Scottish Parliament

My passion for politics started when I was 12 years old, after I started noticing things on television concerning Scottish Independence. I saw the independence referendum as a chance for me to speak out about how I wanted my future to be, regardless of whether I would get to vote or not (which obviously, I wouldn’t). What I did not know though, is that just researching about Scottish and British Politics would cause me to branch out to other countries politics and become more aware social and…

fought for it. Writers of history flatter these individuals in stories. Their admirable traits make them very susceptible to immortalisation through myth and legend. Two individuals who have been thus immortalised are Roman gladiator Spartacus and Scottish rebel William Wallace. They continue to inspire people to strive for freedom.

Reflecting on the materials covered in Module number two; I was intrigued to learn about the changes that occurred in group work throughout history and how these changes influenced Social Work with groups.

Bafa Bafa Experiment Concrete Experience For the “Bafa Bafa” experiment done in class, our room was divided into two separate groups. The one’s who relocated outside were deemed the “Alphas”, the ones in the classroom were named the “Betas”. I was part of the Alpha group, and each member of our group had to follow a certain set of rules applied to us. Guidelines such as “Women are deemed the males of the group’s property” made it seem like a more of an old fashion type of society to me. Each…

The fundamental element for any organization is its structure. When an organization lacks an efficient organizational structure, then disarray will be run rampant throughout the organization and the project’s initiated by the members lack adequate quality.

Two of my greatest strengths are organizing others’ ideas and thinking of pragmatic approaches to big ideas. I know that having this personality type would allow me to create…

Our group faced some unique struggles in respect to this project. We had a serious conflict, but were able to resolve everything and become a succinct and cohesive group afterward. I truly believe that if we had not gone through the aforementioned conflict, we would not have been successful as a group. Our group development very closely followed Tuckman’s stages of group development: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning (Rust, 2015). First, our group was formed through random…
