Reflect upon the important communities (other than family and friends) in your life and list them. You might consider some of the following as personal communities: Recreational club or league A workplace A block, neighborhood, or town where you live or once lived A religious congregation or group A mutual help (self-help) or other support group A civic club, or group working for change in your society or community The college or university you are attending An Internet chat room or other on-line group Consider why you listed each community. Consider the emotions you experience in this community. Review your list and determine which of these communities are: Localities? Relational communities? Microsystems? Workplaces? Other organizations? Mediating structures linking individuals to larger communities or systems? Larger populations or macrosystems? Now, select the community with which you most often interact outside of family and friends and assess that community using the four McMillan-Chavis elements of sense of community: Membership, influence, integration, and shared emotional connection. In an essay, identify your selected community and address the questions listed under each of the four elements. Membership: How is membership defined? What else do members have in common? Are there common symbols shared by members? What investment (material, emotional, other) have you made in this community? How deep is your sense of emotional safety in this community? Is being a member of this group an important identity for you? How? Influence: How does being in this community influence you as an individual? How much influence do you as an individual have on this community? If you wanted to influence a decision in this community, how would you do that? Integration: How are your individual needs fulfilled in this community? How do you help fulfill other members’ needs? What values are shared in this community? Shared Emotional Connection: Do you feel an emotional bond with other members of the community? How? What rituals, celebrations or other occasions strengthen community bonds? What community narratives are shared in this community? Length: 3-5 pages .

Discussion: Culture You are socialized within a culture the moment you are born, both through your family and your broader community interactions. As humans develop and mature, they learn the unwritten rules of social behavior and interaction as they watch and participate in their social environment. An individual’s culture is often influenced by nationality, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, and geographic location. By recognizing you have a culture in the context of a larger culture, and that your distinct culture exists along with other distinct cultures, how could that help you see the nature, value, and strengths of those other cultures? In this Discussion, you consider similar questions. To Prepare · Consider the different aspects of culture such as: language, communication style, art, customs/traditions (e.g., holidays, weddings, funerals), values, stories, religion, food, social habits (e.g., eye contact, how close one stands, how one greets or says “good”), gender roles, clothing, music. · Reflect on the first time you remember someone else displaying a different cultural characteristic than your own. Where were you? What did you notice? How did you respond? · Read Standard 1.05 from the NASW Code of Ethics: 1.05 Cultural Awareness and Social Diversity (a) Social workers should understand culture and its function in human behavior and society, recognizing the strengths that exist in all cultures. (b) Social workers should have a knowledge base of their clients' cultures and be able to demonstrate competence in the provision of services that are sensitive to clients' cultures and to differences among people and cultural groups. (c) Social workers should obtain education about and seek to understand the nature of social diversity and oppression with respect to race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, political belief, religion, immigration status, and mental or physical ability. (d) Social workers who provide electronic social work services should be aware of cultural and socioeconomic differences among clients and how they may use electronic technology. Social workers should assess cultural, environmental, economic, mental or physical ability, linguistic, and other issues that may affect the delivery or use of these services. Discussion: Social Work Practice With Groups Group work offers many benefits that cannot be achieved through individual therapy alone. The most obvious benefit is group member validation. The knowledge that you are not alone and are not the only person who has experienced that particular issue can foster a strong sense of hope. However, groups also present challenges from different personalities and behaviors that disrupt group dynamics and function. As a social worker, you will need to take different roles to manage the challenges in order to create a safer space for clients to engage in their work. In ...

This is the first Assignment of many in the coming weeks that will help you complete your Immersion Project. For this Assignment, you will identify a culture to focus on for your project. Keep in mind that the term “culture” is not limited to a particular race or ethnicity but is much broader and includes gender, age, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, physical ability, religion, political affiliations, immigration status, military membership, etc. It would be wise to select a culture that you know little about, one that you anticipate encountering often in your work as an advanced human services professional practitioner, and one that you are able to access through planned activities in your community (e.g., religious service, festival, exhibit, etc.). To Prepare Select a culture to focus on for your Immersion Project that is different from the culture(s) with which you identify. You may select a culture that is discussed in this week’s Learning Resources or one that is not. Find an activity of the culture that you could observe before Day 7 of Week 4. Consider how the culture you select is different from the culture(s) with which you identify. Reflect on your current perceptions of the culture you selected. Submit a 1- to 2-page paper that addresses the following: Identify the culture you will focus on for your Immersion Project and the activity of the culture you plan on observing (e.g., attend a religious service; take a tour of the group’s community; or attend a gathering, festival, culture-themed play, tour, or exhibit). Explain how this culture is different from the culture(s) with which you identify. Differences should include both the obvious (visible differences, etc.) and the not so obvious (religious beliefs, sexual orientation, etc.). Explain your current perceptions of this culture. Your perceptions should include what you were told about this culture as you were growing up (if anything), what your sources of information about this culture have been in the past, and why you have an interest in this culture. .

Assignment #5 Community Based Organization Profile Due April 16 You will identify a community based organization within your chosen community and produce a well written (about 1000 words) profile of the organization. During your investigation, you should reach out to the group to possibly speak to a representative who could augment the information that is likely freely available on the organization’s website and print literature. Your goal is to find answers to the “who, what, when, where, and whys” of the group regarding their impact on the community What does the CBO do? What are their goals? From what you can tell (your observations and research), what has been the impact of the organization? When was the organization created? Under what circumstances did this occur? What is the organization’s history? Who comprises the CBO’s membership/workforce? What population does the organization serve? (This is a time to think about issues of class, race/ethnicity, age, ability, and gender. To what degree is the organization representative of the population it serves?). Is the organization large or small? Where is the organization located? How “grassroots” (comprised of local members and focused on the local community) does the organization appear to be? Why was the organization established? As far as you can tell, have the goals/strategies shifted considerably over time? How does the organization go about its work? (Does it provide specific services to the community? Does it organize community members to fight for their own interests?) How is the group organized? How is the organization funded? How does the group present itself to the larger community? Considering findings from your larger community research project, what conclusions can you draw about the organization? Consider some methodological issues as well: Was the group difficult to locate or contact? Were they open to you inquiries? If you encountered any special difficulties, why do you think that occurred? Does the group seem sustainable? (Is it firmly established or on its last leg?) Does the organization appear to be impactful? How can you tell? .

Please read the description of the Religion ethnography carefully and then ask me in class to explain anything that isn't clear. You can also email me with questions. At the end there is a short list of possible sites for the ethnography: Sikh, Islamic, Jewish, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist. Shumei. There are other religions and many other sites. Bahai is an interesting religion but you have to be invited to attend by a member. Mormon the same. If you have access to a Santeria or similar ceremony, great! To make the project worthwhile choose a site as different from your own background as you can. If you have a Christian or Catholic background do not do your paper on any kind of Christian or Catholic service. You are welcome to attend a non-English language service as long as you understand the language being used. Be sure to okay your choice with me. Some places that don’t work for this project are Scientology, the Self Realization Fellowship, the Kabbalah Center, SGI Buddhist, Hare Krishna. INSTRUCTIONS: Attend a religious activity that you’re curious about and would like to explore. You must attend a service, not simply visit a religious site. Examples: a mosque, temple, synagogue, gurdwara. You can probably find an interesting place of worship near where you live or work. It’s always a good idea to phone or email the place of worship before you attend. Research methods must include participant/observation and informal conversation. One slightly more formal interview is desirable. Be absolutely sure to allow time to stay after the service for food, lunch, other refreshment, or informal gathering. This may well be the most important part of your experience and will enable you to answer the question, “What meaning does this place and this service have for the participants? You must go some place you’ve never been to before. Do NOT choose your own tradition or somewhere you’re even a bit familiar with. Choose somewhere entirely new and different. The important thing is to come to the service as an outsider, with the eyes and ears of an anthropologist and take note of everything. Use the skills you’ve learned in this class. You can attend alone or with a co-researcher or two from the class. Best, you can be the guest(s) of a classmate or someone else you know and discuss the event with them. Invite a classmate or two to attend a service from your tradition. Do not write about an event you attended in the past. But you can use past experiences for comparison and reflection. It is almost never appropriate to jot down notes during a religious service. Better, write everything you remember immediately after the event. Get sufficient detail to write what anthropologist Clifford Geertz called “thick”, or rich description. In writing your paper use terms we've discussed in class and think about connections to the reading we’ve done and films we’ve seen. OUTLINE : Include each of these sections.

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.

How could a nurse work collaboratively with a community to build on these strengths and facilitate community empowerment? Keep in mind the different methods of community outreach the nurse could utilize. 2. Assurance is one of the three core functions of public health. Knowing what resources are available is part of this function. Find a resource in your community that could be used as a referral source and share information about the services provided. Who is eligible for the services? What could be done in order to improve the accessibility, acceptability, affordability, or availability of this resource in your community? Make sure to address all four of the A’s. 3. Spend time either walking around or sitting and watching people in a very busy public place. Look for things that you associate with people from race/ethnic, cultural, gender, and social-class backgrounds that are different from your own. Look for the kinds of common interactions or behaviors between different groups and those like your own. For example, do they acknowledge the other's presence if eye contact happens to occur? Do any behaviors change in the presence of other groups? Consider what you expect to see based on your assumptions and understandings about persons of different backgrounds (how you expect them to dress, walk, talk, interact with each other, interact with others, etc). Make note of those things that catch your attention. Pay special attention to what you don't see as well. In two to three paragraphs, share your observations with the class. Please begin with, "In my observation..." 4. When traveling to other countries for business, it is important to know the male/female roles in each country. Not knowing these roles could cause problems in discussions and negotiations.

discussion in cultural awareness in social work practice In order to become a practitioner who addresses the diverse needs of your clients in a sensitive and respectful manner, you must be dedicated to continued education around the needs and experiences of different groups, religions, ethnicities, and other populations. The first step is to identify any personal biases and perceptions you might have about other cultures. From a broader perspective, how might an individual’s culture, race, ethnicity, disability, or sexual orientation affect how society perceives and treats them? Which potential social structures may perpetuate the oppression and marginalization of certain groups? The most important attribute you can bring to this topic is an open mind and a willingness to learn about others unlike yourself and ask how they want to be treated by you as a social worker. In this Discussion, you consider these topics in relation to a case study depicting issues in cultural competence. To prepare: Review this week’s Learning Resources, including the videos, and then reflect on the following: What is your definition of cultural competency? What skills do you think are necessary for attaining cultural competence as a social worker working with that population? What is the difference between having knowledge about a cultural group and engaging with an individual from the stance of cultural humility? Then, search the Walden Library for peer-reviewed article(s) that support the skills you selected. By Day 3 Post: Provide your definition of cultural competence. Explain the skills you think are necessary for developing cultural competence as a social worker when working with Eboni. Reference at least one peer-reviewed article that supports the skills you selected and include an APA citation and reference for that article. ...

Contrast the dynamics between dominant cultures and subcultures either in a work setting or in society. Explain why it is important to understand the impact of culture. Give an example where you demonstrated your awareness and or openness to understanding a cultural difference. Explain how these differences underscore the need for understanding diversity. From the information given, develop guidelines for embracing diversity. SAMPLE RESPONSE FROM A FORMER STUDENT Contrast the dynamics between dominant cultures and subcultures either in a work setting or in society. Explain why it is important to understand the impact of culture. Give an example where you demonstrated your awareness and or openness to understanding a cultural difference. A culture can be divided into two different settings that include dominant culture or subculture. A dominant culture reveals the core values of the organization and a subculture is a smaller group inside the dominant culture that share common problems and situations (Baack, 2012). Understanding the effects of these cultures is important as it provides insight on how an organization operates, its identity, and its social system. I am currently working with a church organization to help establish their mission, vision, values, and other key messaging. As I have undertaken this process, I have come to realize there are a number of subcultures at work. In most cases, these subcultures are a result of relationship being built over time and in other situations, these subcultures are a result of groups looking to control the church. Regardless of the subculture group, what is clear to me is that the lack of a dominant culture driven by purpose through the use of a mission and vision is missing in this organization. Author Donald Baack describes a strong culture when he states, “A company with a strong culture employs members who intensely hold and readily share the organization’s core values” (Baack, 2012). In the case of the church I’m working with, it survives with a weak culture largely based on the structure of the church that has been handed down over generations. However, providing a purpose to the organization may help deliver a dominant culture that offers parishioners stronger core values to hold on too. Explain how these differences underscore the need for understanding diversity. From the information given, develop guidelines for embracing diversity In my example of the church I’m working with, diversity plays a large role in a number of aspects. For example, the church is currently looking for members to nominate for next year’s church council. The committee performing this task is looking at things like gender and age that will allow a council to make decisions based on a broad perspective. I embrace what the church nominating committee is looking to achieve because diversity in any organization is important for organizational growth. Regardless of whether it is a church or business hav.

***I have attached this file with all of the questions briefly answered and attached is the topic for which to be written on.*** Group Influence This assignment will give you experience observing and interacting with people outside of the classroom. It has been designed to provide you with the opportunity to develop skills, synthesize knowledge, and integrate learning in a real-world setting. This goal is accomplished by challenging you to physically attend and observe a group. Note: Social and family events, religious services, classes, court proceedings, lectures, and sporting events are not acceptable events for the purpose of this assignment. Purpose: To provide you with an opportunity to experience a group setting and analyze how the presence of others substantially influences the behaviors of its members through social facilitation. Observe a group discussing a topic of interest, such as a focus group, a community public assembly, a department meeting at your workplace, or local support group. Study how the group members interact and influence one another. Analyze how the group behaviors and communication patterns influence social facilitation. Integrate your findings with evidence-based literature from journal articles, the course text, and additional scholarly sources. The literature should be about group patterns, not about the content of the meeting. Process: You will participate as a guest at an interest group meeting in your community to gather data for a qualitative research paper. Once you have located an interest group, contact stakeholders, and explain the purpose of your inquiry. After you receive permission to participate, you will schedule a date to attend the meeting; at which time you will observe the members and document the following for your analysis: How were the people arranged in the physical environment (layout of room and seating arrangement)? What is the composition of the group, in terms of number of people, age, sex, ethnicity, and so on? What are the group’s purpose, mission, and goals? What is the duration of the group (short- or long-term)? Explain. Did the group structure its discussion around an agenda, program, or rules of order? Describe the structure of the group. How is the group organized? Who are the primary facilitators of the group? What subject or issues did the group members examine during the meeting? What types of information did members exchange in their group? What were the group's norms, roles, status hierarchy, or communication patterns? What communication patterns illustrated if the group was unified or fragmented? Explain. Did the members share a sense of identity with one another (characteristics of the group, similarities, interests, philosophy, and so on)? Was there any indication that members might be vulnerable to groupthink? Why or why not? In your opinion, how did the collective group behaviors influence individual atti ...

Evidence exists that facts, data, examples, and categories provided in teaching sessions for trainees being prepared to enter an overseas culture, but whose learning experiences did not include interactions with representatives of the cultures studied, do not readily transfer to practical, meaningful applications. Social scientists have pointed to the fact that interaction skills are more effectively learned through guided experience in the behavior itself, and that such learning is even more effective if the learner can immediately apply what he or she has learned. The purpose of this homework assignment is to encourage moral imagination, the active understanding, including the development of an attitude of acceptance, respect, and tolerance for cultural differences. To complete this assignment follow these steps: Select one individual from another culture, for example an international employee from your work or neighborhood, an international student, a student from a different sexual orientation, race, or age, or possibly an agency in the community. Find someone from a different ethnicity, religion, age, sexual orientation etc. This person must be someone you did not know well before (your classmates should be excluded from this assignment). This assignment will give you an opportunity to get to know him/her and his/her culture at a deeper level. Develop at least 3 in-person interactions (at least 1 hour each) with this person that provide opportunities for learning about each other’s cultures; provide opportunities for understanding cultural as well as individual differences; provide opportunities for shared experiences such as meals, cultural events, and visits (either in person or virtual) in each other’s homes and with each other’s families; are responsive to specific needs in specific circumstances (e.g., information, experiential learning, specific problems with agencies or customs) including those of the student or the international person; allow them to serve as intercultural informants for each other; Due to the pandemic you are not required to meet in person if you don't feel safe or comfortable. Instead, you can participate in virtual interactions. These interactions are not interviews or Q&A sessions. They intend to help you develop a relationship and learn about this culture. Keep a detailed electronic diary of your experiences with this person. This diary documents every interaction with this person, and should analyze and deal with personal reactions related to your own feelings, the situation, and the specific factors you have learned and can relate to your classroom learning experiences. The in depth details of the diary will be for you to keep and maintain. Prepare a written report that summarizes your diary by assuring anonymity of the specific person. In this report, information about specific ethnic, racial, and cultural factors should be provided. This report should include your insights, general cult.

Unit 1: Module 1 - M1 Assignment 3 Assignment 3: Views on Diversity Pablo believes that diversity is the most important issue in our culture, and that it is greatly underemphasized. On the other hand, Ralph rarely thinks of diversity, except when it is mentioned in the workplace. Monica is sensitized to multicultural issues because her parents are immigrants who still struggle with discrimination after being here for 20 years. To obtain a cross-section of what people think about diversity, conduct five-minute interviews with three individuals you don't know well, and assess their views on diversity. You have been provided an Informed Consent document for the respondents to sign along with verbally consenting to participate in this assignment. This is to enable that the respondents demonstrate a clear understanding of the meaning and purpose of this assignment. While you are expected to use the informed consent form in keeping with ethical practices for data collection, you do not need to submit it to the instructor as part of the assignment. Ask the respondents the following questions and record their answers: When you hear the word diversity mentioned in the workplace, in the media, or in casual conversation, what meaning do you assign this term? Does a particular race, ethnic group, or other minority group come to mind when you think of diversity? Does one of these groups pertain to you? Do you think the majority of people in our culture: Respect cultural differences among groups of people. Show indifference to cultural differences. Lack respect for cultural differences. Explain each choice. If you were to make a suggestion about how our culture should handle diversity over the next decade, what would it be? Compile your responses and write a brief reflection paper (two pages) on your findings. Specifically address the following issues: What did you discover was the general attitude toward diversity in our culture? Is diversity more associated with one race, ethnic, or other minority group than with others? If so, explain why this might be the case. Compare and contrast the respondent's views with your own. How would you answer the same questions? Submit your response to the M1: Assignment 3 Dropbox by Wednesday, July 22, 2015 . Your response should be at least two pages long.

Family Systems in Social Work Practice Families are as unique as the individuals who form them. While you may utilize the same or similar techniques, while working with family systems (through the steps in the GIM and related practice skills), it is also important to recognize that each family has its own unique needs and experiences in the world. The empowerment perspective states that an essential aspect of working with individuals and families is to address their feelings of powerlessness and oppression. Empowerment is a process; and one part of that process is to gain an awareness of the oppressive structures evident in our society. Oppression, in the form of racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia, can impact a family’s quality of life and ability to thrive. Empowerment practice includes discussing potential societal barriers that may have contributed to the family’s concerns. For this Discussion , review this week’s Learning Resources. Select a diverse family system, such as a family with differences in sexual orientation, a family with differences in race or ethnicity, or a family with members who are managing a disability. Then, consider potential barriers they might encounter in society. Finally, think about how a social worker might address one of these barriers on an individual, family, organizational, group, or community level. A brief description of the diverse family system you selected. Then explain a potential barrier they might encounter in society. Finally, explain one skill a social worker might use to address this barrier on an individual, family, organizational, group, or community level. Please see the student exemplar that I have posted below as a guide when developing your main post this week. The family system that I selected is a family with differences in race or ethnicity. There are a variety of factors that play a role when working with a family system with differences in race or ethnicity. It is a social worker’s “responsibility to recognize the importance of difference, including that of color, race, and culture, when working with diverse populations” ( Kirst -Ashman & Hull, 2015, p. 387). These differences “directly affect life experiences and access to resources and power” ( Kirst -Ashman & Hull, 2015, p. 387). One potential barrier that this family system may encounter in society is being viewed as inadequate or inferior. Important skills a social worker may use to address this barrier is engagement and empathy. It is important to be able to connect with and understand clients on many different levels. In this case, it is crucial to engage with a client and understand the diversities they may face and learn about their culture. As a social worker, “empathizing with a family and its situation is important” ( Kirst -Ashman & Hull, 2015, p. 388). Overall, being aware of a client’s differences and engaging with them would be beneficial for a social worker. References Kirst -Ashman, K. K., & Hull, G. H., ...
