Discussion1

Understanding Social Change

  • Understanding Social Change
  • As Weinstein explains in our text on Social Change, our contemporary understanding regarding social change is that it may be intentional or it may be unintentional. In other words, individuals or social movements can intentionally cause social change (either progressive or regressive). It is equally true that unintended changes in society can result from environmental changes, migrations of people responding to war, climate change, cultural clashes, and urbanization.
  • Drawing from your readings, discuss one example of intended or unintended progressive social change and one example of intended or unintended regressive social change.
  • In light of the probability that there will always be proponents of change as well as persons seeking to maintain the status quo, discuss how human services professionals may play a role in advancing progressive social change or regressive social change.

Learning Components

This activity will help you achieve the following learning components:

  • Differentiate between progressive and regressive social change.

Discussion2

Public Policy and Response to Social Change

Discuss three models for the development of public policy (public choice, group theory, and elite theory) and the suitability of each model for human services. Recognizing that community opinion, informed small groups, or the political elite may be the dominant source of social problem identification, make a judgement about the best source on which to rely, depending on the subject matter. Draw on your reading of Simon’s Public Policy text, Chapter 2 when considering your analysis of whether one or another of the models is most suitable.

Learning Components

This activity will help you achieve the following learning components:

  • Discuss the appropriate application of policy development models to identified community social problems and issues.

Queer Study Reading Key Terms Report

/in /by

Five key terms will be elaborated in your journal. You will define each term in your own words, and elaborate on each definition in short written entries (400-600 words), offering a “mapping” or “genealogy” of each term, based on texts and discussion from our class, supplemented with your own knowledge and interest. What does this term mean, when/where does it emerge from, what is its relevance, how do authors from our course utilize it, what other terms is it related to, and what can it help you/us to explore? This assignment can be completed in a style of your choosing, but I encourage you to write and rewrite, revisit, re-edit, and perhaps put your pieces into conversation with one another, as well as with the texts. Do whatever research you want, but do not rely on or quote dictionary definitions or encyclopedia entries for these terms. You must utilize the work of at least one course text as part of your explanation of each key term. While your portfolio can be created in a style that reads as formal or informal, artistic or analytic, it should clearly show the depth of your engagement with a course text in its entirety; don’t respond to just one quote—instead, show your engagement with a full work, or more than one text, if you choose to. For each entry, include least one quote from a course text to help with your key term; this quote should be selected carefully. Any quote should substantively bring the author’s voice into your work, and offer you the ability to more closely engage the author’s content and style. Quotes from the author should comprise no more than 10% of your total work—probably less.

Leadership And Management Characteristics Paper

/in /by

You need to be aware of the intertwining nature of management and leadership as you look for a management position. Traditionally, leadership is viewed as a subset of management. Management without leadership lacks inspiration to drive change. Employers generally include management skills and leadership expectations within job applications and descriptions.

Open your web browser and go to your preferred job search engine to search for a management position within health care. You can also search in your local newspaper or job board. Also, you can use the following keywords when completing your search:

Keywords

Management positions in health care

Health care administrator positions

Health care management

Write a 700- to 1,050-word summary that addresses the following:

  • Using the job description or requirements of the jobs you searched, explain the skills and characteristics required for each of the following:
    • Identify keywords found within the job posting that represents a management skill or characteristic.
    • Identify keywords found within the job posting that represent a leadership skill or characteristic.
  • Explain what characteristics are found in a leader.
    • What are the traits of an effective leader?
    • How do these traits support you in becoming an effective leader in a management position?
  • Examine the relationship between personal characteristics and effective leadership.
    • How does an individual’s perspective influence their leadership style?

Format your paper according to APA guidelines including citing the sources used.
