Assignment 2: Policy Identification According to the Council on Social Work Education, Competency 5: Engage in Policy Practice: Social workers understand that human rights and social justice, as well as social welfare and services, are mediated by policy and its implementation at the federal, state, and local levels. Social workers understand the history and current structures of social policies and services, the role of policy in service delivery, and the role of practice in policy development. Social workers understand their role in policy development and implementation within their practice settings at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels and they actively engage in policy practice to effect change within those settings. Social workers recognize and understand the historical, social, cultural, economic, organizational, environmental, and global influences that affect social policy. They are also knowledgeable about policy formulation, analysis, implementation, and evaluation. Walden’s MSW program expects students in their specialization year to be able to: Evaluate the implication of policies and policy change in the lives of clients/constituents. Demonstrate critical thinking skills that can be used to inform policymakers and influence policies that impact clients/constituents and services. This assignment is intended to help students demonstrate the behavioral components of this competency in their field education. To prepare : Working with your field instructor, identify a social problem that is common among the organization (or its clients) and research current policies at that state and federal levels that impact the social problem. Then, from a position of advocacy, identify methods to address the social problem (i.e., how you, as a social worker, and the agency advocate to change the problem). You are expected to specifically address how both you and the agency can effectively engage policy makers to make them aware of the social problem and the impact that the policies have on the agency and clients. The Assignment (2-3 pages): Identify the social problem Explain rational for selecting social problem Describe state and federal policies that impact the social problem Identify specific methods to address the social problems Explain how the agency and student can advocate to change the social problem .

Assignment 2: Needs Assessment Due Week 5 and worth 175 points You and your assigned classmate(s) have formed a human resource consulting company. You have been hired to provide training to the sales force for an automobile dealership. As part of your preparation for this consulting engagement, you and your team members must determine how best to approach the automobile dealership to engage the interest of the decision makers. Your part of this assignment is to propose the types of needs assessment tools that could be used to determine how to design and develop the automobile dealerships training programs. These could include software, models, or analysis methods. Once you complete your need assessment, you must now meet with the owner of the dealership to discuss the needs assessment. Do Not Create a Training Program!!! From the perspective of a team member, write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you: 1. Prepare, in outline form, the process your team could use to conduct the needs assessment for your client based upon the articles you selected.

Evaluate the feasibility of your approach to what is commonly done in the field. Feasibility is the likelihood your process would happen in this industry. Is your process a standard practice? 4. Explain why your needs assessment is critical to the development of the training program you plan to deliver. Your goal here is to answer what can happen if you develop training without understanding the training needs and why it is important to determine the issues correctly to avoid wasting time and money, in addition to not solving the problem. Remember you are training the sales force but the training may not be sales related it could be a process, time management, or low morale. This is what your consulting company has been hired to find out. 5. Use at least two (2) quality academic resources in this assignment. Two resources in addition to your textbook for maximum points. Review the week 3 discussion thread where you can find other types of needs assessment processes. If.

Media Plan : Analyze media availability to determine cost-efficient methods of communicating with potential students within the country and within the geographic region. (While television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet may be common in industrialized countries, developing economies may require other different media. In some countries, advertising messages are broadcast through large speakers mounted on moving trucks.) Promotional Strategy : Compare the benefits of push-and-pull promotions for acquiring new students at the institution. Devise a promotional strategy that will help EDUS expand the student body and also inform potential students of increased capability of the institution resulting from this acquisition.

Assignment 2 meets the following course objectives: Apply a sociological perspective to the social world. Analyze contemporary social issues using the sociological imagination and use sociological theories and concepts to analyze everyday life. Demonstrate the ability to identify, locate, and retrieve information related to the topics in the course. Purpose The primary goal of this exercise is to apply your developing sociological knowledge and skills to the analysis of a current event. Writing Expectations This should be 4-6 pages long, double-spaced, 12 pt font (arial or times new roman), with 1" margins. Instructions: Choosing a Current Event. A current event refers to something that is happening in the world at present and they are usually described on the news and in mass media. You must choose a report (written, from the radio, or televised) of an event that has been reported on within 3 months of the assignment deadline. Remember, the event you choose must have some relevance to the study of society, and you must properly cite the source from which you got your report. Describe the Current Event. Second, you will need to provide a brief summary of the current event. This should include details such as location, timing (i.e is this an ongoing event, does it appear to be a one time event, is this an example of an event that happens frequently), people involved, and any analysis offered by the report(er). Analyzing the Current Event. The final step in the process is conducting an analysis of the current event using knowledge you have gained from the course to-date. The most important thing here is that the analysis should not just be your opinion about the current event, but grounded in sociological theory and prior research. You will need to use at least 4 sociological concepts covered in this course to analyze the current event (i.e. social construction, stratification, social control, crime, deviance). You are strongly encouraged to use and cite sources. Sociological concepts should be clearly identified, defined and then applied. Any paraphrasing or direct quotes used from another source should include APA formatted in-text citations and a full reference at the end of the essay.

Assignment 2: LASA 1: The Neighborhoods of Centervale Here's What Happened . . . You have just been promoted to sergeant in the Community Policing Division of the Centervale Police Department. Your first assignment is to examine the criminal behavior in your area and work with local agencies to develop proactive policies to help reduce criminal activity and lower the overall crime rate. Your jurisdiction covers many different areas; you know that a one-size-fits-all approach will not work. You decide to break down your jurisdiction into smaller areas to tackle them individually. Area 1 is a low-income area that is often featured in the news for its high murder rate. This area is a transient, high-rent district (for example, the housing is not expensive, but most houses are rented, not owned, by occupants) populated with single-parent households. Most citizens are unemployed, and the high dropout rate paints the school system as being one of the worst in the region. Area 2 is also a low-income area with a lot of property crime but with an overall lower crime rate than that in Area 1. Many employed dual-parent households have purchased their homes through government programs instead of opting to rent. Although the schools are better and the dropout rate is relatively lower than that in Area 1, the dropout rate is still higher than the national average. Area 3 is culturally diverse and continually changes and grows every year. Although the overall crime rate has risen slowly, unemployment is high, property crime is high, and violent crime is high. Specifically, Area 3 has an unusually high murder rate. Area 4 has both employed, high-income families and employed, low-income families. Because land costs less, expensive houses continue to be built in low-income areas. The Centervale Police Department reports an extremely high number of calls-for-service from citizens residing in high-income housing in low-income neighborhoods, who report frequent incidents of vandalism and other property crimes. Here's What You Need To Do . . . Review the details and prepare a 3–4-page report that discusses the criminal activity in these areas. Compose your paper based on the following points: Analyze and evaluate each area. Based on your knowledge of the explanations of crime, identify and discuss key factors (for example, biological, environmental, and cultural) that may influence criminal activity. Select and apply the best criminological theory to explain the criminal activity for each area. Identify and discuss each area's specific characteristics as they relate to the theory's specific concepts and key terms. Be sure to include each tenet of the theory and explain how it connects to the characteristics of the specific area. Support your explanations with research gleaned from assigned readings, optional readings, and additional credible academic sources. Create a three-pronged plan to recommend that promotes crime reduction for each specific area to pre.

Assignment 2: LASA 1 – Letters from Birmingham Martin Luther King, Jr. was many things, a civil rights activist, nonviolent protestor, organizer, teacher, son, husband, father, and a black man. Many forget that he was first, a Christian Southern Baptist minister and preacher. His religious faith informed his ethical actions. After reading selections from Martin Luther King, Jr.’s, Letters from the Birmingham Jail , explore the role of Christian ethics in King’s actions during the turbulent times in the South in the 1960s. Consider the following: King was in Birmingham to address the issue of injustice by organizing a protest. Define the injustice and the protest and explain how Judeo-Christian ethics were applied to allow for civil disobedience. How was the injustice in Birmingham tied to all communities in the south? King lists four steps to nonviolent campaigns. Name them. How did these flow from King’s Christian ethical principles? How did King reconcile the “eye for an eye” Jewish ethical principle with the Christian “love one another” ethical principle of nonviolence? How do King’s ethical principles help him defend against the charges that his protests and law breaking were “untimely” considering the political situation in Birmingham at the time? Consider areas of conflict in the world today. Pick one and discuss how King’s actions and his ethical principles might resolve the issue. Reference King Jr., M. L. (1963).
