The adolescent stage can be described as a time where there is a loss of innocence and a preentry into adulthood. A large part of being an adolescent is beginning that process of stepping out into the world and learning about oneself as a unique and autonomous individual. This movement out into the world is contingent upon the knowledge that this young person will have a safe and secure home to return to at the end of the day. If a traumatic loss or event has occurred in the adolescent’s life, there may be no safe base to which this individual can return. Attachment theory teaches us that a young person’s ability to attach/engage with peers, family, and other potential support systems is an important aspect of the developmental process. During the adolescent stage of development, assessing attachment styles is important because it provides a window into how the adolescent relates to others, which allows the clinician to choose the appropriate intervention.

For this Discussion, choose either the program case study for the Bradley family or the course-specific case study for Brady.

By Day 3

Post an application of the attachment theory to the case of either Tiffani or Brady. Discuss the connection between his or her attachment style and the exhibiting behavior.

First read “States”.

Then answer and think about the following:

The final chapter of “After the Last Sky” (the book “States” was published in) ends with this:

“I would like to think, though, that such a book not only tells the reader about us, but in some way also reads the reader. I would like to think that we are not just the people seen or looked at in these photographs: We are also looking at our observers.”

Now, read back through Said’s essay by looking at the photos with this reversal in mind – looking in order to see yourself as the one who is being looking at, as the one observed. How are you positioned by the photographer, Jean Mohr? How are you positioned by the person in the scene, always acknowledging your presence? What are you being told? (Answers these in your discussion)

Once you have read through the photographs, reread the essay with a similar question in mind. This time, however, look for evidence of how Said positions you, defines you, invents you as a presence in the scene. What does this look like?

Write two paragraphs of a total of 250 words or more. This may take some time to think on, so I have extended the date into next week.

Plan to keep presentation less than 7 minutes. Your presentation should explain why the particular images you selected represent good design to you. Think back to the readings. During your presentation, answer the following questions.

• Do the objects you selected fit within Dieter Rams’s criteria?
• Would these objects represent good design to everyone or only to your specific needs?
• How would you describe your overall design aesthetic?
• Why does the object wow you?
• What possibilities, stories, trends do you see in this design object?

* If you are doing an audio or video, you must also post a written transcript. This document can also include the citations, if they are not included in the audio or video.

What needs to be included in the presentation?

Images, citations and one paragraph (written, audio or video) per category (total of 5 categories). These can be design objects from any time period and culture.

Required image categories. Note, you must select two unique images for each category, they cannot be the same object or designer.

• 2 images of architecture
• 2 images of interiors/interior design
• 2 images of costume/fashion/dress
• 2 images of graphic design
• 2 images of product design

Citations for architecture and interiors should include*:

Architect/Interior Designer (if known), Title/Description of Structure, Date, Location

Citations for all others:

Designer (if known), Title/Description, Date, Country of Origin/Manufacture

*Note: A website link is not considered a proper citation.

Managing Conflict

Most of us will face conflict throughout our lives. Being able to negotiate and manage conflict effectively is important in the workplace. Given this, the focus of this unit will be on learning how to manage conflict more effectively.

• Describe a recent conflict that you experienced (preferably one that you encountered on the job).
• Discuss the conflict in terms of the five stages that are described in your textbook (potential opposition or incompatibility, cognition and personalization, intentions, behavior, and outcomes).
• Analyze the effectiveness of your approach to managing the conflict.
• Discuss what you could do differently if a similar conflict were to arise in the future.

Negotiation

Take the Self-Assessment: Do you have the Makings of a Good Negotiator.

• Discuss your results in terms of effectiveness and individual differences in negotiation.
• Considering the results, discuss the type of bargaining strategy that would work best for you and why.
• Select two of the five steps in the negotiation process listed in your text that you are most likely to struggle with, given your negotiation style.
• Based on your analysis, describe ways in which you could overcome these obstacles to effective negotiation.

There are 2 parts. A minimum of 350 words per section with references,
