Assignment:Module 3: Perspective Taking: Ecological Systems and Life Course Model
Point Value:40 points
Format:-Name on paper
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
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). |
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:
For the Ecological System identify two different systems which are directly or indirectly involved in this problem:microsystem, mesostyem, exosystem, macrosystem, chronosytem.
OR
For the Life Course Model: identify two different events which may have contributed to this
specific problem: historical, economical, societal, psychological
2. Explain how these two events may have compounded to produce this outcome.
