Real-Life Application

• For each concept, explain:
• How you have seen this concept in:
• Your own life?
• AND/OR
• News, social media, or popular culture?

Sociological Reflection

• Answer the following reflection prompts:
• Why did you choose these 5 concepts?
• How did these 5 chapters change the way you see everyday behavior?
• Did anything challenge your assumptions or beliefs?
• Why might understanding these concepts be useful in your personal life and/or career?

Formatting Requirements

• Minimum of 500 words per journal (~ 100 words per chapter)
• Double-spaced,12-point font

For each model, you will identify the theorists, the role of the therapist, the model assumptions, key interventions, goals, and length of treatment. You will also critique the model and its applicability to specific clinical issues.

Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic.

1. Jottings

• Quickly record observations during or immediately after your 30-minute observation.
• Use bullet points to note everything you notice: sights, sounds, smells, interactions, behaviors.

3. Analysis

• Use at least 3 course readings (including 1 from the week you submit your fieldnote).
• Connect your observations to themes from your readings.
• Structure your analysis as follows:
  1. Create sub-sections for each theme you coded (see coding section).
  2. Use specific observations from your jottings/description to illustrate the theme.
  3. Reference 3 readings to explain or challenge your observations (paraphrase + in-text citation).
  4. Answer these questions:
     • What do your observations reveal about course themes?

  • Coding/Color legend
  • Works Cited page

THE FOLLOWING IS JUST AN EXAMPLE:

• This is an example (ATTACHED BELOW) of how the fieldnote can be used on a film. You will also be basing your fieldnote on a film. It does a good job of describing the scenes in detail, coding for themes and color-coding those themes.

For this weeks journal entry, consider your gender. Consider your childhood. Was binary gender emphasized in your experience, or was wider latitude offered? Did you fit into the categories offered, or did your expression vary in some fashion? If so, in what ways did you not fit? Did parents, relatives, or other agents of socialization use emotional, psychological, or physical force to shape your thinking and behaviour? Did/do you experience stereotype threat at home, at school, at work? Did this threat cause you to modify your behaviours? What about your occupational choices or the work you do in the home? Are these gender typed? Are there intersectional elements to your experience? If so, what are they? Finally, list some of the social, psychological, emotional, and economic consequences of your gender socialization.
