Developmental Disability in the movie Boys Next Door

/in /by

Developmental Disability in the movie “Boys Next Door.”

Instructions

Paper Guidelines

This assignment involves watching a movie and writing a 5-page paper (NOT INCLUDING cover page and reference page) analyzing its portrayal of disability and the impact of development. The goal of this paper is to integrate and apply your knowledge of development and how disability impacts that development as portrayed in the media. You are to watch a movie “Boys Next Door” that includes a major character living with a disability or a serious health condition.
1. Provide an introduction that includes a brief description of the person with a disability or health condition whose “story” is presented. Provide a thesis that identifies the disability/disorder portrayed in the movie and, most importantly, the impact this condition has on the person’s development.
2. Prove your thesis by briefly describing the character’s disability or health condition. Apply scholarly research about the disability to detailed observations of the character as evidence, using specific examples of how the disorder is portrayed by the character.
3. Prove your thesis by describing the impact on the character’s developmental tasks. This is the most important part of the assessment and should include the following points:
a. Identify (approximately) the character’s age and life stage (young adulthood, early childhood, etc.) and provide a very brief summary of the typical physical, cognitive, social, and emotional characteristics that occur during this life stage. Include any relevant major developmental milestones in relation to the character. Santrock references will be useful here.
b. Identify at least three ways the person’s health condition or disability impacted their development with regard to physical, cognitive, social, or emotional issues. Consider treatment and any stigma as part of this analysis.
4. Prove your thesis by describing the impact of at least two cultural elements that present themselves in the movie. Identify how the setting of the movie (year, time, and place) impacts the person and his/her experience of the disability and consider whether this representation is accurate. This analysis could include specific cultural elements and beliefs, or broader factors related to geography, age, ethnicity, religion, prevalent mindsets, and political climate. Stigma and discrimination may be relevant here.
5. This paper is an assessment of your writing skills. Use third person (no “I”) and pay attention to structure, clarity, flow, and mechanics like grammar and punctuation. Use an introduction to present your thesis, and a conclusion to complete your analysis; proofread for spelling, accuracy, and cohesion.
6. This paper is not a movie review. A description of the movie is not necessary. Do not use a review or any published analysis of your movie, as it will not count as a scholarly reference.
7. APA Reference Guidelines: This paper should reference at least 4 sources in addition to your text by Santrock. This should include at least two scholarly journal articles. You may also use book chapters, and one scholarly, well-credentialed website (1 maximum) to support your statements regarding the accuracy of the portrayal of the disability in the movie. You may also cite the movie but, again, don’t count it as scholarly.
Please make sure you have corrected the references from Paper #2 for final copy.
8. Format guidelines: Paper must be typed, double spaced, with one-inch margins and with a font no less than 12 pt. Use a cover page as per APA style discussed in class, with name, page numbers, title, date, class, etc. NO running header and NO abstract needed. Just upload by due date and time.
NOTE – Course Hero and other databases will be cross referenced, including past papers from this class, and any form of plagiarism will result in a grade of zero for this paper.

A Comprehensive Categorization of Employee Outcomes

/in /by

Reflection: Inclusion – A Comprehensive Categorization of Employee Outcomes

 

Readings attached. Paper instructions below. No paragraph indentions. 

 

Overview (First Paragraph)

Provide an overview for each of the video and readings. Summarize the central propositions, assertions, or
evidence that is provided. Identify the important terminology and their meaning. List important take-aways or
practical implications. (Note: you may use the learning objectives posted in the weekly itinerary and with each
video and reading to help to organize and focus what you want to include in your overview summary.)
(1) What is the central message and common elements of the learning experience across the instructor’s
presentation and readings as a whole for the week’s unit?
(2) For each of the video and readings, what are the central propositions, assertion, or evidence? What was the
basis of the logic that was provided to support the assertions?
(3) What new terminology was introduced or clarified? What was the meaning of the terminology?
(4) What practical implications or take-aways were offered?
Experiential Learning Reflection (2nd Paragraph)
Discuss a common real life experience specific to the topic of the reading. You must have one experience from which you are able to show the connections to the learning content. You must explicitly show the connections between the elements
of the experience and the learning content and how these connections created new or enhanced understanding.
(5) What is an experience in which this topic play out (i.e., critical incident technique)?
• What was the context?
• Who were the actors and what were their formal or informal roles?
• What exactly happened – what did each of the actors do?
• Why do I think each of the actors acted in the way that they did?
• What were the consequences of the actions (attitudinal, behavioral, organizational)?
• What was the original learning or insight gained from the experience?
Were there follow up experiences that demonstrated what I learned from the original experience and was able to apply
(6) How did the learning content for the week show reading up in this experience?
• What were the specific elements of the learning content?
• How did each learning content element show up in the experience (connect the dots)?
(7) What new insights or understanding did systematically applying the learning content generate?
• What new insights did the learning content create when applied to the original experience?
• How did the application of the learning content change my perspective regarding what the experience was really about or how the experience should have been regarded or handled?
Critical Reflexivity (3rd paragraph)
Critical reflection recognizes and makes specific the biases that influence your perspective on the experience(s)
and how you interpret and attribute cause and consequence. Critical reflexivity requires that you step outside of yourself to assess why and how you are thinking in order to derive alternate possible explanations and understandings. Critical reflexivity should force you to see the situation from the other person’s perspective.
(8) What biases (i.e., based on prior experiences, life/career stage, lessons, motivations, cognitive, informational, or observational limitations, or norms due to gender, race, culture, etc.) did I bring to the reflection on the original experience, and how might I reconsider what happened, why it happened, and what should have been
concluded about it?
Confirmation Reflection (4th paragraph) 
A confirmation reflection (a.k.a. evidence-based or active experimentation reflection) considers subsequent experience(s), observations, readings, or other evidence-based sources that confirmed, contradicted, or expanded your understanding of the original experience. Reflect on the effect of the confirmation and how it changed your understanding, behavior, or plans.
(9) What piece of external evidence, observation, or other experience can I apply to inform, validate, or challenge my newly evolving understanding?
Productive Reflection (5th paragraph)
A productive reflection refers to specific action steps you are currently implementing in your life in response to your new understandings, to definite plans you intend to implement in the future when you are in a supervisory,
managerial, or leadership role, or to career plans that you are formulating for your next career stage.
(10) What is my application of the newly developed understanding to my life? What am I changing in my current life and what is my action plan for the future?
