SOCW 6051: Diversity, Human Rights, and Social Justice Week 5 

Assignment: Multiracial Discrimination.

Dalmage (2013) writes, “Parents and teachers should be aware of the unique forms of discrimination faced by multiracial children and the White supremacist system in which discrimination flourishes” (p. 101). As social workers, we should be aware of our own understanding of what it means to be multiracial in society.

This awareness includes a review of our own potential biases that might exist. We need to challenge our own personal ideas about how we categorize individuals and those assumptions that follow along with those categories. Rather, we must respect our client’s experience as a multiracial person in the world, beginning with asking him or her how they would define themselves when completing an intake or assessment form. Further, a social worker must be aware of the many forms of racism and prejudice a person with a multiracial background might experience.

As Dalmage discusses, judgment comes from many sides with different intentions and expectations. Being aware of the particular forms of racism that a person who is multiracial will experience will give you the ability to do your best to understand their experience and empathize.

NO Plagiarism and a Minimum of 400 words

According to the authors, privacy and security go hand in hand; and hence, privacy cannot be protected without implementing proper security controls and technologies. Today, organizations must make not only reasonable efforts to offer protection of privacy of data, but also must go much further as privacy breaches are damaging to its customers, reputation, and potentially could put the company out of business.  As we continue learning from our various professional areas of practice, its no doubt that breaches have become an increasing concern to many businesses and their future operations.   

For this discussion, find an example of a security breach that compromised data records at a company in the same industry as you will be using in your final paper. Summarize the breach, discuss the data that was lost and identify security controls that you would recommend being in place (be certain to remember to cite sources) that could have prevented this breach from occurring. 

  • Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic
  • Provide extensive additional information on the topic
  • Explain, define, or analyze the topic in detail
  • Share an applicable personal experience
  • Provide an outside source (for example, an article from google scholar ) that applies to the topic, along with additional information about the topic or the source (please cite properly in APA)
  • Make an argument concerning the topic.

Elderly

Addressing Needs of the Elderly

Work with the elderly is multifaceted and becoming increasingly important as our aging population increases. Middle-aged adults are finding themselves with difficult decisions related to caring for elderly members of their families, often with the added burdens of health and mobility limitations. In addition, communities face questions regarding how to meet the needs of elderly populations—needs that may include the home delivery of meals, medical care, and transportation.

For this week’s Discussion, you analyze the needs of the elderly in the community where you live to identify social work interventions that could help meet their needs. Consider the cultural backgrounds and other diversity-related characteristics of the elderly population in your community as these inform the types of interventions you select.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a description of a need in your community’s elderly population. Then, propose a plan of action regarding how a social work program or intervention could meet this need. (Since this plan of action may be outside your everyday responsibilities as a clinical social worker, assume that your employer agrees that this service is needed and is granting you the time you need to accomplish this task.)Include in your plan of action the goal of the intervention (i.e., what the intervention will accomplish) and three components of the intervention, explaining how they support this goal.

Explain how ethical frameworks shape business decisions.

/in /by

Research the Purdue Pharma (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/29/health/purdue-opioids-oxycontin.html) that has been in the news for an ethical dilemma. Prepare a PowerPoint about this company’s ethical dilemma and resulting ethical failure, according to the following instructions. 

  1. Create a 15 slide PowerPoint presentation that includes:
    • Title slide with your name, course, date, school, title of presentation;
    • Agenda slide – This lists the key points covered in the PPT;
    • Content slides containing bullet points information with illustrations, diagrams, pictures, graphics etc., as appropriate to the slide’s content;
    • Speaker’s notes on each slide – either text presented in the Speaker Notes section at the bottom of the slides or Audio through your Voice speaking (or both); (Note: Speaker’s Notes are not duplication of the text on the slides. They are explanatory narrative.)
  2. Identify the company you selected;
  • explain the company and its industry;
  • provide the factual background of the problem; and
  • clearly state the ethical dilemma presented by the situation. There should be only ONE ethical dilemma. The company had two choices: the act it chose and an alternative it did not do.

3. Identify and define at least one ethical framework that the company apparently employed in making its decision. Note — Not “Should have used.” It is not acceptable to say it did not act ethically or did not use a framework. Analyze it. Frameworks include utilitarianism, free market ethics, deontology, virtue ethics , etc., covered in your course readings.

4. Then, identify and define at least one ethical framework that the company should have usedwhen the problem arose, and explain how to apply it for them to have reached a better result than what actually happened. Be clear.

5. Identify and explain measures the company should implement to avoid this type of problem in the future.

6. Within your discussion include whether the company had a code of ethics or policy that seemed to apply to the situation, and if so, what went wrong with that?

7. Explain what business leadership in any company can learn from this situation.

8. Have a conclusion that wraps up the key points.

9. Include a Reference slide with at least seven (7) credible sources listed in APA format. (NOTE: Sources must be cited in slides and speaker’s notes for direct quotes, specific facts and graphics, same as in a paper, per APA format. If you are doing audio speaker notes, you would mention the source in your speaking narrative.) (Reminder; we are using APA 7th Ed. format.)

10. Your PPT should have a professional slide background and graphics on each slide. (See rubric)

11. Submit your presentation here in the Assignments section, as a PowerPoint attachment.

12. Please compress your PPT (zip file) if necessary for uploading. There are several sources online to help you with compressing a PowerPoint presentation.

Research outline and annotated bibliography

/in /by

Only need outline (please see attachment) and annotated bibliography right now. The actual paper is not needed right now.

PROBLEM: You have been directed by your corporate or organizational president to research one of the following situations/problems and prepare a formalized research paper. This paper should be addressed to the president, board of directors, and your professor. For this research, you should conduct a review of literature based on the current practices being used in today’s organizations (in terms of your selected research problem/situation).

For your research project, please select one of the following problem or situational areas to research. As you conduct your secondary and/or primary research, you should also develop a well-developed strategy as to how to implement your strategy into this organization. One way to view the selected problem is to think of a current or previous organization, in which you might focus your research efforts towards. For example, you may be facing the same problem in your current organization – so you could write this paper, based on addressing this particular problem with your current organization. If you do not see the relevance of any of these problems with your current or past employers – just write your paper as if you were employed with a Fortune 500 company or an organization currently in the news.

Here is the listing of potential problems or situations from you can select your research topic from:

1. Creation and implementation of an electronic usage (i.e., email, computer, or other computer technology) policy to be used in the organization.
2. Technological changeover from one computer system to a newer computer system (keep in mind the possible conversion problems).
3. Creation and implementation of a revised disciplinary policy to replace a current policy, which is not working (and lawsuits have resulted from the current, poorly written disciplinary policy).
4. Creation and implementation of a new compensation and benefits package (please remember that the president and board of directors may not be as accepting of this particular topic area… but it is worth the challenge of trying to convince them differently).
5. Creation and implementation of a new performance appraisal system or method of conducting performance appraisals.
6. Creation and implementation of an effective recruiting and retention program to enhance the quality of employees and management within the organization.

7. Rollout of a change management initiative.

8. Creation and implementation of a succession plan for mid level and C-Suite leaders.

AUDIENCE:
Please write your research paper as if your organizational or corporate president and/or board of directors (paper should be written in third person) would review and consider its findings and recommendations. However, your professor will be the final reviewer for this paper.

 You will be required to prepare an annotated bibliography with some of the articles/books you plan to cite in your final project. Please follow the sample provided with these instructions. You will be required to have 6-8 entries.

Review and Selection of a Standardized Test

In Unit 1, you read “The Concerns of the Profession” on pages 66–68 of your Psychological Testing and Assessment text as well as the Code. While the Code addresses the roles of test developers and test users separately, you will be following the standards for test users and, specifically, the section on selecting tests (refer page 5). There are nine elements to consider when selecting a test. You will focus on the first four of these elements for this assignment.

In your paper:

  • Identify a test category      that is relevant to your academic and professional career goals. The List      of Tests by Type document identifies the 11 categories you may choose      from. They include (1) intelligence/cognitive abilities, (2)      achievement/aptitude, (3) personality, (4) behavior, (5) adaptive      behavior, (6) neuropsychological, (7) career/business/organization, (8)      autism, (9) depression, (10) preschool, and (11) behavior analytic skill      assessments.
  • Select three tests from a      single category using the List of Tests by Type document. (Note: If      you have an interest in a particular test that is not on this list, then      you may, as an option, submit a request to your instructor to include it      in your first assignment with two other tests on      the list in the same category. Your instructor will review      it and determine if you may proceed with including that test in your      assignment or recommend that you select three tests from the list.)
  • Compare and contrast these      three tests according to the Code’s first four elements.
    • Access the Capella library       and conduct a search. Use the MMY database to locate and read a review       for each test.
    • Visit the publishers’       website for each test to obtain additional information.
    • Return to the Capella       library to choose a database, for example, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, and       ERIC (education research). Search for journal articles that are relevant       to the four elements and each test. (See the PSY7610 Library Search       Guide, linked in the resources, for search advice. An optional worksheet       is also provided to you in the resources to facilitate your research and       literature review.)

Instructions for the content of the paper are in the template located in the Resources. Write your assignment using the u02a1 Assignment Template [DOCX].

You may use the Optional Research Worksheet given in the resources to complete this assignment.

Additional Requirements

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • References: A minimum of nine references are required for this assignment.      These resources may include all of the reference sources identified in      your Psychological Testing and Assessment text      (pages 29–35), but must include:
    • Three MMY test reviews (one       for each test).
    • Three test publisher       websites (one for each test).
    • Three journal articles (one       for each test).
  • Length of paper: A minimum of five pages of content, not      including the title page or references (an abstract is not required).
  • APA format: Current APA format and style is required throughout. Be sure to      use correct format and style for each respective type of reference, for      example, Web site versus journal).

Note: The articles you need to complete this assignment should be available inside the library collection. In future courses, you may use the Capella library’s Interlibrary Loan service to obtain articles outside of the collection, but you should not have to use the service for this course. In the event that you cannot find articles covering a newer test edition, please refer to the List of Tests by Type document in the resources. Note which tests have been designated as acceptable for searching prior test editions.
