  1. Hello, everyone.
  2. My name is Angela and I will be presenting on
  3. behalf of my group members Kathleen, Cecilia, Jennifer and Kelly
  4. on the construct of occupational possibilities.
  5. Let's begin The construct of occupational possibilities refers to the
  6. activity is that people believe they can or cannot dio
  7. as a result of the influence of broader systems on
  8. their lives.
  9. This construct acknowledges that society promotes specific occupations as ideal
  10. or not ideal.
  11. And these distinctions can vary across all categories of people,
  12. old or young, female or mail.
  13. The list goes on.
  14. We also want to point out that the construct of
  15. occupational possibilities goes hand in hand with the construct of
  16. occupational choice.
  17. The distinction is that occupational choices are the autonomous decisions
  18. we make from the possibilities that are made available to
  19. us. Many external factors impact one's choices such a socioeconomic
  20. status, historical events and culture.
  21. Similarly, various factors shake one's available possibilities.
  22. So what are those factors?
  23. According to read, then there are three key concepts that
  24. influence occupational possibilities.
  25. These concepts are subjectivity, governance and discourse.
  26. Of these three concepts, we took a deeper look at
  27. the impact of discourse.
  28. Discourse refers to the transmission of messages by people or
  29. institutions through discourse societies.
  30. That's expectations that shape people's behaviors and assumptions.
  31. Influences on occupational possibilities can also be categorized as either
  32. personal or environmental.
  33. As author Alison Wicks describes in her article, Understanding Occupational
  34. Potential. Personal influences include meaning a description, personal capacity and
  35. occupational persona.
  36. Environmental influences can be divided into three different levels.
  37. At the micro level are an individual's family or close
  38. social network at the muzzle level, larger system, such a
  39. schools or the workplace and at the macro level, society
  40. as a whole.
  41. Both personal and environmental influences can be either enhancing or
  42. constraining. And we will explore this concept more in our
  43. example. For our example, we chose to look at Megan
  44. Rapinoe. She is a real help professional soccer.
