Recommend a retirement plan that meets the needs of both Annie and her employees.
Annie Scott has a small business and a dedicated core group of employees, but Annie’s business does not currently offer a retirement plan. Several of Annie’s workers are highly skilled and are considering leaving her company to work for employers that offer more benefits.
Annie wants to retain her skilled employees, but she also doesn’t want to hire a plan administrator, nor does she want to administrate a retirement plan herself. Annie seeks to foster a highly collaborative workplace and manages by building consensus among her team. Accordingly, she has called a company meeting with the staff to discuss the issue of a retirement plan. During the meeting, Annie notes several suggestions made by her staff, which are outlined below:
Ernie wants a 403(b) plan like his wife, who works at the local university.
Jasmine thinks they could simply give everyone a generous bonus and let them enroll in an individual retirement account (IRA) on their own.
Nadine thinks there are some attractive plans for small businesses, but she doesn’t know what distinguishes SEPs, SIMPLE plans, and Solo 401(k)s. She wonders if Annie has thoughts on these various types of plans and their relative merits for their company.
Charles thinks the staff is making the issue more complicated than necessary. Why not just start a 401(k) plan like everyone else seems to have?
Annie has come to you to advise her on the situation facing her business.
Review the retirement plan options above and detail the positive and negative implications of each plan.
Identify retirement plans and their positive and negative implications for the level of administration required for each plan.
Recommend a retirement plan that meets the needs of both Annie and her employees.

What are some of the “lenses” that social workers can view this case?
George is brought to a community outpatient mental health clinic due to his parent’s observation that he is “not acting like a normal 13-year-old.” George’s parents report that he is failing school, has no peer group, and he is often angry at home, “lashing out at this younger brother and sister.” They brought him to the clinic because they think he is suffering from the same mental illness his mother has, and the last straw was that he was found with marijuana in his bedroom. The family reports a long and detailed family history of substance abuse. And, they report that George’s mother lives with debilitating symptoms of anxiety and intermittent depressive episodes.

Explain how the events described in the passage relate to specific concepts discussed in the Mutsaers and van Nuenen (2016) essay on Police Punishment.
In an article entitled K-Pop Fancams Got Political to Protect Black Lives Matter Protesters from Dallas Police, a Teen Vogue journalist writes:
link:
On Sunday, May 31 [2020], the Dallas Police Department took to Twitter to urge its followers to send in video of illegal activity from the protests via their iWatch Dallas app. Not even 24 hours after the original call to action, they tweeted the app was experiencing technical difficulties and will be down temporarily. The reason? Well, K-pop fancams might have something to do with it.
After [George] Floyd was killed in police custody, countless protests have taken place and are ongoing around the U.S. and beyond, demanding justice and calling out racism and police brutality against Black people. While people are fighting for basic rights in the street, some K-pop stans are doing their part online. As reported by BuzzFeed News, K-pop fans took notice of the Dallas Police Departments first tweet and took matters into their own hands to protect protesters. Instead of submitting video evidence of illegal activities, stans inundated the app with their fancams.
In no more than 400 words, explain how the events described in the passage above relate to specific concepts discussed in the Mutsaers and van Nuenen (2016) essay on Police Punishment. In your response, compare this example with one of the examples the authors discuss in their text.
Explain how the institutional culture of Wall Street investment banks have promoted new ideas of liquidity and shaped the U.S. economy.
1) Consider the following quote from Karl Marx (1858):
The reciprocal and all-sided dependence of individuals who are indifferent to one another forms their social connection. This social bond is expressed in exchange value, by means of which alone each individuals own activity or his product becomes an activity and a product for him; he must produce a general product exchange value, or, the latter isolated for itself and individualized, money. On the other side, the power which each individual exercises over the activity of others or over social wealth exists in him as the owner of exchange values, of money. The individual carries his social power, as well as his bond with society, in his pocket. (Marx, Grundrisse)
In the quote, the author describes the relationship between money, power, and social bonds in a capitalist social formation. Using Karen Hos Liquidated (2009), explain in no more than 400 words.:
(a) how the institutional culture of Wall Street investment banks have promoted new ideas of liquidity and shaped the U.S. economy; and
(b) the connection between shareholder value discourses and historical narratives that legitimize Wall Streets ethos.
