1) From the video selection, identify an individual from which
to develop a case study or a story. You may use a specific
example found within your selected video or use information
to create a fictional case study.
2) Summarize the case from the perspective of the person in
their environment. Examine the person’s life from the Micro,
Mezzo, and Macro perspectives and describe the kinds of
influences that may have led to this person’s situation for
each level of influence.
For example:
• Micro: Consider the personality, emotions, beliefs,
behaviors, goals interests, mental health, and strengths and
weaknesses.
• Mezzo: Next, consider any small groups in which they
interact such as family, peer groups, social groups, sports
groups, or any other small groups in which they are involved.
• Macro: Consider any groups in which they have been
involved, any organizations, and their community. This could
include business, church, neighborhood, school, or other
agencies or larger entities.
