Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/Community resilience

Initial suggestions
Thanks for tackling this topic.

Some initial suggestions:


 * Check out previous psychological resilience chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work.
 * Consider what case studies/scenarios might be relevant e.g., community resilience to natural disasters
 * If you would prefer to focus on a more specific context for community resilience, rather than in general, let me know and we can renegotiate the topic.

Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along.

Hello,

I find it really important that you mention climate change under your topic. I suggest looking at how communities close to the equator can foster "climate resilience". Especially in light of the unjust and disproportionate effects this has on their communities compared to those in more safeguarded locations Sireyes (discuss • contribs) 13:44, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Small tweak on Figures
Hi Robbie @U3213682, Your new Figure looks great :)

Just in case you missed it - You now have two Figures with Caption "Figure 2"

And I couldn't find a callout/in-text reference to your (now) Figure 3 - hand holding image.

Great chapter though - clear and well researched :)

All the best, Cheers, Jorja -- JorjaFive (discuss • contribs) 11:36, 5 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, great catch. I forgot to update my callouts when I modified my figures. Thank you! U3213682 (discuss • contribs) 13:11, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Grammatical comments
, Suppose the topic had been phrased differently, e.g. "What makes a resilient community?", "The features of a resilient community", etc. Jtneill, I understand you choose the exact wording of the title and topic? The fourth sentence of the resource reads "Yet, their social capacities, shared goals, and common knowledge resulted in a level of community resilience that facilitated effective recovery efforts." If you try rewording it without nominalized adjective 'resilience', then you end up with something more concise and clean, like The community recovered quickly because of its social capacities, shared goals, and common knowledge. I think this is a matter of how the assignment is posed. Phrasing like community resilience tends to encourage the sort of style represented by the sentence I quoted. If the topic is community resilience itself then there's nothing to write about unless the student invents a more specific topic, as in the alternate titles I suggested.

In other words, the phrasing should not make a nominal adjective such as resilience the subject itself. We already know what the word resilience means. One feels like they're trying to add to a dictionary. AP295 (discuss • contribs) 10:05, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Helpful suggestions, thanks. Feel free to comment on draft wording for 2024 topics: Motivation and emotion/Book/2024. Some topics are intended to more general "gateway" topics which lead into more specific related topics. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 23:13, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
