Critical thinking

Step 1: Consider the scenario below:

A recent scandal has found your town’s mayor in a serious predicament. Videos have been released that show the mayor donating a large sum of money to an unspecified local charity. Unfortunately, this donation was made using the campaign contributions of his constituents. The townspeople are appalled to see their contributions being mishandled and are calling for the mayor’s resignation. In his defense, the mayor has emphasized the importance of this charity’s success to the improvement of area schools. The mayor has a long and distinguished record of helping children in need, and supporters fear this scandal may force him out of a position where he can stimulate real change.

 

Step 2: Respond with your responses to the following questions on the discussion board:

How do you define critical thinking?

What critical thinking strategies can be used to evaluate this scenario?

Do you agree with the mayor’s justifications for misusing campaign contributions? Why or why not?

Individual Response: Your response should be a minimum of 300 words and include APA citations and references, if applicable, to support quotes, statements, claims, and/or utilized sources.

How does this case illustrate the interconnections among the biological, psychological, and societal systems? Given what you know about the assumptions of the psychosocial theory, how might Rose’s stage of development influence her perceptions of the situation and her approach to coping with this conflict?

/in /by

Rose is a 60-year-old woman who has been having serious attacks of dizziness and shortness of breath as Thanksgiving approaches. Rose is usually active and energetic. In the past, she looked forward to entertaining her family, which used to include three married daughters, one married son, their spouses, and their children. However, her son has recently been divorced. Feelings between him and his ex-wife are bitter. Any attempts on Rose’s part to communicate with her former daughter-in-law or granddaughter are met with an outburst of hostility from her son. Although Rose is very fond of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, she knows that she cannot invite them to the family gathering without stirring up intense conflict with her son. Rose’s daughter suggests having dinner at one of their homes to prevent the conflict. They hope the solution will take some of the pressure off their mother and ease the attacks. Rose agrees, but her attacks continue.

Case discussion

How are the biological, psychological, and societal systems involved in Rosa’s situation?

We might hypothesize that her physical symptoms – dizziness and shortness of breath – are due to an inability to resolve a difficult family conflict. Psychological and societal demands may elicit responses from the biological system, as they commonly do, and people under stress. The biological system often alerts a person to the severity of a threat or crisis through the development of physical symptoms. Rose might visit her family doctor in order to evaluate whether her symptoms are the result of high blood pressure or early signs of heart disease. There may be a medication that can help reduce the symptoms allowing Rose to have to feel less anxious and more confident about her role in the family.

Rose’s psychological system is involved in interpreting her son’s behavior which she views as forcing her to choose between him and her daughter-in-law and granddaughter. She might also use psychological processes to try to arrive at a solution to the conflict. So far, Rose has not identified any satisfactory solution. Although she can avoid the conflict most of the time, the impending Thanksgiving dinner is forcing her to confront it directly.

The psychological system includes Rose’s self-concept, as well as her emotional state. Through memory, Rose retains a sense of her family at earlier periods, when they enjoyed greater closeness. Having to face a Thanksgiving dinner, at which she will feel angry at her son or guilty about excluding her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, places her in a fundamental conflict. The Thanksgiving meal is also a symbolic event representing Rose’s idea of family unity, which she cannot achieve. Rose will lose the sense of family unity, and she is trying to preserve

This is societal system influences the situation at several levels. First, there is a societal expectation regarding the mother role: Mother is nurturing, loving, and protecting. But Rose cannot be nurturing without sending messages of rejection either to her son or to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Second, social norms for relating to various family members after divorce or unclear. How should rose to behave toward her son’s former spouse how to relate to her grandchild if her son is no longer the child’s custodial parent Rose is confused about what to do third the thanksgiving celebration of social, religious, and cultural significance this family ritual was performed and ROZES home and she was a child, and she has carried it through in her own home as an adult now however she is being forced to pass the responsibility for this gathering to her daughter before she is ready to do so and as a result, Rose is likely to feel a special sense of loss.

Respond: To the five questions below

  1. How does this case illustrate the interconnections among the biological, psychological, and societal systems?
  2. Given what you know about the assumptions of the psychosocial theory, how might Rose’s stage of development influence her perceptions of the situation and her approach to coping with this conflict?
  3. How might you pose a research question based on the information raised in this case study? (For example, how likely is it that parents experience health problems following their child’s divorce?)
  4. How might Rose’s social support system, especially her daughters, be involved in helping her cope with this conflict
  5. How might the current conflict impact future psychosocial development

Reflect:

  1. How does your culture view the stages of life? Other their special ceremonies for birth, wedding, coming of age, etc…)
  2. How do these cultural beliefs influence the way you make meaning of your current stage of life?

Critical Reflection Essay

Critically reflect on some of the skills you might need to make sure children and young people participate in decision making while keeping them safe. Describe one strategy in detail that you could use with Noah from this case study.

Case Study

Noah is an Australian boy age 10 and he has been in foster care since he was 8. His mother was unable to care for him because of severe mental health issues. His father is no longer in contact with the family and there are no other relatives in a position to help. Noah was settled into a foster home until his foster father died suddenly and violently three months ago. His mother was not unable to care for him any longer as she was coping with the shock of the bereavement. She was very clear that he would not be able to return to her in the future. The local Office of communities and justice had to find an alternative placement, and Noah was placed with foster carers from a private fostering agency as no appropriate foster carers were available. This was seen as an emergency placement but Noah’s allocated social worker left the Department and nothing much was done for 10 weeks whilst the case was re-allocated, apart from statutory visits via a duty worker. The newly allocated social worker, Jenny has been to see Noah, who is very happy at the placement. He has bonded with both foster carers, their dog and the extended family and says he does not want to move. The team manager says he must be moved to different foster carers as this was an emergency placement and he will very likely be able to bond with other foster carers. Jenny suspects that this is a financially motivated decision since these ’in house’ carers will be cheaper than the private agency foster carers. She tries to advocate for Noah to stay where he is, quoting the New South Wales Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1989 about Noah’s wishes and feelings, but meets with total opposition from the manager.

  1. Read Chapter 17 of the prescribed textbook (Fernandez, E. & Delfabbro, P. 2021. Child protection and the care continuum: theoretical, empirical and practice insights, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon, New York, NY: Routledge)
  2. Make sure you understand the participation principle and how this is implemented in child protection processes (page 277 gives some examples) and the different ’modes’ of participation (pp278-283).
  3. Reflect on our discussion and activities in class. You might want to use the critical reflection model to help you (What? So What? What now?
  4. Write 375 words (+/- 10% leeway) that demonstrate that you have thought about this topic CRITICALLY.
  5. Use one (1) reference to support any claims you make.

– This is an individual reflection so you can include a related personal experience to support your thinking if you want to

– You can write in first person or third person

– You can use other peer-reviewed references in addition to the prescribed textbook

– Use any author-date referencing systchoem as long as you are consistent.
