different. In class, I learned about the theories of human development which played a great role in helping me better understand the movie through a different perspective. Through watching the movie, I was able to apply the theories to not only the plot of the movie, but also the characters. The Silver Linings Playbook movie gave me the opportunity to analyze the development of a character…

The child notified her mother of the abuse that occurred in school, which prompted her mother to seek assistance for her child from hospital, pediatrician, therapist and church. The limitation of the dynamic systems theory in assessing this case is that the child’s stable environment could not have prevented the abuse from occurring. Dynamic system’s theory does not take into account how other variables such as culture and biases may affect outcomes and functioning of systems. The child’s…

9. Define and explain Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, and give one example of direct and indirect family influence that you can identify in your own personal experience.

In criminal justice agencies, the need for cooperation and coordination…

Systems theory explains that things will not change quickly and that the organization will stay the same over time. Small changes are supported, but only if it is in the best interests of those who hold power and wealth in society. The functionalist theory also explains the…

Bertalanffy (1968) discussed this, saying that when we look specializing areas of work “each specialty becomes a triflingly small field, unconnected with the rest.” (p 50) Should a social worker be so invested in their individual client, agency or practice, inhibiting their ability to recognize larger barriers or inequalities, it would be advantageous to have a guide or framework of a larger perspective to be better able to identify where barriers and inequalities came from. Another argument…

Remember the Titans A system is something that is hard to study. It is always changing and it’s a complex, intricate thing that is sometimes hard to understand and grasp. However, by using system theory, we’re able to examine a system and what makes it function. There is not just one thing that makes up a system. There are various other things involved that help get in running effectively. In systems theory we are studying all the parts and how they work together as a whole. In the movie…
