/0 Comments/in /by

Question

You have been asked to lead a ten-person team within your department. You know that several of these team members have not worked well together on previous group projects, so you have decided to put the team through a series of team-building activities.

Review the important themes within the sub questions of each bullet point. The sub questions are designed to get you thinking about some of the important issues. Your response should provide a succinct synthesis of the key themes in a way that articulates a clear point, position, or conclusion supported by research. Select a different bullet point section than what your classmates have already posted so that we can engage several discussions on relevant topics. If all of the bullet points have been addressed, then you may begin to re-use the bullet points with the expectation that varied responses continue.

–   Define your top three goals or objectives for the team-building activities for the scenario. Defend why those goals are appropriate. Also assess at least two other possible goals and justify why they did not make your top-three list.

–   Select two articles that discuss whether team-building activities really help. Briefly note what you learned from the articles. Did they guide you to select the best activities, or did they warn you away from certain activities? Justify three best practices for team building activities that emerge from the articles.

–   Team dynamics include both productivity (task) and cohesiveness (relationship) components. Identify three team building activities and assess the extent each influences on productivity and cohesion. Evaluate how cohesion and productivity are linked.

The final paragraph (three or four sentences) of your initial post should summarize the one or two key points that you are making in your initial response.

4.4 Implicit Bias Test Activity #3 (GRADED ASSIGNMENT) 

Done Start Assignment

Task Explanation: Unfortunately, racial matters in the U.S. go a long way. Although socially constructed, race, racism, prejudice, and discrimination are part of the social problems we face worldwide. The task for this week is Harvard’s Implicit Bias Test, which has been administered in law enforcement agencies nationwide and the findings have been shocking. For this week’s assignment, go ahead and take the  Implicit Association Test (Links to an external site.). Although the Implicit Bias Test is usually discussed in connection with race, it can be applied to a number of groups.

This assignment will enable you to examine how you feel about certain groups (i.e., gender, sexuality, (dis)ability, religion, colorism, weight, age) and how this impacts how you view family membership. I hope you find the experience eye-opening and enlightening. Feel free to talk about this with loved ones and share the test with them as well. I hope you find this to be a learning experience. 

Assignment: Take the Implicit Association Test (Links to an external site.) examining any group of your choice. Once done, consider your test results and your perceptions towards that given group and how that may shape your current ideas and beliefs on family and relationships. This is not an easy task. Some folks introspect, but others may be in denial. You don’t have to reveal your test results to me. Simply write a couple of paragraphs analyzing how biases towards a certain group can impact our or others’ opportunities or life choices and in connection to chapter 3, write about how socialization and culture have played a role in the development of certain perspectives about certain groups.

QUESTION

Initial Post:

In preparation for the initial post, consider two (2)?of the historical selections below: 

The Lewis and Clark Expedition 

The Missouri Compromise 

Independence of Texas 

Mexican War of 1846–1848 

  • The California Gold Rush 
  • Then, in one (1) to two (2) paragraphs, address one (1) of the following:  
  • Which of your two selections do you consider most impactful on Westward Expansion during 1800–1848? Explain why. 
  • Analyze the effects of the ideology of Manifest Destiny on the two historical events that you chose from the list above.
  • Use your own words. Use 2 scholarly sources. APA format. Cited.

Reply Post:

The two historical selections I chose this week are the Lewis and Clark Expedition and The Missouri Compromise. Both selections were impactful to the Western Expansion during 1800-1848.

    In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson sent Lewis and Clark out to explore the western lands, including the Louisiana purchase. They traveled from St. Louis, MO to the pacific coast. During their travels, they interacted with Native Americans tribes in attempt to establish trades (Corbett, 2023).

  •     The Missouri compromise was an agreement passed in 1820 to address slavery in Western territories (Iber, 2003). Missouri remained a slave state and Maine a free state. The goal was to maintain a balance of free and slave states and to establish a line where slavery would be permitted. 
  •     I would consider the Lewis and Clark Expedition more impactful on Western Expansion because this journey that Lewis and Clark took was specifically to explore the western lands. The expedition lasted two years, in which the men explored the lands, found routes along the land, discovered plants and animals upon the lands and met with Native Americans and offered trades with them. This expedition gave a great deal of valuable information to lay the foundation of the Western Expansion.

Exam Content

As a clinician, it is important for you to be able to apply knowledge regarding various?client presentations?to your appraisal of mental disorders. You need to conceptualize these through both clinical and sociocultural perspectives.?In this assignment, you will demonstrate this ability by evaluating a case study addressing cognitive behavioral therapy for a refugee mother who suffers from depression and anxiety.Review the following case study: Faber, J., & Lee, E. (2020). Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for a Refugee Mother with Depression and Anxiety.?Clinical Case Studies,?19(4), 239–257.Assume you are an intern at a behavioral health clinic that addresses concerns of immigrants and refugees who have crossed borders and cultures to live in the United States. You have been asked to prepare a summary of how you would assist the client in this case?with her depression and anxiety issues.?Your supervisor wants you to summarize the situation in this case,?since next week she would like you to begin assisting with actual client summaries. You need to demonstrate your knowledge of both anxiety and depression as well as clinical and sociocultural perspectives, which are applicable to all of the clients at the behavioral health clinic.Write a 1,050 to 1,400-word analysis of the case from a sociocultural perspective.Include each of the following in your?analysis: 

Appraise the sociocultural factors contributing to this client’s depression and anxiety. 

Discuss how the therapist in the case study addressed these sociocultural factors throughout the course of therapy. 

  1. Evaluate how the therapist applies clinical concepts, such as cognitive errors and cognitive restructuring, as treatment tools, without imposing their own sociocultural values or beliefs on the client. 

What do you believe were the contributory factors to the successful outcomes of this clinical case?

QUESTION

I learned that I would need a detailed QUESTION of the subject to create single-subject research. To move forward with this research, I would need to gather info about this student’s issues through watching his behavior in the class room over time, and then create measurements around this behavior. Again, this research would be measured over time. Having the social worker observe this client for two weeks as indicated can help him/her create proper measurements and find the information needed to assess the client, and then come up with appropriate interventions.

The data might indicate the child acting increases during the week and then is better at the start of the week. This information could explain that something is happening in the classroom and not at home that might be affecting his behavior. 

The cause indicated may be ADHD. At this point, no one really knows why the student is behaving this way. We are at the beginning stages of this case, where we are exploring and doing research. I think after some testing, observing, research and information gathering, the student might be diagnosed with ADHD. If diagnosed, there are methods that can be used and services the boy might qualify for in his district. 

I would also like to know about his relationship with is family at home. Does he get attention from his mother? Is it negative attention or positive? Also, what was his attachment style like as an infant? Did he get attention as a baby? I would like to know how he is treated by this teacher in the classroom. Is he supported, heard and validated? I would like to know if he can qualify for special services like tutors and SIEDs.  (ilana)
