Discussion 1
Regardless of education, individuals entering the workforce will
spend, on average, one third of the week at work. Work
encompasses a large part of an individual’s life, and society
often places great importance on selecting a career that aligns to
one’s talents, interests, abilities, and needs. While the theories
surrounding the process of career selection vary, many experts
identify this type of self-knowledge as a key marker for career
success and fulfillment.
For this Discussion, you will reflect on the developmental
significance of work and career. You will also consider how a
career in the counseling field can add meaning to your life.
Post by Day 3
an explanation of the developmental significance and meaning
of work and career. Use two theories in this week’s Learning
Resources to support your post. Finally, explain how your
decision to pursue the counseling profession may add meaning
to your life.
Discussion 2
Pair bonding is globally acknowledged as the life-long,
monogamous relationship that many individuals strive to
achieve. With roots in attachment theory, pair bonding in
adulthood has been viewed as following a developmental pattern
similar to that which individuals experience with primary
caregivers. Fraley and Shaver (2000) noted that “adults
typically feel safer and more secure when their partner is
nearby, accessible, and responsive” (p. 132). A pair bond can
provide a sense of security—an emotional “shelter” and safe
place in which one can be vulnerable. Pair bonding is
biologically driven. Its manifestations vary widely depending
on individual life experiences, expectations, and constructs
about self and others.
With this in mind, think about whether you believe adult pair
bonding is the same as marriage. If pair bonding is a biological,
innate part of being human, why might so many marriages and
relationships fail?
For this Discussion, review the Learning Resources and
consider influences on and motivations for pair bonding.
Post by Day 4
a description of two influences on or motivations for pair
bonding. Then, explain two benefits and two challenges in
maintaining stable, long-term relationships in adulthood. Be
sure to include how environmental and/or socio-cultural
influences impact pair bonding. Finally, explain how
relationship challenges may motivate individuals to seek
assistance from a counselor. Justify your response with theories
from the Learning Resources and current literature.
