The document discusses three core concepts for human and social services professions: social change, leadership, and advocacy. Social change involves correcting injustices in society. Leadership means guiding social and professional reform. Advocacy is promoting or backing such reform. As these concepts are key to human services work, the document calls for further exploring their meanings and similarities and differences.

Three core concepts are relevant to members of human and social serv
Three core concepts are relevant to members of human and social services professions: social change, leadership, and advocacy. Broadly speaking,
social change
has to do with righting the wrongs in society;
leadership
means being a guiding force in fostering social and professional change; and
advocacy
refers to sponsoring or promoting such change. Because these concepts are intrinsic to human services professionals, it is imperative to explore each of these core concepts more deeply, evaluate their meanings, and consider how they are alike and different.
To prepare:
Review this week’s Learning Resources. Think about similarities and differences among the concepts of social change, leadership, and advocacy.
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 3
Post
a brief explanation of two similarities and two differences between each pair of concepts (i.e., social change vs. leadership, social change vs. advocacy, and leadership vs. advocacy). Provide examples to illustrate your points. Then, explain 2–3 conclusions you drew or insights you had as a result of doing the comparison.

Generalist Practice Study Notes
The document discusses generalist social work practice and the different perspectives and discourses within social work. It argues that social work knowledge is socially constructed through three interacting arenas: 1) the political-social-ideological arena which influences policy, 2) the agency-professional arena which determines how social work is implemented, and 3) the client-worker-agency arena where practice is enacted. An effective social work approach requires being eclectic in using ideas from different theories, while practicing critical thinking and reflexivity.
The foundation of the social work profession is rooted in two levels.docx
The foundation of the social work profession is rooted in two levels of social assessment and reform. One is the individual, or micro, approach, which examines the needs of the individual living in poverty and explores how trained social work professionals could assist the individual in overcoming barriers to economic self-sufficiency. The other approach, which occurs simultaneously, is a macro, or larger environment, approach. This approach identifies and influences changes in the larger systems (education, economic, etc.) to improve self-sufficiency. The social work profession incorporates both approaches and trains professionals to intervene effectively at both levels of practice.
For this Discussion,
review this week’s resources. Then, reflect on the dichotomy between micro and macro practice. Next, think about how micro practice has come to dominate the social work profession.
By Day 4
Post
an explanation of “the dichotomy between micro and macro” practice. Then, describe how micro practice has come to dominate the social work profession.

4. Core Theories of Social Work.pptx
The document discusses various aspects of social work theory, including:
1. Social work theory can be used to guide observation, description, explanation, prediction, and intervention in social work practice. Understanding theory is important for accountability, avoiding discrimination, and making sense of complexity.
2. There are different types of social work theory, including theories about social work, theories of social work, theories contributing to social work, and theories of social work practice.
3. Teaching social work students about theories helps provide a framework for understanding human behavior and social problems, different approaches to social work practice, and the role and purpose of social work in society. However, some argue that social work is also an intuitive practice informed
Theories of social work — presentation transcript
Theories are important for social workers for several reasons. Theories can help social workers
understand clients and situations, guide practice through providing frameworks and models, and
explain human behavior and how change can be facilitated. There are different types of theories
relevant to social work, including theories about the profession itself, theories from other disciplines
applied to social work, and practice theories that provide guidance on working with clients. While
some argue that social work is more of an intuitive practice learned through experience, most agree
that theories help social workers work in a more informed, accountable, and professional manner.
Theoriesofsocialwork 100813071026-phpapp02
This document discusses theories in social work and their importance. It makes the following key points:
1. Theories help social workers understand human behavior and social problems, as well as guide effective practice interventions. They provide frameworks to make sense of issues and assess options.
2. There are different types of theories relevant to social work, from macro theories of society to micro theories of individual behavior. Theories can explain behavior, structure practice, and conceptualize the client's world.
3. Teaching theories to social workers is important for refining practice, advancing knowledge, and building upon practice experience. Theories need to be selected and taught rationally and coherently to provide useful insights for social work.

Theoriesofsocialworkpresentationtranscript 121022143358-phpapp01
This document discusses the importance and uses of theory in social work. It provides definitions of key terms like theories of social work, theories for social work, and orienting theories. Theories help social workers by providing descriptions and explanations of human behavior, the social environment, and how change occurs. They guide observation, description, explanation, intervention, and prediction. While some argue that social work is more of an intuitive practice learned through experience, the document supports the idea that theories teach social workers to see people's resources rather than just problems, making practice more professional and efficient when used along with intuition.

Discussion 1: Treatment Evaluation
Many social work students dread taking research classes. They often view the courses as unnecessary to be a good social worker when, in fact, the opposite is true. How do you really know that your interventions are working, unless you evaluate them? As a social worker it is essential to identify in a quantifiable manner whether a treatment is helping the client or if it needs to be abandoned for another approach. In the past, social workers depended on recognizing a client’s progress through their own observations. Today, with a significant push both in the field of social work and among insurance companies to provide evidenced-based practice, social workers now are expected, more than ever, to evaluate their practice. Selecting the proper measurement/evaluation tool, based on the clients’ presenting concerns and treatment goals, will provide the evidence-based practice that is expected by the field.
For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources, including the course-specific case studies. Select either Abdel or Pedro from the course-specific case studies provided and search the Mental Measures Yearbook database to identify potential scales that could be used to evaluate the treatment. Select one of the scales you identified and consider why it might be useful in evaluating treatment. Finally, think about the validity and reliability of that scale.
Note: The course-specific case study you select should differ from the case study you selected in Week 6.
Post by Day 3 a description of the scale you might use to evaluate treatment for the client in the case study you selected and explain why you selected that scale. Be sure to reference the case study you selected in your post. Finally, explain the validity and reliability of that scale.
Support your posts and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

Discussion 2: Management of Planned and Unplanned Termination
Ending a client relationship can be just as difficult as ending a personal relationship. In fact, while much of the literature addresses when to terminate, a more significant topic is the feelings that surround termination. Depending on the client and the length of treatment, saying goodbye can be hard for both of you. As a result, you should prepare for termination and the feelings surrounding this step of the GIM process early in the client-social worker relationship.
While you generally anticipate that successful treatment will lead to the eventual termination of the client relationship, there are a variety of other reasons for why this relationship might come to an end. There might be a set number of sessions the client’s insurance will allow, or maybe the end of your intern.

In this week’s Discussion, you thought about democracy in the workpl.docx
In this week’s Discussion, you thought about democracy in the workplace. For this Assignment, you will consider how democratic principles in the workplace are related to and might be promoted by diversity. Diversity has different meanings; the particular meaning held by an organization may shape that organization in a variety of ways. Most organizations profess to value diversity in the workforce, and employers view the variety of talents and ideas that a diverse labor pool brings to the job as an economic asset. Diversity may, however, produce more than just economic benefits for an organization. One way to better understand diversity is to think about which aspects of diversity are related to democratic principles. Another way to approach diversity is to look at which democratic principles are promoted in your own organization through diversity. As you consider the concept of diversity, take note of underlying aspects that may advance democracy in the workplace.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review the article “A Contingency Approach to Representative Bureaucracy: Power, Equal Opportunities and Diversity” in this week’s Learning Resources. Think about the link between diversity and representative bureaucracy in the workplace.
Review the article “The Ideal of Diversity in Organizations” in this week’s Learning Resources.
Consider strategies for advancing diversity in the workplace. Pay particular attention to matters such as individual difference and equality as they relate to diversity in the workplace.
Reflect on basic democratic principles and consider how they are related to diversity.
Select at least two democratic principles that you think are promoted by diversity in the workplace and think about how diversity might or does promote them.
The Assignment (1–2 pages):
Briefly describe the democratic principles that you selected.
Explain how diversity relates to and promotes the democratic principles you selected.
Based on your analysis, share insights and draw conclusions about how diversity relates to and promotes democratic principles in the workplace.

Leadership Styles and The Tribe
Modular Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this module, the student will be able to satisfy the following outcomes:
•Case ◦Compare transformational leadership to non-leadership (laissez-faire).
•SLP ◦Explore and discuss the impact of a transactional leadership environment on the tribal stage of an organization.
•Discussion ◦Apply the situational leadership style to tribal leadership.
◦Discuss the benefits and/or drawbacks of using situational leadership to increase an organization’s tribal stage to the next level.
◦Apply the non-leadership factor (laissez-faire) to tribal leadership.
◦Determine whether a non-leadership style (laissez-faire) impacts an organization’s tribal leadership stage negatively or positively.
Module Overview
We are at the half-way point in the course, and it is time to change gears from traits and skills; but we will continue to apply all the concepts we are studying to tribal leadership.
For Module 3, we will focus on leadership styles, including situational leadership, transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and even non-leadership (laissez-faire).
By now, the different parts of leadership theory we have studied will start to form the basis for strategic leadership decisions, especially as they apply to tribal leadership. With a large chunk of key leadership theories under our belt, we should have no trouble beginning to discern which approaches are best in certain situations and scenarios.
Module 3 - Background
Leadership Styles and The Tribe
Style Approach
Around the same time that Katz (1955) was questioning the trait theory of leadership in favor of a more skills-based approach, Stogdill (1948) was also looking for a better model to define what makes a leader. We discussed Stogdill’s work in Module 1 (his discovery that “…the traits of leaders around the world were not distinct from the traits of non-leaders”). As we discussed, this led him to explore characteristics beyond innate traits.
As the style approach was coming into focus, several important studies were conducted to learn more about “what leaders do and how they act” (Northouse, 2018, p. 69). What leaders do is classified as task behaviors, while how leaders act is classified as relationship behaviors. Among those important studies were the Ohio State Studies, which focused on the way leaders acted when they were leading, and the University of Michigan Studies, which focused on “the impact of leaders’ behaviors on the performance of small groups” (Northouse, 2018, p. 71). While both of these studies are critical parts of understanding leadership, they are covered heavily in elementary leadership studies, and will not be further explored in the context of strategic leadership. Instead, we will move on to the prevalent style-based theories that took hold as a result of these studies and the work of Stogdill and Katz (1948; 1955).

The best Careers in Sociology updated 2023 doc 8.docx
Careers in sociology
offer a wide range of opportunities for individuals interested in studying and understanding human society and social behavior. Here is a discussion on the various career paths within sociology:
Research and Academia: Many sociologists pursue careers in research and academia. They work as professors, researchers, and scholars in universities, colleges, and research institutions. They conduct research, publish academic papers, and contribute to the knowledge and understanding of sociological theories and concepts.
Applied Sociology: Applied sociologists utilize their knowledge and skills to address social issues and provide practical solutions. They work in diverse settings such as government agencies, non-profit organizations, consulting firms, and social service agencies. Applied sociologists may focus on areas like community development, social policy, program evaluation, or social advocacy.
Social Services and Human Resources: Sociologists can find rewarding careers in social services and human resources sectors. They work in roles such as social workers, counselors, program managers, or human resource specialists. Sociological knowledge helps them understand the dynamics of social problems, develop intervention strategies, and create inclusive and equitable workplaces.
Market Research and Data Analysis: Sociologists with expertise in research methods and data analysis can find opportunities in market research firms and organizations. They conduct consumer research, analyze data, and provide insights into consumer behavior, social trends, and market dynamics. Their sociological perspective helps in understanding the social factors that shape consumer choices and preferences.
Policy Analysis and Advocacy: Sociologists can contribute to policy development and advocacy work. They analyze social issues, evaluate policy effectiveness, and make recommendations for social change. Sociologists working in this field often collaborate with government agencies, think tanks, advocacy groups, and public policy organizations.
Critical Process Assignment TV and the State ofStorytelling
Critical Process Assignment: TV and the State of
Storytelling
The rise of the reality program over the past decade has more to do with the cheaper cost of this
genre than with the wild popularity of these programs. In fact, the history of television and
viewer numbers, traditional sitcoms and dramas--and even prime-time news programs like 60
Minutes and 20/20--have been far more popular than successful reality programs like American
Idol. But when national broadcast TV executives cut costs by reducing writing and production
staffs and hiring “regular people” instead of trained actors, does the craft of storytelling suffer at
the expense of commercial savings? Can good stories be told in a reality program? In this
exercise, let’s compare the storytelling competence of a reality program with that of a more
traditional comedy sitcom or drama.
Directions
Be sure to address separately each stage of the critical process. The description section can be
partially in list form, but the other sections of the assignment need to be in paragraph form. You
should strive to write a solid paragraph or two for each step of the critical process. These papers
do not need to have a traditional introduction or conclusion. Instead you can number each section
of your paper as each step of the critical process.
Please upload this assignment to Google Classroom!
1. Description
Pick a current reality program and a current sitcom or drama. Choose programs that either started
in the last year or two or have been on television for roughly the same period of time. Now
develop a “viewing sheet” that allows you to take notes as you watch 3 or 4 episodes of the two
programs. Keep track of main characters, plotlines, settlings, conflicts, and resolutions. Also
track the main problems that are posed in the programs and how they are portrayed or worked
out in each episode. Find out and compare the basic production costs of each program.
2. Analysis
Look for patterns and differences in the ways stories are told in the two programs. At a general
level, what are the conflicts about? (For example, are they about men versus women, managers
versus employees, tradition versus change, individuals versus institutions, honesty versus
dishonesty, authenticity versus artificiality?). How complicated or simple are the tensions in the
two programs, and how are problems resolved? Are there some conflicts that you feel should not
be permitted-- like pitting older contestants against younger contestants or white against black?
Are there noticeable differences between “the look” of one program and that of the other?
3. Interpretation
What do some of the patterns mean? What seems to be the point of each program? What do the
programs say about relationships, values, masculinity or femininity, power, social class, and so
on? What is the value of each program for its viewers?
4. Evaluation
What are the strengths and weaknesses of each program? Which program would you judge as

You Are Defining and Defined by Social Responsibility
The first observation of a social issue can be confusing for a young person. Noticing extremes of wealth and poverty from one neighborhood to the next—or from one country to another—or hearing statistics related to literacy and school dropout rates in developed countries can be shocking. While growing up, how did your community of family, friends, and teachers respond to social disparities? Were they ignored or confronted? Did you perceive a sense of helplessness or responsibility to help? Whether you feel burdened by, or called to address, the myriad of social concerns in the world today, your response stems, in part, from how you see yourself in the world in relation to others.
In this Discussion, you explore the influence of personal values on your concept of social responsibility.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review examples of social responsibility presented in the assigned reading from the Loeb (2010) course text.
Review “The Golden Rule” from this week’s Resources to identify commonalities across quotes and to determine whether any quotes align with your own values.
Complete the Cultural Genogram: Dimensions of Culture document in this week’s Resources to discover personal values related to social responsibility.
Think of the community or communities where you grew up. What issue of concern or need in that community(ies) did you see addressed directly or indirectly?
Think about the elements in your life that might have influenced your definition of social responsibility.
Did any of your family members choose careers that served the community in which they lived?
What convictions do you hold that were formed early in life that now influence the way you view social responsibility?

Discussion 2: Leadership Perspectives
Leaders believe in creating change out of a spirit of community, building a collaborative vision through dialogue, and developing a vision that integrates personal and professional beliefs.
The concepts of leadership, advocacy, and change are intertwined. Leaders are expected to be innovators, risk takers, and strategic thinkers. They also need to be advocates at the local, state, and national levels, and they need to motivate and lead members, followers, and communities to do the same. Advocacy enables, empowers, and encourages members to become involved in change.

Chapter 4 Social System and Organization Culture
1. A social system is a complex set of human relationships within an organization where the behavior of one member can impact others directly or indirectly.
2. Roles define expected behaviors and responsibilities within a social system. Role conflict occurs when different expectations exist, while role ambiguity results from unclear or unknown roles.
3. Mentors provide guidance to more junior employees on navigating roles and behaviors to facilitate their career progress. Understanding roles helps people act appropriately in different situations.

Week 9 Assignment
Application: Diversity in the Workplace
In this week’s Discussion, you thought about democracy in the workplace. For this Assignment, you will consider how democratic principles in the workplace are related to and might be promoted by diversity. Diversity has different meanings; the particular meaning held by an organization may shape that organization in a variety of ways. Most organizations profess to value diversity in the workforce, and employers view the variety of talents and ideas that a diverse labor pool brings to the job as an economic asset. Diversity may, however, produce more than just economic benefits for an organization. One way to better understand diversity is to think about which aspects of diversity are related to democratic principles. Another way to approach diversity is to look at which democratic principles are promoted in your own organization through diversity. As you consider the concept of diversity, take note of underlying aspects that may advance democracy in the workplace.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review the article “A Contingency Approach to Representative Bureaucracy: Power, Equal Opportunities and Diversity” in this week’s Learning Resources. Think about the link between diversity and representative bureaucracy in the workplace.
Review the article “The Ideal of Diversity in Organizations” in this week’s Learning Resources.
Consider strategies for advancing diversity in the workplace. Pay particular attention to matters such as individual difference and equality as they relate to diversity in the workplace.
Reflect on basic democratic principles and consider how they are related to diversity.
Select at least two democratic principles that you think are promoted by diversity in the workplace and think about how diversity might or does promote them.
The Assignment (1–2 pages):
Briefly describe the democratic principles that you selected.
Explain how diversity relates to and promotes the democratic principles you selected.
Based on your analysis, share insights and draw conclusions about how diversity relates to and promotes democratic principles in the workplace.

This document discusses the importance and uses of theory in social work. It provides definitions of key terms like theories of social work, theories for social work, and orienting theories. Theories help social workers by providing descriptions and explanations of human behavior, the social environment, and how change occurs. They guide observation, description, explanation, intervention, and prediction. While some argue that social work is more of an intuitive practice learned through experience, the document supports the idea that theories teach social workers to see people's resources rather than just problems, making practice more professional and efficient when used along with intuition.

- Coalition members feel more motivated and committed to the work
- Successful outreach events where the message resonated with attendees
- Increased social media following and engagement with your posts
- Policymakers express willingness to learn more about potential solutions
Long-term changes:
- Changes in attitudes, beliefs, social norms around the issue over time
- Broader base of supporters from more diverse groups and communities
- Policy or system changes that address root causes of the problem

Discussion 1: Treatment Evaluation
Many social work students dread taking research classes. They often view the courses as unnecessary to be a good social worker when, in fact, the opposite is true. How do you really know that your interventions are working, unless you evaluate them? As a social worker it is essential to identify in a quantifiable manner whether a treatment is helping the client or if it needs to be abandoned for another approach. In the past, social workers depended on recognizing a client’s progress through their own observations. Today, with a significant push both in the field of social work and among insurance companies to provide evidenced-based practice, social workers now are expected, more than ever, to evaluate their practice. Selecting the proper measurement/evaluation tool, based on the clients’ presenting concerns and treatment goals, will provide the evidence-based practice that is expected by the field.
For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources, including the course-specific case studies. Select either Abdel or Pedro from the course-specific case studies provided and search the Mental Measures Yearbook database to identify potential scales that could be used to evaluate the treatment. Select one of the scales you identified and consider why it might be useful in evaluating treatment. Finally, think about the validity and reliability of that scale.
Note: The course-specific case study you select should differ from the case study you selected in Week 6.
Post by Day 3 a description of the scale you might use to evaluate treatment for the client in the case study you selected and explain why you selected that scale. Be sure to reference the case study you selected in your post. Finally, explain the validity and reliability of that scale.

Discussion 2: Management of Planned and Unplanned Termination
Ending a client relationship can be just as difficult as ending a personal relationship. In fact, while much of the literature addresses when to terminate, a more significant topic is the feelings that surround termination. Depending on the client and the length of treatment, saying goodbye can be hard for both of you. As a result, you should prepare for termination and the feelings surrounding this step of the GIM process early in the client-social worker relationship.
While you generally anticipate that successful treatment will lead to the eventual termination of the client relationship, there are a variety of other reasons for why this relationship might come to an end. There might be a set number of sessions the client’s insurance will allow, or maybe the end of your intern.

Modular Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this module, the student will be able to satisfy the following outcomes:
•Case ◦Compare transformational leadership to non-leadership (laissez-faire).
•SLP ◦Explore and discuss the impact of a transactional leadership environment on the tribal stage of an organization.
•Discussion ◦Apply the situational leadership style to tribal leadership.
◦Discuss the benefits and/or drawbacks of using situational leadership to increase an organization’s tribal stage to the next level.
◦Apply the non-leadership factor (laissez-faire) to tribal leadership.
◦Determine whether a non-leadership style (laissez-faire) impacts an organization’s tribal leadership stage negatively or positively.
Module Overview
We are at the half-way point in the course, and it is time to change gears from traits and skills; but we will continue to apply all the concepts we are studying to tribal leadership.
For Module 3, we will focus on leadership styles, including situational leadership, transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and even non-leadership (laissez-faire).
By now, the different parts of leadership theory we have studied will start to form the basis for strategic leadership decisions, especially as they apply to tribal leadership. With a large chunk of key leadership theories under our belt, we should have no trouble beginning to discern which approaches are best in certain situations and scenarios.
Module 3 - Background
Leadership Styles and The Tribe
Style Approach
Around the same time that Katz (1955) was questioning the trait theory of leadership in favor of a more skills-based approach, Stogdill (1948) was also looking for a better model to define what makes a leader. We discussed Stogdill’s work in Module 1 (his discovery that “…the traits of leaders around the world were not distinct from the traits of non-leaders”). As we discussed, this led him to explore characteristics beyond innate traits.
As the style approach was coming into focus, several important studies were conducted to learn more about “what leaders do and how they act” (Northouse, 2018, p. 69). What leaders do is classified as task behaviors, while how leaders act is classified as relationship behaviors. Among those important studies were the Ohio State Studies, which focused on the way leaders acted when they were leading, and the University of Michigan Studies, which focused on “the impact of leaders’ behaviors on the performance of small groups” (Northouse, 2018, p. 71). While both of these studies are critical parts of understanding leadership, they are covered heavily in elementary leadership studies, and will not be further explored in the context of strategic leadership. Instead, we will move on to the prevalent style-based theories that took hold as a result of these studies and the work of Stogdill and Katz (1948; 1955).

Careers in sociology
offer a wide range of opportunities for individuals interested in studying and understanding human society and social behavior. Here is a discussion on the various career paths within sociology:
Research and Academia: Many sociologists pursue careers in research and academia. They work as professors, researchers, and scholars in universities, colleges, and research institutions. They conduct research, publish academic papers, and contribute to the knowledge and understanding of sociological theories and concepts.
Applied Sociology: Applied sociologists utilize their knowledge and skills to address social issues and provide practical solutions. They work in diverse settings such as government agencies, non-profit organizations, consulting firms, and social service agencies. Applied sociologists may focus on areas like community development, social policy, program evaluation, or social advocacy.
Social Services and Human Resources: Sociologists can find rewarding careers in social services and human resources sectors. They work in roles such as social workers, counselors, program managers, or human resource specialists. Sociological knowledge helps them understand the dynamics of social problems, develop intervention strategies, and create inclusive and equitable workplaces.
Market Research and Data Analysis: Sociologists with expertise in research methods and data analysis can find opportunities in market research firms and organizations. They conduct consumer research, analyze data, and provide insights into consumer behavior, social trends, and market dynamics. Their sociological perspective helps in understanding the social factors that shape consumer choices and preferences.

They analyze social issues, evaluate policy effectiveness, and make recommendations for social change. Sociologists working in this field often collaborate with government agencies, think tanks, advocacy groups, and public policy organizations.
Critical Process Assignment TV and the State ofStorytelling
Critical Process Assignment: TV and the State of
Storytelling
The rise of the reality program over the past decade has more to do with the cheaper cost of this
genre than with the wild popularity of these programs. In fact, the history of television and
viewer numbers, traditional sitcoms and dramas--and even prime-time news programs like 60
Minutes and 20/20--have been far more popular than successful reality programs like American
Idol. But when national broadcast TV executives cut costs by reducing writing and production
staffs and hiring “regular people” instead of trained actors, does the craft of storytelling suffer at
the expense of commercial savings? Can good stories be told in a reality program? In this
exercise, let’s compare the storytelling competence of a reality program with that of a more
traditional comedy sitcom or drama.
Directions
Be sure to address separately each stage of the critical process. The description section can be
partially in list form, but the other sections of the assignment need to be in paragraph form. You
should strive to write a solid paragraph or two for each step of the critical process. These papers
do not need to have a traditional introduction or conclusion. Instead you can number each section
of your paper as each step of the critical process.

track the main problems that are posed in the programs and how they are portrayed or worked
out in each episode. Find out and compare the basic production costs of each program.
2. Analysis
Look for patterns and differences in the ways stories are told in the two programs. At a general
level, what are the conflicts about? (For example, are they about men versus women, managers
versus employees, tradition versus change, individuals versus institutions, honesty versus
dishonesty, authenticity versus artificiality?). How complicated or simple are the tensions in the
two programs, and how are problems resolved? Are there some conflicts that you feel should not

Chapter 4 Social System and Organization Culture
1. A social system is a complex set of human relationships within an organization where the behavior of one member can impact others directly or indirectly.
2. Roles define expected behaviors and responsibilities within a social system. Role conflict occurs when different expectations exist, while role ambiguity results from unclear or unknown roles.
3. Mentors provide guidance to more junior employees on navigating roles and behaviors to facilitate their career progress. Understanding roles helps people act appropriately in different situations.

Week 9 Assignment
Application: Diversity in the Workplace
In this week’s Discussion, you thought about democracy in the workplace. For this Assignment, you will consider how democratic principles in the workplace are related to and might be promoted by diversity. Diversity has different meanings; the particular meaning held by an organization may shape that organization in a variety of ways. Most organizations profess to value diversity in the workforce, and employers view the variety of talents and ideas that a diverse labor pool brings to the job as an economic asset. Diversity may, however, produce more than just economic benefits for an organization. One way to better understand diversity is to think about which aspects of diversity are related to democratic principles. Another way to approach diversity is to look at which democratic principles are promoted in your own organization through diversity. As you consider the concept of diversity, take note of underlying aspects that may advance democracy in the workplace.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review the article “A Contingency Approach to Representative Bureaucracy: Power, Equal Opportunities and Diversity” in this week’s Learning Resources. Think about the link between diversity and representative bureaucracy in the workplace.
Review the article “The Ideal of Diversity in Organizations” in this week’s Learning Resources.
Consider strategies for advancing diversity in the workplace. Pay particular attention to matters such as individual difference and equality as they relate to diversity in the workplace.
Reflect on basic democratic principles and consider how they are related to diversity.
Select at least two democratic principles that you think are promoted by diversity in the workplace and think about how diversity might or does promote them.
The Assignment (1–2 pages):
Briefly describe the democratic principles that you selected.
Explain how diversity relates to and promotes the democratic principles you selected.
Based on your analysis, share insights and draw conclusions about how diversity relates to and promotes democratic principles in the workplace.
Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list only for those resources
not
included in the Learning Resources for this course.

Diversity week2 class1
This document provides an overview of section one of a course on managing diversity in the workplace. It discusses the need for organizational change to effectively manage diversity and outlines several frameworks for understanding diversity, including definitions, prejudices, stereotypes, and social group memberships. It also presents models for analyzing how to manage diversity and organizational change, including Schein's levels of organizational culture, Thomas and Ely's three organizational paradigms, and Miller and Katz's inclusion breakthrough approach. The overall goal is to help participants understand individual and organizational perspectives on diversity.

Each part of the United States has at least one ecological crisis ba.docx
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.
Write your initial response in approximately 300–350 words.

Propose how the environmental damage listed in your classmates’ posts could be reversed.
Consider if any “ideal” laws exist today to address these issues. Cite your examples.
Recommend the type of laws you would implement, from an ecological standpoint, to manage and restore this biome.

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!

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Discussion 1 Social Change, Leadership, and AdvocacyThree c.docx
- 1. Discussion 1: Social Change, Leadership, and Advocacy Three core concepts are relevant to members of human and social services professions: social change, leadership, and advocacy. Broadly speaking, social change has to do with righting the wrongs in society; leadership means being a guiding force in fostering social and professional change; and advocacy refers to sponsoring or promoting such change. Because these concepts are intrinsic to human services professionals, it is imperative to explore each of these core concepts more deeply, evaluate their meanings, and consider how they are alike and different. To prepare: Review this week’s Learning Resources. Think about similarities and differences among the concepts of social change, leadership, and advocacy. With these thoughts in mind: By Day 3 Post a brief explanation of two similarities and two differences between each pair of concepts (i.e., social change vs. leadership, social change vs. advocacy, and leadership vs.
- 2. advocacy). Provide examples to illustrate your points. Then, explain 2–3 conclusions you drew or insights you had as a result of doing the comparison. Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.
