  1. Select one of the texts and explain why you have chosen it as most representative of the religious system;
  2. Address the reasons why the other two readings were not, in your assessment, as representative. You MAY NOT use outside sources to make your case.  Limit yourself to the text itself, your lecture notes and your textbook.

Formulate reflective essay responsesPreview the document and use textual citations to defend your assertions.

Do not summarize unless necessary to make a point. (I have read these texts…many times.)

Piedra and Engstrom (2009) noted how the life model “remains general  and unspecific regarding factors that affect immigrant families” (p.  272). Recall that there will never be one theory  or a model that can fully explain a phenomenon or lay out all the steps  and procedures when working with complex issues that clients present to  social workers. Recognizing this, Piedra and Engstrom selected another  theory in the immigration literature—segmented assimilation theory. They  identified concepts from segmented assimilation theory to “fill in” the  gaps that the life model does not address.

 

In this Discussion, you examine gaps in the life model by applying it to your field experience.

 

To prepare:

 

  • Review the life model.
  • Review this article in the Learning Resources: Piedra, L.  M., & Engstrom, D. W. (2009). Segmented assimilation theory and the  life model: An integrated approach to understanding immigrants and  their children. Social Work, 54(3), 270–277.  http://dx.doi.org.ezp.waldenulibrary.org/sw/54.3.270

 

By Day 3

 

Post:

 

Using an example from your fieldwork experience and a  diverse population you encountered at the agency (for example, in Piedra  and Engstrom’s article, it was immigrant families), respond to the  following:

 

  1. Identify and describe the diverse population and the  unique characteristics and/or the distinctive needs of the population in  3 to 4 brief sentences.
  2. Explain how the life model can be applied for the population.
  3. Explain where the gaps are in applying the life model for this population.
  4. When looking at the gaps, explain which theory might be helpful in filling the gaps of the life model when working with this population.
  5. Identify other potential gaps in the life model as applied to the population your colleague identified.
  6. Offer another potential theory for filling the gaps of the life model when working with the population identified.

 

Support your posts with specific references to the Learning Resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

One standard that corporations use to evaluate their performance against their competitors is the set of rankings developed by Fortune magazine. These include the Fortune 500, the 100 Best Companies to Work For, and other lists. The public also uses these rankings to decide to what companies they should give their business.

Throughout the semester we have explored the many ways photography has been used to document and examine the world.  Please watch the following TED Talk.

Johnathan  Klein: Photos that changed the world

13 Photographs that changed the world:

Read the blog article, Thirteen Photographs That Changed the World – The author compiles a list that decidedly
favors photojournalistic approaches over fine art. The list has been hotly debated, with critics often citing
additional images that they feel should have been included in the list. 

After reading the article and watching the TED Talk you are going to create your own exhibit of Ten influential photographs that you believe can impact and perhaps change the world, they cannot be from the textbook or the power points.   You may want to consider a theme for your exhibition (think of the Family of Man exhibit).  The theme can be anything you want it to be that you believe to be thought provoking and powerful.  Some examples are the racial tensions, Ferguson, MO. and the Black Lives Matter movement, the Syrian refugee crisis, global warming, sporting events such as the Invictus Games,  LGBT issues, effects of social media, to name a few.  There is no right or wrong choice here, just whatever you find to be compelling and provocative.   There should be a cohesiveness to your exhibition. 

You are going to create your exhibition using Power Point.  (contact me if you do not have access to Power Point)  You will be including each image on a separate slide.

For the text part of the exhibit (think of a museum label) Include the photographer’s name, title and date of the photograph, and where you located them.  You may want to search for your images using the references I have provided for you in the introductory module, or search by event, topic, artists, museum collection, Library of Congress, George Eastman House, The History Place, etc.  You may use the Internet to find your images.  Please cite your sources using MLA format.

Consider what you personally believe to be powerful, inspirational and influential about these photographs and explain in 1-2 paragraphs per image why the image is important and part of the exhibition.  Do not use personal pronouns.  For example:  Do not say “I chose this image because…” You can explain why the image is included in the exhibit without using personal pronouns.  This is considered to be the “research paper” portion of the assignment. 

You can include the image and the text box on the same slide or the text can follow the image on a separate slide.  Be aware of the flow of your exhibition.  If we were walking through an actual museum exhibition, such as the Family of Man, what image would you want the audience to see first and what would you want them to see last?  Be creative with the font and background color to support the theme of the exhibition.  Have fun with it, you are the curator.   Please ask any questions about the exhibit assignment in the Exhibit Q&A.
