8-1 Discussion: Envisioning the Future

In this final discussion, look back on your experiences in the course and thoughtfully reflect on what you have learned.

Each discussion is meant to be a collaborative space for conversation in which to process the concepts within the course. To ensure an interesting and respectful discussion, you are encouraged to think creatively about your initial posts and build upon the points made by your peers. Discussing challenges that face our world often means investigating opinions and ideas different from your own. Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful towards your peers and instructor in your discussion post and replies.

Create one initial post and follow up with at least two response posts.

In your initial post, address the following:

1. How has your understanding of wellness been enhanced as a result of analyzing it through the four lenses?
2. What are the potential implications of current discussions about wellness for the future? You may consider any future you like, such as the future of your community or the future of humankind.
3. How do you believe the critical analysis skills learned in this course will support you going forward personally, academically, and/or professionally?
