By the end of the week
I have explained how TWO factors contribute to my chosen New Zealand health issue
I have acted on feedback given for my introduction
I have participated in group work to understand personal, interpersonal and societal implications in-relation to my context.
I understand the requirements for the "analyse an international health issue" external exam
Interact with the padlet and discuss the Personal, Interpersonal and Societal Implications in relation to teenage pregnancies. Make sure you include the positives/negatives & short term/long term of these implications.
When unpacking the implication on personal, interpesonal and societal aspects you need to consider the following things
-What are the positive or negative implications (There may be one or the other in this case)
-What are the short and long term implications (strong recommendation that you include both short and long term)
-Personal is aspects that affect the person directly. Eg. The teenagers that have fallen pregnant, The kids that are using the drugs, The people who are experiencing mental health issues themselves.
-Interpersonal is the relationships and the impact that this issue has on those. Eg. Teenage pregnancy short and long term negative implication on the relationship between both parents and the fact that they are being forced into a parenting situation. One parent may also want an abortion and the other may want to keep the baby. A lack of support or acknowledgement of parenting resposibility from one party.
-Societal is the implications that this issue has on society. Eg. Teen pregnancy requires a substantial amount of support from organisations (Teen parent units). Also, it restricts teenage mothers from being able to continue their full pathway in education placing stress on society to support them down the track doe to the high level of parenting commitment required and the negative implication this has on their education.
