,Read the following case scenario, and answer the following questions:
Covid-19 has brought about many new challenges across various contexts.
In order to slow the infection rate, a national lockdown was enforced, which on one hand
was aimed at protecting the population from the effects of Covid-19, with new terminology
such as "lock-down, self-isolation, social distancing, flatten the curve....new normal" (Pillay
& Barnes, 2020).
On the other hand, and at the same time, the solution to the problem created many
individual, familial, social, community, educational, occupational, financial and other
challenges.
Question 1
As a student of Unisa, an Open Distance Learning Education Institution, provide a first order
cybernetic analysis of Unisa as a system. In your answer, describe the context as a first
order cybernetic thinker, and apply at least five (5) first order cybernetic
principles/concepts to your analysis. (25)
Question 2
Include yourself in the observed, and provide a second-order cybernetic analysis of Unisa as
a system. In your answer, describe how a second-order cybernetic thinker would
contextualise Unisa, and apply at least five (5) second order principle/concepts to your
analysis. (25)
Question 3
Second order cybernetics can be viewed as a meta-perspective. In line with this
premise, answer the questions below:
3.1 According to Becvar and Becvar (2014), systemic thinking is not an either/or approach.
Discuss this statement and justify how FOC and SOC can be integrated in a complementary
manner. (10)
, 3.2 In all professions there are both explicit and implicit ethical guidelines, which have been
drawn up to ensure efficacy and competency. Discuss the ethical considerations to bear in
mind if you were working from an ecosystemic perspective (include the ethical
considerations for both FOC and SOC). (10)
3.3 In your opinion, how can African ideologies and indigenous knowledge systems be
incorporated into ecosystemic psychology? (10)
3.4 Provide a critique of ecosystemic psychology in which you cover both its merits and its
shortcomings. (10)
Question 4:
This is not a question, however, a mark will be awarded for referencing. You need to
include both in-text references and a reference list that follows the American
Psychological Association (APA) guidelines. (10)
