FMST 201 “FACES OF POVERTY” Learning Task #1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7CZMvtU5-E
These online activities invite you to reflect on the content of your textbook and class discussions. I am looking for evidence that you have thought about the posed questions, requiring you to think critically and to articulate deliberate responses.
Outside of class, you will view a 24-minute video, ” Faces of Poverty: Living on the breaking point in Reading, PA. After viewing the video you will complete a 1 ½ -2 page typed, critical thinking response by following the prompts below. Consider the stories of the people of Reading, PA in the context of two of the family science theoretical perspectives we have just learned about in Chapter Two and write your reaction to one or more of the challenges the people depicted in the documentary face. Begin your response with an idea or value that provides a context for understanding the more specific details of your response.
• Name define, provide context and support of the Family Strengths Theory and the Family Ecological Theory reviewed and discussed from Chapter Two of our text with explicit examples in your narrative.
• Think about the Family Strengths perspective that we have reviewed in class and discussed in Chapter Two of our text. What are some of the qualities that you observe in families in the video that you would consider to be qualities of strength? How could those be used to promote change and growth?
• Utilizing the Family Ecological Theory identifies some of the contextual factors in the community that is contributing to the families being able to obtain the resources they need. Can you identify anything in the community that is having a positive impact on the ability of families to access resources?
• Please compose a 1 ½-2 page typed response and post as a Word Document only in our FMST201 Blackboard Assignment Folder; Learning Tasks #1 Faces of Poverty, integrating course content with your viewpoint. Use APA format for 1” margins, 12 point Times New Roman font style, double spaced in your critical thinking response. A cover page and running head is not required for learning tasks.
