The document analyzes the treatment of disabled people in Hong Kong policies and society based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. It finds that resources are currently focused on social and esteem needs but not enough on physiological, safety, and security needs. It recommends increasing funding, education, employment opportunities, and legal protections for disabled people. An optimal level of support is needed rather than too little or too much. The government, society, and laws all need reforms to better accommodate disabled individuals and achieve an integrated society.

Harassment and discrimination
This document discusses harassment and discrimination. It defines harassment as subjecting individuals to unwanted behaviors that upset them, and discrimination as denying individuals benefits or social inclusion based on their traits. Harassment and discrimination violate human rights and are common problems. They infringe on individuals' rights and certain characteristics like race, gender, age, disability or appearance increase susceptibility. The effects include low self-esteem, denial of rights and opportunities, reduced social participation, inequalities, tensions among groups, and in some cases abuse. Essential solutions include governments enacting legal protections, public education, empowering minority groups, and ensuring their representation.
What's It Worth?: The Economic Value of College Majors
This report details the relationships between major, gender, race/ethnicity, attending graduate school, and earnings.
The Disability Agenda of the UK
The document outlines The Disability Agenda, which aims to promote equality and human rights for disabled people in the UK. It identifies nine priorities for reform, including ending child poverty, increasing opportunities for education and employment, improving social care and health services, ensuring accessible housing, and building inclusive communities. The overall goal is for disabled people to have freedom, respect, dignity and opportunities to participate fully in social and economic life.

This document discusses the case for continued federal funding of Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs. It notes that $3.5 billion has been allocated to MSIs in recent legislation. The document argues that MSIs deserve funding because they educate many underrepresented minority students, face historical disadvantages in funding, and help close educational gaps in STEM fields. It also claims that MSIs benefit the public good by increasing national competitiveness and stimulating local economies. The document concludes that these reasons answer questions about the rationale for MSI funding while also raising issues for further research.

Women Can’t Win: Despite Making Educational Gains and Pursing High-Wage Majors, Women Still Earn Less than Men explores the complex set of reasons that have kept the gender wage gap in place. Even when comparing men and women who have equal educational attainment and work in the same occupation, women still earn only 92 cents for every dollar earned by men.
Social Impact of Cognitive Enhancement
The document discusses the potential social impacts of cognitive enhancement technologies. It notes that initial enhancements may disproportionately benefit wealthy individuals, exacerbating inequality. However, it also outlines various individual and societal benefits, such as reduced accidents, increased income and economic growth. It acknowledges risks like increased competition but argues many enhancements are non-positional. It concludes that near-term impacts are likely manageable and collective enhancement could offset risks while spreading benefits more widely. Monitoring and policies like taxation may help transition impacts.
Cognitive Divide or a Mind-Meld
This document discusses several scenarios and issues related to cognitive enhancement technologies. It outlines different methods of cognitive enhancement, including internal techniques like drugs as well as external hardware and software. It also examines the potential economic and societal impacts, including both benefits like reduced losses and costs from increased competition. While cognitive enhancement could grow the economy and help the worst off, it may also increase inequality in the short term and disrupt competitive domains. The risks are manageable in the near term with research and policies to promote widespread access.
Teagen Johnson: CHNA Dane County, WI: Creighton MPH602
The document provides a community health needs assessment for Dane County, Wisconsin. It outlines the assessment process, which includes defining the community, identifying stakeholders, collecting and analyzing demographic and health indicator data, and prioritizing issues. Key findings include the county's diverse and educated population with access to healthcare, lower than average rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease but high rates of chronic disease overall. Teen pregnancy and low birthweight are relatively low concerns.

White workers have used historical educational and economic privileges to build disproportionate advantages in the educational pipeline and the workforce that will continue to last for decades, according to new research from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce (CEW) in partnership with JPMorgan Chase & Co. Black and Latino workers, on the other hand, face discrimination, racism, and other injustices that perpetuate inequities in education and the economy. The Unequal Race for Good Jobs: How Whites Made Outsized Gains in Education and Good Jobs Compared to Blacks and Latinos explores how the distribution of good jobs across educational attainment levels varies by race and ethnicity.
2008 03 10_ncid-dem_merit
The document discusses the need to transition from an individualistic concept of merit in college admissions to a democratic concept of merit. It argues that admissions policies should consider how students may contribute to society and a just democracy. It provides examples of non-traditional measures that could be used to identify students who have overcome adversity and will enrich the learning environment. It also highlights some current programs that reflect aspects of democratic merit in admissions.
Helping Students Helping Alberta
The document discusses how investing in post-secondary education and volunteering provides benefits to Alberta's social economy. It notes that average student debt levels are rising, which means students and graduates have less time and money to volunteer. The solution proposed is to create a student loan remission program where a portion of a student or recent graduate's loan would be forgiven based on hours spent volunteering in the community. The program would be open to not-for-profits, charities and require a minimum threshold of volunteer hours over a set period of time.
Five Rules of the College and Career Game
To untangle today’s college and career maze, new research from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, "Five Rules of the College and Career Game" shows that college is less about what college you go to and what degree you get but more about the returns of individual college programs.
Reflections on a decade of evaluation of micro finance-Ranjani.K.Murthy
The document summarizes lessons learned from evaluating 10 microfinance and livelihood projects from a gender lens over 10 years. Key findings include:
1) Evaluation methodologies, outcomes, and processes are shaped by power dynamics related to gender and social hierarchies.
2) Projects had varying levels of success in addressing gender inequalities, with more impact on issues like access and decision making than deeply entrenched issues.
3) Involving implementing agencies in evaluations can build capacity and acceptance but may introduce politics; clear objectives are important.
4) A shift is needed from short-term projects to long-term programs that explicitly aim to change social institutions through a gender lens.

Indicators of gendered control over agricultural resources
This was the 4th in a series of webinars developed by the CGIAR Gender and Agriculture Research Network. This webinar was based on a recently released working paper. It was presented by Smriti Rao who prepared the working paper and moderated by Cheryl Doss from the CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions and Markets.
DRAFT Dissertation Booklet Entry - Toni-Louise for Approval
1) The document discusses a dissertation that examines the aspirations of young people from different socioeconomic backgrounds and whether lack of access to "capital" can prevent those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds from attending university.
2) The dissertation is based on interviews with 9 people aged 21-25 from varying socioeconomic backgrounds, some who attended university and some who did not, about their career aspirations, views on education, and potential barriers.
3) The findings suggest that all young people have high aspirations but that current policy focuses too much on raising aspirations rather than examining structural factors like poverty and access to support that can limit options.
Women and the economy
This document discusses trends related to women and the economy globally and in the Asia-Pacific region and Australia. It notes that women represent half the world's population and 40% of the global workforce, yet face restrictions that cost economies billions each year. In Australia, women earn less than men and are underrepresented in leadership roles. The document recommends actions like keeping skills up-to-date, requesting gender pay audits, and improving negotiation skills to further empower women economically.

This document discusses the care economy in Australia from a gender perspective. It finds that in 2009-2010, women undertook 21.4 billion hours of unpaid care work equivalent to 11.1 million full-time positions. The imputed value of this unpaid care was $650.1 billion or 50.6% of GDP. Paid care work accounted for $112.4 billion and 1.8 million jobs. Both paid and unpaid care disproportionately burden women and contribute to the gender pay gap. The document calls for policies and services to better support and value both paid and unpaid care work.

This document discusses the challenges of targeting poverty programs, specifically heterogeneity in populations and locations. It notes that targeting aims to allocate limited resources to the most vulnerable groups based on need and program objectives. However, targeting the poor is difficult as poverty characteristics and contexts vary within and between locations. Three key challenges are identifying the poorest households, dealing with differences between households, and providing assistance in diverse social and cultural contexts where sharing is common. The document reviews approaches to targeting like means testing, categorical, geographic, and community-based targeting and finds targeting works best with a combination of methods and consideration of local contexts and sharing norms.
Social mobility and volunteering: Identifying opportunities that count
Social mobility and volunteering: Identifying opportunities that countNCVO - National Council for Voluntary Organisations
This document discusses research on social mobility through volunteering. It reviews evidence that certain types of volunteering can contribute to mobility for young people by providing work experience, skills, and connections. However, access to high-status, competitive volunteering opportunities tends to be unequal, with more educated, wealthy individuals having greater access. Remaining questions include precisely testing how different types and durations of volunteering impact mobility, and further evaluating schemes to open access to elite volunteering for disadvantaged groups.Lecture 1 - Introduction to Interiors for the Less Able - VDIS 10005 Interior...
This document discusses interior design considerations for people with disabilities or reduced mobility ("the less able"). It notes that about 1 in 5 people have a disability and reviews how architectural and interior design have historically catered only to average individuals. New legislation in the late 20th century recognized barriers and accessibility became more emphasized. The document outlines specific interior design needs like ramps, grab bars, lever handles, and open floor plans. It stresses that with thoughtful universal design, architects and designers can create accessible spaces to meet all clients' needs.
04 Accessibility
This document discusses the importance of accessibility and universal design in product and environment design. It notes that around 19% of the population lives with some form of disability and that number is growing as the population ages. The Americans with Disabilities Act requires accessibility in public spaces and workplaces. Universal design principles call for designs that are intuitive and accommodating for people of all abilities from the start. The document encourages designers to consider how they can break down barriers through their work in architecture, visual communication, interior design, and industrial design.
interior designing for the disabled person
The document discusses interior design considerations for hotels to accommodate disabled guests. It addresses reservations (using TTY devices), transportation (accessible vehicles), registration (counters at appropriate heights), guest rooms (wide paths of travel, accessible bathrooms), and exercise facilities (accessible paths and equipment). The goal is to design hotels to meet specific physical requirements for mobility, such as ramps, corridor and door widths, bathroom sizes, and furniture clearances.

All question 250 to 300 words APA format with two references
DQ-1
This week’s first discussion forum will focus on the population of abused individuals. Abuse is a pervasive problem in our society. Although the forms of abuse, as well as the intensity and duration can vary from case to case, each abused person is tasked with dealing with the scars left from the abuse. As you can imagine, this task can be very challenging to say the least. Using research to help you form an opinion, which form of capital (social or human capital) do you feel will have a greater influence over resources accessible to the abused? Discuss which form of capital you would rely on for emotional support and help through difficult times if abused. Explain your rationale.
DQ-2
chronically ill and the disabled.
You may be familiar with the common quote “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” In reality, however, you may know of a person, family, or group who is not receiving adequate preventive or medical care due to a lack of resources and funds.
· Choose one specific chronic illness or disability of your choice.
· Select two resources in your community that address issues related to the chronic illness/disability and describe the services offered.
· Select two national resources that address issues related to the chronic illness/disability and describe the services offered.
· Analyze whether or not the continuum of care services are adequate for the population with the chosen chronic illness/disability. Explain why or why not.
Your initial contribution should be 250 to 300 words in length. Your research and claims must be supported by a minimum of two scholarly sources beyond your course text. Use proper APA formatting for in-text citations and references.
DQ-3
Our health, or the absence of such, can be very expensive. Many vulnerable populations simply do not have private funds available to pay for their care. Relating your research to individuals with mental conditions, select a mental illness of your choice and discuss your response to the following questions:
· What public financing resources are available to individuals with this particular mental condition?
· What are the eligibility requirements and restrictions to receive these funds?
· What happens if eligibility standards/requirements are not met by those with this illness?
· Research and discuss two methods of alternative funding for care for this group. What are the benefits and limitations of the methods you discussed?

This document outlines a framework for conducting a child rights-based country context analysis. It discusses key definitions and international legal frameworks related to child rights. It then describes several tools and steps to integrate a child rights lens into development cooperation, including: [1] conducting a causal analysis to understand root, underlying and immediate causes of issues affecting children; [2] analyzing the roles, relationships, capacities and gaps of duty bearers and rights holders; and [3] examining the broader social, policy, legislative and budgetary issues that influence child rights. The overall aim is to accurately identify deprivations facing children, understand barriers to realizing their rights, and ensure the most marginalized children are prioritized in development efforts.

This document summarizes a presentation on using checklists to address racial disproportionality in special education. The presentation discusses three checklists that examine district resources, system policies/procedures, and environmental factors. Sample calculations are provided to analyze special education identification rates by race and poverty. The checklists are intended to help districts form hypotheses about contributing factors and choose appropriate remedies by considering multiple causes and data sources.
Social Protection
The document discusses social protection for children and characteristics of childhood poverty. It notes that childhood poverty is multidimensional and relates to risks in survival, development, protection and participation. Vulnerabilities can change over a child's life and are often compounded by risks faced by their caregivers. Social protection aims to enhance marginalized groups' social status, reduce economic and social vulnerabilities, and include protection, prevention and promotion. Broad social protection systems are needed as economic growth alone does not solve childhood poverty.
Social Protection
The document discusses social protection for children and the concept of childhood vulnerability. It notes that childhood poverty is multidimensional and relates to risks in survival, development, protection and participation. Vulnerability is also relational as children depend on caregivers, and can be compounded by the vulnerabilities those caregivers face. Social protection aims to enhance rights, reduce risks, and promote well-being through policy instruments like social transfers, insurance programs, services, and legislation. Broad social protection systems are needed as economic growth alone does not solve childhood poverty.

Aspirations and Poverty in Rural Ethiopia
The document summarizes research on aspirations and poverty in rural Ethiopia. It finds that poorer individuals and those in poorer communities tend to have lower aspirations. The researchers conducted a field experiment randomly assigning Ethiopian farmers to view documentaries about successful role models or a control. It found that viewing the documentaries led to small improvements in farmers' aspirations immediately and 6 months later. It also found small improvements in savings, credit use, school enrollment and spending, suggesting aspirations may influence behaviors. The results indicate aspirations could be a factor in poverty and that interventions may help raise aspirations and behaviors.

This week we explore the social-ecological model and the Swearer and Hymel (2015) article does a nice job of describing this model as applied to the problem of bullying. In working on your social change project this week you will be applying the social-ecological model to the topic you are addressing for your social change portfolio/project. The levels addressed in the social-ecological model in this article include individual, family, peer group, school, and community. Because of this specific topic, school is an important dimension. However, this dimension may not apply to your specific social change project depending on the target population. Thus, if "school" does not apply then you can simply have individual, family, peer group, and community. "Peer group" .

Running head: Abuse of Older Adults
Elder abuse is a continuous or a single act that occurs in a relationship where trust is expected but causes distress to later life of a person. Elder mistreatment entails psychological, physical, sexual, exploitation, abandonment and emotional abuse. The effects of abuse of older adults include nutrition and hydration problems, persistent physical pain and soreness, wounds and injuries. I will evaluate the issues associated with abuse of older adults and describe the changes in social policy that impacted how human service professional support this population in this paper. Furthermore, I will consider the needs of older adults and describe the types of service plans that can be created for victims of elder adult's abuse. A proposal of human service programs for elderly adults that experience elder abuse will be made as well as a description of how human service agencies can prevent future abuse of older adult’s thus promoting self-empowerment.
Issues associated with elder abuse are health status, cognitive ability, and social network. These problems are the major risk factors for abuse of older adults. Cognitive capacity is the ability of an individual to process information and solves problems. Older adults experience decreased information processing and problems solving skills as a result of declining cognitive flex.

Needs assessments are a form of research conducted to gather information about the needs of a population or a group in a community (Tutty & Rothery, 2010, p. 149). One purpose of a needs assessment is to explore in more depth whether a new program within an organization or agency is needed (Dudley, 2014, p. 117). Key questions of this type of needs assessment may revolve around: (1) whether there are enough prospective clients to warrant this type of program, (2) the different activities or programs that the respondents would be interested in using, priorities for some activities over others, (3) importance of the activities, and (4) times in which this program would be desired and used (Dudley, 2014, p. 117). Potential barriers for the implementation of a new program should also be assessed to ensure the best possible outcome. Some barriers to services could include factors such as: location, costs, potential need for fees, and possible psychological issues related to such things. The following is an assessment of an intensive outpatient program for youth, and a potential need that is currently being unmet.
Post a needs assessment plan for a potential program of your choice that meets a currently unmet need. Describe the unmet need and how current information supports your position that a needs assessment is warranted.
