Week 2 Homework


Due Thursday, 9/6
·       Read chapter 4 of the Entwistle text.
·       Watch the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ5LEgk1fKo. Then, based on this video, class notes, and the Rice text, answer the following prompt:
o   A large part of psychology deals with understanding what suffering is, why we suffer, and how to end such suffering.  What is the Christian worldview approach to suffering? What is the humanistic/non-Christian approach to suffering? How might psychological treatment and counseling change depending on those worldviews? Consider the differing views on suffering that would drive and direct a counseling or psychotherapeutic approach. In your opinion, would treatment of disorders be more beneficial stemming from a Christian or humanistic theory of suffering? Why?
§  Typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, edited.
§  Any quotes must be encased in quotation marks and cited in APA format.  I would prefer you paraphrase the majority, if not all, of your answer.
§  Should be at least two paragraphs (min. 10 complete sentences) in length. This should not be more than 5 paragraphs in length, however.  Keep your answer concise.
Due Tuesday, 9/11

·       Read pages 23-29 (until Neuro-biology) of the Rice Text.
·       Read pages 28 (starting at Protestantism and Science)-the Summary on page 37 of the Entwistle text.
·       At this point, we have learned a lot about worldview and how one’s worldview profoundly affects our understanding of psychology. One of the most predominant worldviews to pervade psychology is that of naturalism, inspired in large part by the work of Charles Darwin.
o   Create two lists of bullet points. One list will be labeled “Naturalism”, under which you will write (Charles Darwin). The other list will be labeled “Christianity”, under which you will write (the Bible).  Using your textbooks and notes, identify at least 10 different contrasting points to be made between those worldviews (ex: Anything but God is responsible for our existence VS. God is the reason for existence).
§  Make sure all of your bullet points are coherent and are written in complete sentences.
§  You may do this as a simple set-up in a word document OR you may make this creative.
§  Regardless of whatever method you choose, YOU MUST include a Works Cited page with your bullet point (on a separate page).  APA is the specified format. Everything you get your information from for this assignment must be included on the Works Cited page.
