The Island Article Paper Directions
This week you will also be working on your second written assignment. Your task will be to read the article entitled “The Island Where People Forget to Die” and then answer some questions about it. This article relates to health psychology and I do believe that the information it covers is meaningful and you can apply it to your life to achieve greater health and happiness. You will be turning in your typed answers on a word document or pdf file through Canvas (always submit through the assignments tab, do not email me your papers).
At first the cucumber was just fine, until she saw her buddy get a grape! This is a classic example of the type of relative deprivation that I was talking about in the clip above in action.
Below are two documents of the same exact article, “The Island Where People Forget to Die”, so you can use the format that works best for your computer.

Once you have finished reading the article linked above click the link below to watch a brief video clip on the island.
Once you have finished reading the article linked above and watching the video, open the file linked below and answer each of the questions on the document. Make sure to read the questions carefully because numerous students in the past have lost points on this assignment because answers were not fully complete according to the directions. It is usually obvious that some students have only skimmed the article or read only the first half of it and offer brief answers, while other students go beyond the minimum and clearly demonstrate that they read the whole article and reflected on it. Some of the important information in the article does not come until the second half of it. Take the time to prove that you read well and grasped the main points of the article and video and you will be rewarded with a high grade.
