Your Family and Group Experiences

I need support with this Writing question so I can learn better.

Getting Started

Self-awareness and a commitment to ongoing personal reflection are important components of ethical and effective social work practice. In particular, new social workers must regularly reflect on experiences of their own upbringing and family. There are many opportunities to empathize and relate to clients in a way that is positive and beneficial to their experience, but there is also the potential to be triggered in a way that is distracting or even detrimental to the client experience.

In this activity, you will have the opportunity to reflect on your family and group experiences as they relate to the concepts of the workshop. Throughout the course, you are encouraged to consider and reflect on any current family and group interactions you have as a method to support your growth as a future social worker.

Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:

  • Develop self-reflection and self-regulation to effectively manage the intersection of personal and professional values. (PO 1)

Resources

  • Textbook: Social Work with Groups: Comprehensive Practice and Self-Care
  • File: My Family Experiences.pdf
  • File: My Group Experiences.pdf

Background Information

As discussed in the textbook, Social Work with Groups: Comprehensive Practice and Self-Care, social workers are leaders and participants in a variety of groups, using a range of skills from simple to complex (Zastrow, 2019), Group work is considered resource efficient and effective in meeting the needs of clients and communities. Groups are effectively used in a variety of settings and with a variety of populations. The group modality requires a special set of ethical considerations, knowledge, skills, and values.

Legal and Ethical Environment of Business

I’m stuck on a Business question and need an explanation.

In January 2010, Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, was struck by a massive Earthquake that killed tens of thousands—maybe even hundreds of thousands—of people. Rescue workers rushed to remove survivors from the rubble, but in the days following the earthquake thousands of people wandered the streets without food or shelter. Some instances of looting and violence occurred as survivors grew desperate for sustenance. In the meantime, Royal Caribbean operated a cruise line that made a regular stop at Haiti, at a private beach where it had previously spent millions of dollars in improvements to ensure that the vacationers on its cruise ships would enjoy themselves during their overnight stops. Within a week of the disaster, Royal Caribbean was seeking to assure its customers that the stop in Haiti was not unethical. It pointed out that bringing tourist dollars to Haiti was actually an ethical thing to do, despite the thousands of dying and injured just a short distance away.

If you were scheduled to begin a vacation on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship that docked at its private beach during the week following the earthquake, would you go? If you decided to go, how would your friends and family react to your choice? If Royal Caribbean was not legally required to issue refunds for nonrefundable tickets, should it be willing to issue refunds anyhow?

APA, and work cited page needed.

essay titled “Tyler’s Footprints.” Does this essay fulfill the requirements of a narrative essay? Why or why not? Make sure your answer is at least 10 sentences long and free of spelling and most grammatical errors.

I’m trying to learn for my Writing class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

Tyler’s Footprints

I was twenty-seven years old, and death was the last thing on my mind. I was happily

married, and not only did I have an active three-year-old, but my second child was due any time.

I was completely satisfied with the direction my life had taken. I did not know, however, that

tragedy was waiting for me around the corner, nor could I have known that when all was said

and done, I would be the richer for it.

It was a hot and muggy summer day that Friday. I was forty-one weeks pregnant, and

was at what I hoped would be my last prenatal visit. My obstetrician was checking me over, and

everything seemed fine, until she listened for the baby’s heartbeat and couldn’t find it.

I could sense the concern in her voice when she asked, “Has the baby been active lately?”

“No, not really,” I replied, beginning to feel a little uneasy; “I just figured it was settling down

for birth.” She handed me a lab slip and said, “I’m sending you down to radiology for an

ultrasound; I’d like to get a better look.”

I was overcome with fear as I laid in the darkness of the exam room. I told myself not to

worry, that this test would prove everything was fine, but as the radiologist scanned my round

belly, the screen sat motionless. My obstetrician, who had been watching the monitor, soon

turned to me and said, “I’m so sorry Donna, but your baby has died. Would you like to call your

husband?”

Suddenly I felt as if I were out of my body, and that I was floating above the room. My

dazed mind tried to comprehend what I had just been told. I quickly asked her how soon until

she performed the c-section. “In a case like this we don’t routinely perform a c-section,” she

quietly said. “We’ll give you medication to induce labor, and if all goes well you’ll deliver

normally tomorrow.” I was speechless. I had experienced labor once before, but the outcome

was well worth the pain. How in the world would I get through it this time?

But get through it I would, and in the end I had a son whom I named Tyler. The nurse

brought him to me wrapped in a pale blue receiving blanket; she placed him in my arms, then

quietly left the room. As I held him I was amazed at how perfect he was. He looked like a

normal baby, not hideous or disfigured, as I had imagined. I counted his fingers, and marveled at

his billowy brown hair. How could someone so close to life suddenly die? I wondered. What

was the point of these past nine months if only to end like this? It made no sense to me.

My husband was sitting in the chair beside my bed. As he looked upon his son I saw a

few tears fall from his eyes. “I’m sorry, but I can’t help you right now,” I said to him. I felt

dead inside, and I didn’t know how I was going to help myself. How could I go on without this

child that I had so patiently waited for?

A short while later the nurse reappeared, and I knew the time had come to say goodbye.

As I kissed his forehead, I could feel his silky hair beneath my lips. “Goodbye Tyler; Mommy

loves you,” I whispered to him. Then I handed him to the nurse. As I watched her carry him

away, I felt as if someone had torn my heart from my chest.

Doe 2

Later the autopsy would reveal that he had died of asphyxiation. Apparently the

umbilical cord had become wrapped around his neck so tightly that it had cut off his oxygen

supply. I found it ironic that the cord which was to sustain his life would in the end claim it.

The weeks that followed were horrible. I could never have guessed that the death of an

unborn baby would have such a profound effect on me. I found myself drowning in a sea of

anguish and despair, all the while wondering why this happened to me. I was convinced that I

would never be happy again, that my life would be devoid of joy and laughter forever.

But I was wrong, for little by little the days became easier to get through, and the once

bitter pain gave way to a dull ache. I began to read thought-provoking books, as I searched for

the answers that had thus far eluded me. Slowly I began to gain a clearer understanding of the

essence of life. I was maturing, becoming wise. I could better empathize with others who were

in pain. But perhaps most surprisingly, I began to feel at peace with myself.

It’s now nearly a decade later, and the pain that I once knew has been replaced with

bitter-sweet memories. I marvel at the fact that, though Tyler’s stay was brief, he managed to

teach me so much. He sent me on a journey of self-growth, and I’m happy where I ended up.

There’s a saying that goes: “Some people come into our lives and quickly go, some stay for

awhile and leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same.” I fancy that if I could

peer into my heart, I would surely see a couple of footprints that Tyler left along the way.
