Groups in Action Workbook – Evolution of a Group (Segments 4 and 5) Upon viewing the Groups in Action DVD (Segments 4-5, you will answer workbook questions that emphasize the application of concepts and techniques appropriate to the various stages of a group’s development. As you watch the DVD, you will come to an icon number (17-29). It is at this time that you must stop the DVD and read the text corresponding to the icon number in the workbook. For example, the first icon you will come to is 1: Initial Stage. Stop the DVD and read the text for Icon 1: Initial Stage in your workbook (pp. 20-21). Icon 17: Questions 1 and 2 (p. 59) 1) A member (SusAnne) tells you she wants to work, yet she keeps herself very vague and global. What do you say to her? 2) You are leading a group and ask, “Who wants to work?” There is a long silence and nobody gives any indication of wanting to work. What assumptions might you draw from this situation? What might you say? Icon 19: Questions 2-5 (pp. 61-62) 2) Assume that after Casey disclosed that she was gay, one member of the group said, “Casey, I need to let you know that I have a hard time hearing this, because I am not comfortable with homosexuality.” How would you intervene? 3) In a role play, Casey spoke to her symbolic mother in Vietnamese. As she did so, what did you observe? 4) Would you have any concerns for Casey if she indicated her intention to tell her mother that she is gay? Would you address your concerns with her? Why or why not? 5) What would you say if several group members began pressuring Casey to talk to her mother in real life and let her know about her sexual orientation? Icon 20: Question 2 (p. 63) 2) How would you decide what to focus on with Jyl? Would you focus on her sadness over losing her father? Her issues with men? Her disappointment of not having become a pianist? What would guide you in your decision? Icon 21: Question 2 (p. 64) 2) Given that Jackie has insight into her behavior, would you be inclined to suggest homework to her, and if so, what would this be? Icon 22: Questions 1 and 2 (p. 64) 1) Jacqueline talks about striving to get her mother’s approval. What strategies would you use to facilitate her work? 2) Discuss what you consider to be the pros and cons of the leader being utilized by group members in role play. Icon 23: Questions 1 and 3 (p. 67) 1) How were you personally affected as you observed Darren’s work described above? How might that influence the way you work with him? 3) Assume you are leading the group and after Darren’s work, he announces, “I’m feeling vulnerable and embarrassed. I can’t believe that I lost control like that.” How would you deal with this statement?

Argument and Persuasion is a somewhat more challenging rhetorical mode to employ (than description or cause and effect) because it has to function successfully on three levels simultaneously. These are called the three “Levels of Appeal.” The levels are: Logical/rational Moral/ethical Emotional Other rhetorical modes only operate on the logical/rational level. As you study READ3, notice and think about how Jefferson, Lincoln, King, and Hughes use Argumentation and Persuasion while satisfying the three “Levels of Appeal.” Then, in the discussion board Discuss the issues you find in these writers that you feel are most important today. .

The feedback will help you revise the draft so you can submit it as a final. The final version will be graded. Option #1: Your Position on Pirated Movies Develop a thesis statement on the topic of pirated movies (piracy hurts the economy by…, society can prevent movie piracy by…, etc.) and write an argumentative essay. Strive for at least three strong arguments in addition to a counterargument and refutation (see counterargument and refutation details in the Top Ten Tips section). Using argumentative topic sentences that include your opinion for each section can help ensure the majority of your essay is argumentative. Beginning of a sample topic sentence: “The first way movie piracy hurts the economy is….” Then be sure to support that claim with researched data. Conclude each paragraph with a sentence that summarizes the paragraph’s main ideas. Sample Thesis Statement: Ideally, a thesis would include the major assignment objectives for the essay, which in this case would be your claim/opinion, reasons why you have that opinion, and the counter-argument: “Movie piracy is unethical because (add argument 1), (add argument 2), and (add argument 3), even though (add counterargument focus).” Note that a thorough thesis statement will include the counterargument in addition to your own arguments. See Top Ten Tips section for more thesis statement assistance.

Are humans experiencing microevolution due to natural selection? If yes, propose an example. If no, explain why not. Cite your source(s) at the end of your post. What is the distinction between micro and macroevolution? Can one accept one idea and not the other? Explain your answer and cite your source(s). If we maintain a strict biological definition of “species”, H. sapiens and H. neanderthalensis were NOT separate species as they successfully interbred. What impact might this information have on assigning a date to the origin of humans? Are there any other implications? Cite your source(s) at the end of your post. Throughout the past seven modules you have been presented with an introduction to evolutionary theory and some lines of evidence for its validity. There are many websites that purport to illustrate the falsity of evolution. Go online and research a single argument that one of these sites makes against evolution. Select one that you find interesting or support or find most plausible. Make a post with the following components: A) Explain the specific argument against evolutionary theory. B) Evaluate the argument. Support or Refute it. Use citations from trusted sources to support your work. .

Apply the reading on the MyArtsLab Closer Look at “Édouard Manet, Olympia ,” The image of Manet's "Olympia" may at first appear to be nothing more than another painting like so many using many images and symbols to depict some element of higher culture. But if one were to take the time and look at Titian's "Venus of Urbino", you would realize Manet's work is making specific reference to this painting with a strong social commentary about the morals and values of the times and the way in which poverty have taken its toll on the poor in Paris. Art continues to be a powerful force in drawing attention to social issues. For your discussion topic, briefly identify one instance in present-day culture where an individual communicated a social message in the form of a painting, film, commercial, billboard, poster, or any other visual mode of communication. Analyze your selection and describe the visual message represented. .

Application: Volunteers: Roles and Relationships Board Governance & Volunteer Management ASSIGNMENT DUE SUNDAY 3/15/20 8:00 pm NEW YORK TIME APA format 1-3 pages within the references and in paper citations Many nonprofit organizations cannot afford to employ staff for all the work that must be done to achieve organizational goals. Volunteers, then, are often integral contributors to organizational success. In order to ensure high volunteer retention, special care must be taken to design volunteer positions that are both interesting and meaningful to the volunteer and important to the organization. Paid staff members are usually responsible for designing and delegating work to volunteers, so the relationship between the two groups is important. Volunteers need to know they are valued and appreciated for their contribution to the overall mission of the organization. Tensions arise when paid staff regard volunteers as somehow "less than" the staff or as an impediment to their getting their work done. The goal is for there to be a working relationship that satisfies the needs and desires of both groups. To prepare for this assignment: Review Chapter 4 in the course text, Volunteer Managemen t . Think about how you might include nongoverning volunteers in an organization. Consider what positions might foster an active and highly-motivated commitment to the mission of an organization. Review Chapter 13 in the course text, Volunteer Management . Pay close attention to the importance of staff–volunteer relationships and how integration and support of the two groups might enhance the mission of an organization. Consider how volunteer and staff diversity might influence an organization and what strategies you might use to foster positive attitudes and relationships within your organization. The assignment (1-3 pages): Briefly describe a volunteer position in an organization with which you are familiar (your Final Project organization or another). Explain the roles and tasks of this volunteer position based on the four "game characteristics" described in Chapter 4 of Volunteer Management . Based on the position you selected and the roles and tasks associated with it, predict what might be required of a supervising staff member to ensuOr will will will contact with the part of the Month after the id staff and a nongoverning volunteer in this position. Describe how you might address each issue. Explain how you would address diversity issues among staff members and nongoverning volunteers. .

Application: Special Needs From a Variety of Perspectives Throughout this course, you will be studying many topics related to children with special needs. The readings, content reviews, and Discussions will help you gain a valuable base of information. To expand your knowledge, the course Applications will offer ways to explore areas of special needs in more depth and increase your awareness of what it is like to teach and to parent a child with special needs, or to be someone who has been identified with a special need. Before you begin the Week 1 Application, review the outline below in order to plan effectively. Week 1: Write a Brochure on Early Intervention Services. You will imagine yourself in the role of a Child Development Community Liaison for a nonprofit organization that provides programs related to infant/toddler healthy development. Your job is to create a brochure for infant/toddler program directors and caregivers informing them about your services. Week 2: Interview with a Teacher or Caregiver. You will have a choice of interviewing a teacher whose expertise is special education and who works with children ages 3–8, or a teacher or caregiver who has a child or children in his/her setting who have been identified with special needs. Week 3: Research and Information Exchange, Part 1. You will research a category of special needs that is of interest to you in order to gain a greater depth of knowledge. Week 4: Research and Information Exchange, Part 2. You will share, review, and reflect on fellow students' research on different categories of special needs. Week 5: Interview with a Parent of a Child with Special Needs or with a Student or Adult with Special Needs. You will have a choice of interviewing a parent or other close adult family member of a child with special needs, or a person with special needs who would like to share his or her experiences and perspectives. Week 1: Write a Brochure on Early Intervention Services As you have learned this week, early intervention services can include programs for infants and toddlers who may be at risk from biological or environmental issues that could lead to developmental delays or other special needs. One challenge to early intervention service providers is to ensure that they reach out and connect with families. All of the various types of infant and toddler programs in a community, including family day care homes, Early Start, faith-based programs, community organizations, can play an important role in connecting families to available early intervention services. For your Application Assignment this week, imagine that you have been hired as a Child Development Community Liaison for a community organization called The Guidance Center Inc. In reality, this respected, not-for-profit organization serves the communities of Cambridge and Somerville in Massachusetts. As part of The Guidance Center's Early Childhood Services for ages 0–6 , their Infant-Toddler Services include four p.

Application: Theoretical Frameworks Earlier weeks have focused on the importance of identifying and evaluating relevant scholarly literature, and then creating a synthesis that forms the literature review. In designing studies on social problems and in policy arenas, researchers build on these findings from earlier studies, often with new topics in the same or a related field, or with new populations, research design, or research methods. This is described in your research text in the context of identifying elements to study, together with their relevance and relationships, as “investigators integrate their ideas, the observations of others, the research literature, and their own research” (O’Sullivan, Rassel, & Berner, 2008, p. 7). Just as scholarly researchers base their study designs on related research literature, so, too, must they investigate and apply various theories. Theories, in both researchers’ own and related disciplines, are built on and developed from earlier theories. In order to understand and be able to apply theories to research in public policy and administration, one must “appreciate the historical contexts through which it has developed and the cultural milieus during which important contributions were made to its body of ideas and knowledge” (Shafritz, Ott, & Jang, 2016, p. 2). An illustration of the networks, connections, and processes among three theories in a theoretical framework will provide the visual that may help to stimulate your thinking about your work on a theoretical framework, and its relationship to your literature synthesis . Examine the literature in your readings and search peer-reviewed journal articles, to analyze how the theoretical frameworks you are considering using have been used in other research. In 1–2 pages, justify your selection of the two theoretical frameworks you identified in this week’s Discussion. In what way are the theoretical frameworks applicable to your proposed research? Provide examples from the literature. Explain the appropriateness to public policy and administration. Support your Application Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation .

Application: The Civil Service System How do public administrators become public administrators? Who recruits, selects, and hires them? How are they paid, promoted, and evaluated? The civil service system is similar to the human resources (HR) department at a private organization. That is, it is concerned with all of the issues and tasks related to employment within the organization. Since the "organization" in this case is the government, there also are many differences between the civil service system and the human resources practices at most private companies. Government organizations have very specific, rigid processes for recruitment, selection, promotion, and appraisal of employees. Many of these processes have been in place since the 19th century. For example, prospective civil servants must pass exams before even being considered for a government position. This is part of the merit system, which is one of the foundational principles of the civil service system. The merit system is based on the idea that the most qualified person should fill each position, rather than a person who simply has the "right" political connections. In addition, government positions all are given a specific classification, which determines the rate of pay.
