Grandmother Ella has been dealing with cancer for years now and has tried alternative remedies and juicing. She went into remission for some time, but now the cancer has returned and she is in the hospital. Her husband, of American Indian descent, has his ideas about what needs to be done as Ella comes to the end of her life. Ella has her preferences, though she is now so weak that she has given up in many ways. The family members are each experiencing their own fears and are grieving as they face the loss that will occur as Ella’s life comes to a close. Ella prefers to die at home and has felt stressed by the discord and discomfort of family members since being hospitalized.
You are the social worker for this case. You meet this family in the hospital setting as they are considering whether the patient will remain there for her final days or whether hospice and palliative care will be provided for her in her home.
For this assignment, you will:
Synthesize the current research that is relevant to this scenario.
Discuss the cultural or traditional issues that could arise at this time. Consider how the integration of alternative and complementary medicine and beliefs, mainstream medical practices, and cultural/traditional rituals and practices might create issues and what they might include.

SOC313 Family Document
Throughout this class, we will meet two families, the Maldonado’s and the Olson’s. The two families are
considered extended family via Sarah and Joe Miller. We will learn about their relationships, work
environments, and the psychosocial effects related to health challenges faced by each family. You will
use this document for the discussions and written assignments. We begin with the Maldonado family.
Manny and Donna Maldonado have been married for 42 years. Manny is age 65 and Donna is 63. Sarah,
Mike and Becky are the children of Manny and Donna Maldonado. Sarah is the eldest daughter,
followed by her brother, Mike, and her sister, Becky.
Manny is Hispanic American and owns a 20,000-acre produce farm that has been in his family for
three generations. Although Manny speaks and understands English, he prefers to speak Spanish.
This creates a language barrier between Manny and other family members who do not speak
Spanish. Donna is fluent in Spanish, having learned the language from Manny and his family.
Donna works on the farm with her husband. She has long suffered from mood swings, which is
mostly frustrating to Manny. He says it is “brujeria,” meaning her moods are caused by witchcraft
and “mal d ojo” or “evil eye.” He believes someone put a spell on Donna. When this is believed to
be the case, the person will visit a Curandero (healer) who will perform a healing ritual.
o Sarah works as a nurse, and recently took Family Leave of Medical Absence (FMLA) due to
her children’s recent issues.
o Joe is the President of Illusion Technologies. Joe’s parents are John and Ella Miller. More
details about Joe are shared in the Olson family section below.
Lucy, age 20, has a history of severe substance use disorder, along with having been
diagnosed with bipolar disorder. In the past two years, Lucy has had four different jobs.
She is unable to hold a job long-term. She now works on her grandparent’s produce
farm.
Josh, age 17, has been sneaking away with friends, smoking marijuana and skipping
school.
Evan, age 10, was recently diagnosed with leukemia; however, he has not yet started
treatments. Evan’s doctors have recommended chemotherapy, radiation, and a bone
marrow transplant. Sarah and Joe intend to follow this treatment plan.
o Mike Maldonado is age 36. He currently works for a state University as a tenured faculty of
the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Mike was recently diagnosed with HIV.
o Dan was Mike’s husband. He recently passed away at the age of 38 due to an AIDS-related
illness. They were married for 10 years. Mike and Dan did not have any children.
o Becky is age 33. She is divorced and working on the family produce farm as well as
attending a local college at night to complete her bachelor’s degree in Child Psychology. She
has one child, Abe.
Abe is age 12. He is a good s.

Introduction to the Miller Family
Introduction
Technology has been evolutional especially in this 21st century where the introduction of computers and other major examples of technology has taken the world by storm. During the olden days, things were not as evolutional as much as they are now and so was the medical sector. During the 19th and 20th century, there were less and less qualified doctors since the fields of medicine were not taught and that they had to improvise their own methods of treatments (Postman 2010). They used traditional medicine men and herbs to cure their illnesses. But in this 21st century, the field of medicine is well advanced and is full of different equipment’s and medicines that can help heal the sick. At the same time, home care has been facilitated by education of how best to take care of the sick by the doctors such that the family members can take care of them easily but under supervision of the doctor. It is therefore better to consider various factors before choosing whether to be hospitalized or to do home based care. Therefore, hospital care is the best type of dealing with chronic or critical illnesses because expert help will be guaranteed and one will be in much safer hands of the professionals.
Cultural or traditional issues arising from the case
Culture refers to how certain groups of people behave in reference to who the traditional people in the same lineage believed and behaved. Culture refers to the morals, beliefs, knowledge and ethical standards that are exhibited by a certain group in the community. Different groups have different cultural background that lays down the rules and regulations that control our behaviors (Waddington, 1995). People in different cultural upbringings are expected to behave in the same way that the ancestors and those in their lineage behave. However, there has been an erosion of these cultures in the 21st century and many are doing away with these issues. For example, in this case the major factor that would arise would be those of decision making. According to the Asian traditions, they value the family group setting rather than the individual in that everything that they do, courtesy and thoughtfulness should be upheld. In their traditional hierarchy of the family, the husband or the father is the one responsible for decision making and then the next person responsible for the decisions is the eldest son who must make them in compatibility with the wife’s preference. In decisions of medical affairs, it is not allowed for the family to disagree in front of the doctor concerning the best treatment method as it is shameful (Lindley1989).
Family reactions

1. In 200-250 words, analyze the basic issues of human biology as they relate to chronic conditions and describe the interaction between disability, disease, and behavior. Examine and discuss the impact of biological health or illness on social, psychological, and physical problems from the micro, mezzo, and macro perspectives. Choose a chronic condition from those provided in your text and consider how you might feel, think, and behave differently if the condition were affecting you versus if the condition were affecting a stranger. How might you think differently about this chronic condition if it were affecting someone close to you, your neighbor, or someone in your community? Please include at least two supporting scholarly resources.
2.Our stage of life, intellectual/cognitive abilities, and sociocultural position in life, affect our perspectives and resultant behaviors about a number of conditions including cancer. Consider the information provided in the
“Introduction to the Miller Family”
document. Both Ella and Elías have been diagnosed with cancer. Ella has been fighting cancer with complementary and alternative methods with some success for many years. Elías, her grandson, is 10 years old and has recently been diagnosed with leukemia but has not yet begun treatment. Putting yourself in either Ella or Elías’s place, what might your perspective on your cancer be? Integrate how the stage of life, cognitive abilities, and sociocultural position of your chosen person impacts her/his perspective on his/her individual disease.

Psychiatric Conditions: Bias and Shame
Prior to engaging in this discussion, read Chapters 7 and 8 in your text as well as the articles by Clark, et al. (2013) “California’s historic effort to reduce the stigma of mental illness: The Mental Health Services Act” .and Cummins (2013) “Addressing public stigma and disparities among persons with mental illness: The role of federal policy.” It is highly recommended that you also watch a few of the videos on mental illness from the TED playlist, “All kinds of minds” as these provide valuable insights into a variety of disorders and the issues associated with them.
For this discussion, refer to the information in the SOC313 Family Document. Lucy Miller is a 20 year old who has recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She is working on the family farm. She would rather work elsewhere because she does not get along well with her family. However, she has been fired from four jobs in the past two years and this is her only option for work currently.

IntroductionPatients usually go through a lot and in most inst.docx
Introduction
Patients usually go through a lot and in most instances; other people influence their decisions in all aspects. They are forced to follow certain aspects even though they themselves are against them. This is because they are sick and as thus depend on the help of others in order to regain their healthy.
The scenario
Ella has been sick and as thus has been requiring medical help. She wishes to stick to the alternative and complementary medical practices but is coerced to follow the mainstream medical advice. Her husband, who insists to make decision on her behalf, as he is the head of the family, opts for traditional practices.
There are alternatives for her care as she may be discharged home to receive treatment and care from there.However; the family members at home also have individual problems. The son is an alcoholic while the daughter has diabetis.The grandson has drugs problems while the grand daughter is bipolar and also has drug problems. The daughter in law is also stressed because of the medical issues in the family which include nephew with leukemia, brother who has HIV and her father’s view that they are all crazy.
Ella is expected by the doctor to go home and receive care from there. The family members are thus expected to provide her with all the care needed in order to enhance her recovery. The question is, keeping in mind the current situation with family members; will she be able to recover adequately?
Cultural
Aspects and alternative treatments
Ella’s husband wants the family traditions to be followed in her medications. Assessment of therapy process and its outcome usually vary across cultures. A cure in a system may be regarded as a failure in another system. This makes assessment of success or failure a daunting task.
The biomedical perspective of traditional systems is that they usually lack models necessary for chronic disorders. In a scenario, a medicine man may say that their therapy works as their patients never come back. A physician may say that their therapy works as their patients do come back. Physicians view this as success to an ongoing process while the medicine mans` cure does not appear to need any further therapy. These thoughts reflect the different expectations of people on illnesses and therapy. These methods are based on various expectations of patients and their families.
(Jennifer Christine Mills Niemeyer, 2010)
The current scenario is complicated further as the husband opts for traditional mechanisms. He wants a therapy that will adequately provide a permanent cure and relief. The husband challenging the use of biomedical to traditional poses a great task to physicians and healers of any tradition. This makes the patients to struggle and reject with the chronic illness. The physician should thus recognize the psychosocial problems and try to analyze the complexities of the cross-cultural settings of caring for the patient. This is to ensure positive progress of the patient’s .

Sustainable development is an idea that has been talked about global.docx
Sustainable development is an idea that has been talked about globally for years. But there is often multiple definitions of sustainable development. Some people value sustainability more that development and vice versa. The main issue you see is through sustainable developments three main pillars; environmental, economic, and social. It is almost impossible to have one without sacrificing at least a little of the others. There are also many differing views of what should be developed and what should be sustained. Even when these issues are brought into fruition at UN summits developed and developing countries often disagree on these issues. Even though plans have been made at these summits, goals have failed to be turned into action. That is the main issue I see is in order to make these plans work people must be willing to ask for a change and be willing to make the big decisions to change. Despite this, the mistrust between Northern and Southern countries will always make sustainable development a struggle.

To complete this assignment, read through the scenario below and address the specific questions and issues indicated. Review the "Introduction to the Miller Family" document for specific information on each member of the family.
Grandmother Ella has been dealing with cancer for years now and has tried alternative remedies and juicing. She went into remission for some time, but now the cancer has returned and she is in the hospital. Her husband, of American Indian descent, has his ideas about what needs to be done as Ella comes to the end of her life. Ella has her preferences, though she is now so weak that she has given up in many ways. The family members are each experiencing their own fears and are grieving as they face the loss that will occur as Ella’s life comes to a close. Ella prefers to die at home and has felt stressed by the discord and discomfort of family members since being hospitalized.
You are the social worker for this case. You meet this family in the hospital setting as they are considering whether the patient will remain there for her final days or whether hospice and palliative care will be provided for her in her home.
For this assignment, you will:
Synthesize the current research that is relevant to this scenario.
Discuss the cultural or traditional issues that could arise at this time. Consider how the integration of alternative and complementary medicine and beliefs, mainstream medical practices, and cultural/traditional rituals and practices might create issues and what they might include.

Ella wishes to stick with alternative and complementary practices.
Ella is coerced into following mainstream medical advice.
Ella’s husband insists that, as father and husband, his family traditions should be adhered to.
Examine the biological basis for care and describe how the choices for care might affect the other family members with respect to their individual problems, if at all.
Son Sam, the alcoholic
Daughter Lila, with diabetes
Grandson Josh, starting to have drug problems
Granddaughter Lucy, bipolar with more entrenched drug problems
Daughter-in-law, Sarah’s stress related to her family’s medical issues (nephew with leukemia, brother with HIV, and her father’s perspective that they are all “crazy!”)
Discuss the micro, mezzo, and macro influences affecting both the patient and the diverse family members in this scenario as impacted by Ella’s medical condition and prognosis.
What are the pertinent and likely family (micro) conflicts and differences, and concerns that could be encountered?
How is the neighborhood and extended family (mezzo) reacting to the situation?

SOC313 Family Document
Throughout this class, we will meet two families, the Maldonado’s and the Olson’s. The two families are
considered extended family via Sarah and Joe Miller. We will learn about their relationships, work
environments, and the psychosocial effects related to health challenges faced by each family. You will
use this document for the discussions and written assignments. We begin with the Maldonado family.
Manny and Donna Maldonado have been married for 42 years. Manny is age 65 and Donna is 63. Sarah,
Mike and Becky are the children of Manny and Donna Maldonado. Sarah is the eldest daughter,
followed by her brother, Mike, and her sister, Becky.
Manny is Hispanic American and owns a 20,000-acre produce farm that has been in his family for
three generations. Although Manny speaks and understands English, he prefers to speak Spanish.
This creates a language barrier between Manny and other family members who do not speak
Spanish. Donna is fluent in Spanish, having learned the language from Manny and his family.
Donna works on the farm with her husband. She has long suffered from mood swings, which is
mostly frustrating to Manny. He says it is “brujeria,” meaning her moods are caused by witchcraft
and “mal d ojo” or “evil eye.” He believes someone put a spell on Donna. When this is believed to
be the case, the person will visit a Curandero (healer) who will perform a healing ritual.
o Sarah works as a nurse, and recently took Family Leave of Medical Absence (FMLA) due to
her children’s recent issues.
o Joe is the President of Illusion Technologies. Joe’s parents are John and Ella Miller. More
details about Joe are shared in the Olson family section below.
Lucy, age 20, has a history of severe substance use disorder, along with having been
diagnosed with bipolar disorder. In the past two years, Lucy has had four different jobs.
She is unable to hold a job long-term. She now works on her grandparent’s produce
farm.
Josh, age 17, has been sneaking away with friends, smoking marijuana and skipping
school.
Evan, age 10, was recently diagnosed with leukemia; however, he has not yet started
treatments. Evan’s doctors have recommended chemotherapy, radiation, and a bone
marrow transplant. Sarah and Joe intend to follow this treatment plan.
o Mike Maldonado is age 36. He currently works for a state University as a tenured faculty of
the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Mike was recently diagnosed with HIV.
o Dan was Mike’s husband. He recently passed away at the age of 38 due to an AIDS-related
illness. They were married for 10 years. Mike and Dan did not have any children.
o Becky is age 33. She is divorced and working on the family produce farm as well as
attending a local college at night to complete her bachelor’s degree in Child Psychology. She
has one child, Abe.
Abe is age 12. He is a good s.

During the olden days, things were not as evolutional as much as they are now and so was the medical sector. During the 19th and 20th century, there were less and less qualified doctors since the fields of medicine were not taught and that they had to improvise their own methods of treatments (Postman 2010). They used traditional medicine men and herbs to cure their illnesses. But in this 21st century, the field of medicine is well advanced and is full of different equipment’s and medicines that can help heal the sick. At the same time, home care has been facilitated by education of how best to take care of the sick by the doctors such that the family members can take care of them easily but under supervision of the doctor. It is therefore better to consider various factors before choosing whether to be hospitalized or to do home based care. Therefore, hospital care is the best type of dealing with chronic or critical illnesses because expert help will be guaranteed and one will be in much safer hands of the professionals.
Cultural or traditional issues arising from the case
Culture refers to how certain groups of people behave in reference to who the traditional people in the same lineage believed and behaved. Culture refers to the morals, beliefs, knowledge and ethical standards that are exhibited by a certain group in the community. Different groups have different cultural background that lays down the rules and regulations that control our behaviors (Waddington, 1995). People in different cultural upbringings are expected to behave in the same way that the ancestors and those in their lineage behave. However, there has been an erosion of these cultures in the 21st century and many are doing away with these issues. For example, in this case the major factor that would arise would be those of decision making. According to the Asian traditions, they value the family group setting rather than the individual in that everything that they do, courtesy and thoughtfulness should be upheld. In their traditional hierarchy of the family, the husband or the father is the one responsible for decision making and then the next person responsible for the decisions is the eldest son who must make them in compatibility with the wife’s preference. In decisions of medical affairs, it is not allowed for the family to disagree in front of the doctor concerning the best treatment method as it is shameful (Lindley1989).
Family reactions
In this case, Ella’s husband says that the traditional means of treatment should be followed and that Ell.

1. In 200-250 words, analyze the basic issues of human biology as they relate to chronic conditions and describe the interaction between disability, disease, and behavior. Examine and discuss the impact of biological health or illness on social, psychological, and physical problems from the micro, mezzo, and macro perspectives. Choose a chronic condition from those provided in your text and consider how you might feel, think, and behave differently if the condition were affecting you versus if the condition were affecting a stranger. How might you think differently about this chronic condition if it were affecting someone close to you, your neighbor, or someone in your community? Please include at least two supporting scholarly resources.
2.Our stage of life, intellectual/cognitive abilities, and sociocultural position in life, affect our perspectives and resultant behaviors about a number of conditions including cancer. Consider the information provided in the
“Introduction to the Miller Family”
document. Both Ella and Elías have been diagnosed with cancer. Ella has been fighting cancer with complementary and alternative methods with some success for many years. Elías, her grandson, is 10 years old and has recently been diagnosed with leukemia but has not yet begun treatment. Putting yourself in either Ella or Elías’s place, what might your perspective on your cancer be? Integrate how the stage of life, cognitive abilities, and sociocultural position of your chosen person impacts her/his perspective on his/her individual disease.

IntroductionPatients usually go through a lot and in most inst.docx
Introduction
Patients usually go through a lot and in most instances; other people influence their decisions in all aspects. They are forced to follow certain aspects even though they themselves are against them. This is because they are sick and as thus depend on the help of others in order to regain their healthy.
The scenario
Ella has been sick and as thus has been requiring medical help. She wishes to stick to the alternative and complementary medical practices but is coerced to follow the mainstream medical advice. Her husband, who insists to make decision on her behalf, as he is the head of the family, opts for traditional practices.
There are alternatives for her care as she may be discharged home to receive treatment and care from there.However; the family members at home also have individual problems. The son is an alcoholic while the daughter has diabetis.The grandson has drugs problems while the grand daughter is bipolar and also has drug problems. The daughter in law is also stressed because of the medical issues in the family which include nephew with leukemia, brother who has HIV and her father’s view that they are all crazy.
Ella is expected by the doctor to go home and receive care from there. The family members are thus expected to provide her with all the care needed in order to enhance her recovery. The question is, keeping in mind the current situation with family members; will she be able to recover adequately?
Cultural
Aspects and alternative treatments
Ella’s husband wants the family traditions to be followed in her medications. Assessment of therapy process and its outcome usually vary across cultures. A cure in a system may be regarded as a failure in another system. This makes assessment of success or failure a daunting task.
The biomedical perspective of traditional systems is that they usually lack models necessary for chronic disorders. In a scenario, a medicine man may say that their therapy works as their patients never come back. A physician may say that their therapy works as their patients do come back. Physicians view this as success to an ongoing process while the medicine mans` cure does not appear to need any further therapy. These thoughts reflect the different expectations of people on illnesses and therapy. These methods are based on various expectations of patients and their families.
(Jennifer Christine Mills Niemeyer, 2010)
The current scenario is complicated further as the husband opts for traditional mechanisms. He wants a therapy that will adequately provide a permanent cure and relief. The husband challenging the use of biomedical to traditional poses a great task to physicians and healers of any tradition. This makes the patients to struggle and reject with the chronic illness. The physician should thus recognize the psychosocial problems and try to analyze the complexities of the cross-cultural settings of caring for the patient. This is to ensure positive progress of the patient’s .

Sustainable development is an idea that has been talked about global.docx
Sustainable development is an idea that has been talked about globally for years. But there is often multiple definitions of sustainable development. Some people value sustainability more that development and vice versa. The main issue you see is through sustainable developments three main pillars; environmental, economic, and social. It is almost impossible to have one without sacrificing at least a little of the others. There are also many differing views of what should be developed and what should be sustained. Even when these issues are brought into fruition at UN summits developed and developing countries often disagree on these issues. Even though plans have been made at these summits, goals have failed to be turned into action. That is the main issue I see is in order to make these plans work people must be willing to ask for a change and be willing to make the big decisions to change. Despite this, the mistrust between Northern and Southern countries will always make sustainable development a struggle.

SWK313 Case Study OneYou are a social worker in a program with in.docx
SWK313 Case Study One:
You are a social worker in a program with in a non-government agency that supports people recovering from addiction. Steve, a 23 year old man presents at your service as he has been has a upcoming Court date for some drug related offences and his lawyer
told him if he attends a course it will prevent him from going to prison.
Steve has a long history of alcohol and marijuana addiction as well as several prior convictions for theft and burglary. Steve has no family support and left home and school when he was 14 after being abused by his alcoholic step father. He is currently living in transitional housing with friends who are also drug users.
Steve has never been able to hold down a job, but picks up occasional work.
Steve agreed to one of one counselling however, during sessions he would often make rude remarks he was angry and bored and would often walk out of sessions.
SWK313 Case Study Two
You are a social worker in a government child protective service and you receive the following report and are allocated to work with the family:
Subject Children:
Stephen (aged 8
Mary (aged 4
Parents
Jeanie (b.mo aged 28)
Tom ( b.fa aged (32)
Address:
Remote community (during Wet season)
Outstation (during Dry season)
Case Manager:
Tess
Current situation:
A notification was received from a remote community health centre notifying that Stephen and Mary will be air lifted to Hospital due to weight loss (each averaging 200 grams per week). B/mo of the children Jeanie is pregnant and is also considered to be severely malnourished so will also be flying in with the children for treatment.
Family will be accompanied by another female family member who notifier describes as ‘responsible’.
Notifier advised that they had applied the World Health Organisation classification for malnourishment to both children and it meets the ‘severe’ category.
Notifier also notes that it is unusual to need to admit a child of eight (8) years of age to hospital for malnourishment.
Notifier stated they have continued to experience difficulties in following-up health issues for the children because family spends large amounts of time at their Outstation and there is no service outreach to this location.
Previous involvement with the family has resulted in two (2) hospitalisations for Stephen and Mary for failure to thrive and each time their weight had increased on their return to community however contact is lost when family moves to the outstation. Notifier added that b/mo Jeanie has disclosed that there is often little to no food available at the Outstation as it runs out quickly.
Jeanie presents as disempowered when discussing family issues with the health centre and her own serious malnourished state supports the view that her nutritional needs take low priority in the family hierarchy.
The health centre has had no direct involvement with the birth father as he never accompanies Jeanie or the children to their service. When.

SummaryU.S. Census Bureau signed a $600 million contract with H.docx
Summary:
U.S. Census Bureau signed a $600 million contract with Harris corporation in 2006 to build 500,000 devices, but still wasn’t sure which features they wanted included in the units. Census officials did not specify the testing process to measure the performance of the handheld devices. Four hundred change requests were added to the project requirements. Two years and hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars later, the handhelds were far too slow and unreliable to be used for the 2010 U.S. census.

Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters,
by Carl Wilkinson
A group of record company executives, sitting down to sketch the perfect rock star, may well come up with someone a little like Dave Grohl. He has the look – long, thick black hair; he has the talent – he plays the drums, guitar and piano, he sings and he writes his own songs; and, above all, he has both pedigree and credibility.
In the early 1990s, as drummer with seminal grunge band Nirvana, Grohl helped change the face of popular music. Today, as lead singer with stadium-filling rock giants Foo Fighters, he is a multi-millionaire who has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide, won six Grammy awards and is president of his own record label. Alongside Foo Fighters he has a number of side projects (including super group Them Crooked Vultures, with Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones); a documentary about his band shot by Oscar-winning director James Moll was released last month and his seventh album, Wasting Light, is out on Monday. Now 42, Grohl – and his brand of rock ’n’ roll – has grown up, had kids and settled down.
We meet at Studio 606, the 8,000 sq ft recording space he built in 2005 in the Northridge area of Los Angeles. Outside, the Californian spring sunshine throws stark shadows across some neighborhoods that estate agents would describe euphemistically as “mixed”; from inside this large utilitarian building, with its tinted windows, the blue sky looks almost overcast.
Grohl, who is tall, lean and has grown into his slightly goofy looks, sets down the keys to his decidedly un-rock ’n’ roll grey BMW estate, tucks his shoulder-length hair behind his ear and flips the lid on his laptop. “Sorry,” he beams. “I’ve just got to check my e-mail. I want to see if my daughter got into private school.” Grohl married Jordyn Blum in 2003, and they have two daughters, Violet Maye, aged four, and Harper Willow, one.
The upstairs lounge looks like a bachelor pad: there’s a fridge, jukebox and widescreen TV with an eclectic selection of boxsets: The Office, ACDC and Bon Jovi gigs, and a tape of the Make-up and Effects trade show 1997. Scattered across the purple sofa are cushions covered with old band T-shirts (Slayer, The Police, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Led Zeppelin) made by Grohl’s mother. “She called up and said ‘David, what do you want me to do with those T-shirts in the attic?’,” says Grohl in a falsetto.
Downstairs, a vast recording studio complete with Persian rugs and a grand piano in the corner leads on to a warehouse filled with carefully labelled guitar cases, drums and assorted equipment. Among the platinum records, framed posters and photographs hanging in the corri.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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

Summative Assessment To complete this assignment, read the scena.docx
- 1. Summative Assessment To complete this assignment, read the scenario below and address the specific questions and issues indicated. Review the SOC313 Family Document for specific information on each member of the family. Grandmother Ella has had cancer for years now and has followed alternative remedies from the time she was first diagnosed. Ella had a period of remission; however, the cancer returned and has metastasized to her bones, liver, and lungs. She is in the hospital after collapsing from weakness. She is being released from the hospital as she wishes to spend her last days and months at home. Ella has her preferences for care, though she is now so weak that she has given up in many ways. The family members are each experiencing their own fears and are grieving as they face the loss that will occur when Ella’s life ends. Ella feels stressed by the discord and discomfort of family members. For this final assignment, you are the social worker for this case. You meet this family in the hospital setting. You learn that Ella wants to return home with care from the Hospice nurse and health aide. Ella’s husband also wants her to return home; however, several of her children and their spouses want Ella to remain in the hospital or move to a nursing home so she gets professional care. For this assignment, you will: Synthesize the current research that is relevant to this scenario. Discuss the current practices for end of life and palliative care from the Western Medicine as well as the Complementary and Alternative Medicine perspectives. Comprehensively discuss the cultural and/or traditional issues that could arise at this time. Consider how the integration of Complementary and Alternative Medicine and beliefs, mainstream medical practices, and cultural/traditional rituals and practices might create issues and what they might include.
- 2. Describe how the family might react to each of the following possible scenarios: Ella wishes to continue the Complementary and Alternative practices. Ella is coerced into following mainstream medical advice. Ella’s husband, Joe, insists that, as father and husband, his family traditions should be followed. Examine the biological basis for care and describe how the choices for care might affect the other family members with respect to their individual problems, if at all. Son Sam, the alcoholic Daughter Lila, with Type II diabetes Grandson Josh, starting to have drug problems Granddaughter Lucy, bipolar with more entrenched drug problems Daughter-in-law, Sarah’s stress related to her family’s medical issues (son with leukemia and brother with HIV) Discuss the micro, meso, and macro influences affecting both the patient and the diverse family members in this scenario as impacted by Ella’s medical condition and prognosis. What are the pertinent and likely family (micro) conflicts and differences, and concerns that could be encountered? How is the neighborhood and extended family (meso) reacting to the situation? Using your local area, research and discuss two community resources (macro) that support Ella’s needs for care and/or improve her quality of life. Evaluate the ability of these community resources to meet the needs of this diverse family’s circumstances adequately. Discuss the relevant medical issues and the advantages and disadvantages of hospital versus home. In this case, when discussing medical issues use appropriate medical terminology. Discuss the psychological and social issues that are present and will possibly be more pronounced at this stressful time. How has the fact that this illness has been ongoing (chronic) affected the family?
- 3. Analyze the current scenario as it pertains to diversity, as well as to cultural, psychological, and social perspectives and influences, taking into account the stories that you have been discussing throughout the course. Discuss the impact of lifespan development on the perspectives of the various members of the family (i.e., their intellect, cognitive abilities, insight, and judgment) as well as their sociocultural perspectives, preferences, understandings, and positions on the situation. The Final Paper Must be 8 to 10 double-spaced pages in length (not including title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Must include a separate title page with the following: Title of paper Student’s name Course name and number Instructor’s name Date submitted
