Sustainability practices are done all over the world to try to improve people’s lives for the better. Well that was the case with a Philadelphian girl name Alyssa Ramos-Reynoso. Alyssa was homeless for about three years, staying over friends house and having to sleep down in the subway. She didn’t have the support system she needed and she did everything for herself. Eventually she graduated from Arcadia University in 2013.

1.) Why do you believe the RES Hawk Experience and the learning goals: Well-Being, Identity, Inclusive Communities, Take Action and Global Context are important to our residential community? All those attributes and experiences are skills that people need to develop, live, and used in their everyday life. When these certain skills are mastered I believe that the community itself can take on any challenge that comes in their way. 2.)
In the last years, Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, has suffer a huge environmental impact. Decades before, this was smaller, but by the time has been passing, it has increased in an exaggerated way. This community has been affected with a lot of things like pollution, desertification, deforestation, etc. Air pollution has been a great impact on the planet, this has incremented due to the usage of cars.

SHOW CONNECTION Jon Kurht’s article “When helping doesn't help” is a personal narrative discussing Kurht’s experience managing a homeless shelter, and discussing the hardships and complications that come with helping the homeless. Kuhrt notably states that shelters “actually bred further cynicism and depression in those young people because many were ashamed of what they were doing - they knew they were profiting from the naivety and kindness of others.” Logos can be found within the reasoning and conclusions found by Kurht.

Hurley & Treacy (1993) would argue that the focus should be on consciousness raising and collective action, in an effort to bring about societal change.

The main way that we do this is through our consumption, primarily our food consumption. Both of my parents and I are vegetarians, and my younger sister is vegan. We try to be environmentally conscious through our food consumption choices by not eating meat, and, in the case of my sister, any animal products at all. Our amount of financial privilege allows us to make these choices, as we can afford alternative options. Additionally, my family does participate in the “organic food movement”: we tend to buy organic foods and shop at grocery stores that seem to be more environmentally friendly such as Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s.

Introduction Person-in-Environment Framework In our practice as social workers, we are urged to view and understand human behavior as a set of complex interactions between individuals and their environment. This is known as the person-in-environment framework. This framework encourages us to acknowledge the influence of environment on our lives and provides a beneficial framework to think about and understand human behavior (Hutchinson, 2017). Understanding our work from this perspective allows us to approach our clients from a multi-dimensional stance, taking into consideration how various factors, including but not limited to, race, class, age and gender create individual identity and shapes an individual’s experience in the context of
