Family Therapy Programs Discussion

IntroductionFamily dynamics play a huge role in the development of criminal behavior. Antisocial behavior may be reflective of a troubled domestic environment. In turn, a person’s involvement in the criminal justice system can easily destabilize a family.In prisons, family therapy programs seek to improve interpersonal relationships between the offender and family members. This includes unmarried couples, single-parent households, gay couples, and blended families. While these programs are considered effective, cost and limited resources often preclude their use with incarcerated adults.In this discussion:

JJC Political Science Minority Voting Discussion Responses

Respond to 2 discussion post:this is the first statement i need to respond to:Voting in the United States is very important. Many people complain about government issues but wont take the time out to make it to the polls and vote. They feel like their one vote wont make any difference. What if everyone felt that way? .Voter turnout in the United States is often low by comparison with many other democracies.(Magstadt 2017). For a large part of our nation’s history only white males were allowed to vote. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 and other amendments removed barriers that kept African Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans from voting. Although they now have an equal right to vote minorities still trail behind whites (Fraga 2018). Older adults tend to vote more because they want to protect the benefits).hat they receive from the government such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security (Brandon 2012)According to Herndon (2018), the D emocratic National Committee is undertaking a multimillion dollar strategic plan to motivate voters who typically sit out midterm elections. They are focusing on engaging minority communities through investments in local organizing and a six figure advertising campaign. The plan is to hire community organizers to tarhet groups who have historically unlikely to vote this include African Americans, Latinos, Asians, millennials and rural voters. It is important that both parties have campaigns that work diligently to get voters out to the polls.This is the second statement that i need to respond to:I chose the Masterpiece Cakeshop, LTD. vs Colorado Civil Rights Commission which began in 2012 and the final hearing/result was June of 2018. Many individuals are familiar with this case. In this case, a same-sex couple went into Masterpiece Cakeshop to purchase a wedding cake for their reception to take place in Denver, CO. The couple was going to wed in Massachusetts because Colorado did not recognize same-sex marriage in 2012. Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop was a devoted Christian and did not agree with same-sex marriage, so he turned the couple away, refusing to make a wedding cake for them. Phillips, shop owner did however offer to sell the couple other baked goods. He felt that participating in the creation/sell of a wedding cake for a same-sex marriage violated his religious belief and values. This case was difficult as there are many constitutional rights that were brought up upon decision making between the courts. Phillips felt his constitutional rights were not being recognized, as the same-sex couple felt they were discriminated against.“The laws and the Constitution can, and in some instances must, protect gay persons and gay couples in the exercise of their civil rights, but religious and philosophical objections to gay marriage are protected views and, in some instances, protected forms of expression” (U.S. Supreme Court, 2017). Homosexuals are citizens of the United States and deserve equal constitutional rights to Heterosexuals. However, we live in a society that has been through multiple types of discrimination and will continue to cycle through discrimination subjects. The constitutional First Amendment is signification to the American People, as it gives us our liberty. “When the state encroaches on anyone’s liberty, it threatens everyone’s liberty” (Magstadt, 2017). This statement cannot be any truer for this case. The same-sex couple felt they were being discriminated against and turned away from goods and services which violated their freedom, while Phillips, shop owner argued his right to freedom of speech, religion and exercise stated through the First Amendment. The Supreme Court ruled that Phillip’s was wrong to deny that couple a cake, due to providing public good and services, even though he has his freedoms of speech and religion.I personally do not agree with the Supreme Court’s ruling on this case. The Supreme Court stated in reference to the ruling against Phillips, “Colorado law can protect gay persons, just as it can protect other classes of individuals, in acquiring whatever products and services they choose on the same terms and conditions as are offered to other members of the public” (U.S. Supreme Court, 2017). Whether, I agree or disagree with same-sex marriage or even Religion in God and the Holy Bible, I feel that the same-sex couple’s freedoms were viewed more important than Phillips’. From the dawn of time we have recognized religious freedoms and are able to openly express our beliefs and values. In this case, I think of going into local restaurants or grocery stores and reading the sign in front stating “no shoes, no shirt, no service”. How can this be ethical to refuse goods and services to an individual in poverty/homeless/lacking basic needs, but refusing to sell a cake because of religion is against the law?Kristin Travis

USC Protection Over Preparation Discussion

Respond to this post. (100 words)1. According to Sternheimer, what are some of the ways broader society tends to construct idealized, uniform, and nostalgic views of “childhood”? Do you believe that there has been a trend towards protection over preparation? How have your own childhood experiences reflected (or disputed) these ideas?.According to Sternheimer, some of ways broader society tends to construct idealized, uniform, and nostalgic views of “childhood” include defining childhood and children or youth as a singular group and basing them on certain stereotypes and characteristics that are inaccurate. As provided in the book, many common descriptors range from pure and innocent to mischievous, and any deviation from that means that a child is trouble. Another way is by painting an ideal childhood based on a suburban white, middle-class family standards, ignoring the differences in race or ethnicity and the differences among socioeconomic status. Not only that, but the idealization does not account for personal circumstances that may be happening in the home and family dynamics of a child. Lastly, our society is very insistent in creating a division between adults and children or youth. In reality, children and adults share experiences and, in most cases, their experiences are interrelated (i.e. parent-child). I do not believe there has been a trend towards protection over preparation, and I think it is the opposite. My opinion is based on the observation that there are many available resources such as educational services to prepare and bring awareness to the many issues currently faced by children and youth. At the same time, many parents are more open and more willing to initiate the discourse with their children or relinquish part of the responsibility, such as to public schools as with sex health education. My own childhood experiences reflect preparation over protection because my parents raised me and my siblings to seek out knowledge and truth and face the challenges of society since it will do no good to be ignorant and culture-shocked when the time comes. This includes being prepared more so than turning our backs to the current events and circumstances. 3. According to Sternheimer, what media and public fears seem to permeate discussions over children and technology? What evidence exists that cyberbullying is related to suicide rates in teens, or that internet predators represent a major threat to kids? Are there more direct threats in kids’ lives that tend to get ignored in these discussions? If so, why do you think that this might be the case?According to Sternheimer, some media and public fears that seem to permeate discussions over children and technology are cyberbullying and its relationship with children or teens’ sucide rates and cyber predators that threatens the safety and well-being of children and teens. Another problem that comes into light is how the Internet itself negatively impacts the health and relationships of users. With the popularity of the internet comes the “internet addiction” and its contributions to the decline in face-to-face interaction and communication skills. There is no strong evidence presented that cyberbullying is related to sucide rates in teens besides the story of Tyler Clementi presented in the book and the other teens mentioned such Megan, Amanda, Phoebe and Jamey who share a similar story. There are data that shows cyberbullying exists and its higher prevalence in the LGBTQ community. However, data on the occurrences of cyberbullying varies with the changing definitions of cyberbullying and its link to sucide is not clearly established. As stated in the 2010 study, “ ‘it is unlikely that experience with cyberbullying by itself leads to youth suicide …” The same goes for internet predators. There is no clear data present other than the news stories. The more direct threats in kids’ lives are the adults close to them since data shows that perpetrators are more likely to be the parents or someone the child knows. Another more direct threat that seems to get ignored in these discussions is the lack of access to mental health services and support for those suffering. These are ignored because it seems preposterous that those who are supposed to be the guardians and need to provide care and love for the child would be the perpetrators. With regards to the difficulty to access mental health support and services, there is still much stigma that surrounds the issue, and, economically and politically speaking, universal healthcare has always been under contention.
