Prejudice has traditionally been assumed to be the product of some form of malice, brought about by social or emotional forces. In recent years; however, there has been increasing research on how prejudice can result from cognitive processes, without malicious intent. Discuss how and why cognitive processes can produce prejudice. Once stereotypes and prejudices are formed, how do they come to be self-perpetuating?

In two complete paragraphs (5-8 sentences each), explain why doctors may not be comfortable labeling children as having a personality disorder? What are the negative implications of diagnosing children with personality disorders? What are the positive effects of early diagnosis?

1. Medication-could this be a benefit or a drawback to the child. What about potential side effects? (5 points)

What do you think Ritzer means when he writes “we do not want to convey the impression that it is some mystical process that is, under its own momentum, sweeping through the world” (p. 100)? If rationalization is not a “mystical process,” what is it? Why is it important for us to understand this point?

People generally tend to have strong feelings about the existential, humanistic and positive psychology approaches. Some consider them more holistic because they can embrace the more spiritual and esoteric aspects of the human condition. Others consider them unstructured and unscientific.

What do you think?

Discuss

Post a thoughtful and reflective argument explaining the advantages and the disadvantages of the existential, humanistic and positive approaches to studying personality. Be thorough and give specific detail.

You may draw on the material in the text, but make sure to add your own thoughts and ideas about the perspectives in this module.

Please read the following case study and answer the questions to the best of your ability.

Case 16.1: Writing Impressions and Recommendations

Casey, 18 years old, is in her first year of college and comes into the college counseling center with her roommate, Aisha. Casey indicates that Aisha should come into the case manager's office as the case manager begins the intake process. Casey smells as if she has not bathed and her clothes are rumpled and askew.

Case manager: Have a seat. Anywhere is fine. Tell me a little bit about what brought you in today.

Casey: I can't sleep. (giggles) I can't sleep. I don't know. (drops her keys and begins looking over the side of the chair for her keys)

Aisha: She has been up for two nights. She says she has a good idea for this paper or that project or whatever she is working on, but she won't go…

Casey gets up and begins to pace.

Casey: I don't need to eat. She keeps trying to get me to eat. See, I got this new idea about how the people in Poland related to the Germans and I am trying to put this together for an essay. No one has ever looked at it this way before. World War II was so unsettling for the Poles. My grandparents were Polish—you know refugees after the war. I have, I can see this the way no one else has ever looked at it. I put some ideas together.

Aisha: I went over to the library last evening to get her. They were closing, and she would not leave. I just think there is something…

Casey: (bouncing in her chair and then jumping up again) Nothing is wrong. I know that's what you were going to say, Aisha. Nothing is wrong. You don't leave in the middle of a great idea, a breakthrough. It's a breakthrough. (raises her voice) Original. I'm the only person who sees it this way. I have to write it all down before I forget it or someone else gets to the ideas first.

Aisha: She wasn't like this when school started.

Casey: You're talking about me. What do you mean? Wasn't like what?

Aisha: Casey. You slept. You ate. You went to class. When were you last in Mr. Howard's class?

Casey: I'll catch up. I can catch up. You go. I don't feel I need to be in class every time it meets. I can more or less just know what is going on and be on top of everything when I get back. Right now, I need to do this. I'm on to something new. Look, did you know that in September of 1939 the Polish government went to Romania, you know, to get away from the Germans? And that means the Romanians were involved in this too. And then Germany attacked the Soviets in 1941. See? See how it all fits together?

Case manager: Tell me about your other classes.

Casey: I don't have time for them right now. I am trying to point out how the Germans brought all this together.

Aisha: (looks helpless). She talks about this all the time and I… (she looks down at her lap) What can I do? There is something wrong. Big time!

The interview continues this way with the case manager unable to get any substantive information from Casey. Aisha seems to want to help but Casey talks over her or interrupts her. The case manager refers Casey to be seen by a physician, and Casey is hospitalized.

The feminist movement could perhaps be stronger if it could provide a more unified front. It seems as though there are numerous groups which are attempting to obtain more rights, power, and influence for women but if they could combine forces perhaps they could be more successful. My question is: Can the feminist movement achieve all it's goals through splinter groups or will these groups need to unite in order to gain equality?

this discussion invites you to consider the validity of this interpretation of political globalization, by reflecting on the current COVID-19 health pandemic and considering what the global response to this crisis tells us about the relative power of individual states, and the role of IGOs like the World Health Organization (WHO). To what extent are we currently living in an era of global governance? To what extent do individual states retain sovereignty? Are all states equally independent? Would a 'real' world government be preferable in the face of this kind of global pandemic? Why or why not? Compare and contrast two countries, the best and worst, to find out how are some states responding to the COVID -19 crisis? At an individual level, what are you doing to flatten the curve?
