Paper should be between 3-4 pages, not counting reference page. APA format expected. *please watch / refer to links listed in blue  Prompt 2: Gender and Gender Inequality The text presents a dark narrative about sexual harassment and violence against women, due in part to the consequences of gender socialization. One of the agents that teaches us about gender is the mass media, and a long recognized critique of the media concerns its images of men and women: stereotypical at best, over-sexualized at worst. Documentaries about advertising ( Killing Us Softly TED Talk ) and the music industry ( Dreamworlds 3 trailer ) point out some of the more egregious examples of sexism, and suggest there is a link between these presentations of gender and the sexual violence found in our society. However, there is a growing list of female actors and musicians who are rejecting the culture that normalized these images. The Me Too Movement has both toppled powerful men and subtly changed gender dynamics. Musicians such as Nicki Minaj, Lizzo, Cardi B, and Rihanna (among others) present women as powerful and in control. One result has been that society is reconsidering previous messages about gender relations. Movies once seen as classics, such as 1984’s 16 Candles, is now viewed as illustration of the rape culture of the 1980’s ( Disturbing Things in 16 Candles Only Adults Notice ). Beloved Christmas songs are seen differently, with some artists going so far as to rewrite the lyrics to make them more palatable for today’s audiences ( Baby its Cold Outside – John Legend and Kelly Clarkson ). And a recent Grease sing-along that aired in June 2020 had a lot of people commenting they did not realize how dirty the lyrics are in “Greased Lightening” or “Summer Nights.” (Note that Grease was written in 1971, famously filmed in 1978.) For your paper, investigate this topic further. Has society changed? Do you see evidence that gender socialization is viewed differently in the media? What about sexual harassment, or sexual violence? Be specific and include current examples from music, movies, social media, the news, or other sources that depict male/female interaction that supports your perspective.  And in a broader way, do you think the structural functionalist perspective or conflict theory best describes gender dynamics in society today? Why?

Apply one theoretical perspective we have covered this semester to one type of crime we have covered, for example, white collar crime, victimless crimes, crimes against persons, etc. The goal is to help our understanding of this crime by explaining it through a theory we have covered.   Here are four key points your paper must address: ? Specify one type of crime this paper is going to address (for example, white-collar crime, violent crime, drug crime, and so forth). Justify your choice to focus upon this type of crime.  ? Consult at least one online database(s) that provides specific statistical information about the incidence of this crime. You will want to be as specific here as possible. For example, if your paper focuses upon drug-related crimes, you will want to provide some statistical information about who commits these types of crimes, how often are they convicted, jail sentences, and so forth. Inserting a table into this paper will come in handy! Here are some good sites, but there are many more! References: Five, scholarly—all must be cited in the text of the paper https://www.ucrdatatool.gov/ https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=dcdetail&iid=245 https://www.unodc.org/documents/data-and-analysis/Crime-statistics/International_Statistics_on_Crime_and_Justice.pdf

Social movements like #BlackLivesMatter, which in part is working to call attention to race based issues, particularly in relation to the criminal justice system, are gaining increasing visibility. Because people are becoming more aware of these social movements, do you think color-blindness will diminish in our society? Why or why not?

Review the articles by Gabel (2012) and Raney (2014), which are required readings for this week. In your initial post, respond to the following questions: What is demoralization and why does Raney assert that clinical leaders should attend carefully to the morale of their clinical subordinates and colleagues? In what ways might Raney’s findings regarding the integration of mindfulness and adaptive leadership positively impact leaders interested in reducing demoralization in human services organizations?

Assignment (5-7 double-spaced pages, APA format). In addition to a minimum of eight scholarly references, which may include electronic government documents and reputable websites, your paper should include: A description of the current policy approach for addressing the social issue you selected A description of the current policy goals for addressing the social issue you selected A description of the population the current policy approach covers An explanation of the funding levels for the current policy approach and whether they are sufficient to address the issue An explanation of how this policy may affect at-risk, marginalized, underrepresented, overlooked, or oppressed populations. Identify a specific at-risk population. An analysis of whether or not the policy meets the needs of the population groups most affected by the policy. Recommendations for alternative policies that would address the gaps identified in the policy. Please be specific in recommendations.
