Critically analyse and discuss how you, as a social worker, would work with and support Poppy at different ‘stages’ in her life.

SCWK5003 Human Growth and Development

Case Study – Poppy

This case study will require you to critically analyse and discuss how you, as a social worker, would work with and support Poppy at different ‘stages’ in her life. At each of these three ‘stages’ you need to consider:

  1. a) Human growth and development theories (minimum of two different theoretical approaches/models at each age). You will need to critically evaluate your chosen theories in relation to:
  • how they help you understand Poppy’s needs and wishes in order to make an accurate and useful assessment;
  • help you practice in an anti-discriminatory manner.
  1. b) How you would apply these theories within an ecological perspective, taking into account:
  • the socio-economic and cultural context;
  • other factors that may affect Poppy’s individual life course.
  1. c) How research and best practice models inform your choice and evaluation of theoretical approaches:
  • drawing on a wide range of literature, critically evaluate the theories you have chosen,
  • e. analyse (argue) why the application of the chosen theories would be beneficial in supporting Poppy at each age stage. Include consideration of the limitations/critiques of these theories also.

Stage 1 (age 5): Poppy is five years old and has been referred to social services by her school as she is withdrawn and her speech is very difficult to understand. She rarely interacts with the other children and they call her names as she is often dirty and smelly. Poppy often has ‘accidents’ and wets herself. School staff report that Poppy’s mother is very difficult to engage with and is rude to staff when they try and talk to her about her daughter. Poppy has also been seen with bruises to her face at times, which her mother says is because she is ‘clumsy’ and walks into things.

Part B (age 35): At the age of seven, Poppy was removed from her family and placed in foster care. She was assessed as having a mild learning disability. Poppy was disruptive in her foster care placement and her foster carers found her difficult to care for her. Poppy had seven foster care placements and left care at the age of 16. Poppy is now 35 years old. She has been referred to social services as she is pregnant and there are concerns that she will not be able to look after her child adequately. Poppy’s partner does not live with her. He is unsupportive of Poppy and on occasions violent towards her. This is Poppy’s fourth pregnancy, the previous three children all having been taken into care.

Part C (age 68): Poppy has become a heavy drinker and has early onset dementia. She is living in sheltered accommodation and staff report that she is neglecting herself, forgetting to eat, dressing inappropriately for the weather and is becoming aggressive towards her neighbours. Poppy wants to remain living where she is but says she is bullied by her neighbours.

Global Health Issue Final Paper – 350 pts/35%

You will write an elaborated argumentative research paper that focuses on convincing an audience of your pears that a specific solution that you propose and defend will help alleviate or substantially improve a specific global health problem. This paper must be at least 2,275 words to receive a passing grade. Minimum word count does not include notes, references, identifying information, title, etc.

Your paper should follow the following format for section headers:

  • Intro: Brief introduction that draws the reader in and leads them to a clear thesis and then preview of the paper. Your intro should be no more than 300 words.
  • Problem: A section dedicated to establishing/convincing the reader of the extent of the specific problem. Be sure to verbally paint a compelling picture of the issue. You also need to clearly demonstrate what structural/attitudinal barriers exist that prevent this problem from being fixed already. You may use LIMITED excerpts (no more than 200 words total) from your mini papers. This section must be substantial enough to make the reader agree with your argument that something needs to be done because the problem is substantial enough AND current initiatives are not sufficient. While the solution portion of your paper should be the longest, the problem section should be a close second in length.
  • Solution: Your proposal/solution for addressing the specific problem you identify in the previous section. In this section, be sure to provide evidence that will make a compelling case that the solution will overcome the existing structural/attitudinal barriers you identify previously. Remember, we need to think about logistics – we need to propose something that we can argue is reasonable to accomplish. In other words, don’t propose that we do something like completely end world hunger by making grocery stores in developed countries take out-of-date food and ship it to other countries that need it. You likely can’t end world hunger by doing that, and the logistics of something that massive would be impractical. This is why credible/reliable research that backs up your position is essential here. Demonstrate not just that we should do something, but that we more importantly can do something.
  • Refutation: There are always challenges or perhaps even common opposition to what someone suggests. In this section,identify reasons why a reasonable individual might be skeptical of your plan working. Then, argue why that skepticism is not warranted. Or, if the skepticism is warranted, argue what steps you’re going to take to reduce the likelihood of that concern becoming a reality.
  • Moving Forward: Finally, as a concluding section, provide the way forward. If you’ve convinced your reader/audience that your solution is good and workable, lay out the steps that need to be taken to set your solution in motion. This is meant to convince us that the logistics have been taking into consideration. As always, provide evidence to help justify the steps.

Each paper requires a minimum of 10 unique sources that you find. While you may use required course readings, they do not count as any of the 10. However, recommended readings are fair game.

This paper is due before 11:59 PM on the last Friday of the semester.

Meeting minimum standards in the syllabus does not guarantee an A, AB, or B on an assignment!!

All writing assignments must contain no more than one sentence of direct quotes per 325 words! Incorporate supporting information by paraphrasing and summarizing your sources.

The writer clearly demonstrates how the claims/main ideas discussed in the paper reinforce the thesis. Sufficient supporting information is used to substantiate the specific claims/main ideas presented. The writer clarifies how the supporting information justifies each claim/main idea and doesn’t leave it up to the reader to determine that connection. The writer is sufficiently persuasive while ethically qualifying the arguments based on available information. Claims/main ideas are organized to facilitate persuasive objectives and a cohesive flow. The author leaves the reader with a sense of finality at the end by synthesizing the thesis/objective and how they accomplished it.)
