Feedback
A Population is different from community. A community is a group of people who share a geographic (locational) dimension and a social (relational) dimension.
B Individuals who live in neighbourhoods are part of a community.
C A population is defined as a collection of individuals who have one or more personal or environmental characteristics in common. Examples of populations include Canadians inclusively, or, more specifically, high-risk infants, older adults, or cultural groups such as Aboriginals.
D A healthy community is a group of individuals who are engaged in collective relationships that create a supportive living environment.

Answer to Question 2

D
In accordance with Erikson's theory, the middle adult client is involved in the process of ex-panding personal and social involvement. Middle-aged adults should be able to see beyond their own needs and accomplishments to the needs of society.
Developing a sense of identity is in accordance with Erikson's identity versus role confusion (puberty) stage of development.
Searching for meaning in life is in accordance with Erikson's integrity versus despair (old age) stage of development.
Enhancing one's capability to love others is in accordance with Erikson's intimacy versus isola-tion (young adult) stage of development.
