Now that we have completed reading “Everyday Use,” let us revisit the earlier question:
How do I resolve my responsibilities to myself with those to my family members, school, community, and world?
Each of the main characters has demonstrated different ways of resolving her responsibilities. For this assignment, choose one of the prompts below and thoroughly develop a response to the questions. Be sure to write in paragraph format with topic sentences and supporting details. Do not forget to include specific examples from the text. You do not need to use direct quotations if you do not want to but do refer to specific scenes or events. Be sure to explain how those scenes or events support your claims.
The character of Maggie struggles to manage her responsibilities to herself with those to her mother and sister. Give an example from the story of a time when Maggie had difficulty doing what she wanted or what was best for her because she felt obligated to meet either her mother’s or sister’s needs before her own. What was the outcome? Did she meet her needs or her family’s? How would you have reacted/responded if you were Maggie? Why?
The character of Dee handles her responsibilities to herself, her family, her school, and her community differently than her mother and her sister. Give an example from the story that illustrates how Dee handles one of her responsibilities. What was the responsibility? How did she handle it? Did she meet her needs or her family’s? Would you have handled the responsibility differently? Why?
What is Mama’s philosophy when it comes to responsibilities to one’s self, family, school, community, etc? What led you to draw that conclusion? Please reference the text for support.
After you have shared your initial response, you will be able to see what your classmates have written. At that point, you will need to critique the content of at least two of your classmates’ postings.
Your response must include more information and critical thought than, “I like your posting,” or “I agree.” Remember to support your ideas with details, examples, and/or explanations. If you are having some difficulty generating a thoughtful reply, consider the following sentence starters:
One thing that you said that I hadn’t thought about was…
I feel this is important because…
It made me think about…
A piece of information that I would like to add is…
A question I have is…

Write an analytical research paper over one “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson.
.
Given that our values and core beliefs influence how we behave, it’s only natural that personal values can impact how a counselor theorizes and practices therapy. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is for students to examine the theoretical rationale for introspection and self-exploration into a counselor’s own values and beliefs, for the purpose of not “contaminating” the therapeutic treatment with a client. The following is a detailed checklist explaining this assignment and what is expected:
Students will begin with a formal introduction paragraph which should introduce the topic and communicate what will be discussed in the body of the paper.
Using at least 3 peer-reviewed, academic sources on the topic of introspection and self-exploration on the part of a counselor, students will provide a brief literature review. Students should look for journal articles discussing research about the benefits of counselors knowing themselves and having high levels of self-awareness. No website citations are permitted.
Following the review of research literature, students will provide responses to the following questions:
“My Values”: Briefly, what are 1-2 moral, religious, family, or professional values that you hold to quite closely?
Potential Blindspots: Knowing that the field of counseling will lead you to encountering diverse populations, could there be potential “blindspots” associated with holding very tightly to one’s personal values within the profession of counseling? Please give examples.
Client Encounters: From what you know about yourself, what do you suppose it would be like for you to encounter a client who believes very similarly to you? What do you think it will be like to encounter a client who has significantly different beliefs and values from you? How would you proceed ethically?
Faith Perspective: What does scripture communicate about how to engage with people who are different from us? Please cite at least 1 biblical passage or stories that speaks to this concept. Please provide some interpretation about what these passages mean for our daily lives.
Required subheadings: Introduction; Literature Review; My Values; Potential Blindspots; Client Encounters; Faith Perspective.
This essay should be 3-4 pages of text, plus a title page and reference page. No abstract needed.
This assignment should be in APA format.
Required: APA in-text citations for any information that you gather from outside sources.
Students are encouraged to closely review the APA publication manual prior to submission of the paper.
