@naomiberhe20 It's a shame that there are children that don't get treated for this. No one should have to live in fear of being separated. There's no reason for this issue to affect us in our adult lives.

One of the most interesting things within the reading was the theory that we have multiple intelligences based on certain things. It's amazing to think that we have could have different types of intelligence based on a specific area & not around our whole knowledge!
@jasmine__aac It also shows how different everyone is in their development. There may be some similar aspects in these parenting styles, but every parent is different, causing every child to be raised differently!

I found it to be very interesting as to how much we grow within the first five years of our lives. Being able to go from crying and babbling to showing emotions and speaking words all within a few years. It's amazing to see how we develop!
@manarnarrrr That's true! We can't force our own beliefs on people since they might think differently than we do. It's amazing to see how social workers can put aside their beliefs and focus on the client in an unbiased process!

Josie's case helped me realize that more teens need to be educated on pregnancy and its developmental stages. It's up to social workers to help provide these materials and knowledge for them so that these teens have a plan moving forward into their lives!
@TialRoselyne I absolutely agree with you and I see it for myself. Why should we have these beauty standards based on racial stereotypes? Everyone is beautiful in their own way. Someone's skin color should not make them ugly or beautiful, but rather the qualities that make them beautiful!

It's truly awful that we still have racism today and cultural racism theory definitely feeds into it. These stereotypes that put a negative light on other cultures is disgraceful. These cultures deserve better and should be treated equally with all other cultures.
@GessicaJomes It's true and I like seeing these social norms challenged so that they may be improved upon. It's good to have people who question these values so that everyone can agree upon acceptable social norms.
#UMBCSOWK388 Functionalist theory provides us with the view of society as one, living being we all keep alive. But, what about the people in poverty or homeless? Why are they not given the chances to provide to society? Why do we ignore them to achieve our stability?
@ndughly1 It's true that it's tough to figure out what could be done in Carlos' case, but instead of a punishment, maybe there can be a reward? Like, if he stops viewing the worse aspects of his life, he'll be rewarded with a new and better outlook on it!
#UMBCSOWK388 The social learning theory has been a real interest of mine for a while. It's so fascinating how people can act just based off of what they see from others!
@eschucker1 I really enjoyed the way you explained it as well! Everyone has a big milestone in their lives and Erikson's theory really shows how these milestones can help or hinder a person throughout their life!
#UMBCSOWK388 This week's reading really gave me an insight about our psychology, especially Erikson's theory. With Erikson's theory, it opens up how much development we experience in our lives and how much we need this development, otherwise we go down a downward spiral.
@seyermkschool I was thinking that too! I really want to see how much more innovated SW can become and how much more we can help a client to become content with themselves and their situation!

This week's reading has really helped me understand how depth is in one's life and how anything from it can be analyzed. The example with Juan has really shown that a lot of things can take over your life, some being a lot bigger than others!
