Graded Unit

As part of my Higher National Certificate course in healthcare I am required to provide evidence of achieving the following principle aims in the form of a graded unit;

The conflict perspective, or conflict theory, derives from the ideas of Karl Marx, who believed society is a dynamic entity constantly undergoing change driven by class conflict. Conflict theorists generally see social change as abrupt, even revolutionary, rather than incremental (https://courses.lumenlearning.com).

From a sociological perspective, the conflict theory focuses on opposing interests of groups and the struggle to agree on norms and over the control of scarce resources. It is very well known that people have their own definitions for things, different cultures, religions and values all come into account. Certain behaviors are defined as deviant or acceptable by powerful groups and because of failure of consensus with the other groups, conflict arises. When people in a position try to enforce conformity, this creates resistance and resentment; the result is a constant struggle throughout society to determine who has authority over what. The choice to abort or to choose life is either a life-saver to some or a crime to others. The conflict perspective

I’m currently studying HNC Care & Administrative Practice (Clinical Route) which involves doing placement hours at a local hospital and complete a Graded Unit which consists of three stages: planning, development and evaluation. In the planning process I must complete and develop a plan to show that I can help a patient I have chosen with a nursing activity. After having a meeting with my mentor to discuss which patient we felt would be a suitable candidate for me to complete this task with, I gained consent from him. I also gained consent from the patient after explaining what and why I was doing the activity, and all information about her would be kept confidential. For this matter I will refer to the

Conflict Theory was "influenced by Karl Marx's socioeconomic view of the elite exploiting the masses." (Parillo 12). The conflict perspective focuses on the inequalities that create racial and ethnic tensions between groups. In contrast to the fundamentalist's emphasis on stability, conflict theorists maintain, "Racism has much to do with maintaining power and controlling resources." Society is seen as being continually involved in struggles and disagreements as diverse groups struggle over limited resources. The system is hierarchical and characterized by social inequality. Conflict theorists argue that the rich and powerful force social order on the poor and weak and that existing social patterns benefit some people while depriving others. "Conflict theorists

A sociological imagination is the idea of how a personal experience can affect society as a whole. At some point a personal issue becomes a public issue. Conflict theory is the idea of competition over limited resources such as money. The theory is about domination and power rather than peace and cooperation. Those with power and wealth try to maintain that position by suppressing those without. The United States poverty is most easily explained by the conflict theory because in the US, the wealthy stay wealthy and the poor stay poor due to suppression.

Conflict Theory – Macro level – This is built off of resources, status and power that is not evenly distributed throughout groups in our

Subsequent thinkers have described different versions of conflict theory; a common theme is that different social groups have unequal power, though all groups struggle for the same limited resources. Conflict theory has been used to explain diverse human behavior, such as educational practices that either sustain or challenge the status quo, cultural customs regarding the elderly, and criminal behavior.

As a HNC Health Care student I am required to provide evidence of the following principal aims and objectives: to integrate knowledge, theory and practice, to develop and apply a broad knowledge and skills and to have an individual patient/client focus in my practice. To achieve all of the above I am required to complete project in a form of Graded Unit which consists of three stages: planning, development and evaluation.

For my solo piece for graded unit I feel like I was not heavily influenced by any of the research I had done. I tried as much as possible to make it about me as a choreographer and what my personal style is. I have been influenced by choreographers in my life which have made me the dancer I am, but my aim was not to draw on one specific person or company for ideas or inspiration. I did research more into the event that my solo is about however. As it is about the Via Dolorosa and Jesus I looked into the stations of the cross, and what the road of sorrows actually looks like in Jerusalem. This influenced some of my movements and the spacing of my dance. In the solo I purposely fall three times, each time struggling more to get back onto my feet, like Jesus did during the passion. I also travel downstage in a diagonal line, not using much of the downstage left corner and the upstage right corner, to purposefully show that I am travelling somewhere. I also use my movement to try and show how fatigued I am getting toward the end of the dance. I try my best to act like I am exhausted and like I have been carrying something heavy for a long time, like Jesus did with his cross.

Conflict perspective or conflict theory is one of the major sociological approaches to analyzing social problems. This perspective originated with Karl Marx, a famous philosopher, economist, sociologist, journalist, and revolutionary socialist, and whom many credit contributions to the birth of modern

Conflict theorist have an opposing view, that the inequality seen in society is a result of domination and coercion where those with power, wealth and prestige exploit those without to maintain their standings. They believe that that every person and class are fighting over a limited number of resources and each is competing for an advantage. Wealth inequality is unfair because the elites, those in control of “societal resources” use those resources to perpetuate their own standing by shaping the belief system of society, controlling the distribution of resources, and blocking the mobility and opportunities of the poor. Because the wealth inequality is inherently unfair, conflict theorist argue that the disadvantaged in society should be given support by redirecting the “societal resources” to those in need. [9]
