In your own words and (between 500-750 words) answer the following four questions in essay writing format:
1.How would you respond to Michael Chandler’s concern about defining resilient individuals as those who are made of “stainless steel” and nonresilient individuals as those who are made of “celluloid”?
2.Does the “stainless steel” metaphor suggest that only the lucky few are resilient because they carry a particular trait or personality characteristic?
3.Would you characterize this definition as misleading? Why or why not?
4.Can conditions external to the individual promote or undermine resilience?
***NO PLAGIARISM PLEASE***
*** WORD COUNT MATTERS***
Explanation / Answer
According to Michael Chandler there is a clear cut demarcation between resilient and non resilient individuals which has been defined by the aid of a metaphor for each of the two categories: Stainless steel being representative of Resilient individual and Celluloid representative of Non resilient individuals.
It would be quite dogmatic to use such terms to represent a group of individuals with apparent lower levels of resilience. Resilience is a trait which is quite flexible, and in all honestly even circumstantial. Resilience evolves or also devolves with the growth and passage of years of a given individual. A trait such as this is assumed to be a core trait/ characteristic, but it is veritably dependent upon the conditions that an individual is subjected to through the entirety of their life.
For example each individual perceives a given apparent similar situation differently. If we take into account an average married adult who has experienced the death of their respective spouse, and they are expected to take all the responsibilities of the household onto their shoulder. Now there are high possibilities of one individual breaking down under the strenuous pressure, and the other individual rising through the difficulties. But, given a different situation there are Probabilities of the roles being flipped. People find the strength to bounce back a lot of the times based on the extraneous factor, which does not mean that there is a disregard for internal factors that have an equal, if not more, of a say.
A sundry factors together are responsible in determining the resilience level of an individual, and not one or two.
