changing positions of individuals etc. HSC2003-Outcome 2- assist in minimising individuals pain or discomfort. 1. Describe how pain and discomfort may affect an INDIVIDUAL’S well-being and communication. Pain can effect individuals communication so it is therefore important to observe their behaviour for signs of pain.
A higher response rate can be obtained if follow-up questionnaires are sent, but this can add to the cost and time. However, some sociologists may choose to use questionnaires as there is no need to recruit and train interviewees thus saving costs. Another reason as to why some sociologists choose not to use questionnaires when conducting research is because of the fact that questionnaires are snapshots of social reality of the time when the respondents answer the questionnaires. This means that they fail to produce valid pictures as they do not capture how people’s attitudes can change over time. On the other hand, questionnaires tend to be used by sociologists as they provide less ethical issues than other research methods.
Counselling in a diverse society 1. Understand issues which affect counselling in a multi-cultural society. 1.1 Using examples, evaluate the relevance of the following in the counselling process. • Stereotyping. • Language issues.
These children could have been our future; however there are those who choose to support charities such as ‘donkey sanctuary’ rather than charities which directly deliver the aid and education needed and prevent an early end to a child’s life, a human, again as I emphasised earlier, our own species. One way of looking at this example is
People don’t usually decide to help the needy, but they choose to, according to their free will due to psychological biases. According to Trout, free will comes as a primitive feeling; it is a product of the actions that was ought to happen, but due to environmental conditions and other biases, it may have shifted. Therefore, according to the author, an individual is not as free as they think they are, rather free will comes into action when it clashes with the individual’s source of happiness. This leads to right and wrong choices. Individuals must identify and correct such biases in order to make wise, empathetic
Functionalism has received criticism for neglecting the negative functions of an event, such as divorce. Functionalism does not encourage people to take an active role in changing their social environment, even when such change may benefit them. Instead, functionalism sees active social change as undesirable because the various parts of society will compensate naturally for any problems that may arise. The founder of the functionalist theory is Emile Durkheim. This theory can also be known as the consensus theory; society can also
This may affect the service user in such a way that they may feel they they are not wanted. They may feel that the service that they hoped for is not actually what is seems and may make the service user feel insecure and depressed. This could then lead to an infringement of rights. Health and social care professionals have a duty to promote the rights of their patients and service users and to challenge those people who may infringe the rights of others. In the past, services have been accused of not letting service users know about some of the facilities that could be available to them: this is because practitioners knew there was no funding available to support the provision of the service.
This is probably why Christopher thinks the way he does because you can not really see god, and probably doesn’t see the logic in religion either. It’s ones faith that drives someone to believe in him, while Christopher would not be able to have faith and believe because there would be no solid evidence that God exists and he mostly only believes in what he sees, something that is concrete. To Christopher God might be just another fairytale. “People believe in God because the world is very complicated and they think it is very unlikely that anything as complicated as a flying squirrel or the human eye or a brain could happen by chance. But they should think logically and if they thought logically they would see that they can only ask this question because it had already happened and they exist.
Charity is not an obligation, “giving aid would be a good thing to do but it would not be wrong not to do it” (Gilabert, 2007). In Singer’s eyes, these “traditional moral categories are upset” (Singer, 1972). Spending money on frivolous items when others are suffering and we have the means to satisfy or own needs and the needs of our dependents is in the eyes of Singer to be wrong (Singer, 1972). It is not an act of charity to donate money to those suffering from lack of shelter, food, and medicine it is in fact a duty that many are ignoring (Singer, 1972). The distinction between duty and charity seem to blur closer together for him than what has been traditionally set by society.
Strength / Weakness - research that is in the form of naturally occurring phenomena (Roberts and Lamb) has good ecological validity but is not scientific or replicable as variables were not highly controlled and because it is not artificial. It would also be unethical to test eye witness testimony when a real sensitive subject is being discussed. Strength / Weakness - the results could be due to a number of factors such as: young people may be more used to memory tests or older adults have poorer health leading to memory impairment. Weakness - the research findings are inconclusive. Weakness - the factors given by researchers, such as the ones stated, are only assumptions with no scientific evidence.
