Child development II,  Personal Reflection Assignment Description

BOOK TO UTILIZE is THE DEVELOPING PERSON THROUGH the LIFESPAN
BERGER ELEVENTH EDITION

Students will focus on the course materials and how the information from the course is related to their own lives. Reflections, for our purposes, are designed to answer three general questions. 1). What happened? 2). What did/do I think/feel about what happened? 3). How does it relate to the concepts from the text? These reflections will be guided reflections, focused on a specific topic related to the course material, as follows:
Emerging AdulthoodIntimacy vs. Isolation
This reflection requires that you explore your experience with intimacy or isolation during your emerging adulthood years. You will need to discuss two non-romantic and non-sexual relationships. Describe the relationships and explain how intimacy was demonstrated. If you experienced isolation in relationships, you will describe and discuss that instead. Note that as you are giving examples of “intimacy” (or “isolation”) in the relationships you’ve chosen, you must include and discuss a majority (more than half) of the qualities listed for either status.
Intimacy: the desire and ability to fuse one’s identity with another and engage in “the mutuality of mature devotion”, the ability to “love”.
    Concrete affiliations
    Ethical strength
    Sacrifice/Compromise
    Vulnerability
    Self-understanding
    Self-expansion
    Mutual caregiving
    Secrets shared/kept
    Forgiveness
    Empathy
Isolation: the fear of remaining separate and unrecognized, the retreat into promiscuity or “exclusivity”
    Self-protection
    Self-absorption
    Avoidance/ambiguity about lifestyles, values, relationships
    Jealousy
    Loneliness
    Dishonesty
    Inability to compromise, compete, or cooperate
When you write, remember that you cannot be in both “intimacy” and “isolation”. You can move from one to the other over the course of time, but you cannot be in both. Choosing to separate yourself from an individual that was once a friend is NOT an example of “isolation”. When you isolate, you demonstrate several of the characteristics listed above in all your relationships. Please keep these distinctions in mind when you write.
