In what special fields of social work do you have an interest? If you trained for or worked in another field, why are you proposing to get a social work degree? III. Life Experiences Related to Social Work Social work requires working with people of diversified backgrounds with varied problems and the capacity for understanding and helping people. What experiences have you had in working with people of diversified backgrounds and how would these experiences help you work with people of diversified backgrounds? In what other ways have your experiences contributed to your interest in social work? Describe experiences in family relationships, group relationships, work, volunteer, recreational activities, etc., which you think affect your potential for social work. What are your strengths, as you perceive them, which you think will stand you in good stead as a social worker? What professional areas do you target for growth as you engage in social work? IV. Graduate School Readiness Graduate School is time-consuming and academically challenging. How do you plan to balance the demands of your personal life with the academic demands of graduate school? All MSW programs require experiential learning through field education courses that take place in an agency setting as an integral part of social work education. Due to the experiential nature and supervision requirements, field education courses will be completed in an agency setting during normal business hours to provide an opportunity to develop competencies in areas prescribed by the Council on Social Work Education educational standards (evenings and weekends are the exceptions). This is often challenging for part-time, online students or students trying to work full-time. Please describe your plan to be available to intern in the agency during normal business hours to ensure the field is a successful part of your educational experience.

There are some reactions written and I want that they must be written accurately. Also, if you can add some diagrams if possible where they have asked and the answers should be written in the simplest language as possible. It will be really helpful for me. Thanks for your help……………………..

Complete the Social Identity Questionnaire and ask someone from a different cultural background to do the same. Write a 2–to 3-page paper comparing and contrasting your responses to the questionnaire. Social identity theory (SIT) is based on social psychologist Henry Tajfel’s view that a person’s self-concept is based in part on group membership. The premise of SIT is that individual identities develop in the context of social groups of people with similar characteristics who typically share a sense of unity. A related concept is a social category, which is a group of people who may not interact but who share similar characteristics. The creation of group identities can result in “in-group” and “out-group” categorizations, with a tendency to view one’s own group positively. SHOW LESS This assessment requires you to compare aspects of your social identity to those of someone from a different cultural background to gain insights on how social identity can shape personal worldview, experiences, attitudes, and behavior. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: Describe the effects of culture, ethnicity, and diversity on the human experience. Describe personal and interviewee responses to the Social Identity Questionnaire. Analyze psychological research findings related to culture, ethnicity, and diversity. Identify possible explanations for the similarities and differences in responses, applying psychological theories or research. Apply psychological theories to issues affecting culture, ethnicity, and diversity. Analyze ways to enhance personal cultural competency. Support analysis by applying psychological theories or research. Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for professionals in the field of psychology. Cite scholarly evidence correctly according to current APA guidelines. Write in a manner that is scholarly, clear, and free of grammatical, spelling, and APA formatting errors. Reference Tajfel, H. (1978). The achievement of inter-group differentiation. In H. Tajfel (Ed.), Differentiation between social groups (pp. 77–100). London, England: Academic Press.

Sustainability in agriculture is a combination of producing adequate amounts of food for a growing population and reducing food waste. In this discussion, we will work as a class to understand more about sustainable agriculture, and the role of science and innovation in the pursuit of this goal. Here is what you need to do. For your main post (due by Friday) Select one of the three Topic Options below, and view the associated video. Option 1 – Genetically Modified Organisms GMOs Option 2 – Organic Foods Option 3 – Food Waste https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/almost-half-americas-food-go-waste In a detailed paragraph, explain why you chose the topic you selected, and what you knew about this topic before doing this assignment. In a detailed paragraph, summarize what you learned about your selected topic from the video. How does this differ from your previous knowledge about the topic? In a detailed paragraph, specify if you agree with what you learned on your selected topic. Explain why or why not. If you do not agree with what you saw, share a resource that supports your perspective on the topic.

Conduct a database search for a quasi-experimental study that pertains to professions in the healthcare or business field. > Examine the study and describe how the study is similar to an experimental study. >What confounds, if any, did you identify? >Describe any threats to internal or external validity you identified. >Discuss whether pre-experimental designs were part of the overall research design. Assuming that the study consisted of measures that were both reliable and valid, what are some implications of this research for individuals in healthcare and/or business?

Your job is to critique/challenge these research journal articles. Critique the scientific evidence/results, there is an attached “cheat sheet” in which you can refer to on what to critique. The terms (in cheat sheet) may seem confusing to someone without a science background otherwise should be easy to understand if you search the meaning of those scientific terms; variables, external validity etc. These are the links provided to the journal articles you have to critique. (You don’t need to critique all of them, as long as you have about 275 words then should be fine.) – – – https://journals.sagepub.com/action/cookieAbsent – https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S174868151830250X – https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1748681517304709 – https://europepmc.org/article/pmc/pmc7209878

Think about the practical skills you can acquire from a research and design class. How do you think the skills acquired in this class will help you in other areas of your life? Why is it important for members of our society to have some knowledge of research methods? You will investigate one topic for the entire duration of this course. What is your topic? What are the leading methods of research techniques taken up by the investigators in your area of interest? Select three investigators in this field and using the South University Online Library, identify the research techniques taken up by each; give an example of when each investigator used each technique. Which among these is the most common method? Why do you think this method is commonly used? How could you incorporate it into your research? Which method is the most cost and time-efficient? Explain your reasoning. Considering that you had to back up a government institution’s research project, which method would you select, keep in mind that the monetary involvement is rigid and budgeted? Also, describe the various flaws in all the methods you described.
