Assignment 1 Discussion—Communicating Negative InformationAs you .docx
Assignment 1: Discussion—Communicating Negative Information
As you learned in the previous module, delivering bad news requires communicating honestly and directly, but also effectively. Communicating negative information or giving feedback to an employee is especially important for both the employee’s as well as the organization’s morale.
Review the following scenario:
Nancy Douglas is an assistant accountant for the hardware division of Crothwall and Associates—an IT company founded in 1997 and currently worth five billion dollars. The company conducts performance appraisals twice a year. Nancy has worked for the company for a year and a half and has received a B grade on her performance for both the appraisal cycles. After her second appraisal, Nancy had made a ten-thousand-dollar accounting mistake. Nancy takes an hour to commute to work and is a single parent. She has two children, ages three and six, and is on medication for insomnia.
Assume that you are an assistant HR manager at Crothwall and Associates. You need to inform Nancy that she has received a C grade on her performance after the third appraisal and this is her only opportunity to improve the quality of her work.
Based on your analysis of the scenario, the module readings, the online library resources, and the Internet, develop a scenario, including dialogue, for the conversation between you and Nancy in this situation. The scenario should be a properly worded communication and use communication etiquette effectively.
Be sure to give reasons for your assertions and support them with scholarly research.

Assignment 1 Discussion—Biomes, Development, Pollution, and YouEa.docx
Assignment 1: Discussion—Biomes, Development, Pollution, and You
Each part of the United States has at least one ecological crisis based on location, biome, and industrialization pattern. For example, the Midwest was once a prairie with very fertile soil. However, when people realized that with the right watering and drainage system this area could become productive farmland, there arose ecological problems. The conversion of the prairie to farmland is the root cause of many ecological problems in this region.
Regardless of what biome you consider, humans have likely had an impact on the ecology of that area.
For this assignment, identify the biome in which you live. The following are a few examples of biomes:
Tropical rainforests: This biome has high average temperatures, high moisture levels, and high species diversity.
Prairies: The prairies have grassland-variable temperatures, variable moisture levels—depending on proximity to mountain ranges—and are mainly dominated by grasses and ungulate herbivores.
Deserts: These biomes have hotter average temperatures, low moisture, lower species diversity, and a composition of species limited mainly to those that are adapted to hot temperatures.
Temperate forests: The temperate forests have variable temperatures, high moisture levels, and higher species diversity.
Taigas: These biomes have colder average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and lower species diversity.
Tundras: The tundras have cold average temperatures, low moisture levels, and low species diversity.
Coral reefs: These biomes have high average temperatures and high species diversity.
Open oceans: These biomes have a wide range of temperatures and species diversity varies.
Chaparrals: The chaparrals have higher average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and are dominated mainly by grasses and shrubs.
Alpines: These biomes have low average temperatures, low precipitation, and receive high ultraviolet (UV) rays due to high elevation.
Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, respond to the following:
Explain how humans have impacted the biome in which you live. List the types of environmental damage that have been caused and the species that have been impacted.
Describe the major pollution issues for your biome, and elaborate on the sources of this pollution.
List any species that have become extinct in this biome.
Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references.

Assignment 1 Discussion—A Life in ReviewIn late adulthood, most p.docx
Assignment 1: Discussion—A Life in Review
In late adulthood, most people engage in a process of life review. They recall their life histories and recount them to others as well. As people review the important events from their lives, they create a picture of their lives as an integrated whole. The last stage of Erikson’s theory is called ego integrity versus despair. As people complete their life reviews, they may feel a sense of integrity. This means they look back upon their lives with a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. Others may have a sense of despair. They often feel unfulfilled and have regret about choices they have made or events that have occurred.
Many people fear and dread the late adulthood stage of life because they believe what awaits them is ill health and cognitive decline. While that description fits some adults in later life, it certainly does not describe them all. Many older adults lead healthy, active lives and are closely connected to their families and communities.
Use your module readings and the Argosy University online library resources to research the process of life review.
Conduct your own life review and then respond to the following:
What do you look forward to about getting older?
What would you most like to look back on?
How do you view Erikson’s stage of integrity versus despair as it relates to your own life?
Support your arguments with research, citing sources.

Assignment 1: Discussion—Employee Impact on the Plan
An organization can come up with the best strategy but in order to execute and be effective/successful it takes human capital to implement. Employees (management and staff alike) need to be bought into any strategy and its proposed results—this can make or break a plan. Understanding organizational behavior is an important part of plan execution.
Using the module readings, the Internet, respond to the following for your own organization or an organization you know well:
What are the individual behaviors that you can observe that have the most dramatic impact on the organization’s performance (good or bad)?
What within the work setting drives these behaviors?
What are the implications of these behaviors for recruiting and training new employees?

This is how I typically sound in my writing...this can be used as a focal point for the discussion:
Organizational behavior (OB) is the study of individuals and their behavior within an organization. It is an interdisciplinary field that includes sociology, psychology, communication and management. (Cornell University Library Guides, 2011) Organizations are referred to as a group of people that share a common purpose within the same environment. Organizational behavior therefore refers to how groups of people behave within the organization due to the changes in culture with each stage of the business.
Power is the ability to make things happen, as you want them to through a person, team or organization. It can be getting anyone to do what you want done. However, influence is the possession of what you have when power is exercised. (Organizational Behavior, 2003)

Case Study Inside Intel. For years, Intel thrived on a business model that co-founder Andy Grove prefected and reinforced under his leadership and the leadership of his successor, Craig Barrett. But Intel's latest CEO, Paul Otellini has different plans. Rather than continuing to build faster chips just for PC computers, Otellini sees bigger opportunities in new "platforms." Otellini also wants to raise the profile of marketing, rather than let engineers determine what products are developed....... This Businessweek case study reviews the changes that Paul Otellini is introducing at Intel and explains how he is building momentum toward these changes (see page 465 in the textbook)......

Assignment 1: Discussion Questions
Case Study: How Failure Breeds Success
Coca-Cola Chairman and CEO E. Neville Isdell knows that the best companies embrace their mistakes and learn from them. That's why Isdell doesn't mind rhyming off the list of Coke's failures over the years. In fact, he is keen to convince employees and shareholders that he will tolerate the failures that will inevitably result from the bigger risks that he wants Coke to take.............(see page 91 in our assigned textbook).
This BusinessWeek case study describes several ways that companies learn from their mistakes while still maintaining a strong focus on performance and the bottom line. Read the full text of this article at

Assignment 1: Designing Compliance within the LAN-to-WAN Domain
Note: Review the page requirements and formatting instructions for this assignment closely. Graphically depicted solutions, as well as the standardized formatting requirements, do NOT count toward the overall page length.
Imagine you are an Information Systems Security Officer for a medium-sized financial services firm that has operations in four (4) states (Virginia, Florida, Arizona, and California). Due to the highly sensitive data created, stored, and transported by your organization, the CIO is concerned with implementing proper security controls for the LAN-to-WAN domain. Specifically, the CIO is concerned with the following areas:
· Protecting data privacy across the WAN
· Filtering undesirable network traffic from the Internet
· Filtering the traffic to the Internet that does not adhere to the organizational acceptable use policy (AUP) for the Web
· Having a zone that allows access for anonymous users but aggressively controls information exchange with internal resources
· Having an area designed to trap attackers in order to monitor attacker activities
· Allowing a means to monitor network traffic in real time as a means to identify and block unusual activity
· Hiding internal IP addresses
· Allowing operating system and application patch management
The CIO has tasked you with proposing a series of hardware and software controls designed to provide security for the LAN-to-WAN domain. The CIO anticipates receiving both a written report and diagram(s) to support your recommendations.
Write a three to five page paper in which you:
1. Use MS Visio or an open source equivalent to graphically depict a solution for the provided scenario that will:
a. filter undesirable network traffic from the Internet
b. filter Web traffic to the Internet that does not adhere to the organizational AUP for the Web
c. allow for a zone for anonymous users but aggressively controls information exchange with internal resources
d. allow for an area designed to trap attackers in order to monitor attacker activities
e. offer a means to monitor network traffic in real time as a means to identify and block unusual activity
f. hide internal IP addresses
2. Identify the fundamentals of public key infrastructure (PKI).
3. Describe the manner in which your solution will protect the privacy of data transmitted across the WAN.
4. Analyze the requirements necessary to allow for proper operating system and application patch management and describe a solution that would be effective.
5. Use at least three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Assignment 1 Cultural ContextsHow Race, Class, Gender, and Sexual.docx
Assignment 1: Cultural Contexts
How Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality Resonate Beyond the Novel
The Awakening
was published in 1899, and the plot focuses on several months in the life of Edna Pontieller, a 28-year-old mother of two. As modern-day readers we may not entirely identify with the strict societal expectations of both men and women at that time, yet the theme of self-fulfillment still resonates today. Chopin introduces us to a few key characters who are influential in Edna’s evolution from a traditional mother and wife to a woman who decisively frees herself from a mortal life of “bondage” (i.e. marriage and motherhood).
The novel touches on many social issues, including motherhood, sexuality, socioeconomic differences, marriage, and suicide. Struggles similar to Edna’s thirst for independence, identity, and freedom are also explored in contemporary media. Here are a few film examples of female characters in untraditional roles, and/or characters addressing controversial issues in an effort to find freedom:
Motherhood, Marriage, and Family
A Doll’s House
;
The Scarlet Letter
;
He Said, She Said
;
Muriel’s Wedding
;
The Age of Innocence
;
Erin Brockovich
; and
Mermaids
Sexuality
The Color Purple, The Piano, Frida, Fried Green Tomatoes, She’s Gotta Have It, Out of Africa, Heavenly Creatures, How Stella Got Her Groove Back,
and
The Crying Game
Socioeconomic/Racial Differences
The Long Walk Home, Jungle Fever,

and

Suicide
The Virgin Suicides, Dead Poet’s Society,
The Hours, The Shawshank Redemption, What Dreams May Come, Romeo and Juliet, Full Metal Jacket, The Happening, White Oleander, Seven Pounds, Thelma and Louise,
and
Girl, Interrupted
Independence, Identity and Empowerment
A League of Their Own, Thelma and Louise, Waiting to Exhale,
Bend It Like Beckham,The Wizard of Oz, Norma Rae, Silkwood,
If These Walls Could Talk,
and
Fargo
For this assignment, compare and contrast the way one social issue is portrayed in the novel
The Awakening
with the way it is portrayed in one or two of the above-mentioned films or another film that speaks to you in an important way in relation to Chopin’s work.
For example, you could examine Edna’s suicide in contrast to Brooks’s suicide in
The Shawshank Redemption
. Brooks was finally released after over 40 years in prison, but he could not cope in a world that had progressed without him. Brooks could not live
without
rules and structure. His need for the assurance of a strict system of rules is illustrated when Brooks continually asks the manager in his new job if he can be excused for a bathroom break. In contrast, Edna finds that she cannot live
with
rules and societal “structure” in a marriage she finds constricting. In your analysis, you might conclude that while both characters ultimately chose similar fates, Brooks’s fate was based upon the fear of living

Assignment 1 Cultural CompetenceAs with all areas of the social.docx
Assignment 1: Cultural Competence
As with all areas of the social work process, cultural competence is essential when engaging and assessing a child’s concerns. Being culturally competent includes understanding the unique needs of your client and asking how those needs can be fulfilled. Using an empowerment perspective treating clients as experts on their lives and their needs is essential. Not only does this establish your commitment to being culturally sensitive and aware, but it will enhance the therapeutic relationship. While it is essential to learn and master social work skills and techniques to be a successful practitioner, another significant indicator of a successful intervention is the relationship a social worker builds with his or her client. Some research suggests that the quality of the therapeutic relationship will account for 30% of the clinical outcome of the treatment (Miller, Duncan, and Hubble, 2005, as stated in Walsh, 2010, p. 7). Exhibiting a dedication to learning about a client’s culture, history, and current environmental factors exemplifies a social worker’s desire to build that client–worker bond.
For this Assignment, read the case study for Claudia (in attachments) and find two to three scholarly articles on social issues surrounding immigrant families.
In a 3 page paper, explain how the literature informs you about Claudia and her family when assessing her situation.
· Describe two social issues related to the course-specific case study for Claudia that inform a culturally competent social worker.
· Describe culturally competent strategies you might use to assess the needs of children.
· Describe the types of data you would collect from Claudia and her family in order to best serve them.
· Identify other resources that may offer you further information about Claudia’s case.
· Create an eco-map to represent Claudia’s situation. Describe how the ecological perspective of assessment influenced how the social worker interacted with Claudia.
· Describe how the social worker in the case used a strengths perspective and multiple tools in her assessment of Claudia. Explain how those factors contributed to the therapeutic relationship with Claudia and her family.
Support your Assignment with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.
Assignment 2: Application of Attachment Theory to a Case Study
As you have read, theory guides the conceptualization of the client’s problem and how social workers assess and intervene relative to the problem. However, theory can also shape the self-reflective questions social workers ask themselves. Clients often come to social workers under stress or distress. This then affects how the social worker responds and thus the client-social worker relationship. As a result, Foley, Nash, and Munford (2009) employed attachment theory as a “lens in which to view the reflective process itself and to gain greater understanding and empathy for wh.

line exposed right here, not a promise, that “in this paper, I will describe….” NO! They want to

Shortly after the CNO (Chief Nurse Officer) completed her annual performance appraisal and salary evaluations, as required by the Joint Commission; you are confronted by a minority female RN that claims that her wages are substantially less than her male RN counterpart who is performing the exact same job in the oncology department. She feels as if she is being discriminated against. You realize you have no procedures in place to address these issues. Although minorities continue to be underrepresented within the healthcare workforce, your healthcare systems has continued to diversify with an increased number of ethnic and racial employees. You are aware that minorities and women will continue to comprise the highest percentage of new entrants into the labor force. You also notice that this is a pattern as this is the fourth employee that has confronted you with an issue regarding diversity (i.e. specifically differences in racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds) in the last six weeks from the oncology department.

Assignment 1 Conformity and Social InfluenceHow do reasonable p.docx
Assignment 1: Conformity and Social Influence
How do reasonable people go along with unreasonable ideas, including mass suicide? How do charismatic leaders create their own “culture” within a specific situation and setting and then bring followers along? It is unsettling to consider that researchers have found that almost anyone will obey orders if placed in the right situation.
For this Assignment, you will explore the role of conformity and social influence in the dynamics of a cult. Keep in mind the definition of “culture” as you examine how a powerful leader can create a distinct culture, or “cult,” that others join and follow: a set of attitudes, behaviors, and symbols shared by a large group of people (Shiraev & Levy, 2017, p. 4) .
To prepare:
Review the sections in Chapter 10 of your course text, beginning with “Universal Interaction” (p. 301), and pay particular attention to the content on conformity, obedience, leadership, and social power.
Your Week 5 Learning Resources provide information on three different cults and their leaders in recent U.S. history: Jim Jones and the People’s Temple, David Koresh and the Branch Davidians, and Marshall Applewhite and Heaven’s Gate. You are encouraged to choose one as the focus of your Assignment. Additional Learning Resources provide insights on the dynamics of a cult.
Note:
If you prefer to choose a different leader and group, check with your instructor first for approval.
For your focus leader, review and analyze the Module 5 Learning Resources provided and additional resources you find in the Walden Library or in other sources, including reputable websites, to complete this Assignment.
For your focus leader and group, think about how each may exemplify the concepts of conformity, obedience, and social power:
How the leader builds a “culture” with its own rules outside of the larger culture
What elements compel followers to conform, such as charisma, isolation, and/or fear
Use the Learning Resources provided and those you find to analyze your leader and followers as an example of a situational development of a “culture” through conformity, obedience, and social power.
By Day 7
Submit
a 2 - to 3-page research paper in which you do the following:
Describe the leader and followers who are the subject of your analysis.
Analyze how the leader created a distinct “culture” for followers and what elements of a culture were present in the setting.
Analyze how the leader used social power to influence followers.
Analyze elements that created conformity and obedience among the followers.
Explain how your chosen leader’s use of social influence applies to the leaders in your culture (e.g., local, academic, political, or other types of leaders you identify).
Note:
Support the responses within your Assignment with evidence from the assigned Learning Resources and those you found. Provide a reference list for resources you used for this Assignment.

Assignment 1: Discussion—Employee Impact on the Plan
An organization can come up with the best strategy but in order to execute and be effective/successful it takes human capital to implement. Employees (management and staff alike) need to be bought into any strategy and its proposed results—this can make or break a plan. Understanding organizational behavior is an important part of plan execution.
Using the module readings, the Internet, respond to the following for your own organization or an organization you know well:
What are the individual behaviors that you can observe that have the most dramatic impact on the organization’s performance (good or bad)?
What within the work setting drives these behaviors?
What are the implications of these behaviors for recruiting and training new employees?
Write your initial response in approximately 300 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Organizational behavior (OB) is the study of individuals and their behavior within an organization. It is an interdisciplinary field that includes sociology, psychology, communication and management. (Cornell University Library Guides, 2011) Organizations are referred to as a group of people that share a common purpose within the same environment. Organizational behavior therefore refers to how groups of people behave within the organization due to the changes in culture with each stage of the business.
Power is the ability to make things happen, as you want them to through a person, team or organization. It can be getting anyone to do what you want done. However, influence is the possession of what you have when power is exercised. (Organizational Behavior, 2003)

Assignment 1: Discussion Question
To extend its international presence, Martinetti International has formed an expansion strategy focused on acquiring other like enterprises outside the European region. Martinetti, a subsidiary of a publicly owned parent company, is based in Rome where it enjoys an established brand name and superb reputation. As part of Martinetti’s globalization strategy, it has acquired Sand Coast Resort Group located in the heart of Chinatown, Singapore. Both hotel enterprises share common business values and excellent reputations, and offer high-end luxury accommodations for the local businessman and international traveler. The acquisition offers Martinetti ownership of the Sand Coast brand, trademarks, and contracts for the 9 Sand Coast hotel holdings. With this acquisition, Martinetti gains a footprint in Southeast Asia and expands its holdings 27 percent. Sand Coast has strong brand recognition in the region and has a portfolio that includes both hospitality services and travel agencies. Martinetti, a cross-culture organization, is comprised of approximately 65 percent Italian employees with the remaining representing 7 other countries and languages. San Coast also has a cross-cultural workforce with 88 percent being Singaporean of Chinese, Malay, and Indian ethnicity. Chinese is the official language.
As a member of the Martinetti management team, you have been selected to meet with the Sand Coast Resort leadership team to discuss Martinetti’s approach to market the acquisition in both countries. Your task is to convince the Sand Coast team that Martinelli has a sound strategic communications plan.

Assignment 1 Discussion QuestionsCase Study Inside Intel. For y.docx
Assignment 1: Discussion Questions
Case Study Inside Intel. For years, Intel thrived on a business model that co-founder Andy Grove prefected and reinforced under his leadership and the leadership of his successor, Craig Barrett. But Intel's latest CEO, Paul Otellini has different plans. Rather than continuing to build faster chips just for PC computers, Otellini sees bigger opportunities in new "platforms." Otellini also wants to raise the profile of marketing, rather than let engineers determine what products are developed....... This Businessweek case study reviews the changes that Paul Otellini is introducing at Intel and explains how he is building momentum toward these changes (see page 465 in the textbook)......

Case Study: How Failure Breeds Success
Coca-Cola Chairman and CEO E. Neville Isdell knows that the best companies embrace their mistakes and learn from them. That's why Isdell doesn't mind rhyming off the list of Coke's failures over the years. In fact, he is keen to convince employees and shareholders that he will tolerate the failures that will inevitably result from the bigger risks that he wants Coke to take.............(see page 91 in our assigned textbook).

Assignment 1: Designing Compliance within the LAN-to-WAN Domain
Note: Review the page requirements and formatting instructions for this assignment closely. Graphically depicted solutions, as well as the standardized formatting requirements, do NOT count toward the overall page length.
Imagine you are an Information Systems Security Officer for a medium-sized financial services firm that has operations in four (4) states (Virginia, Florida, Arizona, and California). Due to the highly sensitive data created, stored, and transported by your organization, the CIO is concerned with implementing proper security controls for the LAN-to-WAN domain. Specifically, the CIO is concerned with the following areas:
· Protecting data privacy across the WAN
· Filtering undesirable network traffic from the Internet
· Filtering the traffic to the Internet that does not adhere to the organizational acceptable use policy (AUP) for the Web
· Having a zone that allows access for anonymous users but aggressively controls information exchange with internal resources
· Having an area designed to trap attackers in order to monitor attacker activities
· Allowing a means to monitor network traffic in real time as a means to identify and block unusual activity
· Hiding internal IP addresses
· Allowing operating system and application patch management
The CIO has tasked you with proposing a series of hardware and software controls designed to provide security for the LAN-to-WAN domain. The CIO anticipates receiving both a written report and diagram(s) to support your recommendations.
Write a three to five page paper in which you:
1. Use MS Visio or an open source equivalent to graphically depict a solution for the provided scenario that will:
a. filter undesirable network traffic from the Internet
b. filter Web traffic to the Internet that does not adhere to the organizational AUP for the Web
c. allow for a zone for anonymous users but aggressively controls information exchange with internal resources
d. allow for an area designed to trap attackers in order to monitor attacker activities
e. offer a means to monitor network traffic in real time as a means to identify and block unusual activity
f. hide internal IP addresses
2. Identify the fundamentals of public key infrastructure (PKI).
3. Describe the manner in which your solution will protect the privacy of data transmitted across the WAN.
4. Analyze the requirements necessary to allow for proper operating system and application patch management and describe a solution that would be effective.
5. Use at least three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Assignment 1 Cultural ContextsHow Race, Class, Gender, and Sexual.docx
Assignment 1: Cultural Contexts
How Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality Resonate Beyond the Novel
The Awakening
was published in 1899, and the plot focuses on several months in the life of Edna Pontieller, a 28-year-old mother of two. As modern-day readers we may not entirely identify with the strict societal expectations of both men and women at that time, yet the theme of self-fulfillment still resonates today. Chopin introduces us to a few key characters who are influential in Edna’s evolution from a traditional mother and wife to a woman who decisively frees herself from a mortal life of “bondage” (i.e. marriage and motherhood).
The novel touches on many social issues, including motherhood, sexuality, socioeconomic differences, marriage, and suicide. Struggles similar to Edna’s thirst for independence, identity, and freedom are also explored in contemporary media. Here are a few film examples of female characters in untraditional roles, and/or characters addressing controversial issues in an effort to find freedom:
Motherhood, Marriage, and Family
A Doll’s House
;
The Scarlet Letter
;
He Said, She Said
;
Muriel’s Wedding
;
The Age of Innocence
;
Erin Brockovich
; and
Mermaids
Sexuality
The Color Purple, The Piano, Frida, Fried Green Tomatoes, She’s Gotta Have It, Out of Africa, Heavenly Creatures, How Stella Got Her Groove Back,
and

A League of Their Own, Thelma and Louise, Waiting to Exhale,
Bend It Like Beckham,The Wizard of Oz, Norma Rae, Silkwood,

and
Fargo
For this assignment, compare and contrast the way one social issue is portrayed in the novel
The Awakening
with the way it is portrayed in one or two of the above-mentioned films or another film that speaks to you in an important way in relation to Chopin’s work.
For example, you could examine Edna’s suicide in contrast to Brooks’s suicide in
The Shawshank Redemption
. Brooks was finally released after over 40 years in prison, but he could not cope in a world that had progressed without him. Brooks could not live
without
rules and structure. His need for the assurance of a strict system of rules is illustrated when Brooks continually asks the manager in his new job if he can be excused for a bathroom break. In contrast, Edna finds that she cannot live
with
rules and societal “structure” in a marriage she finds constricting. In your analysis, you might conclude that while both characters ultimately chose similar fates, Brooks’s fate was based upon the fear of living

Assignment 1 Cultural CompetenceAs with all areas of the social.docx
Assignment 1: Cultural Competence
As with all areas of the social work process, cultural competence is essential when engaging and assessing a child’s concerns. Being culturally competent includes understanding the unique needs of your client and asking how those needs can be fulfilled. Using an empowerment perspective treating clients as experts on their lives and their needs is essential. Not only does this establish your commitment to being culturally sensitive and aware, but it will enhance the therapeutic relationship. While it is essential to learn and master social work skills and techniques to be a successful practitioner, another significant indicator of a successful intervention is the relationship a social worker builds with his or her client. Some research suggests that the quality of the therapeutic relationship will account for 30% of the clinical outcome of the treatment (Miller, Duncan, and Hubble, 2005, as stated in Walsh, 2010, p. 7). Exhibiting a dedication to learning about a client’s culture, history, and current environmental factors exemplifies a social worker’s desire to build that client–worker bond.
For this Assignment, read the case study for Claudia (in attachments) and find two to three scholarly articles on social issues surrounding immigrant families.
In a 3 page paper, explain how the literature informs you about Claudia and her family when assessing her situation.
· Describe two social issues related to the course-specific case study for Claudia that inform a culturally competent social worker.
· Describe culturally competent strategies you might use to assess the needs of children.
· Describe the types of data you would collect from Claudia and her family in order to best serve them.
· Identify other resources that may offer you further information about Claudia’s case.
· Create an eco-map to represent Claudia’s situation. Describe how the ecological perspective of assessment influenced how the social worker interacted with Claudia.
· Describe how the social worker in the case used a strengths perspective and multiple tools in her assessment of Claudia. Explain how those factors contributed to the therapeutic relationship with Claudia and her family.
Support your Assignment with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.
Assignment 2: Application of Attachment Theory to a Case Study
As you have read, theory guides the conceptualization of the client’s problem and how social workers assess and intervene relative to the problem. However, theory can also shape the self-reflective questions social workers ask themselves. Clients often come to social workers under stress or distress. This then affects how the social worker responds and thus the client-social worker relationship. As a result, Foley, Nash, and Munford (2009) employed attachment theory as a “lens in which to view the reflective process itself and to gain greater understanding and empathy for wh.

Assignment 1: Create a Diversity Office
Shortly after the CNO (Chief Nurse Officer) completed her annual performance appraisal and salary evaluations, as required by the Joint Commission; you are confronted by a minority female RN that claims that her wages are substantially less than her male RN counterpart who is performing the exact same job in the oncology department. She feels as if she is being discriminated against. You realize you have no procedures in place to address these issues. Although minorities continue to be underrepresented within the healthcare workforce, your healthcare systems has continued to diversify with an increased number of ethnic and racial employees. You are aware that minorities and women will continue to comprise the highest percentage of new entrants into the labor force. You also notice that this is a pattern as this is the fourth employee that has confronted you with an issue regarding diversity (i.e. specifically differences in racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds) in the last six weeks from the oncology department.

Assignment 1 Conformity and Social InfluenceHow do reasonable p.docx
Assignment 1: Conformity and Social Influence
How do reasonable people go along with unreasonable ideas, including mass suicide? How do charismatic leaders create their own “culture” within a specific situation and setting and then bring followers along? It is unsettling to consider that researchers have found that almost anyone will obey orders if placed in the right situation.
For this Assignment, you will explore the role of conformity and social influence in the dynamics of a cult. Keep in mind the definition of “culture” as you examine how a powerful leader can create a distinct culture, or “cult,” that others join and follow: a set of attitudes, behaviors, and symbols shared by a large group of people (Shiraev & Levy, 2017, p. 4) .
To prepare:
Review the sections in Chapter 10 of your course text, beginning with “Universal Interaction” (p. 301), and pay particular attention to the content on conformity, obedience, leadership, and social power.
Your Week 5 Learning Resources provide information on three different cults and their leaders in recent U.S. history: Jim Jones and the People’s Temple, David Koresh and the Branch Davidians, and Marshall Applewhite and Heaven’s Gate. You are encouraged to choose one as the focus of your Assignment. Additional Learning Resources provide insights on the dynamics of a cult.
Note:
If you prefer to choose a different leader and group, check with your instructor first for approval.
For your focus leader, review and analyze the Module 5 Learning Resources provided and additional resources you find in the Walden Library or in other sources, including reputable websites, to complete this Assignment.
For your focus leader and group, think about how each may exemplify the concepts of conformity, obedience, and social power:
How the leader builds a “culture” with its own rules outside of the larger culture
What elements compel followers to conform, such as charisma, isolation, and/or fear
Use the Learning Resources provided and those you find to analyze your leader and followers as an example of a situational development of a “culture” through conformity, obedience, and social power.
By Day 7
Submit
a 2 - to 3-page research paper in which you do the following:
Describe the leader and followers who are the subject of your analysis.
Analyze how the leader created a distinct “culture” for followers and what elements of a culture were present in the setting.
Analyze how the leader used social power to influence followers.
Analyze elements that created conformity and obedience among the followers.
Explain how your chosen leader’s use of social influence applies to the leaders in your culture (e.g., local, academic, political, or other types of leaders you identify).
Note:
Support the responses within your Assignment with evidence from the assigned Learning Resources and those you found. Provide a reference list for resources you used for this Assignment.
