As described in the module associated with this Anchored/Key Assignment, please engage in an immersive learning experience by “plunging” into a culture that is different from your own, and is not the same as the culture used for Cultural Plunge 1. Please complete a 3 page paper describing your plunge, what you experienced, what you learned, and how this learning is relevant to you as an emerging counselor who will be working with a range of clients in an increasingly diverse society and profession. The paper should be typed, double-spaced, and written in APA style.

1. Select a particular type of character organization we reviewed (hysterical, masochistic, obsessive-compulsive). What are the central issues with respect to drive processes and or object relations and ego functions. What are major defenses used? What are some of the issues that come up in treatment?

2. What does it mean to say we live in a therapeutic society? Where does it come from and how is it different than pre-therapeutic societies? What messages does such a society give us about our emotions? What are the strengths/weaknesses of such a society?

3. According to Rogoff, individualist societies, such as those in the West, create individualism in subtle practices that reinforce our independence and autonomy. Give an example of two such practices as described by Rogoff. How might they appear different in a more collectivist society? How might developmental norms be different in collectivist societies?

Team

In order to write this exam, you may only use the course e-text and whatever is found under Modules. You must avoid all outside sources, including websites and internet encyclopedias. You must also avoid using A.I. programs.

By all means draw upon the course materials: but cite them every time you take information (author, pg…). And if you take entire phrases or sentences from these sources, place these phrases or sentences in quotation marks (…), in addition to citing the text.

The religions we have learned so far include Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Taoism.

Answer only two out of the following three questions (you will not get extra credit by answering all three). You should answer with no more than a few paragraphs for each. I will not count the number of words, but I will be grading you on: 1) how well you grasp the concepts, and 2) how much thought and reflection you put into your answers. So, answer each question as richly as possible.

Please include both of your answers in a single Word Document, and upload it Sunday, February 22nd, before midnight. Each is worth 50 points.

Question 1:

In casual discussions about religion, many of us encounter someone who claims that all faiths focus upon a God. In this course, we examined two religions which explicitly reject the idea of a creator deity: Buddhism and Jainism. Choose one or both of these religions, and outline what the followers of this religion see as the focus of their spiritual lives. You may want to Include the ideas of samsara and karma in your answer (which pertain to both religions). You will definitely want to describe the importance of liberation from rebirth if you choose Jainism, and the similar concept of nirvana if you choose to outline Buddhism. In addition, please answer the following questions: Has learning about such non-theistic religions in this course altered your understanding and appreciation of religion? Even those raised within one of these faiths may have an opinion about this.

Question 2:

In the first week of this course we learned of a distinction between transcendent and immanent ideas of the divine. A god that is depicted as transcendent is beyond or above nature, while an ultimate reality that is depicted as immanent is within or underlying nature. It is often proposed that God, as understood within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, is depicted as mostly transcendent (although we will see that the mystics of these religions often provide an exception to this). But the concept of Brahman from the Hindu Upanishads and the Tao from Taoism are radically immanent. Choose either the Upanishads (from Hinduism) or Taoism. First, describe, to the best of your ability, this religions interpretation of the divine. Include in your description how this divine or ultimate reality is found within, or identified with, all of nature. I addition, answer the following questions: Have you ever thought of the divine in this kind of fashion? Do you think an immanent picture of the divine is preferable to a transcendent one? Why or why not?

Question 3:

Each of the great world religions has something to say about human nature. We have seen that Hindu scriptures claim that the true self is not our physical body, but the atman or eternal soul, and that this soul is part of brahmanthe unchanging ground and source of all existence. On the other extreme, we have seen the Buddhist concept of anatta or no-self, which dismisses the concept of an eternal soul, or even an I or me that abides underneath the flux of our experiences. Taoism rejects the artificialities of society and prizes the natural personwhat the Tao Te Ching proudly describes as an uncarved block. Most forms of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam accept the idea of a soul, but one that is created by, and not identified, with God. There are mystics within the Abrahamic religions which claim otherwise, but this is something we will see later. Out of all of the pictures of human nature we have discussed so far, which do you agree with the most? That you happened to be born in a particular religion is not a good enough answer, I want you to think about this question! Explain your answer in as much detail as possible.
