Write a reflection in response to one of the Week 4 videos linked to on Blackboard. The reflection should be two paragraphs. The first paragraph should recap a central point or argument made in the video. The second paragraph should reflect critically on the previously outlined point and make an original/critical observation. The reflection is worth 10 points. There are three gradations: (1) 10 points will be given to assignments that reflect adequate effort and thoughtfulness; (2) 6 points will be given to assignments that are completed but leave something to be desired (in terms of critical engagement with videos); (3) 3 points will be given to assignments that show a clear lack of effort.
It is important for those that are not employed to set aside time daily to look for employment. It is also advisable to volunteer since it helps to make contacts that may be useful in the future. Staying active is also important since it helps one to avoid the psychological problems and focus on other things other than just thinking of the problems that are coming along with unemployment. It is important for the parents to find mechanisms that will help them to cope with the problem in the best way possible to avoid affecting their families. In some cases, the children end up suffering from the same thing that the parents are suffering from. The psychological impact that is brought by unemployment should not be overlooked. If it is it can result in more harm. It is not always that the effects are temporarily they can at times turn to be permanent. This is because some of the feelings come with lasting effects.
