Evaluate the nature-nurture debate in relation to the development of an individual
BND Health and Social Care Unit 4- Development through the life stages D1- Evaluate the nature-nurture debate in relation to the development of an individual Is a person's development mainly influenced by their biological inheritance? Or could the majority of the influence be found in the person's environment? Questions similar to these are possibly one of the oldest theories debated, mainly in psychology (Bee, 2004). This is known as the nature versus nurture debate. Nowadays it has been accepted many that most parts of a person's development are shaped by the interaction of both nature and nurture. This can be said because both sides of the nature/nurture argument provide strong evidence on how each fact influences development. Each side also takes into account very important details and good explanations for reasons in which nurture or nature control how we develop. (A.Bell, 2002). A nature account of development, which is also known as heredity, focuses on what someone is born with or traits which have been passed down from parents through your genes. Some examples of nature (or heredity) could be eye colour, height and behaviour. It is believed to determine an individual's personality, appearance and other traits because of the fact that it is all genetically down. ( M.Eysenick, 2004) The effect of nature in relation to an individual's development can be shown in the
Describe reasons why individuals may experience additional needs.
Mia Nicole Lock BTEC N/D in Health and Social Care Year 2 Unit 26 - Karen James Assignment 1 Caring for individuals with additional needs P1. Describe reasons why individuals may experience additional needs. There are many different factors that cause additional needs. Causes can be due to genetic, developmental, environmental, accident or other factors. Genetic factors Down syndrome is one of the most known genetic causes. It occurred in 23.81 per 10,000 births in the UK back in 2002 (University of Ulster, 2003) (http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/d/down_syndrome/stats.htm) Everyone has 23 pairs of chromosomes in each cell, 46 altogether with one of each pair coming from the mother and father. For Down syndrome to be present an extra chromosome is formed taking their total to 47, professor Jerome Lejeune discovered this. Down syndrome was first described in 1866 by a Dr John Langdon Down; this is how Down syndrome got its name. This particular genetic factor is also present in a baby from the moment of conception. The cause for the extra chromosome is still unknown and there is also no cure for the condition. Although it is not known why this happens, we do know that babies have a much higher risk of Down syndrome when they are born to older mothers.

There are five pass criteria's to this assessment, which consists of two passes, one merit and two distinctions. The assessment focuses on how communication skills are used and their effectiveness. Task 1 (D2) Analyse how communication in health and social care settings assists patient/service users and other key people. The following observations were done in a 70-bed residential care/nursing home with a separate EMI unit, which caters for the mentally ill. There are two floors, each one a mirror image of the other. On each floor there are 35 bedrooms, 20 in the main part and 15 in the EMI unit. There is a resident's lounge on each floor that has a conservatory on the end where the residents who smoke can sit. In each lounge there is a central fireplace, a television at one end and a display cabinet at the other end, which has a music system on it. There are approximately 20 reclining chairs
Describe the main reasons why children and young people may need to be looked after away from their families? Describe health and social care service provision for looked-after children and young people
UNIT 10: CARING FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE P1) Describe the main reasons why children and young people may need to be looked after away from their families? In order to answer this criterion I am going to describe the main reasons why children and young people may need to be looked after and kept away from their families. We use the term 'looked after' when we arrange for children to live away from their families, either as part of a voluntary arrangement under the 1989 Children Act, or as the result of a care order under the 1989 Children Act. Often this can be a short term break and other times it can a long term break depending on the circumstances of the family and the child's personal needs. Children's Act 1989 The Children Act 1989 is designed to facilitate to keep children safe and well and, if necessary, help a child to live with their family by providing services which fits correctly to the child's needs. The Children Act 1989 covers the following: * Improvements to the law relating to children; * Makes provision for local authority services for children in need and others; * Amends the law with respect to children's homes, community home, voluntary homes and voluntary organisations; * Makes provision with respect to fostering, child minding and day care for young children and adoption, and for connected purposes. Often a child or a young person
Describe and Discuss Two Alternative Psychological Approaches To Abnormal Behaviour
Anne Bingham Health and Welfare (Abnormal Behaviour) DESCRIBE AND DISCUSS TWO ALTERNATIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO ABNORMAL BEHAVIOUR The word psychology is derived from two Greek words, psyche which means mind, soul or spirit and logos which means study. When the two are put together it means 'study of the mind', hence the word psychology. Different psychologists take different approaches towards abnormal behaviour. The main four approaches are: psychodynamic, behaviourist, cognitive, humanist. None of these approaches are either wrong or right, they are merely just different ways of dealing with different people's problems. We will concentrate on two of these approaches: cognitive and psychodynamic and look at the therapies involved in treating patients with various psychological abnormalities, and the therapists who helped develop the approaches. The cognitive approach concentrates on changing the way a person thinks about themselves or their environment and other people. Cognitions are a combination of faulty thoughts and the incapability to make good decisions, which lead to depression and anxiety. By changing the way people think and see things, alters their whole perspective on life and therefore makes them better. Optimistic people are less likely to become depressed as they look on the bright side and envisage everything around them as being good or there
Health and safety in sport
Health and safety in sport. Health and safety plays a big part in any work organisation, especially in a sports organisation with all the extra equipment and chemicals that are used for sport. The health and safety act work 1974 was replaced in 1992 and again in 1999 by the management of health and safety at work regulations. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 outline how employers should achieve the requirements defined under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. The main requirement of these Regulations is for sports organizations such as Gateshead stadium and St James Park to carry out an assessment of the risks associated with their activities before the activities take place. Sport plays a major part in the personal, social and physical development of young people. All young people should have the opportunity to develop those skills and be able to participate in sport and leisure activities in an environment free from discrimination an without risk to there personal health and safety. Gateshead stadium and St James Park are sports grounds and are under a another act the safety of sports act 1975 and also the Fire Safety and Safety of Places of Sport Act 1987 are concerned with addressing risks to spectators at sports grounds but not with the risks to participants, who are normally covered by the general requirements of the Health and
Health And Social Care Coursework
Group Interaction Work Context My Group interaction consisted of me being put in place of someone in the medical profession talking to a group of people about recent treatments/illnesses. I chose to speak to a group of children in their playroom in a nursery. My interaction took place in a playroom which held many different barriers for me to think about and plan before my interaction took place. I laid the furniture that was available to avoid as many barriers as I could. Also having a range of ages in my group would need to be considered because some would have longer attention spans than others. I laid out the playroom as shown in the diagram below. I wanted to set out so I catered for all ages ranging from 3-7. I only wanted to keep the children there for 5 minutes because of their differing attention spans. As my diagram indicates I set out the playroom very carefully. I laid it out in this way for many of the same reasons as for my one to one. Refer back to my one to one for those reasons. In addition I asked the children where they would like to sit, at the table or on the pillows. They said they wanted to sit at the pillows. This is an example of empowerment because the children can control their own situations and control what choices they make. I also chose to sit on a pillow as well rather than a chair so I was at their level. If I was in a chair it would show a
Explain the role of effective communication and interpersonal interaction in a health and social care context.
Glodie Musuele unit 1 p1 P1 Explain the role of effective communication and interpersonal interaction in a health and social care context. Informal communication When we use informal communication, it is normally when we are communicating with friends colleagues and also family. When using informal language it can sometimes make it harder to communicate and understand. For example when people are texting or even talking or on a chat forums. A lot of people might use this kind of language through arguments or debates. The meaning of context is the different places in which communication can take place in. Informal communication is the way that you would communicate or talk to someone you knows really well. Sometimes you may use words that other people won’t understand with family members or friends. Just like in certain areas or communities there might be a certain way that the people from there would talk, for example someone in the south of England might say ‘hey mate how’s it going?’ this might not be seen as a welcoming thing in a different community. Certain people wouldn’t be able to understand certain informal words so that is why you sometimes have to adjust your use of language. I observed an informal interaction between two 4 year olds, who
Explain the nature of two named physiological disorders. Heart disease and Breast Cancer
Unit 14: Physiological Disorders. P1: Explain the nature of two named physiological disorders. This unit covers physiological disorders. Physiological disorders can be defined as a malfunction within the body’s organs or systems causing illness, it is a physical condition that prevents the body from functioning normally. The two different physiological disorders I will be talking about are Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and Cancer of the breast. Coronary heart disease is the buildup of plaque such as cholesterol and other fatty substances within the coronary arteries causing a reduced or no supply of oxygen to the heart. The process of plaque lining the coronary arteries is called arteriosclerosis. Coronary heart disease can be caused and triggered by many different factors. Some of which include; Smoking, smokers are at twice the risk of having a heart attack compared to individuals that have never smoked. It is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease such as coronary heart disease; High blood pressure, blood pressure can become dangerous the higher it gets. An increase of blood pressure is an increase of the force of blood against the walls of the arteries, and the higher the blood pressure the higher the likelihood the walls of the arteries can become damaged. This can lead to stiffness of the arteries making them less flexible which can lead to the buildup
Personal and professional development - my learning influences and career choices
Ella Hastings Personal and professional development Task1 P1: Some learning influences may have barriers that will affect each individual in some way. One influence may be friends, friends may influence you in a positive way such as; motivating you, helping you with your work, the way you act (in class), being positive you can do things, and also sharing your learning experience with you. However the influence of friends does have some negatives such as; not allowing you to do/complete work, making you go out with them (e.g. to a party on the weekend), making you lazy, not allowing you to reach the deadline of assignments and also friends can shape your behaviour in a learning environment. Another influence may be social networking sites; websites such as Facebook and Twitter by choice have overtaken many young people’s lives so they have again both positive and negative effects. Some individuals use slang consistently through facebook and also texting, this will have a negative effect on their learning process as they may find it harder to understand correct grammar so therefore delaying there learning process. Social networking may also have a positive influence in our learning process because it changes the way we communicate with other and speak. For example there are people who cannot communicate face to face, so they find it easy to communicate on social
