Preparing and training for a mission have always been essential when a unit gears up for a conflict. However, sometimes failures teach more valuable lessons that even the best preparation and training can provide. This paper will explore the Vietnam battlefield in late 1966 and discuss the failures when fighting in unfamiliar territory, inability to use means of communication and loss of command and control. The 196th Light Infantry Brigade (LIB) is one case study that demonstrates several factors contributing to the overall outcome of their mission in Vietnam.
The nurse can use family systems theory and assess Susie's and Mrs. Jones. Assess what is the particular living situation of Susie’s family and what influence Mrs. Jones would have if she were to move in. Particular values from each individual would be assessed and addressed as well as any cultural needs. Family developmental theory involves the individual's growth of responsibilities during family development. Each member in the house will have different roles & responsibilities, now the Mrs. Jones is moving in and it will affect Susie the most because she is now responsible for her mother as a primary care giver.
BHS 3053 Family Dynamics Final Examination During this final examination I will answer various questions and scenarios to the best on my ability using the textbook and other sources as a reference. I will be starting with question two and followed by four, five and seven for my final examination. (2) Imagine that you receive a phone call from the principal of your teenager’s school. The principal informs you that your teen has been identified as one of a group of students involved in the cyber bullying of another student.
During the Gilded Age, many fortunes were made by the railroad system. The increased construction of railroads provided the transportation of people, supplies, and trading goods. The movement of people from the east to the west allowed for increased populations and the spread of their culture. The railroad system provided a service that could quickly and cheaply move supplies across America. The Manifest Destiny was also fueled by the railroad system in the sense that Americans felt it was their duty to spread the knowledge and teach other races.
A course such as this one is a source of collegiality; an atmosphere where students are able to collaborate, share ideas, and further one another’s understanding. This class not only encourages frequent discussion, but implements into the daily routine, allowing students to speak, listen, and learn. The Human Event promotes discussion, providing students with the opportunity to cultivate their own ideas into words and communicate these original interpretations clearly and effectively. This opportunity doesn’t just benefit the speaker, but also the listeners. When new ideas are shared, the group as a whole can advance their understanding.
The purpose of this paper is to discuss four types of family approaches and provide examples of how to implement appropriate nursing interventions. The four types of family approaches discussed are family as context, as client, as a system, and as a component of society. Each type of family approach is defined and described in detail. An example from my personal experience for each type of family approach discussed is provided to augment the topic. The conclusion provides an overview of the papers contents and identifies the main points discussed to result with improved awareness of how to care for the family as a unit in nursing.
Family structure talks about family arrangement and composition which includes the roles and interactions (Edelman, 2014). According to Minuchin (2012), the family structural theory emphasis on the important of the family structure and its changes that occurs and how the individuals in the family relate collectively over time to put up and accept each other. Minuchin says further that a well-functioning family will choose how to solve and handle the family experience with a positive outcome. The goal of a structural family is to express the strengths in each other in critical moments, and helping each other through it. Developmental theory is the methods used as the viewpoint of family tasking and development through phases of life (Edelman, 2014).
Bowen family systems theory is used for understanding both family emotional and relationship processes (Knauth, 2003). Kolbert, Crothers, and Field (2013) suggest that although there are few publications on Bowen family systems theory, it provides counsellors with a framework for clients, specifically with helping adolescents understand how their functioning and identity have been influenced by their family. Bowen’s differentiation of the self has been argued to be equivalent to identity, and an individual’s balance both togetherness and individuality within their family, family members are both borrowing and lending aspects of themselves between each other (Kolbert, Crothers, & Field, 2013). Bowen, (1978, p. 188) suggested that individuals
The Family Systems Theory Family systems theory is a framework for understanding families and their strengths and dysfunctions. The strengths identified among family relations can be used to help solve existing problems. The same applies with problems identified. The family system theory is based on Bowen’s theory which argues that people cannot leave independent of each other’s network of relationships. People within a family are connected emotionally, which affects their overall well being and social relations and behaviour.
Family theories have been used throughout the history of nursing to help guide patient care and provide the best patient outcomes. Certain theories may be more applicable to the specific patient encounter; however, each theory has benefits and drawbacks to their use. The purpose of this paper is to examine two selected theories, comparing their strengths and weaknesses. I will also discuss a theoretical family in relation to one theory, and how that theory can be best integrated into the care provided by an Advanced Practice Nurse (APN). Description of Theories
From this scenario, I have learned about systems theory as well as other psychological theories such attachment theory. Firstly, based on my research on “Family Systems Theory “(Murray B.) family systems theory suggest that an individual, in this case, Sinead, cannot be understood as an individual alone but instead as part of a family as a family is an emotional unit. Families in every aspect are systems of interdependent and interrelated individuals that cannot be understood if a single person is isolated and examined. Each member in the family, has a specific role to play and a set of rules in which they must follow. Maintaining a certain system in the family may lead to balance in the family but also to huge dysfunction.
This essay discusses how the family is viewed by two different sociological perspectives- functionalism and conflict theory. Firstly, ‘family’ is defined. Secondly, the main ideas of functionalism will be discussed followed by how this theory perceives the family. The main ideas of Conflict Theory will then be examined and how conflict theorists perceive the family.
This resulted in my acquisition of methods and approaches I would like to maintain with my students. To start off, a teacher is not defined by being a person that keeps control of a classroom and recites information. A teacher is a friend, a parental figure, a role model, a confidant and a good listener just as much as he or she is a good speaker. The teachers observed would simply ask a question relating to the students’ opinions or lives and based on these answers they would introduce or explain any concept or linguistic feature. Students are egocentric by nature and relate new ideas to themselves.
Systems theory Systems theory mainly describes the human behaviour in terms of complex systems. It is based on the idea that an effective system is based on individual needs, rewards, expectations, and attributes of the people living in the system. According to this theory, families, couples, and organization members are directly involved in resolving a problem even if it is an individual issue. System, ecological, and network theory are all traditions in social work that can be identified within the system theory. System theory argues that the whole is something different to the amount of the detached parts.
I believe in the student centered approach to teaching. This model has proven to be more effective than the teacher center model. The teacher acts as the facilitator. The student and teacher need to learn what works together. The curriculum should be based on the specific students in the class and the activity that is going on at the time.
