Addressing Heterosexist/Homophobic Statements In Organizations

Multicultural development in human services agencies: Challenges and solutions.” Both articles discuss the importance of intentional diversity within agencies and the problems of exclusion as a huge issue in today’s work force. Based upon the readings, for human services agencies to provide adequate service delivery, diversity makes sense. Thus, there must be elimination of sexism, racism, and other forms of oppression, and increase in valuing differences, and a redistribution of power influence among stake holders. Additionally, to be included there must be two needs satisfied: belongingness and uniqueness. Respond to this week’s discussion question by suggesting solutions and intentional efforts to address the following multicultural issues at a leading social service agency:

You are a human services manager at the local Community Action Development Center. Your staff is ethnically and gender diverse, and many solutions/programs have addressed including racial discord and sexist innuendos among staff. Nothing, however, is in place or has been addressed regarding hetero sexist/homophobic statements, insinuations, and bias toward two “out” sexual minority staff. Pulling from suggestions from the authors and the lecture this week, (Theory practice and trends in Human Services)design a plan to address this issue. Include in your discussion effective human services characteristics, traits, and skills that are needed within the agency and why. Remember, the reading states that diverse staff need two needs satisfied: (1) belongingness and (2) uniqueness. Comment on why this is important.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
