Title: Understanding Trauma and Supporting Refugee Youth: Lessons from a Survivor’s Story
Please watch the TED talk below, and be aware that a refugee is sharing her story from surviving a horrible trauma.
For this final discussion, I would like you to do two things.
1.) First, identify one concept with relation to trauma and mental health that we have engaged with at some point this semester. It can be from this week, or from the first week. Explain why you thought of the concept you did and describe it.
2.) Second, consider what we have learned about refugees today, and the message of this powerful woman. If you were to be placed in a situation where you were helping refugee youth to cope with the changes in their lives, what are some things you might focus on? Where might you start? -
“The Power and Personal Relevance of Justification by Faith”
Description
The doctrine of justification by faith is for many Christians the heart of the gospel and center of theology. Due to its importance to the church, it is important that we understand and internalize why it has been such good news to so many. Therefore, you are to write a 4-5 page (double-spaced) paper answering two questions: (1) What is the doctrine of justification? (~1.5 pages) (2) What does it mean to me personally? Your job is to summarize the Bible’s teaching on justification (OT and NT) and explain how this does or should affect your everyday life, studies, vocation, relationships, self-image, etc. (~2.5 pages). Be thoughtful and reflective on this second part, as most of your grade is determined by the quality of your personal reflections. Note: This is not a research paper, so don’t worry about secondary sources. However, if you don’t understand terms or ideas and decide to use secondary sources, make sure you cite them properly (using any recognized format [MLA, APA, etc.]).
Assessment
Score, based on grammar/style, adherence to project requirements, and thoughtfulness/creativity of the project.
