The Positive Psychology for Business course covered well-being, flourishing, and striving for individuals and organizations. You can integrate these topics for the final project and visually represent your understanding.
As you create your vision, consider your journey.
Maybe you have imagined yourself as the hero or heroine in movies such as The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, or a movie with a straightforward mythical journey. Compare your journey to the hero or heroine in your chosen film.
Alternatively, you have chosen to dive into your own life. What strengths did you notice emerging as valuable tools for your journey? Did you see any shifts? Did anything change in your understanding or self-awareness of yourself from the Personality and Motivation module?
Throughout the quarter, consider how each module contributed to your journey. Summarize any changes during your journey and note how you have grown. Your final vision should be a holistic representation of your understanding of the course material and how it relates to your journey.

Paper #2
Viewing literature through a particular “lens” or interpretive frame often serves to provide deeper insight into the literary text. To that end, I am asking that you discuss one of the three short stories we’ve read (Machado’s “The Husband Stitch”, Le Guin’s “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas”, and Jemisin’s “The Ones Who Stay and Fight”) in relation to one of the framing texts listed below. How does the framing text deepen or shift your understanding of what Machado, Le Guin, or Jemisin are examining in their work?
Possible Pairings:

Utopia: “Post-Utopia: The Long View” by David Konstan. Is Le Guin’s Omelas OR Jemisin’s Um-Helat a utopia? Why or why not? (Only choose one short story to discuss here – EITHER “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” OR “The Ones Who Stay and Fight”.)
Afrofuturism: “Afrofuturism: The World of Black Sci-Fi and Fantasy Culture. Chapter One: Evolution of a Space Cadet” by Ytasha Womack. (pp.3 – 25). Gipson. How is “The Ones Who Stay and Fight” an example of Afrofuturism?
Urban Legends: “Modern Legends and Rumor Theory” by Patrick B. Mullen. How does Machado use urban legends and folklore in her story “The Husband Stitch?”
Instructions:
1) Your essay should open with your thesis, which should be a strong critical argument that goes beyond surface-level observations. You are presenting an ARGUMENT that answers the question paired with the framing text above. Introduce the texts the paper will analyze – which authors and written works are you going to discuss in your paper?
*Tip 1: Identify the texts (titles and authors) you are analyzing and explain the argument you’re in this piece. Make sure the impact or consequences of your argument are clear to your readers. Be careful to avoid generalizations!

2) The following body paragraphs (at least 3!) should analyze specific passages from your chosen texts to support your argument.
*Tip 2: Analyze, don’t summarize! Provide enough context that the quotes make sense, but make sure to discuss why this quote relates to your thesis. Make points throughout the paper that relate to your argument using keywords from your opening paragraph.

3) You will need to incorporate direct quotations from the texts you analyze. These quotes MUST follow MLA citation style. For information on citations, you can use the MLA Cheat Sheet on Blackboard or visit the Purdue OWL (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/).
*Tip 3: Do not allow quotations to overwhelm your essay! For any direct quotation you include, make sure to write an ANALYSIS of the passage that is roughly double the length of the quotation itself.

4) A Works Cited page is required. Please consult the MLA Cheat Sheet or the Purdue OWL for instructions and formatting.
*The Works Cited page is NOT included in your word minimum.

5) Your essay should be no less than 1000 words long. Double space, use 12-point Times New Roman font. Be sure to include a header with your name, class section, and date, and don’t forget to include page numbers. Proofread your essay paying attention to sentence mechanics, consistent syntax, style, and grammar.

The Dopamine Pathway

In this unit you were introduced to the mesolimbic dopamine pathway and how the dopamine pathway is involved in behavioral motivation and reward.

For this discussion, you will need to find an article discussing the role of the dopamine pathway in the regulation of behavior.

2. What role does the dopamine pathway play in emotion?
3. How do you think knowledge of the dopamine pathway could be used to help someone with a problem involving compulsive behavior?

What is your favorite contemporary song (1950s-the present) and explain why it is your favorite song.
This assignment focus on a favorite contemporary song. It doesn’t have to be rock ‘n’ roll. Almost all
modern music is fine: rock ‘n’ roll, country, contemporary Christian, rap, hip-hop, etc. because it all
wouldn’t exist today without what happened in the 1950s. Should be in two paragraphs.

Overview directions: Read the Small Medium Business case- Rock Solid Industrial Parts in detail and prepare a case analysis on a digital transformation for the company. Detailed directions are uploaded in. Please be sure to read thoroughly, as the professor is very detail oriented. I have alredy attached an outline that I created, you can follow along with that outline and fill it in.

Additional notes/ instructions:
– Please first read the case “SMB case- Rock Solid Industrial Parts” many times so you have a THOROUGH understanding of the case. The professor is extremely detailed in his directions.
– I have included my essay outline attached as well. Please use this as an outline for the case study essay. Just make sure to fix the formatting according to the guidance and example file.
– Pay close attention to page 7 of the SMB case- there are specific questions and topics that need to be addressed in the written case
– PS this is an information design choice.
– The file titled “Written Case Analysis Expectations and Guidelines is important! It shows the exact format the professor wants the case in including citations, endnotes, titles, images, etc Please read it carefully and follow those guidelines!
– Citations and sources are one of the most important factors in determining the grade for this paper. Professor has stated in his words “I can tell by the citations what the grade of a paper will be. Do not bullshit because I can tell.” Please make sure to use reliable sources
– I have a very rough draft of the intro and sales portion, please edit and revise heavily.
– Do not include CRM name or specific software in the processes section. I would like to use Zoho for most of the software, but it should not be listed as a solution until the software component of the paper. Make sure to be extremely detailed in that part, and chunk appropriately. Each department solution should have its own paragraph in software. And as needed in hardware.
– In total the whole paper should be about 15 pages long. With the cover and my sales portion already accounted for, I will need 12 pages written, not including citations. Thank you so much! Please let me know if you have any questions at all.
