Group Process of Audience Community †Free Samples to Students

Question: Discuss about the Group Process of Audience Community. Answer: Introduction: I will be talking to my audience (alcohol abusers) in the community which will take place in the Community Hall twice a week as a facilitator. I will start by introducing myself, telling the audience my names and my profession as well as the topic of our discussion and its importance. I will give each participant 30 seconds to introduce himself or herself by telling us his/her name, where he/she comes from and his/her profession. After introduction, I will have an interactive ten minutes session to set the grounds rules to guide our participative course. Each and every one will be given an opportunity to propose any rules and then I will write them down including respect for ones opinion, talking only when given chance, raising hands when one want to talk, have a respect disagreement, no accusation, no name calling, no interruption when one is giving his or her contribution, respect for group time and serious consideration for comments. I will have the group elect their leaders including chairperson, secretary, energizer, organizing secretary, time-keeper and welfare. I will explain and assign each leader his/her roles and responsibilities. I will then give the group general overview of what the whole sessions will cover and look like. Though classified as a depressant, the quantity of alcohol consumed dictates the kind of effects. Many people drink alcohol (beer) for stimulant effects to loosen them up. However, where an individual consumes more alcohol than his or her body can handle, he will experience the depressant effect of alcohol. Is alcohol that bad? It is well-unraveled that overconsumption of alcohol, is bad for a person, even if it is done every once in a while. Alcohol is an addictive substance and hence affect the body by inducing a chemical-imbalance emerging from a cycle of pleasure alongside tension. Drinking alcohol for the first time leads to a euphoric- or high- feeling. Alcohol will trigger brain damage through binge drinking through blackouts, loss of memory alongside anxiety. Long-term consumption of alcohol leads to permanent damage to brain, severe mental health challenges alongside alcoholism/dependence on alcohol. Because alcohol is depressant, any amount consumed makes a person probably to get blues. Overconsumption is harmful to brain and hence depression. Drinking too much alcohol will make one likely to reach bad decision besides impulse-action. Alcohol will also dehydrates the body including skin-largest organ of the body when consumed. Too much drinking deprives your skin of important vitamins alongside nutrients. Heavy drinking over time will have more permanent and detrimental effects of ones skin. An apple a day keeps a doctor away, but what about a beer or alcohol a day? To this end, I will let the participants ponder about the question and give their opinions on the adverse health effects of alcohol consumption. Participants will be allowed to even share their real-life experiences. Power Presentation on Effects of Alcohol In this session, I will run a power point presentation with images and photos to help comprehensively showcase the effects of alcohol consumption on the person. I will showcase how alcohol consumption affects and change the life both physically and emotionally, and how such effects will severely end up. At this juncture, I will undertake an activity whereby the audience would be split into smaller groups of three or five members. I will have each group assigned a particular adverse effect of alcohol and discuss it in details amongst themselves including real-life experience. The discussion will be limited to five minutes and each group will present their findings by coming in front and share their opinions. Each audience from other groups will have the opportunity to ask presenting-group questions or additions. After groups presentation, I will summarize by recapping all what each group had discussed. We will then take a break of 15 minutes for welfare and then come back to proceed i n the next session. In session 4, I will be talking about ways in which the audience can stop the consumption of alcohol. I will showcase ways in which we can work together as a team to stop addiction. To begin with, I will have each audience give suggestion or opinion on how and what can be done to effect change and write them down on the white board. Once everyone shall have talked and suggested the particularly ways of stopping addiction, I will peruse them, discussing them comprehensively. I will add any important way that might have been left out by the audience and explain why I felt it was worth being included. Before starting this session, I will have the energizer take us through energizing moment of five minutes so as to begin the new session with freshness. Once we have energized, which could include singing or stretching, I will introduce the audience on what session 5 would entail. This session will include sharing experiences of those who have successfully fought their addiction. I will have people who were once engaged in binge drinking but have subsequently stopped drinking to share their experiences. They will not be limited solely to their experiences personally, they will be given a latitude to even share about their friends, neighbors, relatives and family members who have subsequently stopped drinking. In case we have those who have relapsed, they will be given extra opportunity to share with the group the particular means through which they succeeded in the first place and the reasons or situations that made them revert. They will also be free to share with us what they think they could have done best to avoid relapse including particular places. Conclusion: In this session, I will play a one-hour movie/video for my audience detailing how consumption of alcohol starts, subsequent addiction, its effects and how one can stop the addiction. While watching, I will have them take keen interest and note down key points from the video. At the end of the video, I will talk to participants about the movie to add key points they might overlooked and how we can stop addiction. I will then have them resort to their earlier groupings as done in session 3 to make a poster of addiction to alcohol with inspirational words regarding how it affects individuals. I will them direct the audience to select a spot where each group would post their respective posters to create awareness on negative effects of alcohol. I will have a follow-up activity whereby I will ask the participants to share how their life had changed following the sessions. I will ask them whether they have stopped or they have helped their friends or any other person stopped addiction. I will also ask about the impacts of their posters on creation of awareness in the community. The goals following the sessions will a clear understanding about alcohol and that it is deplorable. I will have the audience leave with understanding that many alternatives exist to quit alcohol. I will gauge if such goals are accomplished through follow-up when I meet my audience after 20 days on what they have done to quit and create awareness. I had an incredible experience facilitating my audience. I managed to spread awareness and assist my audience personally and educate them on how to spread awareness to stop addiction spread in the community.
