Psychology and Religion

By Academic Wizard Blog

Psychology and Religion

Chapter 7: Psychology has a complicated, intertwined relationship with religion. A classic example of this complicated relationship was William James, who like many prominent Victorian-era intellectuals, got caught up in the Spiritualism movement. For some reason, both Old England and New England were hotbeds of this movement. Remnants of it still exist in New York state – particularly in Lily Dale (because it was the home of the Fox Sisters). Now that I’ve given you all that info, find and analyze a nice history of the spiritualism movement in the U.S. Psychology and Religion

OK, given that some of you are still struggling with the term ‘analyze’, let me be more specific. You might want to address: What is the context? What was going on in the world (U.S.) that made so many people rush to embrace spiritualism? Why do you think so many highly intelligent and prominent people, like James or Arthur Conan-Doyle, became Spiritualists? What do you think the short-term/long-term, results were of the ‘spokesperson’ for Psychology jumping into Spiritualism? These are examples of what I mean by ‘analysis’ or ‘critical thinking.’ Just think about the topic and examine it in an informed discussion. Psychology and Religion

Chapter 8: G. Stanley Hall really started something. A surprisingly large number of psychologists work in various facets of education. Not just teaching, but also developing various tests, giving diagnostic tests, developing ways to measure effective teaching and effective learning, etc. Find a URL concerning the modern contributions of psychologists to education. Think about this like you did psychologists and the computer folks in the earlier assignment. Keep in mind that educational psychologists and school psychologists overlap but are not quite the same thing. Psychology and Religion

To be specific, look at my feedback about artificial intelligence. What does this psychology/education relationship mean? How has it affected psychology? Is it a good thing? Bad thing? Are there elements of both? What about the future? Again, THINK analysis. Hope this helps.

Critical Thinking on Different Approaches

By Academic Wizard Blog

Critical Thinking on Different Approaches

The essay is 100 points and is 25% of your final grade. This assignment is meant to test your ability to
explain ethics more in-depth and to show your own critical thinking on different approaches to ethics.
This must be a new essay written specifically for this class by you individually. You need approval from
your instructor before using part or all of an essay that was submitted for another class.

Topic: Pick any two out of the following ethical theories: Ethical egoism, utilitarianism, Kant’s
deontology, Aristotle’s virtue ethics, and Held’s care ethics. First, give you own cohesive summary of
each of the two theories you chose to focus on. Second, discuss what you see as the comparative
strengths and weaknesses of each theory and give your own argument for which is a better approach to
ethics and why (or why both are equally good or bad, etc.).
Summary: You must summarize each of the two theories you are discussing in about a paragraph each
(or two each if necessary),. For this assignment your summary should not give any judgment of each
theory but simply present a neutral explanation of its main points (any evaluation should be in your
analysis)., Your summary must be mostly in your own words you can and should use key terms and
limited use of direct quotes is helpful but you cannot just copy the text notes or other sources.,
Analysis: You must discuss and explain what you see as the strengths and weaknesses of each theory and
give your own argument for which theory is better and why. ,This portion should not just repeat the
strengths and weaknesses given in the text and notes or outside sources you must focus mainly on your
own clearly given analysis and your own rationally supported argument., You do not have to argue that
one theory is better than the other, as long as you have a clear conclusion that you argue for.
Example Topic: Compare utilitarianism and deontology. First, summarize the main points of each theory.
Then, give the strengths and weaknesses of each theory, and end with your own clear argument for which
is a better approach to morality and why.
Setup: Your essay will have two main parts: first, a relevant summary of course material. Secondly, your
own critical analysis or argument regarding the theories you are addressing. You must have both parts,
and they should be roughly equal in length. In addition to those two main parts, your paper should further
begin with a one-paragraph introduction (including a thesis statement) and end with a one-paragraph
conclusion. Again, this must be a new paper written specifically for this course by you individually; you

Length and Format: Your essay must be no less than 1000 words and should not be more than 1500
words. Critical Thinking on Different Approaches It should be 12” Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with 1” margins on all sides. Any essay
written below the minimum length will receive a lower grade (you may go beyond the upper word limit,

may use the assigned reading, your notes from lecture, or the online course notes for this, or any
combination of the above.

on this assignment, as this assignment is meant to test your own writing, understanding, and critical
thinking. Very limited use of AI may be allowed but counts as an outside source and must be
properly cited; this includes a works cited entry, indicating all places in your writing where you
took information from AI, and using quotation marks when copying text directly.
Remember, anything that is not your own thinking or idea must be properly referenced! Proper citation

each source at the end of the essay (a works cited list). Any use of a source that is not cited constitutes
plagiarism. Direct word-for-word copying from a source without use of both quotation marks and source
citation is also plagiarism. Plagiarism may result in a 0 on this assignment.
