Urgent help with assignment question needed!! (1 Viewer)

[Guernica]

Oh man...
I'm doing this assignment (Community and Family Studies), and I just realised that I answered question 3 in question 2, which means I did question 2 wrong... which means I have to go backwards. Now question 2 doesn't make sense to me...

"2. List the resources available to assist Susan fulfil her role as a single parent and that of a working parent. Distinguish between human and non human resouces. Justify your answer."
I justified the first part of the question - like how the resources would help... but then we have...

"3. Discuss how the resources available can assist Susan as a single parent and a working mother."
So that means that in question 2, I must be supposed to justify my distinguishing between human and non human resources... but that's stupid. What am I supposed to write? "The support of Susan's parents is a human resource... because they are human"??

THAT'S RETARDED! Am I misunderstanding? It's due Thursday... I want to have it done tonight though, because I am busy tomorrow night...

ok, i think it means that in question 2 you have to show the difference between and the features of human/non human resources, justifying ur answer say through examples or something, and then in question 3 you have to say HOW those resources can be used in the situation ur given.

at least thats how it sounds...hope that helps you

Mm, I kind of made something up along those lines.

2. There are many resources to help Susan in her situation. They include:
Parent support
Friend support
Day care
Government payments
Work colleagues

Human resources are things that people can do, or skills and abilities they may have. Parent support, friend support and work colleagues are examples of human resources because they all are dependant on people, not items. The support of people depends entirely on their decision to support.

Non human resources are objects or things that exist externally. Government payments and day care are examples of this because they are services.

Then my question 3 is just explaining how the resources each specifically help her situation.

Thanks heaps for your help!
