It requires teamwork and communication. Subsequent to watching the short documentary, San Quentin’s Giants, I showed some of my neighbors the short film and asked them what they thought the overall message was. Most of them said that they thought the factual program was about how convicts at San Quentin State Prison got permission to play baseball because they were getting bored with the activities available.

    From my current placement I have experience of working with a child going through this transition, this had a very big effect on the child holistically. It became obvious to me that the child was very worried and unsettled about this transition as we noticed a negative change in the child's behaviour as he started becoming aggressive to other children and started a tendency to play alone and withdraw himself from the class. There was also a significant decrease in his school work performance as he was very withdrawn and found it difficult to communicate with the other children and sometimes staff. Working within the multi-agency team we introduced this child to an advocate which acted as a professional friend and from this we saw a slight improvement in the child's holistic development and behaviour. When working within the school team, we were part of the multi-agency team who contributed to…

    The definition of family says, “a basic social unit consisting of parents and their children, considered as a group, whether dwelling or not” (dictionary.com). Although according to J.D. Vance his definition of family is totally opposite, Vance never had the typical family and that is what his book Hillbilly Elegy is all about. In the book Vance’s mother, Bev Vance, isn’t really around. She is addicted to drugs and doesn’t really keep up with the mother role, so Mamaw overtakes the mother role and Papaw takes the father role. Vance’s book argues that no matter what your family may do they are still your family, you will always be apart of that family even when you aren’t with them, and you can’t and will never abandon your family.…
