Additional tips The purpose of the final assignment is for yo.docx
Additional tips:
The purpose of the final assignment is for you to analyze an existing policy (at the federal, state, or local level) and discuss its impact on a social problem. You aren’t proposing a policy, but analyzing an existing policy of interest to you.
Be sure to take enough time reading about the policy you selected to thoroughly understand it in an in-depth way and be able to confidently answer the questions in the assignment.
Please take time to carefully read each question in the assignment and be sure to answer it. As you proof-read your paper, take the opportunity to again review the assignment and double check that you have thoroughly but succinctly provided the information for each applicable question.
Please make sure you are using APA style in your final paper, including the title page with name and dates.
The assignment is 8 – 10 pages long because that’s roughly the length of a comprehensive social policy analysis. Please try to refrain from adding more words than necessary to stretch the length.
Proof-reading more than once is a great idea to try to catch sentences that aren’t sentences and words that are inadvertently misused. Read it out loud. I understand that the U of MD’s writing lab is available to help those interested in strengthening their writing skills – don’t hesitate to take advantage of it!
My expectation is that direct quotes be kept to a minimum in that graduate-level writing involves synthesizing ideas and then presenting them in your OWN words. For those quotes you do use, please be sure to use the correct citation and quotation marks. Not doing so may be considered plagiarism and will be responded to accordingly.
Assignment 2: Policy Analysis. DUE: 11/28
For this assignment, you will examine a social policy at the local, state or federal level by the legislative, executive, or judicial branch of government. The policy may be addressing a social issue that directly or indirectly affects the clients served by your field placement, agency of employment, your community, or who you plan to work with after graduation. Drawing from class materials and external sources, write an 8-10 page policy analysis (double-spaced, 12 point font, with 1” margins). Your paper should address the following:
Describe the social issue and identify the population-at-risk. Summarize existing research on this social issue.
What is the historical context of the policy? How did the social issue come to the attention of policymakers? Who were/are the key actors who made the issue “legitimate” and mobilized support for or against the policy? Were there previous policy attempts to address this issue?
Describe the social policy, answering the following questions:
What kinds of benefits are offered?
What are the bases of social allocation? (who is eligible)
How are the benefits to be delivered?
How are the benefits financed?
What is the purpose/goal of the social policy? What assumptions about problem ...

Discussion: Policies and Social Problems
Why is it important for social workers to understand policy? When you think of policies, you may tend to think of the federal policies that support services such as Medicare and state policies that support education and welfare services. However, sometimes the policies that have the greatest impact on clients are the policies of agencies and organizations.
Note
: An "agency or organizational policy" is a policy. For example, it might be part of a county welfare agency that requires an administrator at a juvenile correction facility to report any individual that is an illegal immigrant that comes to that facility.
In this Discussion, you will identify a policy at an agency or organization with which you are familiar. It can be a public agency, a for-profit human service provider, or a not-for-profit community agency. Describe the organization, the policy, and the social problem it addresses.
By Day 3
Post
the policy at an agency or organization with which you are familiar. Describe the organization, the policy, and the social problem it addresses.
Be sure to support your post with specific references to this week's resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to pro ...
This assignment will ask you to provide a comprehensive overview of .docx
This assignment will ask you to provide a comprehensive overview of the community that you have chosen. Only by knowing the people, their history, values, problems, and concerns will you be able to gain an understanding of the role you can play in their lives.
In preparation for the final project in this course where you will write a grant proposal with an accompanying presentation, you will need to develop a clear understanding of the community you seek to serve with your project. In this assignment, you will construct a specific service project that meets the needs of the particular community it engages. Use a variety of sources to establish a preliminary picture of the community in order to gauge the concerns of actual members within the community itself.
Do the following:
Compile research from both scholarly as well as local sources such as newspaper articles, interviews, town-meeting notes, etc., to develop a “big picture” of the community.
Conduct research, including interviews, questionnaires, and surveys, in the field to supplement this information if such information will help in further developing your understanding of the community.
Here are some topics to help guide your research:
History:
When was the community started?
Why was it started?
What has been the main economic base for the community? Has it changed since its founding? If so, how has this affected the community?
What about the history of minority groups in the area?
People:
Who are the important people (elected officials, church leaders, community leaders, etc.)?
Who works with these individuals to support their efforts (community organizations, churches, non-profit organizations, local governments, etc.)?
Groups:
What are the various groups within the community (geographic, social, racial, ethnic, etc.)?
Who represents the interests of each? Are there any particular organizations that serve particular groups?
How do these groups interact with one another? Are there groups that tend to work together or at cross-purposes? If so, identify how and why such relationships develop.
Are there any particular groups that undertake work of a similar nature as your proposed project?
Problems:
What problems do you see?
What problems do the others see?
What problems do the important people that you identified see?
What problems do government officials see?
What problems do the smaller groups within the community see?
Compile your research into a paper. Include the following details:
An introduction of your proposed action.
An assessment of the needs of the particular community you seek to serve based on the research conducted above.
An overview of the potential impact this plan might have on the community (both positive and negative).
An assessment of how your initial proposal can be modified to meet these particular concerns.
Write a 5–6-page paper in Word format. Please be sure to use reliable and valid research or report data from at least eight references (four of which must b.

Public Policy and Social ChangeOne of the goals of public po.docx
Public Policy and Social Change
One of the goals of public policy is to improve the lives of citizens. In today's society many special interest groups, government agencies, community stakeholders, and citizens battle over various public policy issues that might effect social change. Effecting social change, however, does not happen easily. Those who create public policies must remain dedicated to their social issue and be prepared to engage in social disagreements and political action, as well as be able to work within government regulations. Creating public policy also requires individuals to take on various roles and remain actively involved in a social issue. Some roles include administrators, public relations, writers of public policies, and political activists. Each of these roles is vital to the creation of new public policies or changing existing ones. Consider what role related to public policy you envision adopting and how you might effect positive social change.
For this Discussion, consider what role you would like to play related to the creation or changing of public policies and ways in which you might effect positive social change in the future.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the article, "Social Networks and American Politics: Introduction to the Special Issue." Pay particular attention to the dissemination of information and the impact of social networks on the American political system in creating social change.
Review the article, "Interactions Between Social Movements and US Political Parties." Consider the needs of special interest groups, the challenges to creating public policies, and ways in which public policies can effect positive social change.
Think about your future role in public policy and the ways in which you might effect positive social change.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Thursday 3/29/18
a 500-word
explanation of your future role in the creation of public policy on a local, national, or global level. Then explain two ways in which you may effect positive social change in that role. Finally, explain one way in which communities could influence public policy to effect positive social change. Be specific and use examples to illustrate your points.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Assignment Capstone Project Part II Needs AssessmentPeople.docx
Assignment: Capstone Project Part II: Needs Assessment
People often use advocacy to create positive change for society. Advocacy represents the strategies devised, actions taken, and solutions proposed to influence change for the betterment of society. The key to successful advocacy and creating a successful strategic plan is to conduct a needs assessment to determine the needs or priorities for a given agency, organization, or community.
A needs assessment is a systematic way of determining the gap between what an agency, organization, or community has and what is desired to meet the needs of individuals, groups, communities, or societies. The needs assessment will reveal whether there
may
be unmet services. It can then provide information about those needs and help inform your planning to meet them. The needs assessment also consists of planning
who
you need to target,
how
you will effectively gather new data, and/or how you will use existing data to inform your planning decisions.
To prepare:
Think about the needs of the agency, organization, or community that you identified as being the focus for your strategic plan.
Consider how you might collect data from stakeholders regarding met and unmet needs.
The Assignment (2 pages): My Organization is The United Nations Environmental Protection
Outline/describe steps you would take to conduct a needs assessment.
State which stakeholders you would contact and why you would contact each.
Develop a stakeholder survey related to your professional or societal issue.
The survey must be at least 10 questions.
Provide a justification for each question on the survey.
Provide a rationale for the type/format of questions on the survey.
State how you would vary items on the survey based on the role of the stakeholders who would complete it (administration, leadership, staff, recipient of surveys).

Many of the current political, legal, and social debates in U.S. society center around diversity and its related issues. These debates, such as debates about the legality or morality of same-sex marriage or immigration policy, involve not only arguments regarding discriminatory treatment of particular ethnic groups or sexual minorities but also legal, economic, and religious questions and concerns.
SHOW LESS
Applying the sociological perspective to these debates is useful, because it requires researching these diverse perspectives and placing them in historical and contemporary contexts to gain a deeper understanding of the causes and consequences of the debate and current and proposed policy solutions. This also puts us in a position in which we can more accurately evaluate and critique the merits of comments made and policies suggested by politicians, leaders, and others with a stake in these debates.
As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.

1. IntroductionWritten and Narrated by Professor Deni ElliottThe.docx
1. Introduction
Written and Narrated by Professor Deni Elliott
There are so many considerations in making ethical decisions, but what consideration is most important? Different cultures and ethical systems have produced theories that favor one consideration over others. The consideration that a theory favors is called a Fundamental Moral Unit, or FMU.
Many of the classical Western philosophers from the Greek and roman traditions favor the individual as the Fundamental Moral Unit. In these theories, the primary dictate is a negative statement: Don’t get in an individual’s way in his or her pursuit of the good life.
Feminist theories tend to determine the best choice based on how well those choices strengthen the connections among people and how well the needs of the most vulnerable are addressed. The fundamental moral unit here is relationship between people and is based on the belief that care should be given to those who can’t take care of themselves.
Some Eastern theories promote the overall good of the community first and foremost. And some indigenous theories stress human’s connection with the world as a whole, with all natural systems and species having an equal right to co-exist. People who grow up in these traditions expect that they and others will sacrifice individual self-interest for the good of the group and the environment. The Fundamental Moral Unit here is called "aggregate good."
Let’s consider a decision you might encounter if you were a member of your local city council. There is a 50 acre parcel of land in your city’s jurisdiction that was designated a hundred years ago to remain open space. Now the area contains some ancient Native burial grounds, but the tribe members a hundred years and tribe members today are happy with the designated use as long as the woodlands around the burial mounds stay intact. A developer would like to build a shopping mall there. As a city council member, you get to decide how that land will be used today: should it remain a park or become a shopping mall?
If you make your choice based only on the good that comes to individuals, you might be tempted to go with the shopping mall. The mall will provide jobs for many of the people in the community who are out of work and the additional income from the taxes from the new property owner and the businesses will allow the city to reduce taxes for individual home owners.
Which choice best advances the overall good of the community in which I live? The policy choice made previously to protect the land respected human connections to natural systems and was sensitive to the culture and history of a minority group. Affirming that decision helps all people in the community maintain trust in government.
We can see how the teachings from all of these traditions can help us in analyzing an important choice. And they can help us answer one more question: Can I find a choice that doesn’t cause harm to anyone or anything? If a shopping mall is a good idea for the .
1. IntroductionThe objective of this video is to introduce studen.docx
1. Introduction:
The objective of this video is to introduce students to the fundamental attribution error and its implications. One implication is that we often have a tendency to judge others unfairly because we do not take into account the situational factors that may have caused them to make unethical decisions. We jump to the conclusion that they are bad people because they did a bad thing. That said, it is important to remember that situational factors are usually explanations for while people err, they are not excuses. The best way to avoid this error, experts say, it to put ourselves in the shoes of others and try to envision the pressures they might have faced.
The other implication of the fundamental attribution error is that we may be too easy on ourselves, if we are not careful. We may too readily find situational factors, organizational pressures and the like and then simply excuse our own conduct.
The fundamental attribution error is the tendency to attribute "causes of behavior to actors (i.e., internal, dispositional factors) rather than the situation (i.e., external, environmental factors." We see that other people have done bad things, and we assume that it is because of their character rather than the fact that they were, perhaps, striving so hard to please their superiors that they did not even notice the ethical issue that they flubbed.
According to some psychologists, the other side of the coin from the fundamental attribution error is the actor-observer bias which is people’s tendency to over-emphasize the role of the situation in their own behaviors. They insist there’s nothing wrong with their character, because their errors are accounted for by some situational factor—the boss’s pressure, the need to feed their families, etc.
Francesca Gino writes: "In particular, one mistake we systematically make is known as the correspondence bias. When making attributions as we evaluate others, we tend to ascribe too little influence to the situation and too much to their dispositions. In simpler terms, we tend to believe that people’s behavior reflects their unique dispositions and skills, when many times it actually reflects aspects of the situation in which they find themselves." This sounds a lot like a different name for the fundamental attribution error.

Additional tips The purpose of the final assignment is for yo.docx
Additional tips:
The purpose of the final assignment is for you to analyze an existing policy (at the federal, state, or local level) and discuss its impact on a social problem. You aren’t proposing a policy, but analyzing an existing policy of interest to you.
Be sure to take enough time reading about the policy you selected to thoroughly understand it in an in-depth way and be able to confidently answer the questions in the assignment.
Please take time to carefully read each question in the assignment and be sure to answer it. As you proof-read your paper, take the opportunity to again review the assignment and double check that you have thoroughly but succinctly provided the information for each applicable question.
Please make sure you are using APA style in your final paper, including the title page with name and dates.
The assignment is 8 – 10 pages long because that’s roughly the length of a comprehensive social policy analysis. Please try to refrain from adding more words than necessary to stretch the length.
Proof-reading more than once is a great idea to try to catch sentences that aren’t sentences and words that are inadvertently misused. Read it out loud. I understand that the U of MD’s writing lab is available to help those interested in strengthening their writing skills – don’t hesitate to take advantage of it!
My expectation is that direct quotes be kept to a minimum in that graduate-level writing involves synthesizing ideas and then presenting them in your OWN words. For those quotes you do use, please be sure to use the correct citation and quotation marks. Not doing so may be considered plagiarism and will be responded to accordingly.
Assignment 2: Policy Analysis. DUE: 11/28
For this assignment, you will examine a social policy at the local, state or federal level by the legislative, executive, or judicial branch of government. The policy may be addressing a social issue that directly or indirectly affects the clients served by your field placement, agency of employment, your community, or who you plan to work with after graduation. Drawing from class materials and external sources, write an 8-10 page policy analysis (double-spaced, 12 point font, with 1” margins). Your paper should address the following:
Describe the social issue and identify the population-at-risk. Summarize existing research on this social issue.
What is the historical context of the policy? How did the social issue come to the attention of policymakers? Who were/are the key actors who made the issue “legitimate” and mobilized support for or against the policy? Were there previous policy attempts to address this issue?
Describe the social policy, answering the following questions:
What kinds of benefits are offered?
What are the bases of social allocation? (who is eligible)
How are the benefits to be delivered?
How are the benefits financed?
What is the purpose/goal of the social policy? What assumptions about problem ...

Discussion: Policies and Social Problems
Why is it important for social workers to understand policy? When you think of policies, you may tend to think of the federal policies that support services such as Medicare and state policies that support education and welfare services. However, sometimes the policies that have the greatest impact on clients are the policies of agencies and organizations.
Note
: An "agency or organizational policy" is a policy. For example, it might be part of a county welfare agency that requires an administrator at a juvenile correction facility to report any individual that is an illegal immigrant that comes to that facility.
In this Discussion, you will identify a policy at an agency or organization with which you are familiar. It can be a public agency, a for-profit human service provider, or a not-for-profit community agency. Describe the organization, the policy, and the social problem it addresses.
By Day 3

This assignment will ask you to provide a comprehensive overview of .docx
This assignment will ask you to provide a comprehensive overview of the community that you have chosen. Only by knowing the people, their history, values, problems, and concerns will you be able to gain an understanding of the role you can play in their lives.
In preparation for the final project in this course where you will write a grant proposal with an accompanying presentation, you will need to develop a clear understanding of the community you seek to serve with your project. In this assignment, you will construct a specific service project that meets the needs of the particular community it engages. Use a variety of sources to establish a preliminary picture of the community in order to gauge the concerns of actual members within the community itself.
Do the following:
Compile research from both scholarly as well as local sources such as newspaper articles, interviews, town-meeting notes, etc., to develop a “big picture” of the community.
Conduct research, including interviews, questionnaires, and surveys, in the field to supplement this information if such information will help in further developing your understanding of the community.
Here are some topics to help guide your research:
History:
When was the community started?
Why was it started?
What has been the main economic base for the community? Has it changed since its founding? If so, how has this affected the community?
What about the history of minority groups in the area?
People:
Who are the important people (elected officials, church leaders, community leaders, etc.)?
Who works with these individuals to support their efforts (community organizations, churches, non-profit organizations, local governments, etc.)?
Groups:
What are the various groups within the community (geographic, social, racial, ethnic, etc.)?
Who represents the interests of each? Are there any particular organizations that serve particular groups?
How do these groups interact with one another? Are there groups that tend to work together or at cross-purposes? If so, identify how and why such relationships develop.
Are there any particular groups that undertake work of a similar nature as your proposed project?
Problems:
What problems do you see?
What problems do the others see?
What problems do the important people that you identified see?
What problems do government officials see?
What problems do the smaller groups within the community see?
Compile your research into a paper. Include the following details:
An introduction of your proposed action.
An assessment of the needs of the particular community you seek to serve based on the research conducted above.
An overview of the potential impact this plan might have on the community (both positive and negative).
An assessment of how your initial proposal can be modified to meet these particular concerns.
Write a 5–6-page paper in Word format. Please be sure to use reliable and valid research or report data from at least eight references (four of which must b.

Public Policy and Social ChangeOne of the goals of public po.docx
Public Policy and Social Change
One of the goals of public policy is to improve the lives of citizens. In today's society many special interest groups, government agencies, community stakeholders, and citizens battle over various public policy issues that might effect social change. Effecting social change, however, does not happen easily. Those who create public policies must remain dedicated to their social issue and be prepared to engage in social disagreements and political action, as well as be able to work within government regulations. Creating public policy also requires individuals to take on various roles and remain actively involved in a social issue. Some roles include administrators, public relations, writers of public policies, and political activists. Each of these roles is vital to the creation of new public policies or changing existing ones. Consider what role related to public policy you envision adopting and how you might effect positive social change.
For this Discussion, consider what role you would like to play related to the creation or changing of public policies and ways in which you might effect positive social change in the future.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the article, "Social Networks and American Politics: Introduction to the Special Issue." Pay particular attention to the dissemination of information and the impact of social networks on the American political system in creating social change.
Review the article, "Interactions Between Social Movements and US Political Parties." Consider the needs of special interest groups, the challenges to creating public policies, and ways in which public policies can effect positive social change.
Think about your future role in public policy and the ways in which you might effect positive social change.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Thursday 3/29/18
a 500-word
explanation of your future role in the creation of public policy on a local, national, or global level. Then explain two ways in which you may effect positive social change in that role. Finally, explain one way in which communities could influence public policy to effect positive social change. Be specific and use examples to illustrate your points.

Assignment Capstone Project Part II Needs AssessmentPeople.docx
Assignment: Capstone Project Part II: Needs Assessment
People often use advocacy to create positive change for society. Advocacy represents the strategies devised, actions taken, and solutions proposed to influence change for the betterment of society. The key to successful advocacy and creating a successful strategic plan is to conduct a needs assessment to determine the needs or priorities for a given agency, organization, or community.
A needs assessment is a systematic way of determining the gap between what an agency, organization, or community has and what is desired to meet the needs of individuals, groups, communities, or societies. The needs assessment will reveal whether there
may
be unmet services. It can then provide information about those needs and help inform your planning to meet them. The needs assessment also consists of planning
who
you need to target,
how
you will effectively gather new data, and/or how you will use existing data to inform your planning decisions.
To prepare:
Think about the needs of the agency, organization, or community that you identified as being the focus for your strategic plan.
Consider how you might collect data from stakeholders regarding met and unmet needs.
The Assignment (2 pages): My Organization is The United Nations Environmental Protection
Outline/describe steps you would take to conduct a needs assessment.
State which stakeholders you would contact and why you would contact each.
Develop a stakeholder survey related to your professional or societal issue.
The survey must be at least 10 questions.
Provide a justification for each question on the survey.
Provide a rationale for the type/format of questions on the survey.
State how you would vary items on the survey based on the role of the stakeholders who would complete it (administration, leadership, staff, recipient of surveys).

Many of the current political, legal, and social debates in U.S. society center around diversity and its related issues. These debates, such as debates about the legality or morality of same-sex marriage or immigration policy, involve not only arguments regarding discriminatory treatment of particular ethnic groups or sexual minorities but also legal, economic, and religious questions and concerns.
SHOW LESS
Applying the sociological perspective to these debates is useful, because it requires researching these diverse perspectives and placing them in historical and contemporary contexts to gain a deeper understanding of the causes and consequences of the debate and current and proposed policy solutions. This also puts us in a position in which we can more accurately evaluate and critique the merits of comments made and policies suggested by politicians, leaders, and others with a stake in these debates.
As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.

1. IntroductionWritten and Narrated by Professor Deni ElliottThe.docx
1. Introduction
Written and Narrated by Professor Deni Elliott
There are so many considerations in making ethical decisions, but what consideration is most important? Different cultures and ethical systems have produced theories that favor one consideration over others. The consideration that a theory favors is called a Fundamental Moral Unit, or FMU.
Many of the classical Western philosophers from the Greek and roman traditions favor the individual as the Fundamental Moral Unit. In these theories, the primary dictate is a negative statement: Don’t get in an individual’s way in his or her pursuit of the good life.
Feminist theories tend to determine the best choice based on how well those choices strengthen the connections among people and how well the needs of the most vulnerable are addressed. The fundamental moral unit here is relationship between people and is based on the belief that care should be given to those who can’t take care of themselves.
Some Eastern theories promote the overall good of the community first and foremost. And some indigenous theories stress human’s connection with the world as a whole, with all natural systems and species having an equal right to co-exist. People who grow up in these traditions expect that they and others will sacrifice individual self-interest for the good of the group and the environment. The Fundamental Moral Unit here is called "aggregate good."
Let’s consider a decision you might encounter if you were a member of your local city council. There is a 50 acre parcel of land in your city’s jurisdiction that was designated a hundred years ago to remain open space. Now the area contains some ancient Native burial grounds, but the tribe members a hundred years and tribe members today are happy with the designated use as long as the woodlands around the burial mounds stay intact. A developer would like to build a shopping mall there. As a city council member, you get to decide how that land will be used today: should it remain a park or become a shopping mall?
If you make your choice based only on the good that comes to individuals, you might be tempted to go with the shopping mall. The mall will provide jobs for many of the people in the community who are out of work and the additional income from the taxes from the new property owner and the businesses will allow the city to reduce taxes for individual home owners.
Which choice best advances the overall good of the community in which I live? The policy choice made previously to protect the land respected human connections to natural systems and was sensitive to the culture and history of a minority group.

1. IntroductionThe objective of this video is to introduce studen.docx
1. Introduction:
The objective of this video is to introduce students to the fundamental attribution error and its implications. One implication is that we often have a tendency to judge others unfairly because we do not take into account the situational factors that may have caused them to make unethical decisions. We jump to the conclusion that they are bad people because they did a bad thing. That said, it is important to remember that situational factors are usually explanations for while people err, they are not excuses. The best way to avoid this error, experts say, it to put ourselves in the shoes of others and try to envision the pressures they might have faced.
The other implication of the fundamental attribution error is that we may be too easy on ourselves, if we are not careful. We may too readily find situational factors, organizational pressures and the like and then simply excuse our own conduct.
The fundamental attribution error is the tendency to attribute "causes of behavior to actors (i.e., internal, dispositional factors) rather than the situation (i.e., external, environmental factors." We see that other people have done bad things, and we assume that it is because of their character rather than the fact that they were, perhaps, striving so hard to please their superiors that they did not even notice the ethical issue that they flubbed.
According to some psychologists, the other side of the coin from the fundamental attribution error is the actor-observer bias which is people’s tendency to over-emphasize the role of the situation in their own behaviors. They insist there’s nothing wrong with their character, because their errors are accounted for by some situational factor—the boss’s pressure, the need to feed their families, etc.
Francesca Gino writes: "In particular, one mistake we systematically make is known as the correspondence bias. When making attributions as we evaluate others, we tend to ascribe too little influence to the situation and too much to their dispositions. In simpler terms, we tend to believe that people’s behavior reflects their unique dispositions and skills, when many times it actually reflects aspects of the situation in which they find themselves." This sounds a lot like a different name for the fundamental attribution error.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

Unit5Assign1SCPPRead the followingWeinstein, J. (2010).
- 1. Unit5Assign1SCPP Read the following: Weinstein, J. (2010). Social change . Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield. Pages 27–28 in Chapter 1, "The Social Scientific Perspective." Social Policy Toolbox (see attachments) Also see attachments for an example of the instructors expectations. Community Policy Proposals You will be using the results of your Unit 3 Community Assessment assignment as the basis for this assignment. You have examined the social change and public policy environment of your home community by surveying the population demographics (taking into account gender, race, and sexual orientation, as well as varied nationalities and their social and economic status) and explored public sources of information in order to identify demands for social changes in businesses, non- profits, and government. These demands reflect the possible need for public policy development.
- 2. Draft and present to your group two possible policy proposals that respond to the specific public demands you identified in your community in the previous assignment. (Due Sunday November 2) These demands may apply to businesses, non-profit organizations, or government. Utilize the document entitled, "Elements of a Standard Policy Statement," which is located in your Social Policy Toolbox, to guide your development of these proposals. Include a title for each proposal. Meet with your group during this week. Each member of your group will offer each of their public policy proposals for review. Acting in a collaborative capacity, offer suggestions concerning the public policy proposals of each of your peers and recommend to each presenter a primary policy that should be developed and used to complete the remaining project assignments. Write a 750-word written summary of your meeting(s) with your group, emphasizing these elements: (DUE NOVEMBER 8....I will try to provide feedback from the group for the summary once available)
- 3. State the proposed policy on which you have decided, with the following: A descriptive title. A statement of the public entity for which the policy is intended. The beneficiaries of the policy. The human service outcome for social change. State which actors in the home community may play a constructive and active role to advance the policy process, and identify the actors or factors that may pose as obstacles to your proposed policy. State the key discussion points raised by your peers in support of or in opposition to your proposed policy. State your rationale for choosing the policy proposal. Assignment Requirements Summary Length: 750 words. Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.
- 4. Formatting: Present your paper in APA format. Written communication: Written communication must reflect graduate-level writing skills and successfully convey the message. Summary Example Group Y Discussion Upon review on the proposed policy, Melissa Greer expressed a great deal of concern for the need of this policy. Not understanding how people are not more aware of what they are throwing in recycle bins she suggested a number of possible solutions. Her first suggestion was to implement a few ways to help encourage the community to recycle items properly. One way would be to add labeled recycling bins to public areas which would be requested by the County. The labels would indicate on each bin where to place separate recyclable material such as paper, bottles, cans etc. Another suggestion of encouragement was to have recyclable class offered to children in the schools. This could be accomplished by reaching out to teachers and administrators for approval. It is important for children to learn to recycle at an early age. Learning this young will provide them with the knowledge to carrier into their adulthood practices. The final suggestion given by Melissa regarding the recycling policy an encouraging the community members would be to form a recycle club within the community. She suggested that the recycling club could meet on weekly basis and serve as a great resource for the community. They could have cleaning projects, clothing drives, and even hand out recycling information to the residents.
- 5. PEER FEEDBACK TO MY POST (this is the only peer feedback I have gotten) Candace Foster I believe you have posted correctly. I thought your Gender Equality Initiative was well written and a very fitting policy for today's society. Reference the assignment scoring guide to help you complete this assignment. Unit5Disc1SCPP Identifying Social Change Issues Consider your own community and describe a social change that demands the development of new policy. (This example should be different from the social change issue you have chosen for this unit's assignment.)

Identify the specific agency, government, business, non-profit, or combination of these that should implement your proposed
- 6. policy. Describe what you think is the most likely outcome of your social change policy proposal. Who will benefit and who will not benefit?
