Target: Understanding perspective and how your perspective shapes your world.
Circle: Name a bizarre behavior that you have witnessed. How would you explain it?
Homework: Collect love definitions
Next Class: What if I could predict your grade for the semester based on this homework assignment? I will record a grade for you. How close do you think I can get?
Activity: How many different perspectives can we look at "LOVE" from? Partner up with someone your table then partner up with two from the other table. Pick someone to record responses. How many can you come up with? We will list these on the board.
Graphic Organizer: Perspective. Fill out sheet.
Connection between perspective and mental illness: Imagine you are famous, you are loved and adored by millions, your career is successful beyond your wildest dreams, you have a loving spouse, you have children that love you, you have beautiful houses, cars, boats and whatever else money can buy. How great would your life be? Would you want to live this life?
Why would he kill himself? What was his perspective? How could he see the world so bleakly? Remember, we all see the world through our own eyes. Mental illness changes our perspective in such dramatic fashion that even people who have the world in their hand can see the world in such dark terms that sometimes they can't go on.
Understanding the power of your own perspective: Why you see things the way you do. How you make sense of the world. How you interact with the world.
"Perception involves all the ways of becoming aware of things, people, happenings, or ideas. Judgement involves all the ways of coming to conclusions about what has been perceived. If people differ systematically in what they perceive and in how they reach conclusions, then it is only reasonable for them to differ correspondingly in their interest reactions, values, motivations and skills." -C.G. Jung
