Assignment 3: Community Agency Observation This project will continue until the end of the course, where the cumulative project is submitted in Module 5 . Develop a Community Agency Observation project that would be of approximately ten hours duration in total at a community organization in your town or city. The community agency observation projects can be individualized and must be approved by the instructor. For example, you could observe international agencies or churches in your community that have English as a Second Language (ESL) programs. Make sure that you choose an organization where you will be able to: Assess the multicultural organizational development of the institution. Summarize a few critical incidents during which multicultural aspects were addressed (directly and indirectly). Examine the influence of diversity on human services delivery issues, such as problem identification, symptom expression, and help-seeking behavior. Analyze how those critical incidents affected your cultural self-awareness and professional relationship, specific to the provision of culturally competent services. Apply a multicultural and interdisciplinary approach to generate a proposal on what the organization can do to improve its service delivery in a population from diverse cultural or ethnic backgrounds. For each observation visit in Modules 3, 4, and 5 , you must complete a copy of the weekly self-reflection and process worksheet. Remember to write clearly and check spelling and grammar because these sheets will be included in your final product. Click here to access the template. Tasks: Develop a 3- to 4-page Community Agency Observation proposal that includes the following: The type of agency you would be observing. The reason this type of agency is important to your field. An explanation of 2–3 professional goals that you hope to reach through this observation. Make sure that your goals are SMART—specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely. ...

Assignment 2: (RA 2): Cultural Influences in Development In this assignment, you will apply your knowledge of cultural influences on development to create psychosocial workshops for a specific population. Tasks: Scenario : As a human services administrator at a local agency, one of your duties is to write descriptions of the agency's community workshops to publish in the community's resource guide delivered free of charge to all residents. These are the titles of the workshops: Single Moms : A workshop for working mothers to help them balance work and home Community Living : A workshop for those transitioning from incarceration to society Caregiver Parents : A workshop for those taking care of aging parents, while also raising a young family Parenting Teens : A workshop to enable parents to help their teenage children transition to young adulthood Your community largely comprises blue-collar workers, many of whom are working on either visas or green cards; thus, there are pockets of immigrant communities. Some of the workers are those who were reintegrated into society after prolonged incarceration (more than three years). The median age of the area is thirty-five years, and multigenerational households are commonplace. The public school system is underresourced, and truancy is a big problem. Many students do not complete high school, and standardized test scores are well below what is federally mandated for funding. Directions : For each of the four workshops, write a 100- to 200-word description on the basis of the following: Utilize what you have learned throughout the course to describe specific services that each workshop will include. Tailor each description to the community and the target audience for the workshop. Apply cultural and multicultural sensitivity within and across all descriptions. Remember, a single mother may also read the description for community living. Craft your descriptions to be readable and sensitive to all. Account for individual differences and environmental contexts that will influence developmental changes. Account for the role of culture in shaping attitudes, values, and behaviors. For each description, write a two-page rationale. Use at least three references from scholarly sources to demonstrate how you determined which services to offer for each workshop. Submission Details: By Wednesday, July 15, 2015 , prepare a 6- to 8-page analysis paper. Your response should rely upon at least three sources from professional literature. This may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov). Write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., APA format); and use accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Save your paper in a Microsoft Word document with the name M4_.

While-End Loop (Repetition Structure) PreviousNext Hide Description LOOPS, FLOWCHARTS Create your own simple program using a repetition(i.e Loop) structure. You decide the theme. Provide an overview (i.e Program Design) of what your repetition structure is doing. Then provide the Pseudocode of your example. Please keep the design simple for this exercise. Just a few lines of code is all that is needed for this response. First, write using a For loop for a fixed number of loops. Then for the same program use a While loop with a sentinel approach. When using the While loop, you will need some logic to exit the loop and you will need a loop counter. You could take one of your prompts from Road Trip and create a loop around it. I dont want to see just a loop where you just print out the loop counter. Some suggestions: 1)prompt for mileage run daily, count the days, calculate the ave miles per day, display total miles and ave daily miles 2)prompt for grocery costs per week, count the weeks, calculate the ave grocery costs per week, display total grocery costs and ave grocery costs 3)prompt for car miles driven in a month, count the months, calculate the ave miles driven per month, display total miles and ave monthly miles driven 4)prompt for number of movie tickets sold in a night, count the number of nights, calculate the ave tickets sold per night, display the total tickets sold and the ave tickets sold per night. Remember--- The accumulation of total is done inside the loop. To calculate ave you divide the accumulated total by the number of whatever you are looping. The ave is done after the end of the loop. 2: Convert Part 1 to C-code. You only need to do one of the loop types. Don't for get to indent your code. Put Part 2 - problem no.X in the Subject area and submit a .txt (or .c) file for your code. Part 3 (optional): Take your While-End repetition structure from Part 1 and modify it so that the While condition test uses a Boolean variable. You will need to initialize the Boolean variable prior to the loop as well as set it inside the loop so that you exit the loop appropriately. Dr. Janine Nkosi [email protected] 559-278-2892 Office Hours: By Appointment Location: Virtual Office Critical thinking is an important component of sociology; the sociological imagination requires us to step back, to ask questions, to identify and examine unstated assumptions, and to evaluate evidence. 1 Course Description: Scholars suggest that the only effective way to develop these skills is as a conscious course objective, perhaps even the primary goal of the course. Thus, the focus of this course is critical thinking, not social problems or social issues—the issues are the vehicle for teaching critical thinking. In this class, we discuss restoring civil society where people act not just in their own interest but also for the common good. To complement your classroom learning, each student will participate.

Outline the project’s goals, activities and timelines. Aging Latinos in Action - ALA CCCIL is committed to developing the staff and community leadership necessary to ensure that our local aging Latino population can lead the most independent and healthy lives possible. CCCIL’s ALA initiative rests on the premise that a community rooted in a culture of independent living and health requires outreach, education, engagement, action and reflection. ALA directly addresses CCCIL’s priority areas including 1) Developing an engaged constituency of community leaders with disabilities to act on local issues that will build and maintain a healthy, vibrant and independent community; and 2) Addressing the needs of the rapidly increasing aging population as it naturally increases in needs for disability services These two priorities are intimately interwoven as the cultural needs of specific populations including Latinos and aging adults pose unique opportunities and challenges as our nation re-invents how we look at access to care and health. Further, as disabilities are a natural part of the aging process, CCCIL is uniquely qualified to develop leadership in this area. With investment from the UU Fund for a Just Society, CCCIL will have the opportunity to focus on the outreach, education and action that will both serve and organize a larger constituency of Monterey County’s aging Latino adults. With the UU investment, the ALA initiative will continue its 8 month pilot project into a second year and focus on: Outreach July - December Working with our community partners (including Area Agencies on Aging, service providers & churches) to invite aging Latinos to participate in ALA Health Academies Education September - March · How community members have made a difference in local health care policy decisions. · On the core skills of community organizing including house meetings, power analysis, research actions, action and reflection with the support of our local IAF affiliate organization COPA – Communities Organized for Relational Public Action · On the services provided by CCCIL – each participant will be given the information necessary to schedule an appointment with a CCCIL Advocate to develop an Independent Living plan to help them access benefits. · In addition to the education pieces in the Health Care Academies, CCCIL may organize 1-2 workshops on specific topics identified as needs by the community that could include accessing home health care. Engagement January - June · Each Healthcare Academy will have an opportunity for small group meetings where participants will be asked a question such as What has been your experience accessing health care? Each group will report out to the larger group and potential areas for action will be ident ...

Overview: In Final Project Part Two, you will develop a multimedia presentation in which you will have a chance to reflect on what you have learned about your issue or event, yourself, and diversity through analyzing its impact on society. You will also be able to apply your communication skills and integrate multimedia elements to communicate your message to an audience. This milestone is due in Module Five. In developing this presentation, you will be able to use your analyses from the first part of this project as a starting point. The reflective nature of this activity prompts you to dig deeper and consider the implications posed by the critical analysis of your issue or event in diversity. How does studying diversity affect how you understand yourself, as well as the world around you? You’ll also be challenged to incorporate a dash of creativity to enhance your message. Multimedia Presentation: For the second part of the project, you will create a multimedia presentation that incorporates audio narration and visuals to articulate how critically analyzing your issue/event in diversity impacts your own framework of perception and ability to constructively engage in society. PowerPoint: You are required to include a combination of text and visuals in order to support your PowerPoint presentation. Specifically, the following critical elements (which align to the critical elements required of the presentation in Final Project Part Two) must be addressed: I. Issue/Event: For this section of your presentation, you will introduce the issue/event and how it relates to issues of diversity and any of the topics that have been discussed in the course.

Assignment 2: Exploring the Art of Indigenous Cultures: Part 1 All of the indigenous cultures that we have explored this week were at one time “discovered” by European explorers who often collected traditional art objects to take back with them to Europe as “curiosities.” These objets d’art inspired collectors and artists alike and opened the Western world up to new ideas, new cultures, and new art forms. This is Part 1 of a two-part assignment and spans Weeks 3 and 4 . Imagine that you are one of these intrepid European explorers who has set out to discover and collect the traditional art forms created by the four cultures we have learned about this week: India China Korea Japan As you “travel” and collect two works from each of your four cultures, you need to document some important field notes that will help you to explain what these treasures are upon your return home. These field notes need to include for each work of art: Name of the culture that produced the object Title or name of the object Date of the object Medium/materials used to create the object Current location Assignment Instructions Using the textbook and Internet sources, locate 2 traditional works of art from India, China, Japan, and Korea. Copy and paste the 8 objects into your Microsoft Word document and label each one: Name of the culture that produced the object Title of the work Date of the work Medium/materials used to create the work Current location Offer a citation of your sources for each image and the information you found in the textbook and on the Internet. Use your textbook to find out as much as you can about cultural context for each object. Go online and find some reference sources to provide you with more information. Thoroughly explain and analyze: What each object is How you think your European friends back home will react to each object, and why Why it is culturally important .

Assignment 2: Ethical (Moral) Relativism In America, many are comfortable describing ethics as follows: “Well, what’s right for me is right for me and what’s right for you is right for you. Let’s just agree to disagree.” This is an affirmation of what philosophers call individual or subjective moral relativism . In this understanding of relativism, morality is a matter of individual feelings and personal preference. In individual moral relativism, the determination of what is right and wrong in a situation varies according to the individual. Moral relativists do not believe in natural law or universal truths. Cultural moral relativism puts culture at the forefront of relative ethical decision-making. It says the individual must include the precepts of his or her culture as a prominent part of the relativistic moral action. Lawrence Kohlberg, a prominent psychologist known for recognizing moral stages of development, takes it a step farther saying cultural relativists are persons stuck in the “ Conventional Stage” of ethical development . In your paper, please define individual moral relativism and cultural moral relativism in detail, noting how they differ from each other, their strengths and weaknesses, and give your position on Kohlberg’s stance on ethical relativism. What aspects of ethical relativism do you identify and agree with? What aspects do you disagree with? Give a personal example that illustrates your stance on ethical relativism, describing how you made a moral decision in an ethical dilemma. Include at least two references to support your thoughts. Post a 500-word paper to the M4: Assignment 2 Dropbox by due Wednesday, February 11, 2015 . All written assignments and responses should follow proper citation rules for attributing sources. Please use Microsoft Word spelling/grammar checker. Be mindful of plagiarism policies. Assignment 2 Grading Criteria Maximum Points Significant critical analysis of individual ethical relativism, cultural ethical relativism, and Kohlberg’s position; including definitions, strengths, and weaknesses. 36 Described personal ethical stances on each form of relativism in relation to own personal ethical system, including whether and how personal ethical system is compatible or incompatible with relativism. 24 Used a personal example to illustrate and support stance on ethical relativism in relation to own ethical system. 16 Justified ideas and responses by using appropriate scholarly examples and at least two references from texts, Web sites, and other references. 4 Wrote in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrated ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; displayed accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation. 20 Total: 100 .

Assignment 2: Discussion—Risk Factors and Protective Factors Research studies have determined many risk factors that can lead to the development of mental health issues and mental illness. These include, but are not limited to, exposure to violence, parental divorce, poverty, genetic predisposition, and dysfunctional parenting. At the same time, there have been children who faced many of these risk factors and overcame them. These children are referred as resilient , and researchers have been eager to determine how they were able to thrive under circumstances that undo other children. Let us explore the information presented in the book The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates by Wes Moore (2010).You can also access the author’s interview with the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in the form of video, audio, or text transcript at the following Web site: Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) (Producer). (2010). Author Wes Moore’s book explores his own alternate reality [Video interview]. Retrieved from http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/entertainment/jan-june10/wesmoore_05-12.html The following is a synopsis of the book by the publisher: Wes Moore, the author of the book The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates , was surprised when one day, the police approached him for a crime he did not commit. During the investigation, he came to know of another man who had the same name—Wes Moore. The shared name was not the only coincidence: they had both grown up in the same neighborhood at about the same time. Yet, one Wes Moore went on to become a Rhodes scholar, earn honors in the military, work at the White House, and become a leader in the business community; while the other Wes Moore was sentenced to life in prison. The descriptions of the lives of both Wes Moores are illustrative of the power of heredity and environment in the shaping of a person. As boys, both Wes Moores grew up in poor, single-parent homes and did not apply themselves in primary and secondary school. The author’s father, a newscaster, died when the author was three years old. He and his two sisters were raised by his widowed mother. Before he was a teen, he became disillusioned with school and began getting into trouble in his neighborhood, even having brushes with the law for petty crimes. His mother decided to send him to military school, but he ran away five times before finally giving the school a chance. Once he decided to stay, he gained a strong sense of purpose and developed a strong work ethic. Meanwhile, the other Wes Moore, who lived in the same area of Baltimore, was about the same age, and was also being raised by a single mother. He was arrested and convicted for first-degree murder of a police officer during a jewelry store robbery. He is serving a life prison sentence. Important differences between the childhoods of the two boys are notable. The author had two college-educated parents. His father chose to stay with the family, but died at a relatively young age.

Most requirements of this assignment will require you to research answers from your text book (you must read the text book to get some answers), from the Internet, or any other reasonable source. Many Internet sources, video links, text book and Blackboard presentation reference are provided to help you START your research. I have found that any single Internet source is very incomplete and the format may not conducive for most answers required. Some students do not READ the text book or review the Power Point presentation provided to you in Blackboard. Some answers are only available from my power point presentations or update notes. You may cut-and-paste answers whenever appropriate, you should take care to synthesize your answers to include multiple sources. I would be impressed that you consult a Google image search and paste and appropriate image to supplement your answer. While I permit cut-and-paste, I do expect you use your own words so that you: 1. Organize the answer 2. Demonstrate that you have read what you have cut-and-pasted 3. Use any means that clearly displays that you have gained knowledge. If you are LEARNING the subject matter there should be no problem. If you cut-and-paste and pray that it might answer the question you will be penalized. I hate irrelevant cut-and-paste BS.

Assignment 2: Demographic Transitions Demographic transition is the process in which a nation transitions from being a less industrialized society, with high birth and death rates, to an industrialized nation, with lower birth and death rates. Many countries have already been through this transition including the United States, England, and Canada. The demographic transition to an industrialized society is detrimental for the environment because industrialized societies tend to use up nonrenewable resources and give off pollution. Industrialized nations have the largest ecological and carbon footprint relative to developing or nonindustrialized countries. Fortunately, there are some benefits to the process of demographic transition, including lower birth and death rates. Essentially, people in industrialized countries have fewer children and this in turn helps control the overall population size. Demographic transition involves the following five stages: Stage 1 High birth rate, high death rate, low population size Stage 2 High birth rate, decreasing death rate, increasing population size Stage 3 Decreasing birth rate, decreasing death rate, increasing population size Stage 4 Low birth rate, low death rate, high population size Stage 5 Low birth rate, low death rate, population size decreasing It should be noted that stage 5 is controversial, and it is sometimes not considered to be a stage. This is partially because so few countries are at this stage. The following graph depicts the various stages of demographic transition: Using the stages listed above, create a demographic and environmental timeline for one industrialized country, excluding the United States. The following are a few suggested industrialized nations: Canada England Germany Russia Italy You can download the Demographic and Environmental Timeline—United States of America to review an example of such a timeline. Include the following points in your timeline in order to examine the advantages and drawbacks of demographic transition in your selected country: Major historical changes that caused the shift from one stage to another (if available). Changing population size through time (increasing or decreasing). Increase or decrease of birth and death rates through time—particularly when considering the process of industrialization. Environmental impact of this transition. Dates (if available), series of events, and scholarly references for these items. Support your timeline with appropriate examples and a minimum of three credible resources. Present your timeline in a media that best displays the information you researched. This can be in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, or Microsoft PowerPoint. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.doc, LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.xls, or LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.ppt.

Assignment 2: Current Events and U.S. Diplomacy This paper will be a revised and expanded version of the first research paper. Based on your instructor’s feedback, you will first revise the first paper. Write three-to-four (3-4) new pages that address the following: Define presidential doctrine and summarize the regional or global events during the Cold War leading up to the formation of the presidential doctrine you wrote about in Assignment 1. Select one country you wrote about in Assignment 1 and describe the Cold War relationship that existed between the country you selected and the U.S. before the presidential doctrine was announced. Describe the relationship that currently exists between the U.S. and the country you selected in section (2) above. Describe the effect that the presidential doctrine has had on regional or global affairs since it was announced during the Cold War. Assess whether or not the presidential doctrine you wrote about in Assignment 1 doctrine had had the intended effect of altering the behavior of the country you selected in section (2) above since the doctrine was first announced. Use at least four (4) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources. To help you understand this assignment further, the following description and examples may be useful. Step 1: Define doctrine and identify why a president would want to announce one. A doctrine is an ideological platform that a president uses to advance a policy towards a country or region in order to accomplish foreign policy goals for the United States, so you will need to expand on this theme. Refer back to Assignment 1, and build on whatever doctrine you wrote about then. Say, for example, you selected the Truman Doctrine. Therefore, this is the only thing you will write about in Assignment 2 step 1. Step 2: Select one country you wrote about in Assignment 1 and describe the Cold War relationship that existed between it and the U.S. Before the presidential doctrine was announced. In the case of Truman, you would pick either the Soviet Union, Greece, or Iran, since all three were affected by his doctrine. If you are writing about the Eisenhower Doctrine, you would choose Lebanon or Egypt; if you wrote about the Kennedy Doctrine, you would have write about Cuba or Vietnam; if your wrote about the Nixon Doctrine, you would choose either Vietnam, Saudi Arabia or Iran; if you chose Carter, you would select either Iran or Afghanistan; and if you wrote about the Reagan Doctrine, you would select Nicaragua, Angola, Russia or Afghanistan (although there were several others). Step 3: Describe what effect the presidential doctrine you chose has had on regional or global affairs since it was announced during the Cold War. That is, how did the doctrine change the status quo regionally or globally after it was announced by the U.S.? What happened in Western Europe after the Truman.

Assignment 2: Controversy Surrounding the Patriot Act The USA Patriot Act was created to protect the United States against terrorism. The USA Patriot Act is an extensive piece of legislation that includes amendments to many other laws. The act has proved to be controversial because of the way it was introduced after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the U.S. Since Congress at that time was extremely receptive to increasing law enforcement capabilities to fight terrorism, it passed the Patriot Act with virtually no debate. One of the controversial sections of the act extends the capabilities of law enforcement to searching and wiretapping and includes provisions for gag orders. While conducting a search, the law enforcement officials are provided the authority to curtail certain rights of the subject of the search. Also, the law enforcement authorities may not disclose any information to the media or other authorities while conducting the search. The investment of such powers to law enforcement authorities has been praised by some and criticized by others. For more information on the USA Patriot Act review the website http://www. justice.gov/archive/ll/highlights.htm . Tasks: Write a paper comprising 3–5 pages, keeping in mind the following points: Analyze the impact the USA Patriot Act has had on security management in the private and government sectors. Analyze at least two principle legal complaints about constitutional rights. Analyze at least two benefits that accrue to individuals attempting to use the USA Patriot Act to pursue terrorists to improve security in the United States. Use at least three scholarly resources from the Argosy University online library to support your paper. Use APA in-text citations to cite the sources.
