1. "Cultural plunge
For this assignment, you will engage in a "cultural plunge."
This is an opportunity to gain awareness and exposure to a
diverse group or culture that you are unfamiliar with. Broad
definitions of culture apply race, ethnicity, religion, class,
sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, ability, religion,
gender identity, national origin, and others. It should involve
some type of exposure and direct involvement with the cultural
group that you chose. It is expected that you will feel outside
of your “comfort zone” by this experience. For example, attend
a religious service of a different faith, go to a neighborhood
festival, spend the day with the homeless, go to an LGBTQ
event, attend a cultural festival or parade, etc.
1. Select one cultural group of interest to “plunge.” "Culture"
can be defined in several ways. You will select cultural groups
that are most different from your own, or a group to which you
have been least exposed.
2. Exploring a culture different from your own can be a
culturally enriching experience. It can encourage you to explore
a cultural group that you have always wondered about but have
somehow never had much chance to interact with.
Discussion Presentation: Answer the following questions:
(1) why you chose this cultural group and experience; (2) a
brief description of the experience; (3) information about the
selected cultural group; (4) biases, opinions and/or
misconceptions you had about the culture before the cultural
plunge, and how these may have changed afterwards; (5) your
reactions before, during, and after the experience; (6) what did
you learn? (7) how this learning may be useful when
functioning as a human services professional in an agency
setting.

2. Project Planning
Do research on one-or-two large software systems that were
implemented successfully and on
one-or-two large software systems that failed in their
implementation. Write at least a 3-page
Word document, double-spaced, detailing each system.
Your paper should include a number of topic sections. Using
the concept of A.D.D.I.E., create a
section to discuss the A.-Analysis that went into the system, a
section to discuss the D.-Design of
the system, a section to discuss the D.-Development of the
system, a section to discuss the I.-
Implementation of the system (successful or failed) and a
section to discuss the E.-Evaluation of
the system (successful or failed). Provide the following:
1. An Introduction paragraph describing the assignment and a
short description of the
systems selected.
2. A section that describes the first Software System (with an
appropriate section Heading)
and a description of that Software System to include:

3. a. What is its purpose?
b. What operations it performs?
c. What are its inputs (resources, interfaces, when used)?
d. What are its outputs (interfaces, data)?
e. The system’s complexity/cost/feasibility.
f. Any constraints or risks found during the research.
3. Sections with details for each component of A.D.D.I.E. (with
an appropriate section
Heading) to include:
a. Success or failures identified.
b. Issues or findings identified.
c. Recommendations or lessons learned.
Your paper should then conclude with a Findings section the
compares the two systems. Provide
the following:
1. What made one system successful but make the other system
fail.
2. What could have been done to make the failed system more
successful.
3. What could have been done to make the successful system
even more successful.

4. You must include at least 3 scholarly references with citations.

Introduction
[Replace this Note with an Introduction. Do not include an
Abstract in this paper. The introduction should be
approximately one-or two paragraph of between 150 and 500
words.
The introduction needs to:
1. Summarize the details of the project and briefly describe the
important contents of your paper.
2. Define the following:
· the primary mission of the system to include any alternative or
secondary missions.
· the functions of the system.
· the type of equipment, personnel and other resources used for
the system.
· any changes or improvement that are anticipated as the system
grows and technology evolves.
· the environment where the system will operate.
3. Explain what Problem the system will address (i.e. what
makes a new system successful).
4. Introduce any other concepts or content specific to your
paper.]
Hypothesis
[Replace this Note with 1-or-more Hypothesis which is a
concise statement of what your research and analysis
discovered. As an example, “A successful system
implementation requires a robust testing plan”. Any Hypothesis
is developed after the research has been conducted. ]

5. Software System #1
[Remove this note and enter details about the Smart System
based on the topic details. Do the following for each Software
System and the elements of A.D.D.I.E.
· Complete research and evaluate the literature as it applies to
the topic.
· Analyze the research, especially noting where evidence from
multiple sources either confirm each other, conflict with each
other or supplement each other.
· Link this topic to the research question and hypothesis as well
as the next main topic.
This topic may include many paragraphs. Paragraphs should
consist of 5 to 8 sentences.]
