Throughout the HSBE I and II courses, you have explored the biological, psychological, and sociological aspects of different phases of the human life span. You have explored life-span development theories that help to explain human behavior. You also have considered how the social environment influences individuals and their behavior.

Gathering facts about a client's life span through the interview process is an important social work skill. This week, you practice this skill by interviewing an older adult using the questions in the Life Span Interview document available in this week's resources. For this week's Assignment you transform your interview notes into a narrative—that is, a life story—of the older adult ­you interviewed. You interweave within this narrative an analysis of the life story by applying person and the environment concepts to your understanding and interpretation of that story.

3- to 5-page paper in which you provide a narrative analysis of the Life Span Interview you completed. The paper should:

Provide a chronological history of the individual’s major life experiences.
Identify specific biological, psychological and sociological influences that shaped the individual’s experience.
Analyze the individual’s experiences by applying theory and concepts learned throughout both Human Behavior and the Social Environment (HBSE) courses.
Provide your reflection of the experience, both in interviewing the individual and analyzing their narrative.
Explain what you learned and how you will apply this to future social work practice.

Assignment details: The essay assignment for this course requires that you critically read and evaluate a short, famous ethnography on the San/Ju’hoansi culture of Southern Africa.  The essay will take the form of formal, academic book reviews.  You must follow the instructions for this type of review on this website: https://www.insidehighered.com/advice/2015/03/27/essay-writing-academic-book-reviews

Read the article on the website and after you are finished reading the ethnography, follow the suggestions and the template/guidelines of how to structure the book review.  Your essay should be structured exactly as suggested with all the same sections (7 of them) and in the order presented.    

DO NOT write it in a subjective first-person style (using "I" or "me").  Academic book reviews are written for readers who only want to know the facts about the book--readers do not care about your own personal experience reading it.  :)

Question:
On page 410, author states, “Ultimately, this chapter illustrates that both individual choices and circumstances and macro-level factors are structured so that a person’s race, class and gender are systematically related to their quality of life and life expectancy.”  So, how does the chapter illustrate what she claims?**___________________________________________________________________________

**Understand the question:  As you well know, micro- and macro-level forces shape health for better or for worse.  But, exactly how these forces will shape a person’s health for better or worse depends on race, class AND gender.  So, you are asked to explain how, according to the author, the effects of both the individual-level and the wider societal level are determined by race, class and gender.  You have already discussed your personal experience in one or both of the reading questions, so avoid giving it again.  Finally, you may include any insight from my notes, if you find them useful.
