What are the ethical arguments against such a referral?

Description

This exam will only cover Unit 8 materials!  Please be sure to answer each question fully and include references to your textbook and at least 2 supplemental resources.  Each response should be at least 500 words in length.  You will have the opportunity to save your work and return to it as needed.

The Final Exam is due by Wednesday of Unit 8 at 11:59 pm EST.

2. Instructions

The following is the case study you will use in answering the exam questions.

· Social workers are sometimes faced with parents who are desperate to produce changes in their children. Sometimes these changes are simply impossible, as when the parents of a child born with a profoundly life-limiting genetic or chromosomal disorder wish their child could be cured. Sometimes the changes can be achieved, but with work, as when the parents of a child with an intellectual disability want to help their child live as independently as possible. Other times, parents may want to try an intervention that is questionable—one that perhaps has never been shown to help or may even do harm. So-called conversion therapy, which proponents claim can convert people who are gay or lesbian into heterosexuals, is one such intervention.

QUESTION 1

1. After reading the discussions on gender socialization, gender and coping and gender and aggression, assume the role of a professional trainer for child welfare workers.  You are presenting on the intersection between gender roles and aggression in teen boys.  Discuss what points you would highlight that reinforce aggression in boys and also discuss what prevention strategies can be used to challenge the gender differentiation of young boys and girls.

QUESTION 2

1. Suppose the parents demand that you refer them to a therapist who will provide conversion therapy. What are the ethical arguments against such a referral? What are the ethical arguments in favor of such a referral? What will you do?

CHANGE INITIATIVE ASSESSMENT: PAPER ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS Each student will prepare 1 document to submit through TurnitIn. The project is an organizational change report that will total no more than 15 pages (not counting title or reference pages; no abstract is required). The paper must follow current APA format guidelines and will contain 2 main parts. Part 1 must be 1250–1750 words, and Part 2 must be 1500–2000 words. A minimum of 10 peer-reviewed sources must be used within the paper. Part 1 (a maximum of 1750 words) must be written as a case and must describe vs. analyze/recommend. Part 1 must be modeled after the cases read during the course, containing similar format and content. Part 1 must contain a case description of a large organizational change (one about which you are able to obtain significant information). Types of change might include mergers, acquisitions, downsizing, new strategic direction, globalization, public image failures (BP, Toyota, Facebook, Goldman Sachs), macro-economic change, political/legal shifts, or some other type of organizational change. The target organization may be a private, government, or non-profit organization with which you are familiar. Remember that you will need to select an organization for which you are able to collect considerable information in order to create a comprehensive case. Part 2 (a maximum of 2000 words) must be a thorough analysis, with suggestions for change and recommendations for management interventions in the case from Part 1. This part of your Project must be modeled after your 2 Consulting Proposal assignments, each of which includes an analysis section and a recommendations section. In the analysis, apply course concepts to the case. In your recommendations, provide strategic, practical, and insightful actions for management. Consider the following questions in Part 2: Based on your learning related to this course, how would you diagnose what is really going on in the organization selected? How well do the organizational leaders/members understand what the issues really are? How ready is the organization to change in terms of awareness, motivation, flexibility, and skill? Given the context of the change (social, political, economic, customer need, etc.), how big a change is required to move the organization to a productive and effective mode of existence? Analyze the company’s particular approach to change. Why did the organization take one particular approach to change (e.g., downsize) rather than other possible ones (e.g., creating a learning organization)? How effectively was the particular change attempt carried out?

BMAL 504 Page 2 of 2 How did resistance to change manifest itself? How effectively was the resistance addressed? What were the objectives of the change effort? How successful was the change effort given its objectives? How might the organization have used some of the materials and learnings from this course to increase the success of the change effort? What consulting strategy would you use in working with the organization? What recommendations would you make to the organization on how to be more effective in implementing and/or sustaining changes going forward?

Discuss how juvenile offenders are dealt with and your position if you are in favor of their approach or not.

Punishment vs. Rehabilitation

Many states have laws that children ranging from under six to 12 years old can’t be prosecuted for crimes. In some states, there are different age categories based on the severity of the crime.

States also have guidelines to determine if a child should enter a state care facility instead of a detention center. Minors might be placed in:

• Drug, alcohol, or addiction rehab centers

• Family counseling while living full time at home

• Centers for behavior or emotional problems

For this assignment pick a state and present an overview of that states approach to juvenile justice. Discuss how juvenile offenders are dealt with and your position if you are in favor of their approach or not. Support whatever position you take with at least 1 source.
