Article Review

One of your ethical responsibilities as a social worker is to stay up to date on trends and emerging evidence-based practices (EBP). Applying EBP includes two steps: (1) researching for further information or ways to solve a problem; and (2) putting that information or solution into practice. Your field experience is the optimal setting to try this out, with the support of your field instructor.

During your Week 1 Field Seminar, you identified a social work topic and searched in the Walden Library for a journal article on that topic. For this Assignment, you will engage in the first step of EBP by reading and reviewing an article that is relevant to your field experience. As you do so, you will consider the second step: the informations application to generalist practice.

To prepare:

• If you have not already done so: Using the Walden Library, search for a journal article on the social work topic you identified in the Week 1 Seminar.
• Read the article critically, and then consider its application to your field experience setting.

Main Assignment: Submit a 2- to 3-page paper addressing the following sections: No more than 3 pages

Purpose and Main Points

• What is the purpose of the article?
• Why did you choose this article?
• How does this article relate to the field experience?
• What are the main points of the article?

Population and Findings

• Does the article focus on any at-risk or vulnerable populations? If so, which ones?
• How did the authors arrive at their conclusions or findings? Were there any references to research, data collection, etc.?

Application to Generalist Social Work Practice

• How would you be able to integrate the information from the article into generalist social work practice?
• Overall, how would you rate the quality of the information provided in the article?

Add an introduction and conclusion to help organize your paper effectively. Be sure to provide APA citations and a reference list acknowledging your chosen journal article and any other resources you have used in your Assignment.

Note: After you have finished your paper, prepare 35 slides that summarize the article and its key findings. During the Week 4 Field Seminar, you will give a brief presentation. See the Week 4 Field Seminar for full details.

Engaging clients and systems is an important part of social work practice. Your agency likely uses many strategies to engage clients and the community at large. How effective are these strategies with diverse populations? And to what extent do they align with principles of anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI)? Such principles recognize that racism is systemic, that the client is the expert of their story, and that voices should not be silenced. Social workers actively attempt to disrupt racism at all levels of practice. Even you, in your capacity as a social work student, can support how ADEI principles are applied at your agency.

In this Discussion, you consider engagement strategies in the context of diverse populations.

To prepare:

• Review the articles in the Learning Resources, which discuss outreach and engagement with diverse populations. Also review the Bussey et al. article Leading the Charge in Addressing Racism and Bias.
• Reflect on the strategies that your field agency usesand doesnt useto engage diverse populations.

Main Assignment: Post

• Identify two strategies from the articles that are being used in your agency. Explain how they are used.
• Explain how these strategies align with anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI) related to the diverse population.
• Identify one strategy from the articles that is not being used, and explain how it would help engage clients if it were used.

Reflect to at least two colleagues:

• Explain how your colleague might help implement the strategy not being used.

2 Discussion Questions 250 words with 2 peer supported scholarly resource per question.

Question 1.

250 words with 2 peer supported scholarly resource.

Assessment Description

An externality constitutes a market failure. An example of an negative externality is air pollution from power-generating facilities (e.g., coal-fired power plant). Identify and explain two market-based solutions that would help to mitigate negative externalities, like air pollution? How would government, if at all, need to play a role in pollution abatement?

Question 2.

250 words with 2 peer supported scholarly resource.

Assessment Description

Have legislative remedies, like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, produced results to mitigate negative externalities? At what cost? Have the benefits of the legislation outweighed the costs to industry? Identify and describe two additional measures that state and/or city governments are undertaking to reduce contributions to climate change by addressing degradation of air, land, and water (e.g., efforts in California, City of Phoenix).

Select an artwork (painting, sculpture, architecture) from the High Renaissance period that you consider to embody the concept of the sublime. Share the image of the painting along with a brief analysis explaining why you believe it captures the sublime. Consider elements such as composition, use of light and shadow, and subject matter to support your analysis. Examine how the artist’s choices enhance the painting’s grandeur and emotional impact. Do not repeat an artwork from your peers.

• Find an artwork that is not explained or discussed in the book or PowerPoint. Do not repeat an artwork used by another student.

As this is a higher-education course, please respond accordingly. It is essential to reply to at least two classmates. If not, a deduction will be made from the grade. Your statement should be at least 250 words, and each reply should be at least 150. This is due next Saturday at 11:59 p.m.

Artists from the Renaissance period:

Leonardo da Vinci, Titian, Michelangelo, Raffaello, Donato Bramante, Sebastiano del Piombo, Andrea del Sarto, ecc.

I will add all the guidelines below

For your first paper, you will continue thinking and writing about Cultural Relativism. You will write a 1200-1500 (minimum) word reaction/position paper. There is no maximum.

You will be watching the movie HOTEL RWANDA and following the instructions below.

Make sure to CITE your sources. You CAN ONLY use class material to make your case.

NO OUTSIDE SOURCES! (Unless we are using FACTS (like the video below, you cannot use outside opinion or analysis unless you have run it by me first.)

Link to movie description on internet movie database is below but you must find access to the movie yourself. You can find it on the library website.

If you are having trouble, please contact me immediately/asap. In very rare cases, I would be up for changing the film but, again, this is rare. That should not dissuade you from speaking to me about your issues/concerns. Obviously, the sooner you contact me, the better.

For some more historical/cultural background, you can watch this video (in addition to watching the movie). This is not the movie, only an informational video:

HANDY-DANDY GUIDE TO WRITING A PAPER FOR ME:

1.Introduction/Thesis: State your Thesis and introduce your paper!

• the sketch of your primary claim with relevant supporting ideas (do you lean towards a universal or relativistic model of morality?)
• mention the movie and how it’s relevant
• here you should be making specific but not detailed (think of your introduction as your table of contents) claims/points

2. SUMMARY/SYNOPSIS What are you reacting to? THIS SHOULD ONLY BE A SHORT SUMMARY. It should not be more than a few hundred words.

Goal: Present what you are writing about.

Identify all of the basic information: about the book/movie/documentary that you will be relating to your argument and explaining in more detail later in your paper.

• the author of the piece, the title of the piece, the title of the book or journal from which it was taken (if relevant), the publisher, and the year of publication;
• the topic or subject of the piecefor example, “The Triangle Shirt-Waist Fire” or “Revitalization efforts underway in Roxbury’s Codman Square.” In other words, tell what the piece is about in a word or a phrase.
• Ex? In-class.

3. What is Cultural Relativism? How does the movie relate?

• Explaining Cultural Relativism, the argument(s), give elaborations in terms of the movie, and how does CR arise in different circumstances in the movie?
  • You should be using scenes from the movie and class materials (books, lectures, etc…) to explain what CR is, including the argument(s) for it.
  • You should be citing class materials and quoting when appropriate (from both the book and the movie).
  • Give examples that parallel the scenes in the movie to back up your interpretive analysis.
  • Ex. ? In-class.

4. .Thought Prompts/Analysis/Personal Response—

You will be choosing a side: Pro Relativism or Pro Universalism (weak or strong).

Goal: You should be writing about your naive* views as they relate to the possibility of a universal morality versus a relativistic model. You should use the movie as an entry point.

*Naive? Let’s talk about it….

I have listed a few questions below that should help you think about the case you want to make and how to relate it back to the movie. You should be connecting our discussion about cultural relativism (esp, the cultural differences argument [ie, the argument for CR) and criticisms of CR) with the themes and ideas in the movie. The questions below are NOT the writing prompts for this assignment. They are meant to get you brainstorming.

+What goals does the United Nations pursue? When, if at all, is UN intervention or involvement morally permissible?

+Tatsi tells her husband (scene 17, roughly 1:20:24 into the film): “You are a good man, Paul Rusesabagina.” Does she mean he is a good Hutu? If not (or if not merely that), what does it mean to be a (morally) good person?

+How do you react to the piece on a (moral) personal level? Why?

+How does the piece relate to your experience or your own “naive” moral perspective?

+what questions does the piece raise for you — about the material, about other things?

+does the piece remind you of other readings you’ve done for the class? compare and contrast the piece to those readings.
