Social responsibility includes intercultural competence, knowledge of civic responsibility, and the ability to engage effectively in regional, national, and global communities, including the workplace. These skills are rated highest as desirable skills among hiring managers. Intercultural competence includes : Knowledge of your own culture and how it has shaped your world view. Knowledge of significant characteristics of other cultures. Awareness of differences and similarities in cultures. Ability to adjust your actions to successfully interact with someone of another culture. How do we continuously improve our intercultural competence? First, by understanding that intercultural competence is complex, and it requires growing and maturing in three areas: mind set, heart set, and skill set. Mindset is the domain where as we learn and engage with others, we recognize similarities and differences. A growth mind set requires self-awareness and cultural awareness. Heart set is the domain where we learn to acknowledge, appreciate, and accept cultural differences. There are six dimensions to your heart set: Self esteem Self-monitoring Empathy Open mindedness Reserved judgment Social relaxation Listening Skill set involves our intercultural agility; the ability to adjust your actions to successfully interact with someone of another culture. Specific skills include message skills, appropriate self-disclosure, behavioral flexibility, and interaction management.

Identity and Representation Context and Description When we are asked about our identity, often we describe it in terms of the groups that we belong to, such as a sports team, club or other kinds of social groups. We may also mention our school, occupation or a specific workplace. We may think of our identity in terms of our gender, ethnicity or nationality. Where we live--the neighborhood or type of residence--may also influence our sense of who we are. The languages we speak in those groups also shapes our sense of who we are and how others see us. When we encounter a member of groups other than our own, sometimes it becomes necessary to reflect on and explain the values, assumptions and practices of the groups we belong to in order to resolve conflicts and to facilitate communication. Joining a new social group may also challenge those values, assumptions and practices that come from our pre-existing membership in other groups. The purpose of this project is to explore how identity is shaped, negotiated, and represented in relation to our membership in various groups. Write an analytical essay that explores your identity in terms of your own group memberships. For this project, you may focus on any of the following: the complex construction of identity through membership in various (and sometimes conflicting/competing) groups how you represent your identity in relation to the social expectations or stereotypes of being a member of a group (expectations vs. reality) the tension or struggle you encounter as a member of certain groups (e.g., how you represent yourself to others from different groups) how entering a new, possibly unfamiliar group (for example, moving away from home and/or starting college) affects the values and assumptions you brought with you As you explore your ideas, consider the following questions: What social groups do you belong to? How are these groups categorized (social groups, organizations, athletic teams, ethnic groups, or religious groups; by nationality, gender, neighborhoods, or communities)? What aspects of the group memberships are negotiable? Which ones are fixed or difficult to change? What aspects, characteristics, or expectations, if any, of these groups overlap with one another? Do they compete with one another? How are these groups perceived by people who are not members of those groups? Are there stereotypes associated with a certain group or groups you belong to? If so, what are they, and to what extent do you see those stereotypes occurring in others or yourself? How do those stereotypes affect you and people around you? How do your group memberships affect the ways in which you communicate with others? How do your memberships influence how you relate to others or how others relate to you? Explore all possible communities to which you belong and look for the one or ones that seem to have the richest potential for exploring your cultural identity.

Final Project: Cultural Immersion Cultural Competence is an essential aspect of counselor training. In order to begin to understand a culture, it is essential to have sustained interaction with the culture. For the final project for this course, each student will be responsible for actively investigating multicultural issues in the “real world,” by gradually immersing in a culture different from their own. The immersion project will involve experiential learning about other cultures. The intent is to increase your knowledge and sensitivity to other cultures. In order to complete this project successfully, you will need to work on it throughout the entire course. As part of the project, each of you will select a culture different from your own and participate in at least three distinct cultural immersion experiences/observations within that culture. The idea is to gradually immerse into the different culture over the course of the term. You may use the list of suggestions below to guide your immersion process or you can devise some ideas of your own. It is essential that each experience is qualitatively different from that of your own culture and that the experiences gradually become more involved directly with the culture of choice. 1. The activities you select must include active involvement in the culture/activity. In other words, you may “observe” the culture but you may not limit the activity to passive observation. Make sure that each activity involves interaction with members of the culture, either through active participation in the activity itself or through conversations with members of the culture. Of course your third activity, the personal dialogue, already requires your active participation. 2. Submit a written narrative of your immersion activities. The paper will be 8-10 pages long (typed, double-spaced, 12 point font), This paper must include the following elements: · Identification and Description of Population: This section must clearly identify the population you will be studying, how this population is different from you, and what your perceptions of this group are at this point in life. The description of differences should include both the obvious (visible differences, etc.) and the not so obvious (religious beliefs, sexual orientation, etc.). Please state all the differences you can identify. Your perceptions of this group should include information such as what you were told about this group as you were growing up, any beliefs/perceptions/assumptions you have about this group, what your sources of information about this group have been in the past, and why you have an interest in this group. In this section, you must make a case for how this person is different from you and why this experience will be challenging for you. · Observation: You will need to complete at least three observational activities of the group you have chosen to study. Examples and suggestions of observational activities are listed below. If y ...

End with thesis statement. EX. Consistent observation, [specific documents], and an interview with [expert/novice name & title] reveal [discourse community name]’s mechanisms/ communicative aims/goals/ideas about [concept] (2 SUMMARIZE SWALES’S CHARACTERISTICS One strategy: • Introduce a characteristic (w/citation) • Explain characteristic (w/citation) • Provide examples Ex. Swales requires “specific lexis” of any group th at might be called a discou rse community (222). He does not rule out terms that can be used in other contexts (222). For instance, a group of roommates might be just as concerned with parking as a communi ty of factory workers, and words related to that idea can be found in both communities. His em phasis, however, is on “shared and specialized terminology” as a way to understand group dynami cs through communicative formats (222). It would be more valuable, for example, to know that in Professor Myers’s class, “DCA” is a common abbreviation for a major assignment than to know that instructor uses the phrase “freak out” frequently. 3 BASIC INFO • Consider • What makes this group a discourse community? • What makes the analysis of this DC unique or interesting? • What matters to members of the community?

Introduction In life, there are universal laws that govern everything we do. These laws are so perfect that if you were to align yourself with them, you could have so much prosperity that it would be coming out of your ears. This is because God created the universe in the image and likeness of him. It is failure to follow the universal laws that causes one to fail. The laws that were created consisted of the following: · Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude states that you must show gratitude for what you have. By having gratitude, you speed your growth and success faster than you normally would. This is because if you appreciate the things you have, even if they are small things, you are open to receiving more. Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction states that if you focus your attention on something long enough you will get it. It all starts in the mind. You think of something and when you think of it, you manifest that in your life. This could be a mental picture of a check or actual cash, but you think about it with an image. Law of Karma: the Law of Karma states that if you go out and do something bad, it will come back to you with something bad. If you do well for others, good things happen to you. The principle here is to know you can create good or bad through your actions. There will always be an effect no matter what. Law of Love: the Law of Love states that love is more than emotion or feeling; it is energy. It has substance and can be felt. Love is also considered acceptance of oneself or others. This means that no matter what you do in life if you do not approach or leave the situation out of love, it won't work. Law of Allowing: The Law of Allowing states that for us to get what we want, we must be receptive to it. We can't merely say to the Universe that we want something if we don't allow ourselves to receive it. This will defeat our purpose for wanting it in the first place. Law of Vibration: the Law of Vibration states that if you wish on something and use your thoughts to visualize it, you are halfway there to get it. To complete the cycle you must use the Law of Vibration to feel part of what you want. Do this and you'll have anything you want in life. For everything to function properly there has to be structure. Without structure, our world, or universe, would be in utter chaos. Successful people understand universal laws and apply them daily. They may not acknowledge that to you, but they do follow the laws. There is a higher power and this higher power controls the universe and what we get out of it. People who know this, but wish to direct their own lives, follow the reasons. Successful people don't sit around and say "I'll try," they say yes and act on it. Chapter - 1 The Law of Attraction The law of attraction is the most powerful force in the universe. If you work against it, it can only bring you pain and misery. Successful people know this but have kept it hidden from the lower class for centuries because th

How would you characterize the worldview of the man in the video? Civic Engagement Active participation in the public life of a local, national, and/or global community in an informed, committed, and constructive manner. Civic engagement includes focusing on a shared or common goal that enhances the defined “community.” Civic engagement can start by learning about how to get involved with the intention of becoming involved in a shared goal. Adapted from Balls Organista, P., Marin, G., & Chun, K.M. (2010). The Psychology of Ethnic Groups in the United States. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications, Inc.

Contemporary theatre, both commercial and non-commercial, has seen a huge increase in diversity -- diversity among playwrights and their plays, actors, directors, designers and theatre practitioners. Diverse artists have always shown themselves to be an integral part of theatre and theatre history, though in contemporary theatre they are sometimes referred to “artists of a diverse background” instead of just theatre artists. These artists come from a selection of groups, cultures and categories including, but not limited by: Gender-Specific (i.e. Female) Native American Hispanic African-American Asian-American Gay and Lesbian and others This assignment requires you to... select one person (playwright, actor, designer, etc.) from the groups listed above explore, prepare and discuss his or her historical, social and cultural importance to what we call “diverse contemporary theatre” today (the focus here is on theatre not their impact to film, television or music) Create your response, in the Assignment submission box below (not in the Comments field), as a journal or diary entry. This response will not be read by your fellow classmates. The journal should be 1-2 pages long, approximately 400-500 words minimum. Be careful of spelling, grammar, capitalization, and punctuation...proofread and edit your work as necessary. Please cite your sources if any are used, including any videos or links used. This assignment will be graded according to the Journal Rubric attached.

Contemporary prison overcrowding: short-term fixes to a perpetual problem James M.A. Pittsa, O. Hayden Griffin, IIIb* and W. Wesley Johnsona aUniversity of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg, MS, USA; bUniversity of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, USA (Received 6 February 2013; accepted 8 June 2013) Since the United States began using incarceration as its cornerstone of punishment for those who transgress the law, this method of discipline has been fraught with problems. One of the most ubiquitous problems found within correctional institutions are the conditions inmates are forced to live in particularly, when penal facilities are overcrowded. These conditions have led to extensive litigation, compelling the judicial system to change. Although overall conditions have improved, a perpetually increasing inmate population continues to plague correctional systems as costs continue to rise. As state budgets have become strained during the economic downturns, many states’ officials view less punitive measures as possible solutions to the excessive costs of administering punishment and overcrowded inmate populations. Due to facility overcrowding, several states have actually been placed under federal court order to reduce their inmate population in order to protect inmates’ constitutional rights. Although this has resulted in a change of policies to help alleviate prison overcrowding, there is little evidence these are anything more than short-term fixes to a problem with no end in sight. Keywords: prison overcrowding; inmate population; sentencing; corrections policy Introduction In the United States, like many other affluent nations, law has become the blueprint by which society is governed. The concept of punishment is typically connected to or associated with the law, and usually follows as a consequence of non-compliance with those directives. As such, the means by which a society administers punishment is often thoroughly scrutinized to insure fairness and efficiency in obtaining justice. Incarceration has been the dominant form of punishment in American society for serious crimes (Ross, 2010; Verro, 2010). In fact, some would argue that incarceration has been overused to such a degree that it constitutes an inefficient use of resources. In recent years, many states have become fiscally strained as the practice of mass incarceration has come under increased criticism (Ekland-Olson, Barrick, & Cohen, 1983; Harris, 1991; Lucken, 2011; Nagel 1977). As such, many of these states are beginning to re-evaluate their use of incarceration in an attempt to better *Corresponding author.

Contemporary Issues Team B PSY/480 Clinical Psychology Title Page 1 Contemporary Issues in Clinical Psychology Changes in Family Structure Divorce Remarriage: step-parent, step-children and step-sibling(s) Death: parent or sibling Birth: new baby or grandchild Cultural Diversity Discrimination Oppression Stereotyping When someone seeks out a psychologist for assistance in overcoming issues related to a change in their familial structure or because of racial or ethnic discrimination, the psychologist should be experienced in the particular challenges this patient is facing. Clinical psychology has had to develop new ways to treat these patients as previous strategies were not as beneficial as they could be. Clinical psychologists also needed to evolve as psychology did so that they have the knowledge and experience to assist patients in these particular situations. 2 Changes to Family Structure Separation Divorce As time continues to go on, the American family is not what is once was. Over the last 50 years there has been a dramatic rise in divorce; the highest it has ever been in the U.S. Divorce affects all types of marriages, whether it a heterosexual couples, blended couples, and even homosexual couples. “This marks a shift away from the ideal of the companion marriage popularized in the early 1920’s to self-aspiration, enhanced freedom, and egalitarian relationships” (Castelloe, 2011). Since the 1960’s the rate of divorce and separation has risen because of the fact that “society has become more inclusive and women more financially independent, resulting in increased tension in marriages between individualization and what psychoanalyst Erik Erickson described as “generativity,” a concern for the welfare of others” (Castelloe, 2011). 3 Population Most Affected Not one race, ethnicity, culture. High Conflict Financially Unstable Children of Divorce Divorce is not exactly privy to one specific culture or ethnicity; many people of all races become separated or divorced. Since 1970, the rate of divorce, at 72%, has declined to 59% (Friedman, n.d.). Jeffrey Drew conducted a study in 2009 on couples who argued about finances. He concluded that couples who argued about finances more than once a week were more than 30% likely to get divorced than couples who argue about it only a few times a month. “According to Drew, couples who disagree about money less than once per month run a 30-40% increase in the risk of divorce” (Divorce Source, 1996). The rate of divorce ultimately increases as the arguments become more often, several times a week, daily; the risk increases 125% to 160% (Divorce Source, 1996). It is believed that children who come from a separated family or divorced family are going to be two times more likely to get divorced than a child whose parents remained together (Castelloe, 2011). 4 Family Structure changes and its effect on Psychology Children Men Women Psychology is greatly effected by chang.

Consumer Brand Metrics Q3 2015 Eater Archetypes: Brand usage and preferences by consumer segment The restaurant industry has long relied on demographic factors to identify and prioritize consumer groups. For example, many brands currently obsess over attracting Millennials—some without pausing to consider the variations among consumers within this demographic cohort. In addition to life stages, consumer attitudes about health, value, convenience and the overall role of foodservice in their lives drive significant differences in preferences and behavior. With these distinctions in mind, we have updated the Consumer Brand Metrics (CBM) survey with questions that allow us to segment consumers into one of seven Eater Archetypes. Each segment has a distinct psychographic profile, which is outlined in our recent Consumer Foodservice Landscape. Accordingly, their patronage of the segments and brands tracked in CBM varies. This paper explores some differences we can discern after the initial quarterly results, including the archetypes’ segment usage, brand patronage and occasion dynamics. Examining CBM data by Eater Archetype reveals nuances that complement a demographic profile of a chain’s guests. By Colleen Rothman, Manager, Consumer Insights To learn more about the Consumer Brand Metrics program or to sign up for future Spotlight by Consumer Brand Metrics white papers, please contact Bart Henyan, Senior Marketing Manager, at [email protected] Consumer Brand Metrics Q3 2015 Segmenting consumers by psychographic factors, rather than just demographic characteristics, can lead to a better understanding of the consumers that matter to your brand and how to appeal to them. Key Takeaways Busy Balancers and Functional Eaters drive usage across restaurants and convenience stores. Full-service restaurant (FSR) operators may also consider targeting Foodservice Hobbyists and Affluent Socializers, as these archetypes comprise more than a quarter of FSR patrons, on average. How does foodser vice segment usage vary by archetype? Driven by unique needs and motivations, Eater Archetypes gravitate to a wide variety of brands. For example, McDonald’s, Burger King and Whataburger each disproportionately attract unique archetypes (Habitual Matures, Bargain Hunters and Functional Eaters, respectively). Which chains do each archetype visit most frequently? Archetypes that patronize the same restaurant may not use the brand the same way. For example, usage varies by daypart, with afternoon snacks skewing to Busy Balancers and late-night meals driven by Functional Eaters. Archetypes also diverge in their party composition, as visits with children skew to Busy Balancers. Which archetypes drive specific occasions?
