Tutorial Two: Doing, being, becomming, belonging

In this Tutorial we discussed the concepts around doing, being, becomming and belonging, and how it was relevant to certain occupations. the occupation i chose to explore is 'interacting,' in all forms 

I have made a slide show that explores all the different types of interactions around us. During my fieldwork placement last year, I worked at an intellectual disability centre and what they liked to encourage the most within the centre was interaction, especially with each other and in the enviroment. There are many ways interaction can happen. Human interaction with anything we choose is all forms of occupations. Whether it be interaction between friends, animals, technology, when we participate in occupations we are interacting with something in some way.

To do, be, become, and belong, all involve elements of interaction.

The definition of “doing” is an action or a performance of an action (Collins, 2011, pg 491)
When we do things, we interact with different people, objects, and enviroments.


“Being” is the state or fact of existing (Collins, 2011 pg 151)
Throughout our existence we will interact in different ways.

“Become” is to come to be, to develop or grow into (Collins, 2011 pg 148)

The more we interact with different people, places, and thngs, the more we develop and grow as a person.

"Belonging" is to be bound to (Collins, 2011, pg 153)

Certain interactions have more value than others that we are bound or belong to.

The ethical considerations I made when making my slide show were:

1. Making sure that anyone in the photos I took, knew I was taking them and what the photos were intended for.

2. Referencing of pictures I retrieved from another source, to eliminate copy right.

3. Used the pictures in an appropriate way, which was intended.
