Resilience can be defined as positive adaption in the face of adversity (Easterbrooks, Ginsbury, & Lerner, 2013). In order for individuals, families, or communities to be resilient it allows each unit to recover from trauma and continual stressors successful. Resilience can show in individuals and families if they are able to continue to function healthfully under extensive amounts of stressors (Farrell, Bowen, & Swick, 2014). There are many different factors that can contribute to the level of…

“Resilience is all about being able to overcome the unexpected. Sustainability is about survival. The goal of resilience is to thrive.” –Jamais Cascio. Survival requires you to have aspiration even if something goes in the wrong direction and intelligence by creating useless items into useful items. In the excerpt Life of Pi by Yann Martel, it explains how Pi struggles to survive on a lifeboat with a large Bengal Tiger named Richard Parker, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean after a horrific…

Prompt 1- Overcoming Trauma: The Development of Resilience The term “resilience” tends to be thrown around in the fields of psychology, developmental psychopathology, and child development rather loosely. It may be used in the manner of being a lofty term to describe an individual, a personality trait that is attributed to them, that they are resilient, not that they have resilience. A more comprehensive understanding of resilience may come from the developmental psychopathology perspective in…

I have to face life’s obstacles every day. Sometimes the obstacles that I face can be hurdled over, but most have to be dealt with. I have been on many overseas tours with the U.S. Army, and have learned how to be resilient in coping with stressful situations. Resilience is, according to Harrington (2012),”An individual’s response and methods used to allow them to successfully navigate through or past an event perceived to be stressful” (p. 27). One obstacle I have had to overcome is being away…

1. In the Montgomery (2010) article, how is resilience defined? • Montgomery defines resilience as the ability to recover from, rather than the absence of problems at arrival in Denmark. • Many definitions of resilience have been presented. • In general resilience is defined as… the development an individual has adapting following adversity/maladaptation. Resilience can depend on relationships, interactions, environmental factors. • “Spring Back / Bounce Back” • 2. What are some of the…

1. Social skills such as communications skills, a sense of humor and being responsive to other people; 2. Problem solving skills such as planning, help seeking, critical and creative thinking. 3. Autonomy a secure sense of one's identity, self-worth and ability to cope; and 4. A sense of purpose and hope for the future e.g. having personal goals and values and a sense of faith and connectedness with others. The point here is that…

To describe a human being, you would have to pick many qualities in order to truly paint a solid picture of a person. You can describe them and the subject might say “yes that sounds like me” but the reality is that we probably missed something. This is a really tough situation to be in and you could either insult someone because you missed something about them or they could think you do not really know them. Now imagine having to do it on yourself. You will read about how I am a mentor, how…

There is a lot of competition and being able to gain more business would put any business owner at an advantage of becoming one of the most successful business owners. In business, the purpose of elasticity is to measure the degree of response from a buyer or seller to change in the price of a certain good or service. This would be important to understand in a case such as a business owner who would want to lower prices or have a sale. The business…

hand, indicates that changes in the price, will have little to no influence in the quantity of demand. In other words, a price rise would always cause an increase in revenue, for the reason that demand would remain constant (Skousen, 2014). Both elasticity and price inelastic are significant aspects of supply and demand. Especially, since the use of these systems can assist in identifying if the market prices are at equilibrium, or whether a surplus or shortage is being…

1) What are engineering stress and strain? Answer: Engineering Stress: Engineering stress is also called nominal stress, and it is defined as the applied load divided by the original cross sectional area of the material. Engineering Strain: Engineering strain is defined as the amount of material that deforms per unit length in a tensile test. Engineering strain is also known as nominal strain. 2) In the figure below, graphically show the toughness of three class materials:…
