3–5 page paper (not including title page and references) Worth 100 points. For due date, see Canvas. All papers are to conform to APA formatting (i.e., running head, title page, double-spaced throughout, appropriate headings citations, etc.) and reference style. To adhere to APA standards and avoid plagiarism each statement informed or informed by outside sources must be cited as such. Instructions and grading rubric: The purpose of this assignment is to analyze the social system in the environment where you were raised. Families are the context of individual development and play a big role in the development of people across the life course. Social workers will analyze the systems of those they work with. To begin this practice you will analyze the context in which you were raised. Using the general systems theory by Andreae (2011) AND ONE OTHER REFERENCE SOURCE ON SYSTEMS THEORY SELECTED BY YOU (must be published in a peer-reviewed journal or book chapter—no news articles or websites), you will apply key concepts to your family context. The definition of family may differ for each person. You may self-determine who you consider part of your family system. This assignment is aimed at developing self-awareness to manage personal values that may enter into the social work relationship and apply theoretical concepts to specific context. Paper #1 Rubric Criteria Ratings Pts APA formatting, clear writing style, and incorporation of at least one outside reference on systems theory (Not including the Andreae reading) This area will be used by the assessor to leave comments related to this criterion. /20 First, define and apply (through providing examples) at least five components of systems theory (these can include the assumptions listed on page 247 of Andreae, environmental influences, rules and roles, open and closed systems, boundaries, stability and change) to your family system. Demonstrate your understanding of these concepts. You can choose to do this at any age you can recall most clearly. This area will be used by the assessor to leave comments related to this criterion. /25 Next, critically analyze how these concepts were manifested and relevant to your family. You can choose to focus on all of the concepts, of focus on those most relevant/salient to your family system. For example, how were boundaries negotiated? What were the explicit or implicit rules and roles of your family and how did they show up? You will be evaluated on your in-depth analysis and thorough understanding of systems theory. This area will be used by the assessor to leave comments related to this criterion. /55 Total Points /100

FULL Prompt available: Dec 14th Due: Dec. 18thhttps://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.12575...Prompt preview:write a formal essay 750 to 850 word analysis in response to a prompt about the content and the meaning of Molloy by Samuel Beckett. To prepare for the exam essay, read the novel, read all the Module pages about the novel, including the following, and take part in the Discussion on the next page.A significant departure from Beckett’s earlier work, Molloy tells a story that resists interpretation. The narrator even declares, “What a rabble in my head, what a gallery of moribunds […] Stories, stories. I have not been able to tell them. I shall not be able to tell this one.” Yet, a story is told, and it’s told in increasingly uncertain narratives that loop and wind up where they began, and in the process of the telling, a vision of life is created. Your job is to interpret that vision.The exam will include a detailed essay prompt about the novel. However, it's going to ask for a detailed and well-supported description of your personal perspective on the novel, however informed by class notes or The Cambridge Introduction. ( located in the screenshot below)So be sure to consider the following questions and observations...What do you think Molloy is saying about the human condition and human nature?How would you describe Beckett’s vision of human experience?The novel puts forward the idea that meaning, orderliness, and certainty are imaginary protective layers we use against the chaos and meaninglessness of the world, that it’s natural or human nature to seek a sense of order and meaning in our lives.Molloy suggests that human experience strips these things (the protective layers) away, that it’s part of the human condition to seek these things and to lose them (the imaginary assurances) and, perhaps, to find a more authentic self.Philosophical Considerations:Existentialism versus Determinism (psychological v biological)Are Molloy and Moran all of us, universal? Are we all fated to become like them?Are Molloy and Moran examples of free will gone wrong? Is it avoidable?PsychoanalysisJung's Collective UnconsciousMythic QuestUniversal ArchetypesFreud’s UnconsciousLatent and Manifest DesiresSymbolismConsider the Time Period:Late Modernism: WWII/Post-WWII sensibilities / trauma / Beckett during the war...Chooses to stay in France during war over returning to Ireland in peaceJoins the Red Cross so that he can return to Paris where he sees destruction firsthandJoins the French Resistance with his wife, Suzanne, during Nazi occupation of Paris (doing translating for Allied Forces)Is reported to Nazi authorities and narrowly escapes arrestSpends the rest of the war in hiding in the French countryside, continuing work with the resistance (transporting arms).The philosopher and literary theorist Theodor Adorno, who famously said, “There can be no poetry after Auschwitz,” favored Beckett’s bleak aesthetic as the only appropriate response to WWII. Adorno also said, “Always with Beckett there is a technical reduction to the extreme. … But this reduction is really what the world makes out of us ...that is what the world has made out of us these stumps of men … these men who have actually lost their I, who are really the products of the world in which we live.”How does labeling the novel 'postwar aesthetic' help you make sense of Molloy's depiction of human experience?You are NOT required to address all of these ideas, but you are required to consider them and to be thoughtful and informed in your interpretation of the novel. You are required to have a thoughtful interpretation and to address the ideas that are relevant to it. Develop your own opinion and then see what others think in the discussion on the following page...
