GET A PROFESSIONAL PAPER DONE BY AN EXPERT
The purpose of this assignment is to (1) utilize conceptual frameworks to guide the processes of assessment, intervention, and evaluation; (2) critique and apply knowledge to understand person and environment. (3) Recognize and communicate their understanding of the importance of difference in shaping life experiences. You will review recent literature (a minimum of four references) about your chosen topic. The references must be based on information from professional social work literature. At least one reference must also reflect an international perspective. You must identify social work assessment and intervention practices related to your topic. You must communicate your understanding of the importance of how this topic plays a role in shaping life experiences. The paper is to be a minimum of 10 double-spaced pages, in APA formatting, the paper will summarize what you have learned from your research.Please choose one of the following three options:Option 1: DiversityThe goal of this assignment is to allow you the opportunity to focus in greater depth on how a specific life course stage might be experienced by members of a specific group. Choose a specific life course stage, such as infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, middle adulthood, late adulthood, or very late adulthood. In addition, choose a group a demographic category (i.e.: race, ethnicity, social class, gender, sexual orientation, etc., or some combination of categories such as Asian-American lesbians) or it may be a group that must cope with a particular challenge (i.e., developmental disabilities, serious mental illness, mobility disabilities, heart disease or addictions). Review recent literature about the Bio psychosocial-spiritual experiences of the specific group with the tasks of a specific life stage.Option 2: Examination of a ConceptIn our studies, you will encounter many concepts and theoretical propositions. Select a concept related to human behavior theory and a life stage. Review recent professional social work literature about the concept. Discuss how the concept is defined, how the concept is related to at least two theoretical perspectives on human behavior, how the definition and view of the concept have changed over time, and current issues related to the concept. Discuss how these issues are similar and different for the two countries. For example, you might select “adoption” as your concept. You would define the term. You may discuss how adoption has changed from the socially expected result of infertility between two married persons of the opposite sex to a more current approach that includes adoption for gays and lesbians, single parents, or trans-racial or trans-cultural adoption. You might discuss how adoption is viewed by two different countries (i.e. how the sending and receiving countries view adoption).Option 3 Risk and Protective FactorsStudies of a variety of challenges of living (e.g., physical health problems, mental health problems, role performance problems) have focused on multidimensional risk, protection, and resilience factors encountered by the social worker. Available research suggests that some risk and protective factors are commonly experienced across diverse identity groups. We could think about risk and protective factors in terms of a bio-psycho-social-spiritual framework, identifying biological risk and protective factors, psychological risk, and protective factors, social risk and protective factors at several levels, and spiritual risk and protective factors.Choose a specific “challenge of living” social workers can encounter in their work of interest to you (e.g., homelessness, anxiety disorder, violent behavior, cancer, etc.). Review recent literature about this challenge of living with particular attention to whether risk and protective factors are identified. If risk and protective factors are identified, pay attention to where they would fit in a bio-psycho-social-spiritual perspective, e.g., do they identify biological risk factors, psychological risk factors, social risk factors, or spiritual risk factors, and same for protective factors?Evaluation Criteria:1.
