In class we did a priorities assignment in which you thought about your top 10 priorities when it comes to deciding on a graduate program. I would like you to look at that list and then research schools (pick one to write about) in which you are interested that fit with your priority list. Odds are that no one program or school will fit all of your priorities, but the critical factor is finding a school/program which fits your top 5 priorities. Also consider your qualities, what do you bring to the program – while you won’t write on this topic this week, we will incorporate it next week.

Assignment: Write a short paper (2-3 paragraphs) about which program/school you are interested in and how that school fits you and your priorities.

The purpose of this report is to provide a critique of a movie, song or other creative art form that deals with mental illness or addiction. Your critique should involve an application of the material you have learned in the course as well as a discussion of how this art form describes, sanctions and/or demonizes mental illness or addiction.

This report should be maximum 2000 words, double spaced, not including your title and reference pages. This file should be submitted in either PDF, DOC or DOCX format.  Your report should include the following information:

Introduction and Background – This is the objective, fact-based section of your report. Please include 2 different explanations for the causes of the disorder as you summarize the condition. One explanation should be biological (“nature”) while the other explanation should be environmental (“nurture”). It will be necessary that 2 scientific journal articles are included as part of your research and discussion to support these causes. With your research, you are expected to describe the causes, prevalence, symptoms and possible effective treatment for your chosen disorder.

Method and Reflection – Explain how you went about your research, the resources you used, and difficulties you encountered along the way. How did you overcome these difficulties?

Discussion – This is where you will be more subjective, integrating research to support your opinions. Within the arts, it is apparent that mental illness and addictions are not always accurately portrayed. You will begin your report with a background and introduction that supports the comparison of the realistic behaviours of the disorder versus how it is portrayed in your art form. Please include 2 different examples (e.g., movie scenes or parts in song) to support your answer.  How does this art form describe, sanction and/or demonize mental illness or addiction?

Conclusion – Provide a conclusion to your work. Restate why you choose your art form and summarize your key findings. What did you learn?

Reference Page – Create an APA reference page. Your art form, journal articles, and other course materials should be listed alphabetically by author.
