Imagine that a family member is accompanying a patient to a medical appointment. During the appointment, the physician provides the diagnosis of a debilitating illness. The family member begins to realize that they will now be thrust into the caregiver role. Select from the following illnesses: cancer, traumatic brain injury, dementia, or severe mental illness.
Submit a 2- to 3-page paper in which you: Mr. and Mrs. Chen live in an apartment in a suburb of a large city. Mrs. Chen was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 15 years ago, and for the first 12 years, she experienced a relapsing and remitting disease course. During symptomatic periods, she battled fatigue, numbness, and a decline in coordination, but these tended to be short in duration and were always followed by significant periods of remission. However, over the past three years, Mrs. Chen’s symptoms have steadily worsened, and her mobility has sharply declined. Mr. Chen works for a delivery service company and juggles this job with caring for his wife and taking her to all her medical appointments. Mrs. Chen used to be employed at a grocery store, but she resigned when the amount of standing, walking, and lifting the job entailed became impossible. Mr. Chen has had to assume more work shifts to make up for Mrs. Chen’s lost income but finds it difficult to also transport her to all her appointments and be available to meet all her care needs in the home. He often feels overwhelmed and fatigued but doesn’t know how to reduce his workload. The Chens used to go to a ballroom dancing class with a group of friends on Mr. Chen’s day off, but Mrs. Chen is no longer able to dance, and Mr. Chen doesn’t know how to carve out the time. He explains that even if he could somehow find the time, it wouldn’t be any fun to go without his wife.
From this scenario, it is clear that multiple sclerosis has had a huge impact on Mrs. Chen’s life and functioning. But how have Mrs. Chen’s illness and caregiving responsibilities also impacted Mr. Chen? What kinds of support could a social worker offer to someone like Mr. Chen to reduce his stress and improve his quality of life?
In this Assignment, you examine factors that contribute to caregiver stress and identify community resources that can support caregivers. Explain the thoughts and emotions the caregiver may be feeling at the time of diagnosis. Describe the care needed for the illness you selected. Explain the stress experienced by caregivers of patients with this illness. Describe illness-related factors (illness complexity, chronicity, outcomes) that might contribute to this stress. Describe system-related factors (access to care, insurance) that might contribute to this stress. Identify at least three resources in your local area (county or state) that you might use to support the caregiving experience for the chosen illness. Explain how these resources might adequately support caregivers.

“The Question of Culpability in The Remains of the Day: Examining Stevens’ Role in Lord Darlington’s Collaboration with the Nazis”
The goal of the reflections is to look back on the texts we have read in an insightful way. In this second reflection paper, the prompt asks you to make and defend an argument about The Remains of the Day based on the prompt below.
The minimum word count is 500 words, and please keep it under 1000 or so (though the maximum is much more flexible than the minimum). The most practical way to write over 500 words without filler on these assignments is to make a clear argument and back it up with evidence–you can always add more evidence and reasoning, and you can always add more specific, concrete detail to make your reflection more persuasive and vivid. If you do that well and practice it enough, you will end up finding that 500-1000 words isn’t a lot of space to make a strong argument, and you will need to cut any and all filler to be as persuasive and detailed as you want to be. Be sure to use formal writing on the reflection papers; use standard grammar and punctuation to the best of your ability, and cite secondary sources if you use them, though they aren’t required at all! For the reflection paper, you should submit your assignment as a PDF or Word doc.
Prompt: In an interview with The New York Times, Ishiguro said: ‘What I’m interested in is not the actual fact that my characters have done things they later regret’, adding: ‘I’m interested in how they come to terms with it.’ It is clear that Stevens regrets parts of his past, even though he acted out of loyalty to Lord Darlington. The main question I want you to state your position on is the following: Do you think Stevens is ultimately culpable or guilty for the role he played in Lord Darlington’s collaboration with the Nazis? Why or why not? State a clear position on this question, and then support it with specific and concrete evidence from the novel, citing specific scenes, quotations, moments, and ideas.
The questions below can help you generate thoughts, but you don’t need to answer all of them, by any means. Organizing your essay around defending your position is the most important thing.
Stevens often fondly reminisces about Lord Darlington, whom he describes as ‘a gentleman.’ Darlington later dies in disgrace for having collaborated with the Nazis. Do you think Lord Darlington is guilty of collaborating with the Nazis, and do you think he is responsible for his actions? Did he knowingly cooperate, with a full awareness of their genocidal aims? Or was he taken advantage of? Stevens’s role and culpability is also left up to the reader’s interpretation. For example, Mr. Cardinal takes Stevens to task for not being curious or critical enough of Lord Darlington’s activities. On other occasions, Stevens does not voice his concerns about Lord Darlington’s activities. On further occasions, he defends Lord Darlington, claiming it is all a misunderstanding. Do you think Mr. Cardinal has a point? Does the narrative or the story itself ultimately condemn Stevens for the choices he has made? Would having good intentions or being taken advantage of make him or Lord Darlington any less guilty? Why or why not, in your opinion?
Please don’t feel compelled to answer every single question here. Rather, make a clear claim that someone could potentially disagree with, choosing one side or the other of the argument, or, if you want to avoid the “either/or,” say clearly how you think we should understand your position. It is important to avoid a wishy washy answer that says something like, “It can be interpreted either way.” That is always true, of course, but the goal here is for you to state your own position and then defend it with evidence, so be sure you are presenting a bold and strong position. Then defend the claim you make with textual evidence and reasoning, using the follow up questions in the prompt as ways to develop and deepen your thoughts.
