Resiliency: A Video Analysis

Decent Essays
After showing my mother the video, my mother thought was the Oprah part of the video was the most powerful one. She thought that even when it seems like when your boss or adult told you that you are not worth it or that your are not good enough you have to power through things. When I ask her what she thinks of the sentence, failure is a great teacher, she told me that it is empowering and that everyone has a chance to do good, and everyone, depending on what happened should get a second chance.

    Tentative Hypothesis: Birdie McGreavy Throughout the article Resilience as Discourse, author Bridie McGreavy (2016) characterized the existing understanding of resilience, as well as took a turn in the conversation and constructed new avenues of thought. Across McGreavy’s (2016) introduction she skillfully introduced the current state of knowledge regarding resilience by means of verbs such as “positioned”, in an aim of noting the bereft existence of comprehension. McGreavy’s (2016) identification of questions unanswered by the existing understanding of the subject allowed her to then create space and extend the conversation, through statements such as “to address these questions, I investigated”.…

    The Glass Castle: The Longest Simile to Resilience Human resilience is defined in Elizabeth Edwards ’s quote, “Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it 's less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you 've lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that 's good.” It has exemplified itself repeatedly throughout our existence on Earth, from the harsher, simpler days of survival, or how nations have fallen to dust after war or plagues or poverty and yet glued themselves back together in blatant refusal of defeat, or the struggle of the modern-day individual fighting through financial disasters or emotional loss.…

    In the publication from 2008 on PRT, the Army institutionalized the PRT program for caregivers. This training focused on the compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, and caregiver burnout. A distance learning PRT video focusing on coping skills was inserted in the regular courses and the Mobile Training Teams were created to take PRT products on the road (Boone et al., 2008). In this Army emphasizes was on providing soldiers with coping skills to reduce the effects of war wounds in the inside (the impact on human mind). Another resilience study conducted in the Army shows the effectiveness of resilience training over military history training (Adler, Williams, McGurk, Moss, & Bliese, 2015).…

    When the video talked about how children were sent away to boarding school because their parents did not know how to handle them or communicate with them, it broke my heart. These children did not have regular communication with their families so they seemed to rely on the other children for love and support. Hearing the interviewees talk about their schooling adventure was pretty cool because they all had similar experiences. However, their experiences were not the best. Many of the people interviewed said that their deafness was treated as a handicap that…

    Research also indicates that promoting community acceptance is not only beneficial to former soldiers, but is also beneficial to the community itself. For example, higher community acceptance was associated with higher levels of prosocial behaviors exhibited by the children, which means that they were more likely to help out and contribute to the community (Betancourt et al., 2012). However, it can often be difficult to reintegrate children into their natal communities as they are often forced to commit atrocities against fellow villagers if they are abducted, which may cause the villagers to harbor resentment towards the children or feel distrustful of them (Hill & Langholtz, 2003). For children who join armed forces voluntarily, and even…

    I have learned in this course that resilience can change a nation and the fact that majorly doesn’t always rule but has to submit to the over whelming protest to change. Also, the changing demographics might impact both the new majority’s and the new minority’s access to power by the shifting of status as major or equal participants in all governments and legislative idealism. I think that change is inedible because throughout history we have seen great progress in oppression, human rights, civil rights, economic development in rural areas as well as inner cities. Furthermore, the most important are that equality and diversity are on the rise even though small steps are taking longer persistence is the key. With our ever changing racial makeup, all social, political economics and cultures are intertwined producing a new generation that promotes a new multicultural society and no longer seen as just white or black.…

    Historically, if assessed both are research traditions and particularly in last 30 years, these two schools of thought have produced much articles, books and researchers in parallel. Therefore, while the researchers belonging to HRO were busy in assessing aircraft carriers, air traffic controls and nuclear power plants, the Resilience Engineering researchers were developing conceptualization of problem of error and its eventual consequences for interfaces design in nuclear, aviation and medicine aspects. In early 90s, HROs in relation to the thesis of a normal accident debated the outcome of their investigation whereas the resilience engineers defined the naturalistic side to cognition broaden the approach towards safety with complexity and systems version and at same times developed tools and practical guidance to range of factors; risk assessments, engineers, interface designers and investigators etc. In 2000, the HRO researches developed a tool now known as “collective mindfulness”, at same time cognitive engineers supported the notion of resilience engineering for emphasizing positive side and natural views of cognition of frontline factors mentioned above (Le Coze, 2016).…
