provide a description and analysis of how death haunts us.

Death and Dying: Sociological Perspectives
First Reflective Assignment
Fall 2022

In this first reflective assignment, I want you to provide a description and analysis of how death haunts us. The description and analysis will involve a focus on a character (or characters) from film, TV, or literature. In particular, the description and analysis revolve around the struggles and conflicts that the person experiences as he/she attempts to deal with death and its haunting nature.

You are free to discuss any aspect of how death surrounds us and the haunting nature of death as long as you first, provide an introduction to the paper that informs the reader what your paper will be about, who you will be writing about, and how death has a significant impact on the person about whom you write.

Second, I would like you to incorporate selective concepts or ideas from class (your choice), readings, or your own imagination that can inform your analysis. You are also free to borrow from other sources—but remember to cite or give credit to any source from which you borrow.

Third, provide a substantial conclusion to the paper that answers the broad question: how does the reality of death in and of itself have an impact on the way we view life? There are no absolute answers to this question—feel free to be as interpretative as you can be.

The paper must be typed, double spaced, and should be between 5-6 pages. It can be longer.

Please feel free to ask any questions you want regarding this assignment.

Describe how family systems theory can be applied to solicit changes in family members that, in turn, initiate positive changes to the overall family functions over time.

Understanding family structure and style is essential to patient and family care. Conducting a family interview and needs assessment gathers information to identify strengths, as well as potential barriers to health. This information ultimately helps develop family-centered strategies for support and guidance.
This family health assessment is a two-part assignment. The information you gather in this initial assignment will be utilized for the second assignment in Topic 3.
Develop an interview questionnaire to be used in a family-focused functional assessment. The questionnaire must include three open-ended, family-focused questions to assess functional health patterns for each of the following:
Values/Health Perception
Nutrition
Sleep/Rest
Elimination
Activity/Exercise
Cognitive
Sensory-Perception
Self-Perception
Role Relationship
Sexuality
Coping
Select a family, other than your own, and seek permission from the family to conduct an interview. Utilize the interview questions complied in your interview questionnaire to conduct a family-focused functional assessment. Document the responses as you conduct the interview.
Upon completion of the interview, write a 750-1,000-word paper. Analyze your assessment findings. Submit your questionnaire as an appendix with your assignment.
Include the following in your paper:
Describe the family structure. Include individuals and any relevant attributes defining the family composition, race/ethnicity, social class, spirituality, and environment.
Summarize the overall health behaviors of the family. Describe the current health of the family.
Based on your findings, describe at least two of the functional health pattern strengths noted in the findings. Discuss three areas in which health problems or barriers to health were identified.
Describe how family systems theory can be applied to solicit changes in family members that, in turn, initiate positive changes to the overall family functions over time.
