Marla stated that there is a history of mental illness in her family citing that both of her parents suffered from depression. Marla also indicated that she had some problems growing up. She stated that she witnessed her parents fight a lot and as a result spent much time alone in her bedroom. When asked about important events that she can remember from her childhood she states that at the age of 10 she experienced the death of a sibling, after which her parents moved to a new city where she felt she did not fit in. She was often taunted and teased by her fellow classmates.
Growing up I remember my grandfather passing away at the young age of 60, although he did not pass from Alzheimer's disease, he did battle with a chronic illness that left him debilitated. He was the love of my grandmother’s life and to see him struggle everyday was very difficult for her. Reading this poem to her brought back extremely powerful memories that she thought she buried away many many years
Sociologically, grieving within families is not an easy task. Each family member reacts to death differently and forces family members to make changes in their lives in order to adjust to life without this family member. Raney and Charles had a hard time accepting the suicide of Uncle Nate. When Charles voiced his opinion that Uncle Nate was clearly depressed, obsessive-compulsive, and crippled from his life experiences, thus needing psychological help in order to heal, Raney took it as an insult. In Raney’s mind, Charles was placing blame on her, her family, and specifically, her mother who spent most of her time taking care of Uncle Nate.

I went to one Preschool, one Elementary School, three Middle Schools, one High School and this is my fourth College. I have also had my own relationship problems that have of course caused insecurity issues and trust issues. I honestly think if things would have been different in my childhood and early adult years I would not have anxiety issues. I have really debated whether going to see a therapist would help. I don't have a good relationship with either my dad nor mom and I think if things were to change
He believed that we all reach a crisis within each of the life stages. Erikson may have believed that Maria is coming to the end of the Young Adulthood stage in life, a stage which he considered ‘Relationships’ to be the important event in this stage. Maria is a single parent, and Erikson may see this as failure in relationships, which results in isolation and loneliness. Maria is affected by work and home life, causing her behaviour towards colleagues and her children to be sharp and snappy most of the time. This is because she is mentally and physically exhausted and drained where she never gives herself a break.

I have chosen ageism pertaining to older people (people over 65 years of age) as the area of discrimination for my ‘Difference and Diversity’ assignment. Though I have chosen older people to mean people over 65 years research from Age UK (2011) ‘A Snapshot of Ageism in the UK and across Europe’ shows that the perception of when old age starts in the UK is 59 years of age. With the exception of Turkey (55 years of age), in Europe the age range is between 60-68 years of age. I will attempt to define ageism/age discrimination, discuss its prevalence in UK society, compare and contrast differing perspectives and explanations for ageism and discuss the relevance to, and implications for social work practice. I will also discuss how this impact on services with focus on dignity and care of older people in social care and health services.
