PART ONE –Overview For the project in this course, you will examine a specific issue or event that is related to wellness and how it impacts individuals and society. You will demonstrate your ability to think critically, investigate, and communicate clearly. -For this assignment, you will finalize your choice of topic and begin to collect the required elements for your analysis. This assignment requires you to gather reliable evidence from varied sources and use them to introduce your topic effectively. All these elements will prepare you to complete the project, where you will need to use evidence to support your points. Completing this activity will result in a draft of the topic description section of your project. —Directions For this activity, you will write a short paper introducing a wellness topic of your choice. You may use the topic that you worked with in the previous activity or choose a new topic now that you have reflected further (for the last topic I used finances I would like to use EMOTIONAL WELLNESS for this paper). Then, if needed, visit the IDS 402 Library Guide for guidance on how to select and narrow a topic. If you are selecting a new topic, do some preliminary research to ensure that you can address each of the required elements of your project. Please remember that you will not be able to change your topic after the end of this module. You should begin to gather the sources you will integrate into your project. These sources will include two resources from the module resource sections of this course and two resources that you find through your own research using the Shapiro Library. It may be beneficial to identify more than the number of sources required for the project so that you can eventually choose the most useful and credible ones. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria: -Integrate reliable evidence from varied sources throughout your paper to support your analysis. -It is important to draw from a more diverse pool of perspectives from varied sources to support the analysis. This is different from the Citations and Attributions rubric criterion. -Reliable evidence from varied sources should be interwoven throughout the paper itself, while citing and attributing sources will be represented as APA in-text citations and a reference list at the end of your work. -You will be evaluated on both criteria. -Describe a social or global issue or event that is related to the issues of wellness. Include information such as the origin of the issue and what it is about. -What main points should you include about your topic? What other details are needed to ensure a thorough description? -Describe a population significant to your topic. Include information such as demographics, cultural practices, social identity, and key challenges. -Examples could include a population who is directly impacted by the topic, a group that works with those people directly impacted, or a group that has strong feelings about the topic. -Assess how society impacts the chosen issue or event. -What examples clearly illustrate how the larger global society has impacted the issue or event? -Explain your choice of general education interdisciplinary lens for analyzing your topic. -What made you choose one lens over the others? Was it an easy decision? Why or why not? -Construct a thesis statement that combines your topic, population, societal situation, and choice of general education interdisciplinary lens. -Your thesis statement should clearly and concisely state the relationships between your topic, population, cultural situation, and lens. It acts as a hypothesis proposing how these elements will work together during your critical analysis. –What to Submit Submit your short paper as a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA style. PART TWO THAT IS BASED ON PART ONE ABOVE -Overview For this activity, you will begin the critical analysis section of your project. This section will include assessing benefits, challenges, opportunities for change, and social practices. Completing this activity will result in a draft of the critical analysis section of your project. It also provides an opportunity to obtain valuable feedback from your instructor that you can incorporate into your project submission. -Directions In this activity, you will analyze your topic using the general education lens you chose in the previous module in order to determine how the topic has affected institutions. During your analysis, you will also describe an element related to your topic that could benefit from change and assess the benefits and challenges associated with addressing wellness. Finally, you will analyze how modern social practices have been impacted by wellness. Include diverse perspectives from varied sources to support your points. You should continue to gather the sources you will integrate into your project. These sources will include two resources from the module resource sections of this course and two resources that you find through your own research using the Shapiro Library. It may be beneficial to identify more than the number of sources required for the project so that you can eventually choose the most useful and credible ones. Look to the SNHU Shapiro Library for assistance in finding evidence and resources from outside the course. –You are not required to address each item below the rubric criteria, but you may use them to better understand the criteria and guide your thinking and writing. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria: -Integrate reliable evidence from varied sources throughout your paper to support your analysis. -It is important to draw from a more diverse pool of perspectives from varied sources to support the analysis. This is different from the Citations and Attributions rubric criterion. -Reliable evidence from varied sources should be interwoven throughout the paper itself, while citing and attributing sources will be represented as APA in-text citations and a reference list at the end of your work. -You will be evaluated on both criteria. -Analyze your chosen issue or event through one of the general education interdisciplinary lenses to determine its impact on various institutions. -Apply the perspective of the general education lens you chose in the previous module to your topic. Then determine how the topic might affect institutions such as politics, community, family, economy, education, or market-driven organizations. -Describe at least one specific element that could benefit from change within your topic. -Consider how your topic has been discussed and represented. What approaches could be more constructive? What could be done differently to encourage, promote, or transform your topic? This response is not simply your opinion but should be supported by reliable evidence. -Assess the benefit and challenges of addressing issues in wellness. -What may be the positive impact of critically analyzing wellness? Conversely, what are the more difficult aspects of addressing wellness? This part refers to wellness overall and is not specifically about your project topic. -Analyze how social practices have been shaped by issues and events in wellness in modern culture. -How have contemporary social practices been influenced by wellness? For example, consider practices such as communication, cultural expression, governance, or caregiving. -What to Submit Submit your short paper as a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.
