Social Welfare Policy and Program PowerPoint Presentation

Congratulations! The hiring committee was impressed by your interview and case study sample in Unit 4. You were selected for the job and now have been tasked with your first major project. For this assignment, you have been asked to create a professional PowerPoint presentation (and provide notes on each slide) for the team, analyzing policies and programs in social welfare, paying particular attention to multiculturalism and diversity, social justice, and inequality.

For this assignment, please respond to the following:

Slide 1: Title Slide

Slides 2 & 3: Identify one social welfare policy related to a major social problem from the textbook, such as criminal justice, child welfare, mental health, housing, or disabilities. Explain the purpose, history, and main components of the policy.

Slide 4: Briefly explain how the policy promotes social justice and responds to inequality and institutional discrimination that affect diverse populations.

Slides 5 & 6: Next, research and identify a program, preferably one that exists in your community or state (PA), which provides services related to this policy. Explain the program’s purpose or mission, the location/demographics, target population, and interventions provided within the program. For example, a behavioral health program that serves youth ages 13-18 in a certain location providing individual and group counseling interventions

Slides 7, 8, & 9: Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of both the policy and the program in terms of how well it addresses multiculturalism and diversity. For example, does the policy and program specifically reach out to diverse populations or does it ignore or limit the multicultural dimensions of helping?

Slides 10 & 11: How does the program and policy address at least two of the following: social justice principles, systemic or institutional barriers, or inequality and poverty?

Response Essay 4

Disparities in the Juvenile Justice
System

Objective:  The purpose of this essay is for you to think
critically about how the operation of the juvenile justice system may differ
based on the race, ethnicity, and or class of the juvenile.

The
Questions:  Based on your reading of BOTH Agnew’s chapter 22
and the Smith et al. article, why do you think race, ethnic, and class
disparities exist in the juvenile justice system?  Be sure to support your answer with
information from the readings and class presentations.  What steps would you recommend for reducing
discrimination by the juvenile justice system?

Other advice:

• I
  expect well-constructed and thorough essays.  It should be clear to me that you read
  both Chapter 22 and the Smith et
  al. article. 
• Please
  be sure to follow all written work directions as posted on Blackboard.
• There is no page requirement, but at a minimum I would expect 3 pages.
• When
  uploading, please attach you file as a Word or PDF document.  Do not type your essay directly into the
  contents box

article to read 

1) Define ‘perception’ in your own words, including an explanation of the three basic steps involved in perception (selection, organization, interpretation). See pages 5 and 6 of the online lecture. 
2) Define ‘self-concept’ in your own words and explain how our ‘self-perception’ is an important factor in our communication with others. See pages 7 and 8 of the online lecture. 

3) Identify the four primary Barriers to Accurate Perception of Self and Others and provide a brief explanation for each barrier to describe how each could affect our communication. See page 12 of the online lecture. 

4) When you react to others in a negative or volatile way showing anger, you aren’t using good communication skills or taking the time to make sure you are correctly interpreting what another person is attempting to communicate; your perception (or interpretation) of the message could be wrong. Describe some ways you could improve the reliability of your perception in certain situations. See “Improving Your Perception of Self and Others” on page 14 of the online lecture.

Submission Criteria

Submission should be a total of 200 or more words.

Views on Diversity

Pablo believes that diversity is the most important issue in our culture, and that it is greatly underemphasized. On the other hand, Ralph rarely thinks of diversity, except when it is mentioned in the workplace. Monica is sensitized to multicultural issues because her parents are immigrants who still struggle with discrimination after being here for 20 years.

To obtain a cross-section of what people think about diversity, conduct five-minute interviews with three individuals you don’t know well, and assess their views on diversity. You have been provided an Informed Consent document for the respondents to sign along with verbally consenting to participate in this assignment. This is to enable that the respondents demonstrate a clear understanding of the meaning and purpose of this assignment. While you are expected to use the informed consent form in keeping with ethical practices for data collection, you do not need to submit it to the instructor as part of the assignment.

Ask the respondents the following questions and record their answers:

• When you hear the word diversity mentioned in the workplace, in the media, or in casual conversation, what meaning do you assign this term?
• Does a particular race, ethnic group, or other minority group come to mind when you think of diversity? Does one of these groups pertain to you?
• Do you think the majority of people in our culture:

• • Respect cultural differences among groups of people.
  • Show indifference to cultural differences.
  • Lack respect for cultural differences. Explain each choice.

• If you were to make a suggestion about how our culture should handle diversity over the next decade, what would it be?

Compile your responses and write a brief reflection paper (two pages) on your findings. Specifically address the following issues:

• What did you discover was the general attitude toward diversity in our culture?
• Is diversity more associated with one race, ethnic, or other minority group than with others? If so, explain why this might be the case.
• Compare and contrast the respondent’s views with your own. How would you answer the same questions?

Submit your response to the M1: Assignment 3 Dropbox by Wednesday, April 23, 2014. Your response should be at least two pages long. All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.

Many project managers plan their schedules based on the programmer
productivity on past projects. This productivity is often measured in
terms of a unit of size per unit of time. For example, an organization
may produce 300 lines of code per day or 1200 application points per
month. Is it appropriate to measure productivity in this way? Discuss
the measurement of productivity in terms of the following issues:

1. Different languages can produce different numbers of lines of code for implementation of the same design
2. Productivity in lines of code cannot be measured until implementation begins.
3. Programmers may structure code to meet productivity goals.

A bank must report
to the government’s tax institution all transactions (deposits and
withdrawals) that exceed $10,000. Building on the initial design of
the banking system from question 22, use the Observer design
pattern to construct a class that monitors all Account
transactions.

Consider a simplified OO design, shown in Figure, for
a banking system. Accounts can be created at the bank, money can be
deposited and withdrawn from the account. An account is accessed by
its account number. Use the Decorator design pattern to add two new
banking features to the design:
(a) Overdraft protection: allows the customer to withdraw money
when the account balance is zero; total amount that can be
withdrawn in this feature is a predefined credit limit.
(b) Transaction fee: charges the customer a fixed fee for each
deposit and withdrawal transaction.
