For this assessment you will develop a short (minimum 9, maximum 10 minute) audio-visual presentation on how a religion/spiritual tradition of your choice conceptualizes and practices wellbeing.
Your audio-visual will include:
1. An initial slide/audio identifying the religion/spiritual tradition you are exploring and briefly outlining the main aspects of this tradition (e.g. its origins, where it is practised and how widespread it is, whether it represents a particular sect/interpretation)
2. An outline of how this religion/spiritual tradition define(s) (there may be more than one definition) wellbeing/’a good life’ (this will draw on reputable sources i.e. not Wikipedia or websites but spiritual texts, published interpretations, and academic writing)
3. An outline of what beliefs and practices this religion/spiritual tradition sees as integral to wellbeing (this will draw on reputable sources i.e. not Wikipedia or websites but spiritual texts, published interpretations, and academic writing)
4. A brief analysis of which definitions, beliefs and practices of this religion/spiritual approach have been found in the research to be related to wellbeing (you may not find research on ‘Buddhist prayer’ or ‘Christian tithing’ and wellbeing, but you will find research on the general practices of prayer and giving for example)
5. A discussion of how this approach is similar to and/or different from your own spiritual/religious understanding of wellbeing
6. A slide with a list of references
You must use APA style for referencing, and provide correct in-text citations, on your slides as well as a complete reference list of those citations on your final slide.
In your presentation, you are welcome to use creative ways to present your findings – animation, images, music. You might also simply use PowerPoint which includes audio. This doesn’t have to be an epic masterpiece of filming. If you use photos to support your findings visually they must be source cited if not your own.
LENGTH: Your short film will be a minimum of 9 and a maximum of 10 minutes in length
SUBMISSION DETAILS: Please submit either your narrated/animated PowerPoint video directly into Moodle or submit a word document which includes the link to your film if you’ve uploaded it onto YouTube.
Moodle accepts files up to 100MB. If your file is larger than this, you will need to use the YouTube option. Please ensure you create the YouTube video as ‘unlisted’ rather than ‘private’.
You need to obtain a minimum grade of 50% for this assessment in order to pass the Unit.
