Community, Art, and Identity
The people of Herzing University (Atlanta Campus featured
above) makes up a rich and thriving community. This piece of
visual art is something current students as well as potential
students see in social media and when searching the website
giving it power to build community by creating a sense of
welcome. Examine the picture above and consider how it
represents the 'Identity' of Herzing University and address the
following:
· In what ways does this image create a sense of welcoming?
· In what ways does this image reflect the reality of achieving
your academic goals through hard work?
· Does this image help you to embrace a new sense of
empowerment for as you become a part of the Herzing
University community?

Community and Identity Through Art
Your local community is another place where you can celebrate
who you are and how you contribute to society. Visit either a
local newspaper website or the nearest large city newspaper to
you. Go to their community page and locate three 'positive'
images that demonstrate community in your area. Click on the
word "Text" and describe the ways each image empowers your
sense of community and identity. (How does this image project
an "I am proud to live here" type of atmosphere). Would this
image encourage others to join your community? Why?
Remember to reference the image on the References page.
Community and Identity in Music
Music of all genres often tell personal stories of identity as well
as broader narratives of community. For example, Lee

3. Greenwood's classic song, "I'm proud to be an American"
demonstrates the feeling all Americans share about the
opportunities they have received to build strong families and
strong communities.
Go to YouTube and find a dance or musical performance that
reflects your sense of community (that can be local, regional, or
your Herzing community) and/or your sense of identity.
Once you select your video, share the URL in the textbox
below. Be sure to reference the video on the References page.

Literature and Community
Literature is a powerful artform known for its ability to explore
unique perspectives of historical eras that reflects and
celebrates community in its many forms. Literature can also
reflect on the destruction or loss of community. Leslie Marmon
Silko is an example of how identity and community are linked
into an unbreakable bond. Like the writer Ruskin Bond from
the Unit 4 portfolio, Leslie Marmon Silko is of Native Amer ican
descent, but she is equally Mexican American and Anglo

4. American. Her unique tri-racial heritage produced a wealth of
unique perspective. Visit this website and read her poem,
Story From Bear Country.
In the textbox below address the following questions:
1. What figurative language does Silko use in the first three
stanzas to establish community in her story?
2. How does stanza four reflect a turning away from that
community?
3. What are the 'Bear Priests' in terms of the community? Why
do they pursue those who turned away?
4. In what ways do you relate to this type of loss of
community?
5. In your view, what is the last stanza saying to you directly
and to the world at large?

Reflections
You have explored community, art, and identity in empowering

5. ways this week. Please address the following to complete your
Unit 5 template.
1. Select one area of the arts (music, dance,
performance/theater, literature, sculpture, painting, etc.) and
create a short letter convincing local leaders to provide funding
for a specific event showcasing that artform to the public.
Explain why that expression of the arts is important to
community building and how it will serve to best present local
identity to the greater world sat large.

2. What is the one most empowering thing you learned or
celebrated in this segment of the portfolio? How did it connect
you to the larger sense of community we all are an important
part of in our day-to-day lives?

Discussion 1: Relationship Between Purpose of Study and Data
Analysis Techniques
In order to make decisions about the value of any research study
for practice, it is important to understand the general processes
involved in analyzing research data. By now, you have
examined enough research studies to be aware that there are
some common ways that data are reported and summarized in
research studies. For example, the sample is often described by
numbers of participants and by certain characteristics of those
participants that help us determine how representative the
sample is of a population. The information about the sample is
commonly reported in tables and graphs, making use of
frequency distributions, measures of central tendency, and
dispersion. Information about the variables (or concepts) of
interest when quantified are also reported in similar manner.
Although the actual data analysis takes place after data have
been collected, from the initial planning of a research study, the
researcher needs to have an awareness of the types of questions
that can be answered by particular data analysis techniques.
For this Discussion, review the case study entitled "Social Work

7. Research: Measuring Group Success." Consider the data
analysis described in that case. Recall the information presented
in the earlier chapters of your text about formulating research
questions to inform a hypotheses or open-ended exploration of
an issue.
Post an explanation of the types of descriptive and/or inferential
statistics you might use to analyze the data gathered in the case
study. Also explain how the statistics you identify can guide
you in evaluating the applicability of the study's findings for
your own practice as a social worker. Please use the resources
to support your answer.
Discussion 2: Statistical Significance and Variables
Research studies often compare variables, conditions, times,
and/or groups of participants to evaluate relationships between
variables or differences between groups or times. For example,
if researchers are interested in knowing whether an intervention
produces change in the desired direction, they will want to
know whether the change is due to chance (statistical
significance) or possibly due to the intervention. In this case,
researchers could use a pre and post measurement of the same
participants on the condition being treated, or they could
compare a group of individuals who receive the intervention to
a group that does not receive the intervention. Researchers

8. could also compare two groups of individuals who receive
different interventions. The rigor of the research design helps
control for other factors that might account for the changes
(e.g., time, conditions, group differences in other factors, etc.).
To prepare for this Discussion, consider the concept
of statistical significance.
Post your explanation of how the difference between statistical
significance and the true importance (clinical significance) of
the relationship between variables or the degree of difference
between groups affect your practice decision making. Be sure to
include an explanation of what statistical significance means.
Include an example from a quantitative study that found
statistically significant differences. Discuss whether the results
of the study would—or should—influence your practice as a
social worker. Please use the resources to support your answer.
