Consider his assertion that free will and determinism are compatible and explore this concept in regard to criminal behavior and nature/nurture debate. For this discussion:Discuss your view of determinism and free will. Provide a brief description and definition of each.Do you ascribe to the idea that criminal behavior is in some part or as a whole deterministic?If so, please elaborate and explain your perspective. How do the following presuppositions relate to human behavior and the development of our perspectives on nature and nurture, and criminal behavior?Consider what assumptions we begin within any discussion of free will and determinism. Some believe human beings are born with a clean slate, while others may hold the view human beings are born good or born bad. A clean slate presupposition holds that human beings are neither good nor bad but at the mercy of nurture or environmental forces. Others presume human beings are naturally good, a state in which something happens to cause criminal behavior, or that human beings are born bad, a state in which our natural inclinations must be overcome for us to avoid criminal behavior.

Based on the two peer-reviewed research articles you found, identify and explain two principles to guide ongoing practice with this population.

Journal: A Global PerspectiveAsking clients how they view themselves—in terms of ethnicity, race, national origin, and other dimensions of diversity—is a culturally humble and appropriate act. So, too, is learning more about a given population through research.Evidence-based social work, as you recall, involves surveying the literature for the best available information on a particular practice issue and combining that with professional expertise and client preferences to make an educated decision. This same approach can be used in the context of diversity and culturally competent practice. Social work research has been conducted on many different global populations, and the evidence there can be used to guide practice. Remember, though, that there is no “one size fits all” technique for working with specific groups. These research findings must be tempered with the unique circumstances, characteristics, and wishes of a client.For this Journal, you read peer-reviewed research articles on a global population of your choosing. Then you extract two principles to inform your practice with this population.To PrepareReflect on what you learned about the global and displaced populations identified in this week’s Discussion. Select one population to further research.Search in the Walden Library for at least two peer-reviewed research articles related to this population. By Day 7Submit a 1- to 2-page written journal or 4- to 5-minute video or audio journal in which you:Identify the population you have selected.Based on the two peer-reviewed research articles you found, identify and explain two principles to guide ongoing practice with this population.Describe how your research into this population has informed you as a culturally competent social worker.Use the Learning Resources and at least two peer-reviewed research articles to support your thinking.

Evaluate the implication of policies and policy change in the lives of clients/constituents.

Assignment 2: Policy IdentificationAccording to the Council on Social Work Education, Competency 5: Engage in Policy Practice:Social workers understand that human rights and social justice, as well as social welfare and services, are mediated by policy and its implementation at the federal, state, and local levels. Social workers understand the history and current structures of social policies and services, the role of policy in service delivery, and the role of practice in policy development. Social workers understand their role in policy development and implementation within their practice settings at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels and they actively engage in policy practice to effect change within those settings. Social workers recognize and understand the historical, social, cultural, economic, organizational, environmental, and global influences that affect social policy. They are also knowledgeable about policy formulation, analysis, implementation, and evaluation.Walden’s MSW program expects students in their specialization year to be able to:Evaluate the implication of policies and policy change in the lives of clients/constituents.Demonstrate critical thinking skills that can be used to inform policymakers and influence policies that impact clients/constituents and services.This assignment is intended to help students demonstrate the behavioral components of this competency in their field education.To prepare: Working with your field instructor, identify a social problem that is common among the organization (or its clients) and research current policies at that state and federal levels that impact the social problem. Then, from a position of advocacy, identify methods to address the social problem (i.e., how you, as a social worker, and the agency advocate to change the problem). You are expected to specifically address how both you and the agency can effectively engage policy makers to make them aware of the social problem and the impact that the policies have on the agency and clients.The Assignment (2-3 pages):Identify the social problemExplain rational for selecting social problemDescribe state and federal policies that impact the social problemIdentify specific methods to address the social problemsExplain how the agency and student can advocate to change the social problem
