Read CHAPTER 3 of the textbook: Analyzing Cultural Value Dimensions on pages 43-56. note that by me giving you only a few pages that you need to truly and deeply know and understand, will not be re-covering them in this lecture, expect you to ask any questions you have about the material, and will expect you to be able to identify, apply and give examples for this material assign.
discussion guideline – format: Think of this more as an essay or blog as opposed to a typical discussion post. usually include a suggested length in the discussion guidelines but in general, no less than 3 paragraphs should be written for each initial post. Make sure to address all sections and all prompts in your discussion post. And again remember, this is how am grading your learning and engagement with course material. Using short direct quotes from readings and/or videos, using class vocabulary and referencing class concepts will strengthen your post and your grade.

Week 5 discussion question file
This discussion will focus on meeting with your IB and talking about this week’s content with them. It will be fun and interesting (in my humble opinion – ha) to get to know everyone else’s IB and get to hear just a little bit about each of their experiences. You can explain concepts to them, you both could look through Hofstede’s country comparison website together (see lecture notes for details) or could even take some of the self-assessments found in Chapter 3 of your textbook. You can compare and contrast where you individually fall on the different dimensions and where the culture with which you identify falls.
For this post, pick at least 2 specific concepts from this week to discuss with your IB (or another person from a different culture if your IB is not available). Then in your discussion post, complete the following:
1. Tell us which country/culture your conversational partner was from
2. Tell us 2 of the concepts you discussed and how your partner/ their culture connects with each concept – you can also explain how you/your culture connects with each. Also provide at least 2 examples for each connection (e.g. high power distance because clan leaders make decisions for individual families). To clarify, there should be at least 4 specific examples explained in this section. Be specific and elaborate.
3. Provide at least 2 other insights that was brought to light through the discussion. It could be other interesting facts you learned about your IB/their culture that don’t directly relate to this week’s material, it could be questions that you now have that you are seeking answers to, it could be things you realized about yourself or your experiences through this meeting.
Write a response in APA format to the attached (haley discussion) incorporate a Biblical view and3 scholarly citations within the last 5 years.remember to cite the Bible used. have attached articles and the book used. ensure this is written to a doctoral level.
Select one of the group therapy video demonstrations from this week’s required media Learning Resources.
The Assignment
In a 3- to 4-page paper, identify the video you selected and address the following:
What group therapy techniques were demonstrated? How well do you believe these techniques were demonstrated?
What evidence from the literature supports the techniques demonstrated?
What did you notice that the therapist did well?
Explain something that you would have handled differently.
What is an insight that you gained from watching the therapist handle the group therapy?
Now imagine you are leading your own group session. How would you go about handling a difficult situation with a disruptive group member? How would you elicit participation in your group? What would you anticipate finding in the different phases of group therapy? What do you see as the benefits and challenges of group therapy?
Support your reasoning with at least three peer-reviewed, evidence-based sources, and explain why each of your supporting sources is considered scholarly. Attach the PDFs of your sources.
SWK 532 Intro to Outdoor Behavior Discussion Week 7 Discussion
Subject is social work and not psychology
1. Go the Outward Bound for Veterans page: (Links to an external site.). Check this site out a little bit. Watch the video and read and read the home page, including the comments by veteran participants, the “About” page, and the “Programs” page.
2. Look into Project Cohort: (Links to an external site.). Read a little about this program and watch the video at the bottom of the page.
What do you see in these programs in terms of a wilderness or nature component that seems potentially helpful or transformative for veterans? What is it specifically about veterans’ experiences in armed services that you think might make these kinds of therapeutic activities or programs beneficial? If you are a veteran or you know other veterans, what would you add to the conversation?
Discussion week 2: Classifications of Life-Span Development
When did you become an adult? Was it the day you graduated from high school? Or, was it the day you moved out of your parents’ or caregivers’ home? Your description of what it means to be an adult and how and when an adolescent transitions into adulthood may differ from that of your colleagues.
The authors of your course text, Zastrow, Kirst-Ashman, & Hessenauer, use the term young and middle adulthood to identify the life-span time period between age 18 and 65. This classification distinguishes this time in the life of an individual from childhood and adolescence and from the later years of adulthood.
Is the authors’ young and middle adulthood classification a useful one? What is especially useful and not useful about the classification? What changes would you make to the authors’ classification to make it more applicable to your role as a social worker?
For this Discussion, you analyze the author’s life-span classification and suggest ways to improve it.
A new classification (or possibly multiple classifications) to replace the authors’ young and middle adulthood classification
A definition of your new classification(s)
Support for your new classification(s). for example, this support may include references to theory and empirical research findings and should reflect the current understanding of biological, psychological, and social development
An implication your new classification might have regarding social work practice
Your HIM department is going to begin taking students as part of their Professional Practice Experience (PPE).
The HIM Director has asked you to create a short educational program on privacy, security, and confidentiality for the students to review before they start their PPE. Create a Power Point presentation of no more than 12 slides, covering the following elements:
· Differentiate between privacy, security and confidentiality
· Access to be based on minimum necessary standard
· Release of information requires authorization
· Use and protection of passwords and security codes
What ideas or phrases come to mind when you hear the term intelligence? Prior to the current emphasis on emotional and social intelligence, individuals tended to associate intelligence with one measurement: intelligence quotient or the IQ.
While the IQ focuses on intellectual abilities, emotional intelligence focuses on an individual’s awareness of his or her feelings and the feelings of others, and social intelligence focuses on an individual’s interpersonal skills (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2019, pp. 493-494).
To prepare for this Discussion, read “Working With People With Disabilities: The Case of Andres” on pages 28–31 in Social Work Case Studies: Foundation Year.
Consider what you have learned about social and emotional intelligence in this week’s resources as well as what you learn about the person and environment as it relates to young and middle adulthood.
By Day 3
Post a Discussion that includes the following:
Explain how social and emotional intelligence are related to cultural factors
Explain how you, as a social worker, might apply the concepts of emotional and/or social intelligence to the case of Andres
Explain how social workers, in general, might apply social and emotional intelligence to social work practice. (Include a specific example in the explanation.)
