An eco-map is a visual graphic that illustrates the systems in a person’s life that influence his or her behavior.

 

In this Assignment, you will be creating an ecomap based on Sandra Lambardino, whose story can be found attached to the original post. Read Sandra’s story, and create an ecomap based on the information provided showing Sandra as the micro (center circle).

 

Be sure to include all systems (influences) that affect Sandra. In addition to filling in the circles around Sandra with systems (influences), be sure to add two corresponding arrows pointing from the systems (influences) that signify the strength of the relationship (strong or weak) and the type of relationship (positive or stressful) between Sandra and each system. The goal of this basic ecomap is to illustrate how systems are affecting Sandra, however, in a more advanced ecomap, as seen in our text, you would want to display how the micro (Sandra for our map) is impacting the systems around them. If you want to show the reciprocal nature of the relationship between the influence and Sandra on your ecomap, you will show two more arrows pointing from Sandra to the system (influence) to illustrate how Sandra affects the system (influence).

 

Create your ecomap using the template attached to this post.

HOW TO WRITE YOUR PAPER

The paper you are about to write should be in response and reaction to the article on “Alcohol” which is found in eCampus under this course and in the menu button which reads “ALCOHOL ARTICLE”. The paper is to be a minimum of 250 words.

The best and easiest way to write the paper is to read the article on “Alcohol” first and then answer each of the sixteen (16) questions. Answer the questions as well as you can based on your understanding, interpretation, and assessment of the article on “Alcohol.” There are no right answers.

Each question has been given an alphanumeric code (for example: “CT-1”). After you read a question answer that question by placing question’s alphanumeric code at the beginning of your answer/response. Therefore, you would write your paper answering each of the sixteen (16) questions in order and in the following format similar to the following example.

Example:

(CT-1) I believe what the article on Alcohol said addresses various pieces of information about . . . .

(CT-2) In my opinion I believe the authors of the article were saying . . . . , etc.
