This post shows an occupation that I was involved in on my
Fieldwork two placement. For Fieldwork two I was placed at a special school in
Hamilton on Wednesday mornings. The occupation that I chose was shopping. Every
week the students go down to the supermarket to purchase food that they prepare
the next day for their lunches. Within this occupation it involved finding all
the ingredients that were on the shopping list, comparing prices to get the
best deal, paying for the groceries in the self-service checkout and safety
when walking in the car park.
Definition for being is, “Being is about being true to
ourselves, to our nature, to our essence and to what is distinctive about us to
being to others as part of our relationships and to what we do”(Wilcock, 1998,
p. 250).
Definition for doing is, “They ‘do’ daily tasks including
things they feel they must do, and others that they want to. Human evolution has been filled with ongoing
and progressive ‘doings’, which, apart from enabling the species to survive,
has stimulated, entertained and excited some people and bored” (Wilcock, 1998,
p.249).
Definition for belonging is, “Belonging to describe the
necessary contribution of social interaction, mutual support and friendship,
and the sense of being included, to occupational performance and life
satisfaction” (Reberiro et al, 2001).
Definition for becoming is, “...being a sense of future,
even though in many ways becoming is dependent on what people do and are in
present, and on our history in terms of cultural development” (Wilcock, 1998,
p. 251).

Ethical Issues:
Ethical issues that I had to consider were copyrighting
photos from the internet and issues over what personal photos I could have. So
to cover this issue over the copyright I only used items that were already made
public on google images and referenced the sources appropriately on the last
slide page. To make sure I was within copyright issues I made sure the photos I
took had no people in them.
