The U.S. teen birthrate is the highest in the developed world.  There are no federal laws in the U.S. that require sexual health education in schools like, for example, in France and Australia that have much lower rates of teen pregnancy.  Should sex education be mandatory in the U.S. public school system? Why or why not? In what grade should sex education start? Why?Purpose: A goal of our course is to analyze the complexity of social issues . This week, education and the economy were explored. In order to understand more about education (which in turn affects many other systems, such as the economy, healthcare, etc.), you will participate on a discussion board regarding sex education.After completing this assignment, you should be able to create a thorough dialogue that supports your belief about whether sex education should be mandatory in the US public school system.

(2) Were the questions answered accurately in the initial post? (3) Were there references that were utilized and cited? (4) Did the responses meet length requirements?

To help reduce negative stereotypes and stigma surrounding the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Canada, what is the most important factor (or factors), the general public needs to understand the disproportionate rates of HIV/AIDS infections among Indigenous peoples.

please read and post a JOINT response to the following articles (see Files), using the essay prompt and other tips given below:Haley & Davis, “The Logic of Evangelical Christianity”Clayton Crockett, “Jeb Stuart’s Revenge”ESSAY PROMPT:  The authors of these two articles are Christian philosophers who have written widely on contemporary politics and religion, and are experts on right-wing Christianity. Both articles are highly interconnected and were published in 2008 as a response to the burgeoning anti-Liberal movement that eventually came to be known as the “Tea Party” which spearheaded the right-wing support base for the Republican party and the Bush administration’s War in the Middle East. You need to read the Haley/Davis article as a prep for the Crockett article. Together, both articles give us an insight into how an alliance between Evangelicals and “Tea Party” activists led to the rise of what many scholars are calling “American Fascism” (William Connolly 2017; Chris Hedges 2006). The role of Evangelicalism, which the scholar Mark C. Taylor refers to as “radical Christianity” (After God: 2008). is crucial to this.For your response you need to quickly identify the “logic of Evangelical Christianity”, and then apply your understanding of this logic to explain how this feeds into the rise of what Crockett calls “American Fascism”.  This should then lead you to try and conclude by making an attempt to address the following question: What aspects of this movement did Trump harness to win the 2016 election? And at the end please ask a question about the reading

Part ISelect one of the two ethical dilemmas below (vignettes 1 & 2). In addition, please provide a description of an ethical dilemma (value conflict) you have experienced or observed in your field placement.Vignette #1 You are a supervisor in a child welfare agency. Recently one of your supervisees has become depressed following the separation from his wife of 10 years. You feel that his personal problems have not affected his work, but you notice that your supervisory sessions have been more focused on issues regarding the separation, i.e., stormy battles with his ex-wife, plans for joint custody of the children and his search for a new apartment.He has also shared with you that his separation is particularly traumatic for him as it reminds him of when his parents separated when he was 10 years old. You have had several lunches with him to discuss his problems. You notice that microwaves are on sale at a local department store and you are thinking of buying one for him as a housewarming gift and taking it to him in his new apartment to acknowledge his bachelor state.Vignette #2In conducting an intake interview with a client in a family agency, you observe that both of her young children are withdrawn. Further, one of the children is badly bruised, and the other, an infant, appears malnourished. Throughout the interview, the client seems defensive and suspicious and also ambivalent about having come for an interview. At one point, she states that she feels overwhelmed with her parenting responsibilities and is having difficulty in coping with her children. She also alludes to her fear that she may hurt them but then abruptly changes the subject. As you encourage her to return to discussion of her problems with the children, your client says she has changed her mind about wanting help, takes her children in hand, and leaves the office.For both of these (one vignette you choose and your own example), please answer the following questions:Describe your understanding of the ethical problem you have selected. Why is it a dilemma? What value conflicts are involved? (Cite literature to support your observations and discussion).Indicate how you would address this dilemma, i.e., what you would do (say to the client or others or not say or do) and explain the ethical rationale you would use to support your intervention or no intervention (Cite literature that gives rationale to your decision).3. What is the “best practice approach” in these case situations? Does the best practice approach and ethical approach differ? If so, please explain why, or why not.(Cite literature to support your practice approach). Part IIIn thinking about your current and/or last year’s field placement, how has the supervisory style and skills of your field instructor(s) influenced your learning process and practice. What was your role in the supervisory relationship? What have you learned from your experience/or not learned in supervision that will inform your thinking and behavior as a future supervisor (positive or negative, or both).In answering this question, consider issues of authority, parallel process, dependency, privilege, autonomy, splitting, boundaries, manipulation, control, power, and differences and similarities between you and your field instructor (e.g., age, gender, race, ethnicity, class, and sexual orientation). Be sure to refer to specific readings.the current placement is at a high school try to relate that with part 2 as much as possible.

This is where you upload your two-page, double spaced, essay on Christology. These are not research papers in the sense you have to read extra, use the library, and the like. They are designed to help you think through a particular area of theology that is controversial, contemporary, or practical. The question you should attempt to answer in this essay is:What is the relevance of Christ–a first century middle eastern Jew–to the problems of today, which are addressed in different ways by feminists, black theologians, liberation theologians, and others (you may focus on one such theological movement if you choose).

How might the Enneagram assist you in current and future leadership positions.  Be specific with how the tool can influence you, and then how that influence will impact those you lead. This could be as a teacher, strength coach, physiotherapist, athletic coach, parent, etc.

As a social worker, often you need to use your policy advocacy skills to ensure that your clients are receiving the services that they need. Although you may tend to think of policy advocacy skills as separate from your clinical social work skills, they are very similar. Think of the skills that you would use in working with a client such as Jake Levy. How could you apply these skills to policy advocacy? How will you use these skills to identify the policy and social problems that are impacting these families? In this week’s Discussion, you will continue to follow the Levy, Bradley, Petrakis, and Cortez families to start the process of policy advocacy.In this Discussion, select one of the four integrated videos and identify the problems experienced by the client(s). For this discussion, I chose the Tiffani Bradley video since you are already familiar with it.Post your responses to the following:*Who is defining the problem?*What values are reflected in this definition of the problem?*What is being omitted in this definition?*What other problems do you see that are not being acknowledged?Book reference for the week: Jansson, B. S. (2018). Becoming an effective policy advocate: From policy practice to social justice. (8th ed.). Pacific Grove, CA: Brooks/Cole Cengage Learning Series.Chapter 7, “Analyzing Problems in the First Step of Policy Analysis” (pp. 204-243)Another useful resource: subheadings and I will upload the 2 colleague posts for you to respond to as I receive them.
