SCI220-09 Week 11 Discussion Post – Lymphatic System

Week 11: Discussion

For this discussion, answer the following question thoroughly.

Even though the lymphatic system is a component of the circulatory system, why is the term circulation not the most appropriate term to describe the flow of lymph?
How would you describe the flow?
Now, explain how lymph is formed. What would be the impact on lymph formation if the osmotic force at the venous end of the capillary was more successful at recovering fluid lost at the arterial end?

5. “The proposed no-smoking ordinance in our town will violate a number of our citizens’ civil rights, and no one has proved secondary smoke is dangerous anyway.”

THE PERSONAL APPLICATION ASSIGNMENT (PAA)

The personal application assignment is based on Kolb’s model (1971) of experiential learning. The use of this model can help solve the problem of performance assessment. The model argues that learning occurs through a process which might begin with a concrete experience, which leads to reflective observation about the experience. Abstract conceptualization follows in which models, paradigms, strategies, and metaphors are applied to the results of the experience. Active experimentation concludes the cycle as the concepts are then put into practice, thus generating new concrete experience.
Choosing a good topic is essential. Select an experience that relates to the assigned course topics. It should be an experience that you would like to understand better, (e.g. there was something about it that you do not totally understand, that intrigues you, that made you realize that you lacked certain managerial skills, or that was problematical or significant for you.) The topic must be meaty enough to take it through the entire learning cycle. I recommend identifying your “plot” and then outlining the paper across all four elements to see if this topic will work. The incident does not have to be work related; an incident in any setting (sport teams, school, family, club, church, etc.) that relates to the course topics is acceptable.
Elements of the PAA
1. Concrete experience (5 points) – in this section the student describes what happened in the experience. It possesses an objective and a subjective component. The feelings experienced by the student as well as his or her thoughts and perceptions during the experience are important to set the context. Helpful hints: (1) Replay the experience in your mind, then write a report of what you saw, heard, felt, thought as well as what others were doing. (2) Avoid detailed mechanics of the experience unless they are critical to the paper. (3) Avoid reporting the feelings and thoughts experienced after the experience being described.

2. Reflective Observation (5points) – Ask yourself, what did I observe in the experience and what possible meanings could these observations have? The key here is to gather as many observations as possible by observing the experience from different points of view. This is called perspective taking or what some people call “re-framing.” You can include how others viewed the situation, however don’t ask them now. Would a neutral observer have seen or heard anything else? Look beneath the surface and try to explain why the people involved behaved the way they did. Reflect on these observations to discover the personal meaning that the situation had for you. Helpful hints: (1) Discuss the experience with others to gain their views and clarify your perceptions. (2) Unhook yourself from the experience and meditate about it in a relaxed atmosphere. Mull over your observations until their personal meaning comes clear to you. Try to figure out why people, and you in particular, behaved as they did. What can you learn about yourself, looking back on the experience?

3. Abstract Conceptualization (5 points) – by relating assigned readings and lectures to what you experienced, you are demonstrating your ability to understand conceptually abstract material through your experience. Use at least two concepts or theories from the course readings. Provide the source for each reference in the following manner (George & Jones, pg. 157). This is also a place where you can insert your own personally developed theories if they help you in making sense of the experience. First, briefly describe the concept or theory as you would for someone who was not familiar with it. Next, apply the concept thoroughly to your experience. The tie-in should include the specific details of how the theory relates to and provides insight into your experience. Does the experience support or refute the theory? Avoid merely providing a book report of what you read. Helpful hints: (1) It is sometimes useful to identify theoretical concepts first and then search out and elaborate on an experience that relates to these concepts. (2) A slightly more difficult approach is to reverse the above procedure and search out those concepts that apply to your “raw” experience.

4. Active Experimentation (5 points) – this section of the paper should summarize both the practical lessons you have learned from this experience and the action steps you plan to work on. Begin this section with a paragraph on the lessons you have learned and identify them as lessons for the reader. Next, please present four action steps that will increase your future effectiveness. These actions should relate back to the previous sections of the paper. You can state them in the form of guidelines as to how you would act differently or detailed resolutions you could take to develop or practice. Be specific and thorough. Don’t just repeat tips from the book. Include one action that is based upon new knowledge that you gained about yourself as a result of writing this paper. If you were to relive this situation what would you do differently next time? Helpful hints: (1) Project a future experience in which you envision the implementation of your ideas and then elaborate on that experience as a way of demonstrating how your actions will be carried out. (2) Where does this situation exist in your life? Do you need a support system to make it happen? How will you obtain the cooperation of others? (3) Try to imagine the final results of your experimentation

Middle School Scenario

Early to middle childhood span several years. Social development and peer groups become more important for them. Anxiety of school, peers, and caregivers can begin to weigh on these children.

For this assignment, first, read the case scenario below. Then, review the professional literature to identify a creative strategy/intervention (e.g., bibliotherapy, game) that might be helpful for “Claire”. Finally, after you’ve identified a strategy that both interests you and is appropriate for Claire, write a paper to address the questions/prompts presented in the outline below. Use APA (7th ed.) formatting for your paper, include the 3 sections denoted in the outline, cite at least one professional source (e.g., textbook, peer-reviewed journal article), and ensure that all cited sources are documented in the list of references. Early to middle childhood span several years. Social development and peer groups become more important for them. Anxiety of school, peers, and caregivers can begin to weigh on these children.

Claire’s Case

Claire is a 10-year-old biracial female. You have seen her once before and now you are deciding how to work with her. Her parents are going through a divorce after her father cheated on her mother with another woman. Her mother and father do not get along but they are willing to work together for Claire. You find that when you talk to Claire, her mother tells her a lot of information about her father’s cheating. This makes Claire feel in the middle as well as protective of her mother. She says she does not like being with her father. You notice that perhaps she wants to spend more time with him but worried that her mother will be mad at her. She is also experiencing a lot of anxiety at school with grades and she thought she saw her father with the other woman at her school one time. Her father assures you that he has never brought anyone to the school and does not admit that he has a girlfriend. Claire’s grades are going down as she was an A/B student but now getting Cs and Ds on some tests. Her mother says she no longer wants to do any extracurricular activities (she played soccer and the violin). She wants to stay at home with her mother. When you talk with Claire about what she does with her mother she says she enjoys watching movies with her but her mother is busy on the computer, on her phone, or doing stuff around the house like folding laundry. When she has to see her father they sometimes play outside but mostly he plays video games which they sometimes play together. Sometimes they watch movies but Claire notices her father on the phone smiling. She is almost certain this is the “other woman.” When this happens, Claire wants to go home immediately. She starts to feel sick: stomach hurts and head hurts especially.
