Culture and Morality

/in /by

This week’s theme was Culture and Morality. Lectures and reading examined the interplay between the politics of morality and the impact of morality on culture, especially the arts. We also examined three episodes of censorship. This week’s prompts will encourage you to consider these themes in greater depth.

Pick one of the prompts below and write an essay (400-700 words) in response in formal academic English. (So basically, your best grammar, punctuation and spelling; citations for quoted materials; paragraphing; and an internal structure to the essay—e.g., intro, body, conclusion.) For citations, please use footnotes or endnotes.

If you are unfamiliar with footnote citation systems, please consult online resources that explain them. The Turabian system and the University of Chicago system are nearly identical. The websites linked below organize the material in different ways; so, consult the one you find more readable

The Inferno by Dante

/in /by

It was once said that our modern-day notions of hell are directly taken from Dante’s fictional account of his journey into the center of the inferno.  As you read, I want you to notice how increasingly violent, heartless, and curious Dante becomes.  He leaves the right path and must journey toward Satan in order to find the right path.  The anti-climatic ending indicates I think, that the devil was with him the whole time — that Satan did not show up at the end but was with him when he took his first step in the wrong direction.

This allows us to think about Satan and human nature very differently.

Is curiosity the first step toward doom as we see in The Inferno?  How does the devil work to get us to stray off the right path?  Are Dante’s vivid descriptions of the various torments of the damned yet another sign that Dante was, perhaps, enjoying the trek toward Satan, thereby indicating that Dante’s journey was somewhat of indulgence in sin?

Projective Techniques

/in /by

Despite trying to remain objective, individuals’ personalities and personal interpretations might unconsciously influence their responses to personality assessments. Projective techniques attempt to tap into this unconsciousness. Unlike the directness of self-report inventories, these performance-based measures rely on interpreting the performance of clients as they respond to ambiguous stimuli. Projective techniques include the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), the House-Tree-Person (HTP), the Tell-Me-A-Story (TEMAS), and the Incomplete Sentence Blank tests (ISB). As a psychologist, in what circumstances might projective techniques be an effective assessment method?

For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources. Select two projective instruments from the following list: Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), House-Tree-Person (HTP) Test, Incomplete Sentence Blank (ISB), and Tell-Me-A-Story (TEMAS) Assessment. Consider the similarities and differences between the two instruments you selected and the insights you gained from your comparison. Finally, think about three challenges related to the use of the instruments you selected.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a comparison (similarities and differences) of the two projective instruments you selected and explain what insight you gained from making that comparison. Explain three challenges related to the use of the projective instruments you selected.
