Answer each of the following questions:
What are the advantages and disadvantages of involving the intended audience or population in the community health assessment?
Review the five perspectives for community health assessment in Table 3-3. Sometimes one perspective dominates, but more often, planners use a combination of approaches. Describe a situation where two or more perspectives would be valuable. Which perspectives would you use in that situation and why?
Imagine that you are part of a community health assessment and planning group. Your group believes it is important to know the rate of type 2 diabetes for whites, blacks, and Hispanics in the three census tracts being assessed. However, the only publicly available data are the county statistics that are not broken down by race or ethnicity. How would you respond to the groups, request for information about type 2 diabetes for whites, blacks, and Hispanics in the three census tracts?

Simons stated that the important distinction for treatment practitioners to make among sex offenders is to determine whether or not they are pedophilic or nonpedophilic (2015). Pedophilic offenders have a preference for sex with children. Nonpedophilic offenders do not prefer children, although they may offend against them. Some abusers that have sexually violated children are not pedophilic, while some abusers that have assaulted adults are pedophilic. The distinction is not necessarily based on the offense, but rather the preference of the offender and the fixation of the offender.
Pedophillic offenders often attempt to develop and maintain relationships with children in an effort to exploit those children sexually. Offenders that abuse females self-report twice as many as victims as same-sex offenders. Offenders that abuse either gender report the highest number of victims, and also have the highest rates of re-offense. Nonpedophillic offenders are often rapists. Their motives include power-reassurance, vengeance, and sadistic pleasure. Unlike many pedophillics, they are not fixated on the sexual act per se, but rather, the dominance, retaliation, or brutality involved in their sexual violations.
The distinctions between the fixations, behaviors, and victim choices of pedophilic versus nonpedophillic offenders is critical when devising treatment plans and assessing the potential for re-offense. Because the underlying motives and pathologies of both types of offenders is very different, treatment plans should not be the same for both type of offenders.
Although the underlying pathologies of both types of offenders is complex, research shows that pedophillics report more experiences of sexual violation in their own youth than nonpedophillic rapists do, therefore, dealing with the traumas associated with their own abusive past may increase empathy for victims, and has been shown to decrease likelihood of re-offense. Rapists, however, report higher rates of physical violence and emotional violence in their childhoods. Treatment for these individuals should include learning how to use anger productively and coping with explosive feelings.
Of course, treatment for every type of sex offender should be multifaceted. Challenges for all offenders include levels of motivation to change, underlying physical and mental pathologies, varying degrees of intelligence, and psychopathy for some offenders. While some generalizations can be made about treatment differences for pedophillic versus nonpedophillic offenders, all treatment should be both generalized to the typology of offender, but then specialized to the individual and his or her own specific treatment needs.

Stephen Discussion
These chapters for this week have helped me to understand this stage of life much better, and have, consequently, helped deepen my insight into what a few of my clients are facing in their current struggles. Its interesting to read about stages of life and then to see them play out in people you know that are part of those age/stage groups. Obviously, they are expressed differently, but there is an overall theme, and I am grateful to have a greater understanding of those themes, especially because I lack experience in the middle-adulthood stage. Both of my clients in their 50s are struggling with ways to feel they are contributing to society and feeling, what I can imagine now, some sort of stagnation as they re-evaluate their lives. One is in a fulfilling marriage, and one is on the brink of divorce, but its very interesting how they are struggling with similar issues and have decided that this is the time for them to start therapy. They decided they need help to process through different parts of their lives they have experienced and help in continuing to ensure they are living a healthy life. I can imagine its because, like I said, they are re-evaluating their lives and determining whether it is successful”. One of them is a nurse who is a great mentor to other nurses and the other started a non-profit for the betterment of her community, and this just goes to show their desires to care for their society and have generativity. Its kind of interesting too because Im trying to help teach both of them differentiation of self as they are definitely not self-absorbed individuals, though they may very well think they are!

Democracy in ancient greece 2 responses
1. I think a system of government was developed in Greece because they wanted to form a structure that included the citizens of Greece. Greece served as one of the first forms of self-rule government. In Athens all the adults citizens were required to take an active part in the government. The idea that the people can replace their government throught peaceful transfers of power rather than violent uprising or revolution. Every year 500 names were chosen from all the citizens of ancient Athens. Those 500 citizens had to actively serve in the government for one year. Durng that year, they were responsible for making new laws and controlled all parts of the political process. To vote, citizens had to attend the assembly on the day the vote took place. This form government is called direct democracy.
The founders of United States chose to copy elements of greek democracy because democracy is the idea that the citizens of a country should take an active role in the government of their country and manage it directly or through elected representatives. The key part of democracy was that the people have a voice. The United States has a representative democracy. Representative democracy is a government in which citizens vote for representatives who create and change laws that govern the people rather than getting to vote directly on the laws themselves. I think the founders knew that with these elements our civilizations of the United States can be governed with some structure from not only the representatives but the people of our society as well.

Today I would like to discuss Athenian Democracy and its influence on todays American democracy. The Greek word polis translates to city. Initially, it referred to an administrative and religious center that was separate from the rest of the city. However, it later evolved to mean the group of citizens under the jurisdiction of a city. Unlike other ancient city-states that were governed by a king or a small group of people, the poleis were political entities that were ruled by their citizens. This discussion pertains primarily to the contemporary cities in the United States. As residents of a local government, we elect officials to serve in the three branches of government: legislative, executive and judicial. In ancient Greece, the polis would have been classified as part of the legislative branch, while in modern times, we as citizens of our respective cities would hold a similar role.
During the ancient Greek era, the 500 citizens boule was an all-male council over the age of 30 with no criminal charges who were selected to manage the day-to-day operations of the city. These appointed individuals held a similar status to our modern-day senators and congressional representatives. Initially, the council was composed of noble members who advised the king. However, over time, the boulai evolved based on the constitutional requirements of the city. Additionally, most members were selected by lot and served for one year, similar to how our officials serve for biannual terms. Our President, on the other hand, serves for a duration of four years, which is akin to the position of the King. During the reign of Cleisthenes, the Boule regained political authority and became responsible for setting the agenda of the Ekklesia or Assemblys legislative body. Additionally, it executed the formal implementation of political decisions made in the Assembly. Approximately half of the decrees ratified by the Assembly were the councils responsibility. The Boule held meetings every day, except on holidays and other ominous events. This was similar to our legislative branch, but without the fear of being banished, losing citizenship, or choosing death over being ostracized. Just like Congress, the Ekklesia had the authority to declare war. However, the responsibility of developing military strategies now lies with the Executive branch, and the appointment of magistrates is done through nomination and election by the local government.
Finally, in ancient Athens and other city-states, a deme or demos referred to a suburb or subdivision. These demes were comparable to our current local boroughs, townships, and smaller areas that are smaller than a city. Presently, these smaller entities are represented through the nearest large representation.
I believe the development of this type of government was a result of Cleisthenes recognizing the negative impact of a tyrannical power structure on society. He aimed to introduce changes that would facilitate growth and balance. Cleisthenes held the belief that the citizens should ultimately wield power in their own government, not only due to its fairness but because it was the most effective means of maintaining social harmony. Considering the vast number of states, locations, areas, and people in the US, this structure was ideal for our democracy. Our early leaders were mindful of the impact of expansion on policies and government adaptation. By ensuring equal representation for each location based on a percentage of citizens or a set number of representatives per state, the government could continue to function during the countrys expansion.
