Man drowned without help

Reflective Journal Exercise

Overview

A Reflective Journal is a way for you to synthesize material learned in the course module, it enables you to perceive the links between theory and practice more clearly, and it encourages deeper thought into what you did, how you did it, and why you did it. It requires one to reflect on a personal experience for the purpose of self-awareness and professional growth. The benefits of Reflective Journaling include:

  • Critical Thinking Skill Development
  • Synthesis of Classroom and Clinical Knowledge
  • Self-Awareness
  • Professional Growth and Promotion of Professional Behaviors 
  • Shift of Focus away from Self
  • Awareness of Emotional Responses, Personal Biases, and Beliefs

Instructions

Being able to apply concepts you learn will deepen your understanding of psychology. These application activities allow you to practice this skill to maximize your understanding of the content in the modules. Please provide a 250-500 word reflective response using Microsoft Word. 

Writing Prompt

On July 9th, 2017, in Florida a 31-year old man drowned while a group of teens stood by and videotaped his struggle. The teens posted the video to social media where you could hear them laughing. The man, Jamel Dunn died without help from these or any bystanders.

Please answer these questions:

  • How do the people around us influence our behavior and emotional development?
  • How does our behavior change in different settings or situations?
  • Why didn’t the people who saw him struggling in the water call for help? Would you have called for help?
  • Was it because of their personalities (i.e., Were they mean people? Did they enjoy seeing Jamel suffer?) or was it because of the situation (i.e., Were they actually unable to swim out to help him?)
  • Did the fact that they were with friends change how they were individually thinking? When you are with a group of your friends does that change your thought process?
