Impact of Ageism and Adultism Response

Respond to at least two colleagues with a comparison of how adultism and ageism affects the Logan and Parker families. In your comparison, draw specifically on your colleagues’ analysis with any further details that support or critique your colleagues’ posts. Also, be sure to provide specific examples related to both the Logan and Parker families.COLLEAGUE 1: Jacqueline Adultism is the assumption that young people are not as good, or worthy of their perspectives being respected, as adults are.  This is supported by laws, attitudes, and customs in society today (Adams et al, p.553, 2018).  These acts and customs vary based on gender, culture, class, religion, etc. This is not to be confused with adults disciplining or giving guidance to their children, it is when the acts lead to mistreatment and disrespect. Adultism leads to adults completely discrediting the thoughts and feelings of young people. In the Logan case both of Eboni’s parents exhibit adultism pertaining to her revealing to them that she is pregnant. ;Darlene, Eboni’s mom, called her an offensive name after finding out that Eboni was pregnant (Plummer, Markis, & Brocksen, p.9, 2014). Classism influenced Eboni’s mother’s reaction as well because she was a teen mother and has had to struggle economically as a result. Religion played a part in Eboni’s father’s use of adultism. He attempted to use his religious beliefs to guild her into keeping the baby. In addition, he broke her trust and confidentiality by telling the priest that she was pregnant.As a side note: I really wish the case told us her decision to keep or terminate the baby, I was very interested to see what it would be.Adams, M., Blumenfeld, W. J., Castaneda, C., Catalano, D. C. J., DeJong, K., Hackman, H. W,… Zuniga, X. (Eds.). (2018). Readings for diversity and social justice (4th ed.). New York, NY: Routledge Press.Plummer, S.-B., Makris, S., & Brocksen S. M. (Eds.). (2014). Sessions: Case histories. Baltimore, MD: Laureate International Universities Publishing. [Vital Source e-reader].COLLEAGUE 2: JasmineThe oppression of youth is called adultism. Adultism intersects with other forms of oppression such as racism, classism, and sexism (Adams et. al., 2018). Minority youth such as Black and Latino/a youth are subject to even more oppression as they are often poor and are not granted the same access to medical and psychological treatment as their White counterparts sexism (Adams et. al., 2018). In the Logan case, Eboni Logan is a 16-year-old pregnant teen who is conflicted about her options and decisions on carrying full term, termination of pregnancy, and adoption. Eboni’s grandmother May, made a doctor’s appointment to ensure that she is actually pregnant. Eboni’s mother, Darlene insists that she gets an abortion because she is too young and Eboni’s father Anthony, says she must keep it because abortion is a sin that is murder. When Eboni met with the school social worker, she asked the social worker what should she do about her situation. The social worker stated she cannot tell Eboni what to do, she can only educate her on options.According to Adams et. al., youth are taught to perform in subordinate roles which make them the target while adults play the role of the dominant as the agent. These roles teach youth that the dominant roles are expected to speak and make decisions for them sexism (Adams et. al., 2018). The dominant role takes independence away from the agent when speaking and trusting themselves when making decisions. The amount of power in these roles create inequalities which manifest as subordination and oppression of youth because they are taught to believe the dominant decision is the best decision sexism (Adams et. al., 2018). This is an example of why Eboni thought the social worker could tell her what to do in this situation because she has been conditioned to think her decisions are not valid and worthy.

Sexual Orientation Gender Identity and Gender Expression Response

Respond by Day 5 to a colleague’s post by offering additional insight about how social workers can work toward assuring the best outcomes for adolescents questioning their sexual orientation or gender identity. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer. Colleague: AnnetteSexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Gender ExpressionAs an adolescent, you are going through many transitions to include puberty and developing your own identity. During this time, adolescents have mixed emotions about their friends, family, what they want to be, where they want to go, and the list goes on. Adolescents may also go through a period called gender intensification, which is when they feel increasing pressure from their peers or family members to conform to the stereotype painted by our society (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2019). There are several potential reactions to an adolescent questioning his or her sexual identity. These reactions can be harmful and or positive. These reactions may come from their peers, their parents, their siblings, and other relatives, their teachers, and other services providers. How these individuals react to the adolescent possible questioning of their identity could affect them in so many ways.If a male or female adolescent questions his or her identity and discloses it to a friend who is not open to the perspective of the LBGT community, he/she could lose a friend. Also, the alleged friend could begin rumors or even ostracize the adolescent. Adolescents who question their identity are more prone to scrutiny and bullying among their peers. If an adolescent, who is questioning their identity, parents are strictly religious, and he/she discloses their likes for the same-sex, it could cause a strain on the parent-child relationship. Which could also cause a strain on other familial relationships. These adverse reactions could negatively impact the adolescent’s self-esteem and self-worth. I believe our society is more open to the differences of others; however, because of gender-based stereotypes it does “limit people’s alternatives” (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2019).As social workers, I believe we must continue to educate our communities. Besides, we must provide individualized counseling for our youth, also providing education for them as well. Showing them empathy, warmth, understanding, and being genuine will help rebuild any loss of self-esteem, self-worth, etc. which could also prevent any self-harming behaviors from occurring due to the pressures to conform from others. Our first goals should be to assess the adolescent and the environments that are affecting them and build a plan from their continuing to assess for any other concerns. We should make sure we build a strong, trusting rapport with the adolescent because that will be crucial to the success of treatment.ReferencesZastrow, C. H., Kirst-Ashman, K. K. (2019).

What grade would you give yourself and why and what goals would you set for future presentations?This is my specch I am greatly delighted to be talking to you on the topic of prejudice and discrimination. In the current earth, prejudice and discrimination are greatly linked. Prejudice is seen as a negative feeling one has against another person of a different group of persons. Being prejudice means that one ha a preconceived rigid and illogical approach and view about another group. Discrimination, on the other hand, involves all attacks on others that have a prejudice motive.The times of the past few months and the present have been traumatizing to most of the people worldwide and who knows when this will come to an end? It has spread in most countries of different continents without sparing even the superpowers. People from all ethnicities, prominent people, rich, poor, have all been infected or affected in one way or another. The virus was first termed as “Pneumonia of unknown cause” by the WHO. It has since spread from Wuhan in China to all continents of the world and it is still spreading every day (Novel, 2020.) Most of the countries that have already reported Corona Virus cases are continuing to report an increase in number daily. Different countries have given different views and reports regarding the virus, a good example being the United States of America.US President Donald Trump in reported that everything was  came to refer to the Virus as the “Chinese disease” and blamed the Chinese people.This is seen to have arisen verbal and physical attacks toward the Chinese and the Asian-American people. The Asian-American people have since been treated differently as the case of being looked at intently as you cross the streets or when in a grocery shop. Other situations have even been worse where there was an incident of a lady who was shouted at by a total stranger, was spat at and shouted at for being Chinese. This has led to increased preconceived opinions about the virus being Chinese origin, that the Chinese are the cause of this pandemic. The main target that the president wanted to protect was the stock market, wanting it to look good but the virus has now affected the whole of the US.face masks have been highly recommended by medical practitioners to curb the spread of the COVID-19 (Snijder et al 2003).Since the number of reported COVID-19 patients in the US has been increasing, it has forced them to use the face masks despite Americans being against face masks. The face masks are associated with the Asian countries where it is a requirement to put them when in public places. This is because most of the respiratory diseases originate from Asian countries and are mostly discriminated against for this (Wen, 2020). Trump said that his people are not going to wear the face masks forever. This implied that wearing of face masks is alien and alarming. The president says that China together with the WHO should have given an early notice about the virus. A political crisis has also been experienced, especially Chinese involvement through verbal attacks. The main cause of inequality in the US is prejudice and discrimination, whether one is international or not. Prejudice and discrimination are unconsciously, subconsciously or consciously, furthered by us to our neighbors. Our prejudice emotions usually affect our behavior. Because feelings are always present in our daily lives, we handle them will determine how we get affected. Most of the normal activities carried by people have been greatly affected, some coming to a standstill.  Since the whole world is now affected, we now have to go by the measures put in place by the WHO and our governments to help curb the spread of the virus and hope for the best.ReferenceNovel, C.

COMS 425 Refutation of George Bush Speech 2003 Paper

Read the argument below and develop a valid refutation to it. You can use any of the methods of refutation we have discussed in class. Your answer should be 1-2 paragraphs in length.George W. Bush, March 17, 2003:My fellow citizens, events in Iraq have now reached the final days of decision. For more than a decade, the United States and other nations have pursued patient and honorable efforts to disarm the Iraqi regime without war. That regime pledged to reveal and destroy all its weapons of mass destruction as a condition for ending the Persian Gulf War in 1991.Since then, the world has engaged in 12 years of diplomacy. We have passed more than a dozen resolutions in the United Nations Security Council. We have sent hundreds of weapons inspectors to oversee the disarmament of Iraq. Our good faith has not been returned.The Iraqi regime has used diplomacy as a ploy to gain time and advantage. It has uniformly defied Security Council resolutions demanding full disarmament. Over the years, U.N. weapon inspectors have been threatened by Iraqi officials, electronically bugged, and systematically deceived. Peaceful efforts to disarm the Iraqi regime have failed again and again — because we are not dealing with peaceful men.Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised. This regime has already used weapons of mass destruction against Iraq’s neighbors and against Iraq’s people.The regime has a history of reckless aggression in the Middle East. It has a deep hatred of America and our friends. And it has aided, trained and harbored terrorists, including operatives of al Qaeda.The danger is clear: using chemical, biological or, one day, nuclear weapons, obtained with the help of Iraq, the terrorists could fulfill their stated ambitions and kill thousands or hundreds of thousands of innocent people in our country, or any other.The United States and other nations did nothing to deserve or invite this threat. But we will do everything to defeat it. Instead of drifting along toward tragedy, we will set a course toward safety. Before the day of horror can come, before it is too late to act, this danger will be removed.The United States of America has the sovereign authority to use force in assuring its own national security. That duty falls to me, as Commander-in-Chief, by the oath I have sworn, by the oath I will keep.Recognizing the threat to our country, the United States Congress voted overwhelmingly last year to support the use of force against Iraq. America tried to work with the United Nations to address this threat because we wanted to resolve the issue peacefully. We believe in the mission of the United Nations. One reason the UN was founded after the second world war was to confront aggressive dictators, actively and early, before they can attack the innocent and destroy the peace.
