This document discusses different positions on the political spectrum from left to right. It defines liberal/left as favoring an active government role in social reform, poverty, education and environment. Conservative/right favors a limited government that stays out of citizens' lives except on moral issues. Moderate views fall between these. It also discusses far left radical views wanting fundamental system changes and far right reactionary views advocating return to past systems, even using violence. It provides examples of where different parties and ideologies fall on this spectrum.

Describe how a social worker would conceptualize a presenting probLinaCovington707
Describe how a social worker would conceptualize a presenting problem related to structural issues or barriers that contribute to a client’s marginalization using the two theories you selected.
Upon reviewing the assigned readings related to theoretical approaches in regard to Psychological Theories of Poverty, I choose theories that demonstrate both the individual-related, and structural/cultural-related theories that address conceptualized representation of forseen structural issues and or barriers that further contribute to society’s experienced marginalization. The initial theory that represents individual related perspective, would be the ecological theory which in a sociological lens connects social entities with their environments. The two mentioned methods that are fundamental to the ecological theory are “adaptation and selection”. Adaptation can be referred as the process by which an entity modifies, in order to survive optimally within its given environment; selection is the process that highlights the less adapted to a set environments condition (Aldric, 1979). The ecological theory essentially can be known to emphasize one’s attention to the behavior of the social environment, and the nature of resiliency observed by behavior demonstrated (Turner & Lehning, 2007). The second theory, I elected to reference that I believe further referenced the marginalization contributed to issues and barriers is the naturalizing perspective theory in conjunction with the cultural-relativistic perspective, which validates that intrinsic biological factors that may lead to poverty in addition to suggesting that poorer communities experience different culture exposures from the rest of society. The culture of poverty theory focuses on the role social environments create in a culture of poverty, individuals classified in this category are more likely to experience family tensions, lack of refined emotions, along additional persistent familial, economical, and medical concerns (Turner & Lehning, 2007). This theory further explores the lack or poor political, economical, and social freedom that individuals are deprived of. Moreover, both theories allow social workers to further expand on issues that further debilitate communities that are more necessitated than others, among identifying the lack of resources, and or neglect of the targeted population. In which case, Social Workers can take it upon themselves to further facilitate further insight on resources the respected communities and or clients would benefit from yet utilizing cultural humility and competency.
Explain how this conceptualization differs from an individual-related versus a structural/cultural-related theoretical lens.
The conceptualized differences related to individual related, and cultural/structural related theories can be the complexities associated to the related theories. Social dysfunctionality specifically between the discomfort associated with culture and race is an eviden ...

Many youth leaders are compelled to do work with community based non-profit and local public health agencies as both a service learning and philanthropic component in their development as young professionals. However, despite invaluable experiential learning, students often don\'t comprehend key overarching issues such as health disparities, social determinants of health, health policy and community organizing. To address this gap and optimize their community based work, the Health Disparities Student Collaborative (HDSC), a Boston-based student group under Critical MASS for eliminating health disparities and the Center for Community Health Education Research and Service Inc. (CCHERS), developed a curriculum for students designed to broaden their perspectives while working with local public health, non-profit/community organizations and to develop their interest and ability to visualize the power of their collective voice as students and contributors to social justice work. The curriculum utilizes peer education and webinar software and covers three main topics: Current State of Health Disparities, Social Determinants of Health, and Youth Activism on Health Disparities/Social Determinants of Health. HDSC has collaborated with local partners CCHERS/Critical MASS and the Community Based Public Health Caucus (CBPHC) Youth Council to develop this comprehensive “Health Equality Peer Education” training.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
