based on reasoning from the five perspectives outlined above. Your description should make it clear how the reasoning in each case is unique to that perspective.
You have to:
1.Firstly, provides several reasons for career choice from each perspective
2. Secondly, reasoning reflects accurate understanding of theories
