Assignment 1: Identity-through-Exclusion Discussion Question After reading the materials for this module, reflect on the different ways that various groups in American history have tried to define the national identity in terms of exclusion—whether it be whites excluding non-whites, males excluding females, natives excluding immigrants, and so on. For this discussion thread, think about ways that such a process of identity-through-exclusion persists today. For instance, one of the most obvious examples of “identity-through-exclusion” is our national identity. We know we are Americans because we are not Canadians, or Germans, or Japanese, and so on. Within American culture, we often define our identity in similar ways. Some stores exclude non-members from shopping there, some clubs or organizations require certain traits (for example, being a certain age, a certain religion, a certain ethnicity), and some rights exclude groups (voting rights, citizenships rights, and so on). Such exclusions are sometimes rooted in monetary gain (like requiring shoppers to buy memberships), sometimes in efficiency (like preventing children from voting), and sometimes in other goals. Can you think of any instances where Americans find or define their identity by excluding other groups? What groups are excluded, and what groups are doing the excluding? What does the excluding group hope to gain by preventing the other group from being counted as a member? Submit your responses to the appropriate Discussion Area . Start reviewing and responding to your peers’ posts as early in the module as possible. Expand on your classmates’ posts to critically engage in the discussion. You can ask a question, post a comment, or add a point to expand the discussion. Write your initial response in 3–4 paragraphs. By Friday, January 22, 2016 , post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area . Through Wednesday, January 27, 2016 , review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources. .

Assignment 1: Forces of Oppression Discussion Question After reading the materials for this module, reflect on the forces that were used to prevent women from achieving full citizenship in America for most of its history. Think, for instance, about the kinds of things that the young women in our readings said and thought about the life around them. How did they describe or think about their place in society? How—if at all—were they able to struggle against the social and cultural forces that constrained them? For this discussion, name one cultural, social, or economic force you think might have played a role in preventing women from achieving equal citizenship. Why do you think this prevented equal citizenship? How did it affect or operate on women? How do you think this force made it difficult for women to work toward their equal citizenship? Submit your responses to the appropriate Discussion Area . Start reviewing and responding to your peers’ posts as early in the module as possible. Expand on your classmates’ posts to critically engage in the discussion. You can ask a question, post a comment, or add a point to expand the discussion.

The final exam will be held Friday, Dec. 12. The exam will open at 12:01am and stay open until 11:59pm. You may begin the exam at any time during this period. Once you begin, you will have 110 minutes to complete the essay you have chosen to write. This exam is divided into projects. Four projects are listed below. You will complete ONE project. Students should review these projects, choose one, and carry out the exercise described before the time of the exam. The exam itself will be an on-line writing project. Professors teach by creating a rich atmosphere of opportunities for learning through lectures, class discussions, assignments, group activities, films, and readings. Exams are our opportunity to see how much you have made of these opportunities; that is, what things you have taken from the class and integrated into your repertoire of skills and models for thinking about, and acting in, the world. The final exam is your last opportunity to show me what you have learned in this class. Keep that objective front and foremost as you do the projects. Exam Project One: Multicultural Identities People with hyphenated identities (Asian-American, African-American, etc.) have a particularly tricky problem as they struggle to create identities that allow them to be full members of the communities in which they live (e.g. “American”) while recognizing that people ascribe to them heritage characteristics stemming from the place their ancestors lived (e.g. Asia, Africa) . This is particularly challenging for those whose communities of origin may be stereotyped by the host society, and those stereotypes may be expressed in public culture. New technologies create opportunities for people to discuss these issues with others as they seek to forge their identities. 1. Go to one of these blogs Angry Asian Man http://blog.angryasianman.com Reappropiatehttp://reappropriate.co/ Angry Little Asian Girl http://www.angrylittleasiangirl.com/ 2. Explore the site. Make sure to look at comments on the posts, not just the posts themselves. 3. If you like, post a few comments. See if you get responses. On exam day, write an essay answering the following questions: In writing about racism and representation of Asians and Asian-Americans, what kinds of identities does the blog construct? What kinds of representations does he characterize as racist and why? Are there representations on the web site that might be perceived as racist stereotypes in other contexts? What things can these Asian bloggers say that someone not Asian-American might not be able to? Exam Project Two: Design an Intercultural or Global Assignment Recently Miami University decided to adopt the AAC&U competencies as part of its system for assessing whether students are learning the skill sets they need for the 21st century. Two of these skill sets are global competency and intercultural competency. This course, Intercultural Relations, meets the standards for both. The competencies are as fol.

Assignment 2: Case of Anna O One of the very first cases that caught Freud’s attention when he was starting to develop his psychoanalytic theory was that of Anna O, a patient of fellow psychiatrist Josef Breuer. Although Freud did not directly treat her, he did thoroughly analyze her case as he was fascinated by the fact that her hysteria was “cured” by Breuer. It is her case that he believes was the beginning of the psychoanalytic approach. Through your analysis of this case, you will not only look deeper into Freud’s psychoanalytic theory but also see how Jung’s neo-psychoanalytic theory compares and contrasts with Freud’s theory. Review the following: The Case of Anna O. One of the first cases that inspired Freud in the development of what would eventually become the Psychoanalytic Theory was the case of Anna O. Anna O. was actually a patient of one of Freud’s colleagues Josef Breuer. Using Breuer’s case notes, Freud was able to analyze the key facts of Anna O’s case. Anna O. first developed her symptoms while she was taking care of her very ill father with whom she was extremely close. Some of her initial symptoms were loss of appetite to the extent of not eating, weakness, anemia, and development a severe nervous cough. Eventually she developed a severe optic headache and lost the ability to move her head, which then progressed into paralysis of both arms. Her symptoms were not solely physical as she would vacillate between a normal, mental state and a manic-type state in which she would become extremely agitated. There was even a notation of a time for which she hallucinated that the ribbons in her hair were snakes. Toward the end of her father’s life she stopped speaking her native language of German and instead only spoke in English. A little over a year after she began taking care of her father he passed away. After his passing her symptoms grew to affect her vision, a loss of ability to focus her attention, more extreme hallucinations, and a number of suicidal attempts (Hurst, 1982). Both Freud and Jung would acknowledge that unconscious processes are at work in this woman's problems. However, they would come to different conclusions about the origin of these problems and the method by which she should be treated. Research Freud’s and Jung’s theories of personality the Internet. Based on your research, respond to the following: Compare and contrast Freud's view of the unconscious with Jung's view and apply this case example in your explanations. On what specific points would they agree and disagree regarding the purpose and manifestation of the unconscious in the case of Anna? How might they each approach the treatment of Anna? What might be those specific interventions? How might Anna experience these interventions considering her history? Write a 3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: Hurst, L. C. (1982). What was wrong with Anna O? Journal .

Assignment 2: Comparing Modernist Approaches During the modernist period, you noticed a countercultural movement of romanticism and early existentialism. Explore the two major strands of early modernism – sensationalism and rationalism – along with the countercultural movement – romanticism and early existentialism. While British sensationalism also emerged during this period, it is more of a blending of sensationalism and rationalism. You’ll focus on the two more pure thought systems. You’ve noticed that the three groups – the sensationalists, the rationalists, and the romantics, have very different epistemologies. The sensationalists trusted the senses or sense experience to determine truth. While many of them also used reason to some degree, they placed a greater trust in the senses. The rationalists, while giving some credence to the senses, primarily trusted reason as the best guide to knowing truth. The romantics took a more phenomenological approach and placed greater emphasis on emotions in the process of determining how to live; they weren’t as concerned with the issue of truth. How do these epistemologies impact ethics and morals? Particularly with the romantics, you begin to notice there is a potential to separate ethics, or what is right, from values, or the individual’s ideals. What do you think is the significance of this separation? These three positions still do not dictate a view of human nature as fundamentally good or evil. There are variant positions within the perspectives. Discuss any implications you think exist for human nature in these perspectives. Finally, address the implications for therapy. Compare how you think these different philosophies would impact the way psychotherapy effectiveness should be determined. Be sure to support your conclusions with information drawn from the online content, the textbook, and other credible, scholarly sources to substantiate the points you are making. Submit your response to the M2: Assignment 2 Dropbox by Wednesday, November 30, 2016 . The paper should be 2-4 pages, double-spaced 12-point typescript, Times Roman font, with 1-inch margins all around, and free from grammatical errors.

Assignment 2: (RA 2): Cultural Influences in Development In this assignment, you will apply your knowledge of cultural influences on development to create psychosocial workshops for a specific population. Tasks: Scenario : As a human services administrator at a local agency, one of your duties is to write descriptions of the agency's community workshops to publish in the community's resource guide delivered free of charge to all residents. These are the titles of the workshops: Single Moms : A workshop for working mothers to help them balance work and home Community Living : A workshop for those transitioning from incarceration to society Caregiver Parents : A workshop for those taking care of aging parents, while also raising a young family Parenting Teens : A workshop to enable parents to help their teenage children transition to young adulthood Your community largely comprises blue-collar workers, many of whom are working on either visas or green cards; thus, there are pockets of immigrant communities. Some of the workers are those who were reintegrated into society after prolonged incarceration (more than three years). The median age of the area is thirty-five years, and multigenerational households are commonplace. The public school system is underresourced, and truancy is a big problem. Many students do not complete high school, and standardized test scores are well below what is federally mandated for funding. Directions : For each of the four workshops, write a 100- to 200-word description on the basis of the following: Utilize what you have learned throughout the course to describe specific services that each workshop will include. Tailor each description to the community and the target audience for the workshop. Apply cultural and multicultural sensitivity within and across all descriptions. Remember, a single mother may also read the description for community living. Craft your descriptions to be readable and sensitive to all. Account for individual differences and environmental contexts that will influence developmental changes. Account for the role of culture in shaping attitudes, values, and behaviors. For each description, write a two-page rationale. Use at least three references from scholarly sources to demonstrate how you determined which services to offer for each workshop. Submission Details: By Wednesday, April 13, 2016 , prepare a 6- to 8-page analysis paper. Your response should rely upon at least three sources from professional literature. This may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov). Write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., APA format); and use accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Save your paper in a Microsoft Word document with the name M4.

Assignment 1: Journal Entry: Intersection and Religious Discrimination When pieces of cloth are sewn together, you might have trouble discerning the individual pieces of cloth that make the final garment, but by looking carefully, you can find the seams. You may have experienced similar difficulty in the first week of this course when asked to explore the individual aspects of culture that combine to create your unique self-identity. Forms of oppression can come together often in almost imperceptible ways to form the complex environment in which you and your clients live and interact. As a social worker, you must examine carefully the intersections between religious discrimination, sexism, classism, and racism so you can respond accordingly. To prepare: Consider this week's resources that describe how religion intersects with other forms of oppression. Submit your response to those resources and analyze what you think is the role of religion in reinforcing sexism, classism, and racism. As a social worker, how can you address these issues on a micro and macro level? Assignment 2: Race, Empowerment, and Cultural Competence The ideas, attitudes, values, and beliefs with which people are surrounded as they grow up inform their perceptions about themselves and their place in the world. Family and religious systems are usually the first place that people get messages about themselves and others. Those messages can be positive and illustrate how important it is to embrace difference, or they can be full of hate and intolerance. For this Assignment, consider how your own ideas about race and ethnicity have been influenced by those around you. Submit a 2-page paper that answers the following question: How does your family and religious systems lead to your ideas about your own racial ethnic group as well as the racial and ethnic group of others? Be sure to address the concepts of ethnocentric practice, empowerment and cultural competence. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer.

Assignment 1: Assignment 2: Project Paper – Comparative Essay Due Week 8 and worth 200 points This “Assignment 2” writing assignment is a comparative essay focused on topics encountered in our HUM 111 class. The project will be based on research but will reflect your views and interpretation of the topic. This project is designed to help you stretch your mind and your abilities as an organized, innovative, and critical thinker. If approached properly, it should also be fun! Choose one (1) of the topics from the list of topic choices below. Read the topic carefully. Write a three to four (3-4) page paper (750-1,000 words) that follows instructions and covers each part of the topic. (The title page and References list do not get included in this word count). Note: Your instructor may require you to submit your topic choice for approval before the end of Week 5. For the topic you choose: Establish a clear thesis about your topic as part of the introductory paragraph (often the thesis is the last thing one determines after doing the basic research and outline; however it will be placed in the first paragraph of your paper). This is a comparative essay. Comparison approached properly will require some critical thinking on your part. Use a point-by-point approach for the essay. That means, if comparing subject A with subject B, don't do the first half of the essay on subject A and then the second half on subject B--that will seem like two (2) separate essays and comparisons will tend to get lost. Instead, you should be mentioning both subjects in most of your paragraphs as you compare them throughout the essay. Comparisons will identify similarities as well as contrasts. Do not try to do everything on your two (2) subjects. You should end up narrowing your focus to a few insights and issues about the subjects being compared. And, from those fairly specific points of comparison, you will develop a thesis and glean some lessons. Follow closely the instructions below for your specific topic. Include a concluding paragraph at the end. This paragraph will, in some way, refer back to the thesis established in your first paragraph, since now you have demonstrated and supported it. It may be here that you also include your observations relating your study to the modern workplace or society (see your topic). Try to finish with flair! Use at least three (3) good quality academic sources, with one (1) source being the class text. Note: Wikipedia and other similar Websites do not qualify as academic resources. You are highly encouraged to use the Resource Center tab at the top of your Blackboard page. Topic Choices – Choose just one (1) of the topics below: Qualities of the Hero: Comparing Gilgamesh and Odysseus . Write an essay comparing these two (2) heroic figures from ancient epics of different cultures, especially focusing your analysis on the sources about their encounters with monsters: Gilgamesh encounters the monster guarding the forest, Hum.
