Assignment:Module 3: Perspective Taking: Ecological Systems and Life Course Model

  • Assignment title
  • Typed in Times New Roman Font (12 point)
  • Double-spaced
  • APA:Use the APA format for citations within the paper and the reference list at the end of the paper
  • IN ADDITION – Include headings given within the body of the paper (as indicated below).

Directions:Write a paper which addresses the parts (A-D) written below.

Include the following headings within your paper to help guide your writing as well as to help the reader:

Definition of Health and Wellbeing

Problem

Alternative Perspectives

Ecological Systems

Life Course Model

  • Definition of Health and Wellbeing: Rewrite and/or synthesize your individual definition of health and wellbeing into one concise paragraph.Consider ideas from your group’s discussion and written assignment.
  • Problem: Select one of the case studies posted in Blackboard to complete the following sections. You will be using this case study in subsequent assignments.
  • Alternative Perspectives:
  • Select either the Ecological Systems or the Life Course Model to examine your case:Examine the context of the problem from the perspective taking approach.

NOTE:Remember to include the reference citations you used to build this definition.That is, cite the source within your paragraph (these are listed alphabetically) AND in the reference list at the end of the assignment. For example:

Health and wellbeing is defined as achieving full physical, emotional and intellectual functioning in which there is absence of disease or distress in any one of these human developmental areas (Apple, 2007; Ball, 2006; Cat, 1962; Doe, 1993; Smith & Jones, 2010).

  • Problem/Situation Description: Identify at one significant problem related to health and wellbeing in this case study.Write a brief paragraph which tells the reader “what is” the problem.
  • Rationale as to Why this is a Problem: Write about how this problem connects to your definition of health and wellbeing (1 paragraph).Indicate “what is missing” or “the gap” that indicates the situation you have described is a problem that needs to be addressed.For example, this might be written like the following paragraph:

For this paper, I have defined health and wellbeing as related to ‘full physical, emotional and intellectual functioning in which there is absence of disease or distress’ In this situation, therefore, full health and wellbeing is not being achieved, because the grandfather has suffered a stroke and is unable to function in physically, emotionally and mentally appropriate ways.Although the stroke is not happening at this moment, that is, it is absent (and this somewhat contradicts my definition of health and wellbeing) there are consequences that have occurred because of the stroke.This situation represents a problem, therefore, because there is a difference (a gap) between what the grandfather’s life was like before and what it is now as related to his health and wellbeing.

Two different perspectives are described in the case study.Write one paragraph for each perspective in which you respond to the following questions:

  • From whose point of view is this perspective?
  • What is justified or warranted from this perspective? Is there adequate evidence?If there are limits to this perspective, what are the limits?
  • What is assumed or implicit in this perspective that needs to be made explicit?
  • Overall, is this perspective reasonable? Explain your answer with a summary statement.

For the Ecological System identify two different systems which are directly or indirectly involved in this problem:microsystem, mesostyem, exosystem, macrosystem, chronosytem.

  • Identify the system and write a brief definition for each
  • Describe/explain how this system is related to the specific problem identified in this assignment for each system

OR

For the Life Course Model: identify two different events which may have contributed to this

specific problem: historical, economical, societal, psychological

  • Identify the event and write a brief definition for each

2. Explain how these two events may have compounded to produce this outcome.

Point Value:36 points

Format:

-Names on paper

  • Course # and date
  • Assignment title
  • Typed in Times New Roman Font (12 point)
  • Double-spaced
  • Headings given within the body of the paper (as indicated below).
  • APA format should be used for citations within the paper and the reference list

Directions:

  • Cumulative Writing:Copy/paste (and revise if needed) your individual assignment on assignment on ‘Perspective Taking: Ecological Systems and Life Course Model’ (from Module 3).
  • Systems of Action:Give at least three examples (for each type of action: technical, communicative and critical) that may be used to help resolve the problem described in your paper.Be future oriented:Think about what might be done to help resolve the problem — not what actions have already taken place already.

Be sure all of the following sections (with headings) are included:

Definition of Health and Wellbeing

Problem

Alternative Perspectives

Ecological Systems

Life Course Model

Add an additional heading:Systems of Action

  • Technical actions are those related to completing an immediate goal or making a product.
  • Communicative actions are those focused on achieving ‘deeper’ communication, that is, to achieve shared beliefs, mutual understanding, transmit culture or traditions.
  • Critical actions are those actions and/or ‘deeper’ questions which help to examineassumptions, beliefs, and attitudes.

NOTE:You may notice that some of these actions do “overlap” with one another (it is OK if they do).The point is to move our focus from technical actions only to the consideration of multiple forms of action that may be taken to best resolve a problem.
