  • Opioid Addiction and Treatment methods in Appalachia

    The signature assignment will entail research on the most commonly used methods of treatment for a specific addictive substance of the students choice.

    The addictive substance of choice for my signature assignment is opioids. Three reliable references I will be utilizing are:

    SAMHSA.gov

    ASAM.org

    ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

    (these have to be used, but more probably should be)

    Particular interest to Southeastern Kentucky/Appalachian region and MAT and IOP

    Background:

    Communities throughout the United States have facilities that provide various types and levels of treatment for addiction to alcohol and other substances. These facilities provide services which vary from outpatient levels of care, inpatient levels of care, and long-term residential levels of care. Outpatient addiction treatment services often include Intensive Outpatient Programs, referred to as IOP or Partial Hospitalization Programs or PHP. These programs incorporate several hours of group therapy multiple days per week, along with individual counseling sessions, and case management. Many communities have facilities that provide services in which patients reside within the facility for 28 days or longer and receive individual and group treatment. Some facilities provide residential care for 1 year or longer. Most addiction treatment facilities provide various types of evidence-based treatments designed to assist patients to achieve long term recovery from addiction. Some facilities may provide faith-based services while others utilize Medication Assisted Treatment or MAT with a harm-reduction approach. Medication Assisted Treatment utilizes specific drugs such as Suboxone or Methadone to assist patients in avoiding relapse on drugs such as Heroin, Fentanyl, or prescription opioid medications

  • Power Point Integrating Knowledge of Social Sciences

    Develop a 18-20 slide PowerPoint presentation (excluding title and reference slides) in APA format that evaluates applicable federal policies for a specific social issue.

    The Social issue and some information is in the document attached.

    Section I. Overview and Background – Social Issue and Target Population

    This section should identify the social issue and the target population. Use of recent research evidence, facts, and relevant statistics to demonstrate the severity of the social issue and its impact on the target population.

    Section II. Policy Analysis – Applicability, Feasibility, Gaps and Deficiencies of Two Policies

    This section of the assignment should identify two federal policies that attempt to address the social issue for the target population. This section should provide a comprehensive overview of the two policies. This overview should include critical background information such as the year the policy was enacted, how the policy is funded, identification of the politicians, legislatures, and stakeholders that developed the policy. Also, provide information related to individuals and groups that actively oppose the policy, including the reasons for the opposition.
    This section should use CDC (2016) policy frameworks to analyze, interpret, and summarize the benefits and limitations associated with each of the three social policies. Discuss the need to address policy gaps and deficiencies. Use recent research evidence, facts, and statistics to support your analysis and interpretation of the two policies.

    Section III. Policy Evaluation – CDC Policy Evaluation Framework
    This section should demonstrate the use the CDC (2016) evaluation framework to assess each policy and compare and contrast the two federal policies. Use the CDC Policy table to create a visual depiction that compares and contrasts the two policies.
    Discuss which policy presents the best legislative solution to help the target population. Likewise, discuss the policy that is least effective for the target population in the long run.

    Section IV. New Policy Proposal – Designing Policy to Address Policy Gaps and Deficiencies
    This section requires the students to present a comprehensive overview of a new proposal that they have designed. The student will integrate contextual knowledge of the gaps and deficiencies associated with existing policy for a specific social issue and target population to design new and improved policy.
    The student will clearly state the applicability, feasibility and integrity of your proposed policy. Thoroughly discuss the benefits, limitations as well as any potential gaps and deficiencies opposers to your policy could point out.

    Section V. Social Media Campaign – Promoting Policies that Advocates for Human Rights
    This section should discuss the role of social media in providing information, advocacy, or opposition for the selected social issue and each of the social policies. Describe how the student would leverage social media to execute a successful campaign to disseminate factual information about your new policy proposal.

    Section VI. Conclusion
    This section should provide a brief, concise conclusion statement recapping the key elements of the Power Point presentation assignment.

    Section I: Social Issue & Target Population

  • Writing Discussion #2

    For your second writing discussion, I want you to share items that you’ve found but realized you can’t use.

    A really important part of writing is reading. And a really important part of reading is realizing that something you read taught you something but is not useful for your current project. (I also know that assignments have things like citation minimums and it can seem useful to force in some information because you read it; always make sure the information you’re including is useful for what you’re doing in your writing.)

    I’m obviously a big proponent of keeping notes on things you’ve read because you never know when you might be able to use that source (perhaps another course). But I think that sharing things we’ve read can help us to find other resources. For this writing discussion, I’d like you to do the following:

    You can use your experience from this course or others searching for articles on your project(s). Pick an academic article that you found and thought would be useful for a topic but, after reading over it, you realized it wasn’t useful. Please detail the following items:

    1. A full citation of the article
    2. A few sentences explaining why you thought it would be interesting (i.e. what did you think it’d be useful for you for), with attention to the key factors/issues of interest
    3. A few sentences explaining why you realized it wasn’t as useful (maybe their case was different than you thought, it didn’t contain the variables you were especially interested in, it covered a different era than you’re focusing on, and so on).

    and that’s it. As this forum fills up, come back and read over them to see if there are articles that may be useful for you in your own projects.

  • Foucault’s theories of power, knowledge, and discipline in s…

    Read: Docile Bodies, 135-69, especially 135-56. [on bodies] The Means of Correct Training, 170-77 and 184-94. [on disciplines] Panopticism, 195-228, especially 195-209. [on spaces]

    Prompt:

    Two pages, computer typed, single spaced, 10 point font, Microsoft Word doc file bibliography/endnotes on 3rd page, 1 quote per reading.

    In the last third of the twentieth century, Michel Foucault wielded incredible influence as part of the unfolding of postmodern intellectual inquiry. Working in a remarkable interdisciplinary mode (and with a legacy across the arts, humanities, and social sciences), he did this in part through 1) his theoretical alignment of power and knowledgehow power works to produce knowledge that reinforces power, and 2) his historical investigation of the archaeology of knowledge, i.e., the times, places, and ways certain systems of knowledge that we may now take for granted first emerged and were solidified. Part of that investigation involved a series of studies of concepts associated with specific building types (e.g., the hospital and the prison), each with its particular spatial arrangement that exemplified power. However, he also studied human practices (e.g., sexuality) and systems of thought (e.g., reason vs. unreason) that have their own distinctive institutionalization. For our study of the socio-spatial dimensions of Foucaults thought and citing supporting or pertinent passages from the assigned texts by him and Shabazz, consider a spatial context or condition in which you have felt under surveillance or disciplined as that surveillance or discipline operated in and through space, exposing you to scrutiny and conditioning your behavior. In the first half of the essay, frame your personal experience in Foucaults terms and provide a thick description of the social and spatial circumstances of that experience. Analyze the details. Who claimed the power of surveillance and discipline? To what ends? What was the practice that was being scrutinized? Where did it take place and what was its spatial condition? Did the surveillance/discipline make you act differently or even think differently about yourself and your actions in space? Then in the second half of the essay, consider how that discipline (as a means of training) may have resulted in the construction of disciplinary knowledge (like that in education, medicine, sport, the performing arts, etc.) through record keeping, representation, analysis and assessment, rankings, archives, etc. What kind of knowledge was thus constructed? Finally, assess your internationalization of discipline as self-discipline, if in fact you think that is what happened. How can that be understood as positive and/or negative? How is it possible to work creatively with/against the regime of power/knowledge in its social and spatial manifestations? How might you apply these strategies to ethical and effective design?

  • Anomie and contemporary societal changes

    Considering the profound social, economic, and technological changes associated with the Fourth Industrial Revolution and globalization, to what extent do you think contemporary societies are experiencing forms of anomie? In your response, explain what anomie means, identify specific examples that support or challenge this idea (such as changes in work, social norms, or identity), and justify your position using concepts from the course.
