1. Explain how liminality, cultural chasm and white supremacy are inter-related.

2. Start to connect with the reading. Use ONE example of your read material and connect it to one of the term. How is the term being described in the reading. You can't use bell hooks and cultural chasm because I already provided you an example in the online lecture. BUT you can use another one from hooks' essay if you find it.

What is the Good Life, according to you? As a society, what should we be focusing on? In this assessment piece, you are required to draw on the concepts covered in the workshops and lectures, and your own ideas and experiences to briefly describe your view of the Good Life.

In this description, you can consider what you think our society should aspire to achieve, what you think progress is (and isn’t), what we should value, or whether you believe in promoting equality, equity or opportunity. Highlight how your idea of the Good Life compares or contrasts with the arguments made in the course readings.

Anorexia nervosa is a psychological disease characterized by an intense fear of becoming obese, a disturbed and distorted body image, significant weight loss unrelated to other illness, refusal to maintain normal body weight, and amenorrhea. Bulimia is an episodic pattern of uncontrollable food bingeing followed by purging. It is characterized by awareness that the pattern is abnormal, fear of being unable to stop eating voluntarily, depressed mood, and self-deprecation. Anorexia nervosa and bulimia are the two most common eating disorders. It is difficult to get an accurate assessment of eating disorders due to under-reporting. Athletes, in particular, are very secretive because they run the risk of being dropped from the team if the problem is discovered. They will only share the problem when the problem is almost catastrophic and professional help is needed.

Research demonstrates that goals are a powerful means for effecting behavior changes. Goals that directly influence behavior focus a performer's attention on important elements, increase motivation and persistence, and facilitate the development of new learning strategies. Goals that indirectly influence behavior can alter important psychological factors, such as self-confidence, anxiety, and satisfaction.

Structure a COMPREHENSIVE goal-setting program to help an athlete overcome either disorder.
