SOCI 212 – Social Problems
American Public University System
Assignment 1: the sociological viewpoint toward social problems (Due Week 2)
CLICK HERE for HW1 GUIDELINES
Overview
One of the most crucial components to this course concerns addressing social problems in society from a sociological viewpoint as opposed to a strictly policy-oriented, psychological, or criminal justice viewpoint. Although many different viewpoints in social science are valid and have a lot of importance, it is equally important for us to understand how sociology looks at the nature of social problems in society today. This paper will enable us to explore why certain social problems seem to be regarded as more significant than others. Our job will be in defining the sociological viewpoint, and choosing one social problem that we think is of high importance. We will build upon the topic we choose in this paper for our second and third writing assignments.
Instructions
Construct a 2-4 page paper that fully explores each of the following areas:
1)
Citing our textbook material, explain how the sociological approach toward social problems differs from other approaches. Why are certain problems considered significant and others are not?
2)
Next, choose one social problem that exists in society that you think is particularly serious, and explain it in sociological terms. This social problem should be measurable in some statistical way. (Is it increasing, and if so, how? Among which groups of people, and for how long, etc.?)
3)
What might be one important way in which the social problem is currently being addressed in society?
4)
Please define and identify at least four concepts from our text relevant to your chosen social problem.
5)
Analyze the way in which these concepts help us better understand the nature of the social problem you are discussing.
Don’t forget to include proper APA-style citation and reference. (Assignment One is worth 10% of the total grade.)
Due by 11:55 pm ET, Sunday of Week 2 – submit using link in Sakai.
The paper should be typed, double-spaced, 1” margins, arial or times new roman 11 pt font, and saved as .doc, .rtf or .pdf in the format: lastname_SOCI212_HW1.doc

OverviewOur first writing assignment centered upon the definition .docx
Overview
Our first writing assignment centered upon the definition of the sociological viewpoint toward social problems, and an identification of a social problem that we felt was one of the most significant in society. For this next paper, we will expand upon our understanding of the social problem through analyzing the organizations that are committed to addressing it. For example, with respect to the problems of homelessness, we see a variety of local and national level organizations that seek to enable people the opportunity to have permanent housing. Habitat for Humanity would be an excellent example of an organization that deals with such a concern. In the same sense, we may look at the Salvation Army as a type of organization committed to helping impoverished people, or people recently released from prison or drug treatment, to find gainful employment and reclaim a quality-of-life. Your job in this paper will be to do your own independent research on two organizations that are committed to the social problem chosen in the first writing assignment. This will ultimately lead to our final paper in which we’ll examine the future of the social problem.
Instructions
Construct a 2-4 page paper that fully satisfies these two areas:
Based upon your topic chosen in the first assignment, or based upon an entirely new topic of your choice, describe two organizations (Feel free to do your own independent research on these organizations) that is seeking to address this social problem. (1-2 pages).
Note: If you do change topics please get prior approval from you instructor.
Analyze two major ways that each organization is addressing the social problem you have mentioned. For example, are they helping to create homeless shelters, are they helping people receive drug treatment, or are they working with state and local authorities to curb suffering in some area?
Use at least four concepts or theories from our text (not used in our first assignment) for each organization. Don’t forget to include proper APA-style citation and reference. (worth 10% of total grade).
Due on by midnight the Sunday of Week 5 – submit using link in Sakai.
The paper should be typed, double-spaced, 1” margins, arial or times new roman 11 pt font, and saved as .doc, .rtf or .pdf in the format: lastname_SOCI212_HW2.doc

The study of social movement reflects the social issues in differe.docx
The study of social movement reflects the social issues in different periods have faced. This work will focus on the Abolition Movement and the Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) social movements. Social movement are a result of general public consensus towards dealing with major social issues in the community. This work will study the historical background and ideals that supported the development of these two social movement. This is intended to show the correlation between their emergence and the key social issues that the community faced.The Abolition Movement emerged in an effort to end slavery in the country. It held that all people are created equal, and hence the practice of slavery was unacceptable. This movement existed in the 19th century when many people started publicly displaying dissatisfaction for the slavery practices in the country. It placed more pressure on the authorities to outlaw slavery (Martos, Wilson & Meyer, 2017). It would allow for increased debate about segregation and discrimination. The LGBT movement is much more recent. It was started with the goal of affording members of the LGBT community with the same rights and recognition of heterosexual members of the community. For many generations, people categorized as LGBT were shunned and discriminated against. This movement intended to overcome these limitations set on the community members. It was motivated by the need to end widespread homophobic, transphobic and biphobic attitudes in the American community (Lysack, 2012).It is interesting to observe these roles that these social movements played in American history. It is especially interesting to know how each relates to the social issues that affected the American public at different times in the country’s history.

The five major perspectives of modern psychology are important to understand because they are
central to other key concepts and theories throughout the course. For example, you will learn
about them again in our discussion about personality and psychological disorders.
While we read about the major perspectives of contemporary psychology in a textbook, these
perspectives are also applicable to our everyday lives. Describe in detail a current event or a well-
known topic of public interest that you find fascinating or intriguing. Then, choose at least two-three
of the major perspectives (neuroscience, psychodynamic, humanistic, behavioral or cognitive) and
discuss how they might provide insight into your chosen current event or well-known topic. Ensure
that you make clear connections between your current event or well-known topic and the major
perspectives you have chosen. Creativity is encouraged!
Some examples of major topic areas you could research further include: politics, social issues,

Overview
One of the most crucial components to this course concerns addressing social problems in society from a sociological viewpoint as opposed to a strictly policy-oriented, psychological, or criminal justice viewpoint. Although many different viewpoints in social science are valid and have a lot of importance, it is equally important for us to understand how sociology looks at the nature of social problems in society today. This paper will enable us to explore why certain social problems seem to be regarded as more significant than others. Our job will be in defining the sociological viewpoint, and choosing one social problem that we think is of high importance. We will build upon the topic we choose in this paper for our second and third writing assignments.
Instructions
Construct a 2-4 page paper that fully explores each of the following areas:
1)
Citing our textbook material, explain how the sociological approach toward social problems differs from other approaches. Why are certain problems considered significant and others are not?
2)
Next, choose one social problem that exists in society that you think is particularly serious, and explain it in sociological terms. This social problem should be measurable in some statistical way. (Is it increasing, and if so, how? Among which groups of people, and for how long, etc.?)
3)
What might be one important way in which the social problem is currently being addressed in society?
4)
Please define and identify at least four concepts from our text relevant to your chosen social problem.
5)
Analyze the way in which these concepts help us better understand the nature of the social problem you are discussing.
Don’t forget to include proper APA-style citation and reference. (Assignment One is worth 10% of the total grade.)
Due by 11:55 pm ET, Sunday of Week 2 – submit using link in Sakai.
The paper should be typed, double-spaced, 1” margins, arial or times new roman 11 pt font, and saved as .doc, .rtf or .pdf in the format: lastname_SOCI212_HW1.doc

OverviewOur first writing assignment centered upon the definition .docx
Overview
Our first writing assignment centered upon the definition of the sociological viewpoint toward social problems, and an identification of a social problem that we felt was one of the most significant in society. For this next paper, we will expand upon our understanding of the social problem through analyzing the organizations that are committed to addressing it. For example, with respect to the problems of homelessness, we see a variety of local and national level organizations that seek to enable people the opportunity to have permanent housing. Habitat for Humanity would be an excellent example of an organization that deals with such a concern. In the same sense, we may look at the Salvation Army as a type of organization committed to helping impoverished people, or people recently released from prison or drug treatment, to find gainful employment and reclaim a quality-of-life. Your job in this paper will be to do your own independent research on two organizations that are committed to the social problem chosen in the first writing assignment. This will ultimately lead to our final paper in which we’ll examine the future of the social problem.
Instructions
Construct a 2-4 page paper that fully satisfies these two areas:
Based upon your topic chosen in the first assignment, or based upon an entirely new topic of your choice, describe two organizations (Feel free to do your own independent research on these organizations) that is seeking to address this social problem. (1-2 pages).
Note: If you do change topics please get prior approval from you instructor.
Analyze two major ways that each organization is addressing the social problem you have mentioned. For example, are they helping to create homeless shelters, are they helping people receive drug treatment, or are they working with state and local authorities to curb suffering in some area?
Use at least four concepts or theories from our text (not used in our first assignment) for each organization. Don’t forget to include proper APA-style citation and reference. (worth 10% of total grade).
Due on by midnight the Sunday of Week 5 – submit using link in Sakai.
The paper should be typed, double-spaced, 1” margins, arial or times new roman 11 pt font, and saved as .doc, .rtf or .pdf in the format: lastname_SOCI212_HW2.doc

The study of social movement reflects the social issues in differe.docx
The study of social movement reflects the social issues in different periods have faced. This work will focus on the Abolition Movement and the Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) social movements. Social movement are a result of general public consensus towards dealing with major social issues in the community. This work will study the historical background and ideals that supported the development of these two social movement. This is intended to show the correlation between their emergence and the key social issues that the community faced.The Abolition Movement emerged in an effort to end slavery in the country. It held that all people are created equal, and hence the practice of slavery was unacceptable. This movement existed in the 19th century when many people started publicly displaying dissatisfaction for the slavery practices in the country. It placed more pressure on the authorities to outlaw slavery (Martos, Wilson & Meyer, 2017). It would allow for increased debate about segregation and discrimination. The LGBT movement is much more recent. It was started with the goal of affording members of the LGBT community with the same rights and recognition of heterosexual members of the community. For many generations, people categorized as LGBT were shunned and discriminated against. This movement intended to overcome these limitations set on the community members. It was motivated by the need to end widespread homophobic, transphobic and biphobic attitudes in the American community (Lysack, 2012).It is interesting to observe these roles that these social movements played in American history. It is especially interesting to know how each relates to the social issues that affected the American public at different times in the country’s history.

The five major perspectives of modern psychology are important to understand because they are
central to other key concepts and theories throughout the course. For example, you will learn
about them again in our discussion about personality and psychological disorders.
While we read about the major perspectives of contemporary psychology in a textbook, these
perspectives are also applicable to our everyday lives. Describe in detail a current event or a well-
known topic of public interest that you find fascinating or intriguing. Then, choose at least two-three
of the major perspectives (neuroscience, psychodynamic, humanistic, behavioral or cognitive) and
discuss how they might provide insight into your chosen current event or well-known topic. Ensure
that you make clear connections between your current event or well-known topic and the major
perspectives you have chosen. Creativity is encouraged!
Some examples of major topic areas you could research further include: politics, social issues,

Minimum of 4 outside scholarly sources
Instructions
In this week's lesson, you learned about the U.S. Census
Bureau's most recent racial and ethnic categories. For this
assignment, consider the racial and ethnic categories used in
the 2010 Census with the four racial, ethnic, and gender
categories used in the 1790 Census: Free white males, free
white females, all other free persons, slaves (Pew Research
Center, 2015). Analyze the concepts of race, ethnicity, and
gender as social constructs, just as sociologists do, by
addressing the following:
1. Explain how you might have been categorized by the
1790 Census and how you would have been
categorized by the 2010 Census.
2. Compare and contrast the two potential categorizations
and explain how this exercise shows that the concepts
of race, ethnicity, and even gender change over time.
Most importantly, explain how this exercise shows that
the concepts of race, ethnicity, and gender are social
constructs.
3. Determine and describe what ethnic, racial, and/or
gender categories, if any, would be best, in your view,
for the 2020 Census or the 2030 Census, to most
accurately show the diversity of the U.S. population.
What categories would be best to reveal the segments
of the U.S. population most vulnerable to racial, ethnic,
and/or gender inequalities or discrimination? What
categories could be listed in the 2020 Census or the
2030 Census that might best educate the U.S.
population on differences between race and ethnicity?
Explain your decisions.
Include headings for each of the three main sections of the
paper:
What the Census Might Have Called Me
Social Constructs
Better Future Census Categories
Each of the three main sections of your paper must contain
scholarly support in the form of quotes or paraphrases with
respective citations from assigned reading (the

The document provides a sample argument form intended to convince a friend named Alex to go hiking with the speaker. The three premises are: 1) Alex has been stressed and hiking reduces stress, 2) the weather that weekend is suitable for hiking, and 3) Alex's New Year's resolution was to do more things outside her comfort zone. The conclusion is that Alex should go hiking that weekend. The explanation notes that the speaker wants to address Alex's reasons for not wanting to go by suggesting premises that will alleviate her concerns about stress from work, disliking extreme temperatures, and giving up on her resolution. The premises are meant to logically lead Alex to the desired conclusion of agreeing to go hiking.

Journal Guidelines and Rubric
Guidelines
The journal is to be an example of the student’s ability to write and analyze the material he or she is
reading. An attempt should be made to integrate material from the myriad of books and notes in this
course.
Journal entries should be made for each of the seven major world religions considered. Your journal
should contain complete sentences and be grammatically correct. While you are reading, write down what
goes on in your head in "stream of consciousness" style in the margins of your book, in a notebook, or in
a computer file. You will be making a record of images, associations, feelings, thoughts, judgments, etc.
You will probably find that the record contains:
Questions that you ask yourself about the narrative and events as you read (answer these
yourself when you can).
Memories from your own experiences provoked by the reading.
Guesses about how the text might proceed and why.
Reflections on striking moments and ideas in the book.
Comparisons between how you behave and how the author describes actions and behavior.
Thoughts and feelings about content.
Comments on how the story is being told. For example, write any words and phrases that make
an impression on you, or motifs/themes which you notice the author using.
Connections to other texts, ideas, and courses.
A journal entry consists of two parts:
1. The first part is a direct quotation of the part you noted from the text, copied word for word,
and enclosed in quotation marks. Be sure to include the author's last name and the page number
of the quotation in parentheses after the quotation. MLA format requires that you use the last
name, a space, and then the number, e.g., (Ludwig 89).
2. The second part of the journal entry is a paragraph that explains why you found the passage
to be important or interesting. Sometimes students ask questions about the reading, or they
explain it, or relate to it in some way. Whatever you do, do not simply summarize the contents
of the passage. Instead, go beyond it somehow, analyze it, offer thoughts about why it seems
important to you or to others. In essence, by writing about the importance of the passage, you will
give it meaning.
It is also helpful to explain what is going on in the text at the time of the passage (the context). Some
students like to write (1) what is happening in the story, (2) what the passage says, and (3) why the
passage is important or interesting. This structure is not necessary, but sometimes it helps you organize
your responses.
The quality of your thinking and the energy with which you attempt to analyze your reading are the most
important aspects of this assignment!

OLCU 350 Leadership and Professional Ethics
Personal Ethical Decision Making Framework Assignment Due Week 3
You will write a 3 – 5 page paper in APA format describing your own ethical framework. You will describe the principles and values that are
part of your framework, as well as the major theory or theories from the textbook (e.g., Kohlberg’s theory of moral development, Ajzen’s
theory of planned behavior, etc,) which inform your framework.
Ethical Framework
An ethical framework is a decision-making model that outlines step-by-step
processes for reaching ethical decisions. A framework for ethical decision-
making addresses the “how” not the “what” of ethical decisions. It reflects
the process of ethical decision-making. It will be similar to a decision-
making framework but must include specific ethical considerations. Ethical
frameworks frequently take the form of a series of questions such as, “How
would I want someone else to act in this situation?” “How would my
behavior be judged by my mother/father/children?” “What is the greatest
good in this situation?” “What values are represented by this decision?”
Your paper should include the following elements:
DEFINE: Define an ethical framework and its usefulness to you.
DESCRIBE: Describe your ethical framework and how you developed it.
PERSONAL APPLICATION:
o What do you base your ethical framework on? It could be based on:
Religious convictions
Ideologies (such as justice, democracy or Confucianism),
Your personal values and ethical principles
ANALYZE: How does it compare or contrast with the major theories presented in the textbook?
SYNTHESIZE: How does your personal ethical framework influence your ethical reasoning and decision-making and behavior?
EVALUATE: Conclusion - What are your final conclusions about your ethical framework and its usefulness?

WRITING #1.0: Comparative Analysis Paper

Spring 2015
SYNOPSIS OF TASK
Americans love independence. It is at the very core of the nation’s foundations. Many of our
most cherished ideals come from individuality and the right to choose our own path in life.
Rebels and outlaws can become innovators and icons. Despite this, we also share a great love
for being a part of something bigger. Americans also have a great desire to fit in and belong.
Being outside the norm, in any way, carries with it the possibility being ostracized. It comes as
no surprise then, that these conflicting ideals can cause a lot of problems for people. This
struggle between conformity and rebellion is a popular topic for writers. The works listed below
all discuss this broad topic in one way or another
Battle Royal by Ralph Ellison 283-294
The Lottery by Shirley Jackson 415-421
Two Kinds by Amy Tan 636-643
“The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost 811
“Barbie Doll” by Marge Piercy 1023
“We Real Cool” by Gwendolyn Brooks 732
“The Man He Killed” by Thomas Hardy 689
“Dulce et Decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen 909
“The Soldier” by Rupert Brooke 910
“Harlem” by Langston Hughes 762
“The Unknown Citizen” by W. H. Auden (http://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/unknown-
citizen)
For this assignment, using at least four of the works listed above, you will write a paper that
compares what the writers say, and then (briefly) comment on what the writers say in your
conclusion.
In other words, by your paper will (1) identify and summarize essential points made by the
writers and (2) compare/contrast those points, based on what the writers argue. Such analysis of
sources is a common practice both in college writing and in the writing of scholars. Your
“commenting” will occur in the conclusion, where you can evaluate the strengths and/or
weaknesses of the authors’ arguments. You will give no evaluation in the paper prior to
this point.
The completed paper will be 3-4 pages in length (double spaced and not including the works
cited page)
SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE TASK.
Probably the most difficult part of your task for this paper will be the connections you make
among the articles you choose. These primary connections (“themes,” “points,” “ideas”) will, of
course, represent what is in the articles, but making such connections is a matter of your
input: your accurate, insightful reading, interpretation, and analysis. Although you will
need to reproduce accurately what is in the articles, your paper’s real success lies in how
insightful your connections are among the four articles. Try to find areas in which the works
share a common ground, as well as looking for ways in which they are different from each
other. All the works have something to say about rebellion, conformity, or both. No two works
say the exact same thing, nor do they say similar things in the exact same w.

Definitions and summarization.docx
This document discusses definitions, summarization, and answering discussion questions related to a case study about a man named John who experienced homelessness, mental health issues, and barriers to healthcare access. Students are prompted to choose two discussion questions to answer, with at least three scholarly sources cited. The questions explore what events led to John's downward spiral, what barriers he faced in accessing care, and how homelessness and mental illness intersect. Students are also asked to discuss their role in identifying and supporting those in need. Rubrics are provided for evaluating initial discussion posts and response posts.
Examine current practice guidelines related to suicide screeni.docx
Examine current practice guidelines related to suicide screening and prevention and how they could pertain to John.
Choose two of the following questions to answer as part of your initial post.
What events in John's life created a "downward spiral" into homelessness and hopelessness? Which events were related to social needs, mental health needs, and medical needs, and which could health care have addressed?
What were some of the barriers John faced in accessing medical care and mental health care?
How does homelessness and mental illness intersect? Do you believe homelessness may develop because of a mental health issue, or do you believe those who become homeless eventually sink into psychological despair?
The tipping point for many people who live at the margins of society may be things that could have been managed given the right support. How can your role as an APRN help identify, alleviate, or support those who are in need like John?
In your own experience, have you encountered a homeless individual? What was that like? Do you recall what you were thinking?
Please include at least three scholarly sources within your initial post.

Textbook: Chapter 10
Lesson
1. Describe the conflict scene.
2. Many times when we face conflict, there is a surface-level problem and an underlying problem. The
surface-level problem acts only as a symptom of the real problem. Consider both.
3. There are many conflict management strategies that can be employed when dealing with conflict.
Consider which were present in this conflict.
Who was involved in the conflict? What was the relationship between the participants prior to
the conflict? Did it appear as if the relationship between the participants had any impact on how
either person responded to the conflict?
When and where did it take place? Was it formal or informal? Planned or unplanned? What
impact did the location and time have on the outcome?
What transpired? (Be specific.)
What was the surface problem?
What was the surface problem?
What was the underlying problem, or the real problem? If this is unclear, what might you
speculate the real problem to be?
Which conflict management strategies were employed by each of the participants? Did the
conflict management strategies change during the course of the conversation? How do you
know?
What was the outcome? Was there a winner? A loser? Did there appear to be an impact on the

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

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).

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.

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

Instructions
In this week's lesson, you learned about the U.S. Census
Bureau's most recent racial and ethnic categories. For this
assignment, consider the racial and ethnic categories used in
the 2010 Census with the four racial, ethnic, and gender
categories used in the 1790 Census: Free white males, free
white females, all other free persons, slaves (Pew Research
Center, 2015). Analyze the concepts of race, ethnicity, and
gender as social constructs, just as sociologists do, by
addressing the following:
1. Explain how you might have been categorized by the
1790 Census and how you would have been
categorized by the 2010 Census.
2. Compare and contrast the two potential categorizations
and explain how this exercise shows that the concepts
of race, ethnicity, and even gender change over time.
Most importantly, explain how this exercise shows that
the concepts of race, ethnicity, and gender are social
constructs.
3. Determine and describe what ethnic, racial, and/or
gender categories, if any, would be best, in your view,
for the 2020 Census or the 2030 Census, to most
accurately show the diversity of the U.S. population.
What categories would be best to reveal the segments
of the U.S. population most vulnerable to racial, ethnic,
and/or gender inequalities or discrimination? What
categories could be listed in the 2020 Census or the
2030 Census that might best educate the U.S.
population on differences between race and ethnicity?
Explain your decisions.
Include headings for each of the three main sections of the
paper:
What the Census Might Have Called Me
Social Constructs
Better Future Census Categories
Each of the three main sections of your paper must contain
scholarly support in the form of quotes or paraphrases with
respective citations from assigned reading (the
textbook/lesson) and the outside scholarly source that you
identify on your own.

HU345 Critical ThinkingDiscussion 1Sample Argument FormPr.docx
The document provides a sample argument form intended to convince a friend named Alex to go hiking with the speaker. The three premises are: 1) Alex has been stressed and hiking reduces stress, 2) the weather that weekend is suitable for hiking, and 3) Alex's New Year's resolution was to do more things outside her comfort zone. The conclusion is that Alex should go hiking that weekend. The explanation notes that the speaker wants to address Alex's reasons for not wanting to go by suggesting premises that will alleviate her concerns about stress from work, disliking extreme temperatures, and giving up on her resolution. The premises are meant to logically lead Alex to the desired conclusion of agreeing to go hiking.

Journal Guidelines and Rubric
Guidelines
The journal is to be an example of the student’s ability to write and analyze the material he or she is
reading. An attempt should be made to integrate material from the myriad of books and notes in this
course.
Journal entries should be made for each of the seven major world religions considered. Your journal
should contain complete sentences and be grammatically correct. While you are reading, write down what
goes on in your head in "stream of consciousness" style in the margins of your book, in a notebook, or in
a computer file. You will be making a record of images, associations, feelings, thoughts, judgments, etc.
You will probably find that the record contains:
Questions that you ask yourself about the narrative and events as you read (answer these
yourself when you can).
Memories from your own experiences provoked by the reading.
Guesses about how the text might proceed and why.
Reflections on striking moments and ideas in the book.
Comparisons between how you behave and how the author describes actions and behavior.
Thoughts and feelings about content.
Comments on how the story is being told. For example, write any words and phrases that make
an impression on you, or motifs/themes which you notice the author using.
Connections to other texts, ideas, and courses.
A journal entry consists of two parts:
1. The first part is a direct quotation of the part you noted from the text, copied word for word,
and enclosed in quotation marks. Be sure to include the author's last name and the page number
of the quotation in parentheses after the quotation. MLA format requires that you use the last
name, a space, and then the number, e.g., (Ludwig 89).
2. The second part of the journal entry is a paragraph that explains why you found the passage
to be important or interesting. Sometimes students ask questions about the reading, or they
explain it, or relate to it in some way. Whatever you do, do not simply summarize the contents
of the passage. Instead, go beyond it somehow, analyze it, offer thoughts about why it seems
important to you or to others. In essence, by writing about the importance of the passage, you will
give it meaning.
It is also helpful to explain what is going on in the text at the time of the passage (the context). Some
students like to write (1) what is happening in the story, (2) what the passage says, and (3) why the
passage is important or interesting. This structure is not necessary, but sometimes it helps you organize
your responses.
The quality of your thinking and the energy with which you attempt to analyze your reading are the most
important aspects of this assignment!

OLCU 350 Leadership and Professional Ethics
Personal Ethical Decision Making Framework Assignment Due Week 3
You will write a 3 – 5 page paper in APA format describing your own ethical framework. You will describe the principles and values that are
part of your framework, as well as the major theory or theories from the textbook (e.g., Kohlberg’s theory of moral development, Ajzen’s
theory of planned behavior, etc,) which inform your framework.
Ethical Framework
An ethical framework is a decision-making model that outlines step-by-step
processes for reaching ethical decisions. A framework for ethical decision-
making addresses the “how” not the “what” of ethical decisions. It reflects
the process of ethical decision-making. It will be similar to a decision-
making framework but must include specific ethical considerations. Ethical
frameworks frequently take the form of a series of questions such as, “How
would I want someone else to act in this situation?” “How would my
behavior be judged by my mother/father/children?” “What is the greatest
good in this situation?” “What values are represented by this decision?”
Your paper should include the following elements:
DEFINE: Define an ethical framework and its usefulness to you.
DESCRIBE: Describe your ethical framework and how you developed it.
PERSONAL APPLICATION:
o What do you base your ethical framework on? It could be based on:
Religious convictions
Ideologies (such as justice, democracy or Confucianism),
Your personal values and ethical principles
ANALYZE: How does it compare or contrast with the major theories presented in the textbook?
SYNTHESIZE: How does your personal ethical framework influence your ethical reasoning and decision-making and behavior?
EVALUATE: Conclusion - What are your final conclusions about your ethical framework and its usefulness?

WRITING #1.0 Comparative Analysis Paper English 1302 .docx
WRITING #1.0: Comparative Analysis Paper
English 1302
Spring 2015
SYNOPSIS OF TASK
Americans love independence. It is at the very core of the nation’s foundations. Many of our
most cherished ideals come from individuality and the right to choose our own path in life.
Rebels and outlaws can become innovators and icons. Despite this, we also share a great love
for being a part of something bigger. Americans also have a great desire to fit in and belong.
Being outside the norm, in any way, carries with it the possibility being ostracized. It comes as
no surprise then, that these conflicting ideals can cause a lot of problems for people. This
struggle between conformity and rebellion is a popular topic for writers. The works listed below
all discuss this broad topic in one way or another
Battle Royal by Ralph Ellison 283-294
The Lottery by Shirley Jackson 415-421
Two Kinds by Amy Tan 636-643
“The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost 811
“Barbie Doll” by Marge Piercy 1023
“We Real Cool” by Gwendolyn Brooks 732
“The Man He Killed” by Thomas Hardy 689
“Dulce et Decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen 909
“The Soldier” by Rupert Brooke 910
“Harlem” by Langston Hughes 762
“The Unknown Citizen” by W. H. Auden (http://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/unknown-
citizen)
For this assignment, using at least four of the works listed above, you will write a paper that
compares what the writers say, and then (briefly) comment on what the writers say in your
conclusion.
In other words, by your paper will (1) identify and summarize essential points made by the
writers and (2) compare/contrast those points, based on what the writers argue. Such analysis of
sources is a common practice both in college writing and in the writing of scholars. Your
“commenting” will occur in the conclusion, where you can evaluate the strengths and/or
weaknesses of the authors’ arguments. You will give no evaluation in the paper prior to
this point.
The completed paper will be 3-4 pages in length (double spaced and not including the works
cited page)
SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE TASK.
Probably the most difficult part of your task for this paper will be the connections you make
among the articles you choose. These primary connections (“themes,” “points,” “ideas”) will, of
course, represent what is in the articles, but making such connections is a matter of your
input: your accurate, insightful reading, interpretation, and analysis. Although you will
need to reproduce accurately what is in the articles, your paper’s real success lies in how
insightful your connections are among the four articles. Try to find areas in which the works
share a common ground, as well as looking for ways in which they are different from each
other. All the works have something to say about rebellion, conformity, or both. No two works
say the exact same thing, nor do they say similar things in the exact same w.

Definitions and summarization.docx
This document discusses definitions, summarization, and answering discussion questions related to a case study about a man named John who experienced homelessness, mental health issues, and barriers to healthcare access. Students are prompted to choose two discussion questions to answer, with at least three scholarly sources cited. The questions explore what events led to John's downward spiral, what barriers he faced in accessing care, and how homelessness and mental illness intersect. Students are also asked to discuss their role in identifying and supporting those in need. Rubrics are provided for evaluating initial discussion posts and response posts.
Examine current practice guidelines related to suicide screeni.docx
Examine current practice guidelines related to suicide screening and prevention and how they could pertain to John.
Choose two of the following questions to answer as part of your initial post.
What events in John's life created a "downward spiral" into homelessness and hopelessness? Which events were related to social needs, mental health needs, and medical needs, and which could health care have addressed?
What were some of the barriers John faced in accessing medical care and mental health care?
How does homelessness and mental illness intersect? Do you believe homelessness may develop because of a mental health issue, or do you believe those who become homeless eventually sink into psychological despair?
The tipping point for many people who live at the margins of society may be things that could have been managed given the right support. How can your role as an APRN help identify, alleviate, or support those who are in need like John?
In your own experience, have you encountered a homeless individual? What was that like? Do you recall what you were thinking?
Please include at least three scholarly sources within your initial post.

This assignment has two parts: analysis and reflection.
Part 1 Analysis: Observe an instance where conflict is present, one in which you are not personally

Textbook: Chapter 10
Lesson
1. Describe the conflict scene.
2. Many times when we face conflict, there is a surface-level problem and an underlying problem. The
surface-level problem acts only as a symptom of the real problem. Consider both.
3. There are many conflict management strategies that can be employed when dealing with conflict.
Consider which were present in this conflict.
Who was involved in the conflict? What was the relationship between the participants prior to
the conflict? Did it appear as if the relationship between the participants had any impact on how
either person responded to the conflict?
When and where did it take place? Was it formal or informal? Planned or unplanned? What
impact did the location and time have on the outcome?
What transpired? (Be specific.)
What was the surface problem?
What was the surface problem?
What was the underlying problem, or the real problem? If this is unclear, what might you
speculate the real problem to be?
Which conflict management strategies were employed by each of the participants? Did the
conflict management strategies change during the course of the conversation? How do you
know?
What was the outcome? Was there a winner? A loser? Did there appear to be an impact on the

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).

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.

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 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

I chose a victim advocate program that provides crisis intervention for sexual assault victims. “The Victim Advocate provides emotional support to primary victims and secondary victims during the examination at the hospital or during an interview with the police. Applicant must be able to respond to victim/family in a non-judgmental and unbiased manner. The requirement is to work a minimum 2 shifts per month (

Explain the potential benefits of the program evaluation that you proposed (both process and outcome).
The process benefits of monitoring the program helps with determining the strengths and weaknesses of the service program that is being implemented. It helps to discover ways to improve program services for the most effective outcomes. Additionally, monitoring the program presents accountability to ensure effectiveness and integrity of the program. “Program monitoring typically uses many different types of data-collection strategies, such as questionnaires given out to clients or staff members, individual and group interviewing of staff and clients, observations of pro-grams and specific interactions between staff members and clients, reviews of existing documents such as client files and personnel documents, and consulting experts (Dudley, 2014) (p.73).”

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.
Submit the following:
A 1-page stakeholder analysis that identifies the stakeholders, their role in the agency and any concerns that they might have about the proposed program evaluation
A 2- to 3-page draft of the program evaluation plan to submit to the stakeholders that:
Identifies the purpose of the evaluation
Describes the questions that will be addressed and the type of information that will be collected
Addresses the concerns of the stakeholders that you identified in your Stakeholder Analysis

Identify strengths in their analyses and strategies for presenting evaluation results to others.
You provided an insightful analysis of this particular process evaluation, and it seems that you were able to design a comprehensive presentation guideline. I agree with your tactic to break the presentation up into categories, and the categories you have selected seem to address the major components of the program, the evaluation itself, and the findings of said evaluation. You also provided a great analysis and summary of the PATHS program. The purpose of the program is clear, and the overarching purpose of the evaluation was made clear in your synopsis as well.
Identify ways your colleagues might improve their presentations.
You addressed outcome measures very well, however, there may have been some lacking information in regards to overall evaluation methods as a whole. Addressing factors such as who was collecting the data, how they were trained, how their training or standing could limit potential bias, and similar information. This may be an important piece of information that could help to provide audience members with a better understanding of the evaluation processes as a whole.
Identify potential needs or questions of the audience that they may not have considered.

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 .

Post an evaluation of the evidence-based practice that you selected for Jake. Describe the practice and evidence supporting it.
The evidence-based practice that I chose for Jake was Yoga Practice. The study was done on one participant, and it focused on the effects of yoga practice on brain function as well as PTSD symptoms. The practice of yoga was done over an eight week period and documented the improvements of the individual along the way (Yoga, 2015). The evidence that supports this practice is the participant had improved in several categories such as, anxiety levels, PTSD symptoms, abilities to focus, as well as multitasking skills (Yoga, 2015). It also made the individual participating in the study feel less angry and frustrated than he did at the beginning of his recovery process. He also attributed his success to the Yoga Practice and is now more comfortable practicing yoga (Yoga, 2015).
Explain why you think this intervention is appropriate for Jake.
I believe Yoga practice will offer positive effects for Jake for a number of reasons.
The first being that Jake and the participant share some of the same symptoms from PTSD. So, the idea would be to focus on mindfulness and see if this practice is compatible with Jake. Anoth.

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.

SOCW 6311 Week 3 Discussion Choosing and Using Single-System De.docx
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.

Week 4: Social Development in Infants and Children
Assignment: Child Abuse and Neglect
Physical, emotional, and sexual abuse can have a devastating impact on a child and his or her family members. Social workers need to understand how to recognize and respond to cases of abuse expertly and efficiently. With an empathetic and helpful social worker, victims/survivors of abuse can take their first step onto the long road toward healing. For this Assignment, read the case study Working With Survivors of Sexual Abuse and Trauma: The Case of Brandon and then consider what you would do if you were a social worker and had to report a parent of suspected child abuse.
By Day 7
Submit
a 3- to 4-page paper in which you review the approach taken by the social worker in Brandon’s case. Identify how the social worker might have used the ecological model to understand Brandon’s situation based on a person-in-environment perspective. Explain the use of the ecological model in this case on micro, mezzo, and macro levels. Describe strengths the social worker may have missed in assessing Brandon and his mother. Review the challenges that the social worker identifies and explain the impact the abuse could have had on Brandon had his strengths not been identified and addressed. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer.

SOCW 6210 Week 7. Discussion Psychological Aspects of AgingWee.docx
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. Use the following resources for the references and citations. At a minimum, be sure to reference Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman and Plummer.

· 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.

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.

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:

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.
