watch the films “The Dhamma Brothers” and “My Octopus Teacher”.
An opening section where you offer your primary view of the construct of mindfulness in each documentary.
Choose a minimum of three specific events, circumstances, individual or societal situations in each documentary where you believe mindfulness is found. Each should include a brief description of the issue and the concept of mindfulness you have identified in that portion of the film, and include a time stamp where it is found in the film so I can access the section you are referencing. The time stamp should look like this: XX:XX
A compare and contrast section where you explore the difference in the “prisons” humans finds themselves in, whether controlled by others or self imposed.
What are those differences found in each film?
Are the humans in “The Dhamma Brothers” in more of an internal or external prison or both?
Is the human featured in “My Octopus Teacher” more free in all aspects or are there prison-like aspects in that world?
A conclusion section where you state your interpretation of the effectiveness of the film in exploring mindfulness as a construct.
To complete your effort, summarize your thoughts of this approach to consider the construct of mindfulness. Is this type of film a reasonable or desirable means of exploring mindfulness? What are the pros and cons? Could a fiction film have been equally or more effective than a documentary?

For this week’s discussion we will discuss the implications that ethics has on an organization and its culture. Read the Chapter on Ethics, and Organizational Culture (Champoux, 2017) as well as the Cohen and colleagues (2014) and Hartnell & Kinicki (2011) articles on morals and values in the workplace. The field of ethics permeates all facets of organizations and may influence the overall culture of the organization. After reading the information, determine your stance on how ethics filter the culture of an organization. Watch the video on making hard choices and determine what you would be willing to do or not do for your organization. Are the lines cut and dried or is there ambiguity when discussing ethical behavior in the workplace? Can you think of some examples in your own experience where ethical behavior impacted the culture of your organization?
Respond to the discussion questions: List and define the four major theories of organizational ethical behavior. Reflect on your work experience. Provide at least one example of one of the theories from your experience or from a scholarly article. What is organizational culture and how can it be created and/or changed?

Throughout your coursework and professional career, it is extremely important that you write in your own words. You will often be tasked with reading psychological materials and then to incorporate the content into a paper or other type of written or oral presentation. At times, the material you are reading might be quite technical, and it may be challenging for you to present these ideas in your own words. This is your opportunity to practice this important skill. Review the following websites to learn about summarizing: • Purdue Owl: Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing • Example of a Summary Instructions: For this assignment, you will: • Read the passage (below) from your textbook. • Think about the main ideas contained in the passage. • Make a list of four (4) main ideas contained in the passage. • In your own words, summarize the main ideas in paragraph form with a minimum of four (4) complete sentences. • Do not quote directly from the passage. Textbook Passage: To be human is to encounter difficulties and problems in life. A course in abnormal psychology dwells on human problems— many of them familiar. As a result, as you read this text, you may be prone to the medical student syndrome: reading about a disorder may lead you to suspect that you have the disorder or that a friend or relative has the disorder. This reaction to the study of abnormal behavior is common and important for you to recognize. Similarly, medical students reading about physical disorders sometimes begin to imagine that they have the illnesses they are studying. “DiarrheaFatigue? Trouble sleeping? That’s me!” In this way, a cluster of symptoms— no matter how mild or how briefly experienced—can lead some people to suspect that they are ill. Students who take a course that examines psychopathology are equally prone to believing that they have one or more of the mental disorders described in their text. The problem is compounded by easy access to the Internet where brief research on mental disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, or anxiety can produce a multitude of descriptors that seem to fit them. It is possible, of course, that some students do have an undiagnosed psychological disorder and would benefit from counseling or therapy. Most, however, are merely experiencing an exaggerated sense of their vulnerability to disorders. Two influences in particular may make us susceptible to imagining that we have a disorder. One is the universality of the human experience. All of us have experienced misfortunes in life. Depressed mood following the loss of a loved one or anxiety before giving a speech to a large audience are perfectly normal reactions. We can all remember and relate to feelings of fear, apprehension, unhappiness, or euphoria. In most cases, however, these feelings are normal reactions to life situations, not symptoms of illness. Summarize this paragraph in your own words and include the following reference citation for your textbook below your summary: Sue, D., Sue, D. W., Sue, S., & Sue, D. M. (2016). Understanding abnormal behavior (11th ed.). Requirements: • Incorporate all main ideas into your own words. • Use appropriate APA placement and style for in-text citations and the reference. • Complete your work in a Microsoft Word document.
