Describe Hannah's story. How did she put her top character strengths to good use? Hannah is a fashion designer and a mother of 2 sons. She was beginning to feel disconnected from her life due to several reasons. Her mother passed away, her sons were becoming increasingly independent, making her feel as if she was not needed anymore, her work felt boring and meaningless and the intimacy between her and her husband was diminishing. While confiding with her friend, Hannah was told to take a test which would tell her about her best qualities and characteristic strengths. This resulted in her top 5 strengths being kindness, honesty, curiosity, gratitude and humour. She used kindness and honesty in her conversations with her husband, sharing her issues and opinions about their relationship in a kind manner. She used her curiosity to drive creative ideas by searching for new and unique designs, ensuring that her work did not feel meaningless anymore. She also placed gratitude in her life by being grateful for her capacity and commitment to design clothing and began appreciating her children’s positive qualities and growing independence. Furthermore, she placed humour in her conversations with her children to offer playfulness and bond more with them. In using her top 5-character strengths in her everyday life, this boosted her outlook on her life and increased her excitement for the future. Briefly describe each of the 4Rs in your own words what is meant by how to be critical. The 4Rs Model of reflective thinking include report, relate, reason and reconstruct. Report is a descriptive element that encourages the description of an initial response and the recounting of the experience itself. Relate refers to making connections with similar experiences you’ve had or using your own knowledge to make connections. Reason infers a discussion on the experiences and how there is creation of new knowledge. It also encourages the discussion of different perspectives and evidence to support a newfound understanding about the experience. Reconstruct is about how the reporting, relating and reason impact future practices. It enables a different perspective on how you will act in the future with the new findings and why you choose to act in that specific way. Being critical in an academic context refers to analysing the advantages and disadvantages of any information. It proposes that students should not agree with everything we are given to read, but instead, question the resources. To critically analyse is to see both sides of a topic and choose a stronger argument, whilst not forgetting that the weaker argument is neither incorrect nor false.
