HUM 102 Module Three Short Answer Template
Complete this template by replacing the bracketed text with your responses.
1. Describe some perceptions and observations present in your
thinking regarding your chosen topic.
One might perceive mental health as a crucial aspect of overall well-being that affects
every individual differently. Observations could include noticing how mental health issues are
often stigmatized or misunderstood in society. Personal experiences, such as interactions with
friends or family members who have faced mental health challenges, might have shaped one's
perception. Aswell as exposure to media representations or educational materials on mental
health could also influence one’s perception on this topic.
You may already know about common mental health conditions like depression, anxiety,
and bipolar disorder. However, understanding the importance of mental health resources and
support systems that are broadly available could be life saving! From experience with mental
health battles myself and even recently a few months back losing a friend, these resources need
to be more known. Sometimes you can only do so much, but the all that you can do is better than
nothing. No matter now “big or small” the mental issue at stake is.
2. Explain your own biases regarding the topic you chose for your
project.
One might hold biases such as believing that mental health issues are less severe than
physical health issues.
Or another bias could be assuming that mental health problems are rare or only affect certain
groups of people. However, my personal bias is supportive and understanding towards mental
health. One might assume that people with mental health issues can always seek help easily or
that they should be able to manage their conditions without external support.
These assumptions can be dangerous and could influence your perception by making you less
empathetic towards those struggling with mental health issues.
Personally I agree with helping mental health sufferers and support addressing issues from
the smallest to the biggest.
