1) British writer Vincenzo Oliveti wrote, “God revealed to the Prophet Muhammad the Holy Qur'an, the Sacred Book of Islam. The religion this created, however, was not a new message but simply a final and total Arabic restatement of God's messages to the Hebrew Prophets and to Jesus.” Based on what you know about Judaism and Christianity would you agree with this statement? You may read more of Oliveti’s text in The 500 Most Influential Muslims

2)  The first nobel truth of Buddhism is “all is suffering.” The goal of practicing Buddhism, then, is to eliminate personal suffering through extinguishing our desires and our attachment to the idea of “self.” There are no distinctions between good desires and bad desires, for all desires lead to suffering. To what degree do you think this is true? Is it possible that some kinds of desires are good and even necessary to life?

Background: In December 2017, 9-year old Jack and his mother (Harriet) were visiting their extended family in Melbourne. They were shopping in the city on 21 December when a driver drove his car into pedestrians at the corner of Flinders and Elizabeth streets. Jack and his mum witnessed this event (in which 18 people were injured, with an elderly man subsequently dying from his injuries). They were not in harm’s way (with the car travelling away from them and the driver quickly apprehended. However, Jack and his mum had multiple conversations about how they each thought they could have been killed during the attack. Two days later, Jack and his mum returned to their home in Brisbane.

Jack lives in an intact family consisting of his biological parents, Harriet and Peter, and his older sister Natalie. He is in Grade 4 at the local primary school and has lots of friends. He is also close to his parents and his grandparents (who are involved in his care during the week).

Immediately following his return home, Jack experienced nightmares on a few occasions about cars driving towards him. After the first nightmare, Jack’s dad (who has a history of anxiety and depression) encouraged Jack to sleep in the parents’ bedroom on a camp mattress. Despite mum’s suggestion that it is time for Jack to move back to his own bedroom, he is still sleeping in his parents’ room. Jack’s mum and dad have had many arguments about this situation. Peter’s (dad) perspective is that:

Jack is a very sensitive child who (even as a newborn baby) is more easily upset than other children;

Jack has been exposed to a traumatic experience in which he could have been killed;

Loving support (including avoidance of going into Brisbane city) is required to prevent Jack from developing ongoing mental health problems following this exposure; and

He (dad) could not cope if he lost one of his children.

From Harriet’s (mum) perspective:

The experience was upsetting but she and Jack were not hurt and were never likely to have been hurt (as she has discussed with Jack);

Peter (dad) needs to talk about the attack less; and

Jack is a healthy boy who seems to be handling the experience well.

Question: How likely do you think it is that Jack might develop a diagnosable mental health problem following his exposure to the attack in Melbourne? [Note, you are not being asked to identify possible mental health problems]. Identify 8 factors (a mixture of risk and protective factors – does not need to be 4 of each; but rather 8 in total) to justify your answer, and explain why each is either  a risk or a protective factor.
