Social Mobility

 

Social mobility refers to the movement of individuals or groups within a social hierarchy or stratification system. It encompasses the ability of people to move upward or downward in society in terms of social status, wealth, education, and occupation. This movement can occur within a person’s lifetime or across generations.

Please keep in mind when writing this paper, I am a female and I have three children. Any other questions, just ask.

” For this assignment, you will trace your  family’s history of social  mobility. Consider various types of s.m., including  intergenerational mobility, intergenerational mobility, and status attainment. You should examine at least three generations of your family and think  about their achievements and ascriptions and whether people climbed upward,  slid downward, or remained the same. Be sure to think about race and gender and  their role in it’s status.  You should also make predictions about your own s.m. and your  children’s (real or imagined) future mobility. To complete this assignment, perform the following tasks: Describe your family’s history of s.m  through at least three generations. Types of s.m to discuss include  intergenerational mobility, intergenerational mobility, and status attainment. Â Explain the role of race and gender in the  discussion on mobility and social status. Explore and then explain why each generation  achieved different levels of social mobility. Predict your own s.m and if you have  children, their mobility. Support your work with the text readings, lectures,  and appropriate outside resources.”

The organization is using outdated office equipment In addition, one additional staff member is needed in order to keep up with incoming phone calls and requests for presentations and community outreach activities. A portion of the grant – $2 million – is allotted for business improvements which can address one of these three areas: repairs to building, outdated office equipment, and more staff. The remaining $8 million is to be used to further enhance the continuum of care level to provide access to preventive health services.

  • Section A: Create a cost benefit analysis for an update that will improve the business: structural, office equipment, or staff. You can be creative in determining what the business needs.  The cost will use the full amount of funds allotted to this improvement ($2 Million), so you can only improve one of these three needs
    Note: Your work must include Steps 1-4, as outlined in section 7.2 of your course text.
  • Section B: Create a cost effective analysis to determine how to best spend the $8 million portion of the grant funding on education and other preventive services.

Risks Benefits And Diagnosis

(Risks Benefits And Diagnosis)

300 words (Well Written)            Due 5/17/2018

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read the required chapters from the text and review the required articles for this week.

The risk-benefit calculation for any drug assumes a correct diagnosis of the disorder. Many investigators and clinicians feel the current epidemic of child psychiatric disorders is largely due to inappropriate diagnosis. Evaluate the risk and benefits of using psychoactive drugs in children correctly diagnosed with a disorder versus those incorrectly diagnosed with a disorder. Consider the risks and benefits of not treating (drug treatment) a child because he or she is not correctly diagnosed with a disorder.  In your evaluation summarize the natural course of the disorder, the drug action on the neurotransmitter systems in question, and the likelihood of short-term, long-term, and permanent positive and negative effects of drug treatment. Make sure to take into account the ethical dimension of this risk-benefit calculation.

Guided Response: Review several of your colleagues’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful interactive discourse in this discussion. What was the substance of your colleague’s argument? Do you agree with this argument? Why, or why not? To what extent did your colleague consider the ethical dimension to this risk-benefit calculation when prescribing drugs for children who are too young to be of the age of legal consent? Whether you agree or disagree with the conclusion, was the ethical aspect dealt with in a responsible manner? What insights did your colleague include that you had not considered? What might you suggest he or she consider which was not already included? Please use your research to support your assertions. Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST) on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post.

I Chose Disability And Sexuality This Is The Link Http://Topdocumentaryfilms.Com/Last-Taboo/

There are a ton of links in this class to what I think, if I may say so, are pretty interesting.  You will find the links in every chapter.  There are movies, pictures, websites, all kinds of stuff.  Explore all of them before you choose.  Your assignment is to pick one – any one- and write an OPINION paper about it.

Note that the word OPINION is capitalized…on purpose.  I want to know what you think about it, love it or hate it doesn’t matter.  You will NOT be graded on your opinion, you will be graded on criteria listed in the rubric (see below).

Your paper should be between 500-600 words (use wordcounter.net) and should be structured in the following format:

5 distinct paragraphs – intro(list which link you chose), 123 points, conclusion.  USE PARAGRAPH BREAKS between each paragraph. This is NOT texting!  Basically, your paper will be about WHY you chose what you chose.  Defend your opinion, citing specific examples (ex. what makes it interesting to you or list reasons why you think it is garbage – be nice…).  Make sure you identify which link you’re writing about in the opening paragraph.

What I DON’T want is a synopsis.  Don’t write me a paper on what you are watching or describe to me what is being presented.  Remember, I’ve seen them – I’m the one who put them there.  If you fail to follow this rule, I will send the paper back and you will have to write it again.

This is not a hard assignment, it is meant for you to let me know who you are in this cold computer world.  I am in your corner and want you to succeed in this class – this isn’t an English class, so have some fun with it.  Psst. Hedwig and the Angry Inch is pretty incredible.  Neil Patrick Harris just played him on Broadway.  There are tons to choose from if this doesn’t appeal to you.

Sexual Harassment And Ethics

/in , , /by

Sexual Harassment And Ethics

(Sexual Harassment And Ethics)

Sexual harassment is a profound violation of ethical principles, undermining dignity, respect, and equality. It encompasses unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. Ethically, it contravenes the fundamental principle of treating others with fairness, respect, and integrity.

An ethical workplace must cultivate a culture of zero tolerance towards sexual harassment. This entails clear policies, comprehensive training, and robust mechanisms for reporting and addressing incidents. Organizations bear a responsibility to create safe environments where employees feel empowered to speak up without fear of retaliation.

Beyond legal obligations, addressing sexual harassment aligns with broader ethical imperatives of justice and human rights. It’s about recognizing the inherent worth and dignity of every individual and ensuring their right to work free from discrimination and harassment.

Furthermore, ethical leadership plays a pivotal role in setting the tone and upholding standards of conduct. Leaders must lead by example, actively promote a culture of respect, and swiftly address any instances of misconduct.

Ultimately, combating sexual harassment isn’t just a legal obligation; it’s a moral imperative rooted in principles of fairness, equality, and human dignity. Ethical workplaces are not just about profitability but about fostering environments where everyone can thrive with dignity and respect.

(Sexual Harassment And Ethics)
A minimum of 350 words required.

Sexual harassment is an important issue. The APA Ethics Code specifically states that professionals should not engage in any type of sexual harassment, be it verbal or physical.

Imagine you are the clinical supervisor of a mental health/research center. One of your younger clinical employees, Jamie Johns (ABD), has come to you complaining that her supervisor, Dr. Worth, has crossed boundaries during their clinical supervision by asking Jamie about her sexual orientation. Jamie reports that Dr. Worth has made sexual comments to her while discussing cases.

Jamie states that Dr. Worth is going to tell you that Jamie was sexually involved with one of her clients. She has confronted Dr. Worth about this being a breach of the APA Ethics Code. She reports that Dr. Worth laughed at her for saying this and said that he knows that the clinical supervisor will believe him over a new student practitioner.

Jamie is very upset while reporting this to you. She explains that she has not done anything wrong and has followed the Ethics Code. She sees this not only as a personal attack but also as a professional violation by Dr. Worth.

What is happening in this situation? Clearly identify and address some of the potential conflicts in this case study. You might want to look at multicultural issues, personal issues, and other human relation areas. Have you ever witnessed or heard about a similar occurrence? (Please remember to only share what you are comfortable with in an appropriate, anonymous manner.) Did you have any specific thoughts or feelings about the event? If so, how has the information learned in this unit changed that viewpoint? What would you have done differently?

Many marketing efforts perpetuate the gender stereotypes that are steeped in our culture. Two examples at attempts to maintain these stereotypes through advertising are the Bic Critsal For Her and the Easy Bake Oven. These two conceivably innocuous items triggered a flood of articles, petitions, and videos, denouncing their perceived underlying messages.

The first controversy that erupted surrounded the Bic Cristal For Her pen. This pen was created and packaged specifically for women to use. Several groups lashed out at Bic, calling their attempt to target women with “lady pens” sexist and demeaning. Its detractors felt the campaign was degrading and fed into stereotypes by highlighting the thin design and the use of pastel colors. The negative press was overwhelming, although the pens have remained on the market.

Consumers also targeted those responsible for marketing the Easy Bake Oven by sending a petition asking its parent company Hasbro to make the ovens in colors other than pink and purple. Thousands of individuals signed the petition asking for alternative oven colors after a teenage girl from New Jersey was angered that her younger brother would have no other option but to use an oven in the colors that are considered stereotypically female. It was argued that the colors supported the stereotypical view that only young girls would want to bake. The signers of the petition felt that young boys who might want to use the toy would be more likely to practice their baking skills if the color of the oven was gender neutral.

Consider these two stories and think about your own reactions to the responses to the advertising and merchandising of these items.

To prepare: the assigned resources and reflect on your experience with gender.

Submit a 2- to 4- page paper, in which you:

  • Identify specific messages about gender presented in the mass media.
  • Discuss messages about gender you have received from your family or cultural group.
  • Analyze how these messages have influenced your experience with gender.
  • Explain how you might address issues related to sexism in the mass media and diverse cultural beliefs about gender and gender roles in your social work practice.

Prior to beginning this assignment, read the PSY650 Week Two Treatment Plan ,Preview the document Case  16: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Gorenstein and Comer  (2014), and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders in Hamblin and  Gross (2012).

Assess the evidence-based practices implemented in this case study by addressing the following issues:

  • Explain the connection between each theoretical orientation used by Dr. Remoc and the four interventions utilized in the case.
  • Consider Dr. Remoc’s utilization of two theoretical frameworks to  guide her treatment plan.  Assess the efficacy of integrating two  orientations based on the information presented in the case study.  Describe some potential problems with prescribing medication as the only  treatment option for children with ADHD.
  • Identify tasks and positive reinforcements that might be included in  Billy’s token economy chart given the behavior issues described in the  case. (There are articles in the recommended resources that may assist  you in this portion of the assignment.)
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of the four treatment interventions  implemented by Dr. Remoc and support your statements with information  from the case and two to three peer-reviewed articles from the Ashford  University Library.
  • Recommend three additional treatment interventions that would be  appropriate in this case. Use information from the Hamblin and Gross  “Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders” chapter to help support your  recommendations. Justify your selections with information from the  case.
