Assignment Description: Drawing on relevant reading and your own experiences, discuss your understanding of the quotation below and its implications for anti-oppressive practice in youth work, community and criminal justice and community development.

Order Description

You have to write the assignment on two separated components:

component 1: describe the paper topic in 3500 words.
the quotation that mentioned on the paper topic is:
“Only an understanding of internalisation makes sense of the incredible fact that most external controls work most of the time for most people in society. Society not only controls our movements, but shapes our identities, our thoughts and our emotions. The structures of society become the structure of our own consciousness. Society does not stop at the surface of our skins. Society penetrates us as much as it envelops us.” (Berger 1966, p. 140)

Assessment Criteria:

Your assignment should demonstrate:

1- Understanding of the nature and structure of oppression and internalised oppression.

2- Understanding of the principles and values of anti-oppressive practice.

3- Ability to use theoretical perspectives and social policy to inform thinking and discussion about oppression and anti-oppressive practice.

4- Ability to analyse the impact of one’s own personal and professional values on one’s practice as a youth worker, community and criminal justice worker or community development worker.

5- Integrated use of a wide-ranging and appropriate literature to substantiate a relevant and coherent discussion.

6- Clear structure and presentation including use of language, grammar, spelling and punctuation; and accurate citation and referencing.

Component 2 include 500 words reflection

There is an expectation that students will demonstrate their ability to integrate theory and analyse it alongside their practice experience. A minimum of 3 references is suggested with a reference list at the end of the reflection, referenced using the Harvard Style. Students may draw links with the wider theory, values and principles of youth work and/or community work.

The reflection will take the form of a recording and focus on a specific aspect of practice relevant to the module. (See example below)

Field Practice Reflection Format Example Using the EPIC Model:

? Example.

? Point.

? Interpret.

? Consider.

For each of your module reflections, the following format should be followed:

Date / Time: (of the session or event you are writing about).
Statements Evidenced: Look at the practice statements when you have finished writing the recording and list those you feel you have covered. You may cover a range of practice areas in each recording. For example:

1. Work with young people and communities

2. Work with staff and other agencies

3. Development of Service Provision

4. Management and Leadership.

(EXAMPLE) Observation: Briefly describe a situation you have chosen to discuss for reflection. What happened during the session or situation you are recording –a focused factual record. No theory in this section.

? (POINT) – Introduce your point for discussion – be focused and specific. What were the circumstances/what happened? There can be 1 or more points listed here.

? (INTERPRET / REFLECTION – 500 word limit) – What did you

learn that was effective/not so effective? Integrate theory to support these actions/observations? (i.e., analysis underpinned by theory.)

? (CONSIDER) – What have you learnt from this event/activity? What would you maintain, improve or change and why? Specify clear points of action for the future.

? From my learning so far in other modules and other reading, what theory can I apply to my thoughts? What theories do I know that relate to my experience? What do the theories suggest to me – reflect, analyse and debate.

References: A list of references used in the reflection and analysis section. This is the same as for any other assignment.

Questions to help INTERPRETATION / REFLECTION Section:

? How does the situation make me feel?

? How did I perform?
? What could I have done differently and why?

? Am I making links to theory?

? Am I considering anti-oppressive perspectives?
