• Health and wellness

• Meditation and contemplation

• Stress and relaxation 2, You must demonstrate a logical argument about how these philosophies relate to your selected topic in our modern lifestyles. For example:

• How does a philosopher like Josef Pieper and his Ideas on leisure and happiness relate to the topic of stress and relaxation in our daily life? 3. The deliverable for this stage will be a basic outline of the project in which you will

• identify your chosen philosophy/philosopher and the topic question (stated as in 2. above) you wish to explore.

• You must submit this first part for approval by your professor. 

1. Write a brief (200-300 word) rationale for your choice and the main argument(s) you will make.

2. List at least 3 of the 6 additional sources you will use to support your argument(s).

It is important that you work on each stage as described, as it will keep you on track, and prowdevatuable feedback and guidance from the professor. 

As this is a project (and not a written essay) In which the ideas and arguments you are developing need to be integrated into a visual presentation, Part 3 will involve you seeking out online visual and/or aural examples to support and illustrate the key points/arguments you have made and ate continuing to develop from Part 2. Examples can include any print media you want to scan or find online and/or your own artwork or photography created for this specific purpose. o Ensure any media materials you incorporate, even if your own creation, are properly credited below or next to the image or clip. o In the case of these media images or clips, you do not have to cite them in your reference list - lust credit them in the presentation itself.
