Applying Social Systems Theory
In module 1’s content, you learned about systems theory. In this reflection paper, you are to identify 2 social systems (e.g. family, workplace, friendship group, religious community, school, military community, etc.) which currently influence how you feel about yourself and/or how you function each day. (You will want to choose the 2 most significant systems in your life right now.)
NOTE: Make sure your reflection answers these questions on both of your chosen systems.
My Systems
- Describe briefly these systems (using key terms of social systems theory).
- Examples to cover:
- Who are the members of this system?
- Is it an open or closed system?
- What are the boundaries in this system?
- Is there a hierarchy in the system?
- What role(s) do you play in each system?
- Discuss the input and output of that system and the feedback (negative and positive) that you receive from that system. Reflection
Close with a critical reflection on how these 2 systems (plus maybe others) intersect in your life and define who you are and how you see youself
