The core assignment of this course is a documented research paper (1500-2000 words in length = approx. 6 – 8 pages double spaced, 12-point font). •The paper should support a thesis statement with information gained from research or investigation. •The paper will not be just a report presenting information, but will be a paper that carefully examines and presents your own historical interpretation of the topic you have chosen and your interpretation of the information you have gathered. •The paper may include consideration of problems and solutions, define key terms, or refute arguments against your thesis statement.  It will be important to choose a topic of interest to you. •Approach this assignment with an open and skeptical mind, then form an opinion based on what you have discovered. •You must suspend belief while you are investigating and let the discoveries shape your opinion. (This is a thesis-finding approach.) •Once you have found your thesis, write the paper to support it.  You will use some of the following critical thinking skills in this process: 1.Choosing an appropriate topic, limiting the topic 2.Gathering information, summarizing sources 3.Analyzing and evaluating sources 4.Defining key terms 5.Synthesizing information, comparing and contrasting sources 6.Testing a thesis, making a historical argument, using refutation 7.Amassing support for a position 8.Documenting sources  Because this may be a longer paper than you have written before and a complex process is involved, it is recommended that you complete this paper using the following steps: 1.Choose a topic related to U.S. History up to 1877 (Chapters 1-15) that you would truly like to explore and that you are willing to spend some time on. Your chosen topic should be focused. Pose a question that you really want to answer. You may want to begin with more than one topic in mind. 2.Do some preliminary reading on the topic(s). You may begin with the textbook, then further explore the information available. Refine your topic. Summarize your topic, your interest in the topic, the questions you want to answer, and a hypothesis you want to test. 3.Gather information from a variety of sources. Use a minimum of four sources for your paper, and at least one must be a primary source. ◦Examples of primary sources are ones that are used in our discussion forums 2 – 8. ◦They are sources that are contemporary to the times under investigation. ◦An example of a secondary source is our textbook, though the textbook also contains excerpts of primary sources, which you may use as a source in your paper.  4.Outline the results of your research and the plan for your paper (you are not required to submit the outline). 5.Write the final draft and be sure to include a Works Cited List, and use the correct MLA documentation style.

 

Choose one population with which you are not familiar. After reviewing this week’s assigned readings, prepare a list of 10 questions to gain a deeper understanding of the selected population’s cultural needs. Your questions should reflect critical aspects of cultural competence that have been identified in social work research. You will then prepare a 1-2 paragraph explanation for each question of why you believe each question would assist you in gaining a better understanding of the population’s social work needs. Remember to cite pertinent research to support your explanation.

You will conclude your assignment with a brief personal self-reflection in which you identify the types of clientele you might find particularly challenging, stimulating, and beneficial to work with due to their own background, values, and relationship style. 

Support your assignment with at least three scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including seminal articles, may be included. 

Total Length: 4-6 pages, not including title and reference pages

Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

 

Doug Smith was captain of the football team at Prestige University. Later, he earned a master’s degree in business administration with a concentration in accounting.

Upon graduation, Doug accepted a position with Financial Express, Inc., in the accounting and finance division. At first, things were going smoothly. He had an outgoing personality, and the president of the company took a liking to him. However, Doug was somewhat bothered when the president started asking him to do some things that were slightly unethical. When he protested mildly, the president said: “Come on, son, this is the way the business world works. You have great potential if you don’t let things like this get in your way.”

As time went on, Doug was asked to do things that were more unethical, and finally he was performing illegal acts. When he resisted, the president appealed to his loyalty and asked him to be a team player. The president also promised Doug great wealth sometime in the future. Finally, when he was told to falsify some financial statements by making improper entries and sign some documents containing material errors, the president supported his request by stating: “You are in too deep now to refuse to cooperate. If I go down, you are going with me.”

Through various company schemes, Doug had convinced some friends and relatives to invest about $10 million. Most of this would be lost if the various company schemes were revealed.

Doug could not sleep at night and began each day with a pain in his stomach and by becoming physically ill. He was under great strain and believed that he could lose his mind. He also heard that the president had a shady past and could become violent in retaliating against his enemies. If Doug blows the whistle, he believes he will go to prison for his part in the schemes.

Discuss the following:

1. What are Doug’s options now? List one possibility.
2. If you were in Doug’s situation, state one thing you would have done. Briefly justify the reason for your approach.

Your answers to (a) and (b) should be different from your classmates.
