In assignment 1 , you are asked to research current news articles in reputable online or print news media sources. Your research goal is to find an important issue facing Canadian society currently. You can use one of the issues discussed in the wiki last week. Once you have found a reputable media source, you are to complete the tasks below that will help you learn to be an analytic reader.This assignment relates to the following Course Learning Requirements:• CLR1: Identify current issues in Canadian society.• CLR2: Distinguish between fact and opinion as they are expressed in a variety of viewpoints.Taskpaste or enter the information listed below:1. Cite the article you are using in proper APA format. You can find out how to do this here: LINK to OWL APA Electronic Sources2. Restate the issue concisely in your own words. (one sentence)3. State the conclusion the article has arrived at with regard to the issue (one sentence)4. List the reasons the author gives to support that conclusion (use a bullet list)GradingAs the instructor cannot read over every article students select in detail, this is more of a participation-based exercise than a direct evaluation of your skill in analyzing the media and distilling articles into argument. You will be given full marks if you complete all four tasks and do so in clear, concise, and correct English. One mark will be deducted for every spelling, grammar or content error (e.g. the citation not being properly done). You may also lose marks for not completing the tasks correctly (e.g. if you list what is clearly a reason as the conclusion).

You are the finance manager in a long term care facility that is struggling to remain solvent. The facility’s administrator has hired a consultant to work with you to increase Medicaid reimbursement. The consultant recommends that you be more “liberal” in coding the severity of residents’ needs to justify greater reimbursement. The consultant tells you, “everybody does it” and, “it’s an undetectable way to boost revenue”.You believe this approach is somewhere between inappropriate and illegal. You know the consultant is being paid on a commission and is an old college buddy of the facility administrator. You also recognize that your facility could soon go out of business and leave you without a job.In a two page paper, respond to the following:What are your ethical challenges?What are your options?What is your chosen course of action?What will probably happen as a result of this course of action?Requirements:2-3 pages in length (not including cover and reference pages)A minimum of three outside resources (one of these resources can be your textbook)Your paper should be formatted according to APA, include a proper introduction, appropriate headings, and conclusion.

There are many career choices within the veterinary profession. What are your future career goals and why? In what ways do veterinarians contribute to society and what do you hope to contribute? Consider the breadth of society which veterinarians serve. What attributes do you believe are essential to be successful within the veterinary profession? Of these attributes, which do you possess and how have you demonstrated these in the past?

When working with families and groups the priority is for the social worker to understand the process that is taking place. In both situations there is the overt (clearly stated) dynamics and the covert (hidden) dynamics. The content (what is being said) in both settings is what is open and stated. The process (how it is being said) is the unspoken information; what is underneath the interaction is what the social worker needs to explore in both groups and family systems.For this Discussion, watch the video segments of a group and a family session provided in required resources.Provide a 300-word Discussion Post covering the following Topics, Content, and Headings:Describe the group dynamic (communication, cohesion, social integration, influence) of the group shown in the required media.Explain how this group’s dynamics may influence treatment.A description of the family dynamic (communication, cohesion, social integration, influence) of the family shown in the required media.Explain how this family’s dynamics may influence treatment.Explain any similarities or differences when assessing dynamics in a group versus a family and how those dynamics may affect treatment.Must contain at least 3 references and citations from the following resources. Must reference Toseland, Drumm, and Psychotherapy.net 2011a and 2006a.

1.Analyzing StereotypesCulture is a small word that carries a lot of meaning. Unfortunately, the word is often conflated with other terms and misused. Most often, the terms culture, race, and ethnicity are used interchangeably although they are actually three distinct concepts that have some overlap. In this unit, you will learn about the differences among race, ethnicity, and culture.In this section, you will be reviewing various isms, including sexism, heterosexism, anti-Semitism, and racism. However, before delving into those specific concepts, you will review the overarching “social phenomena that fuel them” (Carter, 2015, p. 28). Your text indicates that bias, prejudice, discrimination, and stereotypes maintain the presence of isms in our social environment. In this discussion, you will discuss stereotypes and how they affect people. You will also create a research proposal aimed at studying stereotypes.InstructionsIdentify two stereotypes, each related to a different cultural group within Hays’s ADDRESSING Model. For example, you may identify a gender-based stereotype and a stereotype based on a different culture.Compare and contrast the stereotypes and their effects on the subjects of the stereotypes.Next, describe a design for a research study related to your specialization that investigates stereotypes. You may investigate anything related to stereotypes, such as the emotional impact of stereotyping on Asian Americans.Carter, L. D. (2015). Reflecting humanity: Biological, psychological, and sociological perspectives (2nd ed.). Dubuque, IA: Kendall Hunt.Explain, briefly, what your research study plans to investigate and why it is important.What ethical standards apply to your research?How will you recruit participants?What types of research biases will you want to avoid in your study?At least at least 350 words.2.Researching StereotypesStereotypes, like bias, are a social phenomenon that fuels isms. Every culture has stereotypes.Part of understanding stereotypes more deeply requires us to answer such questions as “How are stereotypes formed?” “What attitudes, beliefs, or experiences maintain stereotypes?” and “How are stereotypes changed?” That is where research comes in. Unfortunately, it is hard to research a topic when research participants do not want to admit that they hold stereotypes, let alone use them to make life decisions.For this section, you will address religious stereotypes and create a research study that investigates those stereotypes within a religious culture of your choice. Finally, you will evaluate how cultural and research biases will affect your study.InstructionsYour response will have two parts. First, complete the following:Identify two stereotypes about a specific religion or faith.Compare and contrast the stereotypes and their effects on the subjects of the stereotypes.Next, describe a design for a research study related to your specialization that investigates an issue related to a stereotype or is counter to a stereotype. You may investigate anything related to the faith or religion, and stereotypes. For example, if you were a chemical dependency counselor, you might investigate alcoholism in Jewish Americans.Explain, briefly, what your research study plans to investigate and why this is important.Articulate the cultural biases that may surface in your research and how you will manage or avoid them.Explain how will you recruit participants.Discern the types of research biases you will want to avoid in the study.At least at least 350 words.

The Importance of Remaining Self-Aware in Groups Next week you will learn about group facilitation, so it is important to reflect on self-awareness broadly, and specifically in group settings. Reflect on your level of self-awareness and on the character and nature of your self-awareness. How has your self-awareness informed and influenced what you have learned in this course so far? What can you do to improve in this area? Share your reflections and ideas in a journal entry consisting of 400-600 words.Point Value: 4 Points Weekly Learning Outcome Alignment: 2, 3 Course Learning Outcome Alignment: 1, 3, 4, 5 For more information on Self-Aware read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-aware

Every day we engage in arguments. This is another instance where defining our words is important. When we talk about critical thinking, the “arguments” we refer to are not the conflicts or squabbles we have with others in daily interactions. In critical thinking, arguments are acts of persuading others about the value of an action or point of view. Whether we want to convince someone to join our view, or they want us to agree with them, the exchange, or argument, is a place where the use of critical thinking is beneficial. After completing the Learning Activities for the week, please respond to all the questions below. Your response should be a minimum of 175 words total (approx. 50 words per question). Describe two factors we should consider when evaluating an argument (discussed in Ch. 6 of Think: Critical Thinking and Logic Skills for Everyday Life.) Why are they important? After reading Ch. 7 and 8 in THiNK: Critical Thinking and Logic Skills for Everyday Life, how would you describe, in your own words, the differences between inductive and deductive arguments? Reflect on the learning activities, concepts, ideas, and topics covered this week. What is the most interesting activity or concept you learned this week? Mention any concepts that are still a bit confusing to you or that you have questions on. For more information on Logic Skills read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic?wprov=srpw1_0
