VALUES IN RELATION TO
POSTMODERNISM AND
SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIONSIM
Jeanie Bohall
Rachael Anderson

POSTMODERNISM
• Belief that:
• There is not one single way to look at things
• Everyone is individually unique

POSTMODERNISM
• Values and beliefs fit into postmodernism
• Some values are:
• Compassion
• Empathy
• Honesty

SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIONISM
• Belief that:
• How individuals come to understand the world
• Not everyone has the same outlook

SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIONISM
• Values and beliefs fit into social constructionism
• Some values are:
• Success
• Accountability
• Acceptance

VALUES
• Our values are not just views of ourselves, but our social interactions. Values are a
part of our knowledge and actions; they are embedded in our society, our
relationships, and our lives (Moules, 2000).

PERSONAL BELIEFS
• Our personal beliefs effect our every day interactions
• Family of Origin

SUCCESS
• Growth in different areas such as:
• Cultures
• Language
• Individuals with different beliefs than what we may have
• Success could be attributed to the growth in movements that are of minority groups
• LGBT
• Feminists

ACCOUNTABILITY
• Accountability can be seen as:
• Something that ensures fairness and equality
• Individualism for all
• Understanding that everyone has different outlooks on life

FORGIVENESS
• Postmodernism and social constructism are found in forgiveness
• All individuals need forgiveness
• When someone is able to forgive, it frees themselves of those burdens

COMPASSION
• Wisdom in being able to recognize suffering
• Individualizing for each person that is encountered

HONESTY
• Honesty is a value that a majority of individuals have
• Society has warped this value
• Golden Rule

EMPATHY
• One of the most important values
• Connects postmodernism and social constructionism
• Can bring people from all different backgrounds and beliefs together

ACCEPTANCE
• All individuals are unique and come with their own ideas
• Acceptance is something that is important to have with postmodernism and social
constructionism
• The feeling of being accepted is freeing and comforting

Social networks and social support play an important role in health outcomes. Theories developed in the 1950s that studied social relationships and how they impacted health. Four types of social network interventions were identified: 1) enhancing existing social ties, 2) developing new connections, 3) using community health workers, and 4) community problem solving. Studies show social support can buffer stress and improve recovery from illnesses like heart disease. Tailored interventions are most effective when they engage individuals and communities to address their specific needs and strengths.

Violence

RijoLijo

Violence can take many forms and have long-lasting negative impacts. It is defined by the WHO as the intentional use or threat of force that results in or has a high likelihood of injury, death, harm or deprivation. Violence has various causes such as media, substance abuse, unemployment, access to weapons, poverty and poor family environments. There are different types of violence including self-directed, interpersonal, and collective violence, each with subcategories. Prevention strategies include creating a national plan, improving data collection, prioritizing research, and promoting primary prevention responses.

Value education first unit

beatboxdeiva

This document discusses different types of values including intrinsic values like truth, goodness, and beauty versus instrumental values that are useful due to their consequences. Higher values are considered more self-sufficient and include aesthetic, religious, moral, and intellectual values, whereas lower values depend more on things like money, health, and friends. Whether pleasure and wealth or morality and emancipation are higher values depends on one's perspective as a realist, materialist, or spiritualist. Values can also be seen as permanent or temporary depending on their ability to be cultivated independently of other factors and influence all areas of life.

Recognising a Crisis

Simon Muir

This document discusses recognizing and responding to mental health crises. It defines a crisis as a brief psychological response to severe stress that confronts a person with circumstances outside their control. Crises can be developmental, situational, or complex. The typical phases of a crisis are impact, aftermath, and recovery. When supporting someone in crisis, it is important to assess for suicide or self-harm, provide reassurance and information, and encourage self-support. Professional support services that may help those experiencing a crisis include GPs, crisis resolution teams, A&E departments, crisis lines, and online resources.

MASLOW Finished PP FINAL

James P. Trubia

Abraham Maslow was an American psychologist who developed the theory of a hierarchy of needs consisting of physiological needs, safety needs, belongingness needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. He believed that people are motivated to fulfill basic needs before moving on to other needs. Maslow had a difficult childhood with unloving parents which influenced his interest in humanistic psychology and what motivates people.

1. Beliefs are formed from knowledge and information, with core beliefs being more permanent than dispositional beliefs. Contemporary approaches to beliefs include that common-sense understanding may be correct or useful but not entirely. 2. Values guide actions and are formed from various sources like family, peers, role models and institutions. Values are classified by types like terminal vs instrumental and categories like religious and social. 3. Attitudes are predispositions based on one's value system, with attitudes and values being interrelated but differing in that attitudes are personal while values come from social and cultural sources.

Humanistic Perspective (Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers)

GhummmanRimsha

The document provides an overview of the humanistic perspective in psychology. It discusses how humanism emerged in response to psychoanalysis and behaviorism, focusing on human potential and values. The goals of humanistic therapy are to help people develop a stronger sense of self, understand their feelings, and achieve their potential. Abraham Maslow contributed significantly through his hierarchy of needs theory and emphasis on self-actualization. Carl Rogers also made important contributions through his client-centered therapy approach and concepts of unconditional positive regard and the actualizing tendency. Humanistic therapies aim to help people fulfill their potential and find meaning.

This document discusses several important concepts for counselors to understand when interviewing and counseling clients from diverse backgrounds: 1) Culture provides a framework for how we understand the world and communicate, so it is important for counselors to understand their own culture as well as their clients' cultures. 2) Factors like gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, spirituality/religion, and family background deeply influence people's experiences and perspectives. 3) Counselors must work to understand their clients' lives and identities without bias or assumptions in order to build rapport and provide effective assistance.

The good life broadly and narrowly considered

Marston Pascasio

This document discusses different conceptions of the good life from the perspectives of psychology and folk concepts. Psychology implicitly defines the good life as the absence of mental illness and presence of happiness, though alternative constructs like meaning, autonomy, and purpose are also important. While happiness is correlated with desirable outcomes, it may not discriminate between truly good lives. The document also explores concepts like intrinsic motivation, flow, and cultural influences on well-being. It argues folk concepts provide valuable perspectives on what makes a life good by comparing them to psychological literature.

- Values play a central role in human behavior and are shaped by multiple social influences like family, education, and society. - Personal values are subjective priorities that guide people's evaluations and goals. They exist in hierarchies of importance. - Schwartz identified 10 universal value types including power, achievement, and benevolence that motivate human behavior. - Having a clear vision and purpose provides direction in life while various missions guide efforts to achieve goals. Values form the basis for human thoughts, actions, and sense of well-being or happiness.

Culture is shaped by the cumulative knowledge, beliefs, and objects acquired by a group over generations. There are two views of cultural determinism - one that sees people as products of their culture with no free will, and one that is more optimistic about human potential. Cultural relativism holds that no culture is intrinsically superior and each should be understood on its own terms. As technology increases cultural diffusion and leveling, reducing differences between societies, it also allows new forms of culture to emerge.

With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...

Leonel Morgado

Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects

Sérgio Sacani

Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is mitigated, at least in part.

Editor's Notes

Postmodernism is a movement that believes there are a multitude of cultures and ways of understanding the world (Moules, 2000). Postmodern approaches identifying strengths and resources that promote a hopeful future (Gehart, 2012). Even though this seems to be an innovate concept, it has been around for some time longer. This is just recently become more socially acceptable. For example, even in more school districts, you are able to see more teachers that teach where the child is at – opposed to the teacher lecturing at the students and them only receiving one learning style. It is important that individuals feel that they are heard and understood.
Core values and beliefs can be found in postmodernism. With the belief that everyone is unique and has their own ideas and traits, comes many different values. Compassion is important to explore how others will react to someone in a different walk of life than they are. Empathy can be seen through being in the moment with someone even though you may or may not understand or know exactly what to say. Honesty is important for all individuals if we are all wanting to feel heard and understood.
Social constructionism is a philosophy that explains how we describe and account for our lives and the lives of others (Gergen, 1985). Through our social interactions, our lives are constructed to change and improve (Moules, 2000). Individuals are shaped by their surroundings. This is very much a Marriage and Family Therapy idea since MFTs look at the context in which individuals and families are in and exposed to. This can change someone for the better or for worse – but two people could go through the same event and get two completely different outlooks on it.
Since social constructionism is how the surroundings and environment effects individuals, there are also values and beliefs that tie into this as well. Success can be dependent on how someone grows up, the opportunities that they are offered, and how they internalize their surroundings. Accountability is also something that can be learned in a culture growing up and can change as they get into adulthood. Acceptance is a large part of culture and the environment in which someone is exposed to. These can shape a person and can have long term affects.
Everyone has values that they learn and/or adopt through their lifetime. These values could come from the family that they grew up in, friends that they had, and/or experiences that helped to shape who they are today. Values are what help define a person and what matters to them.
The beliefs that we were taught and grew up to put our faith in come largely from our family of origin. The situations and experiences that we go through as individuals shape who we become. Beliefs could be linked to some values and vice versa. Religion and faith is something that comes along with these two main concepts, although they do not have to be linked to these.
Social construct attends to political actions and social responsibilities (Modules, 2000). We create the concept of self by activities and processes between people (Modules, 2000), and with that comes success in the influence of cultures and languages.
In a postmodern perspective, accountability is used in our ethical decisions (Moules, 2000). "These values call us to evaluate our relationships and to be accountable, responsible, and committed to them" (Moules, 2000, p. 237). Through our power, we have a responsibility and obligation to regard the world and its differences (Moules, 2000).
Forgiveness is something that is very difficult to do, yet very powerful and freeing when done properly. Forgiveness can be explained as an act that is done when someone has done something wrong, yet it also is for the forgiver – maybe even more so. If someone is unable to forgive, they will harbor this burden forever. Once they are able to forgive, it may not make it easier for a while, but they are able to lift that weight and let it go.
Compassion offers us wisdom in recognizing suffering, along with the obligation to do something about it (Moules, 2000). In a postmodern aspect, this value teaches us acceptance and tolerance for difference (Moules, 2000). We have power and with that power comes compassion, wisdom, and responsibility (Moules, 2000).
The desire for honesty comes from the environment someone grew up in and/or the beliefs that were instilled in them. With society, there have been mixed views on honesty. One of which being, “What they don’t know won’t hurt ‘em”. This could be detrimental to a family if someone is not being honest about something that has happened. If you would want someone to be honest with you, then you should be honest with them. Depending upon the culture and/or situation, this can be done in a loving way or said so that the other person could be receptive of it.
Not all individuals have the gift of empathy. This value is one of the most important values because it brings together all of the ideas, beliefs, values, and models. Empathy is a very powerful attribute to have. Someone can show empathy to another and they may have never been put in that situation before, but they can sit and be present and feel those feelings with another.
Postmodernism teaches us acceptance and tolerance for differences (Moules, 2000). No one individual's ideas are one size fits all. We have the freedom to believe in what we want, as long as we understand and accept that our beliefs are our prerogative and not an exact truth for the world (Moules, 2000)
