Use the story of Joshua's determination to survive to explain the relevant dimensions of person, environment, and time. Define each of the dimensions and give examples of Joshua's journey for each dimension.

What will be an ideal response?


Some examples include the following. An aspect of the person dimension is spirituality-Joshua's Methodist faith that he practiced when he was young may have been part of his eventual employment as a pastor. An aspect of the environment dimension is culture, including language. Joshua spoke three languages growing up, and this may have made his acclimation to speaking another new language upon his American location easier, even if it was challenging. The physical element of the environment dimension can also be seen in Joshua's family's reaction to the weather differences in Boise compared to the Congo. The time dimension certainly had an impact on Joshua's family-regarding the historical era, his family was impacted by the Congo Civil War, which caused them to flee their home and seek refugee status. Their different chronological ages also had an impact on how relocation impacted them.
