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.

Working With Families:
The Case of Carol and Joseph
Carol is a 23-year-old, heterosexual, Caucasian female and the
mother of a 1-year-old baby girl. She is currently unemployed,
having previously worked for a house cleaning company. The
baby is healthy and developmentally on target, and she and the
parents appear to be well bonded with one another. Carol lives in
a rented house with her husband, Joseph. Joseph is a 27-year-old,
heterosexual, Hispanic male. He was recently arrested at their
home for a drug deal, which he asserts was a setup. Both parents
were charged with child endangerment because weapons were
found in the child’s crib and drugs were found in the home. The
parents assert that the child never sleeps in the crib but in their
bed. As a result of the parents’ arrest, social services was notified,
and the child was temporarily placed in a kinship care arrange-
ment with the maternal grandmother, who resides nearby. As a
result of Joseph’s arrest, he was fired from the cleaning company
where he worked, and the family is now experiencing financial
difficulties.
After initial contact was made with the parents, a number of
concerns were noted and the family was recommended for addi-
tional case management. Carol’s mother indicated that she had
concerns about Carol’s drinking habits and stated that Carol’s
father and grandfather were alcoholics. She and the father sepa-
rated when Carol was a baby, and Carol has had only limited
contact with him. There appears to be significant tension between
the grandmother and Carol and Joseph. I addressed the alcohol
issue with both parents, who denied there was a problem, but
shortly after the discussion, Carol was involved in a serious car
accident with the baby in the car. She was determined to have been
under the influence of alcohol. I advised Carol that she could not
have any unsupervised contact with her child until she completed
intensive inpatient substance abuse treatment. I made arrange-
ments for her placement, but after a week, she was discharged
for noncompliance with the rules. She was then referred to an
intensive outpatient program and began therapy there. Initially

her attendance was erratic because she had lost her license as a
result of the DUI. Eventually, however, she became engaged in the
program and began to address her issues. She acknowledged that
she had started using drugs at a very young age but said that she
had only begun drinking in the previous year or so. We discussed
the genetics of her family, and she said that she realized that she
had deteriorated rapidly since beginning to drink and knew that
she simply could not drink alcohol.
Joseph’s mother is deceased, and his father travels exten-
sively in his job and is not available as a support. Joseph was
very devoted to his mother and was devastated by her premature
death. We discussed the strengths that he and C.

Looking Ahead
In Week 4, you will submit a paper covering Parts 1, 3, 4, and 5 from the outline. This assignment will require you to synthesize what you have learned in the first 3 weeks with what you learn in Week 4. You DO NOT need to write an abstract at this stage. These sections constitute the introduction and literature review in a completed research study. This same material also constitutes a beginning research plan or proposal.
Focusing Research Questions and Developing Hypotheses
One of the challenges in writing research questions is that they must be at once general enough to make the study feasible but narrow enough in order to focus the researcher on making choices that will underpin a successful research study. Implementing literature reviews is one way that a researcher can, at once, focus his or her research question and get a sense of what kind of research has already been conducted.
This week you consider the purpose and function of literature reviews. You also consider the consequences of not conducting a literature review and thus being unaware of pre-existing literature on the topic that you are researching.

Hoa’s Case Study
You are a protective services caseworker and you were assigned to Hoa Nugent’s case. Hoa is a
10-year-old Vietnamese girl who is currently in the 5th grade. She lives with both of her parents and an
older brother who is 15 years old. After an investigation was completed, it was determined that no
abuse had occurred but that the family was at-risk and in need of services to prevent any abuse from
occurring in the future. Hoa’s parents legally immigrated to the United States from Vietnam when she
was only a few months old. Both of Hoa’s parents have very high expectations of her and her brother.
Hoa’s father works at a local grocery store and her mother is a stay at home mom. Over the past few
months, Hoa’s personality has changed drastically. She no longer socializes with her peers at school.
She sits by herself during lunch and does not play with anyone at recess. In class, she is constantly
asking her teacher about how she did on her schoolwork and when she feels she is not doing well on
her work, she cries and makes negative statements about herself such as “I am so stupid” or “I will
never amount to anything if I can’t figure this out”. She has even started crying and crouching down if
anyone around her raises their voice. The abuse report indicates the reporter denied any signs of
physical abuse but was mostly worried about emotional and psychological abuse due to the personality
and behavioral changes.
During the investigation, the Department of Children and Families investigator learned that Hoa’s
older brother takes advanced courses in high school and has a 4.2 grade point average (advance
courses allow for GPA’s to be higher than a 4.0). He is active in multiple academic clubs at school and
his parents are extremely proud of him. The investigator also learned that Hoa had always been a
straight A student until she received her first report card in 5th grade. This is when she received her first
B and her parents were very unhappy. The investigator also learned that Hoa’s parents strongly believe
that a good education is the way to success in life. Both of Hoa’s parents graduated high school but
neither attended college. Hoa’s parents believe their own lack of formal education is the reason they
struggle financially. They currently live in a small 2-bedroom, 1 bath apartment. Hoa and her brother
share a bedroom and Hoa admitted she hears her parents arguing about money frequently. When she
received her first B, her parents began telling her she was going to struggle as they do if she did not pull
her grades up and be successful like her brother. Hoa told the investigator that she is trying very hard to
pull her grades up and make her parents proud of her again.

and behavioral changes.
During the investigation, the Department of Children and Families investigator learned that Hoa’s
older brother takes advanced courses in high school and has a 4.2 grade point average (advance
courses allow for GPA’s to be higher than a 4.0). He is active in multiple academic clubs at school and
his parents are extremely proud of him. The investigator also learned that Hoa had always been a
straight A student until she received her first report card in 5th grade. This is when she received her first
B and her parents were very unhappy. The investigator also learned that Hoa’s parents strongly believe
that a good education is the way to success in life. Both of Hoa’s parents graduated high school but
neither attended college. Hoa’s parents believe their own lack of formal education is the reason they
struggle financially. They currently live in a small 2-bedroom, 1 bath apartment. Hoa and her brother
share a bedroom and Hoa admitted she hears her parents arguing about money frequently. When she
received her first B, her parents began telling her she was going to struggle as they do if she did not pull
her grades up and be successful like her brother. Hoa told the investigator that she is trying very hard to
pull her grades up and make her parents proud of her again.

HN520 – Family Resilience Across the Life Span
Hoa’s Case Study
You are a protective services caseworker and you were assigned to Hoa Nugent’s case. Hoa is a
10-year-old Vietnamese girl who is currently in the 5th grade. She lives with both of her parents and an
older brother who is 15 years old. After an investigation was completed, it was determined that no
abuse had occurred but that the family was at-risk and in need of services to prevent any abuse from
occurring in the future. Hoa’s parents legally immigrated to the United States from Vietnam when she
was only a few months old. Both of Hoa’s parents have very high expectations of her and her brother.
Hoa’s father works at a local grocery store and her mother is a stay at home mom. Over the past few
months, Hoa’s personality has changed drastically. She no longer socializes with her peers at school.
She sits by herself during lunch and does not play with anyone at recess. In class, she is constantly
asking her teacher about how she did on her schoolwork and when she feels she is not doing well on
her work, she cries and makes negative statements about herself such as “I am so stupid” or “I will
never amount to anything if I can’t figure this out”. She has even started crying and crouching down if
anyone around her raises their voice. The abuse report indicates the reporter denied any signs of
physical abuse but was mostly worried about emotional and psychological abuse due to the personality
and behavioral changes.
During the investigation, the Department of Children and Families investigator learned that Hoa’s
older brother takes advanced courses in high school and has a 4.2 grade point average (advance
courses allow for GPA’s to be higher than a 4.0). He is active in multiple academic clubs at school and
his parents are extremely proud of him. The investigator also learned that Hoa had always been a
straight A student until she received her first report card in 5th grade. This is when she received her first

received her first B, her parents began telling her she was going to struggle as they do if she did not pull

CASE STUDY DISCUSSION 2
It is common for social workers to be presented with a crisis situation brought forth by clients, families, communities, and/or organizations. The ultimate goal is to restore the client to equilibrium. The five stages of the crisis are (1) the hazardous event, (2) the vulnerable stage, (3) the precipitating factor, (4) the state of active crisis, and (5) the reintegration or crisis resolution phase.
There are times when a social worker will use more than one theory to assist in conceptualizing the problem and intervention, particularly if the theories complement each other. For example, resiliency theory can be used alongside crisis theory.
To Prepare
· Review the same case study you selected in Week 2.
· Use the Analysis of a Theory Worksheet to help you dissect the theory. Use this tool to dissect the theory, employ the information in the table to complete your Assignment, and then keep it to add to your Theories Study Guide in Week 11.

12Working With FamiliesThe Case of Carol and JosephCa.docx

Working With Families:
The Case of Carol and Joseph
Carol is a 23-year-old, heterosexual, Caucasian female and the
mother of a 1-year-old baby girl. She is currently unemployed,
having previously worked for a house cleaning company. The
baby is healthy and developmentally on target, and she and the
parents appear to be well bonded with one another. Carol lives in
a rented house with her husband, Joseph. Joseph is a 27-year-old,
heterosexual, Hispanic male. He was recently arrested at their
home for a drug deal, which he asserts was a setup. Both parents
were charged with child endangerment because weapons were
found in the child’s crib and drugs were found in the home. The
parents assert that the child never sleeps in the crib but in their
bed. As a result of the parents’ arrest, social services was notified,
and the child was temporarily placed in a kinship care arrangement
with the maternal grandmother, who resides nearby. As a
result of Joseph’s arrest, he was fired from the cleaning company
where he worked, and the family is now experiencing financial
difficulties.
After initial contact was made with the parents, a number of
concerns were noted and the family was recommended for additional
case management. Carol’s mother indicated that she had
concerns about Carol’s drinking habits and stated that Carol’s
father and grandfather were alcoholics. She and the father separated
when Carol was a baby, and Carol has had only limited
contact with him. There appears to be significant tension between
the grandmother and Carol and Joseph. I addressed the alcohol
issue with both parents, who denied there was a problem, but
shortly after the discussion, Carol was involved in a serious car
accident with the baby in the car. She was determined to have been
under the influence of alcohol. I advised Carol that she could not
have any unsupervised contact with her child until she completed
intensive inpatient substance abuse treatment. I made arrangements
for her placement, but after a week, she was discharged
for noncompliance with the rules. She was then referred to an
intensive outpatient program and began therapy there. Initially
her attendance was erratic because she had lost her license as a
result of the DUI. Eventually, however, she became engaged in the
program and began to address her issues. She acknowledged that
she had started using drugs at a very young age but said that she
had only begun drinking in the previous year or so. We discussed
the genetics of her family, and she said that she realized that she
had deteriorated rapidly since beginning to drink and knew that
she simply could not drink alcohol.
Joseph’s mother is deceased, and his father travels extensively
in his job and is not available as a support. Joseph was
very devoted to his mother and was devastated by her premature
death. We discussed the strengths that he and Carol demonstrated
in staying together and working out their p.

The Parker Family
Sara is a 72-year-old widowed Caucasian female who lives in a two-bedroom apartment with her 48-year-old daughter, Stephanie, and six
cats. Sara and her daughter have lived together for the past 10 years, since Stephanie returned home after a failed relationship and was unable
to live independently. Stephanie has a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, and her overall physical health is good. Stephanie has no history of
treatment for alcohol or substance abuse; during her teens she drank and smoked marijuana but no longer uses these substances. When she was
16 years old, Stephanie was hospitalized after her first bipolar episode. She had attempted suicide by swallowing a handful of Tylenol® and
drinking half a bottle of vodka after her first boyfriend broke up with her. She has been hospitalized three times in the past 4 years when she
stopped taking her medications and experienced suicidal ideation. Stephanie’s current medications are Lithium, Paxil®, Abilify®, and
Klonopin®.
Stephanie recently had a brief hospitalization as a result of depressive symptoms. She attends a mental health drop-in center twice a week
to socialize with friends and receives outpatient psychiatric treatment at a local mental health clinic for medication management and weekly
therapy. She is maintaining a part-time job at a local supermarket where she bags groceries and is currently being trained to become a cashier.
Stephanie currently has active Medicare and receives Social Security Disability (SSD).
Sara has recently been hospitalized for depression and has some physical issues. She has documented high blood pressure and
hyperthyroidism, she is slightly underweight, and she is displaying signs of dementia. Sara has no history of alcohol or substance abuse. Her
current medications are Lexapro® and Zyprexa®. Sara has Medicare and receives Social Security benefits and a small pension. She attends a
day treatment program for seniors that is affiliated with a local hospital in her neighborhood. Sara attends the program 3 days a week from
9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and van service is provided free of charge.
A telephone call was made to Adult Protective Services (APS) by the senior day treatment social worker when Sara presented with
increased confusion, poor attention to daily living skills, and statements made about Stephanie’s behavior. Sara told the social worker at the
senior day treatment program that, “My daughter is very argumentative and is throwing all of my things out.” She reported, “We are fighting
like cats and dogs; I’m afraid of her and of losing all my stuff.”
During the home visit, the APS worker observed that the living room was very cluttered, but that the kitchen was fairly clean, with food in
the refrigerator and cabinets. Despite the clutter, all of the doorways, including the front door, had clear egress. The family lives on the first

Connecting Knowledge with Research in Case Studies
Introduction
One of the core elements of social work is the comprehensive assessment of a situation in a case which aids in developing effective interventions. In this regard, the understanding and application of knowledge are imperative in making the most profound decisions. In cases involving adolescents, among the most important knowledge is that on human behavior and social environment which is described as understanding how people relate to their environment including social interactions and relationships. According to Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman (2016), it is important to set realistic goals with the client consistent with the needs and requirements while applying obtained knowledge to implement the developed interventions. This paper entails a case study on Eboni Logan, proposed goals, and relating it with a peer-reviewed article.
Eboni Logan Case
The case used in this project is that of Eboni Logan, a 16-year-old biracial African American/Caucasian female who is two months pregnant. Eboni lives with her mother Darlene, and grandmother, May. She has been working at a fast food restaurant for 10 hours per week. Eboni has a boyfriend named Darian with whom they have been engaging in sexual activities without contraceptives. Both Eboni and Darian have no criminal records nor do they manifest alcohol or drug abuse although they take these elements occasionally. While Eboni’s mother works as an administrative assistant at a local manufacturing company, her father is a mechanic who supports Ebony through social and financial wellbeing. Eboni has recently learned she is pregnant, an aspect that introduces a number of problems for her and the social environment.
Case Problems
The case problems involve Eboni’s pregnancy. First, all her social environment including the grandmother and mother are upset with the situation. Her mother in particular hurled insults while calling her a slut. Her father was also upset although he agreed to provide her with a place to stay. The first challenge in this regard entails the broken relationship with her social environment and especially her mother. The second challenge is that Darian, who is the child’s father, states that he is not ready to support the baby and although he has not mentioned it explicitly, he prefers an abortion which Eboni does not want. The issue in this regard is how Eboni will nature her pregnancy and the baby yet she is still an adolescent and at school which might be forced to terminate for the moment. In addition, it may be worrying about how she will live with her father and stepmother considering the situation.
Goals
The goals, in this case, are informed by the above-identified problems and Eboni as the main client in the situation. The first goal would entail re-establishing the relationship with her social environme ...

COU 680 Week Eight Case Study Nora Nora is a 41-year-o
COU 680 Week Eight Case Study: Nora
Nora is a 41-year-old African American single mother of two young boys, ages 8 and 10. She and her
sons recently evacuated from their home ahead of a major hurricane. They stayed with relatives for two
weeks until they were able to return to their home safely. When they arrived home, they found their
house uninhabitable—a tree had fallen on the house, which led to significant flooding and structural
damage. They will need to live elsewhere until the home can be repaired. While they have made short-
term arrangements to go back to her family’s house, Nora is unsure how long they will be displaced and
is particularly concerned about the commute to her sons’ school and her work. To make matters worse,
she has been formally reprimanded at work for taking time off to meet with the insurance adjuster and
construction team.
Nora is presenting with symptoms of hopelessness, tearfulness, and despair. She feels overwhelmed at
the loss she and her sons have faced and her perceived powerlessness to fix the situation. She notes
feeling disengaged at work and unable to focus in many areas of her life.
History
Nora has been a single mother for the past four years. She and her ex-husband divorced after her
husband’s infidelity, and she and her sons remained in the home. Her ex-husband moved out of town
two years ago and maintains somewhat regular communication with his sons—engaging with them on
social media, speaking to them by phone roughly once a month, and seeing them every six months. Nora
reports that although she has “no hard feelings” toward her ex-husband and strives to have a good co-
parenting relationship, they do not maintain contact outside of his communication with the boys, and he
is not a source of financial or emotional support to her.
Nora has been employed as the general manager of a small chain of local restaurants for the past two-
years. Prior to that she held the manager position for one of the restaurants for nearly ten years. Nora is
hardworking and prides herself on doing a good job, providing strong support and mentorship to her
team, and supporting the local community and its patrons. The recent hurricane has had a dramatic
impact on her work life as well, destroying one of the restaurants and leaving many of her employees
without a job. She has been charged by the restaurant owners to help in the effort to rebuild, which has
only created more strain on her emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Developmental Considerations
Nora was raised as the middle child of three siblings. She reports being close to her siblings and parents
throughout her childhood and being a highly sociable child. She indicates no physical traumas or
developmental delays, but does report that she lost her mother to breast cancer when she was 18 years
old. Nora reports that this was a significant loss for her and her family, and that she has taken on the
role of the mediator and “ ...

Question 1
Family violence laws under review after spate of abuse cases
SINGAPORE — In light of recent high-profile cases of child abuse, the laws are being reviewed to enhance deterrence of family violence and to ensure that those responsible are appropriately dealt with, said Minister for Social and Family Development Tan Chuan-Jin yesterday.
“(We) need to look at our laws in terms of whether there is sufficient deterrence, whether the way consequences are meted out is the way we want to go,” said Mr Tan, who added that the Home Affairs Ministry and Law Ministry are looking into the issue. Two weeks ago, a couple were jailed for their ruthless torture of a two-year-old toddler, Mohamad Daniel Mohamad Nasser, which led to his death last November.
The toddler’s mother, Zaidah, 41, was sentenced to 11 years’ jail for voluntarily causing grievous hurt and child abuse.
Her boyfriend Zaini Jamari, 46, was given a 10-year jail term and 12 strokes of the cane for voluntarily causing grievous hurt to, and ill-treating, the boy.
Two days after the verdict, Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam posted on his Facebook page: “For cases like this, we need to see whether the current legal framework is adequate. They ruthlessly tortured the child for more than a month, and effectively killed him.”
He also said people must be encouraged to make a report “immediately” when they are aware of cases of abuse.
Expressing similar sentiments yesterday, Mr Tan said cases of family violence, including child and elderly abuse, often persist because bystanders have kept silent.
“We always wonder, ‘Why did it happen?’ ... You look at the rest of the people involved, you will alway ...

2 Bio-Psycho-Social Assessment
Bio-psycho-social assessment is a vital social tool in social work practice. A bio-psycho-social assessment helps social work professionals to understand clients’ problems. Usually, the assessment entails three dimensions of the problem; biological, psychological, and social (Melchert, 2015). The bio-psycho-social assessment facilitates the sharing of client’s information between the social workers and other professionals in the mental health environment. The tool helps in outlining various issues about the client, including their current health situation, potential issues that may affect the client in the future. This project focuses on the assessment of adolescent pregnancy.
Part A: 2 Bio-Psycho-Social Assessment
Presenting Issue
The case study presents adolescent pregnancy as a social problem. 3Eboni Logan is a 16-year-old biracial student in the 11th grade. 4Eboni is an honors student and hopes to major in nursing once she joins college. 5 Eboni met Darian, a 17-year-old student four months ago and started dating. They become sexually active and but didn’t use protective methods. 6 Eboni and Darian used withdrawal for birth control. She discovered that she is 2-months pregnant after taking a pregnancy test recently. Now, she is a dilemma of whether to abort or keep the baby.
Demographic Information Eboni, who is the client, in this case, is a biracial female student. 7 Her father, Anthony, is a Caucasian while her mother, Darlene, is a biracial African American/Caucasian.

Ella is a 15-year old high-school freshman. She lives in a small sub.pdf
Ella is a 15-year old high-school freshman. She lives in a small suburban town with her younger
brother, Brody, and her parents, Minka and Bruce. In the past, Ella was always a straight-A
student. She loved school and had many close friends. She was actively involved in cheerleading
and drama club. Ella\'s parents report that over the last 6 months, Ella\'s grades have dropped
significantly. She decided that cheerleading is \"not cool\" and she does not want to be in the
drama club any more. She lost about 15 pounds and is often arguing with her brother and her
family. She does not like to socialize with her friends anymore and is always on the computer but
will not share what she is doing. Ella\'s parents recently reconciled after a 4-month separation.
Bruce was just discharged from a substance-use inpatient center where he was receiving
treatment for alcohol dependence. Her mother carries a diagnosis for anorexia nervosa but has
not displayed any symptoms for 5 years. Both of her parents have been actively engaged in
family counseling and individual therapy as well.
Based on this scenario, answer the following:
What additional information would be helpful for you to effectively form a diagnosis?
What theory of adolescent development would you use to gain an understanding of what is
happening with Ella? Remember, it is often necessary to consider and even apply more than one
theory when working with an adolescent.
How would you compare and contrast the development of Ella\'s issues from a cognitive, social,
and psychodynamic perspective?
Which theory best supports the behaviors that we are currently seeing with Ella?
Solution
The additional information that is required is whethere ella has gone for depression checkups or
has been detected with depression and if she has received therapies.
The theory is the ecological theory which tells about the interaction between indisvisual and the
environment.This is given by URIE BRONFENBRENNER.This theory tells about yow the
adolescents are influenced by family, peers, religion, schools, the media, community, and world
events.
Ella\'s case is the case of depression causes due to social anxiety as she doesnt want to meet
people and her family was seprated for 4 months. She is going through phases but it doesnt
include cognitive anxiety.
The theory of social cognitive learning is very important for her to understand the relations and
society..

Infancy and Early Childhood Development of Drug Addicted Children
While in the womb fetus is in the it feeds off the food intake and nourishment through the
placenta, which also means that any substances such as drugs, alcohol or tobacco that enters the
mothers system flows through the placenta and is delivered to the fetus as well. From birth to three
years old is the most critical period in a child’s development process. Children of mothers that use
drugs while they are pregnant increase the likelihood that the child will suffer from some form of
birth defect and oftentimes born prematurely. The lasting effects of prenatal cocaine affect the
growth of the fetus physically. The results of the increase of premature birth, and generalized growth
retardation including decreased birth weight, shorter body length, and smaller head circumference
(Bigsby et al, 2011; Covington et al, 2002; Gouin et al, 2011; Mayes et al, 2003).
These toxic chemicals can sometimes have irreversible damage that affect the child’s normal
development process with regards to proper development of organs and brain function.
From the ages of 0-2 months old a child are expected to have develop motor skills that would
include the ability to recognize different colors and shapes, kicking waving, have the ability to
recognize familiar voices and their sleeping patterns would change, meaning that as they grow older
children should be sleeping a little longer than a new born baby. Children from the ages of 2
months old should be able to extend their arm and reach and pick up toys and other objects,
hand coordination by shifting objects from one hand to another. The child should be able to pick up
finger food and bring it to their mouths. Identifying a problem with a child is when they are not able
to perform these age appropriate task.
A toddler ages 3 to 5 years old should be able to perform task such as holding crayons drawing horizontal lines, circles and have the ability to fold and snip paper with scissors. Children that have been exposed to substance may struggle with completing these tasks or will develop these cognitive skills at a slower rate. One study using play behavior (Rodning, Beckwith, & Howard, 1989a) found that preterm toddlers exposed to cocaine
and other drugs to show poorly developed play behaviors, and a lack of interest and motivation in
unstructured situations, in comparison to a group of high risk preterm children. Using play behavior,
one study found preterm toddlers exposed to cocaine and other drugs to show poorly. However, by
3 years of age, there were no changes associated with fine motor performance or behavior observed
with the child externalizing behavioral problems at age 5 years old. Stress and psychological
symptoms of caregivers were found to be in direct correlation with increased child behavioral issues;
indicating that the effected children may have m.

Assessment Criteria
a) Critically examine the policy or policies that you consider impact upon a client group
Suggest ways that policy could be changed to improve the life outcomes for those with whom you are working.
Part 1
What is this?
Not just describing
Critical analysis – a reminder
Critically examine
What is the political and ideological underpinning of the social policy?
What is the intended outcome of the policy? Is it achieving this gaol?
How the policy impacts your client group – both positive and negative impacts
How is the policy implemented – for example income support as delivered through Centrelink
Is it the policy or the service delivery that is the problem
Prompt questions
Consider vulnerable populations/clients you work with or those that interest you.
There are likely to be many policies that impact the group you choose. It is important to acknowledge the ways that economic and social policies intersect.
You can select one main policy or several policies for the purpose of the assignment.
e.g. women – are impacted by economic policy, income support, parenting payments and family tax benefits, child care support and many more.
recap
As you have worked through this unit, there are likely to have been topics or issues that have resonated with your , or really grated you.
For example, do you feel angry that people on income support payments appear to be allowed to just sit around and do nothing? Do you think the government supports them to just do nothing?
What would happen if there was a continued tightening of conditions for receiving income support?
Would anyone suffer? Would this matter? Would this impact society?
Why influence change?
Do you consider the government approach to income support is punitive?
Does the approach of welfare conditionality under a neoliberal government leave vulnerable people at risk?
What would drive your approach to intervene in this area of macro policy compared to the approach you would take if you fully supported government’s tightening of access to income support?
Alternatively
It is important to know your current world view and values as you enter any field of human services practice.
This will ensure that your tactics and strategies for influencing policy are transparent and appropriate.
Do your own values and philosophy align with those of your professional association?
Articulate your own theoretical perspective
Develop a framework that you would adopt for influencing policy change th.

CASE STUDY DISCUSSION 2
It is common for social workers to be presented with a crisis situation brought forth by clients, families, communities, and/or organizations. The ultimate goal is to restore the client to equilibrium. The five stages of the crisis are (1) the hazardous event, (2) the vulnerable stage, (3) the precipitating factor, (4) the state of active crisis, and (5) the reintegration or crisis resolution phase.
There are times when a social worker will use more than one theory to assist in conceptualizing the problem and intervention, particularly if the theories complement each other. For example, resiliency theory can be used alongside crisis theory.
To Prepare
· Review the same case study you selected in Week 2.
· Use the Analysis of a Theory Worksheet to help you dissect the theory. Use this tool to dissect the theory, employ the information in the table to complete your Assignment, and then keep it to add to your Theories Study Guide in Week 11.

Working With Families:
The Case of Carol and Joseph
Carol is a 23-year-old, heterosexual, Caucasian female and the
mother of a 1-year-old baby girl. She is currently unemployed,
having previously worked for a house cleaning company. The
baby is healthy and developmentally on target, and she and the
parents appear to be well bonded with one another. Carol lives in
a rented house with her husband, Joseph. Joseph is a 27-year-old,
heterosexual, Hispanic male. He was recently arrested at their
home for a drug deal, which he asserts was a setup. Both parents
were charged with child endangerment because weapons were
found in the child’s crib and drugs were found in the home. The
parents assert that the child never sleeps in the crib but in their
bed. As a result of the parents’ arrest, social services was notified,
and the child was temporarily placed in a kinship care arrangement
with the maternal grandmother, who resides nearby. As a
result of Joseph’s arrest, he was fired from the cleaning company
where he worked, and the family is now experiencing financial
difficulties.
After initial contact was made with the parents, a number of
concerns were noted and the family was recommended for additional
case management. Carol’s mother indicated that she had
concerns about Carol’s drinking habits and stated that Carol’s
father and grandfather were alcoholics. She and the father separated
when Carol was a baby, and Carol has had only limited
contact with him. There appears to be significant tension between
the grandmother and Carol and Joseph. I addressed the alcohol
issue with both parents, who denied there was a problem, but
shortly after the discussion, Carol was involved in a serious car
accident with the baby in the car. She was determined to have been
under the influence of alcohol. I advised Carol that she could not
have any unsupervised contact with her child until she completed
intensive inpatient substance abuse treatment. I made arrangements
for her placement, but after a week, she was discharged
for noncompliance with the rules. She was then referred to an
intensive outpatient program and began therapy there. Initially
her attendance was erratic because she had lost her license as a
result of the DUI. Eventually, however, she became engaged in the
program and began to address her issues. She acknowledged that
she had started using drugs at a very young age but said that she
had only begun drinking in the previous year or so. We discussed
the genetics of her family, and she said that she realized that she
had deteriorated rapidly since beginning to drink and knew that
she simply could not drink alcohol.
Joseph’s mother is deceased, and his father travels extensively
in his job and is not available as a support. Joseph was
very devoted to his mother and was devastated by her premature
death. We discussed the strengths that he and Carol demonstrated
in staying together and working out their p.

The Parker Family
Sara is a 72-year-old widowed Caucasian female who lives in a two-bedroom apartment with her 48-year-old daughter, Stephanie, and six
cats. Sara and her daughter have lived together for the past 10 years, since Stephanie returned home after a failed relationship and was unable
to live independently. Stephanie has a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, and her overall physical health is good. Stephanie has no history of
treatment for alcohol or substance abuse; during her teens she drank and smoked marijuana but no longer uses these substances. When she was
16 years old, Stephanie was hospitalized after her first bipolar episode. She had attempted suicide by swallowing a handful of Tylenol® and
drinking half a bottle of vodka after her first boyfriend broke up with her. She has been hospitalized three times in the past 4 years when she
stopped taking her medications and experienced suicidal ideation. Stephanie’s current medications are Lithium, Paxil®, Abilify®, and
Klonopin®.
Stephanie recently had a brief hospitalization as a result of depressive symptoms. She attends a mental health drop-in center twice a week
to socialize with friends and receives outpatient psychiatric treatment at a local mental health clinic for medication management and weekly
therapy. She is maintaining a part-time job at a local supermarket where she bags groceries and is currently being trained to become a cashier.
Stephanie currently has active Medicare and receives Social Security Disability (SSD).
Sara has recently been hospitalized for depression and has some physical issues. She has documented high blood pressure and
hyperthyroidism, she is slightly underweight, and she is displaying signs of dementia. Sara has no history of alcohol or substance abuse. Her
current medications are Lexapro® and Zyprexa®. Sara has Medicare and receives Social Security benefits and a small pension. She attends a
day treatment program for seniors that is affiliated with a local hospital in her neighborhood. Sara attends the program 3 days a week from
9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and van service is provided free of charge.
A telephone call was made to Adult Protective Services (APS) by the senior day treatment social worker when Sara presented with
increased confusion, poor attention to daily living skills, and statements made about Stephanie’s behavior. Sara told the social worker at the
senior day treatment program that, “My daughter is very argumentative and is throwing all of my things out.” She reported, “We are fighting
like cats and dogs; I’m afraid of her and of losing all my stuff.”
During the home visit, the APS worker observed that the living room was very cluttered, but that the kitchen was fairly clean, with food in
the refrigerator and cabinets. Despite the clutter, all of the doorways, including the front door, had clear egress. The family lives on the first

Connecting Knowledge with Research in Case Studies
Introduction
One of the core elements of social work is the comprehensive assessment of a situation in a case which aids in developing effective interventions. In this regard, the understanding and application of knowledge are imperative in making the most profound decisions. In cases involving adolescents, among the most important knowledge is that on human behavior and social environment which is described as understanding how people relate to their environment including social interactions and relationships. According to Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman (2016), it is important to set realistic goals with the client consistent with the needs and requirements while applying obtained knowledge to implement the developed interventions. This paper entails a case study on Eboni Logan, proposed goals, and relating it with a peer-reviewed article.
Eboni Logan Case
The case used in this project is that of Eboni Logan, a 16-year-old biracial African American/Caucasian female who is two months pregnant. Eboni lives with her mother Darlene, and grandmother, May. She has been working at a fast food restaurant for 10 hours per week. Eboni has a boyfriend named Darian with whom they have been engaging in sexual activities without contraceptives. Both Eboni and Darian have no criminal records nor do they manifest alcohol or drug abuse although they take these elements occasionally. While Eboni’s mother works as an administrative assistant at a local manufacturing company, her father is a mechanic who supports Ebony through social and financial wellbeing. Eboni has recently learned she is pregnant, an aspect that introduces a number of problems for her and the social environment.
Case Problems
The case problems involve Eboni’s pregnancy. First, all her social environment including the grandmother and mother are upset with the situation. Her mother in particular hurled insults while calling her a slut. Her father was also upset although he agreed to provide her with a place to stay. The first challenge in this regard entails the broken relationship with her social environment and especially her mother. The second challenge is that Darian, who is the child’s father, states that he is not ready to support the baby and although he has not mentioned it explicitly, he prefers an abortion which Eboni does not want. The issue in this regard is how Eboni will nature her pregnancy and the baby yet she is still an adolescent and at school which might be forced to terminate for the moment. In addition, it may be worrying about how she will live with her father and stepmother considering the situation.
Goals
The goals, in this case, are informed by the above-identified problems and Eboni as the main client in the situation. The first goal would entail re-establishing the relationship with her social environme ...

COU 680 Week Eight Case Study Nora Nora is a 41-year-o
COU 680 Week Eight Case Study: Nora
Nora is a 41-year-old African American single mother of two young boys, ages 8 and 10. She and her
sons recently evacuated from their home ahead of a major hurricane. They stayed with relatives for two
weeks until they were able to return to their home safely. When they arrived home, they found their
house uninhabitable—a tree had fallen on the house, which led to significant flooding and structural
damage. They will need to live elsewhere until the home can be repaired. While they have made short-
term arrangements to go back to her family’s house, Nora is unsure how long they will be displaced and
is particularly concerned about the commute to her sons’ school and her work. To make matters worse,
she has been formally reprimanded at work for taking time off to meet with the insurance adjuster and
construction team.
Nora is presenting with symptoms of hopelessness, tearfulness, and despair. She feels overwhelmed at
the loss she and her sons have faced and her perceived powerlessness to fix the situation. She notes
feeling disengaged at work and unable to focus in many areas of her life.
History
Nora has been a single mother for the past four years. She and her ex-husband divorced after her
husband’s infidelity, and she and her sons remained in the home. Her ex-husband moved out of town
two years ago and maintains somewhat regular communication with his sons—engaging with them on
social media, speaking to them by phone roughly once a month, and seeing them every six months. Nora
reports that although she has “no hard feelings” toward her ex-husband and strives to have a good co-
parenting relationship, they do not maintain contact outside of his communication with the boys, and he
is not a source of financial or emotional support to her.
Nora has been employed as the general manager of a small chain of local restaurants for the past two-
years. Prior to that she held the manager position for one of the restaurants for nearly ten years. Nora is
hardworking and prides herself on doing a good job, providing strong support and mentorship to her
team, and supporting the local community and its patrons. The recent hurricane has had a dramatic
impact on her work life as well, destroying one of the restaurants and leaving many of her employees
without a job. She has been charged by the restaurant owners to help in the effort to rebuild, which has
only created more strain on her emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Developmental Considerations
Nora was raised as the middle child of three siblings. She reports being close to her siblings and parents
throughout her childhood and being a highly sociable child. She indicates no physical traumas or
developmental delays, but does report that she lost her mother to breast cancer when she was 18 years

Question 1
Family violence laws under review after spate of abuse cases
SINGAPORE — In light of recent high-profile cases of child abuse, the laws are being reviewed to enhance deterrence of family violence and to ensure that those responsible are appropriately dealt with, said Minister for Social and Family Development Tan Chuan-Jin yesterday.
“(We) need to look at our laws in terms of whether there is sufficient deterrence, whether the way consequences are meted out is the way we want to go,” said Mr Tan, who added that the Home Affairs Ministry and Law Ministry are looking into the issue. Two weeks ago, a couple were jailed for their ruthless torture of a two-year-old toddler, Mohamad Daniel Mohamad Nasser, which led to his death last November.
The toddler’s mother, Zaidah, 41, was sentenced to 11 years’ jail for voluntarily causing grievous hurt and child abuse.
Her boyfriend Zaini Jamari, 46, was given a 10-year jail term and 12 strokes of the cane for voluntarily causing grievous hurt to, and ill-treating, the boy.
Two days after the verdict, Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam posted on his Facebook page: “For cases like this, we need to see whether the current legal framework is adequate. They ruthlessly tortured the child for more than a month, and effectively killed him.”
He also said people must be encouraged to make a report “immediately” when they are aware of cases of abuse.
Expressing similar sentiments yesterday, Mr Tan said cases of family violence, including child and elderly abuse, often persist because bystanders have kept silent.
“We always wonder, ‘Why did it happen?’ ... You look at the rest of the people involved, you will alway ...

2 Bio-Psycho-Social Assessment
Bio-psycho-social assessment is a vital social tool in social work practice. A bio-psycho-social assessment helps social work professionals to understand clients’ problems. Usually, the assessment entails three dimensions of the problem; biological, psychological, and social (Melchert, 2015). The bio-psycho-social assessment facilitates the sharing of client’s information between the social workers and other professionals in the mental health environment. The tool helps in outlining various issues about the client, including their current health situation, potential issues that may affect the client in the future. This project focuses on the assessment of adolescent pregnancy.
Part A: 2 Bio-Psycho-Social Assessment
Presenting Issue
The case study presents adolescent pregnancy as a social problem. 3Eboni Logan is a 16-year-old biracial student in the 11th grade. 4Eboni is an honors student and hopes to major in nursing once she joins college. 5 Eboni met Darian, a 17-year-old student four months ago and started dating. They become sexually active and but didn’t use protective methods. 6 Eboni and Darian used withdrawal for birth control. She discovered that she is 2-months pregnant after taking a pregnancy test recently. Now, she is a dilemma of whether to abort or keep the baby.
Demographic Information Eboni, who is the client, in this case, is a biracial female student. 7 Her father, Anthony, is a Caucasian while her mother, Darlene, is a biracial African American/Caucasian.

Ella is a 15-year old high-school freshman. She lives in a small sub.pdf
Ella is a 15-year old high-school freshman. She lives in a small suburban town with her younger
brother, Brody, and her parents, Minka and Bruce. In the past, Ella was always a straight-A
student. She loved school and had many close friends. She was actively involved in cheerleading
and drama club. Ella\'s parents report that over the last 6 months, Ella\'s grades have dropped
significantly. She decided that cheerleading is \"not cool\" and she does not want to be in the
drama club any more. She lost about 15 pounds and is often arguing with her brother and her
family. She does not like to socialize with her friends anymore and is always on the computer but
will not share what she is doing. Ella\'s parents recently reconciled after a 4-month separation.
Bruce was just discharged from a substance-use inpatient center where he was receiving
treatment for alcohol dependence. Her mother carries a diagnosis for anorexia nervosa but has
not displayed any symptoms for 5 years. Both of her parents have been actively engaged in
family counseling and individual therapy as well.
Based on this scenario, answer the following:
What additional information would be helpful for you to effectively form a diagnosis?
What theory of adolescent development would you use to gain an understanding of what is
happening with Ella? Remember, it is often necessary to consider and even apply more than one
theory when working with an adolescent.
How would you compare and contrast the development of Ella\'s issues from a cognitive, social,
and psychodynamic perspective?
Which theory best supports the behaviors that we are currently seeing with Ella?
Solution
The additional information that is required is whethere ella has gone for depression checkups or
has been detected with depression and if she has received therapies.
The theory is the ecological theory which tells about the interaction between indisvisual and the
environment.This is given by URIE BRONFENBRENNER.This theory tells about yow the
adolescents are influenced by family, peers, religion, schools, the media, community, and world
events.
Ella\'s case is the case of depression causes due to social anxiety as she doesnt want to meet
people and her family was seprated for 4 months. She is going through phases but it doesnt
include cognitive anxiety.
The theory of social cognitive learning is very important for her to understand the relations and
society..

Infancy and Early Childhood Development of Drug Addicted Children
While in the womb fetus is in the it feeds off the food intake and nourishment through the
placenta, which also means that any substances such as drugs, alcohol or tobacco that enters the
mothers system flows through the placenta and is delivered to the fetus as well. From birth to three
years old is the most critical period in a child’s development process. Children of mothers that use
drugs while they are pregnant increase the likelihood that the child will suffer from some form of
birth defect and oftentimes born prematurely. The lasting effects of prenatal cocaine affect the
growth of the fetus physically. The results of the increase of premature birth, and generalized growth
retardation including decreased birth weight, shorter body length, and smaller head circumference
(Bigsby et al, 2011; Covington et al, 2002; Gouin et al, 2011; Mayes et al, 2003).
These toxic chemicals can sometimes have irreversible damage that affect the child’s normal
development process with regards to proper development of organs and brain function.
From the ages of 0-2 months old a child are expected to have develop motor skills that would
include the ability to recognize different colors and shapes, kicking waving, have the ability to
recognize familiar voices and their sleeping patterns would change, meaning that as they grow older
children should be sleeping a little longer than a new born baby. Children from the ages of 2
months old should be able to extend their arm and reach and pick up toys and other objects,
hand coordination by shifting objects from one hand to another. The child should be able to pick up
finger food and bring it to their mouths. Identifying a problem with a child is when they are not able
to perform these age appropriate task.
A toddler ages 3 to 5 years old should be able to perform task such as holding crayons drawing horizontal lines, circles and have the ability to fold and snip paper with scissors. Children that have been exposed to substance may struggle with completing these tasks or will develop these cognitive skills at a slower rate. One study using play behavior (Rodning, Beckwith, & Howard, 1989a) found that preterm toddlers exposed to cocaine
and other drugs to show poorly developed play behaviors, and a lack of interest and motivation in
unstructured situations, in comparison to a group of high risk preterm children. Using play behavior,
one study found preterm toddlers exposed to cocaine and other drugs to show poorly. However, by
3 years of age, there were no changes associated with fine motor performance or behavior observed
with the child externalizing behavioral problems at age 5 years old. Stress and psychological
symptoms of caregivers were found to be in direct correlation with increased child behavioral issues;
indicating that the effected children may have m.

Kanopy Films Option 6: Arab Invasion of Andalusia
The film, Arab Invasion of Andalusia (AIA), narrates the story that ignited a period of 800 years of what would be the Muslim reign in the region of the Iberian Peninsula. Information regarding the said events has been hard to come by with the available sources lacking the much-needed reliability. However, armed with minimal sources of information, the creators of the documentary set to answer tricky questions on a topic where most people have failed. While AIA presents a fascinating experience for history scholars and other interested parties alike, the film still lacks in terms of the accuracy of the submitted data, making it unreliable to some extent.
The documentary is primarily based on the accounts detailed in a document whose author did not live the said ordeals. A first-hand account experience of events usually is accurate since the narrator can give more details, which are valid and reliable. However, in the mentioned film, the creators rely on data contained in a document known as “The chronicle of 754”. According to Gearon, the author of the material was a native Christian who lived in Iberia, whose real identity was unknown (Gearon, 45). Gearon further highlights that the said author lived in a location far from the center of all the action. Among the unproven details mentioned in The Chronicle of 754 is the inaccurate number of combat participants present in different battles. Other accounts such as that of Abd al-Hakem equally fall short in detail since the author was over 3,000 miles away from the invasion. Therefore, AIA fails in providing accurate data to some of the pressing questions that the audience may have.
The documentary fails to convince the audience if the events qualified to be termed as an ordinary raid or a full-blown invasion. As Gearon points out, Tariq's team that comprised of Berbers had set out on a grabbing spree since they knew the riches that the Iberian Penisula possessed (Gearon 47). Their knowledge was informed by the previous trade engagements they had with the locals. Several accounts on Andalusia, modern-day Spain, confirm that the region was vastly abundant in diverse ways ranging from natural resources to other essentials that were prominent for prosperity (Shamice 129). The area also enjoyed a rich culture championed by its residents. Therefore, personal gain, which topped the agenda of Tariq's troops, most likely quenched their thirst for a proper invasion. Invasions, unlike raids, are meant to achieve a complete takeover of the targeted region.
Two explanations further put to doubt the idea of invasion, as presented in the film. The first one centers on the composition of the invaders and those invaded. For it to qualify to be an Arab invasion of Andalusia (Spain), the invaders had to comprise of individuals solely from an Arab background. If not, a majority of them had to have links t.

Introduction
The purpose of my speech is to describe the validity and importance of the social justice warriors group of individuals bringing out the key milestones required for one to be regarded as a real warrior that fought against social injustices in the society which in turn let to increased social justice. My speech explains how these group of individuals have been perceived wrongly despite their efforts to bring into existence cases like civil rights, feminism and anti-racial discrimination. In my speech I unleashed some of the ways in which you can identify these warriors in the and appreciate their actions and support towards fighting social injustices in the society. With the rampant increase in cases of social injustices as well as the lost reputation over this group of people whom some took the advantage to start seeking for self-enrichment like through politics and thus lead to the controversies on how to determine the real warrior of social justice.
Body
To open up my speech I brought in the statistics of the world victims of social justice and an indication of how individuals have risen to fight against social injustices through advocating for feminism, civil rights in the society, demolition of human discrimination based on race and country of origin. These actions have activated the need for such individuals to be termed as the heroes in the support of social justice but since them they have faced strong opposition from the divergent opinions from the public that support the need to have social justice believers and not heroes (Soli.et.al. pg 440). My thesis statement was very clear and supported with visuals where pictures of how victims of social justice beneficiaries portrayed a healthy outlook as compared to how they appeared when injustice was ruling the land. I believe my presentation of the thesis statement was a bit fair since the main points were stated and even attached some illustrations on how these warriors are being despised in the society.
Within my presentation I was able to make clear transitions in terms of visuals and the illustrations with an aim to get in touch with the audience who looked attentive based on their facial expression (Justice.et.al. pg 85). This made me confirm that most of them had gone through different cases of social injustice and were really ready to listen and integrate the ways on how join up the campaign against social injustices where one of the ways is to identify and appreciate the social justice warriors in the society.
Strengths and Weaknesses
My strengths during the presentation were from the personal presentation skills where I could speak with a lot of courage and boldness in that it was difficult for most people to doubt my words. Stage management and audience involvement provided a boost to my presentation since they enabled my audience to be free and could ask questions freely. The main .

Turning Point
When growing up, children grow up wishing to be doctors, lawyers, surgeons, engineers or pilots mostly because these careers are regarded as high prestige in the society. However, very few of them desire to be teachers due to the perception that it is tiresome, low paying and requires a lot of work input. However, teaching is one of the most exciting jobs since it gives on a chance to help mold future career paths of different specialists such that in one class, it can consist of over fifty careers. Alternatively, good teachers act as role models due to their constant advice, sharing’s on life experiences and challenging students not to limit themselves to small achievements. As such, even as students go about their daily activities or after school, they always remember the teachings of a particular teacher and relate the activities thus being able to make better choices. Alternatively, the joy of teaching emanates from seeing other people make it in life or achieve their dreams and associating with their success.
The person who led me to consider a turning point was Peter Banks, my high school English teacher. He was inspiring in his lessons which he taught through life experiences and although he lacked technical expertise, when he talked, everyone played attention since he would communicate emotionally and make the whole process exiting using facial expressions, voice variations and using rhetorical questions which led us to think critically. Before he came along, English lessons were boring since we would lead literature books throughout the lessons, a process that had become tiring and monotonous which resulted to fall in grades. By good luck, the board of education showed concern on the issue and terminated the previous teacher. Peter would come to class, ask everyone to close their books and ask us to write what was on our thoughts even though it was ridiculous which would then discuss as a class. One of his major lessons was learning to write based on feelings as a way of being truthful to oneself and aiding the reader to form a connection.
Most teachers want to come to class, give assignments and wait for the time to lapse especially at the beginning of an academic year. However, this was not the case for Peter who would use any available chance to counsel us on what to expect in college and how to cope. He would share stories of his college life and in one particular case, he told us about the first time he was late for an exam because he overslept but he lied to the professor that he had fainted on the way to class and had to be rushed to the campus clinic. As such, Banks taught us on the importance of honest and ways of avoiding misconducts in future which could result in huge implications. For those of us who loved writing, he encouraged us to read most of the books in the library and analyze them amongst ourselves. Peter also supported talented individuals.

A Modest Proposal
For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland,
from being a burden on their parents or country,
and for making them beneficial to the publick.
by Dr. Jonathan Swift
1729
It is a melancholy object to those, who walk through this great town, or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads, and cabbin-doors crowded with beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six children, all in rags, and importuning every passenger for an alms. These mothers, instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in stroling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants who, as they grow up, either turn thieves for want of work, or leave their dear native country, to fight for the Pretender in Spain, or sell themselves to the Barbadoes.
I think it is agreed by all parties, that this prodigious number of children in the arms, or on the backs, or at the heels of their mothers, and frequently of their fathers, is in the present deplorable state of the kingdom, a very great additional grievance; and therefore whoever could find out a fair, cheap and easy method of making these children sound and useful members of the commonwealth, would deserve so well of the publick, as to have his statue of him set up for a preserver of the nation.
But my intention is very far from being confined to provide only for the children of professed beggars: it is of a much greater extent, and shall take in the whole number of infants at a certain age, who are born of parents in effect as little able to support them, as those who demand our charity in the streets.
As to my own part, having turned my thoughts for many years upon this important subject, and maturely weighed the several schemes of our projectors, I have always found them grossly mistaken in their computation. It is true, a child just dropt from its dam, may be supported by her milk, for a solar year, with little other nourishment: at most not above the value of two shillings, which the mother may certainly get, or the value in scraps, by her lawful occupation of begging; and it is exactly at one year old that I propose to provide for them in such a manner, as, instead of being a charge upon their parents, or the parish, or wanting food and raiment for the rest of their lives, they shall, on the contrary, contribute to the feeding, and partly to the clothing of many thousands.
There is likewise another great advantage in my scheme, that it will prevent those voluntary abortions, and that horrid practice of women murdering their bastard children, alas! too frequent.

“Portable grace,” as Eclov calls it,
reveals how to minister outside the
walls of the church through hospital
ministry, death and grief, childbirth
visits, or home and work visitation.
One practical application that pastors
should hear is that one does not need
to be invited to go. As young pastors,
we usually do not go where we are
not invited, but the author recom-
mends challenging that thinking by
going proactively. i have taken this
advice, and it really has been a great
blessing for me and for those i’m
visiting.
Probably one of the most practical
chapters in the book is “March into
the Smoke.” When times are scary,
cloudy and daunting, a leader can
easily experience disorientation and
loss of focus. this section of the book
is for such pastors who are weary and
tired. it emphasizes the importance
of being healthy on the inside so that
you can take care of those on the out-
side. the pastor may project unre-
solved anger onto the congregation
without even realizing it. the things
he brings up are valid, but one thing
he is lacking is the how-to or even
the call to action for the pastor to get
help with anger or depression.
One concluding critique: in the
midst of his stories and encounters,
the author interjects his unique doc-
trinal understandings in the mix of
his stories and illustrations.
consequently, some of the conversa-
tions and interactions with others
would be very different if processed
in different faith tradition contexts.
the reader simply needs to filter and
adapt accordingly.
Pastoral Graces is a good book for
those who need encouragement. i
found the book to be helpful when it
comes to personal connections with
parishioners. As pastors, we can get
burned out and depressed, and feel
very much alone. this book is not a
fix-all, but it is a reminder that god
really does love us and care about us
as his messengers of grace. i cannot
say this book is for every pastor, but i
do recommend it for the young pas-
tors, new pastors, and discouraged
pastors who are on the verge of giv-
ing up. i believe the author accom-
plished what he set out to accom-
plish.

Susan serves on the city building commission.The city is plannin.docx
Susan serves on the city building commission.
The city is planning to build a new subway system to extend the reach of the subway further out from the city center.
Susan’s cousin, Sam, owns Subway Mobility Co., submitted the lowest bid for the system.
Susan knows that Sam could complete the job for the amount in his bid.
But she also knows that once Sam finishes this job, he will probably sell his company and retire.
Susan is concerned that Subway Mobility’s subsequent management might not be as easy to work with if revisions need to be made on the subway system after its completion.
She is torn as to whether she should tell the city about the potential changes in Subway Mobility’s management.
If the city knew about the potential change in Subway Mobility’s management, it might prefer to give the K to one of Subway’s competitors, whose bid was only slightly higher than Subway’s was..
Does Susan have an ethical obligation to disclose the information about Sam to the city planning commission?

SUSAN GLASPELL TRIFLES SCENE The kitchen in the now aba.docx
SUSAN GLASPELL: TRIFLES
SCENE: The kitchen in the now abandoned farmhouse of John Wright, a gloomy kitchen, and left without having been put in order—unwashed pans under the sink, a loaf of bread outside the breadbox, a dish towel on the table—other signs of incompleted work. At the rear the outer door opens, and the Sheriff comes in, followed by the County Attorney and Hale. The Sheriff and Hale are men in middle life, the County Attorney is a young man; all are much bundled up and go at once to the stove. They are followed by the two women—the Sheriff’s Wife first; she is a slight wiry woman, a thin nervous face. Mrs. Hale is larger and would ordinarily be called more comfortable looking, but she is disturbed now and looks fearfully about as she enters. The women have come in slowly, and stand close together near the door.
County Attorney (rubbing his hands): This feels good. Come up to the fire, ladies.
Mrs. Peters (after taking a step forward): I’m not—cold.
Sheriff (unbuttoning his overcoat and stepping away from the stove as if to the beginning of official business): Now, Mr. Hale, before we move things about, you explain to Mr. Henderson just what you saw when you came here yesterday morning.
County Attorney: By the way, has anything been moved? Are things just as you left them yesterday?
Sheriff (looking about): It’s just the same. When it dropped below zero last night, I thought I’d better send Frank out this morning to make a fire for us—no use getting pneumonia with a big case on, but I told him not to touch anything except the stove—and you know Frank.
County Attorney: Somebody should have been left here yesterday.
Sheriff: Oh—yesterday. When I had to send Frank to Morris Center for that man who went crazy—I want you to know I had my hands full yesterday. I knew you could get back from Omaha by today, and as long as I went over everything here myself—
County Attorney: Well, Mr. Hale, tell just what happened when you came here yesterday morning.
Hale: Harry and I had started to town with a load of potatoes. We came along the road from my place;and as I got here, I said, “I’m going to see if I can’t get John Wright to go in with me on a party telephone.” I spoke to Wright about it once before, and he put me off, saying folks talked too much anyway, and all he asked was peace and quiet—I guess you know about how much he talked himself;but I thought maybe if I went to the house and talked about it before his wife, though I said to Harry that I didn’t know as what his wife wanted made much difference to John—
County Attorney: Let’s talk about that later, Mr. Hale. I do want to talk about that, but tell now just what happened when you got to the house.
Hale: I didn’t hear or see anything; I knocked at the door, and still it was all quiet inside. I knew they must be up, it was past eight o’clock. So I knocked again, and .

Susan Wolf thinks that that meaning has both a subjective and an.docx
Susan Wolf thinks that that meaning has both a subjective and an objective component. On one hand, a person must enjoy, appreciate, or, in some broad sense, engage positively with something in order for it to contribute to their life’s meaning. On the other hand, they must be making an objective contribution to something that is valuable on its own, not something valuable just for how it benefits them. Meaningful lives participate in something larger than the individual whose life it is. Begin your paper by explaining the "passion view," the "larger than oneself view," and Wolf's own hybrid view of meaning in life.
Then, give your own example of something that does or could ass extraordinary meaning to your life. Do not use Wolf's own examples - be creative! Explain how that thing conforms to Wolf's hybrid theory of meaning in life. Then identify what you think is the biggest obstacle to living a meaningful life in today's society. Why is it such a big obstacle? This can be either an obstacle that you yourself are facing or something that you think prevents other people from living a life that is as meaningful as it could be.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

SWK313 Assessment 2 Case Studies - Essay Case study 1 Ba.docx
- 1. SWK313 Assessment 2 Case Studies - Essay Case study 1: Bailey Organisation type: Youth support service Bailey is 16 years old and left home 8 months ago. She lives in a regional town with limited employment options for young people. Since leaving home Bailey has stayed with various friends and tried living with her grandmother (Karen). She moves around, staying with friends when she can. She heard about the youth support service as a place for food and to charge her phone. After visiting several times for emergency assistance, Bailey has been referred for ongoing support and case management services. At this time she has no stable accommodation and is not working or attending school. Her mother (Frida) and stepfather (Michael) live in a smaller town close by. Her biological father lives in Malaysia and she has not had contact with him since she was 3 years old. Bailey has an older sister, Dana (age 21) who attends university interstate. Bailey has told the youth service she gets along ok with her mother and sister but the reason she does not return home is because she does not get along with her stepfather. She used to see the school counsellor when she attended school but had never told her mother about this. Case study 2: Maya & Rifat
- 2. Organisation type: Refugee & Migrant Support Service Rifat & his wife Maya are a couple with two children (ages 11, 9). The family are from Syria and arrived in Australia 3 years ago as part of the Humanitarian and Refugee program. Rifatl’s brother had been politically active in Syria and after he disappeared, local authorities began to target his family members. After a long and arduous journey the family travelled to a refugee camp in Turkey before being accepted to come to Australia. After receiving some support when they first arrived, the children attend school and Rifat found work as a mechanic. However some months ago he witnessed a violent crime at the business next door. He was involved in providing a witness statement to the police, however since then he has not been able to return to work and lost his job. He is increasingly spending time at home and does not allow visitors. Maya’s English is limited and she does not have employment but has formed has some close friendships with families from the Syrian community. Case study 3: Marion & Evan & Sean Organisation type: Family support service Marion is 64 and has the full time care of their 5 year old grandson, Sean. Her son Evan (age 28) and daughter-in-law Skye have been unable to look after Sean due to periods of drug use leading to the involvement of Child Protection services. No formal orders are currently in place and Evan occasionally visits Sean at Marion’s place. There have been some times in the past when Evan and Skye have visited when they
- 3. are under the influence of drugs or made threats and Marion has called the police. During his most recent visit Evan said he has finally left Skye and wants Sean to live with him. Marion experienced violence in her relationship with Evan’s father who does not have any contact with the family. Marion also stated she experienced the loss of her father at the age of 6, due to illness, and witnessed her own mother struggle when she remarried a man who was violent when using alcohol. Case study 4: Shane & Robin Organisation type: Carer support service Shane is 57 and Robin is 49. The couple have two teenage sons (aged 15 and 18). Shane was looking forward to retirement when his youngest child left school however he has recently been diagnosed with early onset dementia and has just left work. Up until this time Robin has been working as a teacher’s assistant but due to Shane’s health she now needs to plan to care for him full time. She is also worried that her younger son has become withdrawn and avoids spending time with Shane in particular, when previously they had a close relationship. Six months ago the family’s house was damaged in a once in 100 year flood event that has impacted on the whole area. The recovery process is still underway and repairs are yet to be made to their house, which was not insured. Robin had thought that Shane’s confusion and anger were due to the stress of the flood and recovery, but now she is thinking it might have been due to his health problems.
- 4. Case study 5: Jenny, Lee & children Kyra & Ami Organisation type: Government child protection agency (remote service team) Jenny (aged 28) and Lee (aged 32) are Aboriginal and live in a remote community during the wet season and an outstation during the dry season. A notification from the local health clinic within the remote community has been received, advising Kyra and Ami will be air lifted to Hospital due to weight loss (each averaging 200 grams per week). Jenny is pregnant and is also considered to be severely malnourished so will also be flying in with the children for treatment. Within the notification, information suggests the application of the World Health Organisation classification for malnourishment indicates both children are within the ‘severe’ category and this is unusual for children of this age. The notifier has 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. Kyra and Ami have had two prior hospitalisations 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.
