Process Paper II: Intergenerational Relations
For this second paper,please consider what healthy intergenerational relations feel like for you,and how they might be repaired or healed if damage or harm have occurred. Describe the way intergenerational relations are narrated or described in one of the course readings,and/or draw upon other sources that feels relevant to this question.
Some questions to consider as you approach the paper are:
·What have been some of the most inspiring examples of intergenerational relations that I have either witnessed or experienced somehow?How is love and/or care expressed or shown?
· Are there others who've written or made art or created projects around
intergenerational relations that have influenced me?Refer to these sources if so.
● What are the barriers or challenges to having healthy or strong intergenerational relations that sometimes have to be overcome?
Papers will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
· How thoughtful,observant,or insightful is the paper?
· Is there a good balance between specificity(precise language,examples etc) and attention to general patterns or structures over time?
● Have you effectively demonstrated your process of learning?This could involve articulating what you've become more conscious of through the process of
paying attention to these questions.
