Family Relations

/in /by

Read Balswick, Fourth Edition, Part 7 (chapters 19 and 20) and answer the following questions. Single space acceptable, but leave a space between questions.

1. What do you think the authors mean by “the erosion of biblical truth” in their title of Chapter 19?

2. What is “modernity” and why is it challenging? What is the meaning of “post-modern?” Pages 339-341

3. Define and summarize the four dimensions of sociocultural life. Pages 342-343

4. Explain the dilemmas and false hopes that modernity often brings upon the family? Pages 346-352

5. Discuss whether and how a family might escape the bondage of commodities. Pages 352-359

6. Explain the possible reconstruction of community in relationship to family life. Pages 360-361

7. What is the importance of revitalized communication and consciousness? Pages 361-362

8. What support structures are helpful to ensure solid family life? Pages 363-369.

9.  Traditionally, most churches have taken a very hard stand on the subject of divorce and remarriage, even forbidding remarriage and denying membership to people with “tainted” marital backgrounds. In a previous chapter (pages 311-312) the authors make a statement on the Christian approach to divorce. Discuss how Christians and churches as communities should respond to divorce, both among their members and those seeking membership. (This answer should be longer than the others)

SWK103- SOCIAL WORK & DEVIANT BEHAVIOR

/in /by

Topic: Differential Association Theory 

Lesson 5A Discussion

Application of Theory: Provide two examples to your classmates on how the Differential Association Theory explains deviant behavior. There is no minimum length, just be sure to provide two examples with explanations.

Lesson 5B Discussion

Differential Association Theory argues that people learn how to engage in criminal behavior in the same way (using the same mechanisms) as they learn how to do anything else in life. I want you to think about how you came to have the morals and values that you have today. Think about the person you are today, and then think about how you came to these morals and values. What people/groups influenced you to act in deviant ways and what people/groups influenced you to act in non-deviant ways. How did they achieve this? Discuss what each group considered normal and deviant and how you learned from them.

This discussion should be a minimum of 1 page (250 words).

Lesson 6 Assignment

Discuss the criticism against Differential Association Theory. In your opinion, explain whether or not you believe they are valid (Material is found in Lesson 5 Readings and Videos component). The minimum length expectation is 1-2 pages. APA format is required.

Living A Feminist Live

/in /by

 The reading this week is Chapter 6 and Conclusions 1 & 2 in Living a Feminist Life by Sara Ahmed. Your responses to the reading are due 10pm on wednesday

there are two readings as attached below. By Sara Ahmed

NB: Reflect on the two readings in alignment with  Intersectionality portrayed as understandings of social locations as central to peoples lived experiences as influenced by the interaction of categories such as gender, class, race, ethnicity, sexuality, age, disability/ability, migration status, etc. It further recognises that these interactions are situated within interconnected power structures including government, media and economics. Intersectionality, therefore theorises how forms of oppression and privilege such as patriarchy, racism, colonialism, homophobia and ableism arise. Intersectionality foregrounds the achievement of social justice through social processes, redistribution and equity.

Family Relations

/in /by

Student should begin early in the course by reading pages 11-38 of THE BLESSING by Gary Smalley and John Trent. This will provide an understanding of the concept of “a blessing” and how such a technique can be employed in the context of family enrichment. Then during this preliminary reading, the student will then select an individual (more than one is acceptable, but not recommended) to be the recipient of “the blessing.”

Over the course of several weeks, the student will read further and make practical application of the elements of the Blessing, making notes along the way. The objective is to employ the various elements of “the blessing” as described by the authors in such a way as to experience new levels of awareness of the needs and feelings of others and to enhance the relationship with the selected family member(s). Ideally, this should be a healthy and positive experience for both the student and the recipient(s) of the student’s blessing.

Assignment 8 consists of a report (5 to 6 pages, double spaced) of your personal application of and experience with “the Blessing” as a project of this course. Identify the individual(s) you selected to be the recipient(s) of your blessing, and how you went about applying each element for this assignment. Discuss whether anything about the project was negative or uncomfortable, and what about it was positive and beneficial. Also relate how you plan to adapt it to your own family life in the future.

Please note: This is not a book report. It is a discussion of your own practical application of the principles of the Blessing, planned and carried out specifically for this course assignment.
