What are your reactions to Brittany’s choice?
Should this practice be legal?
Imagine if you were Brittany’s loved one. How would you respond? Would
you support her decision or try to change her mind?
PART B
Please read the following sections in your text:
Introduction to Death and Dying,
The Most Common Causes of Death
The Process of Dying, and 5 Stages of Loss
Palliative Care and Hospice and Bereavement and Grief
According to your text, there are five phases of grief through that people pass in
grappling with the knowledge that they or someone close to them is dying:
1. Denial: “I feel fine.” “This can’t be happening; not to me.”
2. Anger: “Why me? It’s not fair!” “How can this happen to me?” “Who is to
blame?”
3. Bargaining: “Just let me live to see my children graduate.” “I’d do
anything for a few more years.” “I’d give my life savings if…”
4. Depression: “I’m so sad, why bother with anything?” “I’m going to die.
What’s the point?” “I miss my loved ones — why go on?”
5. Acceptance: “I know my time has come; it’s almost my time.”
Please respond to the following questions:
1. Have you ever had to cope with the loss of a loved one? If so, what concepts
described in this section provide context that may help you understand your
experience and process of grieving? Provide a brief explanation of each of the
phases and how you navigated through them
(If you have not experienced the loss of a loved one, which concepts do you think
would provide context? )
2. If were you were diagnosed with a terminal illness would you choose hospice
care or a traditional death in a hospital ? Why?
PART C
Human Growth and Development focuses on human growth and development
over the lifespan! This course is important because it gives the student a
background in human growth and development from before birth, through
childhood, into adulthood, and through death and grief. By the end of this
course, students will walk away with a broad understanding of the processes
and influences affecting the developing person. The focus is on biological,
social, emotional, and intellectual aspects across the lifespan, and individual
application is emphasized.
Thus, to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of the 9-week course
content, you are being asked to create a “poster” or power point of your own
individual growth and development. For full credit, your poster should include:
✓ Name and Date of Birth (5 pts)
✓ Weight at time of birth (10 pts)
✓ Bonus points if you are able to accurately identify what type of labor and
delivery that your mom experienced when you were born: natural child
birth or C-section (+5 pts)
✓ Pictures of yourself or another person at the time of birth or as a newborn
and describe two developmental milestones for this age. (10 pts)
✓ Pictures of yourself or another person during the span from 1 month- 11
months and describe two developmental milestones for this age. (10 pts)
✓ Pictures of yourself or another person from 1-3 years old and describe two
developmental milestones for this age. (10 pts)
✓ Pictures of yourself or another person from 3-5 years old and describe two
developmental milestones for this age. (10 pts)
✓ Pictures of yourself or another person from 6-10 years old and describe
two developmental milestones for this age. (10 pts)
✓ Pictures of yourself or another person from 11-13 years old and describe
two developmental milestones for this age. (10 pts)
✓ Pictures of yourself or another person from 14-19 years old and describe
two developmental milestones for this age. (10 pts)
✓ Picture of yourself or someone 20-40 years old and describe two
developmental milestones for this age group. (10 pts)
✓ Picture of yourself or someone 40-65 years old and describe one
developmental milestone for this age group. (5 pts)
✓ Picture of someone 65 years and older and describe one developmental
milestone for this age group. (5 pts)
Be sure to label what age the picture is representing, and provide an
explanation. You do NOT have to have a picture for every month or every year
but at least ONE during each time frame/stage! As you can see, the more
pictures/stages you can find…the better!
