Short Answer Questions. Choose ONLY three (3) items for your response; there is NO mandatory item for you to prepare this time. Your response will be considered for its thoughtfulness more than whether it has exactly the right content. You are encouraged to just ponder and give your opinions about the items even if you do not have a certainty about them, however, you should also review the course content to inform your opinions.
Background of the questions. I find your discussions and dialogues fascinating and I want your classmates to have the opportunity to continue thinking about them. As before, I tried to keep the questions close to the authors’ original statements with some alterations. If you notice your own statements among the choices, it is fine for you to still answer any of them as desired.
Resources. You may revisit the discussion boards for more context, and you may also have conversations with others in addition to using your textbook and other research. Perhaps your family or housemates would be interested in thinking together. Feel free to report back what they say in your response.
Items: Choose Three Prompts
Choose three (3) of the prompts below to prepare your response:
Our textbook chapter on death and dying covers a very sensitive topic for many of us, but several classmates found the content to be essential for living a better – more meaningful – life. The suggestion was made that we should educate ourselves on the complexities of death: how to grieve when we lose loved ones, for example, and how the timing, processes, and causes of death interact. Think about one or more of these topics in terms of your own values and how you want to live. To help you reflect, refer to Covey’s 6-months perspective.
One of our classmates has always wondered why most adolescents feel the need to shake up their parent-child relationships or what happens in a person’s development that causes them to engage in these behaviors. One researcher, Daniel J. Siegel, simplifies some really complex answers in a YouTube discussion of his book Brainstorm: The Power and Purpose of the Teenage Brain.Note: Choose almost any 15-20-minute segment and play it on 1.5X speed if you’re in a rush. How would you answer your classmate’s question based on any part of Siegel’s talk? (You can also save this for later and watch the whole thing – it’s amazing and I love to talk about it!)
In adult relationships, several members of our class agree that divorce and single parenthood seem to cause the most disruption and pain, especially for children. How do issues surrounding gender seem to impact relationship outcomes (you may consider children or adults; choose any subtopic, e.g., gender roles, LGBTQ+ considerations, income, custody, or public assistance).
How does participating in different kinds of play impact the relationships we form in different phases of life? Should adults approach play and friend-making in a more “child-like” way? As an example, one classmate discussed how boys tend to participate in rough-and-tumble play more often than girls, but wondered if girls begin to feel self conscious or judged if they (continue to) play in this way as they grow older. Children make friends rapidly and play freely without seeming to care about being judged by others. How can adults share this approach?
