Discuss Carl Whitaker’s statement “experience, not education . . . changes families.” What evidence is there for the effectiveness of Whitaker’s approach?

“Emily was sick of her husband, Ralph, coming home at night and immediately starting to watch television. He expected her to serve him dinner- a meat and two veggies- and to be quiet so he could watch his shows” (Gladding, 2019, p. 255). One day Emily casually askes her husband if he would consider attending couple’s counseling. He reluctantly consents, as an act to please his wife. If you were this couple’s therapist, which techniques of Behavioral and Cognitive-Behavioral Family Counseling would you consider and why?

Provide a balanced picture of the technology to enable informed decision making.

Each student will select an technology and record a briefing to the class on its role and value to enterprise IT. The presentation should inform the class of the following areas:
The potential benefits, technical and business, of the technology to enterprise organizations
Costs and risks associated with adopting the technology
Key leadership and management considerations for a successful selection and implementation
An overview of alternatives for competitive context
Students will also be expected to review and provide feedback on the presentations of their peers.
Logistics
Students should notify the instructor of their subject technology to avoid duplicates by February 20.
Students will upload their recording, or a link to it, to this assignment.
Students may employ slides and other media as appropriate.
Guidance
Select a specific capability, application type, or technology market. Avoid broad technology categories (e.g. cloud computing, machine learning) and specific products (e.g. AWS Lambda, Salesforce Sales Cloud). The individual markets covered by Gartner Magic Quadrants are good examples of a suitable scope: https://www.gartner.com/en/research/magic-quadrant (Links to an external site.)
Make a technology selection and inform the instructor early to confirm its suitability and seek guidance on questions and concerns.
Draw on the key topics covered in class so far and highlight the implications for business and organizational strategies, vendor selection, IT service management, digital transformation, and business operations.
Avoid going into technical details.
Provide a balanced picture of the technology to enable informed decision making. Be realistic about situations where there may be better alternatives and avoid “over-selling” the technology.

What did you believe was meant by “drug-related violence” before reading this?

Chasing the Scream referred to research that found the majority of “drug-related violence” is related to trying to control the drug trade rather than crimes committed by those under the influence. It later states that when a large number of drug dealers are arrested, drug dealing does not decrease and violence, such as homicide, increases. (Hari, 2015, p. 80)

An explanation of why you think that the agency created a plan to evaluate the program

Assignment: Working With Data
Statistical analysis software is a valuable tool that helps researchers perform the complex calculations. However, to use such a tool effectively, the study must be well designed. The social worker must understand all the relationships involved in the study. He or she must understand the study’s purpose and select the most appropriate design. The social worker must correctly represent the relationship being examined and the variables involved. Finally, he or she must enter those variables correctly into the software package. This assignment will allow you to analyze in detail the decisions made in the “Social Work Research: Chi Square” case study and the relationship between study design and statistical analysis. Assume that the data has been entered into SPSS and you’ve been given the output of the chi-square results. (See Week 4 Handout: Chi-Square findings).
To prepare for this Assignment, review the Week 4 Handout: Chi-Square Findings and follow the instructions.
By Day 7
Submit a 1-page of the following:
An analysis of the relationship between study design and statistical analysis used in the case study that includes:
An explanation of why you think that the agency created a plan to evaluate the program
An explanation of why the social work agency in the case study chose to use a chi square statistic to evaluate whether there is a difference between those who participated in the program and those who did not (Hint: Think about the level of measurement of the variables)
A description of the research design in terms of observations (O) and interventions (X) for each group.
Interpret the chi-square output data. What do the data say about the program?

Post at least two strategies social workers may use to become advocates for social change through cultural competence.

Social work administrators can use their roles as leaders to increase cultural competency within their organizations and, thus, help to create positive social change. As social work administrators critically assess situations in which social injustice or inequality has taken place, they may discover an organizational need for increased cultural competency. However, changing the culture of an organization is not an easy task since administrators must address personal and organizational assumptions about diversity and cultural competency simultaneously.
For this Discussion, consider how social work administrators might apply their leadership roles to increase cultural competency within their organizations.
By Day 4
Post at least two strategies social workers may use to become advocates for social change through cultural competence. In addition, identify at least two challenges administrators may face in developing cultural competency within their organizations.
Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.
