In this assignment, you will apply your knowledge of cultural influences on development to create psychosocial workshops for a specific population. Tasks: Scenario : As a human services administrator at a local agency, one of your duties is to write descriptions of the agency's community workshops to publish in the community's resource guide delivered free of charge to all residents. These are the titles of the workshops: Single Moms : A workshop for working mothers to help them balance work and home Community Living : A workshop for those transitioning from incarceration to society Caregiver Parents : A workshop for those taking care of aging parents, while also raising a young family Parenting Teens : A workshop to enable parents to help their teenage children transition to young adulthood Your community largely comprises blue-collar workers, many of whom are working on either visas or green cards; thus, there are pockets of immigrant communities. Some of the workers are those who were reintegrated into society after prolonged incarceration (more than three years). The median age of the area is thirty-five years, and multigenerational households are commonplace. The public school system is underresourced, and truancy is a big problem. Many students do not complete high school, and standardized test scores are well below what is federally mandated for funding. Directions : For each of the four workshops, write a 100- to 200-word description on the basis of the following: Utilize what you have learned throughout the course to describe specific services that each workshop will include. Tailor each description to the community and the target audience for the workshop. Apply cultural and multicultural sensitivity within and across all descriptions. Remember, a single mother may also read the description for community living. Craft your descriptions to be readable and sensitive to all. Account for individual differences and environmental contexts that will influence developmental changes. Account for the role of culture in shaping attitudes, values, and behaviors. For each description, write a two-page rationale. Use at least three references from scholarly sources to demonstrate how you determined which services to offer for each workshop. Submission Details: By Wednesday, February 3, 2016 , prepare a 6- to 8-page analysis paper. Your response should rely upon at least three sources from professional literature. This may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov). Write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., APA format); and use accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation .

In the Wealth of Nations (1776) Smith describes the economy as a self-contained system functioning through an internal mechanism formed by division of labour and exchange. In this system the good of society (increasing wealth) is brought about through the actions of individual economic agents pursuing their own individual interests, interacting on the basis of the natural propensity to exchange. Thus the self-regulating character of the system depends on human nature; and on the actions of individuals who are isolated from one another in their pursuit of their own interests, but also dependent on one another for the realization of those interests. In the Lectures on Jurisprudence (1762-4) Smith explains the propensity to exchange (or "disposition to barter", etc.) as the result of the natural desire to persuade. He also makes it clear that the desire to persuade is not directed by economic self-interest, and does not have any necessary connection to exchange or economic activity. This argument is clearly connected to a line of thought in his earlier book, The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759), in which he connects the desire to be believed, or to persuade, with the necessity of relations with other individuals as a condition for individuality (that is, for the characteristics necessary in order to be an individual). He also argues for the necessity of relations as a condition for individuality in saying that another basic human desire is that of being beloved. These, earlier, ideas suggest an idea of individuals and society in which relations among individuals are much more fundamental than those described in the Wealth of Nations, and in which the economy cannot be a self-contained, natural system in which the social good can only be realized because individuals are isolated from one another yet also inter-dependent. What would an economy based on these more fundamental relations among individuals look like? How would it differ from the economy described in the Wealth of Nations? .

In the story The Lady or the Tiger , which comes through the door, the lady, or the tiger? Use specific examples from the story and your own personal knowledge/experiences to defend your answer. The Lady Or The Tiger? In the very olden time there lived a semi-barbaric king, whose ideas, though somewhat polished and sharpened by the progressiveness of distant Latin neighbors, were still large, florid, and untrammeled, as became the half of him which was barbaric. He was a man of exuberant fancy, and, withal, of an authority so irresistible that, at his will, he turned his varied fancies into facts. He was greatly given to self-communing, and, when he and himself agreed upon anything, the thing was done. When every member of his domestic and political systems moved smoothly in its appointed course, his nature was bland and genial; but, whenever there was a little hitch, and some of his orbs got out of their orbits, he was blander and more genial still, for nothing pleased him so much as to make the crooked straight and crush down uneven places. Among the borrowed notions by which his barbarism had become semified was that of the public arena, in which, by exhibitions of manly and beastly valor, the minds of his subjects were refined and cultured. But even here the exuberant and barbaric fancy asserted itself. The arena of the king was built, not to give the people an opportunity of hearing the rhapsodies of dying gladiators, nor to enable them to view the inevitable conclusion of a conflict between religious opinions and hungry jaws, but for purposes far better adapted to widen and develop the mental energies of the people. This vast amphitheater, with its encircling galleries, its mysterious vaults, and its unseen passages, was an agent of poetic justice, in which crime was punished, or virtue rewarded, by the decrees of an impartial and incorruptible chance. When a subject was accused of a crime of sufficient importance to interest the king, public notice was given that on an appointed day the fate of the accused person would be decided in the king's arena, a structure which well deserved its name, for, although its form and plan were borrowed from afar, its purpose emanated solely from the brain of this man, who, every barleycorn a king, knew no tradition to which he owed more allegiance than pleased his fancy, and who ingrafted on every adopted form of human thought and action the rich growth of his barbaric idealism. When all the people had assembled in the galleries, and the king, surrounded by his court, sat high up on his throne of royal state on one side of the arena, he gave a signal, a door beneath him opened, and the accused subject stepped out into the amphitheater. Directly opposite him, on the other side of the enclosed space, were two doors, exactly alike and side by side. It was the duty and the privilege of the person on trial to walk directly to these doors and open one of them. He could open either door he pleased; he wa.

In “The Road Not Taken,” Robert Frost writes figuratively about the various choices we are compelled to make in life as well as how agonizing and/or regrettable these decisions may become as we progress through this journey. In The Bucket List , Carter and Edward must make crucial decisions regarding how to live out the rest of their lives after their diagnosis. Explore how these men chose to live life to the fullest during the limited time they had left on this earth, and how they both experienced a transformation of character in regard to the families they’d left behind. What road(s) do they take throughout the movie, and how do their ‘travels’ reflect the notion that Frost is trying to portray in his poem? Are they satisfied with the choices they’ve made, do they ‘sigh’ in regret of having taken the ‘road less travelled by,’ or have these options made ‘all the difference’ in a positive fashion. Again, use examples from the movie and the poem to prove your point. NO PLAGIARISM DUE BY TOMORROW 10PM .

In the scenarios and resulting simulations, Robert Donovan, a Jurisville probation officer, discusses the intricacies of probation. Kris, the defendant, is offered an intensive supervised probation plan to follow. Brennan Brooke, a senior criminologist, discusses the tailoring of the inmate to the appropriate facility. Finally, Orlando Boyce, a sergeant at the fictional Deephall correctional facility, discusses measures that could conceivably make prison life effective and thus decrease the likelihood of recidivism. Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you: Outline your findings from your review of the file of Kris, for whom Robert is considering probation. State whether or not your results from the file review match Robert’s. Explain two (2) instances in which your views and those of Robert are both similar and different. Develop a profile of the so-called perfect candidate to participate in an intensive supervised probation program. The profile should contain at least three (3) attributes that you believe make this defendant the perfect candidate for this type of probation. Defend or critique the strategy of matching the inmate to the correctional facility as a response to the legal concept of cruel and unusual punishment. Provide a rationale for your position with concrete examples. Defend or critique whether programs and amenities geared to making prison life effective—which run the gamut from hiring extra officers, to counseling and therapy, to building a garden—are time and taxpayer money well spent. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format.

In the past weeks, students have learned about leaders and leadership. Leaders are social architects who design an organizational environment that encourages a desired range of social behaviors in an effort to meet the organizational goals set forth. Social architects create vision and strategic direction, shape culture and values and lead change. This assessment is designed in a way that students can demonstrate knowledge of the material covered in weeks 1 – 4 and apply leadership concepts and ideas to a real-world situation. Students will delve into the details of the case study and the course readings but must also look at the situation from a strategic point of view since Dunn wants a sustainable business. Required Elements to include in Paper #1: In this assessment, you will act as Joseph Dunn, the leader of Dunn’s Ski Emporium. You want to purchase The Deli, so there is a lot of work to do before entering into the possible addition of a business you know nothing about. As Dunn, you will develop a leadership plan (not a business plan) writing from a leader’s perspective. So, you ask, what it means to write from a leader’s perspective? Writing from the leader’s perspective means you will approach Dunn’s vision through the people centric viewpoint of the leader. You are focused on how the two businesses will meet the vision through the decision making flow and grouping of people within the organizations. How do you best use the people to meet your vision? Even though it is tempting to write in the first person, a plan is written in the third person in which a story will unfold. Dunn is essentially telling a story of how he is going to purchase the Deli and bring George and the business in as part of the Dunn Ski Emporium. Dunn will need to figure out how he is going to combine these two businesses and use his leadership skills to do so. Remember, you are writing from the leader’s perspective and are not solving problems but literally creating and developing an environment in which problems will be resolved by those who make the business run. Dunn plans on designing an organizational structure that fulfills his vision, one that he believes George has for The Deli, and one that will fulfill its mission. The organization must be open to change and possess a culture that empowers its employees to follow the vision created. Like all good social architects, the building must start with a design that suites the purpose of the business and seeks to make it the best building for the job. The entire paper is the plan. Students are expected to be creative but realistic in developing pieces of the plan. For example, feel free to assign names and roles to the people in the business. In being creative students may not change the facts in the plan. Dunn will provide the plan to George Atkins once Dunn sits down with him to begin negotiations, so the plan must be polished. Also to make sure questions can easily be addressed, Dunn is go.

In the midsized town of Centervale, there is no more crime than one might expect in a town of a similar size. However, one family found itself in a tough financial situation, which led them to a life of crime. This was a middle-class family that got caught up in the immediate gratification of crime and cash. One event led to another. Once the parents changed their lifestyle and range of morals, the children began to consider it the normal way of life. In their teens, the children decided to help their family and entered the life of crime they had become accustomed to. Officer Matt Johnson met this multiethnic family, known for its criminal activities. He worked undercover for two years to build a relationship with the family. He learned that Rob, the father, began selling drugs because he had lost his job and was the sole wage earner for the family. Once Rob realized how lucrative this line of work was, he included his wife, Mary, in the crime business. They are in "tight" with the community and organized crime, and Mary solicits clients on the Internet for drug distribution. Rob and Mary have two children, Lucy (aged fifteen) and Junior (aged seventeen), who were slowly incorporated as drug runners for the family. Officer Johnson continued to stay close to the family, and through his interactions with the children and Mary, learned why the family dynamics changed from a stable loving environment to a family full of negative behavior and criminal activity. Their present life can be described as follows: The stress of the "job" begins to affect the marital relationship between Rob and Mary as they try to make a living through criminal activities. Rob becomes volatile and begins to abuse Mary and Lucy. Junior watches the domestic violence and sees this as a means of gaining power over the opposite gender so that they do as told. He admires the control his father has over the family and the business. I n a minimum of 250 words, post your responses to the following to the Discussion Area : Research the inchoate crimes and provide the elements necessary for the conviction of each of the three—Mary, Lucy, and Junior. Keeping the clauses of juvenile law in mind, identify the potential penalties that can be imposed on each of the convicted persons based on the statutes of your state. Being an undercover officer, Johnson cannot be convicted under inchoate crime. According to the decriminalization laws in the state where you live, explain whether you feel the statement is justified. Give reasons for your answer. Cite the statute from the state where you live so that other classmates are aware of the jurisdiction you are referring to. .

In the mid-seventeenth century, Dutch scientist Jan Baptista van Helmont struggled to understand where plants get the material that allows them to grow larger. He planted a willow tree of a given weight in a ﬁxed quantity of soil and then, ﬁve years later, weighed both the willow and the soil. He found that the tree had gained 164 pounds during the period but that the soil had lost very little weight. His conclusion was that the willow’s weight gain came solely from the water it absorbed through its roots. If you could be transported back to van Helmont’s time, what would you tell him about the source of the willow’s weight gain? Your response should be at least 200 words in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. .

In the early 20th century, the specter of infectious disease lurked in every city of the world. In India, an estimated eight million people had died of cholera by 1920. The influenza pandemic of 1918–1919 was responsible for the loss of 50 million lives worldwide. In 1917, the average life expectancy in the United States was 51 years; by 1918 it was 39 years. By contrast, in the year 2020, the average U.S. life expectancy is projected to be 79.5 years. In addition to achievements in treating diseases and disseminating health information seen over the last 100 years, your grandparents and great grandparents may not have lived long enough to get the chronic diseases commonly seen in the early 21st century in industrialized nations. For this Discussion, review the Learning Resources and the World Health Organization websites, and search the Internet for morbidity and mortality data. Consider the changes in causes of morbidity and mortality, both in the United States and globally, and how the application of theory might have influenced those changes. With these thoughts in mind: Post 3-4 pages of explanation for the reversal in morbidity and mortality during the past century, either in the U.S. or globally. Then, explain how applying community health education theories might have contributed to the reduction in morbidity and mortality .
