Volunteers and political officials in local communities often campaign to improve conditions and provide services to increase the well-being of individuals and families living in those communities. If you are the parent of young children, you might focus on improving the local school or creating safe places where children can play. If you are an individual in later adulthood or a caregiver for an individual in later adulthood, what community resources might be important to you? For this week's Assignment, you evaluate the resources that your local community provides for its older members. To prepare for this Assignment, research the resources available in your local community to support the issues and concerns of the older population. Note any gaps in these services and consider what improvements might be made to existing services as well as what services should be added. By Day 7 Submit a 2- to 4-page paper that includes the following: A description of the services in your local community that support individuals in later adulthood An evaluation of the effectiveness of the services you identified A description of service gaps you identified An explanation of how to improve existing services A description of services that should be added, and why Required Readings Zastrow, C.

Community Profile Introduction to Social Work – SOCW 2361 Alternative Final Service Learning Assignment Spring 2017 Due Date: 11:59 PM Thursday, April 27, 2017 via Blackboard upload into the Final Service Learning Assignment Point value: 100 points This City Profile requires you to (1) gather data from reliable sources, (2) analyze the significance of what the data means (3) write a paper. The objectives of this assignment are to: · Identify factual data about your community at the city level; · Analyze that data as to its implications and impact; · Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses in your community and · Determine the extent to which the community empowers residents and responds to their requests and concerns. TASKS: #1: OBSERVATIONS Prior to beginning the data gathering, walk around several blocks in your community. Using your powers of observation what do you see? Are there identifiable issues such as potholes in the street, non-functioning street lights, broken or no sidewalks, fences in disrepair, litter, etc.? What is the appearance of the schools? What is the visible condition of housing both residential and multi-family, businesses and their parking lots? Write/type a list. Next, spend some time thinking about what you perceive as issues, problems or concerns in your neighborhood and the community as a whole. Prepare a list of those issues to include in your paper. Thinking about the list of “problems” you have created, whose responsibility is it to address or correct the issues? (Some level of government or governmental body, religious institutions, neighbors, non-profit agencies, etc.) Include these thoughts in your paper – it may be many more than one has some level of responsibility in your view. #2: DATA GATHERING The focus of this paper is the city where you currently reside. You will gather data for your city. The list of questions that follows will guide your data collection. You will be researching specific aspects of your community. Resources to assist data gathering: Access SE Library Lib Guide via this link- http://libguides.tccd.edu/communityassessment http://www.city-data.com/ http://www.greatschools.org/ http://www.texastribune.org/ http://www.texasprojectfirst.org/ The list is not an exhaustive list; you will need to search for additional sources using the Internet. Economic/Financial Well-Being In your city, find data that answers each of these questions: 1. What is unemployment rate of your area? Are there jobs available? 1. What kinds of benefits, if any, do employers offer? If so, which employers and what benefits? 1. Do the jobs pay a living wage? 1. Via observation, describe the condition of housing throughout the city. 1. Is there adequate, affordable housing to accommodate the population? 1. What resources are available in your community to .

1. The purpose statement. Take your cues from our textbook about how a purpose statement is to be written. Phrase it like the examples given. Keep it concise. If your statement is several sentences long, chances are you are not yet sure what the purpose is. A clear purpose can be expressed in one sentence, with a second sentence for the problem. After you post your own statement (I will return your topic ideas forthwith), you provide feedback for your classmates on their statements. In writing your topic statement, be blunt and direct: "The purpose of my research is to investigate/find out/test (or another verb) ...." Bam. One and done. If you go beyond two sentences, you have too much. 2. The second part is your revised and extended topic discussion. As mentioned, follow the steps shown on pp. 38-39. Answer the prompts in order, no more than one short paragraph (4-6 lines) per prompt. (An entire paragraph is not required; if you can say what you want to say in one sentence, that is great. The more concise, the better. If your answer is more than six lines long, you have too much.) 1. Note the difference between "basic research" and "applied research" on p. 30. 2. Look at the situations of what research is not. Yes indeed, many beginning researchers fall into these traps. 3. The purpose statement is indeed very straightforward: "The purpose of this research is to ..." Clarity, precision, and completeness are key. Read all those sections. 4. Problem statements tend to cause, well, problems for new researchers. A problem must be clearly stated. A problem is the negative consequence of an action (or inaction) as in, "If we do not perform Action A, we will have to deal with negative consequence B." A problem must be tangible, that is, it must have real repercussions for people. In addition, please memorize the following sentence. Print it, frame it, and put it on your office wall: "Not knowing something is never in itself a problem." It may contribute to the problem or lead to consequences, but it is not the problem itself. 5. Read p. 40 on sub-problems. 6. Read p. 44 on theoretical vs. conceptual frameworks. Be aware that there is a difference. Don't try to understand everything. Even experienced scholars have trouble keeping the two apart. If you attend professional conferences, you will often see presentations on conceptual vs. theoretical frameworks. At this point, it is sufficient for you to know that there is a difference. 7. Read pp. 45-48 about hypotheses. As in #6, be aware of what independent and dependent variables are, but there is no need to understand everything. The example on blood pressure on p. 47 illustrates the difference well. Know what mediating and moderating variables are; no need to understand everything fully as this point. 8. Read pp. 50-51. This section is quite clear. 9. Look over the lists on pp. 52-54 and pp. 55-56. Again, no need to memorize. Instead, mark them as a crucial referen ...

Assignment: Eurocentrism and Life Span Development Theories Doctoral students often ask, “How do I decide what theory to use in my dissertation or DSW capstone study?” Sometimes, researchers select their theory based on the study population. For example, if a researcher is studying middle-age adults, it may make sense to use a life span development theory. Or perhaps the researcher is studying characteristics inherent to a particular stage of life; then it may also make sense to use a life span development theory.Before you choose a theory to apply to your study population, consider whether the theoretical concepts or constructs reflect a Western perspective and are insensitive to the needs of the target population. Some scholars, for example, have questioned whether theories developed by theorists who hold White European or Anglo-American cultural perspectives respect the values from other cultures that may be more collectivist.As you read the articles for this Assignment, pay particular attention to how Griffin, Mroczek, and Wesbecher critique the life span theories. To prepare: Review the following articles from the Learning Resources: “Living happily despite having an illness: Perceptions of healthy aging among Korean American, Vietnamese American, and Latino older adults" by Nguyen, Lee, Sorkin, and Gibbs. "Personality Development Across the Lifespan: Theory, Research, and Application" by Griffin, Mroczek, and Wesbecher. Using your potential doctoral capstone topic as a guide, identify a specific topic with which you can incorporate Levinson’s theory on midlife development or Neugarten’s theory on aging and one of the three diverse populations (Asian immigrants, Latino immigrants, or Native Americans). For example, if your topic is domestic violence, a specific topic that incorporates the above elements might be domestic violence among Latino immigrant elders. By Day 7 Submit a 2- to 3-page analysis that addresses the following: Identify your topic and its connection to a diverse population group. In 2–3 sentences, briefly summarize the assumptions of the life span development theory you selected. Describe the cultural values and belief systems of the group you chose, using literature to ground your claims. Analyze the extent to which the assumptions of Levinson’s theory or Neugarten’s theory are culturally relevant to the group you selected. Relative to the topic and population, describe one social work practice recommendation from each of the micro, meso, and macro levels when working with the population in relation to your topic or problem. Remember that the social work practice recommendations need to be informed by the life span theory you selected. Evaluate how the life span theory you selected is consistent with social work ethics. Be sure to: Use literature to support your claims. Use APA formatting and style, including double-spacing. utilize references Robbins, S. P., Chatterjee, P., Ca.

Assignment Details Assignment Description You and your colleagues, who teach business communication at Oscoda County Community College, are interested in setting up a business writer’s hotline—a telephone and e-mail service that will provide answers to grammar, mechanics, and format questions for people who call in or write. You see it as a way of providing a much-needed service to local businesspeople as well as a way of providing positive public relations for your institution. Each faculty member is willing to donate time to answer the phones and e-mails, but you will need funds for telephone lines, answering machines, reference books, advertising, and more. You decide to apply for a grant from the H. M. Luce Foundation to fund the project for 1 year. After that, if the hotline is successful, you will either reapply for funds or ask Oscoda County Community College administration to fund the continuing costs. For requests less than $3,000, the foundation requests a simple narrative report explaining and justifying the request. Part 1 (1–2 pages): In your paper, answer the following information-gathering questions: What is the background of the problem? What will be the outcome of the project? Describe the audience for this report and the implications for structuring your report. Describe how the hotline will work. What are the advantages of this project? What will the project cost? What are the qualifications of those involved? Part 2 (2–4 pages): Now, you will need to take the information that has been collected from the information gathering and write a proposal to H. M. Luce Foundation for the costs of the proposed hotline. Please submit your assignment. The following grading criteria will apply to this assignment: 225–250 Student fully understood assignment, answered all portions, and met minimum length requirements.

Assignment: Completing a Psychosocial Assessment Cooper and Lesser (2015) state, “From a human rights perspective, assessments of individuals and families should include an awareness of their basic human rights … Assessments should be expanded past the presenting problem into the realm of shelter, information, food, employment, legal, community, medical, cultural, and political realities in their lives” (p. 45). You may be skilled at conducting assessments that lead to a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) diagnosis. Are you also acquainted with the practice of incorporating psychosocial issues into a client’s assessment? A psychosocial assessment differs from a DSMdiagnosis in a number of ways, but especially with regard to the collection of considerably more personal history and detailed information about psychosocial issues. Treatment planning, especially for social workers, requires a lot of attention to psychosocial issues. For this week’s Application Assignment, you apply your skills in assessment, as well as this week’s Learning Resources on psychosocial issues, to complete a psychosocial assessment of Dan, the subject of the case example, “The Case of Dan: An Example of the Stages of Change the Beginning,” located in the Cooper and Lesser (2015) course text as noted in this week’s Learning Resources. The Assignment (3–4 pages): Using the case, “The Case of Dan: An Example of the Stages of Change the Beginning,” and “A Psychosocial Model Outline” located in the Cooper and Lesser (2015) course text as noted in the Learning Resources, construct a psychosocial assessment of Dan. Please note: It is not necessary to include any psychosocial assessment components described in the model that are unfamiliar to you. Be sure to support your Assignment with specific references to the Learning Resources, citing all references in APA format. .

Assignment: Chap7_HW_CNOW 1. Blueprint Problem: Perpetual Average Cost Inventory Valuation Basics Income measurement and asset valuation are two concepts at the core of accounting. Recall that the matching principle requires that costs incurred to generate revenue should be recognized in the same period that the revenue is earned. For most merchandising companies, the cost and control of inventory is the focal point of the operation. Inventory valuation applies to many companies. Thinking about this lesson, choose which companies below might benefit from inventory valuation. Company Type 1. a law firm _________________ 2. an electronics company _________________ 3. a car dealership _________________ 4. a textbook company _________________ Inventory Systems and Costing Methods Inventory systems and inventory costing methods must be understood for proper inventory valuation and measurement. The two basic systems of accounting for merchandise inventory are the perpetual inventory system and the periodic inventory system. Under the perpetual inventory system, continuous records are kept of the quantity and, usually, the cost of individual items as they are bought and sold. Under the periodic inventory system, the inventory not yet sold, or on hand, is counted periodically. This physical count is usually taken at the end of the accounting period. What type of inventory tracking system is in use when changes in inventory are immediately displayed on the balance sheet? _________________ "Goods Flow" versus "Cost Flow" The term "goods flow" refers to the PHYSICAL MOVEMENT of inventory through the operations of the business. In most business, we try to sell our oldest merchandise first. The term "cost flow" refers to the COST associated with the assumed flow of merchandise (i.e. how much of the cost is allocated to to the items sold and how much is allocated to the unsold ending inventory). An accounting issue arises when identical units of merchandise are acquired at different unit costs during a period. In such cases, when an item is sold, it is necessary to determine its cost using a cost flow assumption and related inventory costing method. Does the "cost flow" method need to be the same as as the physical "goods flow"? _________________ Different valuation methods produce significantly different values for cost of merchandise sold and subsequent inventory levels. This means that the choice of inventory valuation method can have a significant effect on a company's financial position. Although the implications are far reaching, the two items most directly and immediately affected by the choice of inventory valuation method are cost of merchandise sold on the _________________ and inventory on the _________________ . The following formula illustrates the relationship between the cost of merchandise sold and the ending inventory. The part of the cost of merchandise available for sale is allocated to the co.
