Instructions:  Here are the essay questions you will need to answer for our class on Wednesday, February 26.

  1. Compare and contrast the motivational concepts and systems set forth by Freud, Jung, and Adler in their respective theories of personality.  What “driving forces” did each theorist rely upon that propels or moves us through life.  You may also want to discuss what may happen if those forces are thwarted or prevented from being expressed or experienced.
  2. Discuss how each of the three theorists address what is needed to take steps to develop a healthy personality.

Make sure you use appropriate vocabulary and terms used by each theorist to illustrate the points you are making (e.g., Adler—style of life and creative power)

Be sure to cite information from our text or other reference material you are utilizing to support your answers.

Assignment Guidelines: Utilizing Dossey and Keegan (2016) chapter 29 & 30 (provided), all content learned in the course, and any additional supportive sources, the student will engage in self-assessment, personal reflection, and identification of integrative health self-care practices to demonstrate value of a certain modality to any aspect of self-care. A personal self-assessment must be included and one holistic/integrative modality must be highlighted.

  1. Read chapter 29 (provided in Module 5)
  2. Read chapter 30 and complete the Integrative Health and Wellness Assessment (5 pages). You are completing this for yourself. You are not turning this assessment in. Ch30 Dossey and Keegan.pdf
  3. Provide a summary and synthesis of your assessment to include but not limited to: How you felt doing the assessment, any significance in scores on areas to address. Did these scores/areas surprise you? When you self-reflect on these areas is there meaning in these scores? What are the 3 changes that you have identified for implementation over the 3 months?
  4. Pick one of the 3 changes that you have identified and determine an integrative health modality that would be of benefit to your health.
  5. Describe the integrative modality and provide evidence as to why you would pick this modality for this area of need.

For instance, I might find a study done on nursing student stress that uses meditation, if meditation is what I have chosen etc.
  6. Conclude your paper by using self-reflection to reflect on this experience as a whole and on the modality that you chose and the impact that it may have on your life.

Describe the creative situation, scenario, story or incident that will be dramatized by these brands.

/in /by

According to Ad Age contributor, Jack Neff, this year’s Super Bowl should have been called the Co-Op Bowl.[1]  The networks[2] airing the Super Bowl have traditionally not welcomed overt multi-brand ads; however, Super Bowl 2020 included a number of multi-brand ads, many featuring brands from competing parent companies, such as Kraft Heinz’ Planters and P&G’s Mr. Clean.

Your task:

  1. Research: Using reliable sources (more than one), find out.
    1. how P&G decided which brands to include in its multi-brand Super Bowl 2020 ad.
    2. what the risks are of combining brands in a single ad.
  1. Get Creative: Not using any of the brands featured in Super Bowl 2020 multi-brand ads:
    1. propose three brands from a single parent company (P&G, Kellogg, Mars, Unilever, Coca Cola, Mondelèz, just to name a few) to feature in a multi-brand ad.
    2. outline which of the three brands will be the featured brand.
    3. describe the creative situation, scenario, story or incident that will be dramatized by these brands.
    4. explain how you will protect the brand equity of each of the brands.
  1. Write: in an informal memo report, using graphic highlighting and headings:
    1. In the first part of the report, outline what you discovered via your research (P&G’s process; risks)
    2. In the second part of the report, walk me through your creative process, including all the requested information (Get Creative a, b, c, and d)
  1. Address the Informal Memo Report to me, and give me a title; give yourself a title as well
  2. Use headings, graphic highlighting, short, clear paragraphs, and white space to make your information easy to access.
  3. Include both a short introduction and conclusion.
  4. Cite all research used. Cite this research within the report, using either parenthetical citations (in either MLA or APA format) or foot/endnote citations (I’ve used footnotes here.), and include a full citation of each source in a Works Cited (MLA) OR a Bibliography (APA) OR in foot/endnotes (as done here).

FAIR WARNING: 

  • If you don’t cite within the report, you’ll lose 10 points for each missing citation.
  • If you don’t include a full citation for each source used within the report (in a Works Cited or Bibliography at the end of the report OR in foot/endnotes), you’ll lose 10 points for each missing source. If you include only a URL, you will lose 25 points for each URL.
  • If you include no research at all, you’ll lose 50 points.

The point is, do your research and document it fully!
