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.

The best communities Methods of interpretation updated 2023 doc7.docx
The best communities methods of interpretation" can be understood as the most effective approaches or strategies employed by communities to interpret and understand information, events, or experiences. In this context, communities refer to groups of individuals with shared interests or characteristics.
Interpretation methods within communities may vary depending on the community's goals, cultural norms, or specific contexts. They can include collaborative sense-making processes, storytelling, cultural practices, or other forms of collective interpretation. The term "best" in this context implies the most successful or impactful methods that have proven to be effective within specific communities.
These interpretation methods often involve active engagement, dialogue, and shared meaning-making among community members. They enable the community to make sense of their experiences, preserve cultural heritage, pass down knowledge, or collectively navigate challenges and changes.
It's important to note that the effectiveness of interpretation methods can vary based on the community's needs and goals. What may work effectively for one community may not be suitable for another. Therefore, the concept of "best" in this context is subjective and depends on the specific community's objectives and cultural dynamics.

Vulnerable Population Summary and Proposed Program
The first of your two written assignments for the course will provide a beginning framework that you will utilize in the development of your
Final Project: a proposal for a community-based program in your area.
For this first written assignment, you will select one of the vulnerable groups identified in the text that will serve as your target population of interest throughout the duration of your next written assignment and Final Project.
Select one among the following groups from Chapter 1:
Vulnerable mothers and children
Abused individuals
******************************Chronically ill and disabled people (This is my choice) *************
People diagnosed with HIV/AIDS
People diagnosed with mental conditions
Suicide- and homicide-liable people
People affected by alcohol and substance abuse
Indigent and homeless people
Immigrants and refugees
Groups for special consideration (you may propose a different vulnerable population at the consent of the instructor)
Once you have selected a group of interest, write a three page paper that covers the following:
Discuss the impact that at least two of the factors below have on the vulnerability of your chosen group:
Age
Gender
Culture/Ethnicity
Income
Analyze the intersection of social, political, and economic factors affecting vulnerability (must address all three factors).
Draft the design of a new model program, not currently existent within your community. Provide a two- to- three paragraph statement that introduces your proposed community program. This section is tentative and might change as you conduct more research. At a minimum, however, items to address should include:
An explanation of the issues and risk factors experienced by the selected population.
An evaluation of the health needs of the group and a proposed continuum of care level (preventive, treatment, or long-term care) based on the group’s issues, risk factors, and needs. Justify the proposed level with supportive research/evidence.
A description of one to two proposed services your program will include.
Your assignment should be a minimum of three pages in length (excluding title and reference pages), and should include a minimum of three scholarly sources cited according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

The document discusses concepts related to community, including definitions, elements, characteristics, types, structure, formation, and differences between community and society. It provides definitions of community as a group of people living together in a particular area or sharing common interests or identities. Community elements include groups or individuals, a definite geographical area, and feelings of togetherness. Communities can be classified by location, interests, circumstances, and other factors. The structure of communities is influenced by aspects like gender, class, wealth, and occupation. Formation requires elements such as participatory decision making and clear agreements. The key difference between community and society is that a community shares common traits while a society's members adhere to common laws and customs.

Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.
The Culture Divide
Prepare: For those with little understanding of the role of journalists in our society, the profession could be seen through a very small lens of one that is simply about reporting the facts. While there may be a bit of truth to this with regard to hard news coverage, cultural journalism is a much deeper phenomenon. This genre of journalism is more about understanding the connections and underlying factors for the news that we report on. Cultural journalism refers to writing and reporting that lends itself to the particular ways of life in a society, and it can encompass customs, ideologies, or art forms. We are finding that cultural journalism is quite popular among citizen journalists and those in community newsrooms who possess the time and interest to discover the connections. For this discussion, we will focus on cultural journalism from the perspective of community journalism. Read the At the Community Level: Cultural Competence and News Coverage of a City Neighborhood (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. article by Garyantes (2012).
Reflect: After carefully reading the article, consider your feelings on journalists in your own community demonstrating “cultural competence” in news reporting. Do you feel as though this is an important aspect of reporting? How might it impact news reports in your community?
Write: After considering the questions above, write a 250- to 300-word response that discusses how you feel about “cultural competence.” In your initial post, you must include at least one in-text citation from the reading material and an additional in-text citation from a scholarly source that you locate in the Ashford University Library or from another credible source. At the end of your post, include your name and a full reference for all sources cited in the body of your post. All citations and references must adhere to APA style guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
Check It! Your post must be submitted through Grammarly prior to submission.
Respond to Peers: After you have written your initial post, read the posts of your peers and respond to at least two others about their views on a journalist’s “cultural competence.” Your responses should address them by name, be between 100 and 150 words in length, and you must include your name at the end of each response.

This assignment will ask you to provide a comprehensive overview of .docx
This assignment will ask you to provide a comprehensive overview of the community that you have chosen. Only by knowing the people, their history, values, problems, and concerns will you be able to gain an understanding of the role you can play in their lives.
In preparation for the final project in this course where you will write a grant proposal with an accompanying presentation, you will need to develop a clear understanding of the community you seek to serve with your project. In this assignment, you will construct a specific service project that meets the needs of the particular community it engages. Use a variety of sources to establish a preliminary picture of the community in order to gauge the concerns of actual members within the community itself.
Do the following:
Compile research from both scholarly as well as local sources such as newspaper articles, interviews, town-meeting notes, etc., to develop a “big picture” of the community.
Conduct research, including interviews, questionnaires, and surveys, in the field to supplement this information if such information will help in further developing your understanding of the community.
Here are some topics to help guide your research:
History:
When was the community started?
Why was it started?
What has been the main economic base for the community? Has it changed since its founding? If so, how has this affected the community?
What about the history of minority groups in the area?
People:
Who are the important people (elected officials, church leaders, community leaders, etc.)?
Who works with these individuals to support their efforts (community organizations, churches, non-profit organizations, local governments, etc.)?
Groups:
What are the various groups within the community (geographic, social, racial, ethnic, etc.)?
Who represents the interests of each? Are there any particular organizations that serve particular groups?
How do these groups interact with one another? Are there groups that tend to work together or at cross-purposes? If so, identify how and why such relationships develop.
Are there any particular groups that undertake work of a similar nature as your proposed project?
Problems:
What problems do you see?
What problems do the others see?
What problems do the important people that you identified see?
What problems do government officials see?
What problems do the smaller groups within the community see?
Compile your research into a paper. Include the following details:
An introduction of your proposed action.
An assessment of the needs of the particular community you seek to serve based on the research conducted above.
An overview of the potential impact this plan might have on the community (both positive and negative).
An assessment of how your initial proposal can be modified to meet these particular concerns.
Write a 5–6-page paper in Word format. Please be sure to use reliable and valid research or report data from at least eight references (four of which must b.
In this assignment, you will apply your knowledge of cultural influe.docx
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.

Consider the two films shown in class "Night and Fog", and "Mr. Tanimoto's Journey". What do you think are the salient similarities, if any? What are the crucial differences? Why?
2- Slavery New & Old
Bales notes that New Slavery is very different from Old Slavery. What are some of the differences he describes? What are the links between New Slavery and the Globalized Economy?
Bales also notes that there are things we each can do to end slavery, but that this requires taking a "very dispassionate look at slaves as a commodity" (Bales 250). Why?
Finally, he suggests that activism without a broad-based explanatory framework is worse than none at all. Why does he think so? Do you agree? Why or why not?
3- Human- The Film
How, if at all, does the film "Human" resonate with or reflect themes explored in What Matters? Which of the characters was most compelling to you, and why?
4- Culture and Power Create Scarcity
Recognize that power and culture are inseparable, one does not exist without the other, and currently the dominant form of culture is based upon industrial production requiring essentially infinite energy supplies – which do not in fact exist. So we collectively face a terrible problem. And yet the greatest burden of this problem is being borne by those least able to do anything about it, while at the same time those who benefit most from the economic inequalities imposed by the culture of industrial production and imposed scarcity are unwilling or unable to recognize that things cannot continue as they are. This is our dilemma; one we must solve now or ignore and risk facing unimaginable chaos later.
Concerned about the ultimate implications of his theories about space, time and energy, Einstein pointed out that 20th century problems would never be solved by 19th century thinking. Indeed, by the same token, 21st century problems will not be solved with 20th century thinking either. The same can be said for oversimplified false dichotomies between 'conservatives' and 'liberals' and particularly 'capitalism' and 'communism'. The latter pair of binary opposites are 19th century ideas while the former are legacies of the 20th century.
We are well beyond the political and economic circumstances that informed such artificially limited conceptualizations of the human condition in many, many ways. And yet, these same tired inaccurate philosophical cages are still supposed to encompass the almost infinite variety and subtleties of contemporary global and local political economies? This is essentially the problem Einstein was concerned with when he noted the conceptual poverty of such willed ignorance. Our technological capacity has outstripped our cultural mechanisms of maintaining social control (consider greed: how much is enough?) and exacerbated our ability to impose physically violent solutions to complex and entirely negotiable problems. Our challenge now is to reassert the primacy of compassion and respect for differenc.

Enamel fluorosis is a hypomineralization of the
enamel caused by the ingestion of an amount of
fluoride that is above optimal levels during
enamel formation.1,2 Clinically, the appearance of
enamel fluorosis can vary. In its mildest form, it
appears as faint white lines or streaks visible
only to trained examiners under controlled exam-
ination conditions. In its pronounced form, fluo-
rosis manifests as white mottling of the teeth in
which noticeable white lines or streaks often
have coalesced into larger opaque areas.2,3 Brown
staining or pitting of the enamel also may be
present.2,3 In its most severe form, actual break-
down of the enamel may occur.2,3
In recent years, there has been an increase in
the prevalence of children seen with enamel fluo-
A B S T R A C T
Background. Few studies have evaluated the
impact of specific fluoride sources on the prevalence of
enamel fluorosis in the population. The author con-
ducted research to determine attributable risk percent
estimates for mild-to-moderate enamel fluorosis in two
populations of middle-school–aged children.
Methods. The author recruited two groups of
children 10 to 14 years of age. One group of 429 had
grown up in nonfluoridated communities; the other
group of 234 had grown up in optimally fluoridated
communities. Trained examiners measured enamel
fluorosis using the Fluorosis Risk Index and meas-
ured early childhood fluoride exposure using a ques-
tionnaire completed by the parent. The author then
calculated attributable risk percent estimates, or the
proportion of cases of mild-to-moderate enamel fluo-
rosis associated with exposure to specific early fluo-
ride sources, based on logistic regression models.
Results. In the nonfluoridated study sample,
sixty-five percent of the enamel fluorosis cases were
attributed to fluoride supplementation under the pre-
1994 protocol. An additional 34 percent were
explained by the children having brushed more than
once per day during the first two years of life. In the
optimally fluoridated study sample, 68 percent of the
enamel fluorosis cases were explained by the children
using more than a pea-sized amount of toothpaste
during the first year of life, 13 percent by having
been inappropriately given a fluoride supple.

The best communities Methods of interpretation updated 2023 doc7.docx
The best communities methods of interpretation" can be understood as the most effective approaches or strategies employed by communities to interpret and understand information, events, or experiences. In this context, communities refer to groups of individuals with shared interests or characteristics.
Interpretation methods within communities may vary depending on the community's goals, cultural norms, or specific contexts. They can include collaborative sense-making processes, storytelling, cultural practices, or other forms of collective interpretation. The term "best" in this context implies the most successful or impactful methods that have proven to be effective within specific communities.
These interpretation methods often involve active engagement, dialogue, and shared meaning-making among community members. They enable the community to make sense of their experiences, preserve cultural heritage, pass down knowledge, or collectively navigate challenges and changes.
It's important to note that the effectiveness of interpretation methods can vary based on the community's needs and goals. What may work effectively for one community may not be suitable for another. Therefore, the concept of "best" in this context is subjective and depends on the specific community's objectives and cultural dynamics.

The first of your two written assignments for the course will provide a beginning framework that you will utilize in the development of your
Final Project: a proposal for a community-based program in your area.
For this first written assignment, you will select one of the vulnerable groups identified in the text that will serve as your target population of interest throughout the duration of your next written assignment and Final Project.
Select one among the following groups from Chapter 1:
Vulnerable mothers and children
Abused individuals
******************************Chronically ill and disabled people (This is my choice) *************
People diagnosed with HIV/AIDS
People diagnosed with mental conditions
Suicide- and homicide-liable people
People affected by alcohol and substance abuse
Indigent and homeless people
Immigrants and refugees
Groups for special consideration (you may propose a different vulnerable population at the consent of the instructor)
Once you have selected a group of interest, write a three page paper that covers the following:
Discuss the impact that at least two of the factors below have on the vulnerability of your chosen group:
Age
Gender
Culture/Ethnicity
Income
Analyze the intersection of social, political, and economic factors affecting vulnerability (must address all three factors).
Draft the design of a new model program, not currently existent within your community. Provide a two- to- three paragraph statement that introduces your proposed community program. This section is tentative and might change as you conduct more research. At a minimum, however, items to address should include:
An explanation of the issues and risk factors experienced by the selected population.
An evaluation of the health needs of the group and a proposed continuum of care level (preventive, treatment, or long-term care) based on the group’s issues, risk factors, and needs. Justify the proposed level with supportive research/evidence.
A description of one to two proposed services your program will include.
Your assignment should be a minimum of three pages in length (excluding title and reference pages), and should include a minimum of three scholarly sources cited according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Unit.2.6.letters to editor
This document provides information about letters to the editor, including their purpose, format, and common topics. Letters to the editor allow readers to express their views on issues of public concern that are printed in newspapers and magazines. They can be used to raise awareness, persuade others, and stimulate discussion on a variety of topics including social issues, politics, economics, and health. The document includes an example letter about water supply issues and images of published letters in a newspaper. Guidelines are presented for writing effective letters to editors.

The document discusses concepts related to community, including definitions, elements, characteristics, types, structure, formation, and differences between community and society. It provides definitions of community as a group of people living together in a particular area or sharing common interests or identities. Community elements include groups or individuals, a definite geographical area, and feelings of togetherness. Communities can be classified by location, interests, circumstances, and other factors. The structure of communities is influenced by aspects like gender, class, wealth, and occupation. Formation requires elements such as participatory decision making and clear agreements. The key difference between community and society is that a community shares common traits while a society's members adhere to common laws and customs.

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.
The Culture Divide
Prepare: For those with little understanding of the role of journalists in our society, the profession could be seen through a very small lens of one that is simply about reporting the facts. While there may be a bit of truth to this with regard to hard news coverage, cultural journalism is a much deeper phenomenon. This genre of journalism is more about understanding the connections and underlying factors for the news that we report on. Cultural journalism refers to writing and reporting that lends itself to the particular ways of life in a society, and it can encompass customs, ideologies, or art forms. We are finding that cultural journalism is quite popular among citizen journalists and those in community newsrooms who possess the time and interest to discover the connections. For this discussion, we will focus on cultural journalism from the perspective of community journalism. Read the At the Community Level: Cultural Competence and News Coverage of a City Neighborhood (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. article by Garyantes (2012).
Reflect: After carefully reading the article, consider your feelings on journalists in your own community demonstrating “cultural competence” in news reporting. Do you feel as though this is an important aspect of reporting? How might it impact news reports in your community?
Write: After considering the questions above, write a 250- to 300-word response that discusses how you feel about “cultural competence.” In your initial post, you must include at least one in-text citation from the reading material and an additional in-text citation from a scholarly source that you locate in the Ashford University Library or from another credible source. At the end of your post, include your name and a full reference for all sources cited in the body of your post. All citations and references must adhere to APA style guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
Check It! Your post must be submitted through Grammarly prior to submission.
Respond to Peers: After you have written your initial post, read the posts of your peers and respond to at least two others about their views on a journalist’s “cultural competence.” Your responses should address them by name, be between 100 and 150 words in length, and you must include your name at the end of each response.

This assignment will ask you to provide a comprehensive overview of .docx
This assignment will ask you to provide a comprehensive overview of the community that you have chosen. Only by knowing the people, their history, values, problems, and concerns will you be able to gain an understanding of the role you can play in their lives.
In preparation for the final project in this course where you will write a grant proposal with an accompanying presentation, you will need to develop a clear understanding of the community you seek to serve with your project. In this assignment, you will construct a specific service project that meets the needs of the particular community it engages. Use a variety of sources to establish a preliminary picture of the community in order to gauge the concerns of actual members within the community itself.
Do the following:
Compile research from both scholarly as well as local sources such as newspaper articles, interviews, town-meeting notes, etc., to develop a “big picture” of the community.
Conduct research, including interviews, questionnaires, and surveys, in the field to supplement this information if such information will help in further developing your understanding of the community.
Here are some topics to help guide your research:
History:
When was the community started?
Why was it started?
What has been the main economic base for the community? Has it changed since its founding? If so, how has this affected the community?
What about the history of minority groups in the area?
People:
Who are the important people (elected officials, church leaders, community leaders, etc.)?
Who works with these individuals to support their efforts (community organizations, churches, non-profit organizations, local governments, etc.)?
Groups:
What are the various groups within the community (geographic, social, racial, ethnic, etc.)?
Who represents the interests of each? Are there any particular organizations that serve particular groups?
How do these groups interact with one another? Are there groups that tend to work together or at cross-purposes? If so, identify how and why such relationships develop.
Are there any particular groups that undertake work of a similar nature as your proposed project?
Problems:
What problems do you see?
What problems do the others see?
What problems do the important people that you identified see?
What problems do government officials see?
What problems do the smaller groups within the community see?
Compile your research into a paper. Include the following details:
An introduction of your proposed action.
An assessment of the needs of the particular community you seek to serve based on the research conducted above.
An overview of the potential impact this plan might have on the community (both positive and negative).
An assessment of how your initial proposal can be modified to meet these particular concerns.
Write a 5–6-page paper in Word format. Please be sure to use reliable and valid research or report data from at least eight references (four of which must b.
In this assignment, you will apply your knowledge of cultural influe.docx
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.

2- Slavery New & Old
Bales notes that New Slavery is very different from Old Slavery. What are some of the differences he describes? What are the links between New Slavery and the Globalized Economy?
Bales also notes that there are things we each can do to end slavery, but that this requires taking a "very dispassionate look at slaves as a commodity" (Bales 250). Why?
Finally, he suggests that activism without a broad-based explanatory framework is worse than none at all. Why does he think so? Do you agree? Why or why not?

How, if at all, does the film "Human" resonate with or reflect themes explored in What Matters? Which of the characters was most compelling to you, and why?
4- Culture and Power Create Scarcity
Recognize that power and culture are inseparable, one does not exist without the other, and currently the dominant form of culture is based upon industrial production requiring essentially infinite energy supplies – which do not in fact exist. So we collectively face a terrible problem. And yet the greatest burden of this problem is being borne by those least able to do anything about it, while at the same time those who benefit most from the economic inequalities imposed by the culture of industrial production and imposed scarcity are unwilling or unable to recognize that things cannot continue as they are. This is our dilemma; one we must solve now or ignore and risk facing unimaginable chaos later.
Concerned about the ultimate implications of his theories about space, time and energy, Einstein pointed out that 20th century problems would never be solved by 19th century thinking. Indeed, by the same token, 21st century problems will not be solved with 20th century thinking either. The same can be said for oversimplified false dichotomies between 'conservatives' and 'liberals' and particularly 'capitalism' and 'communism'. The latter pair of binary opposites are 19th century ideas while the former are legacies of the 20th century.
We are well beyond the political and economic circumstances that informed such artificially limited conceptualizations of the human condition in many, many ways. And yet, these same tired inaccurate philosophical cages are still supposed to encompass the almost infinite variety and subtleties of contemporary global and local political economies? This is essentially the problem Einstein was concerned with when he noted the conceptual poverty of such willed ignorance. Our technological capacity has outstripped our cultural mechanisms of maintaining social control (consider greed: how much is enough?) and exacerbated our ability to impose physically violent solutions to complex and entirely negotiable problems. Our challenge now is to reassert the primacy of compassion and respect for differenc.

Enamel fluorosis is a hypomineralization of the
enamel caused by the ingestion of an amount of
fluoride that is above optimal levels during
enamel formation.1,2 Clinically, the appearance of
enamel fluorosis can vary. In its mildest form, it
appears as faint white lines or streaks visible
only to trained examiners under controlled exam-
ination conditions. In its pronounced form, fluo-
rosis manifests as white mottling of the teeth in
which noticeable white lines or streaks often
have coalesced into larger opaque areas.2,3 Brown
staining or pitting of the enamel also may be
present.2,3 In its most severe form, actual break-
down of the enamel may occur.2,3
In recent years, there has been an increase in
the prevalence of children seen with enamel fluo-
A B S T R A C T
Background. Few studies have evaluated the
impact of specific fluoride sources on the prevalence of
enamel fluorosis in the population. The author con-
ducted research to determine attributable risk percent
estimates for mild-to-moderate enamel fluorosis in two
populations of middle-school–aged children.
Methods. The author recruited two groups of
children 10 to 14 years of age. One group of 429 had
grown up in nonfluoridated communities; the other
group of 234 had grown up in optimally fluoridated
communities. Trained examiners measured enamel
fluorosis using the Fluorosis Risk Index and meas-
ured early childhood fluoride exposure using a ques-
tionnaire completed by the parent. The author then
calculated attributable risk percent estimates, or the
proportion of cases of mild-to-moderate enamel fluo-
rosis associated with exposure to specific early fluo-
ride sources, based on logistic regression models.
Results. In the nonfluoridated study sample,
sixty-five percent of the enamel fluorosis cases were
attributed to fluoride supplementation under the pre-
1994 protocol. An additional 34 percent were
explained by the children having brushed more than
once per day during the first two years of life. In the
optimally fluoridated study sample, 68 percent of the
enamel fluorosis cases were explained by the children
using more than a pea-sized amount of toothpaste
during the first year of life, 13 percent by having
been inappropriately given a fluoride supple.

“What you mean, pulling out? How can they do that?”
“They can, they will, they are.”
“Just a couple?”
“Every single one here in the South!”
“No.”
“Yes!”
“I got to see that. I don’t believe it. Where they going — Africa?”
A silence.
“Mars.”
“You mean the planet Mars?”
“That’s right.”
The men stood up in the hot shade of the hardware porch. Someone quit lighting a pipe. Somebody else spat out into the hot dust of noon.
“They can’t leave, they can’t do that.”
“They’re doing it, anyways.”
“Where’d you hear this?”
“It’s everywhere, on the radio a minute ago, just come through.”
Like a series of dusty statues, the men came to life.
Samuel Teece, the hardware proprietor, laughed uneasily. “I wondered what happened to Silly. I sent him on my bike an hour ago. He ain’t come back from Mrs. Bordman’s yet. You think that black fool just pedaled off to Mars?”
The men snorted.
“All I say is, he better bring back my bike. I don’t take stealing from no one, by God.”
“Listen!”
The men collided irritably with each other, turning.
Far up the street the levee seemed to have broken. The black warm waters descended and engulfed the town. Between the blazing white banks of the town stores, among the tree silences, a black tide flowed. Like a kind of summer molasses, it poured turgidly forth upon the cinnamon-dusty road. It surged slow, slow, and it was men and women and horses and barking dogs, and it was little boys and girls. And from the mouths of the people partaking of this tide came the sound of a river. A summer-.

1-Experiences with a Hybrid Class: Tips And Pitfalls
College Teaching Methods & Styles Journal, 2006, Vol.2(2), p.9-12
Notes
This paper will discuss the author's experiences with converting a traditional classroom-based course to a hybrid class, using a mix of traditional class time and web-support. The course which was converted is a lower-level human relations class, which has been offered in both the traditional classroom-based setting and as an asynchronous online course. After approximately five years of offering the two formats independently, the author decided to experiment with improving the traditional course by adopting more of the web-based support and incorporating more research and written assignments in "out of class" time. The course has evolved into approximately 60% traditional classroom meetings and 40% assignments and other assessments out of class. The instructor's assessment of the hybrid nature of the class is that students are more challenged by the mix of research and writing assignments with traditional assessments, and the assignments are structured in such a way as to make them more "customizable" for each student. Each student can find some topics that they are interested in to pursue in greater depth as research assignments. However, the hybrid nature of the class has resulted in an increased workload for the instructor. The course has been well received by the students, who have indicated that they find the hybrid format appealing.

Notes
The goal of this study is to understand if there are any variations regarding student engagement and course outcomes based on the course format. A new course format was introduced in fall of 2006 that involves a hybrid approach (large lecture with small recitations) with a higher level of student enrollment than traditional research methods courses. During the same time frame, the discipline maintained its traditional research methods courses as well. A survey was administered to all students enrolled in research methods regardless of course format in fall 2006 and spring 2007. Student responses are discussed, including information concerning the preparation, design, cost and benefits of offering a hybrid research methods course format.

The authors respond to both the general and specific con-
cerns raised in Fischer, Stein, and Heikkinen’s (2009)
commentary on their article (Steinberg, Cauffman, Wool-
ard, Graham, & Banich, 2009), in which they drew on
studies of adolescent development to justify the American
Psychological Association’s positions in two Supreme
Court cases involving the construction of legal age bound-
aries. In response to Fischer et al.’s general concern that
the construction of bright-line age boundaries is inconsis-
tent with the fact that development is multifaceted, variable
across individuals, and contextually conditioned, the au-
thors argue that the only logical alternative suggested by
that perspective is impractical and unhelpful in a legal
context. In response to Fischer et al.’s specific concerns
that their conclusion about the differential timetables of
cognitive and psychosocial maturity is merely an artifact of
the variables, measures, and methods they used, the au-
thors argue that, unlike the alternatives suggested by Fi-
scher et al., their choices are aligned with the specific
capacities under consideration in the two cases. The au-
thors reaffirm their position that there is considerable
empirical evidence that adolescents demonstrate adult lev-
els of cognitive capability several years before they evince
adult levels of psychosocial maturity.
Keywords: policy, science, adolescent development, chro-

In our article (Steinberg, Cauffman, Woolard, Graham,& Banich, 2009, this issue), we asked whether therewas scientific justification for the different positions
taken by the American Psychological Association (APA) in
two related Supreme Court cases—Hodgson v. Minnesota
(1990; a case concerning minors’ competence to make
independent decisions about abortion, in which APA ar-
gued that adolescents were just as mature as adults) and
Roper v. Simmons (2005; a case about the constitutionality
of the juvenile death penalty, in which APA argued that
adolescents were not as mature as adults). On the basis of
our reading of the extant literature in developmental psy-
chology, as well as findings from a recent study of our own,
we concluded that the capabilities relevant to judging in-
dividuals’ competence to make autonomous decisions
about abortion reach adult levels of maturity earlier than do
capabilities relevant to assessments of criminal culpability,
and that it was therefore reasonable to draw different age
boundaries between adolescents and adults in each in-
stance.

Reexamine the three topics you picked last week and summarized. Now, break out each case into a list of ethical and legal considerations that might help to analyze each case—summarize the considerations in two paragraphs for each case.
For each case, also ask one legal and one ethical question that might present. Consider the principles of ethics from Week 1 and the laws addressed this week. You should also use outside references to dig deeper into each case for your list.
3 topics identified in paper below from last week
· The Principal of Justice
· Autonomy
· Non-maleficence
Health Care Ethics
Health care ethics is a set of beliefs, moral principles and values that guide health care centers and related institutions to make choices with regard to medical care. Some health ethics include: respect for autonomy, justice and non-maleficence (Percival, 1849).
The principle of justice in health care ensures that there is respect for people’s rights, fair distribution of health resources and respect for laws that are morally acceptable. There are mainly two elements in this principle; equity and equality. Equity ensure that are all cases have equal access to treatment regardless of the patients’ status in ethnic background, age, sexuality, legal capacity, disability, insurance cover or any other discriminating factors.
It is important to study this ethical issue of justice since there have been an increasing report of doctors and medical staff failing to administer certain treatment services to certain kind of patients. Consequently, there have been debates in countries such as the UK over the refusal to give expensive treatment to patients who are likely to benefit from the treatment but cannot afford it. One ethical in the principle of justice is as to whether the health care center is creating an environment for sensible and fair use of health care resources and no particular type of patients are shun away or stigmatized. The legal question is whether the health care center is breaking the law against inequality and discrimination particularly racism, tribalism, gender insensitivity and other discrimination noted and prohibited in the country’s constitution.
The second area of health care ethics is respect for autonomy. Autonomy means self-determination or self-rule. Hence, this principle stipulates that one should be allowed to direct their health life according to their personal rationale. The patients have a right to determine their own destiny freely and independently as well as having their decision respected (Pollard, 1993).
This principle is important for study because not many people would not want to be treated as those with dementia; a disease involving loss of mental power. Many people are afraid of the prospect of not being able to decide their own fate and exercise self-determination. An ethical question in this principle of respect for autonomy is whether the health care center ensures that the patient is provided with ...

After the Civil War, freed slaves and white allies in the North and South attempted to redefine the meaning and boundaries of American freedom. Freedom, once for whites only, now incorporated black Americans. By rewriting laws, African-Americans, for the first time, would be recognized as citizens with equal rights and the right to vote, even in the South. Blacks created their own schools, churches, and other institutions.

Q: Chapter 15 includes a new comparative discussion on the aftermath of slavery in various Western Hemisphere societies. You see important commonalities in the struggle over land and labor in post-Emancipation societies. How do you situate the experiences of former slaves in the United States in this borrowed content.
A: Well, just as slavery was a hemispheric institution, so was emancipation. It’s useful for us in thinking about the aftermath of slavery in the United States, the Reconstruction era and after to see what happened to other slaves in places where slavery was abolished. What you see is a similar set of issues and conquests taking place everywhere slaves desire land of their own—this is the No. 1 thing, they want autonomy, they want independence from white control. All of these regions are agricultural, everywhere former slaves demand land. In some places they get land fairly effectively, like in Jamaica, West Indies, where there’s a lot of unoccupied land they can take. In some places they don’t, but that battle to who’s going to have access to land and economic resources is a commonality in the aftermath of slavery. So too is the effort of local plantation owners trying to get the plantation going again and to force slaves to work back on the plantations, or if not, to bring labor from somewhere else—in the West Indies they bring workers from China, from India, from southeast Asia to replace slaves who were moving off on land of their own. They can’t quite do that in the United States—they tried to bring ...
Record, Jeffrey. The Mystery Of Pearl Harbor. Military History 2.docx
Record, Jeffrey. "The Mystery Of Pearl Harbor." Military History 28.5 (2012): 28-39.Academic Search Complete. Web. 10 Dec. 2013.
According to the article "The Mystery of Pearl Harbor," it briefly examines the reason why Japan starts a war with the United States. On December 7th, 1941, Japan with about 182 aircrafts from the first assault invade U.S. Pacific fleet of Pearl Harbor. Japan's ultimate goal was to overthrow East Asia. The main point of this article is mainly for Japan's goal for economic security and determined to achieve their goal to conquer East Asia. Moreover, they wouldn't let U.S. stop them. Japan was humiliated to be dependent on the United States, including American imported oil. Ultimately, they fought a war that could not won since U.S. was more superior. United States outproduce Japan in every category of ammunition and armaments. If someone were to ask me what this article was about, I would say that this article is an inevitable defeat from Japan.
I believe this source was definitely helpful. This article made me realize how important Pearl Harbor is. If anything, we could have lost to the Japanese and everything would change. Personally, I believe our army played a significant role during the war between Japan and United States. I believe that this source is reliable. This source can be slightly biased because in the article, it says “If the Pacific War was inevitable, was not Japan's crushing defeat as well? If so, then why did Japan start a war that, as British strategist Colin Gray has argued, it "was always going to lose?”
This article can clearly be used for a American history classes. Several of the first paragraphs include a clear understanding and a great topic for students to discuss. This would benefit students who does not know anything about Pearl Harbor. This would be appropriate for students to realize what America has been through during the 1940’s. I admit I now have a better understanding of Pearl Harbor, this article enhanced my perspective and changed the way I view it.
Hanyok, Robert J. "The Pearl Harbor Warning That Never Was." Naval History 23.2 (2009): 50-53. Academic Search Complete. Web. 11 Dec. 2013.
This article particularly argues that Americans believe that the surprising attack from Japan Navy planes could not have happened without some sort of conspiracy or warning. Without a doubt, Americans thought that U.S. political and military leaders kept this serious warning from Pearl Harbor’s commanders. Furthermore, the National Security Agency Documentary, “West Wind Clear seemed to be not found. Robert Hanyok’s attempted to clear up the issue and as a result, the warning for the chief Navy doe- breaker was just a figment of his imagination.
I believe that this article offers reliable sources. Hanyok provides source documents for historical scholars and researchers. This article was extremely helpful due to the controversy with the “West Wind Clear. The goal of this article was basically des ...

Reasons for Not Evaluating
Reasons from McCain, D. V. (2005). Evaluation basics. Arlington, VA: ASTD Press, pp. 14-16.
Below are reasons to not evaluate, but there are things you can do to overcome these reasons!
· Click Edit (upper right on the tool bar) to get into edit mode.
· Add at least 2 ideas to the page to overcome one or more of these reasons for not evaluating. Please explain in enough detail that someone reading this wiki will be able to understand it!
· Add your name in parenthesis after your idea so we know who contributed which idea!
· Click Save (upper right on tool bar) to save your changes.
1. Evaluation requires a particular skill set.
· Doing evaluation requires no particular skill. It only requires a desire to look into it a course or program and ask the right questions that would answer the whether or not the course was effective. There are many tools that would help in doing an evaluation. (D. Clark)
· Skills can be learned. Learning to evaluate is simply another avenue of training. If the skills to evaluate do not exist in your organization then the training may need to start at the Trainer level before moving on to more organizational specific training, (D Casper)
2. Evaluation is not a priority.
· In order to make progress in any learning environment, it is necessary to initiate check points and measurements producing an evaluation of knowledge (Valle)
· Evaluation is never a priority until things are going bad and the reason is not clear, Evaluation helps us understand where the issues are. (Jim K)
3. Evaluation is not required.
· Currently, as students we are being evaluated to check in our progress ion order to measure our understanding of the tasks given. We get a grade, it is required for this course.(Valle)
· Why are you only providing what is required? Why not go a little further and make the training better? (J. Sprague)
4. Evaluation can result in criticism.
· In order to grow as a person or a company we all need criticism, of course this needs presented in a positive light and in a way that people can learn and grow. (Jim K)
· In today's culture where everybody gets a trophy or everybody gets an "A" no matter how they perform it is not "PC" to criticize someone and hurt their feelings! Criticism is what motivated me to succeed and go beyond just what is normal! We need to stop equating "Criticism" with "Fault Finding" and realize we do more harm than good by not pointing out shortcomings and errors. (D Casper)
5. You can't measure training.
· In my place of work in the industry, we had to measure training. Time was spent in educating employees into new ways to create a product, cost effectiveness, supply management chain and distribution. Measuring effectiveness of the training was in direct correlation with the success of the given product into market.(Valle)

Real-World Decisions
Read the following scenarios, which represent real-world decisions, and respond to each in 150 to 200 words.
Scenario One
You are the director of production at a multinational company. Your position is in Tokyo, Japan. Recently, this division experienced production quota problems. You determine that you must identify a team leader who will lead the work team to tackle the problem. You identify several possible team leaders, including Joan, a manager who is an expatriate US citizen and has recently arrived in your company’s Japanese office. You are also aware of Bob, a European national who has worked at the facility for about a year. His experience includes reengineering production processes at one of the company’s production facilities in Europe. The final candidate is Noriko, a Japanese national who has been at the facility for several years.
Questions
The team you assemble is composed of American expatriates and Japanese nationals. Compare the three candidates for the position. Based on cultural norms and traditions, what cultural factors and management styles may benefit or present obstacles for others on the team? Explain.
Response
Scenario Two
You have been assigned to an overseas position with your company. The local government of the host country offers gifts periodically to senior management as a way of thanking them for opening a facility and employing locals. These gifts include cash or merchandise into the thousands of dollars. Typically, to refuse a gift is considered an insult. Your country’s policy is to prohibit employees from accepting anything from clients and customers of more than $50. Your employer values its relationship with the host country and government officials, and it intends to continue operating in the venue.
Questions
How would you address a situation where you are presented with a gift of more than $50? Explain your rationale. How could your actions affect your company? How could your decision affect your working relationship with your company’s and the host country’s officials?
Response
Scenario Three
Christine, the leading expert in information technology (IT) organizational design, works for a large consulting firm and has been asked to work on a temporary assignment in Saudi Arabia. One of her firm’s biggest revenue-generating customers is embarking on an initiative to redesign the IT structure to improve efficiency and effectiveness, and to align the business unit’s output with the organization’s strategic objectives. The customer has read research reports and articles Christine has published, and the chief executive officer has asked Christine to handle this project. She is excited about the professional challenge of the assignment, but she is unsure of adopting customs and practices in a Muslim country.

Real Clear Politics
“The American Dream: Not Dead –Yet
By Carl M. Cannon and Tom Bevan
March 6, 2019
Solid pluralities of Americans think their country is heading in the wrong direction, have lost faith in its prominent public institutions, and believe both major political parties are an impediment to realizing the American Dream. Nonetheless, that dream persists – threatened, yes, but not nearly dead.
These are the findings in the latest poll from RealClear Opinion Research, focusing on how Americans view their future possibilities and how much economic guidance and oversight should be provided by government. The answers provide a road map for the 2020 election season.
Nearly four times as many respondents say the American Dream is “alive and well” for them personally (27 percent) as those who say it’s “dead” (7 percent). The overwhelming majority express a more nuanced outlook. Two-thirds of those surveyed believe the American Dream is under moderate to severe duress: 37 percent say it is “alive and under threat” while another 28 percent say it is “under serious threat, but there is still hope.”
“In this poll, most people are telling us that the American Dream isn’t working as they believe it should be,” said John Della Volpe, polling director of RealClear Opinion Research. “The overwhelming number of people are not seeing the fruits of working hard, whether it’s through a professional (finances) or a personal (happiness) lens.”
The panel of 2,224 registered voters was probed for its views on other foundational aspects of 21st century American civic life, including their views of capitalism and socialism, and how they see the future unfolding for the younger generation of Americans.
Asked, for example, whether the American Dream is alive for those under 18 years of age, the attitudes were decidedly pessimistic -- especially among Baby Boomers and the so-called Silent Generation (Americans born between the mid-1920 and mid-1940s), those who have been in control of our public and private institutions for decades. While 23 percent of Baby Boomers and Silent Generation voters say the American Dream is alive for them (already the lowest percentage among all age groups) only 15 percent say they believe it will be there for the next generation.
Measuring attitudes about the American Dream means different things to different people. For this survey, RealClear Opinion Research defined it for the poll respondents by using Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, which describes the American Dream as “a happy way of living that can be achieved by anyone in the U.S. especially by working hard and becoming successful.”
As one would expect, perceptions of the health of this idea differ by party, age, education and class. Among the most striking findings in the survey were the variances by ethnicity. Asian-Americans are the most likely to say the American Dream is working for them (41 percent) – twice the percentage as Hispanics. Despite such differences, ...
