Community Resilience
In this unit, you will learn about resilience and the ability to bounce back from a disaster or emergency. Conceptually, the idea of resiliency makes a lot of sense: the faster you can bounce back after a disaster, the faster you can recover and get on with your life. While theories and concepts are fun to talk about, they offer little substance unless you can apply them. Therefore, the objective of this week’s assignment is to apply the concept of resilience to your personal life.
Task
Identify a way in which you can use the concept of resiliency in your personal life.
Purpose
Talking about disaster theories is fun, but theories are rather abstract. To apply them to a disaster scenario offers little help because the concepts remain abstract. Your paper should use expository writing to explain the abstract concept — resilience — by applying it to something personal in an effort to transition between abstraction and application.
End State
To be successful, a student should do the following:
Identify an area of their life where they could build resiliency. This can be based on a real or fictitious situation.
Identify the actions they would take to build resilience.
Discuss how being more resilient in this aspect of their life would benefit them, and explain the anticipated benefits of undertaking the resiliency efforts.
Identify any costs (tangible or intangible) of undertaking these efforts.
The length of the paper should be 3–4 pages, excluding cover page and references, Times Roman 12-point font.
