Case Study Option (A, B, C, or D)
: C
Instructions
The purpose of this assignment is to apply your knowledge and deepen your learning
by responding to real life examples that you or others may face in defending the Proclamation and the eternal family
.
Your response to the case study you have chosen may be written in essay format, or you may choose to write your response as if you were speaking or writing directly to someone facing the situation described. Your response must show thought, reflection, pondering, and depth, and be presented with college-level writing skills. The following should be integrated into your response:
The gospel doctrines or principles that are involved in the case study, and how they help to clarify and give direction in addressing the situation.
Messages from scripture, the proclamation, and the course readings for the current unit of study that address the dilemma and how those messages would be helpful.
Your own suggestions and ideas about actions that would be helpful in addressing the issue.
Your response must include:
At least four references,
each from a
different talk or article
in the current course readings. These may be direct quotes or paraphrases of statements, and must include appropriate in-text citations. (See Good Writing Practices for REL 200
)
A pertinent passage from the Proclamation
A scripture
that would support your thoughts and ideas
As an option,
you may choose to use two statements from two of the most recent General Conference addresses in place of two references from the current course readings
Be sure to connect the references to your thoughts and discuss why or how the reference helps to address the situation in the case study
. These assignments help you to dig deeply into the readings for the course and to show your understanding of the content, but they are not a place to simply regurgitate what you have learned. Please have at least 50% or more of the text be your thoughts and comments. It may be helpful to bold
or use a different color of text for your references and citations. This will help you see how much of the text is from quotes and words of others and how much is your own words.
Case Study Report
In 1-2 page(s), write a response to the case study that you have chosen and that meets the requirements explained above.
I have noticed in my ward that this has been a struggle for a lot of women that have been secretly suffering with infertility. When I moved to this ward years ago, this was a topic that would be talked about a lot, but mothers that were suffering in silence wouldn’t anything. Until the last 3 years. The family proclamation does touch on families and we are encouraged to have our own families. But this can be done other ways if fertility is an issue. There is no doctrine that states that not having biological children is bad. The Family Proclamation where it talks BYU-Idaho

about the roles of both men and women as parents. “By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners.” I would also encourage her to be intimate with her husband as much as possible. “Intimacy in marriage has several ‘functions’—procreation, yes, but also bonding and unifying a couple in their marriage. Going through infertility reaffirmed in my mind the importance of intimacy in our marriage.” Alma 26:27: “Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success.” This scripture reminds me that, struggles were only temporary ones. I would reassure her that, I know that Heavenly Father is aware of her fears and our circumstances. And that if we continue being diligent, he promises that all will be well. The Savior invites us to come unto Him—no matter our circumstances.
