Week 3 Journal

Prior to completing this journal, read Chapter 6: Personality and Abnormal Psychology in the course textbook, and review the information on The Prevalence and Treatment of Mental Illness Today (Links to an external site.), Mental Health by the Numbers (Links to an external site.), https://www.nami.org/mhstats. and Careers: Psychologist. A Day in the Life of a Psychologist (Links to an external site.)   https://www.princetonreview.com/careers/130/psychologist web pages. The readings discuss numerous aspects of what you have learned about throughout psychology courses.

For this reflection,

  • First, utilizing a career search engine, identify potential psychology-related careers that may be available to you in the community where you live.

Possible engines:

  • Indeed (Links to an external site.)
  • Glassdoor (Links to an external site.)
  • Monster (Links to an external site.)
  • Ziprecruiter (Links to an external site.)
  • Next, discuss at least two key pieces of psychological knowledge associated with personality and abnormal psychology that could be helpful to you in your future career, or even in your role as a parent or community leader.
    • For example, if you are looking to attend graduate school to become a counselor, identify areas that you may want to include in your as knowledge and skills on your resume.
    • If you are going to be pursuing a career in an organization, how might understanding personality types support your success? How could this be clearly demonstrated in your cover letter or resume?
    • If you are a parent or community leader, what aspects could support your decision making in these contexts?
    • There are numerous possibilities about what developed knowledge and skills you believe will support you the most and will be guided by your goals, and even perhaps your goal steps addressed in your Week 2 Journal.

Your journal this week should be 400 to 500 words and have an introduction and a conclusion as described in the University of Arizona Global Campus Writing Center’s resource.

Being in the World

Martin Heidegger constructed new words to express his philosophy which focuses on Dasein.  The word may seem mysterious to us, but it is simply the German word, das sein, or Being.  In our text’s discussion of this, we find that Heidegger uses the following words to express his vision of Being: Being-in-the world; present-at-hand; and ready-to-hand.  He uses these terms to illustrate the world and our activities in it in a dramatically new way–a way which he says is closer to reality than the way we usually think.  Heidegger is a difficult philosopher to understand, but we can make an attempt at it by first, explaining the terms he uses, and second, seeing how those terms relate to his discussion of everyday objects, in his case a hammer.

So the assignment this week is to do a close reading of the pages in our reading that have to do with Dasein.  Heidegger uses the method of phenomenology to help him with this question.  So begin by explaining what phenomenology is.  Our reading continues with a discussion of “Being-in-the-World” which explains his conception of ready-to-hand and his famous example of a hammer.  Why does he use an example like that?  What is he getting at? Then finally the chapter deals with “The ‘Who’ of Dasein.”  It is here that he explains the difference between living an authentic or an inauthentic life.  Explain what he means about that and “averageness.”  

Once you have finished looking at these individual aspects of his thinking, write a paragraph explaining your overall impression of what Heidegger has to say.  

Submission:

  • Must be a minimum of 2 pages with standard 1-inch margins in Times New Roman or Garamond font. 
  • Must be double-spaced.
  • Must address the topic of the paper with critical thought.
  • Must include in-text citations and references in MLA style. 
  • Name, course, and assignment top left.
  • Include a Title.

Journal Article Analysis

Pick one of the following terms for your research: Strategic philanthropy, locus of control, ethical culture, ethical awareness, or normative approach.

Journal Article Analysis

Each student will select one of the key terms presented in the module and conduct a search for 1 recent peer-reviewed academic journal article (within the past 3 years) that closely relate to the concept. Your submission must include the following information in the following format:

DEFINITION: a brief definition of the key term followed by the APA reference for the term; this does not count in the word requirement.

SUMMARY: Summarize the article in your own words- this should be in the 150-200 word range. Be sure to note the article’s author, note their credentials and why we should put any weight behind his/her opinions, research or findings regarding the key term.

DISCUSSION: Using 300-350 words, write a brief discussion, in your own words of how the article relates to the selected chapter Key Term. A discussion is not rehashing what was already stated in the article, but the opportunity for you to add value by sharing your experiences, thoughts and opinions. This is the most important part of the assignment.

REFERENCES: All references must be listed at the bottom of the submission–in APA format.Be sure to use the headers in your submission to ensure that all aspects of the assignment are completed as required.  

race&ethnicity 2-3 pages paper

this assignment asks you to write 2–3 double-spaced pages in which you explain ETST 001 concepts from lectures in a way that will equip the recipient of your letter to better respond to racialization (either when it happens to them, when it’s happening around them, or when they are perpetuating it). The guiding themes of the histories and contemporary experiences of Asians and Asian-Americans, along with those of people with “mixed” backgrounds; however, there were several more specific topics that you might draw upon such as power and privilege, identity politics, the model minority myth, cultural materialism, settler colonialism, anti-blackness, and immigration status, among others. You are welcome to select the topic(s) that you deem to be most relevant so long as your letter engages with concepts from lectures. Aside from the need to include citations when referencing readings (even if you normally wouldn’t do this in a letter), your letter can follow whatever style you think is appropriate for the intended recipient. 

Here are some ideas for who you could write to: a friend, co-worker, teacher, politician, religious leader, family member (including future family members), or yourself at a younger age. (What do you know now about race and ethnicity that you wish you had known when you were a child? You could take a specific example from your childhood and build your letter around that.)

Assignment Rationale: “apply Ethnic Studies concepts to real situations”, then clarifies that course knowledge is meant to be applied. The purpose of this assignment is to create a formal opportunity, and to award you credit, for honing your skills in explaining concepts in a way that can help somebody else. 

Specific Requirements: This 2–3 page double-spaced document. 

  • a paragraph describing the letter’s recipient (think about what background you need to mention about this person for the letter’s intent to be clear)
