develop a communication tool to create awareness of the short- and long-term physiological dangers of substance addiction for this important-to-reach high-school

/in /by

Although many new nationally known programs are available aimed at preventing substance abuse and addictions, many people develop addictions every year. The tendency to develop addiction varies with different ages, cultures, and other factors. One population that is most at risk of developing addictions is the high-school-age population. Studies have shown that adolescents perceive themselves as invulnerable to poor health (Santrock, 2010). In addition, physical development is taking place that makes them more at risk for substance abuse. The amygdala, for example, which is more driven by primitive impulses, is in a state of transition. Young adults do not have fully developed prefrontal cortexes, which are responsible for delaying gratification, controlling impulses, planning, prioritizing, and focusing, until later adolescence (Perkinson, 2012). This week, you will develop a communication tool to create awareness of the short- and long-term physiological dangers of substance addiction for this important-to-reach high-school-age population.

To prepare for this Assignment:

· Review the article “Drug Facts: High School and Youth Trends”.

· Become familiar with some graphic tools that may aid you in preparation of your poster.

By Day 7

Submit a visually interesting poster for a high-school-age population that includes the following:

· Short- and long-term physiological effects of an addictive substance

· A slogan or paragraph that translates facts into a compelling message for this population

Be specific and draw on the required readings for this week in the creation of your poster.

Note:  Create your poster in whichever program works best for you, such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher (to create a PDF), or any open-source program you choose. You may also submit a photograph of your poster as a digital file, such as a jpeg or tiff file.

How does the organization fit into the community?

Your Organization Within the Community Context

This is a 500–750 word narrative paper supported with reputable sources that describe the human services organization you work for, or would like to work for as a human services leader, in the community identified in the assignment in Unit 2.

While you understand your role and function within the agency, a human services leader needs to extend that context of practice to understanding the organization within the community. The organization was started and continues to serve the community for a reason. The paper explores the reason and the relation of the organization and the community over time.

As you gather the content for this paper, consider these questions:

  • How does the organization fit into the community?
  • What is its mission and services?
  • How does it fit into the network of services?
  • What is its history with the community and specific groups?
  • How does it involve the community in decisions—board, advisory council, other?
  • What types of outreach does it do?
  • What is available on its Web site?

Note: Integrate these ideas into a cohesive narrative. Refrain from answering the questions like a take-home exam.

analyze how the notion of the moral good in utilitarianism leads to a unique approach to ethical problems

/in /by

Prepare: The initial post in this discussion must be informed by the required material for this discussion. Your preparation should focus on three classical ethical theories that are fundamental in any ethical analysis: utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics. Since the subject of your examination is the Starbucks case, make sure to view the relevant multimedia carefully with an eye toward the various ethical problems that this company has had to confront.

Reflect: Keep in mind that although the notion of the moral good will vary among ethical theories, they often produce the same or similar results. So you should focus on the differences in (a) the intent and (b) the consequences of the action under examination. In utilitarianism, for example, the consequences of the action are weightier than the intent. Accordingly, even if the intent was morally questionable, the action is nonetheless morally good if it achieves good consequences for most. The opposite would be the case if the action were being examined from a deontological point of view. These reflections will aid your selection of an ethical theory for your initial post, as well as your critical examinations of the analysis from fellow students.

Write: Start your initial post by identifying two characteristics of utilitarianism, two characteristics of virtue ethics, and two characteristics of deontology. Organize this part of your post so that it is clear which characteristics belong to which ethical theory. You can do this by means of subtitles, or by presenting a table. You should aim to write one complete and clear sentence for each characteristic rather than just one or a few words.

Then, take the position that Starbucks is guided by utilitarianism and analyze how the notion of the moral good in utilitarianism leads to a unique approach to ethical problems. The way to do this is as follows:

  • First, present an ethical problem confronted by Starbucks. You can choose one such ethical problem from the video.
  • Then, apply the characteristics of utilitarianism that you identified for this discussion in the attempt to solve this problem.
  • After this, analyze how the notion of the moral good present in utilitarianism, and the characteristics that you identified in particular, shape the approach to solving this problem.

Revise: This is your chance to correct any oversights or errors in your initial post, or show your improved understanding of the ethical theories and their applications. Start by reading the feedback provided by your professor to your initial post, either directly to you or to your fellow students. Use this as an opportunity to learn from your professor, especially with regard to the best ways to apply the course material and your research to your analysis. On the basis of what you have learned in this process, post an improved revision of your initial post that applies the additional knowledge that you have gained.

Remember that your grade depends on the quality of your initial and revised responses, not just on the submission of an attempt at improvement. It is thus to your advantage to post the best initial post you can and then to also improve that best effort as much as you can through revision. Taking this process seriously will help you develop the skills you need to do well on the final project.

Requirements for Your Initial Post:

  • Your initial post should be at least 400 words in lengthand have citations and references in APA notation. It should address the prompt in its entirety. This means that you should not split your response to the prompt in multiple posts. Your examination should be both thorough and succinct. This is a combination that demands time and thought, so give yourself sufficient time to draft and revise.
  • Please be advised that until you post, you will not see what your fellow students are posting. Once you submit your post, you will be able to view the posts from your other classmates. You can then proceed to reply to at least two different threads based on the required material for this discussion on virtue ethics and deontology.
  • Your list of references for your initial post should include the video and the other required material for this discussion, including Section 1.3 of the textbook on Starbucks, as well as the Instructor Guidance and any other announcements presented to you by your professor. Use all of the material presented to you in the course and by your professor, in addition to any other sources that you consulted to inform yourself about Starbucks (but not Wikipedia or similar sources).

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using Family Development theory and Family Genogram to viewing and understanding family life:

/in /by

Guidelines for Family Genogram

The purpose of this assignment is to apply course-related concepts to real life situations, and to better understand your own family dynamics, and potentially, that of the people you will be working with as a human service professional. This assignment is worth 50 points.

Your genogram consists of two parts:

(1) Physical graphic depiction of your family (25 points)

a. You can do this on a regular 8 X 11 sheet of paper, highlighters, construction paper, markers, etc. You do not need to buy a large presentation board, any special computer program, or any fancy materials.

(2) Written portion (25 points)

Graphic Depiction:

· Members of at least three generations (if you have children, you may choose to include four generations).

· Members gender, age, generational position, and ethnic/religious background.

· Significant events: year of marriage, separation, divorce, death.

As you draw your Family Genogram, expect to make a few tries on smaller sheets of paper before you draw it on a large piece of paper. You may want to use different colors to make distinctions between generation or blood lines. Feel free to do this in any way that helps you see your family more clearly. As you will discover, Genogram allows to succinctly display a lot of information. And, most importantly, you will gain a whole new sense of your family.

Written Portion: (2 pages total) should not include the story of your life, how mom and dad met, or describe family history and traditions. Simply and succinctly answer the following questions only:

· Describe the characteristics of each generation based on the Family Life Course perspective:

· Identify and name the stage of the Family Life Course (or a transition between stages) each generation of your family is in at the moment (5 points)

· Specify basic developmental tasks that each member/generation of your family has to accomplish/ is in the process of accomplishing (10 points)

· What are the advantages and disadvantages of using Family Development theory and Family Genogram to viewing and understanding family life: (5 points)

· Have you learned anything new about your family? How was your perception of your family changed in the process of working on this exercise? This is where you should point out how your family compares research findings we have discussed in class (family size, age of stage transitions, etc.) (5 points)

The Psychological Impact of Cyberbullying on Adolescents

In today’s Internet age where an online presence is as important to the individual as their offline activities and life, the threat or dangers posed by activities such as cyberbullying are increasingly becoming an international public health concern, especially as this vice affects the development of adolescents. The victimization arising from cyberbullying can be so intense as to result in depressive symptoms in adolescents and even suicide attempts.

Indeed, those adolescents prone to cyberbullying are also susceptible to school bullying, and these victims will often have lower school performance and school attachment. There is need, therefore, to examine in detail the psychological impact that cyberbullying has on adolescents and their mental health, as well as various suggestions for therapy for affected victims.
