Chapter 5 of your textbook sketches out two philosophies for understanding the human person: mind-body dualism and scientific materialism. Though based upon radically different premises, each of these philosophies can and has shaped the field of kinesiology.
Task: Review the tables on dualism (p. 135) and materialism (p. 145) in the professional setting. (These are useful for thinking about how abstract concepts can have concrete effects on practitioners in the field.)
List the career that you aspire to have at the top of a Word document.THE CAREER U WILL WRITE ABOUT IS PHYSICAL THERAPIST. Then, in a one-page reflection (double-spaced, one-inch margins, 12 pt., Times New Roman font) describe a scenario in which dualistic or materialistic thinking might appear in the professional setting. (If you have difficulty coming up with a scenario in the professional setting, it might be useful to run an online search. You can also use an example from the educational setting.)
