Inequality
Im studying for my Writing class and need an explanation.
Getting Started
As a social worker, you are at the forefront of social consequences and social realities. Every day, social workers experience policies that promote human potential and social sustainability, but, unfortunately, they also encounter policies that increase the inequality that exists in society. In this assignment, you will explore how social workers can contribute to a reduction of economic and political inequality by addressing existing disadvantages that affect how people participate in society.
Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:
- Assess how social welfare and economic policies impact the delivery of and access to social services. (PO 5)

Resources
- Video: TED Talks: Rich BenjaminMy road trip through the whitest towns in America: https://www.ted.com/speakers/rich_benjamin.
Background Information
In the video, Rich Benjamin leads you through three different Whitopia communities. He uses humor to talk about issues that cause us great distress. He reveals how we can have racism without racists. Are we as racially and educationally segregated as it would appear? Do you think policy promotes this divide? As America became more and more multicultural, Benjamin noticed a phenomenon: some communities were actually getting less diverse. So he got out a map, found the whitest towns in the USAand moved in. In this funny, honest, human talk, he shares what he learned as a black man in Whitopia.

Respond to Patrick:
Intelligence-led Policing
Intelligence-led policing (ILP) is the concept of collecting information and analyzing the information to identify threats (Carter & Carter, 2009). Once the threats are identified, law enforcement can develop preparedness or response plans to mitigate or prevent the threat from occurring (Carter & Carter, 2009). ILP emerged from the new era of homeland security that came in the aftermath of 9/11. In the 2002 meeting of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, they recommended all levels of law enforcement adopt/develop an intelligence capacity (Carter & Carter, 2009). Intelligence has become the center of homeland security that influences the development of security/counterterrorism policies and military/ law enforcement operations both domestically and internationally.
Pros to ILP
Similarly to our discussion last week on community-led policing, local police officers are the ones out every day in the community and responding to various crimes and providing public safety. Police officers can provide first-hand information that they have witnessed and information provided to them by the community. Their involvement in the intelligence collection process is vital in preventing future acts of terrorism. The information they provide may appear mundane or irrelevant but analysis can potentially connect the dots. The intelligence analysis, provides the decision-maker with a timely and accurate understanding of criminal threats and the components of the operational environment (Alach, 2011, p.77). Advocates of ILP argue that the collected information can better identify threats which can influence policy decisions and allocation of resources (Alach, 2011). ILP also encourages the sharing of information which is a problem that has plagued law enforcement and intelligence agencies since inception (Carter & Carter, 2009).
Cons to ILP
ILP does not have a universally accepted definition across U.S. law enforcement agencies which effects how it is being implemented (Carter & Carter, 2009). Policing intelligence lacks a framework in which it can be defined and generally understood (Alach, 2011). The impact of 9/11 revitalized this practice across local police forces without knowing how effective it is and evidence to support its success (Alach, 2011). The concept is not new to police as they take action based upon available information everyday but the formal analysis process is not something they regularly utilize (Alach, 2011). Without a conceptual framework, police units would have to develop their own ILP standard operating procedures. Local police are tasked with responding to events happening in real time 24/7 and cannot be expected to analyze small pieces of information. This concept becomes more complex when made specific for terrorism and how law enforcement is to carry out their additional counterterrorism responsibilities.
Despite the misunderstanding of ILP, state and local law enforcement should develop a program that mirrors the intentions of ILP. Law enforcement naturally collects information in their daily duties and ILP frameworks look for a way to gather and analyze that information into intelligence reports. Analyzing information/intelligence reports for patterns and relevant information would require specific training and additional personnel. I dont believe community police officers have the time to dedicate to intelligence analysis.

Response Memo
Im studying for my Sociology class and dont understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?
1. David Labaree argues that the primary problem with American education is a political one in which education is increasingly defined as a private, rather than public good.
1a. Do you agree with Labaree’s general thesis?
1b. How does Labaree’s argument about education as a “private good” relate to Professor Arum’s discussion of Weber and social stratification?
1c. What questions would you ask that critically engage the reading?
2. The goals for schooling change based on the historical context. Evidence of this can be seen in Horace Mann’s “Twelfth Annual Report” to the Massachusetts Legislature (1848),and then in the change from the Committee of 10 Report in 1893 to the Cardinal Principles of Secondary Education in 1918.
What goals for public schooling are advocated in these primary sources?
How do these goals fit into Labaree’s framework for thinking about education as a public or private good?

Thesis paper reflecting from films and readings
I need an explanation for this Film question to help me study.
The paper is to be 8-10pages in length and may focus on film(s) from Nayagan onwards. You are welcome to address more than one film, but try to minimize summary and avoid mere comparison for the sake of comparing. The main focus should be your topic and how you are reading and analyzing the film in regards to said topic/thesis. The topic is up to you, be sure it is something you can form a strong thesis around which you can support with analysis and close reading of the film itself. Consider what’s something that struck you in any of these films and their readings that you would be interested in exploring more in depth… Further, I ask that you incorporate at least two outside sources (one must be from outside the class readings, while the other may be from the class readings or you may choose to use two outside sources). Don’t forget to include a properly formatted works cited page.

Week 8 Discussion: Leader-Member Exchange
I dont know how to handle this Health & Medical question and need guidance.
Good, professional relationships between leaders and subordinates may factor into an organizations success. For example, as a hospital director for a high-risk, neonatal unit, you may find that encouraging positive, professional relationships with subordinates from diverse backgrounds is important in maintaining employee efficiency and effectiveness. Your subordinates may also recognize a similar value in your professional relationship in order to receive direction, goal achievement, and/or rewards. Your leadership and relationship with subordinates has the potential to foster an interesting exchange between leader and subordinates. In the field of public health, an emphasis on good, professional relationships may assist your leadership success across diverse landscapes of public health problems.
This week, you examine two leadership perspectives: Leader-Member Exchange Theory as well as Social Network Theory. Think about how both theories may apply to public health leadership. You also continue to complete your Scholar-Practitioner Project: Public Health Leadership Theory with creation of a visual representation of your theory.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
- Analyze similarities and differences between Leader-Member Exchange with Social Network Theory
- Apply Leader-Member Exchange Theory to personal leadership theories
- Apply Social Network Theory to personal leadership models
- Apply public health concepts and perspectives to create visual representations of public health leadership theories
Learning Resources
Required Readings

- Chapter 3, The Foundations of Modern Leadership
Document: Scholar-Practitioner Project Overview (Word document)
Discussion: Building a Nest for Success: LeaderMember Exchange Theory and Social Network Theory
A Chinese proverb states, In a broken nest, there are few whole eggs (World of Quotes, 2011).
Within an organization, a broken professional relationship fosters more broken professional relationships to in turn damage the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization. For a leader, any crack or break in leadership may create future problems within the organization. With use of Leader-Member Exchange Theory and Social Network Theory, an effective leader may find that the creation of positive, professional relationships with subordinates is helpful in preventing breaks in relationships in order to guide an organization toward success.
For this Discussion, think about the similarities and differences between Leader-Exchange Theory and Social Network Theory. Consider how you might integrate each theory into your own personal, unified leadership theory. Think about how you might use this theory in a public health scenario.
Post a brief comparison (similarities and differences) between Leader-Member Exchange and Social Network Theory. Then, explain how you might integrate Leader-Member Exchange Theory and Social Network Theory into your personal, unified leadership theory. Finally, relate this personal, unified theory to a public health scenario with which you are familiar.

Patho Assignment 1 HW 2
I need support with this Nursing question so I can learn better.
Exercise
Charlie is a 3-year-old in a community preschool. The staff reports that he tends to put everything in his mouth and is frequently found eating dirt. A home visit by a school staff member to discuss the problems with his parents reveals a generally clean environment in a very old home that was being renovated. Recently, Charlie has been falling behind in academic skills compared with the other children in his class; his linear growth has slowed, and he is tired and irritable. His physician noted pallor and what look like pencil lines on the gums adjacent to his teeth. He ordered blood tests, which revealed a low hemoglobin level and an elevated lead level.
(Provide answers based on evidence and reference your responses using APA format)
* Based on the patient history, signs and symptoms, and lab test results, discuss the probable environmental factors responsible for Charlies ingestion of lead.
* Discuss the other toxic effects of lead poisoning that Charlie might experience if the situation is not addressed.
* Discuss other possible sources in childrens environments that have been identified as containing lead.

ECN written Assignment
Im stuck on a Economics question and need an explanation.
Read the above article about free cash flow. In your opinion is a company that has positive free cash flow necessarily “doing well” and one with negative free cash flow “doing poorly”? Provide some examples to support your opinion. The article also mentions that free cash flow is often very volatile during the year. Why might that be the case? Briefly explain. Finally article mentions that free cash flow is a better measure than earnings per share. Do you agree with that opinion? Why or why not. Earnings per share is profit of a company divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. For example if a company had $100,000 in profit and 5000 shares of stock then earnings per share would be $100,000/5,000 = $20 per share. You do not need to address all of these questions, they are just to give you some ideas to think about.
Your response must be 300 to 500 words. File must be uploaded as an MS Word document or pdf file.
Please feel free to use information from class or other sources (Google searches and reading information online, reading other articles, etc.)
