Mid Term Assignment

explore how residential patterns affect intergroup relations

The focus of this paper is to explore how residential patterns affect intergroup relations. You will use research approaches such as observation and secondary data analysis to further understand your community. Remember, you should conduct the observation (Step 2 below) on the same locale for which you completed the demographic report in your Week Three assignment (Step 1 below). If you are currently overseas or have other barriers that prevent you from physically accessing a location in the U.S., please contact your instructor for alternative assignment instructions.

Step 1: Using Secondary Data
Use the data gathered on your chosen locality in the Week Three assignment, “Demographic Report,” and implement any feedback from your instructor into your paper. If more data is needed, use demographic data from the latest census (available online using the US Census American FactFinder (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.) and identify the various social and economic characteristics (i.e., education, population, housing, race, class, etc.) of this locale. You can also check government websites for your state, county or city for data. Present your findings in two to three pages of the paper.

Step 2: Using an Observational Study 
Next, spend 30 to 60 minutes observing your community. Go to a central place in your town such as the center of the city, a major landmark, or you can drive or walk to different areas and observe for a few minutes. Take notes of what you observe, including the types of people you see, the economic conditions, as well as the businesses or other institutions that are present. Based on your observations, what can you tell about the economic condition of the majority of people? Is the locale integrated or segregated? In this step, consider the information you have gathered in Step 1 regarding social and economic characteristics, and identify whether it matches what you have recorded from your observation. Be sure to compare the data you gathered from your observations to what was found in the census data and make note if there are differences. Present your findings in one to two pages of the paper.

Step 3: Analysis and Reporting of Research
Analyze your data and present your responses in two to three pages in the paper:

• Describe how segregated the neighborhoods are in your locality. Be sure to consider the various social inequality indicators: race, ethnicity, class, gender, and perhaps sexuality for some areas.
• Indicate if there are policies, practices, or specific circumstances that have created and maintained these patterns.

Here are some examples of aspects to consider: Historically, has there always been racial segregation or not? Was it traditionally an area of immigration from a certain ethnic region? Is there an LGBT community? Was it an industrial area that had a strong working class community, or is it a technology area with highly educated citizens? Have there been efforts to desegregate or plans in the future?

• In Chapter 1 and throughout the text, you have explored several sociological theoretical perspectives. Indicate which theoretical perspective best presents your analysis of your locality. Describe why you have chosen this theoretical perspective and ensure you include detail on which theorist’s work is most representative.

The Research Paper:

• Must be seven to nine double-spaced pages in length (excluding title and reference pages), and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
• Must include a title page with the following:
  • Title of paper
  • Student’s name
  • Course name and number
  • Instructor’s name
  • Date submitted
• Must begin with an introductory paragraph that has a succinct thesis statement.
• Must address the topic of the paper with critical thought.
• Must end with a conclusion that reaffirms your thesis.
• Must use at least five scholarly resources, including a minimum of two from the Ashford University Library.
• Must document all sources in APA style, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
• Must include a separate reference page, formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)

Develop a prevention campaign

o The prevention campaign requires two items

1) a visual representation of the campaign – for example, use of MS Powerpoint to create an electronic poster displaying the message of your ‘campaign’;

2) a brief (1-2 pages) description of the prevention campaign. This description must include the following information (found in textbook):

– The ‘Type of Prevention’ the campaign represents

• Examples include Primary/Universal; Secondary/Selective; Tertiary/Indicated and explanation of how your campaign fits this ‘type’.

– The ‘Target Population’ for the campaign

• Examples include High School students; College students; Current substance users; etc – all depends on who you want to focus prevention towards.

– The ‘Prevention Model’ that the campaign most closely follows

• Examples of ‘Prevention Models’ can be found in your textbook – include D.A.R.E.; Social Influence Model; Affective Education; etc.

– How you would ‘define effectiveness’ and how you would evaluate ‘effectiveness’ of the campaign

• Specifically, what would need to occur for you to be able to say your Prevention Campaign was effective and how would you go about evaluating this (will unlimited resources). For example, “I would know my prevention model was effective if there were no underage drinking tickets for college students each year’ ‘I would evaluate this by receiving a report from the college regarding the number of tickets given out during a given year’.

• Report on a Suggested Treatment Modality

o For this report (4-5 pages), students will research treatment modalities (at least 2) that are found to be most effective for the class of substances chosen for the project. For each treatment modality, students will provide:

– An in-depth overview based on the research:

• what is/are the treatment modalities

• What does research say about the effectiveness for the chosen class of substance

– Pros and Cons of the treatment modality

– Personal reaction

• how well or not well do you believe the treatment modality will be at effectively treating a client who abuses the ‘chosen class of substance’

o It is expected that you utilize the textbook and at least 3 other sources to cite as research (2 of which must be scholarly sources – not websites). Citations and References must by in APA format.

Military capabilities paper

Using the North Africa scenario found in the 2.13 Required Readings  nd background information found throughout Blocks 1-2 you are to recommend (and justify) in 3-4 pages:

(1) What capabilities each Service could provide that would be particularly effective in this crisis? (Why should one capability be selected over others?)

(2) In what order (considering deployment and sustainment restraints) would you bring in the capabilities given potential mission requirements? (Why?)

(3) What command and control structure would be best suited as the U.S. integrates with host nation and possible coalition partners?

In answering the above questions, you should consider the following:

· What limitations are there on employing your recommendations?

· Are there complementary capabilities between Services that contribute to greater overall effectiveness? For the capabilities each Service offers, what do they need from other Services to make them fully effective, or more effective?

· If more than one Service offers similar capabilities, are there reasons to prefer one rather than the other in this scenario?

· How does the maturity of the theater affect your choice of capabilities? How will you get them there, and how will you sustain them? Where can you base them, if needed?

· What risk does your recommendation carry?

· Are there redundant capabilities in your recommendations? If so, what are the implications?

· What are the limitations of what you can accomplish in the crisis?

· Does your choice of capabilities affect your ability to “disengage” if national policy so dictates?

· Would your recommendation change if you were expected to maintain a permanent presence in the local area? How would you change it?

· Are there potential coalition partners who might offer capabilities that enhance your recommendations?

· What are the potential operational command and control configurations that you might recommend?

Note: Do not address these points individually as you answer the question. Use them to analyze the situation and potential capability requirements and to justify/support your selection.

Comprehensive Exam Capstone PUBLIC ADMIN

Question 1

You are the recently appointed Budget Director of a nonprofit agency that provides assistance to the community. The Director has asked for your input on how to raise additional revenue for the Organization. You have narrowed your recommendation to two choices. One: A user fee for individuals who currently request assistance. These fees would be for individuals in predominately lower income areas and are currently without charge. Two: Plan a fundraiser dinner targeting a more affluent population including many politically influential individuals and several members of the state government. Considering all the budgetary, political, public, and ethical implications which option would you recommend and why? Be sure to cite to applicable theoretical and conceptual sources to support your line of recommendation.

Question 2

There are two final candidates for an entry-level position at a prestigious nonprofit organization with a reputation for ethical behavior. This successful nonprofit acts as a clearinghouse for child abuse prevention information and is largely funded by federal government grants and in turn provides services to state and local nonprofits and state and county child protection agencies. Job Candidate “Number One” is a marketing whiz with prior experience in sales but no experience in Public Administration. “Number One” has proposed that the non profit should aggressively seek donors and grants even if they involve projects outside their mission statement. He also advocates getting rid of older employees and hiring younger ones who are into social networking. The Job Candidate “Number Two” has significant field experience with a local child protection agency and has just graduated with a Masters in Public Administration from KU. This candidate advocates adherence to fiscal standards, providing public service, and utilizing benchmarking processes to achieve greater operating efficiency.

 

Identify the stakeholders in the non profit. Compare and contrast the two approaches of the job candidates in terms of Public Administration theory, application, ethics, and diversity, which candidate do you think is better for the non profit and why? What about the non profit’s client organizations; which candidate is in their best interest? Support your answer with applicable examples and sources from public administration and fiscal theory and best practices in leadership, human resources, diversity, and ethics.

This must be done in APA format i cannot stress that enoght each question needs 10-12 pages so that means there are 2 questions that equals (20-24) pages plus atleast 8 references for each question. THIS PAPER WILL BE REVIEWED BY MULTIPLE PERSONS that have PHD’s.

Barriers to small business internationalization

Discuss the key barriers to small business internationalization. What recommendations would you make to small businesses in overcoming these barriers? What challenges do you think small businesses would experience in implementing your ideas?

Social Empathy analysis

As discussed throughout this course, there are a number of theories underlying how policies are created, and how social values influence how policy decisions are made. One thing that should not be forgotten is that policies are created by human beings with their own sets of beliefs and experiences. Understanding this can help us, as social workers, to understand the values underlying policy decisions as well as how to advocate for policies that are in the best interest of the individuals and communities we serve.  Read the article “Social Empathy: A Model Built on Empathy, Contextual Understanding, and Social Responsibility that Promotes Social Justice” and Chapter 14 in the text.

Segal, E.A. (2011). Social empathy: A model built on empathy, contextual understanding, and social responsibility that promotes social justice. Journal of Social Service Research, 37, 266-277.

Reflecting on this article, write a 1-2 page paper that: (1) identifies what you see as the challenges policy-makers face in creating policies that impact the lives of everyday citizens, (2) outlines what you might propose to improve the policy-making process (3) describes how social workers can play a role in that process, and (4) what social empathy might mean in terms of creating social welfare policies and programs.
