Week 2 Inside Out & Basic Emotional Development

  • https://youtu.be/0adjUjhjEFs https://youtu.be/o5c1gIzQoPI
  • https://youtu.be/ZZfOsg3UWwQ https://youtu.be/Ivo1JGv_eh4 https://youtu.be/tG-oS_A3XQ0

Purpose: Students are able to better conceptualize the formation of Primary Emotions and their impact on early cognitive processes through visual representations of these emotions and their application to real life scenarios.

Instructions: The following clips are official trailers from Disney-Pixar’s film “Inside Out”, where you will get to “Meet the Emotions”: Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust. In the feature length film, we walk with the main character, Riley, as she develops the use of each of these “basic” emotions and then how they begin to interact with each other.

Watch the following clips and answer the reflection questions below:

  • INSIDE OUT I Meet Joy I Official Disney Pixar UK n
  • INSIDE OUT I Meet Sadness I Official Disney Pixar UK n
  • INSIDE OUT I Meet Fear I Official Disney Pixar UK n
  • INSIDE OUT I Meet Anger I Official Disney Pixar UK n
  • INSIDE OUT I Meet Disgust I Official Disney Pixar UK n

Respond:

In a 2-3 page paper; answer the following reflection questions as they pertain to the clips you have watched and your knowledge of Basic Emotional development in Infancy and toddlerhood.

  • Now that you have “Met the Emotions,” discuss your initial emotional response to having Basic Emotions that you experience every day, personified on the screen in front of you.
  • List and describe the Basic Emotions that are universal to humans and primates alike.
  • In the clips you watched from Disney-Pixar’s Inside Out, were all of the Basic Emotions represented in the animated characters? If not, why do you think certain emotions were included and others excluded?
  • In the clips from Disney-Pixars’ Inside Out, do you think the portrayal of the emotions and their core attributes are in keeping with what the research tells us about the Basic Emotions in children?
  • Discuss the adaptive purposes of each of the Basic Emotions and why each emotion is useful in the development, and ultimately, the survival of each child.
  • Discuss the emergence of Self-Conscious Emotions in toddlerhood. List and describe four self-conscious emotions and how they differ from Basic Emotions.

Be sure your paper is 2-3 pages and formatted according to APA guidelines including in-text citations and a reference page citing any of the course resources (such as your textbook or journal articles) assigned for the week that you used.

Discussion in Principles of Human Biology

Alcohol abuse continues to be the most serious drug problem on college campuses throughout the United States. Every year, drinking kills more than 1,700 students and injures about 500,000 more; it is also a factor in 600,000 assaults and 100,000 rapes on college campuses. Enzyme-mediated metabolic pathways break down the toxic ethanol in alcoholic beverages. Ethanol kills liver cells and interferes with normal metabolic processes. Long-term heavy drinking causes alcoholic hepatitis, inflammation, and destruction of liver tissue, and cirrhosis. Cirrhosis prevents the liver from removing drugs and other toxins from the blood, so they accumulate in the brain where they impair mental functioning, and alter personality. Restricted blood flow through the liver increases susceptibility to diabetes, liver cancer, and death.

Important Concepts from Chapter 3 of the course text:

  • Introduction: Ethyl Alcohol Liver cells detoxify most of the alcohol a person drinks, but in the long run this process may lead to alcohol-related hepatitis and cirrhosis. Long-term heavy use also damages memory, reflexes, and other functions. Binge drinking can stop the heart.
  • Section 3.13: Metabolism Series of enzymatic reactions in cells (metabolism) help cells acquire and use energy as they build, break down, or remodel organic molecules. Metabolism requires enzymes. Each kind of enzyme recognizes specific reactants, or substrates, and alters them in a specific way. Each enzyme functions best in a particular range of conditions that reflect the environment in which it evolved. Metabolic pathways can involve thousands of molecules and be quite complex.

After viewing the Read items on alcohol in the Learn section, briefly describe three health risks and/or negative physical effects of heavy drinking. For each thread, students must support their assertions with at least two scholarly references. Is it a sin for a Christian to drink excessively?

Why or why not (provide Biblical references)? The initial post should demonstrate a biblical understanding of human behavior.

 

Why do we study the humanities if we are treating the body? What does studying the humanities give us that mere scientific study and exploration cannot?

Essay Topic

Write for 10 minutes without stopping, even if you must write “I don’t know what to write right now” to keep your hand or fingers moving. The idea with freewriting is to give yourself the opportunity to discover ideas you may not know you had or to stumble upon a new idea that takes you somewhere interesting.

We have explored the human experience of receiving a diagnosis, facing illness, tolerating suffering, and approaching death, while we have also considered why studying the humanities gives us, as friends, family, and most importantly caregivers, the ability to develop compassion and empathy to offer others. While it is generally agreed that studying the humanities does provide us the skill of empathy, it is not always so easy to articulate why this is true. In your final paper, you will write an analytical essay and attempt to do so.

Think about what you were able to experience vicariously through the words, expression, and visualization of the artists.

Consider what new knowledge, understanding, sensitivity, or sensation you were able to encounter that you would not have done otherwise.

As you answer these questions:

Then, bring that awareness to your concept of what skills it is important for healthcare providers to possess and answer the questions:

Why do we study the humanities if we are treating the body?
What does studying the humanities give us that mere scientific study and exploration cannot?
What does contemplating art and considering the beauty of the human experience, even a painful one, bring to the healthcare provider’s landscape of understanding?

Include your observations and reflections from your favorite discussion posts and the ideas and discoveries the works of art from the modules inspired in you, consider the words of Martignoni, et al. and incorporate their concepts where appropriate, incorporate your own thoughts and interpretations that may not have been specifically articulated in your reading and other materials.

Career Opportunities Paper

In completing this assignment, learners will research psychological specialties available in the workforce to gain an understanding of the careers in psychology. Research the psychology specialties listed below using the Occupational Outlook Handbook at the American Psychological Association website.

  • Child Psychologist-INTERESTED IN
  • Counseling Psychologist-INTERESTED IN

After researching each of the career specialties, write a pair (2) of succinct and thorough paragraphs summarizing the job responsibilities, work locations, salaries, education, licensing requirements and career outlooks for each career represented as percentage of growth expected.

Following each of the 12 paragraph pairs, note whether the specialty in psychology would be of interest to you as a career option in the future, explaining your reasons.
Once the 12 sets of paragraphs and interest or non-interest explanations are complete, compile them into a single APA formatted paper using the career titles as separate, APA formatted headings within the paper body.

Wrap up the paper with two paragraphs comparing the way in which information about the 12 careers is communicated in the Occupational Outlook Handbook versus how it is communicated on the APA website (i.e. which format was the easiest to navigate and understand, had the most useful information, etc.).
Provide specific one or two examples to exemplify the general comparisons provided.
Include a minimum 8 to 10 pages, not including the required APA formatted title and reference pages; submit APA style in-text citations throughout the work as well.

The basic parts of a paper should also be included; these are the opening, introduction section, with a precise thesis statement, the body of the paper with clear, discernable headings formatted to APA style levels of heading where appropriate, and a conclusion that restates the thesis and summarizes the major points of the entire paper.
