Memories can also be related to very pleasant and treasured experiences as well. As we continue our special focus on the positive aspects of psychology – what can go right in people – we turn our attention to the notion of gratitude. Gratitude (which shares meanings with the words grace, mercy and thanks) has been described as “the propensity to appreciate and savor everyday events and experiences” (Bryant, 1989). Please view the video https://youtu.be/UtBsl3j0YRQ on the benefits of being grateful and then complete your first entry in the gratitude journal assignment.

When answering the question please put your own personal perspective on it– I don’t want to see “social-loafing” where a student reads another student’s post and writes their answer
Peer replies should be thoughtful, reflective, and respectful while prompting further discussion using content knowledge, critical thinking skills, questioning, and relevant information on the topic.
When you are responding to a question reference evidence from the textbook, lectures, videos, and assigned readings. Your grade depends on the specificity and adequate use of evidence.

Additional Guidelines for Forum Posts
Participate in online discussion as you would in a constructive, face-to-face discussion.
Postings should continue a conversation and provide avenues for additional continuous dialogue. Good posts should include:
What do you think?
What would you do?
What problem or challenge will follow the original question?
Do not post “I agree,” or similar statements without expanding the discussion with related examples, concepts, and experiences.
Stay on the topic of the thread- do no stray.
Indicate the main thought of your post in the subject line.
Do not just post a link to another document/source. Provide a synopsis/highlight of the linked reference. Incorporate quotations and include the reference and page numbers, etc.
Weave in your post related prior personal knowledge gained from experience, prior course work, discussions, or readings.
Do not post just to post. Don’t repeat what has already been stated. Be sure your post addresses a new opinion or thought not yet discussed.
Characteristics of quality online postings:
Substantial– posts should relate to the topic and provide information, opinions, or questions
Concise– messages should be clear. Lengthy messages do not get many replies.
Provocative–prompts others to reply or object.
Explanatory–explore, explain, or expand on a concept or connection.
Timely–Participate/read the discussion board regularly and reply in a timely fashion. Posting initial responses by Tuesday gives other students time to respond.
Logical–contains a clearly stated conclusion supported by premises, reason, and evidence.
Grammatical– good, clear, concise post free of typos and fragments (similar to the tone and manner you would use within a professional environment). Do no use all caps.
Finally, do not forget that online communication lacks verbal cues. Respond carefully, be clear, and keep your posts focused.

Here are the sources:
Judith Sargent Murray, “On Equality of the Sexes” (1790)
Mercy Otis Warren on Religion and Virtue (1805)
