7/17 A day in the life of a (ˍˍˍˍˍˍˍˍˍ)(Host: John)

Sesion one:
As the proverb goes, "Acquiring knowledge is a form of imitation." Without a doubt, we learn things through mimicking someone we adore. In recent years, there are more and more people willing to share their personal life on the internet by recording what they have done from early morning to late night and making it into a video. Plenty of them are presented in a quite detailed way. Please go to Youtube and type in the keywords on whatever life that you want to take a look at. Here are some of the examples that you can refer to.

1.Please introduce the video you chose and the reason why you are interested in taking a peek at it?
2. What makes you want to click and pick that specific video out among all the relevant ones in the first place? What sticks out at you in the video?? Why?? Do you think there’s a big difference between the life presented in the video and yours? What is it?
3. What’s the thing that you wanna know more about but isn’t presented in the video? After watching it, is there anything you learned that you wanna share? ( For example, the secret to a successful life or career, the tips to put time into greater use, the value that you appreciate, and so forth)
Sesion two:
The second discussion session will be going in a slightly different direction, which is based on several psychological research carried out on human emotions—envy, but I still tried to correlate it to session one and make it more thought-provoking.

When does Good Envy turn into Bad Envy? The Relationship between Benign and Malicious Envy

1. Envy has many different manifestations, one of which worth mentioning here is the attraction. According to what’s put in the research, it is possible to mistake what you are envious of about a person for attraction to him or her. Put simply, you might fall in love with what you want for yourself that someone might happen to have. It could be money, status, talent and so on. (1) Do you think part of the reason why those videos can draw your attention is envy? What is the envy of you( something wanted and desired by you) in the life portrayed in the video? (2) Have you ever encountered the similar experience of mistaking one feeling for another as mentioned above? What is it?Do you think it's normal as human? What do you think is the correlation between them?
2. Envy, in fact, comes in with two different types: benign envy and malicious envy. Malicious envy makes people want to tear down the person they envy and shift their focus on “the person” instead of the object owned, which might even bring about “schadenfreude” whereas benign envy involves a greater focus on something that you envy and motivation to achieve it for yourself, leading later on to self-improvement. (1) which one of them do you feel more often? What’s the possible factor which directs you in this course? Why there are some people who feel malicious envy more frequently than others do while some who feel benign envy under most circumstances? (2) What're your hypotheses on the factor that moderates the relationship between them?
3. It is possible that what we are envious of stems from what our parents instilled in us in the formative years, including something they envy. A case in point is prestigious panic which denotes that some people somehow wish for going to the Ivy League schools in the United States because that’s what their parents admire and envy. (1) Can you think of anything that you envy due to others’ influence? What is it? Did you find the intrinsic value in trying hard to live up to that expectation? (getting what you lack) Which one do you think it is (what you are envious of) — innate or acquired? Why?
