Discussion: Counseling Same-Sex Couples Consider the following scenario: You are a helping professional providing counseling to a same-sex couple. The partners in that couple are parents to two children, ages 6 and 3. Beyond this basic information, you are asked to speculate how additional details might influence this couple’s experience of parenting. Consider different possible aspects of their lives as parents, including how parenting may influence their couple relationship, what connections the family may have to other members of the local community, and how the parents might interact with and experience institutions related to their parenting experiences (e.g., schools, child care, health care providers, mental health professionals). Select two pairs of demographic differences from the following list: Urban/rural Interracial/same race One stay-at-home parent/dual career Higher/lower socioeconomic status Residency in a state where a legal union is possible/residency in a state where a legal union is not possible Secular/religious Consider how the same-sex couples’ parenting experiences might differ between each side of the categories you selected. Post by Day 4 the two categories of demographic differences that you selected. Explain how the couple’s relationship and their parenting experiences might differ between each side of the categories you selected. (For example, if you chose urban/rural as one of your categories, explain how the experiences would differ if the couple lived in an urban area or if they lived in a rural area.) Finally, explain how your counseling approach might differ based on the different experiences of the couple.

What are the benefits of having multiple partners? What are the disadvantages? Do you feel that polygamy should be legal in the US? 2. Some researchers have argued that ‘singlism’(please read this article to get a better understanding of the concept: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/living-single/201809/singlism-how-serious-is-it-really) is prevalent in the US and around the world. What are your thoughts? Why might someone be afraid of being single? How are singles discriminated against in your culture? Does sex/gender and/or age have anything to do with it? 3. How do each of the three sociological paradigms discussed in class view family and relationships? Which one do you agree with and why? Find a real-world example that supports the theory that you chose (this could be a newspaper article, scholarly journal, book, etc.) Include the citation for your source using APA formatting.

Create an informative public information piece that presents research on institutional discrimination within a specific social institution. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: SHOW LESS Competency 1: Describe theoretical ideas of power in relation to policy. Create an effective public information piece that conveys a clear, cohesive message about institutional inequality. Competency 2: Identify historical and contemporary influences of discrimination in U.S. culture. Analyze data on the factors contributing to racial, ethnic, or other disparities within a specific institution to make valid sociological arguments. Competency 3: Analyze the effects of social policy using aggregated data. Explain ways in which public policies are linked to racial, ethnic, or other disparities within a specific institution. Competency 4: Analyze how laws are applied or created based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, and social class. Assess the impact of institutional discrimination on minorities and minority communities. Competency 5: Apply diversity strategies in professional, educational, and personal contexts. Describe policy strategies for reducing institutional discrimination. Competency 6: Apply in text the standard writing conventions for the discipline, including structure, voice, person, tone, and citation formatting. Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate format and with few errors of grammar, usage, and mechanics. Often, discrimination is discussed as a primarily individual phenomenon—one-on-one actions in which one person discriminates against another. But as you have learned through your studies and research, some discrimination occurs at the institutional level, despite laws and policies that have been created to reduce or eliminate structural racism. SHOW LESS It is important to consider how different experiences for minority groups may reflect a dominant culture that practices systemic discrimination in terms of treatment or access to valued resources. In other words, if there are many individuals in a society who are not racist or discriminatory, can the same also be said of the institutions in U.S. society as a whole? Often, institutional discrimination involves the intersection of race or ethnicity with other variables, like social class and gender. For example, patterns of residential segregation may be connected to both race and ethnicity, as well as socioeconomic status. As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are f.

Unit 1: Module 1 - M1 Assignment 3 Assignment 3: Views on Diversity Pablo believes that diversity is the most important issue in our culture, and that it is greatly underemphasized. On the other hand, Ralph rarely thinks of diversity, except when it is mentioned in the workplace. Monica is sensitized to multicultural issues because her parents are immigrants who still struggle with discrimination after being here for 20 years. To obtain a cross-section of what people think about diversity, conduct five-minute interviews with three individuals you don't know well, and assess their views on diversity. You have been provided an Informed Consent document for the respondents to sign along with verbally consenting to participate in this assignment. This is to enable that the respondents demonstrate a clear understanding of the meaning and purpose of this assignment. While you are expected to use the informed consent form in keeping with ethical practices for data collection, you do not need to submit it to the instructor as part of the assignment. Ask the respondents the following questions and record their answers: When you hear the word diversity mentioned in the workplace, in the media, or in casual conversation, what meaning do you assign this term? Does a particular race, ethnic group, or other minority group come to mind when you think of diversity? Does one of these groups pertain to you? Do you think the majority of people in our culture: Respect cultural differences among groups of people. Show indifference to cultural differences. Lack respect for cultural differences. Explain each choice. If you were to make a suggestion about how our culture should handle diversity over the next decade, what would it be? Compile your responses and write a brief reflection paper (two pages) on your findings. Specifically address the following issues: What did you discover was the general attitude toward diversity in our culture? Is diversity more associated with one race, ethnic, or other minority group than with others? If so, explain why this might be the case. Compare and contrast the respondent's views with your own. How would you answer the same questions? Submit your response to the M1: Assignment 3 Dropbox by Wednesday, July 22, 2015 . Your response should be at least two pages long. All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources. Assignment 3 Grading Criteria Maximum Points Interviewed a cross-section of people and acquired the desired responses. 15 Summarized the respondent's attitude toward diversity in modern culture using appropriate terms and concepts. 25 Commented on whether the respondent believed diversity was associated with one particular race or ethnic group more so than others. 25 Provided contrasting views between the respondent's and your own views on the discussed subjects along with an explanation. 25 Wrote in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrated ethical sch.

Substance Abuse Substance abuse is perceived in a variety of ways by different entities. The court system may view substance abuse as a criminal activity. The medical and social work fields may view it as evidence of a disease or disorder. Uninformed individuals may view substance abuse as a personal choice or weakness. Decisions about how to address and respond to this social problem influence the development of effective policies. This week, you explore the impact of drug policies on clients and populations. You identify the ethical obligations of social workers in changing drug policies. You also identify a social justice issue for which you can advocate and write a letter to a legislative representative.

Drug Policies and Ethics The NASW Code of Ethics provides social workers with guidelines and standards for interacting with clients, colleagues, communities, and society, as a whole. These standards govern interactions and professional behavior of social work practitioners. The NASW has also developed specific standards, which are published in the NASW Standards for Social Work Practice With Clients With Substance Use Disorders. These standards emphasize the importance of the competence of social workers. The standards indicate that social workers should be knowledgeable of evidence-based interventions for substance disorders. The confidentiality standard becomes essential as social workers must be informed and comply with federal, state, and local laws about substance use, as well as third-party payee regulations.

As a result of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and private insurance.docx

jesuslightbody

As a result of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and private insurance exchanges, there are fewer uninsured in the U.S. now compared to 2010. In 2022, the national uninsured rate reached a new low of only 8% of the population (HHS, 2022). In addition, under the ACA, 39 states have expanded Medicaid coverage to nearly all adults up to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2022). Assume you are the administrator of a health care organization that accepts Medicaid as a payor, but in a state that has not expanded Medicaid coverage. Recent Medicaid policies and discounting have contributed to the organization’s failing bottom line. Many of your clients are on Medicaid or uninsured. You have been asked to prepare an executive summary to present to the board of directors detailing how Medicaid discounting causes hardships on your organization’s finances and the health populations you serve. Write a 700- to 1,050-word executive summary. Include the following in your executive summary: • Clearly identify the type of facility that you are leading. • Explain specific cuts that Medicaid has made in recent years. • Describe how Medicaid discounting causes hardships on your organization. • Evaluate the impact of federal or state health care policies are having on consumers’ costs. Explore both positive and negative effects. • Recommend changes you propose to help decrease the deficit from the perspective of your organization. • Recommend actions the organization can take to alleviate the negative effects of these changes but still meet the needs of various populations. Cite 3 reputable references to support your assignment (e.g., trade or industry publications, government or agency websites, scholarly works, or other sources of similar quality). Format your assignment according to APA guidelines. Part 2: Resource: Ch. 8 to 14 of The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: • Define the term social contract. • Within this context, should cultures within the United States be expected to set aside some traditions or beliefs and integrate under a united social contract? • How does this impact or influence health care delivery within this country? Please include sources/references to support your perspective. Classmates response: respond to both in 50 words minimum. R1 To my understanding, a social contract is a living agreement (like a living document) among people in a society. This agreement is forever evolving in parallel with new technology, medical advancements, migration, etc. It is the invisible contract that sets expectations and common grounds that guides interactions between individuals. With that said, I don’t believe that cultures be forgotten. Nor do I believe that it is suitable for individuals never to assimilate. I think both can exist, and focusing on one or the other can lead to extremist ideologies. For example, the rules we have at home for ou.

vickeylintern

Write a 3–4-page evaluation of gender and education in the United States. This assessment asks you to consider the ways gender may concretely impact a major societal institution. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: Competency 1: Critically analyze issues related to gender and communication. Explain how K–12 schools can intentionally or unintentionally enforce gender roles. Describe how colleges and universities either support or disregard gender issues on campus. Competency 4: Identify effective leadership strategies that promote effective communication between men and women. Summarize the role of gender in the student–instructor dynamic. Describe how to reduce or eliminate gender bias in the classroom. Competency 5: Communicate effectively in a variety of formats. Communicate effectively and concisely using APA formatting. To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the business community. For the following questions, refer to the Resources (under the Internet Resources heading) for links to the Lieberman resource and the Barr resource: Do mothers and fathers generally differ in their interaction with children? If so, then how? Do today's fathers spend more time with their children than their own fathers spent with them? Do you think males and females are growing up at the same pace today as they did in previous eras? Many experts believe that education in the United States is gendered. That is, boys and girls are educated and treated differently throughout their academic careers. For this assessment, write an evaluation of gender and education in the United States. Address the following in your evaluation: Are boys and girls taught gender in our public school systems? Are female and male college students given equal support? What differences are there in how college students evaluate male and female instructors? How can gender bias be reduced or eliminated in the classroom? If you use Internet sources, they must be credible. For example, Wikipedia and YouTube are not credible resources. Additional Requirements Written communication: Written communication should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.

Dorella Fountain RE: Discussion 1 - Week 6 Collapse Top of Form Total views: 40 (Your views: 2) An outsider might not know that I’m a lesbian and that I am married to a woman. Social Workers additional knowledge of the culture of a member of the LGBTQ community would be very beneficial for not only the Social Worker but more importantly the client. King et al. (2007) argues that (as cited in Alessi, 2013, p. 224)” therapists and counselors still require specialized knowledge to understand how to support a range of sexual identities such as bisexuality; how sexuality is understood by families and how they respond; the difficulties encountered by sexual minority youth; therapist expertise and sensitivity regarding LGBTQ issues; and the effect of therapists’ sexual orientation on the treatment process.” LGBTQ community members endure unique difficulties as those of other cultures so it is very important for Social Worker and others in the helping profession to be culturally aware. While is it almost impossible to know every single detail regarding a specific culture, having the aware of the differences between cultures is important. Some potential consequences due to a lack of cultural awareness would be possible loss of clients trust and cooperation, doing more harm than good to clients, possible loss of job and even license. Social Workers who are not culturally aware could unintentionally make a discriminatory or prejudice statement resulting in the client/Social Worker relationship being harmed. Reference Alessi, E., J. (2013). Acknowledging the impact of social forces on sexual minority clients: Introduction to the special issue on clinical practice with LGBTQ populations.

I am an African American female. I was raised up in church. I am a Christian. I believe in the power of prayer. The foods that I grew up eating are collard greens, peas, pig tails, pig feet, corn bread, chicken, neckbones, and pork chop. I was talk to respect everyone no matter what their age are. My mother did not work. She received food stamps, TANF, and Medicaid to help provide for her family. My mother also received child support. My grandmother and uncle raised me because my mother was always going somewhere. Some consequences of a lack of cultural awareness on the social worker’s part are if you do not know about different religions, you might say something wrong without knowing it. A social worker may offend a client without knowing it by talking to them using a certain tone of voice. You must to set aside culture differences. You cannot be judgmental.

Response 1Respond to at least two colleagues whose classificatio.docx

mackulaytoni

Response 1 Respond to at least two colleagues whose classifications differ from your own by critiquing their classifications. In addition, suggest one way you might apply each colleague's life-span classification to your social work practice. Colleague 1: L It is important because although; a young person may have held down a job, and acts mature, they have not yet experienced enough of life to be considered an adult. The same concept goes for middle aged people. Although; a middle aged person is active, and looks younger than their age, they are still considered to be middle aged. In other words regardless of the accomplishments of a person, their looks, and vitality, they are still catergorized in society by their age. Behaviors that might delay the cognitive, or social aspect of the aging process are socializing with friends and within the community, and participating in activities such as swimming, bingo, traveling, and other hobbies that enhance to cognitive apects of aging.It is proven that people who continue to be active socially, age gracefully, and without limits. They also continue to work brain cells that could eventually die out from dementia, and other illnesses.. Physically a person might speed up the aging process by isolating themselves from friends and family, by not focusing on health and nutrition, and by becoming a couch potato. When a person does not take care of themselves by exercising, and watching what they eat, they end up suffering from illnesses such as diabetes, limit their mobility, and are eventually confined to walkers, wheelchairs, and medications in their later years of life. Colleague 2: E According to Zastrow & Kirst Ashman (2016), individuals within the ages of 18 and 65 years are classified as young and middle adulthood. In as much as this classification has been in existence and popular, one can argue that, to determine the term adult hood may not be as easy as it sounds. Adulthood can be perceived differently from people, considering their culture, religion, personal belief, and social economic background. According to Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman (2016), “it is difficult to pinpoint the exact time of life we are referring to when we talk about young adulthood”. Some cultures such as the Nigerian culture, consider adulthood as a period where a child can comfortably carter for his /herself without seeking the help of the parents/guardian. Such age range may be around the ages 27to 30. Other cultures perceive young adulthood as the age where a child can comfortably make good decision in line with the expectation of older adults. To replace or improve on Zatrow & Kirst Ashman classification on young and middle adulthood, I will suggest a classification of young adulthood and middle adulthood from the ages of 15 to 50. This classification is in line with Buhler theories of young adult hood. According to Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman (2016), Buhler’s theory clustered adolescent and young adulthood together to inclu.

2Today’s Family Structures David Sacks/Digital Vision/Thinkstock Learning Outcomes After reading this chapter, you should be able to do the following: ሁ Describe various characteristics of single-parent families ሁ Explain some of the unique challenges facing both caregivers and children in foster families. ሁ Discuss some of the issues faced by adoptive families. ሁ Examine grandparent-headed families and their unique challenges. ሁ Explore characteristics of teen-parent families, their challenges, and ways that schools and communities can support them. ሁ Describe the characteristics of cohabiting couples and their children. ሁ Examine gay and lesbian families, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) children, focusing on their particular challenges, dynamics, and ways that children’s and other programs can work with and support these families. © 2016 Bridgepoint Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Not for resale or redistribution. Introduction Introduction While researchers have historically viewed the two-parent, biological family as the norm in U.S. society, there have always been many other family structures and types in this country, to some degree. Historically, many American families, especially immigrant families, were comprised of large and extended families (Wardle, 2013b). After the Civil War (1861–1865), many families consisted of single-parent female-headed households due to the levels of casu- alties of men in war. Some family structures have only recently been acknowledged, such as those headed by same-sex couples. For a variety of reasons, the portion of the population in other types of family structures such as blended families, dual-custody divorced families, grandparents raising grandchildren, teen parents, and single-parent families has dramatically increased over the past several decades. The discussion of various family structures in this chapter is not an attempt to compare them to the traditional nuclear family (two parents raising their biological or adoptive children)— what is termed a deficit view of the family. A deficit view is generally very limited in scope, as it compares a construct or concept (in this case, families) with an ideal and in turn may perceive ways in which it differs from the ideal as deficiencies. The aim of discussing various family structures, then, is to provide professionals working with families a firm understanding of these family structures and acknowledge that each has unique needs. This awareness can improve professionals’ ability to provide support, advice, and if necessary, access to outside resources. Central to our discussions of various family structures is a concept known as family well- being. Family well-being covers a wide variety of factors including the overall physical and psychological health of a family, high levels of self-esteem, a sense of power, and an internal locus of control. Internal locus of control is a sense t ...
