Social media has grown to become an accepted business practice. Since social media worldview is evolving, the practice does not have standard practices like human resource management. A problematic area is the action of employees on social media. On the other hand, employers have certain responsibilities towards their employees. These concerns are regarding employer and employee ethics. Both employers and employees have certain obligations towards each other. This is even more relevant if the case relates to negative publicity. These boundaries related to speech and social media policies. The challenges can occur from the nature of the content. There are also privacy issues and time-related issues when employees are on company time or at home. At times, employees use their own devices to post content, and if the content is sensitive, it is a source of concern. Binder (2019) elaborates on the actions of employees and employers for social media actions. Employees could face disciplinary actions for their posts for private messages posted during their off time. On the other hand, Lam (2016) explains the main concerns for employers are: Discrimination Infringement on personal privacy Interference with employee rights The main finding is that social media has blurred the lines between work and private lives. As more stories emerge, new case laws are likely to evolve regarding the case for employment. The main challenges arise due to the lack of rules or standards for engagement on social media. Recent Events One of the stories is regarding the professor at the University of Tampa, Kenneth Storey. The professor got fired for commenting on Twitter, that the victims of Hurricane Harvey were suffering from the karma associated with voting Republican (Bell, 2018). Even though the professor had deleted the tweet, the message had gone viral. Similarly, there are issues for employers on when they can or they cannot fire an employee for their actions on social media. This story is about Adrianne Duane, who had posted two-star reviews for his employer on the review site Glassdoor (O'Connor, 2019). Though the ruling was in favor of the employer, the situation shows how legal problems can arise for employers. For employers, the issue can get more problematic if the employees are part of a union as explained. Thus, the cases show that social media posts can get problematic for employees as well as employers. Since there are no clear rules for engagement on social media, the role of intermediaries is becoming more common. Both employees and employers can take up the matter with counsel for review and guidance. Conclusion Employees can get into trouble for their actions or posts on social media, especially when the posts do not portray the employer in a good light.

1 BRIXX Fires Employee after Posting a Negative Comment on Facebook Yirou Xiao Professor Baker ENG3107 6/7/2020 BRIXX Fires Employee after Posting a Negative Comment on Facebook Introduction BRIXX Wood Fired Pizza is a restaurant operating in Charlotte, North Carolina. In May 2010, the restaurant faced a problem involving Ashley Johnson, a 22-year-old waiter who had posted a complaint on her Facebook account about a customer who had occupied a table for 3 hours and only left her a $5 tip. BRIXX resulted in firing the disgruntled employee. The solution of firing Ashley that BRIXX restaurant implemented to deal with employee negative communication on social media worked effectively because it helped the business salvage its image from possible backlash from the post while deterring its employees from engaging in such behavior in future. Evaluation of Solution At this age, social media has become such a powerful tool, and any organization cannot ignore its impact. Employers bear the responsibility of maintaining their organization's public image and reputation. As such, they are obligated to monitor their employees' behavior and actions that may compromise the reputation of their companies. We live in a world where the boundary between people's professional work and personal lives is blurry. Social media is a platform where employees communicate issues about their lives, which at times includes work-related issues that, at times, may have damaging effects on the organization. In retrospect, many organizations have resulted in enacting social media policies that prohibit their employees from posting work-related issues on their personal social media pages. BRIXX restaurant is one of the organizations with social media policies prohibiting employees from discussing work-related issues on social media. As such, firing Ashley was based on the restaurant's employee policy that forbids workers from posting negative comments about the organization on any social media pages. Ashley was bound by the stipulations of the contract she signed as an employee and was obligated to follow them to the latter. In its explanation of the firing, BRIXX's management emphasized that its social media policies prohibit its employees from disparaging their customers on social media platforms. Nonetheless, the decision to monitor employees' social media accounts is controversial. Many people argue that it contravenes with people's right to freedom of speech. However, it is important to note that the freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment guards against the intrusion of freedom of speech by the federal government and does not apply to private actors that include employers (Nagele-Piazza, 2018). Nevertheless, employees' right of speech is not eliminated fully, as the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) grants unionized and non-unionized workers the right to communicate about the terms and conditions of their employment (Nagele-Piazza, 201.

SOCIAL MEDIA USAGE IN WORKPLACE Name Institution Date Introduction Growth of social media use cannot be understated It has “changed the way we communicate Organizations can leverage opportunities arising from use of social media in workplace” The exploding growth of social media has significantly changed the way people communicate at home and at work. Social media applications include sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, Tumblr, Wikipedia, YouTube, Twitter, Yelp, Flickr, Snapchat, Instagram, Second Life, WordPress and ZoomInfo. Not only has social media changed the way we communicate, but these applications present great opportunities for businesses in the areas of public relations, internal and external communications, recruiting, organizational learning and collaboration, and more 2 Recruitment “Social media” acts as a networking tool Useful in mining talent Organizations can post job openings on their social media pages Active job seekers following the social media pages immediately notified (Holland, Cooper, & Hecker, 2016) Recruiters and staffing managers can make use of social media sites in mining of talent. They can also post for job openings available in the organization where by active job seekers can apply. 3 Recruitment issues Accessing protected information regarding applicants Possibility in violating fair credit reporting law Negligent hiring claims (Collins, Shiffman, & Rock, 2016) During screening and background checks staffing managers could learn information about a candidate in social media that may be used against the candidate. A candidate could claim that a potential employer did not offer a job because of information found on a social networking site, which discusses legally protected categories such as the candidate's race, ethnicity, age, associations, family relationships or political views. In avoiding such employers should avoid use of social media when screening. 4 Employee engagement Social media can be channeled to engage employees and connect them.

WRITER Social networking dilemma arises when the society is unable to contain the advantages and disadvantages of using social media which apparently occur simultaneously. The use of social media is raising so many ethical issues among them the privacy of one’s life. Social networking is the use of a dedicated application or website to reach a target audience, the main purpose being to communicate. The growing need for social networking is apparently raising the social dilemmas. The dilemmas include violation of privacy, bullying, misrepresentation, and creepiness just but a few. Invasion of privacy involves access to personal data either found on sites such as Facebook and even the data on bank cards. For the most part, the data is protected from unauthorized users, but the dilemma arises when the firm with which you have stored the information shares the data with other firms without your consent for marketing purposes. Such is the scenario where you begin to receive marketing features which relate to your spending pattern, which implies that there is a third party monitoring your transactions. This intrusion of privacy creates a pathway for continued bullying, misrepresentation, and creepiness. Businesses also experience the same challenge. But what can businesses do and how can they design approaches that regulate and control social networking dilemma to maintain ethics both in the business and in the society? This proposal, therefore, seeks to explain the ethical dilemma issues as well as bringing to perspective corrective measures to correct on social dilemma issue. Spamming too with the aim of promoting a certain link has the problem of increasing the risk of possible hacks. Twitter and Facebook are common means through which individuals and firms promote a product, but this feature is turning to be a passage where individuals can hack into people’s data. Therefore the communication process becomes threatened. Other risks include dishonesty and distortion, improper anonymity and distorted endorsement, opportunism, and misuse of free expertise and contests. The proposed solution to the social networking dilemma includes risk assessment, establishing policies and procedures, communication and education, monitoring an auditing and performing oversight role. Risk assessment in business and personal social networking will involve a review of the current social networking platforms and issues. This review will help to identify the recently introduced features and how they are being used. The reason being that the social media environment tends to change quickly, and as such, it is important to remain updated. Risk assessment also provides the person and the firm an idea of the possible risks that are associated with the use of social media. Policies act as a guide towards implementation of actions by employees especially in the use of social media because employees represent the face of the organization. Other ways in which the company .

Disadvantages of Social Media on Hiring Decisions Melissa Black, Robert Chiaramonte, Joseph Demarco, Emily Forella, Sara Gavette, Catherine Lacivita, Porsche Abernathy & Yessenia Ordonez October 16, 2016 Using social media in todays society can be almost unavoidable for many of us but sometimes our personal or private information can be used to represent us for hiring purposes. CareerBuilder’s annual social media survey found that of more than 2,000 hiring managers and HR professionals and more than 3,000 full-time U.S. workers, 60 percent of employers revealed they use social networking sites to research job candidates. Using a candidates’ social media can have disadvantages for recruiters and businesses alike because it can lead to discrimination, basis, or errors based on miss-representations of personal characteristics. With few laws regulating the usage of social media in probing prospective employees, one’s social media, can have a major impact on whether or not a candidate is hired. Using social media for screening potential candidates for jobs can be extremely risky. While it may have its advantages, employers also enter the risk of learning details about the employee such as if they are pregnant, disabled, their race, religion, and age which could detour them away from hiring an applicant. Throughout the hiring process within companies, many times, employers go to social media to find any information they can on this person. Essentially what these employers do is try to weed out anyone that they find could hurt their company or the environment within. “While much of the information contained on an applicant’s social media page will be benign, information regarding protected characteristics (e.g., religion, disabled status, sexual orientation, marital status, genetic information, etc.) often is prominently displayed in social media” (Morgan & Davis, 2013). Beginning in 2012 and throughout 2013, many states nationwide have passed laws that prohibit employers from requesting personal information that can allow access to a candidate’s personal social sites (Morgan & Davis, 2013). Delaware, Hawaii, Kansas, Maine, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Washington are a few states that have enforced these laws. There is one state in particular where it is illegal for an employer to screen their applicants through social media and that is Illinois. Screening applicants through social media could also lead to more lawsuits. For example, the University of Kentucky paid $125,000 for a lawsuit where a professor was not given a job because of his views that he expressed about evolution on social media and religious discrimination was the result of screening this applicant on social media. (Ruiz, 2016). In 2013, the Federal level had passed the Social Networking Online Protection Act which is an act that “would prohibit employers, schools and universities from requesting .

A care assistant is fired for posting insults about the elderly residents in her care and a waitress loses her job for posting a negative comment about customers – the number of firings related to employees’ use of Facebook is growing fast. They also highlight the increasingly blurred boundary between private and work life online. In an effort to help employers develop a fair and effective social media policy, the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) Social Media Council has published a white paper: ‘Staff Use of Social Media Policy – Legal Dimension’.

The research upon which this William Fry report is based was undertaken by Amárach Research. Two separate surveys were conducted, one among employers and one among employees of organisations operating in Ireland and of a size of 50 employees or more. A range of questions relating to social media in the workplace were asked of both groups to allow for an employer and employee perspective to be captured. A total of 200 employers were surveyed via telephone interviews and 500 employees were interviewed online. All interviewing was conducted in February 2013.

Running head: DIVERSITY MANAGEMENT PROJECT 1 Diversity Management Project 5 Topic Selection and Purpose Statement Student Name: Author Note This paper is being submitted on August 29, 2016 for Managing a Diverse Workforce Class, Section 06 Online Plus, 2016 Summer Mid-Quarter. Topic Selection and Purpose Statement Diversity Management Project- Workplace Discrimination Apple Inc. is an American multinational corporation having its headquarters in Cupertino, California in the United States. Apple is an organization that concentrates on the design and development of personal computers and other various associated electronic and software products such as the iPad and MP3 players. The main products that Apple is producing include the iPod, iPhone, iMac and even some of its latest technological evolution of iPad. The organization has been facing numerous lawsuits concerning discrimination in the workplace. Many cases of discrimination have been experienced within the workplace. Workplace discrimination and harassment is the treating, or purposing to treat an individual unfairly due to their colour, age, race, origin, gender, religious affiliation or even disability (Jackson, 2002). Apple Inc.’s workplace discrimination begun from the early stage of employment including the recruitment process based on the manner in which positions are advertised and how interviews are held, being given unfair employment terms and conditions, being left out of training opportunities, transfers, performance pay, performance pay or other benefits related to employment, and/or getting unfair dismissal, demotion or retrench. Apple has also been experiencing harassment in their workplace environment. For instance, sexual harassment is an unwelcoming behaviour of sexual context. Such behaviours can make an employee to feel intimidated, offended or humiliated. For example, an Apple employee filed a suit with the organization arguing that he was denied promotion due to racism. Andrew Dupree claimed that he was denied promotion at the Orlando Apple Store by the management who he calls racists. He confirmed that there was not a single black individual in management or leadership position at the store (Ryan, 2014). The management allegedly preferred white employees. Another recent case is where a lawyer with Apple was fired due to his Muslim faith. Apple’s workplace discrimination can have a devastating effect on the employees. With the widespread employee discrimination, trust within the organization breaks and employee morale reduces ultimately affecting the organization’s bottom line. If Apple Inc. does not handle the discrimination issues with immediate effect, it may decrease the productivity of employees. It is important to note that when an employee faces discrimination, he/she often feel helpless ...

Last weeks discussion and responses Problem Iris a 78-year-old divorced lady who lives alone and relies on a pension from the pace she used to work as an elementary teacher and the social security retirement benefits. Two years ago her husband divorced her for a younger woman and Iris was not blessed with any child. Iris is forgetful, old, and in need of someone to talk to despite claiming to be independent. Iris is also going through depression because of being divorced by her husband abruptly in the last two years and also because she misses her independence because she now needs to stay in a facility that can provide care for her as it gets harder for her to take care of herself. This paper will look into a policy that can help Iris control and take care of herself. Solution One of the ways of helping Iris is to provide a way in which she can have company. A policy that will provide or extend the civic engagement of adults will go a long way into helping Iris to extend her stay at the facility she was sent to. This policy should help improve her wellbeing because she feels loneliness because Iris is still dealing with the divorce, she went through which happened abruptly without warning. Policymakers should ensure this is considered so as to give her and other older people at the center time to heal and focus on their health rather than missing home (Zarbo, et al, 2017). The policy should also focus on restructuring health care systems so that those who receive low pensions and retirement benefits can get something that will help them receive proper medical aid. The medical care system should search for ways to increase financial incentives especially for those from low-income families so that they can be able to access medical aid that encompasses a variety of medications. For instance, Iris cannot use the money she gets as a pension to pay for all her medical bills as well as the bills waiting for her at home because she obviously left a house when s.

SOCW 6311 wk 6 Discussion: Program Evaluation: Benefits and Concerns of Stakeholders All questions in bold then answers 300 to 500 words without questions Dudley (2014) points out that social work practice is usually embedded in programs. While you looked at practice evaluation using single-subject design in Week 3, this week, you shift focus to program evaluation. Program evaluation serves many purposes, including accountability to funders and to the public. Often, funding sources such as government agencies or private foundations requires periodic program evaluations. These evaluations can help provide answers to many different questions, and can contribute to improvement of services. There are a variety of program evaluation models that are appropriate for addressing different questions as well as facilitating the collection and analysis of many different types of data. To prepare for this Discussion, identify a program within an agency with which you are familiar, which could benefit from process evaluation and outcome evaluation. You do not need to identify the agency in your post. Also, review the different evaluation models highlighted in this week’s resources ( needs assessment, program monitoring, client satisfaction study, outcome evaluation, or cost benefit study). Post a brief summary of the program that you selected. I live in Tacoma Washington I work for CHI Hospice and intern at Sound options elderly care This is social work Recommend a program evaluation model that would answer a question relevant to the program. Explain the potential benefits of the program evaluation that you proposed (both process and outcome). Identify 2–3 concerns that stakeholders might have about your proposed evaluation and how you would address those concerns.

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.

SOCW 6311 wk 8 Assignment: Planning a Needs Assessment II One of the many reasons social workers conduct needs assessment is to provide support for new programs. Social workers have many methods available to collect necessary data for a needs assessment. Social workers can use existing data from a wide range of sources, including local and national reports by government and nonprofit agencies, as well as computerized mapping resources. Social workers can gather new data through interviews and surveys with individuals and focus groups. This data can provide the evidence that supports the need for the program. To prepare for this Assignment, review the needs assessment plans that you and your classmates generated for this week’s Discussion. Also, review the logic models that you created in Week 7 and any literature on needs of caregivers that you used to generate them. Consider the following to stimulate your thinking: Getting information about the needs of the target population: Who would informants be? What is your purpose for interacting with them? What questions would you ask? What method would you use (interview, focus group, questionnaire)? Finding potential clients: Who would informants be? What is your purpose for interacting with them? What questions would you ask? What method would you use? Interacting with the target population: Who would informants be? What is your purpose for interacting with them? What questions would you ask? What method would you use? Submit a 2- to 3-page paper outlining a hypothetical needs assessment related to the support group program for caregivers. Include the following: The resources needed to operate this service The program activities The desired outcomes A plan for gathering information about the population served Justifications for your plans and decisions A one-paragraph conclusion describing how you might conduct a follow-up to the needs assessment at the implementation stage of the program evaluation Resources Dudley, J.

SOCW 6311 wk 6 assignment: Developing a Program Evaluation To ensure the success of a program evaluation, a social worker must generate a specific detailed plan. That plan should describe the goal of the evaluation, the information needed, and the methods and analysis to be used. In addition, the plan should identify and address the concerns of stakeholders. A social worker should present information about the plan in a manner that the stakeholders can understand. This will help the social worker receive the support necessary for a successful evaluation. To prepare for this Assignment, identify a program evaluation you would like to conduct for a program with which you are familiar. Consider the details of the evaluation, including the purpose, specific questions to address, and type of information to collect. Then, consider the stakeholders that would be involved in approving that evaluation. Review the resources for samples of program evaluations.

The quote I selected to analyze for this discussion post is: “[The homeless shelter administrator] told me I would find a place [through a subsidized program] if I work with them. And they did find me a lot of places, but I didn’t want to go, because [those] SROs they have now are really nasty. Really tore up, tore down. Syringes in the bathroom. Blood on the toilet. Because you use the same toilet that everybody else uses. So it wasn’t sanitized. So I didn’t want to go. And I found the Martin Hotel and I went in and it was a really clean, nice place. So I went back to [the shelter] and I asked them ‘Can you please get me a place inside that hotel?’ They said that would be cool, they would work on it. And within two, three weeks I had a place at the Martin.” (Knight, Lopez, Comfort, Shumway, Cohen, & Riley, 2014). This quote reflects a woman who expressed her need and desire to have an SRO that met her mental health needs. Rather than accepting the first available room, she chose to work with the shelter administrator to find a more suitable place. This quote depicts the impact that an SRO can have on a woman’s mental health and how the environment can exacerbate their physical and emotional health. Discuss how this would specifically inform one intervention recommendation you would make for social work practice with the homeless. This recommendation can be on the micro, meso.

Your response References Your response PEER 1 McKenna Bull RE: Discussion - Week 4 Post an interpretation of the case study’s conclusion that “the vocational rehabilitation intervention program may be effective at promoting full-time employment.” The design described in this particular case study seeks to assess the effectiveness of a new vocational rehabilitation program for recently paroled prison inmates (Plummer, Makris and Brocksen, 201, p. 63). In order to evaluate this program, the evaluators implemented a quasi-experimental research design. In this design, participants are not randomly assigned to conditions or orders of conditions (Price et al., 2016). Ultimately, quasi-experimental research involves the manipulation of an independent variable without the random assignments of participants to conditions or orders of conditions (Price et al., 2016). It seems that this design is specifically more of a “nonequivalent” design. As they have two subject groups essentially, those 30 who are able to immediately participate in the program (“intervention” group) and the other 30 who are on the wait list (“comparison” group). Based on the data presented, it seems that there may be some statistically significant relation between the independent variable (vocational rehabilitation intervention) and the dependent variable (employment). It’s important to note the use of “may” in “the vocational rehabilitation intervention program may be effective at promoting full-time employment…”. It is nearly impossible to “prove” a cause and effect relationship in regards to research in the social work field, due to humanistic components of the studies, and other aspects that may be out of the control of the researcher. The researchers were able to include the outcome .

For this assignment, I have chosen the Time-Series Design. I chose this design as it is still a quasi-experimental design but also has several pre-test and post-test outcome measures. It involves obtaining several client outcome measures before the introduction of intervention and several additional measures after the intervention has been implemented (Dudley, 2014). One benefit of this design is the data trends can help determine the extent to which the intervention, as opposed to external outside factors is the “causal agent” (Dudley, 2014). Then, generate criteria to be measured using the research design by identifying a specific outcome and a method for measuring that outcome. Specify who will collect the data and how the data will be collected. By using a single system design (SSD) as an evaluation tool to measure whether there is a causal relationship between the practitioner’s intervention and a client’s outcome then adjustments to treatment delivery can be made intermittently prior to termination of services.

IT does not have to be long but has to in text citation and full references MY POST SummerLove Holcomb RE: Discussion - Week 1 Top of Form The Characteristics of the evidence-based practice (EBP) The evidence-based program is defined as the programs that are effective and this is based on the rigorous assessment. One of the key features of EBP is that they have been assessed thoroughly in an experimental or quasi-experimental study. The evaluation of the EBP has been subjected to critical peer review and this implies that a conclusion has been reached by the evaluation experts. The EBP requires the ability to differentiate between the unverified opinions concerning the psychosocial interventions and the facts about their effectiveness. It is involving the process of inquiry that is provided to the practitioners and described for the physicians. This is important in integrating the best evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values as well as the situations that are linked to the management of the patient, management of the practice, and health policy decision-making processes (Small & O'Connor, 2007). The assessment of the factors that are supporting or impeding the adoption of the evidence-based practice Several factors are associated with the failure to the successful adoption of EBP. The implementation of EBP for example in healthcare facilities requires the dedication of time. Therefore, lack of adequate time for the training and implementation of the EBP makes it hard to adopt it within the facility. The adoption of evidence-based practice also requires adequate resources. This, therefore, implies that there must be adequate resources to facilitate the effective implementation and the adoption of the EBP. This, therefore, implies that smaller organizations with unstable capital income might not adopt the EBP. Another barrier is the inability to understand the statistical terms or the jargons used in the EBP. This leads to barriers in understanding thus making it hard to implement the EBP (Duncombe, 2018). Therefore, the factors that might support the implementation of the EBP are the availability of resources and adequate time. References Duncombe, D. C. (2018).

SOCW 6311 Week 3 Discussion: Choosing and Using Single-System Design Many people receive their first introduction to the scientific method in their early school years. The first experiments which students undertake typically involve plants, chemicals, or small animals in a tightly controlled experimental environment. These experiments enable students to establish a relatively clear cause-and-effect relationship between the outcome of the experiment and the manipulation of the variables. As soon as a researcher introduces a human element, proving a cause and effect relationship becomes more difficult—as the researcher cannot enact total control of another person even in an experimental environment. Social workers serve clients in highly complex real-world environments. Clients often implement recommended interventions outside of social workers’ direct observation. Yet, evidence-based research calls for social workers to establish cause-and-effect relations between selected interventions and client outcomes as much possible. To meet this challenge, social workers must understand the study designs available to them and all of the variations of that design that can increase the rigor of the experiment and improve the likelihood of verifying a cause-and-effect relationship. In this week’s case study, you decide whether the social worker in the case study has appropriately chosen a single-system (subject) design and implemented it in such a way that it can be considered an appropriate example of evidence-based research. To prepare for this Discussion, read the case study Social Work Research: Single Subject and criteria for using single-system (subject) designs as evidence of effective practices in this week’s resources. Consider whether the study design described in the case study will serve the purpose of evaluating the program’s practice approach (case management with solution-focused and task-centered approaches). Consider whether these approaches are well suited to evaluation by the types of measurement used in the study. Consider to what objective measurement the numerical scales used to measure problem-change and task completion corresponds. Consider what new knowledge and evidence for the efficacy of the treatment approaches Chris has generated with her study. Provide a 300-word Discussion Post: - An evaluation of the proposed study design described in the case study below. - Explain whether the outcome of Chris’ study with her client George would lead you to adopt the model of case management with solution-focused and task-centered approaches, and substantiate your choice. - Provide recommendations for improvements should Chris and her colleagues wish to submit the study to the evidence-based practice registry. Include rationale for your recommendations. Must contain at least 3 references and citations form the following materials. Required Readings Dudley, J. R. (2014).

SOCW 6210 Week 7. Discussion: Psychological Aspects of Aging Week 7: Psychological Aspects of Later Adulthood Individuals in later adulthood address developmental tasks that are unique to their life-span phase, and many of these tasks "are psychological in nature" (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2016, p. 657). Many aspects of living as an older adult may differ significantly from what an individual experienced in an earlier phase of his or her life-span. For example, changes in older individuals' income, living arrangements, social connections, and physical strength may influence how they view themselves, interact with others, and think about their futures. This week, as we explore the psychological aspects of later adulthood, we consider theories of successful aging and their application to social work practice. We also consider how you might apply models of grieving to support families in a hospice environment when an aging family member approaches death. Theories of successful aging explain factors that support individuals as they grow old, contributing to their ability to function. Increasing your understanding of factors that support successful aging improves the ability to address the needs of elderly clients and their families. To prepare for this Discussion, review this week's media. In addition, select a theory of successful aging to apply to Sara's case. Post a Discussion in which you: · Explain key life events that have influenced Sara's relationships. Be sure to substantiate what makes them key in your perspective. · Explain how you, as Sara's social worker, might apply a theory of successful aging to her case. Be sure to provide support for your strategy. Proper English with no run-on sentences is an absolute requirement! The paper must contain 3 references and citations.

SOCW 6210 Week 6 discussion post responses. Respond to the colleagues posts in one of the following ways: · From a strength's perspective, critique your colleague's approach to addressing Francine's case. Provide support for your critique. · Critique your colleague's strategy for applying knowledge of the aging process to work with older clients. Discuss how cultural, ethnic, and societal influences might affect the application of this strategy. · At least one reference and citation is required in each post. SR’s post states the following:Top of Form As a group, LGBT older adults experience unique economic and health disparities. LGBT older adults may disproportionately be affected by poverty and physical and mental health conditions due to a lifetime of unique stressors associated with being a minority and may be more vulnerable to neglect and mistreatment in aging care facilities (American, 2019). In the case of Francine (Plummer, 2014) she is a 70-year-old Catholic woman, who personally identifies as a lesbian. She never felt comfortable actually “coming out” due to the environment she grew up in. Both in the era, she grew up in and the strict Catholic belief she was raised in is against homosexual nature she felt it wasn’t appropriate to discuss. As she got older and experienced the loss of her partner, she felt those who cared about her felt she should not mourn her loss so hard. It could have been due to her never admitting who her partner really was, or the common mindset of those around her. It could affect how she viewed her life and what she should do as an older adult in her sexual life. Environmental factors influence the aging process. Being physically and mentally active tends to slow down the aging process. Inactivity speeds it up. A positive outlook (positive thinking) tends to slow down the aging process. Insecurity, the lack of someone to talk to, negative thinking, and being in a strange environment tend to accelerate the aging process (Zastrow, 2016). In Francine’s case, the loss of her loved one and retirement has affected her outlook. She feels sad and isolated, it has taken its toll and that can progress the effects of ages. Once she gained a support system she was able to increase her activity and her mental stability changed. As a worker, I would use the understanding that environmental factors and personal views can affect a client and manifest as an aging process. I would help Francine by using cognitive reasoning to help her accept her life and make changes that make her happy. While morning her loved one is appropriate, helping herself is as well. The notion that there is a general intellectual decline in old age is largely incorrect. Most intellectual abilities hold up well with age. While older people show a decline in performance on IQ tests, their actual intellectual competence may not be declining (Zastrow, 2016). A strategy I might use in applying my knowledge of the aging process in social work practice.

SOCW 6200: Human Behavior and the Social Environment I Discussion 1: Moral Development Theory and Bullying Bullying is not a new phenomenon, but social media and communication technologies have introduced a breadth and depth to which public shaming, targeted taunting, and bullying have manifested. For this Discussion, consider how bullying has changed and how it has remained the same in light of modern technology. Post an explanation of one moral development theory and its connection to the act of bullying. Be sure to frame your explanation within the context of cyber and other bullying that persists in social media and communication technologies used by adolescents. Also explain how bullying has changed and how it has remained the same in light of modern technology. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer. Discussion 2: Bullying: Cycle of Events Bearing witness to trauma has its own set of consequences. Watching repeated episodes of bullying can evoke strong emotional and behavioral responses from an adolescent. During the impressionable stage of social development in adolescents, these experiences can contribute to a change in perception about the ways people should and do treat each other. Furthermore, ongoing exposure to this behavior can jeopardize an adolescent’s healthy social development. For this Discussion, consider how the act of bullying experienced by one adolescent may change the experience of another who witnesses it. Post a scenario that illustrates how bullying experienced by one adolescent may change the experience of another who witnesses it. Then address the availability of any social work intervention, skill, or practice that might change this cycle of events. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer.

SOCW 6200: Human Behavior and the Social Environment I Week 10 Project: Bio-Psycho-Social Assessment Assessing a client’s biological, psychological, and social history is a holistic approach that is an essential aspect of social work practice. Since one area often affects the other two, it is important to get as accurate an assessment as possible when working with a client. Social workers use the bio-psycho-social tool to communicate specific information, and possible conclusions, about a client to other professionals. It is, at once, a summary of current issues and problems; a listing of past factors that may be relevant to the current situation; and a description of potential issues that may have an effect on the client in the future. In addition to describing the client’s challenges and problems, the assessment identifies strengths and assets that are available to provide support. For this Project you create a bio-psycho-social assessment. By Day 7 Submit 9 -page paper that focuses on an adolescent from one of the case studies presented in this course. For this Project, complete a bio-psycho-social assessment and provide an analysis of the assessment. This Project is divided into two parts: Part A: Bio-Psycho-Social Assessment: The assessment should be written in professional language and include sections on each of the following: Presenting issue (including referral source) Demographic information Current living situation Birth and developmental history School and social relationships Family members and relationships Health and medical issues (including psychological and psychiatric functioning, substance abuse) Spiritual development Social, community, and recreational activities Client strengths, capacities, and resources Part B: Analysis of Assessment. Address each of the following: Explain the challenges faced by the client(s)—for example, drug addiction, lack of basic needs, victim of abuse, new school environment, etc. Analyze how the social environment affects the client. Identify which human behavior or social theories may guide your practice with this individual and explain how these theories inform your assessment. Explain how you would use this assessment to develop mutually agreed-upon goals to be met in order to address the presenting issue and challenges face by the client. Explain how you would use the identified strengths of the client(s) in a treatment plan. Explain how you would use evidence-based practice when working with this client and recommend specific intervention strategies (skills, knowledge, etc.) to address the presenting issue. Analyze the ethical issues present in the case. Explain how will you address them. Describe the issues will you need to address around cultural competence. Grading Criteria Rubric Detail.
