The subject for this week’s assignment is “Applying Lewin’s Topology and the Force Field Analysis to the Understanding of Decision Making.”
Subject’s description
One of the most important names associated with the development the Gestalt theory is Kurt Lewin. To create a new theory of human behavior, he relied on geometry and topology. Topology is a theory of perception that helps understand individual actions, intentions, internal contradictions and decision-making using theories that belong to principles of geometry applied understanding notions of connectedness, continuity and orientation to spaces and geometric figures. From the application of topology to Gestalt theory, the field theory was created. It brought the expectation that the main factors that could explain human behavior in a specific situation could be measured. The field theory brought about interesting concepts that allowed it to become an authentic theoretical framework. Please read Chapter 9 of your textbook in order to be able to write this essay using topology and field theory concepts.
Questions to Address
Do you think that there are advantages to applying topology to the understanding of human perception? From topology and other principles of geometry Dr Lewis created the field theory. According to you, are the main concepts of field theory such as life space, field, existence, locomotion, force, valence, goal, conflict and interdependence useful to the understanding of decision-making processes? Read carefully the definitions of these concepts in Chapter 9 and watch the short YouTube video located in the learning materials section of your course. Try to apply these force field concepts to the understanding and resolution of a decision-making process that was inadequate and requires resolution. In order to illustrate your essay with examples, you can create a fictional situation, basing yourself on historical facts or current social or political issues provoked by decisions and leadership models that according to you require some adjustment.
7TH Ed. student APA format is to be used. Hence, no running head. Please use headers throughout the essay for organization and flow. Strict APA 7th Ed. must be followed as grades will reflect format structure.
One of the references must be the text book. APA references and title page are expected to follow proper guidelines.
