Presenting the Good Life – Positive Psychology

/in /by

Presenting the Good Life

Positive psychology focuses on three important concepts of the pleasant life, the good life, and the meaningful life.

Seligman (2005) purports that experiencing these three pillars of positive psychology creates “the full-life.” This assignment focuses on the second pillar: the good life.

According to the positive psychology model, the good life involves identifying and amplifying unique strengths and skills. The goal of identifying your signature strengths is to be able to amplify these strengths in flow experiences.

This assignment is divided into two tasks. You will first identify your personal signature strengths and then apply these strengths to transform a tedious activity into an enlivened one.

Task I

What are your top three strengths when you experience flow? Using the Internet, research various instruments available that can help you identify your strengths. When conducting your Internet search, use the following phrases:

  • Measuring flow experiences
  • Dimensions of flow
  • Measuring signature strengths
  • OCEAN personality psychometric test
  • The big five test
  • Trait theory personality test
  • Five factor model (FFM)

Select one of the instruments from your research and complete the test to determine your strengths. Then do the following:

  • Evaluate your results and create a list of your personal signature strengths.

If you are unable to use these instruments, then list what you understand or believe to be your top three strengths when you experience flow.

Task II

This task requires you to engage in an activity that you find tedious. While engaging in the activity, tap into an identified personal strength and enliven the experience. For example, a student who dislikes the task of commuting to work resolves to tap into her creativity and sing to her favorite music while driving, thus transforming the experience from tedious to an enlivened one.

Engage in an activity you consider tedious and then tap into an identified personal strength to enliven it.

Upon completion of this activity, create a  PowerPoint presentation with the following information: 

  • Slide 1: Title slide
  • Slide 2: Discuss a scholarly reference on the validity of using signature strengths to create flow.
  • Slide 3: Describe the strengths you identified after doing an evaluation of yourself.
  • Slides 4–5: Discuss the application of strengths to the activity. Include your ideas on how and why the activity was transformed from tedious to an enlivened activity.
  • Slides 6–7: Demonstrate how to apply this and other signature strengths to transform other tasks identified as tedious.
  • Slide 8: Discuss your general state of emotion after completing the enlivened activity. Examine the reasons for this state of emotion. Include one scholarly reference from established research on positive psychology that supports the use of signature strengths to facilitate a state of well-being.
  • Slide 9: Discuss how recognizing and using signature strengths can help improve relationships.
  • Slide 10: Provide a list of references in APA format

Develop a 10-slide scripted presentation in PowerPoint format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Soc 308 W5 Rocial & Ethnic Groups Final Assignment

/in /by

Final Paper
A sociologist must be able to analyze racial and ethnic differences in different national contexts. Race and ethnicity are constructed differently in different places and at different times. For example, in the U.S., race is defined in a way such that two children with the same biological parents cannot possibly be of different races. In contrast, some countries, such as the Dominican Republic, define race in a way that would allow for siblings (born of the same parents) to be placed into different racial categories. In order to develop this skill, you will select a particular country and analyze the ethnic stratification within that society. For this assignment, you must focus on ethnic stratification and conflict, including evidence of prejudice and discrimination. In addition to a description of the selected society and its ethnic groups, include an analysis of similarities and differences in the society’s ethnic stratification system as compared to the United States.

You may select one of the countries on the CIA World Factbook website for comparison to the United States in terms of the ethnic stratification system.

The following information should be included in your timeline:

  1. Title
  2. Describe the selected country’s society, focusing on ethnic groups, stratification, and conflict.
  3. Provide examples of the ethnic problems in that society, including evidence of prejudice and discrimination.
  4. Discuss what the experts say about ethnic problems (or ethnic harmony) in the selected country’s society.
  5. Compare the selected country’s society society in the United States. Evaluate similarities and differences related to ethnic groups, stratification, and conflict, using specific examples gathered in your research.
  6. Conclude with reflections and thoughts about ethnic groups and the societies in which we live.
  7. References

Academic research papers must meet certain standards of quality recognized by the academic community. What constitutes quality, academic research?

  1. Primary (original) sources written by experts in the field of study.
  2. Secondary sources supported by research in primary sources.
  3. Credible sources (experts in the field; well-known theorists; sources which use primary and secondary sources to support claims).
  4. Relevant research (materials are pertinent to the area of study).
  5. In graduate work, the use of peer-reviewed journal articles (journal articles reviewed by recognized experts in the relevant field of study) is required.
  6. Educational and government websites (those ending with a web URL suffix of .edu or .gov) may be appropriate in some cases but should be evaluated carefully.

The paper must be eight to ten pages in length, formatted according to APA style, and include a title and a reference page (which does not count towards the page length). Support your points with examples from the text and at least seven scholarly sources, three of which can be found in the Ashford Online Library. For information regarding APA samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar.

Writing the Final Paper

5-8 pages for an Implementation Plan portion of the overall Business Plan Idea for Starbucks

In Milestone Two, you will submit an implementation plan, which is a clear and comprehensive plan for implementing and managing the concept from inception
to completion. Although the details of your plan will necessarily depend upon your concept, at a minimum, your plan should include the following critical
elements:
Critical Elements:

 Physical and technological resources needed for the concept, including where these will come from and how they will be used to reduce cost or improve
operations. Be sure to discuss why one resource option is better than another where appropriate.

• A detailed implementation schedule covering what needs to be done, by when, and, tentatively, by whom. (Note that key personnel will be covered in
more depth in Milestone Three.) The schedule should identify the critical path to success and outline the dependencies between tasks.
• Project review processes and indicators of success to ensure that the project stays on target.

• An explanation of how intrapreneurship or entrepreneurship factor in to the implementation of your plan and how you will protect intangible assets,
such as intellectual property or brand.

Guidelines for Submission: Your draft must contain all of the elements listed above. It should be 5 to 8 pages in length (excluding the title page, references, and
appendices) using 12-point Times New Roman font, with one-inch margins. You may include summary pictures, charts, graphs, or other explanatory diagrams as
needed to successfully explain the concept and implementation, but should use appendices for detailed supporting documentation. Your paper should follow
APA guidelines. You must include at least 5 scholarly sources. Cite your sources within the text of your paper and on the reference page.
