Difference between Crime and Deviance Theories offer an explanation as to why someone commits a crime or behaves in a certain manner. Your role as a learner is to understand the difference between crime and deviance while keeping some form of objectivity. To have objectivity in the field of criminal justice, one must be able to obtain data that isn't flawed or biased. Gathering official data can be cumbersome and challenging. For example, if you are trying to find out the number of rapes that have occurred in a particular neighborhood, you will rely on information that has been reported to the local law enforcement. If information hasn't been reported, the data can be flawed. Prepare a 4- to 5-page report in a Microsoft Word document analyzing different data collection methods (survey research, participant observation, and official data). In addition, determine the following: Are these methods successful at capturing the information it's intended to capture? Which method would you consider has had greater success? Which one has had the least success? Provide specific examples to support your answer. What are some of the ethical concerns associated with the selected measures? Should we consider other data collection methods in the field of criminal justice that have rarely been used (such as telephone surveys, online surveys, and so on)? Provide reasons to support your answer. Support your responses with examples and credible resourses Cite any sources in APA format. Must be plagiarism .

Application of a decision making framework to an IT-related ethical issue. For this assignment, you are given an opportunity to explore and apply a decision making framework to an IT-related ethical issue. A framework provides a methodical and systematic approach for decision making. Methods of Ethical Analysis describes three structured frameworks that may be used for ethical analysis, namely Reynolds Seven-Step Approach, Kidder’s Nine Steps, and Spinello’s Seven-Step Process. There are several ways to systematically approach an ethical dilemma, and while each of the frameworks described has its merits, each will result in an ethical decision if straightforwardly and honestly applied. In addition, you will want to consider the ethical theories described in Introduction to Theoretical Ethical Frameworks which help decision makers find the right balance concerning the acceptability of and justification for their actions. A separate write-up of the ethical theory that supports your decision is part of the following requirements. For this paper, the following elements must be addressed: • Describe a current IT-related ethical issue: Since this is a paper exercise, not a real-time situation, you may want to construct a brief scenario where this issue comes into play, and thus causes an ethical dilemma. The dilemma may affect you, your family, your job, or your company; or it may be a matter of public policy or law that affects the general populace. See the list below for a list of suggested issues, which may be a source of ethical dilemmas. • Define a concise problem statement that is extracted from the above description or scenario. It is best if you define a specific problem caused by the dilemma, that needs a specific ethical decision to be made, that will solve the dilemma. Be aware that if it is a matter of public policy or law, that it may require a regulatory body or congressional approval to take action to implement a solution. • Analyze your problem using one of the structured decision-making frameworks. Make sure that you identify the decision-making framework utilized. In addition, the steps in the decision-making framework selected must be used as major headings in the Analysis section. • Consider and state the impact of the decision that you made on an individual, an organization, stakeholders, customers suppliers, and the environment, as applicable! • State and discuss the applicable ethical theory that supports your decision. Concerning your paper: • Prepare a minimum 3- 5 page, double-spaced paper as a Microsoft Word file. • Provide appropriate American Psychological Association (APA) source citations for all sources you use. In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your paper should reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good organization, and proper business-writing style. For example, Kidder’s approach has nine steps, which are: • Recognize that there is a moral issue. • Determine the actor (whos ...

Panel Presentation: Privacy Impact Assessments (PIA) Coordinators of an upcoming conference, attended by federal government IT managers and staff, invited you to participate in a panel presentation about privacy. For this activity, prepare a 5 to 7 paragraph briefing statement which answers the following four questions. Use information from the weekly readings as your research material. Go to Content >> Course Resources >> Expanded Explanation for Discussion Question Responses to learn more about the format requirements for a "briefing statement." Definitions: Privacy has many definitions. When examining data protection and privacy laws and practices, it can be helpful to focus on four categories or classes of privacy. Information privacy is concerned with establishing rules that govern the collection and handling of personal information. Examples include financial information, medical information, government records and records of a person’s activities on the Internet. Bodily privacy focuses on a person’s physical being and any invasion thereof. Such an invasion can take the form of genetic testing, drug testing or body cavity searches. It also encompasses issues such as birth control, abortion, and adoption. Territorial privacy is concerned with placing limits on the ability to intrude into another individual’s environment. “Environment” can include the home, workplace, or public space. Invasion into an individual’s territorial privacy typically takes the form of monitoring such as video surveillance, ID checks, and use of similar technology and procedures. Communications privacy encompasses protection of the means of correspondence, including postal mail, telephone conversations, email, and other forms of communicative behavior and apparatus. Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) : A PIA is both a process and a document. It is a process that focuses upon identifying and assessing risks related to privacy of data handled by a specific IT system or database. It is a process that communicates the results of the PIA process to stakeholders. Released PIAs are either fully available to the public, while redaction removes sensitive/non-public information in other PIAs . When responding to this discussion, prepare a 5 to 7 paragraph briefing statement which answers the following four questions: 1. What is privacy? Is it a right? An expectation? Discuss differing definitions, e.g. "the average person" definition vs. a legal definition, and how these differences impact risk assessments for privacy protections (or the lack thereof). 2. What are some important best practices for protecting privacy for information collected, stored, used, and transferred by the US federal government? Identify and discuss three or more best practice recommendations for reducing risk by improving or ensuring the privacy of information processed by or stored in an organization’s IT systems and databases. 3. Explain why federal government agencies and departme.

To help you with your discussion, please consider the following questions: DISCUSSION 1 What did you learn that you did not already know? This has been like some of the other material that we have covered. I have had exposure to many of the concepts in my master’s program but with this material I am provided both reinforcement of those concept understandings and present new perspectives on them. The from Management Information Systems: Managing the Digital Firm was particularly helpful. Material such as this can often require several iterations of review to begin to develop an understanding of how it can be applied. I have had exposure to similar material but being able to understand how to apply these concepts benefits considerably form exposure to new sources. This material is not abstract but at times being able to apply it in a practice manner almost does seem abstract. Being able to read this material helps me solidify thoughts and ideas on how to concretely implement them in real life situations, this type of process for me is something that requires deeper understanding of the “theory of operations”, for a lack of better words. In course I have gotten a lot of that. What are some problems that are apparent in the field? I am going to inject some major bias at this point as my masters was in software engineering and focused on enterprise architecture, IT systems research, software project management, and object-oriented paradigm. To me one of the biggest problems in the industries I have been in is shear negligence in researching the concepts of what software engineering is and how to manage information systems or information technology. The decision-making process is often left to those who have no technical background, two who’s motivations are at best questionable, and three have no concept of the magnitude or time line of projects. There is an abundant source of research, magazines, and various other forms of literature explicitly addressing these things in a practical manner oriented strictly towards helping organizations undertake such endeavors. I by no means consider myself to be an expert but I often find myself in a situation where I ask what should be some basic questions about projects and in return I receive an answer akin to “what are you talking about” or “I have never heard of that” or “I don’t know I never thought about that”. What are might be some opportunities for research on the topics covered and how might you perform the appropriate research? The above rant was a segue into this section because I feel that big data is becoming more prevalent and both the elements of software engineering and systems for big data could become victim to similar issues as stated before. Some issues for research in software engineer ...

Steps for Effective Case Analysis Adapted from Harvard Business Publishing It's useful to think of a case analysis as digging deeper and deeper into the layers of a case. You should make sure to follow these general steps in addition to answering the questions from the case. 1. You start at the surface, Getting Oriented and examining the overall case landscape. 2. Then you begin to dig, Identifying Problems, as well as possible alternative solutions. 3. This is the section where you will spend most of your time. Digging deeper, Performing Analyses you identify information that exposes the issues, gather data, perform calculations that might provide insight. "Analysis" describes the varied and crucial things you do with information in the case, to shed light on the problems and issues you've identified. That might mean calculating and comparing cumulative growth rates for different periods from the year-by-year financials in a case's exhibits. Or it might mean pulling together seemingly unrelated facts from two different sections of the case, and combining them logically to arrive at an important conclusion or conjecture. Analysis usually doesn't provide definitive answers. But as you do more of it, a clearer picture often starts to emerge, or the preponderance of evidence begins to point to one interpretation rather than others. Don't expect a case analysis to yield a "final answer." If you're accustomed to doing analysis that ends with a right answer, coming up with a possible solution that simply reflects your best judgment might frustrate you. But remember that cases, much like real-world business experiences, rarely reveal an absolutely correct answer, no matter how deeply you analyze them. Typically, you'll do qualitative analysis based on your reading and interpretation of the case. Ask yourself: What is fact and what is opinion? Which facts are contributing to the problem? Which are the causes? Qualitative factors should be prioritized and fully developed to support your argument. Make notes about your evolving interpretations, always being careful to list the evidence or reasons that support them. Qualitative information in a case can be a mix of objective and subjective information. For example, you may need to assess the validity of quotations from company executives, each of whom has a subjective opinion. Reports from external industry analysts or descriptions of what other companies in the industry have done might seem more objective; no one in the case has a vested interest in this information. A company's internal PowerPoint presentation should be considered separately and differently from a newspaper article about the company. Cases mix firsthand quotations and opinions with third-person narratives, so you need to consider the reliability of sources. As in real life, you shouldn't take all case information at face value. Quantitative data—such as amounts of.

Outline the four steps in the data collection process. Explain why it is so important to be systematic in collecting data. Solution Step 1: Identify issues and/or opportunities for collecting dataordata collection goals what problem are you trying to solve by collecting this data? Step 2:Develop operational definitions and procedures. Here we need to be very clear as to what we are measuring, how it is to be measured, and who is to measure it. Often times we will employ sampling in which case we need to define a sampling plan. . Who will the data be collected about? . Who will the group of interest be compared to? . What locations or geographical areas will the data be gathered from? . What categories will be used to identify the group of interest and comparator group? Step 3 : How should data be collected and What sources of data should be used to collect information? There are several methods of collecting data: online-surveys, phone interviews, focus groups and yes, even dreaded handwritten surveys. Each type possesses its own advantages and disadvantages. Whichever method you use, there are bound to be obstacles to overcome along the way. What sources of data should be used to collect information? Pre-existing or official data Survey data Interviews and focus groups Observed data . Two types of data are used in any field of research: qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative data: Typically, data is called “qualitative” if it is in the form of words, but may also include any information that is not numerical in form, such as photographs, videos and sound recordings. Qualitative methods are aimed at describing a specific context, event, people or relationship in a broad contextual way, by trying to understand the underlying reasons for behaviour, thoughts and feelings. Common qualitative research methods include observation, one-on-one interviews, focus groups and intensive case studies Quantitative data: Typically, data is called “quantitative” if it is in the form of numbers. A quantitative approach can be used to count events or the number of people who represent a particular background. Common quantitative tools include surveys, questionnaires and statistical data (such as Statistics Canada census information). It is important to note that all quantitative data is based on qualitative judgment. In other words, numbers cannot be interpreted by themselves, without understanding the assumptions that underlie them. A good research effort involves the use of both types. Both approaches, while distinct, can overlap and rely on the other to produce meaningful data, analysis and results. Step 4 : Analyze and interpret data and Act on results Explaining the technical steps involved in analyzing and interpreting data is beyond the scope of this guide. An organization will have to determine whether it has the internal capacity and expertise to analyze and interpret data itself, or whether it will need the help of an external consultant. . A summa.

This project is intended to help you begin to develop strong critical thinking and communication skills while establishing relationships. Completion of will require the creation of some type of finished product that has integrated all of the resources introduced and explored during the course in order to communicate a clear picture of the issue or problem. Completion of these steps and the final product will account for Driving Question After exploring and investigating an important issue or problem in society related to your professional interests, consider the following question: How can I create a final project that will best synthesize the research to help myself and others better understand the underlying elements and factors causing and relating to my chosen issue or problem? Examples of Professional Issues: School of Business 1. Career Interest Area of Business Management: After the interview analysis, an issue that stands out is management’s ineffectiveness in the workplace due to the lack of proper training and development. Because of this lack of proper training and development, managers are not equipped with the skills and abilities needed to motivate and engage a diverse population of employees. This situation is leading to poor performance outcomes in many organizations. For the final product, a business student could create a video of several workplace scenarios that would reveal that issues/problems caused by this lack of training. Criminal Justice and Social Sciences 1. Career Interest Area of Law Enforcement: One issue is women have long been underrepresented in the criminal justice workforce. This underrepresentation is despite the fact that research has repeatedly shown the benefits of women in policing, including the likelihood of not using excessive force, the ability to diffuse volatile situations, and their inherent skill at addressing violence against women. Underrepresentation of women in the law enforcement profession has been an ongoing problem for as long as women have sought it as a career. For the final product, a CJSS student could collect images of police officers in the surrounding cities/towns (or his or her own city/town) and compile a collage revealing the gender disparity with accompanying statistical support in the form of referenced data and sources. Arts and Sciences 1. Career Interest Area of Exercise Science/Nutrition: One issue is the growing obesity epidemic in America.

Discussion 1: Social Security and Social Welfare Programs For years, many working individuals in the United States have counted on Social Security as their primary retirement income. With the deductions from every paycheck to fund this future benefit, Americans looked forward to a comfortable retirement based on the assumption that these funds were being invested wisely. Is this a factual assumption, or is it another myth of the U.S. social welfare system? Relying on Social Security as a sole means of support in retirement is uncommon. As society’s work habits and life expectancies change, Social Security has come to mean different things to different people. For those who are unable to save and/or invest on their own, it functions like a forced retirement program that provides a financial safety net for the future. For those who become unable to work, social security often is viewed by others as a public assistance program. For others who are financially secure and prepared for retirement, it is an entitlement program where individuals draw Social Security at retirement in an effort to recoup what they paid into the program by deductions from their wages. How might these perceptions of Social Security relate to the perceptions of public assistance programs that were discussed in last week’s resources? For this Discussion, review this week’s resources. Then, consider how Social Security is different from public assistance programs. Finally, think about how these differences are important in terms of the general perception of Social Security benefits. Post by Day 3 an explanation of how Social Security is different from public assistance programs. Then, explain how these differences are important, in terms of the general perception of Social Security benefits. Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references. .

Discussion 1: Religion and Privilege For citizens in some countries, religious oppression is common and long standing. While freedom of religion is guaranteed in the U.S., religious intolerance still exists. According to the Equal Opportunity Employment commission, the number of lawsuits filed for religious discrimination doubled between 2000–2010 (Pledger, 2011). Social workers must be alert for the complex ways that religious privilege functions. By creating an awareness of the privilege given to some while marginalizing others, social workers can understand how this bias impacts their clients. Post an explanation of the connections between privilege and religion. Describe a situation in which members of a religion experience privilege. Describe a situation in which members of a religion experience religious oppression . References (use at least 2) Adams, M., Blumenfeld, W. J., Castaneda, C., Hackman, H. W., Peters, M.

Discussion 1: Social and Economic Justice The Center for Economic and Social Justice defines “social justice” as “giving to each what he or she is due.” “Economic justice” is concerned with determining what an individual’s “due” actually encompasses. For this Discussion, select a case study in this week’s Readings. Review the case study, focusing on the social or economic justice issues at play in the situation described. ***Post a description of a social or economic justice issue that is evident in the case. Suggest two strategies the social worker might employ to address the issue. Reference: Center for Economic and Social Justice. (n.d.). Defining economic justice and social justice . Retrieved from June 11, 2013, from http://www.cesj.org/thirdway/economicjustice-defined.htm CASE STUDY: Working With Survivors of Sexual Abuse and Trauma: The Case of Brenna Brenna is an 18-year-old, heterosexual, African American female. She is pregnant, residing in a homeless shelter, and has no income source. Brenna was raised by her biological mother in a one-bedroom apartment in an urban neighborhood. When Brenna was 15 years old, her mother began dating a new man. This man sexually assaulted Brenna while they were home alone one evening. She immediately disclosed the sexual assault to her mother who called her a liar and told her to move out. Brenna then lived in a variety of situations, sometimes residing with friends for short periods and sometimes living in a youth shelter. During this period she attended high school intermittently but did not graduate. After her 18th birthday, Brenna moved in with her boyfriend, Cameron. Also living in the household were Cameron’s mother, his 16-year-old sister, and a 7-year-old brother. Shortly after moving in with Cameron, Brenna became pregnant with his child. Prior to the pregnancy, Cameron would often abuse her physically, verbally, and emotionally. When Brenna announced the pregnancy, Cameron became even more violent, accused her of sleeping with other men, and denied paternity of the baby. When Brenna was 4 months pregnant, Cameron attempted to strangle her, so Brenna moved to a shelter. Although the shelter was willing to house Brenna and her newborn temporarily, their policy required Brenna to secure new living arrangements prior to giving birth. I was assigned to be Brenna’s social work case manager at this shelter. Brenna and I worked together to set manageable goals during her stay at the shelter and also developed a plan for ongoing mental health support. Utilizing individual case management sessions, I worked with Brenna to prioritize goals regarding nancial stability, permanent housing, and medical care. Brenna had dif culty reading and writing, so we worked together to PRACTICE 31 SOCIAL WORK CASE STUDIES: FOUNDATION YEAR complete the applications for Medicaid; General Assistance; the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Chil- dren (WIC); and a local subsidized apartment.

Discussion 1: Sara Parker and Ethics One of the reasons there can be so much debate about ethical issues is because ethics are opinions informed by people's values and people have different values. People can disagree about whether or not something is unethical, and, oftentimes, there is no right answer. In order to make decisions about what may be ethical or unethical, Yegidis (2012, p. 29) suggests focusing on these three questions: "Who should benefit or suffer from the actions of the researcher?" "Whose rights should take priority over those of others?" "Does the end (increased knowledge) justify the means (the methods used to acquire it and their potential for harm)?" For this Discussion, view the Sessions episode on the Parker family. As you do so, consider which, if any, ethical mandates or standards were violated. · Post a response explaining your reaction to the Parker episode. · Be sure to address whether or not the social worker violated any ethical mandates or standards. · Also explain which strategies could have been used to guide ethical practice. · Finally, describe the responsibility of the social workers in the Parker case.

Discussion 1: Reflections on Qualitative Research for Social Change Introduction: Social Change In the recent years, the pursuit for institutions, “practical researchers” and individuals to join in the crusade for social change has been remarkable; as many people around the world are reaching out to their neighborhoods as a member of the community to contribute to the common good through research, service, and educational opportunities ( Yob & Brewer, 2015. p.2). Social change constitutes a change in the nature, the social institutions, the social behavior or the social relations of a society, community of people, or other social structures (Walden University, 2016). Social change can be at the micro scale (that positively shape values, attitudes and behaviors) or at the macro scale (that positively shape economies, religion and families). The Essence of Social Change to a Walden Student Yob & Brewer (2015) observed that the term “social change” has been defined and analyzed across the academic disciplines, reflecting the particular perspective of that discipline and its research agenda. Prominent among the definition of social change are the concepts of social justice and equity which have been significant in discussions of social change in education, psychology, and social and cultural studies (Curry-Stevens, 2007; Drury & Reicher , 2009; Moely , Furco , & Reed, 2008; and Peterson, 2009, as were cited in Yob & Brewer (2015). There are as many definitions for social change as we have social scientists. However Hoff and Hickling -Hudson (2011), supporting the definition of Aloni (2002), provided the definition which places social change as “challenging trends of discrimination, exploitation, oppression, and subjugation displayed by groups who regard themselves as favored and, thus, take privileges for themselves and deprive other groups of the right to a dignified life” (p. 189). In this context, “ change” as is used in the “social change” is defined here in positive and value-laden terms that relate more particularly to the agents of social change than to others they might want to change. There is a great range and variation in the roles and positions that researchers takes up in research, as was observed by Ravitch & Carl (2016). Over the years ( more than 45 years), Walden University has produced career professionals with the opportunity to transform themselves as scholar-practitioners so that they can apply what they’ve learned to effect positive social change. Walden is focused on inspiring and celebrating the remarkable achievements of community members who continue to make a difference by addressing challenges where they live, in their professions, and in the world around them. This was a major factor that attracted me to pursue a programme at Walden. In our sub-region, (the sub-Sahara Africa), addressing the issue of social change from the national perspective has not been as significant relative to the.

Discussion 1 As of my experience and observations mainly there are Two key themes in contemporary information systems development there are First one is: how to build and issue systems in tinier time settings second one is: how to empower development clusters to build systems in a consistent manner. This is reflected in present days’ principal fashionable this information system development methods such as nimble, their characteristic feature being an unambiguous prominence on unremitting, appropriate proclamations and a simplification of operative cluster association and announcement. As of my experience and observations most of the software developers we reconnoitre the personal property of cluster consistency and two categories of time pressure, deterrent and challenge, on the decision-making eminence of system development clusters. The challenge time pressure and cluster consistency to have a optimistic consequence with interruption time pressure having no substantial influence. As well working composed in a consistent cluster, petite, system development cycles mean that Software Development clusters obligation similarly work under fluctuating gradations of time pressure. Most studies in this field of information systems development and software development on time pressure measure time as a rectilinear hypothesis and enumerate it in terms of time ancient history. In this Developments I observed One of the major matters with these revisions nevertheless is that they frequently harvest contradictory consequences and as hitherto, there is no any approved and comprehensive hypothetical empathetic of the time pressure hypothesis. In my experience, I would like to share one example, some outcomes recommend that software development clusters achieve improved under time pressure. So far others recommend that clusters accomplish improved up to a convinced argument after which presentation deteriorations, important to the generally recognized reversed-U model. It is clear that time pressure is a multipart hypothesis and while typically scrutinized as a linear hypothesis, nonlinear associations are conceivable. With a present prominence in information system development and in particular software development on clusters conclusion production in pressurized environments it is domineering that investigators endure to gain larger empathetic of the anthropological behavioural characteristic of the decision-making development. Sympathetic how clusters work composed under time pressure is a key goal in development system and its essential to entirely appreciate this complication and help comprehend accurately how and if time pressure and consistency influence of software development clusters. Seeming Time Pressure in Teams Time pressure is abstractly diverse from insistence. Perseverance is a unchanging peculiarity that reproduces a anxiety for time and a feeling of being recurrently pressurized In disparity, time pressure is an assessment of the task si.

Discussion 1: Influence of Classical Democratic Theorists Since ancient times, the idea of how people should govern has been a mainstay of philosophers and political theorists. One of the most enduring notions to emerge from early theorists is the basic belief that people are capable of governing themselves. The concept of democratic governance developed out of those early intellectual discussions. Democratic governance enjoys widespread acceptance in many parts of the world today. Yet, the exact meaning of democratic governance and how it should be implemented still remains a topic of debate. Democratic theory has evolved because of contributions from classical democratic theorists such as Aristotle, Plato, Rousseau, Locke, and Jefferson. It is important to consider of the ideas of these classical theorists when thinking about modern democratic theory. To prepare for this Discussion Review the Course Introduction. Keep this overview in mind as you work through each week of the course. Review the article “American Nightmare: Neoliberalism, Neoconservatism, and De-Democratization” in this week’s Learning Resources. Think about the effects of political democratic theories on contemporary democracy. Review the article “Rhetoric and the Public Sphere: Has Deliberative Democracy Abandoned Mass Democracy?” in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider how Plato’s theory of deliberative democracy influenced contemporary theories of democracy. Review the articles “John Locke” and “Jean Jacques Rousseau” in this week’s Learning Resources. Think about how social contract theory is related to contemporary democratic theory. Select at least one classical democratic theorist and consider his influence on contemporary democratic theory. With these thoughts in mind: Post by Day 3 an analysis of the influence of at least one classical democratic theorist on modern democratic theory. Be specific and provide examples. .

Discussion 1: Coding Scholar of Change of Video # 3 (John Anner) Brief Description of the Video The scholar of change video (program transcript) was presented by John Anner, a PhD candidate in Public Policy Administration (with concentration on International Non-governmental Organizations. – Walden University. Over the years, Anner have been focusing on agricultural problems in Africa and the Caribbean, and later joined the Peace Corps, where he worked as a Peace Corps volunteer in agriculture in Mauritania and West Africa. Anner has been a practitioner for almost 30 years and quest to acquire a PhD is to enable him add some intellectual and academic rigor to his work. He hope to bring to bear, his knowledge, experience and understanding to build national policy networks targeted at addressing directed social problems. Coding the Scholar Change A code in qualitative inquiry is most often a word or a short phrase that symbolically assigns a summative, a summary, a salient or essence-capturing attribute, for some portion of language, or visual data ( Saldana, 2016) . My coding preference will be the use of the Excel spreadsheet with the labelling of the columns to include; the video code number (under this, I’ll have my notes), the name of the student, gender, program of study, subject matter/topic, what happened in the video (under this I’ll have my transcript which will capture my report content), quick memo. To demonstrate the first coding, for instance, I’ll have the following; under the column for video code number (I’ll have video #3), the column for the name of the student (I’ll have John Anner ), under gender column ( male ), program of study ( PhD in Public Policy Administration ), subject matter/topic ( scholar of change ), under the transcript (I’ll have focused his attention on agricultural problems in Africa and the Caribbean, and later joined the Peace Corps, and worked as a Peace Corps volunteer in agriculture in Mauritania, West Africa; a practitioner for almost 30 years; his quest to acquire a PhD is to enable him add some intellectual and academic rigor to his work). Explaining My Choice of Coding Another attractive aspect of this qualitative coding system is the insertion of a column for memos . “Memos are a very important part of qualitative data analysis process because they offer a great platform to put very short notes which can be expanded and placed in in the researcher’s analytic memo notebook” ( Laureate Education - Producer, 2016). Again at periods of data analysis and reflections, a memo will enable the interviewer to know what part of the text (or the questionnaire) the information came from and what the interviewer was thinking about at that period in time.

Discussion 1: Managing Diverse Teams For the last half-century, the workforce in the United States has been undergoing tremendous demographic changes. For example, in 2009 women accounted for almost 48% of American workforce, compared to 37% in 1970 (Barsh & Yee, 2011). Additionally, workers under the age of 44, and those most likely to be in school, college, or professional training, are more ethnically and racially diverse than ever before (Policy Alert, 2005). This is only diversity of gender, race, and ethnicity; consider how managers today must also lead increasingly diverse teams in terms of age, experience, nationality, geographic location, and even diversity of thinking styles. Contemporary businesses draw employees from a more diverse pool of talent than ever before. To be successful, top managers must understand how to develop and lead diverse teams. Managing a group composed of individuals with unique cultures, backgrounds, personalities, and abilities can be a daunting task. As a manager, it is your responsibility to ensure that team and group interactions are successful. As you review the Learning Resources this week to prepare for your Discussion posting, think about how you define diversity and diversity affects teams. Pay particular attention to the media resource, “Will Differences Doom the Team,” which presents some of the challenges managers face when leading a diverse team, and consider the key competencies managers must possess to effectively manage a diverse team. As you prepare for your post, consider what diversity means for you and how the diversity you have encountered in your professional experience have impacted how the team functions. .

Discussion 1: Classism Income and wages are measurable indicators of how prosperity is distributed amongst social class. Wealth, often determined by an individual's net worth (assets minus liabilities), is another indicator that is used to determine class. Wealth for working class families is measured by their cars, savings, and home. As people improve their social and economic standing, wealth may include things like stocks and bonds, commercial real estate, and expensive jewelry. Wealth is an important indicator because it spans past, present, and future generations. For example, compare the children of parents who can save money and leave an inheritance with children of parents who economically struggle and have few assets to pass on to the next generation. Historically, the creation and accumulation of wealth provides evidence of the legacy of racism, sexism, and discrimination and their role in determining class. Black/African Americans, women, and Hispanic/Latinos have historically been denied the means to obtain assets and grow wealth. Consider the impact of chronic marginalization on the Black/African American community's ability to build wealth. While the income gaps between various ethnic groups may be decreasing, the gap between assets remains wide. Data from the Pew Research center show that the median wealth of Caucasian households is 20 times that of Black/African American households and 18 times that of Hispanic/Latinos households in the U.S. (Pew Research Center, 2011). Class extends beyond wealth and other financial indicators. Class also includes details like the amount of free time you enjoy (because you are not working three jobs to make ends meet) or feeling like there is a "right" way to speak and act in order to be heard. For this Discussion, analyze how classism has impacted your life. · Post an analysis of how classism has factored into your life. · Then, explain a strategy you might use as a social worker to address the impact of class and class differences on the lives of your clients. References (use 2 or more) Adams, M., Blumenfeld, W. J., Castaneda, C., Hackman, H. W., Peters, M. L., & Zuniga, X. (Eds.). (2013). Readings for diversity and social justice . (3rd ed.). New York, NY: Routledge Press. Discussion 2: Power, Privilege, and Classism Power, privilege, and classism are interconnected. The more privilege you enjoy, the more power you have to access opportunities that build wealth. The more wealth you can amass, the higher your social standing. It is important to note that having wealth is not an indictment. However, the privileges that have often led to inequalities in wealth distribution are real. As a social worker, you may find yourself working with clients who do not enjoy the privileges you knowingly or unknowingly enjoy. The more you understand your own relationship to power, privilege, and class, the better you will understand your clients' realities. For this Discussion, review how classis.

Discussion 1: Cultural Identity What is culture? Is it synonymous with nationality? Can culture emerge from the intersection of multiple factors, such as gender identity, ability status, or language? Consider these questions as you prepare to describe your own culture. For this Discussion, think about how you would identify your culture. Consider aspects of your identity. I am black, a male, christian, heterosexual and do not have any disabilites. Or explain any other identifiers that contribute to what you would consider your culture.
