Social justice
Strong research project
Consider, for example, what criteria are used in your discipline to evaluate alignment of research components. And in what way will your future research contribute to your identity as scholar-practitioner who is dedicated to positive social change?
For this Discussion, you will consider criteria for evaluating alignment among the various components of a research study. You will also reflect on your role as a positive social change agent through research.
With these thoughts in mind:

Student Demographic Data Form Students will be directed to a link in Canvas that takes them to a survey form where they can provide information relating to their demographic characteristics and they can provide contact information so they can be contacted for the Alumni survey they will receive in the years following graduation. Upon completion of this survey, students will need to navigate back to Canvas to submit sections of their Final Case Study.
SECTION II (Directions)
Integrative Case Study: Write a case study based on an actual case from your generalist (i.e., 1st year (16 hour)) field practicum. This Final Case study may also be written from the material provided to you by your instructor, based on a film or the David Makes Man series. The decision to use either the series or the film results from a discussion between the student and the course instructor. However, students who do have an active case they are working with from their field internship will be expected to use that case. Please take all precautions to disguise the client system including using initials and changing any case details that could make the client identifiable by others. In addition, obtain consent from the client and approval from your field instructor to use him/her/them for the embedded assessment.
Social-network in community and neighborhood
1. Which activities you think she could modify in order to keep doing them, and how?
2. Based on her living conditions (e.g. physical and social resources, impact and pain of OA, and level of disability), what steps in the SOC model, do you think she is likely to use, why?
3. First, how much “fit” (balance between competence and press), do you think she currently has? Does she “fit” in some ways and not others? How?
4. Using “systems” theory (four layers of context), where do you think resources are need (what level) to help her better age-in-place?
Note: The SOC steps are: selection, optimization, and compensation; and for these questions and answers, I am also looking to see that you cite from the article by Cignac, Cott, and Badley’s (2002).
Note: the four layers of context are: 1) personal-individual resources and abilities, 2) small-group/relationships with other people (e.g. friends, family), 3) social-network in community and neighborhood; and 4) social-cultural factors—services, systems, policies. And, in this section, I am also looking to see that you cite the article by Greenfield (2011).
Introduction: I still want you to try and explain (as best you can), why these three theories (SOC, Competence-Press, and Systems Theory) are useful in studying the daily lives of older adults. At this point, I’m less concerned about you trying to define each. But, you still need to mention and describe what you will be doing in your essay.
US criminal justice system
You are given the power to alter the course of how “justice” is delivered in the contemporary United States. What sorts of policies, efforts, decisions, etc, would you enact? Thinking about the history and contemporary development of policing, mass incarceration, and criminalization and how they are shaped by race, class and gender, what should “justice” look like?
To answer this question, please map out one central “reform” that you would propose for the US criminal justice system to tackle racial, class and gendered disparities. There are distinctions between “reformist reforms” versus “non-reformist reforms.”
A reform refers to changing the existing institution through gradual changes. Non-reformist reforms refer to focus on structural changes to society that reduce contact with the criminal justice system and transform the relations of power that shape punishment.
You are required to draw from AT LEAST FOUR of the readings and materials. Think about the connections between institutions such as the family, education system, government, police, prisons, criminal courts, parole/bail, etc., and how one navigates based on their positionality (race, class, gender, age, residency, sexuality, sexual expression, legal status, etc).
Social Institutions and Gender
Respond to 2 of the 3 following prompts in 2-3 pages. Copy-paste the question into the top of each section to identify which prompt you are responding to. Use 3 key concepts from the textbook and course lectures within your paper. Provide references (APA format) for all data/concepts provided (including the textbook).
Required prompt (everyone must answer this question):
Intersectionality is a perspective used to understand experiences associated with identities, including gender. What is your understanding of intersectionality? How does gender fit into an intersectional perspective? Apply intersectionality to a topic of your choosing.
Optional prompts – choose 1 of the following to respond to:
2a. Social institutions drive social behavior. Choose 1 social
