Individual
Assignment: Module 6: Systems of Action
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:
A. 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).
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
B. 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.
· 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 examine assumptions, 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.
