Essay must include a response/reflection on ALL three of the following prompts:
1) a) What values and beliefs around sexual orientation and gender identity were you exposed to growing up? b) What were the sources of those values and beliefs? c) What values and beliefs around sexual orientation and gender identity do you have now? d) If they’re different from those of your childhood, what influenced that change? What has that process been like? How did you reconcile if your beliefs were different than others around you?
2) Which of the NASW Code of Ethics’ six core values do you believe this course primarily addresses? (Pick only one, whichever one you believe is primary.) What is it about that core value that makes you think so? (You need to substantiate why your choice more than others.) Why is a course like this even necessary? Does that relate to your choice?
3) You have learned that the stressors associated with identifying as LGBTQ (e.g., hiding, coming out, family reactions, prejudice and discrimination, etc.) can increase an LGBTQ individual’s risk of internal (self-inflicted) and external (other-inflicted) harm and danger. What are some of the stressors and consequent internal and/or external harms and dangers that Daphne Scholinski has experienced as a result of her sexual orientation and/or gender expression? You need to give at least one example in your own words of each of the following specific to Daphne’s identity as a member of the LGBTQ+ community:
1. stressors
2. internal harms/dangers
3. external harms/dangers
Essay #1 is due Sunday, by 7:55P CT and should be submitted via Moodle. The essay should reflect on course content and is to include one scholarly source drawn from the professional literature (please be sure and include citations). Entries are to be at least two full pages of text but no more than three pages in length, typed (using 12-point, Times New Roman typeface), double-spaced, with 1” margins on all sides, and with no title page or abstract. Your submission will be anonymized – You are to use a one-line heading at the top of the first page with the last four digits of your LSU ID. (this should be within the 1-inch margin) and also remember not to use anything identifying in the saved filename either. Please submit files with extensions of .doc or .docx only. Essays submitted after 7:55P will lose one point at that time and an additional point every 24 hours thereafter until submitted. An essay grading rubric is available on Moodle; please review rubric to see what I will be looking for in addition to full responses to all prompts.
Some things that will impact your grade include: incomplete answers or not answering in full all three prompts, misspellings and grammatical errors, not following directions on length and formatting, not providing meaningful or reflective essays, not including citations and reference page.
