Explain how the assignment for Positive Psychology will be conducted? This one is easy. You′re asked to review the required materials, as indicated in the desсrіption of the project, and then provide thoughtful responses to BOTH of the two scenarios (Personal Life Experience AND Negative Circumstances Faced by a Public Individual or Organization) discussed below. You may share your responses in the form of an e-mail, or–if you prefer–another program, such as Word, PowerPoint, or Prezi. . Note that because this assignment is intended to help fulfill only the attendance/participation component of your grade, please consider the assignment as a kind of mini (or micro) presentation that you might make in class. Accordingly, what′s being asked for is a succinct delivery of your perspective–so you need not worry about authoring lengthy, refined sentences to share that perspective. Expanded bullet points, not ″style points″ are what′s called for here. What will the Positive Psychology Non-Major assignment involve? In terms of PowerPoint slides, please review the very short (just a handful of slides- the down below attached file) Positive Psychology set of slides (which is attached). In terms of Video links, you′re asked to look at the following videos, which look at positive psychology from very different perspectives: Here′s the link to ″Educating for Happiness and Resilience″ (time: 17:58) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v＝DbC18wFkHNI&t＝211s And here′s the link to an adversarial perspective on positive psychology, Barbara Ehrenreich′s ″Smile or Die″ (time: 10:23) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v＝u5um8QWWRvo OUR POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY ASSIGNMENT. Your response should use expanded bullet points to address BOTH of the following 1. Personal Life Experience AND 2. Negative Circumstances Faced by an Individual or Organization): 1. Personal life experience Briefly discuss an incident in your life in which you either… (a) used positive psychology to overcome troubling circumstances (please discuss those circumstances and how you overcame them) OR… (b) were so immersed in despair or sorrow that for a time you could not ″see the light,″ and thus found yourself in a very negative place from which it was difficult for you to emerge. What were the circumstances you faced, and why do you think you responded as you did? If you chose (b), and felt awash in darkness, how did you ″bring yourself back″ from the edge? In retrospect–whether you choose to focus on (a) or (b)–do you feel that you gained a valuable lesson from the experience by responding as you did, or do you now regret your actions? …after you′ve concluded your work on the Personal Life Experience component, please review and complete the second component, Negative Circumstances Faced by a Public Individual or Organization: 2. Negative circumstances faced by a public individual or organization Briefly describe a situation encountered by either a public figure (e.g., a celebrity, politician, athlete, or businessperson) or a well-known organization. How did you feel about the individual/organization′s behavior, and did you (a) agree with the news coverage (which likely painted a bleak picture of the individual or organization) or did you (b) develop a sense of sympathy for the individual/organization in spite of the adversarial coverage? Please briefly discuss your perceptions in a thoughtful paragraph (or expanded bullet points). Finally (and importantly), devote another thoughtful paragraph (or expanded bullet points) to discuss where you believe ″TRUTH″ resided with respect to circumstances the individual or organization faced.
