Ashford University Theories of Personality Discussion

0 comments

I need help with three short class discussions. 200 words each. I will send screenshots to chosen 

 WEEK 1: Module engagement activity (Forum discussion)I would like to welcome you to the forum discussion platform. This is a great platform to learn from each other, to engage and connect and makes online learning fun! Please familiarize yourself with the class communication policy uploaded under module overview before you participate in this forum.Before I introduce the topic for discussion, I would like to just emphasize what the aim of the discussion forum is:The aim is to provide you the opportunity to engage and discuss the topic provided. Most, students write a mini assignment or post at the last minute. I want to encourage you to post early enough in the week (if possible) and then react (argue/question/justify/debate/defend) to other participant’s reactions as the week progress. A “discussion” is to contemplate various arguments and opinions (so to speak). A mere summary of facts/knowledge listed does not constitute a “discussion”.So let’s kick it off!I would like to hear what your thoughts are on the following:1)      Go to your module outline and on page 3 you will find a link under the prescribed resource: “Who are you really? The puzzle of personality”. Click on the link and watch the video2)      Submit a reflection on the following topic: “What is personality?”  (250-400 words max)Don’t stress about your definition or description being ‘perfect’. This is your first class in the module and I want to engage with where you are starting in this module. You will learn a lot during this module and will have the opportunity to make changes and alterations to your description at the end of the term ?               Add examples to your definition or description               Add references to your piece. 

Week 2 1) Read the prescribed reading found in your module outline     Van Der Merwe, K., Ntinda, K. & Mpofu, E. (2016). African perspectives of personality psychology. In L.J. Nicholas, (Ed.). Personality psychology. Oxford University Press Southern AfricaDiscuss how important world views are in the ways people are understood and which personal characteristics are emphasised?Make use of the information in the article to discuss the topic and share your own experience :)Ready, set and go!

Module engagement activity: WEEK 3 (Voice note)I would like to invite you to integrate the knowledge of the structure of personality: the id, ego and the superego and provide an example of how it plays out in your day-to-day life. You can share any example you feel comfortable with – there is no such thing as a silly example. I want to see if you can implement the theory into practice. We are here to connect, support and learn from each other!
