I believe that my faith influenced my choice in pursuing a
human service profession because God encourages us to have a
servant heart. I truly have a passion to helping people by
building relationships in order to connect them to resources. I
want to be able to fulfill my purpose and be in the mission field
by helping others reach their full potential.
The new deal and social security act of 1935 proved to assist
the nation in times of hardship. The initial president’s hesitant
response to the country’s crisis demonstrated the need for
human services providers to come together and help. I believe
that this historical event where Roosevelt created 15 new
programs that took the country out of depression made great
changes that till this day we are benefitting from and are still in
place.
According to the reading, this historical event showed
Americans that poverty could impact on anybody. The
formation of these policies helped so many Americans get back
on their feet. This is why I believe that this is one of the most
important historical events. Not only did you see the president
take action to help his nation but also it brought forth human
service providers to fight for human rights. (Martin)
In 2008 when the economy hit a recession, policy makers
studied Roosevelt’s New Deal from the 1930’s in order to learn
from it. This comes to show that the impact of these reforms
and policies are still obvious and active till this day. They are
using these policies as a platform of how to address present and
future economic struggles. “Recent events demonstrate that
understanding the New Deal and Great Depression is as
important as ever. The intellectual stakes are high, and the
interpretation of history may influence, directly or indirectly,
the course of policy in a moment of crisis. It is hardly
surprising that the diverse set of policies driven by Roosevelt's

mandate to “above all, try something” sometimes led to
counterproductive and unintended results.“ (Collins, 2013)

The bombing of World Trade Center took place on September
11, 2001, which caused the tremendous destruction of
both life properties. It was a clear summer day when
Al Qaeda extremists hijacked three passenger planes
and conducted suicidal attacks against the Pentagon in
Washington and the World Trade Center in New York where all
passengers on board died as well as about 3.000 other
individuals on ground (
Sather-Wagstaff, 2011). The fourth airplane crashed into the
Pennsylvania pitch and killed the who were on board because of
the attempt made by the passengers to seize control from the
terrorist. The first three planes that crushed in New York and
Washington were Flight 11, which was a Boeing model 767 that
had 92 passengers aboard, Flight 165 with 65 passengers, and
Flight 77 with 64 passengers. Flight 11 left Logan International
Airport in Boston for Los Angeles at around 7:59 am.
Captor Mohammed Atta made the initial accidental broadcast
from flight 11 to the FAA control room on the ground, which
alerted the NORAD's air defense sector but it was too late to
secure Flight 11 and the passengers aboard. At about quarter to
9 in the morning, Flight 11 crashes to WTC completely
destroying floors 93-to 99 ( Sather-Wagstaff,2011). All the
passengers on board and hundreds of he people who were inside
the WTC died. Andrew Card who was the Chief of Staff in the
White House alerted President G.W Bush who was in Florida
about the incident four minutes later.
Several efforts were made by FAA in conjunction with
FDNY, NYPD, and NEADS to salvage the situation but the

terrorist accomplished their mission. Eventually, at least 3,300
people died with millions of dollars of properties destroyed
( Sather-Wagstaff,2011). The President made a national address
at about 8: 30 in the evening condemning the act and requesting
Americans to unite in the fight against terrorism.

One of the most important historical events in the history of the
human services profession was the election of Franklin D.
Roosevelt as President in 1932 and the implementation of the
New Deal. With the backing of the Federal government, he
transformed the practice of social work and human services
from a private urban collective to public agencies nationwide.
He coordinated and organized the efforts of social workers
across the country, providing financial backing of the
government to fund thousands of workers in positions of social
work (Marx, 2011). Within days of his inauguration, Roosevelt
quickly implemented many programs to help with the economic
crisis of 1929. He created the Civil Works Administration
(CWA), providing millions of unemployed with jobs, and the
Federal Emergency Relief Act (FERA), which not only provided
assistance to the unemployed in the form of nourishment and
other aid (Martin, 2014). , but, as Marx stated, “required every
local relief administrator to hire at least one experience social
worker on their staff.” (as cited in Trattner, 1999, p. 285;296-
297). Because of this requirement, the moral principles and
procedures of social work stretched all over America, doubling
the number of employed social workers positions, from 30,000
to 60,000 during the 1930’s (Marx, 2011). With the creation of
the Social Security Act, Roosevelt created offices all over the
country to help aid dependent mothers and children, the
disabled and the blind, as well as assistance for the elderly and
compensation for the unemployed (Martin, 2014). He regulated

the financial market with the Security and Exchange Committee
(SEC) and provided insurance for checking accounts with the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) (Martin, 2014).
The SEC, FDIC, Social Security unemployment compensation
are some of the programs that still exist today. As a result of
this government expansion, Roosevelt supported and
encouraged not only the general public, but gave social workers
the respect they deserved with the funding to make real changes
in society as they were endowed with actual power to do so.

The human resource is one of the most important project
resources, but it is very unpredictable. Possessing strong
leadership skills is a part of the equation. The other is getting to
know your project team as unique personality types that are
each motivated in different ways. One style of leadership does
not “fit all.” For this Discussion Board, you will be researching
links to assess your leadership style, communication style, and
your project team’s personality type. Some of this research will
be incorporated in the Key Assignment project that you will be
selecting in the Individual Project for this week.
The following Discussion Board research will assist you.
Research at least 2 sources (which may include your textbook)
to support your response.

•Research 2 Web links that would allow you to assess your
leadership style, and try both of them. Which one best
represents your leadership style, and why?
•Research 2 Web links that would allow you to assess your
communication style, and try both of them. Which one best
represents your communication style, and why?
•Research 2 Web links that would allow you to get to know your
project team’s personality better. Discuss why each might help
in getting to know your individual team member’s strengths.
Examine communication styles, types, channels, and links and
the relationships among the project teams. Use effective
communication techniques.
Use team and problem-solving skills to collaborate on a project.

Verview
You will need to research and identify a project of your
choosing to be the representative project for this course. The
project identified by you will be applied for all of the
assignments as appropriate.
It can be argued that one of your most important assets to a
project is your “human” resource. Therefore, a key project
management skill is leadership in terms of developing and
motivating the project team. In this course, you will gain
expertise in preparing a strategy incorporating good human
resource practices based on accepted theories and models. You
will select a project that you may have developed in a previous
class or a known project in an organization that has a project
team that could benefit from a Project Human Resource
Management Strategy Plan.
Throughout this course, you will be working on developing
several components of the final Key Assignment. Additional
information and the deliverables for each Individual Project will
be provided in the assignment description for this project.
In this first Individual Project, you are asked to develop the

outline of the sections that will be included in your Project
Human Resource Management Strategy Plan document and a
draft of a proposal to submit to your instructor. The other
information that you will include is a high-level description of
the project that you will be developing the strategy plan for.
You will also be setting up the final Key Assignment outline
that you will add to each week. The combined Individual
Project (IP) assignments will be your final Key Assignment
deliverable.
Project Selection
The first step will be to select a project that you plan to develop
a human recourse strategy plan for. This project will be used as
the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course and
should conform to the following guidelines:
1.Nontrivial: The selected project candidate should reflect a
real-life project.
2.Domain knowledge: You will be applying knowledge of this
project to address assignments related to motivating and
supporting the human resource component of the project.
Select a project that fits these requirements, and submit your
proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the
assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the
first few days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to
submit this proposal and what notification will be given for
project approval.
Assignment Guidelines
Your first task in this process will be to select a project to use
as the basis of your Key Assignment. You will also create the
shell document for the final project Key Assignment document
deliverable that you will be working on throughout the course.
As you proceed through each project phase, you will add
content to each section of the final document to progressively
complete the final project delivery, which is the Project Human
Resource Management Strategy Plan.

After gaining a deeper understanding of your own leadership
and communication style, it is time to turn your focus outward
to your team. To keep your team performing at a high level, it is
first assumed that you have taken them through the stages of
building a team: forming, storming, norming, and performing.
In this Discussion Board, you will explore what you believe are
the goals of motivation, some of the theories driving
motivation, and what instrument you might use to measure how
each project team individual is motivated.
The following Discussion Board research will assist you in
determining what each of these dimensions means. Research at
least 2 sources (which may include your textbook) to support
your response.
•Name and describe the 5 most important goals for motivating

your project team, because these will be incorporated in your
overall motivation strategy plan.
•There are many theories, including what is mentioned in your
textbook, for motivating individuals. Select 3 of them to
compare and contrast.
•Research and select 1 online assessment tool for testing
motivational behavior.

You have already analyzed your own personal strengths for
leading and communicating with your project team. In this
week’s Discussion Board, you looked at some of the motivation
theories and models and methods for ascertaining what
motivates individual project team members. Now, it is time to
determine the strategy and plan for motivating your team
members.
Also, there are some facilitation techniques that you can use to
decide, as a team, what motivation activities you will add to the
overall plan. Possibilities include brainstorming and nominal
group technique, force field analysis, and mind mapping.

#5 Assignment Objectives
Identify sources of project conflict and stress, and choose
manageable approaches to each.
Explain consensus decision-making and how to manage
agreement.
Use team and problem-solving skills to collaborate on a project
write 400 words that respond to the following questions with
your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation
for future discussions with your classmates. Be substantive and
clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
With any human relationship, conflicts will arise. These can be
an advantage or a determent to a project. For example, for some
team members, the one individual who is always asking lots of
questions is perceived as a conflict to forward progress, when
this could really be a positive conflict because the detail and
overall documentation for the project will be better. In this
Discussion Board, you will explore both positive and negative
conflicts, look at causes for stress, and determine what might be
effective tools for consensus decision making.
The following Discussion Board research will assist you in
determining what each of these dimensions means. Research at
least 2 sources (which may include your textbook) to support

your response.
•Describe 6 potential conflicts (at least 3 negative) and their
potential impact on a project.
•Describe 3 stresses and their potential impact that could affect
individuals on the project or the project as a whole.
•Research and determine a method for performing consensus
decision making.
Include an introduction and conclusion to this topic. Be sure to
include your references and citations, and format your
submission in APA format.
